Write permissions aren't enough; you need actual ownership of the mount
directory. (Being in the directory's group with group write permission
isn't enough, either.) I just did tests of this with both smbmount and
mount to be sure, and found the same results with both (using Samba
2.0.7 on a Mandrake 7.2 system running kernel 2.2.17). I don't know if
this is documented in any official documentation, but it is mentioned
on p. 211 of my _Linux Samba Server Administration_
(http://www.rodsbooks.com/samba/).

Is there a linux version of real player 8? I am using redhat 7.0 and
have real player 7 installed. However, some web sites now require the
latest version and there is no such version for linux on the real.com
site that I can find.
Thanks,

I am using redhat 7.0 and real player 7. Howerver, when I try to connect
to a url with real player, I get a panel that says real player is
"contacting" and that is all. No connection is made.
Am I doing this correctly? Say I want to listen to a webcast on
www.gmn.com. I assume I enter that in the
after clicking on File/openl ocation and then I would be brought to that
site where I could then make a choice of what to listen to. Perhaps I am
mistaken.

Subject: Re: Extracting the bootimage from a bootable (El Torito) CD ?
From: DII Dev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 14:46:40 GMT
I have been poking around in this area myself. For what it's worth, here's
what I have found out:
First off, I am using Slackware 7.1. On the distribution CD, there is a
.eltorito directory. In this directory is a file named eltorito.img.
In my understanding, this image file is the boot image. If you mount it
(using -o loop), you will find an initrd.img which is a compressed root
image. You can gunzip this file and then mount this under the loopback
interface.
I hope this helps.

Hello again,
Thanks to Rod Smith for the answer to my problem:
You need to have ownership of the mount point for smbmount to work.
Having write permissions via the group isn't enough.

2.35. When recompiling GCC, I get compilation errors in libio.
{BH} You are trying to recompile gcc 2.95.2? Use gcc 2.95.2.1 instead.
This version is needed because the fpos_t type and a few libio internals
have changed in glibc 2.2, and gcc 2.95.2.1 contains a corresponding patch.
You're essentially doing this.
I installed glibc-2.2.2 last week, and replace my gcc-2.95.2 compiler
with gcc-2.95.3-test4. This is the test release of the 2.95.3 version
of GCC, and now there is a test5 release. It built without a hitch.
ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/2.95.3-prerelease
It may also be available on GNU mirrors - the above site is often hard
to get in to.

Subject: Help with /usr symlink - Urgent!!!
Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 15:59:44 GMT
I'm having a problem creating a symlink. We're running on a Cobalt
RaQ3 and the way its devices have been partitioned, there's no room to
complete a DB2 install.
The DB2 install tries to build into the /usr/IBMdb2/V7.1 directory.
The process never gets a chance to start due to a "device full" error.
So, what I want to try and do is relocate the /usr directory structure
to the "/home" mount which has plenty of room and create a symlink in
it's place: root/usr --> /home/usr
Problem #1 - at this point, "mv" did not completely empty out the
original /usr nesting, stating that about 7 directories could not be
removed because they were not empty. "ls -a" shows absolutely nothing
in all unremoved directories.
Problem #2 - the new symlink for "/usr" can not be created while the
old directory still exists!
If it matters, device configuration looks as such:
device size used mount
==============================================
hda1 743466 743466 /
hda3 198601 26855 /var
hda4 13368150 1701872 /home
Notice: 'df' shows absolutely no free space left on hda1. This is not
the case. A good portition of the /usr
Outside of the obvious question "how do we go about cleaning up this
debacle",
1) will this stunt actually work?
2) is there a better way to do this? (without having the system
rebuilt)
3) why does "df" show no free space on hda1 when there is
4) would any of this be contributing to the miserable performance

Hi all,
I've just copied all my partitions to a new bigger harddisk using Ghost.
I've increased the size of all my partitions. Because Linux was on my
last partitions after cylinder 1024, I moved the Linux partitions to the
start of my harddisk with PartitionMagic. After booting the system from
a floppy and reinstalling Lilo, I can finally boot Linux from the hard
disk to the point where it stops with the error message "Invalid session

Does anybody know how to fix this?

Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 16:16:21 -0000
Hi People,
Please can you help me? I am a newbie whose keyboard's Backspace key
behaves like the Delete key. Also both the Backspace and Delete key write a
'~' when pressed in the command line.
When used in a text editor they behave as the delete key. No text is
deleted before the cursor, only text that appears after the cursor gets
deleted.
System details:
RedHat 7.0 workstation install with lots of extras included so I can learn
how they work.
Dual boot with Win98.
Hardware:
PII 333 MHz, 128MB RAM, 4.3GB, 16bit ESS soundcard, Linksys LNE100TX NIC,
Voodoo2 3D card Creative Blaster, ISA Modem, DVD-ROM with Dxr3.
I have just installed RedHat 7.0 for the second time. The first time around
the keyboard behaved perfectly. I am fairly sure that for the second
install I chose the same setup for the keyboard - standard keyboard. I have
no idea why the Backspace and Del key write a '~' in the command line
interface. Also the Backspace behaves as the Del key when used in a text
editor.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
Newbie.

Me again. I got those numbers from the Gnome System Monitor, Memory=20
Usage tab , and the total menory usage I referred to was the "Sum of=20
Resident Sizes" at the bottom of the window. As I said above, even the =
individual number for StarOffice alone is much larger than my physical=20
RAM and swap file combined. Again, is this just something I'm not=20
understanding about these numbers, or is something screwy?

It is really in state D when top-ing. Why the process

I would also recommend this book as the starting point.
It's rather out of date now, describing SVR3, but it's so
well written in the way it gradually introduces the concepts,
it's hard to beat.
You will then want to go on to read a book more related to
current Unix releases you are using, but almost nothing you
picked up from Maurice Bach's book will be wasted, it's just
that modern unixes have a lot more, and it's good to know
the design got to where it now stands.

Whilst I'm not sure what your underlying problem is, the tilde is just a
displayable byte from the escaps string produced by thees keys (typicaly
something like <esc>[3~ if I remember correctly.
As a quick fix, type
stty ek
at the command line and luxuriate in everything working OK while you
investigate how you broke it in the first place !

The current directory probably isn't in your search path.
Try ./program-name

Subject: Graph pop3 client with UIDL feature

Hello
does somebody know about a graphical based mail program (pop3)
with UIDL feature working for various pop3 servers. Kmail (version
1.0.28) which I have tried, as part of KDE, does not have the UIDL
feature.
Thanks

Relating to #1 and #2 - you're infinitely better off _not_ trying
to do this on a live system! Boot off CD, or move the HD into a different
box and do it there. Did you at least drop to single-user mode before
trying this? Part of the problem is that a fully booted system is using
things located in /usr. Trying to mess with /usr while in a multi-user
runlevel is like trying to replace your transmission while doing 60 down
the highway.
If you absolutely _cannot_ boot off CD or put the HD in a different
box, copy everything in /usr to the new location. Edit /etc/fstab so as
not to mount /usr. Reboot. It won't work quite properly, of course, but
it should come up. Make the symlink. Reboot.

Offhand, probably because there can be a difference between what the
kernel thinks and what is actually on the disk. If a process creates a huge
file that fills the disk, and keeps it open, and you delete the file without
killing the process, you won't get the space back.

Hard to say; not very likely. Fix your /usr issue properly first,
then worry about that.
