Never heard of this one. It *sounds* like one of the sleazy 'easy'
*small* Linuxe distros. From what I have heard, these 'stripped down'
distros tend to be more hassle in the long run than one of the various
full-scale distros (i.e. Slackware, SuSE, Debian, or RedHat).
Although, these 'full' distros have lots of 'stuff' and might seem a
little confusing to someone who just wants a basic desktop system, in
the long run you will sooner or later want random extra bits and
pieces. It is possible to do a 'minimual' install, and then go back
and install additional bits later.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you want the perl regex to match over multiple lines change it to:
$ perl -n0777 -e '/(?i:copyright).*?(?!Microsoft)/s and print "$ARGV\n"'
*
I made the assumtion that the message "Copyright ... Microsoft" would
not have a newline (\n) between the two words (which I think is a safe
assumtion for most copyright notices.)

Have the parent create two pipes before forking off the two child
processes.
The children will inherit them. One reads the first and writes the
second, and the other does the same, using the appropriate ends.
Another way is for the processes to communicate is to use ipc (if it
is enabled in your kernel).
Yet another way would be to use TCP/IP, which is a bit of overkill if
running on one machine, but it gives you the ability to run the two
processes on different machines rather easily if it ever becomes
necessary.

They might get on as an ordinary user (by maladministration of the
system) and read /etc/passwd so as to crack the root password. They
might have sniffed somebody's telnet sessions, for example, or nfs may
not be securely set up.

I was thinking that the MD5 encryption of passwords, that permit
passwords to be over 8 characters long (255 characters max, IIRC), was
more secure than the old crypt(3) encryption with the Enigma 3-rotor
scheme that has long been the default.

I see we have different viewpoints. My view is that if you have more
than one user (e.g., root and at least one other is more than one),
that the bad guy might guess (by sniffing or otherwise) the non-root
login sequence and then he could read /etc/passwd from which he could
probably crack the root password given the desire and time.

Hello,
Tell me how stupid I was, then tell me how to fix this...I installed( almost)
glibc-2.2.2, and it failed. After restoring my original
RH7.0 glibc by relinking them, Init no longer works. I tried to set init=/bin/bash in
my kernel command line, and I can boot to
bash. But, when I try to run init to switch into rl 1, it says "cannot create
/etc/initrunlvl, read only filesystem". I checked out
The Init docs, and they say init uses the fifo /dev/initctl when communicating on an
r-o fs. Something is messed up here, but,
what is it? Can anyone help me???

Is there some way that you can specify an 'asyncmap a0000' or similar to
the pppoe setup. It sounds like the path is not escaping the xon/xoff
characters, and the data contains such characters.
Just an untamed fowl to chase (aka wild goose) mind you. :)

IMHO There are two possible causes for this problem which is all to do with
the ppp daemon setup.
Check man pppd to see all the options but the ones you are interested in
are "auth" and "noauth".
If that fails check out the format of your /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and
/etc/chap/secrets files. Usually it is
USER * PASSWORD *
If the second * is missing it might be causing problems.
Hope this is helpful

Subject: A2PS
Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2001 13:45:32 GMT
I have an old HP LaserJet 4 and I use Suse 7.0.
I can print to the raw printer normally. But for the ascii and auto
printer, apsfilter will send the print job to a2ps to convert that into
Postcript file and print to the printer.
The problem is for some reason, the print area only covers a bit bigger
than 1/4 of the physcial area of a Letter paper, no matter what options
I play with the a2ps.
When I view the intermediate Postcript file thru gv, I find that a2ps
only format the print area to cover exactly what I mentioned above.
Does anyone have any idea what happens ?
This affects the way StarOffice prints as well. I have a nice document
in StartOffice, but I can never be able to print the document to cover
the whole physical page. The print area only covers a bit bigger than
1/4 of the page.
Thanks,

I am having a problem with the gcc compiler. It seems that a program such
as this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
�
main()
{
� char *string1 = "We will all shout \"Howdy\" now!\n";
� char *string2;
� int i, len;
�
� len = strlen(string1);
� printf("%s\n", string1);
�
� for(i = 0; i < len; i++)
� � if (string1[i] == '\"')
� � � string1[i] = '\'';
� printf("%s\n", string1);
}
It compiles but segfaults on the string1[i] = '\''; line. This same code
runs file on Solaris and DGUX.
My gcc is
gcc version 2.95.3 19991030 (prerelease)
Any Ideas?

Hylafax IS complicated to setup and i find very hardware specific. I waded
through all the documentation and got it working quite well.
To send faxes you need something that prints PS to sendfax with the
telephone number. If you have a Pentium II behemouth with at least 64kb ram
you might try StarOffice 5.2 which includes a nifty setup for a fax printer
already integrated with Hylafax (also mgetty+sendfax for that matter which
is on the whole much smaller and easier to manage)
Otherwise look under the clients section on the hylafax.org site there are
various scripts which work. Basically they accept PS or Gif printouts and
then append phone numbers.
The commandline mode is to produce the file and then use the sendfax
command to send it. sendfax does have a man page. read that :-)
BTW to read faxes you have to point a program that is up to reading Gif
files at /var/spool/fax/recvq.

Check out amanda (www.amanda.org). There are many people using amanda
with autoloaders, and loads of helpful advice on the mailing list (which
is archived at egroups). It takes a bit to understand exactly what
amanda does and how to set it up, but once you do, she takes care of

Sounds like Caldera to me...
It should be a pretty "full-scale" distribution, although it may
eschew some complicated stuff like "server components."

It fails for this, too:
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
char *string1 = "We will all shout \"Howdy\" now!\n";
printf("%s\n", string1);
string1[0] = 'A';
return 0;
}
I think this is not a gcc problem.
The correct declaration of string1, if you want it to be a pointer,
should be:
const char *string1 = "We will all shout \"Howdy\" now!\n";
You are not allowed to modify the area allocated for your string. Only
the address of the string is copied to main() stack.
Yet, if you want to modify string1 you should declare it as an array
not as a pointer:
char string1[] = "We will all shout \"Howdy\" now!\n";
in which case all string is copied to main() stack.
You can use "gcc -S your_program.c" to see how gcc generates assembler
code.

Yes, I have read the HOW TO. Problem is that it seems that I am doing
everything correct, and still get no results.
:(

Have you tried reading the Printing/HOWTO? I did that once (printing to
> an HP) and worked fine with the instructions from the HOWTO.

Having the contents of ~/.netscape on FAT32 is a Bad Idea(tm),
it will at various times contain several symbolic links, which
FAT32 doesn't support. Your Netscape will crash every time,
as opposed to most of the time. Besides, your netscape email
resides in ~/nsmail. Then there's the naming convention. I
don't have a Windows netscape anywhere near me right now, but
in short, the Windows Netscape email files has a standard file
type signifier (three letters after the dot...), the Unix
ones doesn't.
I fear you'll have to make a symbolic link from each file in
your ~/nsmail directory to the appropriate file on the FAT32
partition with the actual email files. And then make sure
to create a new link every time you create a new mailbox.
Have fun. :)
I'd suggest getting vmware with windows (or using wine) and
run your favourite Wintendo Email client inside that when
your machine is in Linux.

How about: grep 'Copyright' | grep -v 'Microsoft'
