Yeah, what you want is called "ssh". Don't use telnet except as a
diagnostic tool, it's insecure.

*poof* an emacs X window. No muss, no fuss.

The parallel port Zip drive *IS* a *real* scsi device. The Zip drive
contains a *real live* parallel port SCSI adapter inside, attached to a
SCSI Zip drive. If you have no other SCSI hard drives (the IDE-ATAPI
CDR[W] with the scsi emulation shows up as a CDROM type device), then
your Zip drive is /dev/sda. Standard 'PC' Zip carts have a FAT 16 >
30meg file system on partition 4: /dev/sda4. 'PC' Zip *tool* carts
have a FAT 16 file system on partition 1: /dev/sda1. Mac Zip carts
have a no partition table and have a hfs file system on the whole
device: /dev/sda. So these are the mount options:
Standard PC Zip cart:
mount -v -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip
Tools PC Zip cart:
mount -v -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/zip
Standard MacOS Zip cart:
mount -v -t hfa /dev/sda /mnt/zip
For the parallel port Zip drive to work, you need to remove the parallel
port driver:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/lpd stop
rmmod lp parport_probe
rmmod parport_pc
rmmod parport
Then you need to load the ppa driver:
modprobe ppa
At this point you should get messages about the Zip drive being detected.
It should be telling you that the Zip drive was bound to sda (/dev/sda).
If there is a cart in the drive it will list its partitions, otherwise
it will complain about not being able to figure out how big the drive is
-- this latter is normal for a drive with removable media with no media
in place.

Thanks. I tried -a option and managed to put 99% of the 1.7G on the first
tape. big improvement.
I am wondering if it will make a difference using /dev/st0a or /dev/st0l, or
/dev/st0m.
Some one mentioned "mt" command. I couldn't find it on my RH7.0. which
package provides it?
thanks a lot.

Who said anything about kids? It's me - I don't want to read that stuff. As
for kill-filing as a "solution" to gratuitous rudeness and stupidity, it's a
failure: you can't "kill-file" people like ignoramus until the damage is
already done.
What's wrong with expecting people to use polite language? Does polite
language just take too much self-control?
I guess we need rec.photo.digital.foulmouthed.children. I invite ignoramus
and his philosophical kindred to join. Get your revenge, deprive the rest of
us of your wit and wisdom. We'll suffer, but we promise not to whine about
it.

Hey, folks!
I'm a RedHat7 newbie, and I'm reading through a couple of books and getting
hands-on experience. The books cover Perl and Tcl/Tk scripting as well.
I wanted to get some feedback on just how import these scripting languages
are in real world. Specifically, my questions are:
1) As a newbie, should I skip the scripting language stuff and focus mainly
on basic CLI commands, or learn scripting along w/the CLI?
2) Which scripting language is most widely used in the *nix field?
Thanks for your input!

You're acting like seeing the dreaded F-word is going to somehow scar you
for life. Somehow I doubt it.
Regardless, you don't see anyone here advocating the use of foul language.
Neither do you see anyone advocating outright abuse. What you DO see is at
least a pair of sensible people who do not wish to be dictated to on the
basis that someone has kids and they don't want their kids to see/hear/do
something. I don't particularly appreciate the foul language either. I
simply answered the poor guys question and promptly ignored it. If you
REALLY have a problem with foul language, don't whine about it...do
something about it. In terms of Usenet, the best thing to do is kill-file
someone. Done. Simple. End of story.

Subject: eth0 works but now PPP has quit!!
Date: Tue, 17 Apr 2001 17:46:32 -0400
I'm running Suse 7.0 and have had no problems with my network connections
until now. I replaced a 3Com ethernet card with a LinkSys card. The LinkSys
came with drivers and required me to install some kernel modules. No problem
and my local network works fine. However, after I installed the new card my
PPP dialup connection, that had worked fine before, will no longer let me
see
my ISP. I'm not very up on network configuration. Below is what ifconfig
reports and what the last 10 lines of my ppp log shows. Any help here would
be very appreciated. I don't fully understand all of the configuration files
so any
tutorial suggestions or just a few words of advice would be much
appreciated.
Thanks,
James Kimble

Odd isn't it?
3 technical responses to the question, 2 complaints about the improper and
inapropriate use of language, (I don't think the poster was speaking of
intercourse) and 24? posts concerning the objection. Be it for the "sake of
the children", the vulgarity, the simple mindedness from the poster, or
whatever the objections, it just seems strange that so many would come to
the rescue of the mis-user/ obuser.
