Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I have a similar set up: a
"master" node which is a dual-homed host (two NIC's on two networks).
eth0 (the first NIC) is a "true" internet address, reachable from
anywhere (like the NIC attached to your cable modem) and eth1
(the second NIC) uses one of the so-called "private IP's" such as 10.*.*.*
and 192.168.*.*. I made sure to configure the master node carefully such
that the default route was to the internet (using my exterior gateway address).
For convenience I set up a DNS server and NFS server on the master node,
as well as a firewall on the master node which disallowed any access to the
DNS and NFS from outside. I gave the master node's eth1 the address 10.0.0.1
and all the cluster nodes are 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.whatever.
I didn't actually make the master node a "router" per se since I didn't
need to access the internet from the cluster nodes. Therefore I simply
didn't enable ip forwarding in the kernel...

The m505 with serial cradle appears to work with the pilot-unix utilities
in the same manner that previous serial-only palms did. That is, if you
can get serial-only Palms working under linux, then you should also be able
to use the m505 & serial cradle.

great, that works, thanx! but i'm confused. the port number arg to
getservbyport() is supposed to be int, htons() returns short (thats
why i was using htonl instead) if ansi prototyping were in use
then the compiler should complain - i tried turning on cc -ansi to
see if it did - and it didn't - but it then complains about the
u_long cast ("`u_long' undeclared")
can somebody clarify this point?
is casting to int messing up the network byte order that was just
returned?
thank you,

I'm successfully using coldsync on kernel 2.2.18 with my Prism.
Apparently, tho, whereas serial ports work very much alike from pc to
pc, USB chips aren't, so YMMV with an m505.

Hi,
I had upgraded my Linux system to linux-2.4.5 and have to downgraded back
to linux-2.4.4 because the linux-2.4.5 would only boot up and get stuck
when it's trying to setup the loopback device. I used the same linux
config from the 2.4.4 for 2.4.5. Does anyone know if the loopback device
has been modified in the 2.4.5 distro?

I'm not sure, but I should be able to boot with a win98 startup disk
even if a drive is not attached, correct? I have tried other drives
and got the same results. The only other thing I can think of is to
flash the bios, but I can't even do that if I can't boot to a floppy.
All I'm trying to do is boot to a floppy and reinstall my OS, but for
some reason, I'm not able to boot to a floppy or CDROM.

Subject: Where is MKPROTO?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Thu, 31 May 2001 19:22:00 GMT
I am attempting to install Protector on a RedHat 6.1 server to test it
out. According to the installation instructions, all I should have to
do is unzip the package, run "make build", then "make install" and
voila. Except that when I run "make build", I get an error say that
MKPROTO can't be found.
I did some research that seems to indicate that it's an add-on, but I
can't find the file anywhere to add it on (and I'm not sure where I'd
add it anyway).
I've done little of this good "make" stuff, so I'm blundering around to
begin with, but I'm just stalled here. Any help or pointers in the
right direction will be appreciated.

Anyone have RP8 playing sounds from behind their firewall?
I did a google search for the solution to this problem and didn't
find anything useful.
I can't get that to work. Here's the details.
I downloaded and installed RP8 on my system. During the install
I heard the test sounds playing just fine. Then I tried to
auto-configure the setup. That bombed, because I'm behind a
firewall I suppose. So, I manually configured RP8 to use http
for everything and run http through my proxy server. At this
point I can "connect" to real audio files without getting the
annoying "you're not on the internet" messages. But, every file
I try to play results either in the "the file is not there"
message or the "general error" message.
Thanks....

Yes, yet another 'how do I recover my files' posting. I know that this is a

done is that I in the root directory of one of my win partitions ( vfat )
wrote 'rm -rf *' as root user. I have understod that recovering files in a

You don't mount a partition, you mount a share. The filesystem on the
system sharing (FAT, NTFS) doesn't matter. It's an authentication
thing, not an NTFS thing.
Try using smbmount instead. Example:
smbmount //1.2.3.4/c$ /mnt/windows -o username=user%mypassword

I tried Slackware, which based on reading and suggestions is perfect for

Are you using up-to-date modutils? (See Documentation/Changes.) Do you have
a bunch of non-ELF files in /lib/modules/2.4.2? (You can use the file(1)
command on the files to help identify them.)

The 2.4.5 Documentation/modules.txt says:
: * * * NOTE * * *
: The kernel has been changed to remove kerneld support and use
: the new kmod support. Keep this in mind when reading this file. Kmod
: does the exact same thing as kerneld, but doesn't require an external

The kernel hasn't used kerneld since the 2.1.* days.

Do you have problems running the system, or do you just get the error

I think thats pretty warm....
after you've installed the ide drive, formatted the partitions to your liking,
and then copied over the data, you'll have to edit the lilo.conf file on the
ide drive to match the /dev/hda partitions. You could then reboot under the
CD or a similar booth disk that has the IDE version of the lilo.conf
and run lilo, thereby installing lilo to the MBR of the IDE drive...
