You completely misunderstand the purpose of /usr/local. It's for YOUR
installations, to keep them separate from the system providers
installations. It's exactly where you'd put the links to the stuff
you compile, so you'd hardly _want_ to remove these dirs! The
fact that they're empty now merely reflects the fact that you haven't
done any work, just produced hot air ...

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a journaling filesystem being developed for Linux that
includes individual file compression (like NTFS?)
The filesystem would also have to work well with a small cluster size
(perhaps 1kB).
Thanks,
Adam

2.4.* does swap differently from 2.2.*. See
http://lwn.net/2001/0503/kernel.php3
for the part headed "A 2.4 swap bug - maybe".

Hi All,
I have a linux ipchains router connecting to dsl. Red Hat 7.0
I've been able to setup a FTP server using port 21 using IPCHAINS and
ip_masq_ftp... works great
However, using different ports provides better security.
Has anyone had any sucess w/ this type of setup??

Correction, using different software provides better security.
Different ports are just ... different.
Can't you use scp? If you want to offer files to the world, use http.
There is nothing to be gained by using an ftp server except perhaps a
few new entries in your passwd file ;-(

Subject: Ext2fs structure
Date: Fri, 4 May 2001 18:13:39 +1000
Hi all,
Just after some clarification,
I've been looking through the Extended 2 Filesystem docs, and cannot find
mention of the bootsector anywhere. After grabbing the bootsector off the
partitions, (using dd count=1 bs=512 if=/dev/hda1 of=./boothda1.sys), and
the Bootsectors are empty, that is all 00's.
Does this mean that the Bootsector is not used? If not, can I use for my own
purposes, like putting in some boot code, so that my kernel can reside on an
ext2fs floppy disk? Or boot a custom OS without using lilo, or grub...
Is there a definitative Specification for Ext2fs, which is to used. I have
read the Ext2fs source from kernel 2.4.2, but some things and ideas need to
be clarified.
Chewy509...
PS. I know the superblock starts at offset 1024d, ie the 3rd sector of the
device, and everything is past this. But what is placed in the first 2
sectors? Or have I read this incorrectly?

Does anyone know the device name that provides a compressed dump backup
on Redhat linux?
I am currently using dump -0auf /dev/nst0 which isn't compressed.
On a SUN Solaris system it is /dev/rmt/0cn for example.
Thanks in advance,

If you install PostgreSQL then also install pgaccess.
It is a TCL front end that allows the development of
tables, forms, queries, reports, etc... The look and

dunno, about the specifics of red hat, but in general, yes you can use
a u.s. keyboard for chinese/japanese input. your keyboard doesn't
matter, and even if it did, you could remap it.

I found out what happened! It was the 'automount' of CD that caused
the problem. The strange thing is that the LEDs of the CD=ROms didn't
flash. The SCSI bus activity LED was flashing and I heard the HD making
noise....
Anyway, this automount task actually make the system slower, not to
mention the HD noise. I got one CD-ROM and one burner that may
need more resource for automount.
It is fine now after I disable the automount.

You have to be careful when you start to changing the ports because ftp uses
two ports to do its communications (ports 20 and 21). Hence, if you do play
around with the ports and your FTP daemon allows you to do so, you will need
to find a client as well which is capable of actually knowing that your ports
have changed. Some clients are hard-wired causing all sorts of problems and
making them slightly inflexible.
See ya

The CD doesn't contain Linux, but you can do a fresh install with it. If
you
want, just pop the CD into the drive, set the CD to be bootable(in BIOS), and
boot to the CD. Then, you can reformat the hard drive, or anything.
Or, you can make the Floppy bootable, by the BIOS, and you should be able to
boot
to the hard drive from the kernel on the floppy
