Subject: TN3270/HLLAPI
Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 23:14:01 GMT
Greetings,
I have been using a TN3270/HLLAPI software product called CLEO under SCO Unix
for a couple of years, feeding up legacy mainframe data via the
World-Wide-Web.
I've been hoping to see some commercial or open-source TN3270/HLLAPI support
emerge for the Linux platform, but a search of Dejanews *still* shows only
three outdated entries on the subject from 1996-97.
Is there really no interest in HLLAPI on Linux out there? I realize that
"screen scraping" is not the most glamorous approach to front-ending CICS
applications, but I was really hoping to be liberated from SCO for the
greener pastures of Linux by now.
Any pointers to Linux software that would support a 3270 API or patch into the
CICS data stream would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
-- Dan

Because something else is already using port 80... most likely is that
Apache has already started (ie - it's part of the init processes on your
machine. Do a ps -aux | grep httpd and you'll see if it's running).

Hello everybody,
I'm a linux newbie and I don't understand why my apache server don't want to
execute any cgi or perl file placed in the cgi-bin directory.
I read the Apache server manual and I did all the changes to my access.conf
and srm.conf files.
It seems that something's wrong with my Linux but I don't know what.
I will be extremely grateful if anybody could help me.

I see something here that causes me to wonder.... Why are you using a class
C netmask on a class A address? Is your class A network subnetted and split
to class C's?

There's another thing here in the routing table. The gateway address is
24.2.197.1, which would be OK for a class C net, but if your corporate LAN
is actually a class A, and 24.2.197.1 either doesn't exist or isn't the
gateway for the LAN you're on, you're not going to get a response.
Hope this helps.

Subject: Newbie:Ethernet setup
Date: Sun, 31 Jan 1999 23:29:32 GMT
I'm getting comfortable enough with SuSE Linux 5.3 (1 month and counting!) to
try setting up a home LAN. The problem is I have no idea where to begin. I
looked at the Ethernet HOWTO, and several other resources, but they all seem
to assume I know alot more than I do. I basically can't make heads nor tails
out of any of them. The SUSE installation manual isn't much better. I get to
the first step: "Check whether your card has been started correctly by typing
cat /proc/net/dev. There should be a line beginning with eth0."
Well there isn't. However, "modprobe eth0", followed by "dmesg |tail"
produces what looks like the proper settings. (I have an ISA 3Com 3c509 at
0x300 IRQ 10.) So is it set up or not? What do I do next? The SuSE manual
doesn't say what to do if I don't get the line they say I should. Then there
is stuff on IP addresses, Domain names, etc. I have no idea how critical any
of that stuff is if I'm just playing for now, with no chance of connecting to
the Internet, even accidentally (the modem isn't hooked to a phone line at
the moment). I have no idea whether I should choose Class A, B, or C for the
IP address. I'd like to get a *real* IP address eventually, but that's
probably at least 6 months away.
Direction to a resource for idiots would be much appreciated.

also your broadcast address is diff in the lower section... 24.1.197.255
in the top part it's 24.2.197.255 that could be hosing things up

I am experiencing almost the same ordeal with the 3ccfem656 card (I
don't know the difference between this card and the 556), except that I
cannot get the card to be recognized. Can you tell me which driver you

I have it using eth1 already. The reason I suggested using ipfwadm is
because I found that DHCP_REQUEST packets I was receiving from other
cable modem users on eth0 were getting responded to by the dhcpd
listening on eth1. I think this is because ipfwadm was set up to
masquerade and it was allowing these 0.0.0.0 broadcast packets through.
The only way I could stop my dhcpd from offering IP addresses to my
neighbours was to explicitly not forward bootps and bootpc packets
between the interfaces.
Maybe I'm missing something... ;)

Have a look in Apache's error_log file. That should tell you what's
happening.
Assuming you're writing perl scripts (or shell scripts, for that
matter), do they run from a command line and produce intelligible
results? Are the permission bits set correctly for the script (the
"x" bits need to be on - 755 is good for debugging; 511, if you're
paranoid, for production). Is the "#!" notation at the top of the
script pointing at the correct interpreter?
Just some ideas. Good luck.

Subject: DNEWS4 News Server Mthly Pointer to FAQ
Date: Mon, 01 Feb 1999 01:02:48 GMT
This message is a brief description of the DNEWS 4 news server
features and a pointer to the FAQ and binary areas.
DNEWS is a high performance NNTP News Server. It is suitable
for large and small ISP's and Corporate Intranets. DNEWS is
available for all common operating systems, installs easily and
is designed to run unattended.
Design :
Database : DNEWS incorporates a database specifically
designed for News, enabling DNEWs to handle full news feeds
more efficiently and faster. This is important as news volumes
continue to grow rapidly. DNEWS can provide significant
performance improvements particularly where resources are
limited.
Dynamic Sucking Feed Option: In addition to traditional news
feed options DNEWS also provides the unique dynamic feed
option, which for business and smaller sites delivers
enormous savings in Network bandwidth and diskspace.
By dynamically reflecting users reading habits the server
automatically only gets and maintains those news
groups that users actually want to read. In this way users
retains all the advantages of the full news feed while
enormous saving in network bandwidth and diskspace are
possible.
The process is completely automatic so there is no
ongoing administration .
News Reader Efficiency: The advanced design significantly improves
news server efficiency. On similar Hardware DNEWS will
typically support 2 times as many news readers per server
with the same fast interactive response time.
Scalability: Designed for high scalability DNEWS design will
handle 0-60 Gig news spools most efficiently. Can be
configured with 2-10 Multiple Server processes on single
server each handling 50-200 concurrent users.
DNEWS can be configured to take multiple full news feeds
and up to 16 dynamic suck feeds and can efficiently send
multiple full feeds with built-in Live feed technology.
Easy Installation and Management: Designed to run unattended
DNEWS is easy to install with virtually no ongoing management.
Key Features:
Easy Installation - totally configurable without recompiling.
Low Maintenance - designed to run unattended.
Support for Multiple IHAVE Feeds
Support for Multiple Dynamic Suck Feeds
Built in Live Feeds Technology for sending full news feeds to other
servers efficiently.
News to Web Gateway , for putting news onto web pages , with full
text searching .
New to Mail Gateways (both ways)
PGP authentication (optional)
Flexible Access and Security options for reading and posting.
Flexible Expire Options allowing intelligently response to number of
items and available diskspace.
Advanced 'SPAM' detection and filtering mechanisms.
Email confirmation of posts.
XOVER extensions implemented in software removing the need for a
separate ' XOVER' database
Streaming extensions are built in speeding up feed throughput
Full Documentation
Commercially supported
DNEWS is a not FREEWARE. Registration is free to state schools and
universities for non profit purposes.
