Is there a telnet server, is it in inetd, and is access enabled in
hosts.allow too?

That's correct. For raw telnet, that is.

Opera numbers printed pages. Or save the PS output to a file and use
pstops on it.

don't know if it would work but u could always initiate with someone
using a Windows machine (or a linux machine that wasn't behind a
firewall, which i'm assuming is what u are trying to get thru) and then
once the chat is going run 'netstat' to see if the icq chat connection
is listed , and if so, what port it is using.

Subject: Re: Parallel port in 2.4 kernel
You also need to enable 'pc style hardware'.
it took me forever to figure out why my parallel port zip drive wouldn't
work. I didn't have that PC style hardware option turned on. You need
that for the lpt port to be recognized.

My modem still doesn't work. It dials and verifies but I can get NO web
pages and any ping (even to an IP address) doesn't work; it comes back
network unreachable. I have set up the DNS server details in YaST.
Any ideas?

If you are running a Red Hat distribution, you could renumber the
scripts in /etc/rc.d/rc?.d to get the order you want. But you better
be very careful about doing that because there is a required
ordering to some of those things. Here is the top of a typical file
in /etc/rc.d/init.d:
#!/bin/sh
#
# sendmail This shell script takes care of starting and
stopping
# sendmail.
#
# chkconfig: 2345 80 30
# description: Sendmail is a Mail Transport Agent, which is the
program \
# that moves mail from one machine to another.
The sixth line tells the chkconfig that this stuff should be started
at run levels 2,3,4,and 5. The symbolic links to this file should be
S80sendmail in the rc[2345].d directories and K30sendmail in the
rc[16].d directories. You should change these only if you KNOW that
those who wrote the original ones had made an error. You may have to
do some others as well if you do one, because, as I said, some need
to go up or come down in a particular order.

Is a telnet server actually installed? As I understand, some
distributions don't install it by default for security. And if it is
installed, you might want to check your xinetd configuration in
/etc/xinetd.conf and /etc/xinetd.d (the latter is a directory).
The /etc/services file is really just the port equivalent of the
/etc/hosts file (well, at least that's what I've found). Also, might I
suggest that you look into ssh.

You do not need to specifically add it to gcc. The distributors of
the MIRACL package should have told you how to install it.
In any case, you just diddle your makefiles to pick it up.
Here is how I set up a makefile to use some libraries that gcc never
heard of, IBM's sqllib:
DEFINES = -DDEBUG
MACHINE_TYPE = -mcpu=i686 -march=i686
DEBUG_FLAG = -g
OPT_LEVEL =
OBJS = main.o
AR = /usr/bin/ar
CAT = /bin/cat
CHMOD = /bin/chmod
CP = /bin/cp
CXX = /usr/bin/g++
ECHO = /bin/echo
RM = /bin/rm
SOURCES = ${OBJS:.o=.cc}
.SUFFIXES : .o .cc
MY_BIN = ${MY_ROOT}/bin
MY_HEADERS = ${MY_ROOT}/include
MY_LIB = ${MY_ROOT}/lib
MY_ROOT = /home/jdbeyer
MY_STOCKS = ${MY_ROOT}/stocks
MY_STOCK_HEADERS = ${MY_STOCKS}/include
MY_STOCK_LIB = ${MY_STOCKS}/lib
IBM_DB2_PATH = ${IBM_DB2_ROOT}/sqllib
IBM_DB2_BIN = ${IBM_DB2_PATH}/bin
IBM_DB2_DB2 = ${IBM_DB2_BIN}/db2
IBM_DB2_SAM_CPP = ${IBM_DB2_PATH}/samples/cpp
IBM_DB2_HEADERS = ${IBM_DB2_PATH}/include
IBM_DB2_LIB = ${IBM_DB2_PATH}/lib
SYS_CXX_HEADERS = /usr/include/g++-2
SYS_LIB = /usr/lib
CXX_FLAGS = ${DEFINES} ${DEBUG_FLAG} ${MACHINE_TYPE} ${OPT_LEVEL}
CXX_INCLUDES = -I${MY_HEADERS} -I${MY_STOCK_HEADERS} \
-I${IBM_DB2_HEADERS} -I${SYS_CXX_HEADERS}
CXX_LIBS = -L${MY_STOCK_LIB} -L${MY_LIB} -L${IBM_DB2_LIB}
enter_dow: ${OBJS} ${MY_STOCK_LIB}/libstock.a ${MY_LIB}/libmine.a
${CXX} ${DEBUG_FLAG} ${CXX_LIBS} -o $@ ${OBJS} \
-lstock -lmine \
-W,-rpath,${IBM_DB2_LIB} -ldb2
[snip]
The sqllib is in IBM_DB2_ROOT (picked up from my environment) and
the library represented by -ldb2 is in
/usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/lib/libdb2.so . I suppose I could have put that
into /etc/ld.so.conf, but I didn't. Instead, it finds things by
watching the -W,-rpath thingie and following all the definitions
around and they finally resolve to /usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/lib; thus, -ldb2
picks up /usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/lib/libdb2.so (that is a symbolic link to
/usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/lib/libdb2.so.1). There are a lot more libraries
in /usr/IBMdb2/V6.1/lib, but you get the idea.
I hope that is enough to get one idea of how to go about it. One
reason for not putting it into /etc/ld.so.conf is so as not to
pollute the namespace of the other users of this machine with the
names of these particular libraries.

man umask? Do it in your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.bashrc. If you want
to do it to (almost) everyone, look at /etc/ and examine
csh.login, profile, zprofile
but do not fiddle with those until you are sure you know what you
are doing.

You can do a kickstart from CD-ROM or a local network(harddrive).
Installing from a local network is actually the most common method of
installation.
http://www.redhat.com/support/manuals/RHL-6.2-Manual/ref-guide/
Just scroll all the way down to section:
III. Appendixes/F. Kickstart Installations
It's very easy...

Maybe the people questioning this believe it should be possible for these
scripts to run on other unix-like systems that would have Bourne but may not
have bash. I dunno. But they're right to question this. If you're using
bash-specific features, you should be explicit about it with #!/bin/bash.

Subject: IP-Routing (SuSE Linux 7.0 pro)
Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 08:04:20 +0100
Hello,
I'm using SuSE Linux 7.0 and I realized lots of things referring to network
tasks (samba, ipchains-restrictions, internet-routing, ipmasqadm portfw,
transp. proxy, proxy-server, etc.)
There's only one issue I was not able to realize until now.
Is there a possibility to route all TCP/UDP/ICMP-requests from the
linux-server to another computer? Independently which port is addressed.
I tried it with ipmasqadm portfw and autofw but I only found a solution
"port-oriented" but not "ip-oriented".
thank you very much in advance,
Sebastian

I only have RH6.0, i dont know if its changed, but for my system:
/usr/sbin/authconfig
This is the prog run during install. I can deselect MD5, and it gives me
DES
Hope this helps

Hell, I may as well join in: used Pan, NS, KNode, slrn, pine.
I always seemed to go back to slrn (perhaps becuase I also use mutt).
Quick note: when you say you want a "GUI" client. What exactly do you mean?
i.e., what's your requirement in a GUI newsreader?
I ask because if you're just looking for a newsreader with a point-and-click
to read interface, slrn can still do that. Just add:
set mouse 1
to the .slrnrc file, and you can select messages to read etc with the mouse.
There's even a menu for use with the mouse as well.
You can also tell it to use a different text editor to write the messages than
just vi (if you really wanted. Can't see the appeal myself ;-)
Just a thought.
Lee.

I think you may have run into a problem that stumped me for a while som time
ago -- in.pop3d expects a specific directory, /var/tmp/.pop to exist. Create
it with "mkdir /var/tmp/.pop" and your woes may be over. (On the system I
helped with, it was owned by root, had root as group and had permission 770)

Subject: nonIDE CD skips! wtf?
Date: 21 Feb 2001 19:39:00 GMT
I put in a CD full of mp3 goodness. My old-timer CD (i use sbpcd as a
loadable module) i forget what its speed is, plays the songs ok except
for a frequently recurring split second skip when the light flashes. I
believe that signifies a 'read'. Is there a way to improve its
performance i.e. increase the buffer per read or something?

Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2001 19:56:57 +0000
Try setting up xdm, on remote machine, then using
X -query remote.machine
to bring up a login dialog where you are. The network is then
transparent.
