You could open it with od (man od), but you probably will not like it.
It might be interesting to do
od -c filename.exe | less
and look at it for a moment or two. Type q when you have seen enough.
What would you want a .exe file on a Linux box? Are you running WINE?

You should post your question to the debian-user mailing list. Go to
www.debian.org to subscribe.
I don't use much Gnome stuff, but I have gotten the impression recently
that there are some problems with the Helix stuff. You might want to
consider removing the Sawfish package you got from Helix and installing it
from the Debian archive.

Hi,
I have a cable connection to the Internet through the LiknkSys BEFSR41
Cable/DSL EtherFast Switch/Router. I am using a 192.168.1.x private net
along with other Windows machines. The question I have is if it is
possible to run a mail server on each machine, i.e. I have sendmail on my
Linux machine and would also like to start a similar thing on other windows
with windows software. I tried to enable port 25 forward for all the
192.168.1.x IP address and ended up with my Linux sendmail was unable to
respond to the incoming e-mail. I certainly would appreciate any help in
this matter. TIA.

Subject: rpm2html questions
Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2000 14:31:36 -0500
Reply-To: tgm
First, does anyone know when rpm2html/rpmfind will get rpm 4.0 db
support? Downgrading my rpm software is really not an option at this
time.
Next... I have a development machine that is used primarily for
evaluating packages, etc. This has me installing/uninstalling rpms a
lot. I have another machine that has lots of disk and have setup a
variety of rpm mirrors. I have the file systems that contain these
mirrors mounted locally via samba (I know it sounds stupid, but it's
an NT box with lots of disk and interoperability is a big part of what
I'm up to anyway). Installing/upgrading rpm's is no problem with this
arrangement and I have been able to create rdf databases with rpm2html
for these local mirrors. Here is what I would like to do further... I
would like to download a variety other distribution rdf files and add
them to the local database without needing to actually maintain the
rpm mirrors themselves. I have no problem downloading the rdf's but
the rpm2html process deletes them all out if they are not specified in
the rpm2html.config file. If I try to dummy something up, rpm2html
complains that the rpm's are missing. Is there a solution to this
problem? Maybe some undocumented directives for the rpm2html.config
file? I know that rpmfind could be used, but I have some bandwidth
issues that can't be fixed any time soon.
And last... Is the code available for the search engine used on the
rpmfind.net website? Maybe it's using something standard but the
specific config would be helpful instead of reinventing the wheel.
BTW... Using rebuilt versions of rpm2html (1.5-1) and rpmfind (1.6-1)
that handle some of my local library issues. Seem to work fine.
Thanks in advance.

another option would be:
shopt -u interactive_comments

wondering why that option is enabled by default, very rarely
(if ever) have i had a need for comments in an interactive shell.
does anyone else use them?

Hi
I'm trying to get Linux box A to log in to Linux box B w/o password via
Key Authorization.
I ran ssh-keygen;
I copied A:~/.ssh/identity.pub to B:~/.ssh/authorized_keys ;
I checked that B:~/.ssh permissions are 700;
I read the sshd manpage looking for anything mentioning disabling Key
Authrization - nothing;
I checked B:/etc/ssh/sshd_config anyway.
Yet it still asks me for a password when I connect from A to B.
WHY??? (for the record, I'm running RH7.0)
Thanks

Hi all,
if your 1505 is the same sort I had, it is *not* pnp, but simply

Have a look in the driver aha154x.c how to make it work.

Get the name of the file from RedHat and do a Google search for the filename
(excluding the file path)

Where is the configuration file for Gtk+ to find its modules?
When I launch any program that use gtk+ library, I got the following
error:
Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate loadable module in module_path: "libxfce.so",
I must have copied some file wrongly from my previous system,
because I was using xfce as window manager (excellent WM though) in

distro, different gtk, different WM -- How can I make gtk+ not
looking for libxfce.so any more?
Thanks

Subject: setting up cd writing
Date: Wed, 27 Dec 2000 21:45:24 GMT
I am having problems setting up my cd-rw and cd-rom under rh7.
I have an IDE/ATAPI cd-rom (hdc) and a cd-rw (hdd).
After following the instructions in the CD writing howto (I think)
cdrecord --scanbus correctly sees the cd-rw and xcdroast will happily
burn CD's.
However, it cannot see the CD-ROM and thus I cannot configure xcdroast
to use the cd-rom as its reading device.
How can I correct this, so that xcdroast will see the cd-rom as a
reader, but the system will still automount cd's in the cd-rom drive?
Thanks

Whenever we speak of a storage device..each logical partition needs to
have a definite file system(as specified by that OS)
The hard disk has to be formatted this way...and so has to be the
floppy. Definitely, the CD-ROM cannot be any different...But in the case
of an audio CD or a movie CD...which has to run on a VCD player etc. is
the same format followed?
I observe that, the OS is able to recognise the movie CD and display its
