Based on Dan's suggestion I've incorporated setlocale() into lsof where
possible. Further regression testing of lsof 4.57 will reveal where
setlocale() use is possible. Its use is being incorporated into lsof
via a #define that appears in each UNIX dialect's machine.h.
Relevant to this group, setlocale() is usable on my Linux 2.2.19 test
system.
Those interested in seeing the results for themselves are welcome to
download this lsof 4.57 pre-release distribution for Linux.
ftp://vic.cc.purdue.edu/pub/tools/unix/lsof/NEW/lsof_4.57A.linux.tar.gz
('A' is a pre-release edition identifier that is subject to change
without notice, so look for 'B', or 'C', or higher, if you can't find
'A').
I tested a file whose name contained \xe4 in it with LANG=C and
LANG=en_US. LANG=C printed \xe4 while LANG=en_US printed the proper
character from that locale.

I'm attempting to find the latest source code for the file command. The
Availability section of the man page for file(1) says
You can obtain the original author's latest version by anonymous FTP on
ftp.astron.com in the directory /pub/file/file-X.YY.tar.gz
and all the download sites on which I've found it listed (i.e. linux.org,
etc.) direct the user to that link. Unfortunately, the server is not
responding (connection timeout).
Does anyone know if it's now being maintained on another site? If not,
where else can I find current source code?
Thanks,
Mike Dean
P.S. Do you know how many results you get when you do a web search
for "file"? :)

double check that your win2k box is on the same subnet as your linux
box. i have ran into problems with cable companies that use dhcp,
giving out ip addresses that are in 2 and 3 different subnets
sometimes. for a computer running smb to show up in network
neighborhood, they must have the same broadcast address. take these
examples..
65.27.20.0 -- 65.27.21.255 anything in this range would be
considered on the same subnet if the subnet mask was 255.255.254.0
65.27.20.0 -- 65.27.20.255 anything in this range would be
considered on the same sunbnet if the subnet mask was 255.255.255.0
the broadcast on these subnets is the upper limit, 65.27.21.255 and
65.27.20.255 ... so as you can see, if your subnet mask differs, your
broadcasts addresses change and your systems cant talk through
netbios without a router or a wins server on each side.
i think if you would do an "ipconfig /all" on your windoze boxes and
an "ifconfig" on your linux box and copy and paste the output into
this newsgroup we could help you out much more.
good luck.

I just installed Redhat 7.1 and noticed that after I exit the X server
and KDE I get some error messages on the screen and the system shows
that user logged in on pts/1 and pts/2. This only happens after I start
KDE. Before I log in to KDE it just shows the regular user on a tty.
When I start KDE it shows the user on a tty, pts/1 and pts/2. Then when
I log out of KDE it doesn't log out the two pts/x logins.
Some of the error messages are:
Waiting for X server to shut down kdeinit: fatal IO error: client killed
kdeinit: sending SIGHUP to children
Does anyone know how I can get KDE to log out correctly or at least kill
the two logins it creates? It's not a major thing but the system always
shows 2 extra logins.

I don't know.
I generally just use "less". At least on RH[67] systems, less
seems to recognize "man" format groff files and "does the right
thing" by running them through groff.
If you just want a formatted page on stdout you can do
groff -man -Tascii cppp.1
It will have backspaces in it for underlining and boldfacing.
You used "col -b" to get rid of those:
groff -man -Tascii cppp.1 | col -b

Subject: How do I get French (Canada) keyboard to work in SuiSe 7.1?
Date: Mon, 4 Jun 2001 12:59:39 -0300
I have yet to see any distro that properly deals with my keyboard - Hewlett
Packard, French Canadian -. Why is this such a problem in Linux? This time
I'm trying SuSe 7.1 Evaluation CD. For the first time all my devices work
without a hitch except that blasted keyboard. The reason is obvious: SuSe
doesn't know that French is one of the languages in Canada and this key map
is not even available to choose. In Red Hat and Mandrake the choice was
available but didn't work properly, some keys were incorrectly mapped. In
Mandrake the map was almost perfect in KDE but totally wrong in a command
window. Is there a way to retrofit any distro in this regard or do I need
to purchase another keyboard to use Linux?
Thanks for any help,
Peter

Subject: Can't see mounted ISO images via NFS
Date: Mon, 04 Jun 2001 17:15:26 GMT
Hello,
I am trying to create a NFS server that will allow other machines to
see a large number of mounted CD ISO image files.
So I have a directory called /sharedcds, and in that directory I have
mounted the CD's using the loop device, so that the directory looks
like this:
/sharedcds
/sharedcds/cd1.iso
/sharedcds/CD1 ( -> mounted cd1.iso at CD1 with mount -t iso9660 -o
loop /sharedcds/cd1.iso /sharedcds/CD1)
All is fine on the machine itself - it can see all of the .iso image
files and the mounted CDs. But any machine that NFS mounts /sharedcds
only sees the CD1 directory. They do not see anything in that
directory.
What am I doing wrong? Do I need to do something in NFS to say follow
mount points or something? All of the files in the directory are
marked as readable, writable, and executable.
Thanks for any advice.

Well, there are probably easier ways to do this, but here's what some
experimenting showed:
You can override the list of directories that man looks in by
providing the man command with the -M option. From the manpage ('man
man') it looks like this alone should work, such that if your new
manpage (cppp.1) is located in directory blah, then
man -M blah 1 cppp
should bring up the manpage.
However, experimenting showed that man (at least the version that
comes with Slackware 7.0) is looking for specific subdirectories in
the MANPATH (-M blah) list; Section 1 manpages reside in the man1
subdirectory (i.e. blah/man1/cppp.1). So, without further delving into
the intricacies of man, you could make a man1 subdirectory somewhere,
copy your cppp.1 into it, and invoke man accordingly. You could also
fake out the subdirectory by
ln -s blah blah/man1
which builds the man1 subdirectory as a symbolic link to the directory
in which the cppp.1 manpage is stored.
Now,
man -M blah 1 cppp
will bring up the cppp.1 manpage
This is likely _not_ the proper way to do this. Further research (and
perhaps a bit of fiddling) is necessary. However, this kludge may
suffice for your purposes.
Ultimately, you should put your manpage into the proper subdirectory.
Again, on Slackware 7.0, that would be /usr/man/man1

Where did you get the binary? You can probably get the source from
the same place (looks like file isn't released under the GPL, so
there's no guarantee that the source it available from the same place
as the binary). If you're running Debian, you can get the source with
`apt-get source file'. I expect that there's an SRPM somewhere too,
or you could get the source from Debian (e.g., at

I've run e2fsk twice and used the -f. There were about 8 or so files with

to set the numlock status on boot up.
Cheers,
Pete.

I tried that on RH6.2, and it didn't word there either. I
suspected that man was expecting to find the standard set of
subdirectories but didn't persue that avenue any further.

I should have noted that I've no idea how widespread this
behavior is. I think it's a farily recent feature because I
remember being quite surprised not that long ago when trying to
use less to look at a man page (I wanted to see the groff
source, and expected "less foo.1" to show me the source).

you can look at some mirror site in Japan, and download the Japanese
version.
However, the redhat 7.1 seemingly have several languages available at
installation. When you deselect the English language and click-select
the Japanese language, then after installation the main language is
Japanese.
I have no idea about Chinese; but have both Japanese and English Redhat
at home, on separate hard disks.
Good luck.

It works on my 2.4.2 machine, and alleviates the problem I originally
posted about. Thank you.
