It turns out that Apache was working all along. The problem was that @Home was
blocking web access to my server from other @Home users. When tried access from a
dial-up account everything worked just fine!

You need a program called screen. I think it comes with most distros
(comes with RedHat, anyway.) You run screen, start your program, and
then detach from the screen you are in.

Just installed RH 7.1 and am trying to get FTP working. When I dial
into my ISP from a Windows system I get an access denied msg. When I
run "chkconfig --list wu-ftpd" it returns "wu-ftpd off". Is this why I
can't connect?

hello!
when someone has logged in remotely to my box and then logged out, i can
still see that person when running 'who'.
afaik 'who' reads in the /var /run/utmpx file.
i only have ssh for remote logins, but i think i had the same problem
with telnet.
what causes the file not to be cleaned?
or, do is this a problem with slack7.1?
i use slackware 7.1, with kernel 2.4.2 and openssh 2.3.0.

I had a lot of errors in my earlier posting on this topic.
I am not sure which RedHat I have, maybe it is 6.2, I'll have
to look again.
I also described the problem with ls incorrectly. Here is what
really happens:
(1) If I mount /c and execute "ls /c" I get a segmentation fault.
(2) If I execute "ls /c/foobar" and /c/foobar does not exist, it tells
me the file doesn't exist.
(3) If I execute "ls /c/foobar" and /c/foobar does exist, it prints
"/c/foobar". If I execute "ls -l /c/foobar" it returns correct
information about /c/foobar.
(4) If I execute "/c/foobar.*" it logs me out.
(5) I have no trouble looking at /c using stat. I have no trouble looking
at /c/foobar with stat if /c/foobar exists. If I execute "stat /c/foo.*"
it logs me out.
In Kernighan and Pike, they say one can look at the inodes of files in
a directory by running "od -d foo" where foo is the name of the directory.
In this version of Linux, apparently od can only be run on files. It would
be nice if there were some way to have the old capabilty of "od -d foo".

I don't think so. Also, when I execute /sbin/lsmod, it shows msdos
and vfat and fat installed.

Would you care to elucidate why one woul not want two cards on one network

Also, older versions of Slackware (up to 4.x IIRC) via floppy. Once you
get everything
running, you can upgrade via net as neccessary. Works great on my DX-66

Of all serious crimes under the law, smuggling...
least violates the consciences of men. It is a crime
against law and against government, but not against
morality. The smuggler robs no man. He buys goods
honestly in one market and sells them honestly in
another. His offense is against an arbitrary regulation
of government.... he simply fails to pay its demands.
Many men otherwise honest are unable to see any moral
turpitude in smuggling. ...government, in exacting toll,
plays the part of the highwayman.

Hmm, Intersting point.
Win98 reports no conflicts in IRQ assignments, PS/2 is IRQ12.
(Thanks for the help, "hassard")
However I seem to remember that there was a message
about "cannot find irlan0"
Perhaps the 2.4 kernal expects a LAN and confuses it with
the mouse? (I don't have any network card)
I'll try your suggestions as soon as I get 7.1 reinstalled.
I'm back to 6.2 at the moment.
Many thanks.

Yes. Use "chkconfig wu-ftpd on" to start ftpd automatically at boot,
or "service wu-ftpd start" to start it immediately.

The bit rate setting is for the MP3 _en_coder. A smaller number means
worse sound quality and smaller resulting file, while larger bit rate
improves sound quality but creates bigger files.

Which vooddo?
I had 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000 PCI working with Xfree 3.? with the
SVGA driver, but some fiddling with XF86config was necessary.
Now I run 3dfx Voodoo 3 3500 AGP, with Xfree 4.0 and tdfx driver,
it worked out of the box (SuSE 7.0).
So updating to Xfree 4.x would be the easiest way for you.

Subject: [Q] how to compile/link against older libc?
Date: Sun, 27 May 2001 11:02:17 +0100
hi folks
i'm trying to work out whether it is possible to link against an older
version of glibc? currently, i have glibc-2.1.3 installed as my 'main'
C library (this system was originally RH-6.2) and everything is built
and linked against that, but i want to link against an older libc5 that
is on my system.
is this possible? i have gcc-2.95.2 which was built against
glibc-2.1.3.
the older libc5 libs are under /usr/i486-linux-libc5/lib but i dont see
any header files in there, so i presume these libs are just for
pre-built bins that have been linked with libc5 and not intended for
compiling/linking against.
many thanks

Or edit /etc/xinetd.d/wu-ftpd and change "disable = yes" to "disable = no"
Then execute /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd restart. And the next time you reboot
you don't have to run any chkconfig command.

Go to linuxdoc.org, lots of interesting HOWTO's
and I remember seeing something about win98 linux.
I am currently running both and use lilo to boot
either.
My method was to start the linux install up to the
partitioning, create two partitions for win and linux
save and "ctrl alt del" to abort.
Then install win on part 1
Then restart linux install and go right through and you
will eventually be prompted to install lilo in the MBR
and add the win/dos partition to lilo.
It works well.
