Lsof hasn't used System.map since the /dev/kmem-based version of lsof
was retired at revision 4.52.  Even before that lsof didn't use
System.map when its Configure script sensed /proc could deliver (almost
all) the necessary information.

    No.  But I will post as Steve C. Lamb and get away with it.  Namely
because that is my name.  It is the name I always post as except in forums
where aliases and handles are generally accepted.  In such places the name
chances whereas the munged email does not.  I am quite easy to spot and do not
hide my identity.

Quite frankly, it doesn't affect you in the slightest.

    Amazing that I am not posting anonymously.  Any live person with 30
seconds and as much in IQ can contact me.  Here's a BIG hint, my ICQ number is
in plain sight in my signature.  Now that was hard, wasn't it?

    That's fine.  If people are so stuffy that they don't want to follow-up to
a question because of something in the header chances are I don't want their
help in the first place.

    Imagine that, my legal name is Steve C. Lamb.  My from line lists my own
name.  As for not wanting to help me, see above.

>filtered out. 

    Oh, I'm well aware that spam can be filtered out.  In fact, I know how to
effectively filter it out.  On the other hand stating that spam can easily be
filtered out displays sheer annoying ignorance that by the time the filtering
is done the damage is already done.  I am well aware of my bandwidth usage and
costs associated with it and I'd prefer not to edge those up with spam.  That
is /MY/ choice, not yours.

>(g) it sets a bad example for others, like smoking on the metro.  I'll leave

    I think it sets a good example.  The less effective spam is, the better
off we all are.  

    If people want an answer in email, they can leave proper instructions with
their question.  Otherwise all that really matters in all cases above is that
the identifier is consistent.  Considering I've left my from and reply-to
headers munged the same way for three years, the fact that my email can be
derived from the headers, the fact that I am easily accessible on ICQ or
through the web-to-ICQ interface on Mirabilis' site means I'm not hiding
anything except for one thing, my current email from programs that actively
cull them from newsgroups.  Don't like it, tough, but them's the breaks, jack.
Calling me an idiot and drumming up bogus reasons won't change the basic
facts.

Not that you get it.

    No.  Nor do I expect emails for every message nor do I want emails for

I impossible to contact.

    I never said overt, I said it could be deduced.  Just as you got it from

    Yup.  Sad state of affair that one must munge but if there is "grief"

seek some serious help.  A minor annoyance, maybe, but grief?  No.

    I am using it.  See, if you were capable of actually thought you would
understand that my above paragraph means that I don't need email replies
because I score any article with references to articles I've written up.  In
that manner I don't miss replies to any queries I have posted.

    Now, considering the speed with which I have been responding to your
insult filled tripe one can surmise that I am indeed using my score file in
such a manner since I have yet to miss a posting of yours that contains a
reference to one of mine.  Fancy that.

    Oh, but of course you meant killfiling.  What purpose would killing
responses to my questions be?  Come now, you need to bone up on those critical

I am guessing that BIND 9.x is multi threaded and this is 'normal'. Also
you probably have named listening on multip interfaces. By default I
believe it will listen on every interface it can, including lo.

Possibly the problem is linuxconf not dealing with correctly with some
aspect of this. I get this 

[root@feenix tmp]# service named status
rndc: connect: connection refused

which I have no idea why, but named seems to start and run OK, although
it complains some during boot.

Can your 2000 box see the Linux box at the network layer (ping the IP address)?

Also, what happens if the ping the hostname of the linux box?  If it has
connectivity, it should still be able to respond to the netbios broadcast
request.  If 2000 does not see a host belonging to a specific workgroup, it may
have trouble navigating it net neighbourhood.

New?  You realize that UNIX was around before DOS, right?  The

Yep.  Learn how to write shell scripts, and learn how to test
them.  Also learn how to boot you system to single user
runlevel, or from a rescue disk, *before* you start screwing
with boot scripts.  Because while it is exactly true that the
syntax needs to be correct, it is also true that the results
need to be valid too (running the wrong program is just as bad
as mispelling the name of the right one!), and worst of all...
even the best of system admins makes a mistake now and then.

Hence be prepared to recover from your mistakes.

You might also consider a cheap second computer that is used
just to play with such things as learning systems admin.

In our xinetd.conf everything seems to be okay - What are some possible or likely 
candidates for mistakes in this file? We CAN telnet into the box from itself, this is 
why I think telnetd is installed and running. How can I check if it is running or not?

No, both machines are on the LAN behind the firewall. Is it possible RedHat is setting 
up its own firewall and not allowing telnet access from a remote computer?

The problem is in thinking those preferences take preference over
other peoples'. That's inconsideration - and explains perhaps where
you're coming from. I wonder what your arguments on guns and
libertarianism would be, or perhaps I don't.

OK, pax!  I don't care enough to argue this.  Your arguments are
reasonable.  The difference in strategy and attitude seems to derive from
different value systems, and while I don't agree with yours, it doesn't
seem unsustainable to me, just unlikable.

I really don't know enough about ICQ to distinguish it from any other
3-letter acronym.  Isn't it a radio-ham call? Or is it something like
IRC? Is it your stock market ticker-tape id? I'd look it up in a
dictionary if I were interested ... honest!

That is a real argument, though it seems to me to be heavily
exaggerated. I must receive upwards of 200 external mails a day, and I doubt 
that more that 2 or 3 are spam. Looking ... I think I got 4 today, one

Not reading it renders it ineffective. Not leting other people mail you
