It sounds like the path for root is different than the path for users.
Often, the path for root does not include the current working directory
for security reasons.

I see you're on the @home network. Their netmask is 255.255.254.0 It is
on my end anyway.
In your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file, add or change
the line for the netmask to:
NETMASK=255.255.254.0
This should get rid of the error for you.

Read NET-3-HOWTO. It sounds like the Win98 and Linux boxes do not agree
about which network they are on. The netmask on both Win98 and Linux
must be the same (for example, 255.255.255.0) and the IP address in the
netmask must be in the same on both computers (i.e. 192.168.1.XXX).

You might want to check around a bit. I am getting ADSL using GTE to move
bits but with an independent ISP. The service level I signed for (Silver)
is $90 per month from GTE and $89.95 per month from the indie (both incluse
local loop charges) Plus I get a fixed IP and a shell account!
I checked a few of the participating ISPs and most are charging way too
much but I didn't find _any_ that charge twice what GTE is charging for
residential service. About the worst were Surf City and Impulse Internet
Services who want $135.00 and $115.00 respectively. OTOH, Netquest
(http://www.netquest.net/dsl.html) and Flashcom
(http://www.flashcom.com/pricing2.html) were much more reasonable at $89.95
and $85 respectively.

I am about to set up an old 586 to run Linux and I would like to do it without
a monitor. How does one go about doing this? Boot up and remove the monitor?
Hot swapping stuff is not my idea of doing things right but I saw an ace Unix
sytem admin do just that with monitors on Unix boxes without any problem. Is
this the way it's done? Don't mind leaving a $9 keyboard and mouse on it but a
monitor is somewhat more precious.
>telnet client
I have used the telnet client called EasyTerm from
http://www.arachnoid.com/ and the express purpose for which I used it was
BitchX. Look under programming resouces on the navigation frame on the left of
the page.
I would like to complement the users of this group on the highly civil and
useful threads that I am reading. IMHO, one of the problems with Linux has
been the mean spirited nature of the Linux usenet groups. Although, I
personally have found some very kind individuals to assist me on several
occasions. Thanks for any assistance.

I don't think you can loop in chat, or do if...else stuff,
but you could try something along the lines of....
#!/bin/bash
/usr/sbin/chat .... \
'ABORT' 'BUSY'\
'ABORT' 'ERROR'\
'ABORT' 'NO CARRIER'\
'ABORT' 'NO DIALTONE'\
'' 'AT#Z'\
'OK' 'ATD01234-56789'\
'CONNECT' ''
[ $? -eq 0 ] || exit 1
for i in 1 2 3 ; do
/usr/sbin/chat ....\
'ABORT' 'Invalid Login'\
'ABORT' 'Login incorrect'\
'ABORT' 'Bad Password'\
'ogin:--ogin:--ogin:' 'my_username'\
'word:--word:--word:' 'my_password'\
'otocol:--otocol:--otocol:' 'ppp'\
'TIMEOUT' '5'\
'~--' ''
EXITCOD=$?
if [ $EXITCOD -eq 0 -o $i -eq 3 ] ; then
# Either OK, or three strikes and were out
break
elif [ $EXITCOD -eq 6 ] ; then
# got a Bad Password, loop again
continue
else
# Ermmm... what should we do on other errors ?
fi
done
exit $EXITCOD
With your dodgy TA, that script, and a strong wind behind you,
it might just work :)

If the default route is already added, then pppd will not
replace it. So if you want to make ppp0 the default route,
you shuould be sure that there is no default route.

This script must be a chat script, not a pppd command as is
used in a normal ppp conncection without diald.

In a normal operation this is not needed, because diald will
disconnect ppp when link becomes idle.

I think it works well, if you correct your diald.conf as
I described above, i.e. make pppd be started by diald,
not by ppp-on script.

You can mount HP/UX drives using NFS. You must have NSF turned on on the
HP box and add an entry for the filesystem you want to mount on Linux in
the /etc/export file. (This should be configurable using SAM on the
HP.)
On the Linux box you want to mount the drive as normal under a mount
point. If the HP box is always on, you can add an entry in the
/etc/fstab file to reconnect the NSF drive everytime you reboot and use
the automounter program. Check out the mount man page for details.

Your ISP must support this (and probably won't want to without you paying
a higher fee). EQL I'm told works with Livingston (Lucent?) Portmasters,
but you will probably be SOL.

and the way to fix that (in case the original poster didn't figure it out)
is to preface the script or executable with ./, as in

Might be what's biting me, then. I forgot to mention that I'm using
RH5.2 (Macmillan distribution). So you back-leveled to 0.4? Have to go
find out how to do that...
I just mounted the 2nd RH5.2 CDROM with the source RPMs and am trying to
figure out the sequence of steps to get from the mounted CD to "make
install". I got the mt-st sources and patches into
/usr/src/redhat/SOURCES and a file in /usr/src/redhat/SPECS. I figure
I'm supposed to gunzip the source and patch it, but the stuff in the
spec file looks like there's supposed to be some way to automate this.
What's my next step?
I'll mention that I just downloaded, patched, and built diald, so I know
how to do that. It's just the unpacking and installing of an RPM that
I'm clueless on. I think it's the source vs. binary thing that's
confusing me. The RPM chapter in the RH Installation Guide seems to
assume I'm installing a binary RPM.
I'm going to look at Maximum RPM on CDROM 3, but meanwhile maybe someone
will recognize my mental block and let me know what I'm missing here.
