The original question - does the RSA license from RedHat Secure Server
apply to another web server? The RedHat web page says: "Single Server
Advanced Cryptography License from RSA Data Security". Not tied to a
particular web server, apparently. So, technically, it seems like it's
just an agreement with RSA (indirectly) that allows you to use their
algorithm.
I've sent some email and left voice mail at RedHat, just to confirm, but
they've been so pathetic in getting this simple question answered. From
the Linux 'leader'. Great.

Check out the WINSUCK machine! WINSUCK seems to require an encrypted password for
the printer which comes in clear form from samba. You should read
the samba docs concerning enryption and such stuff. There it is described
how to change the WINSUCK registry. After changing it the machine
should print (maybe you have to give a donation to Billy Boy first :)) ).

Ah, Mr. Defaultuser- are you so scared of what I might say back that you cannot even
give your own email address? I am not afraid to settle matters such as this outside of
a
newsgroup, but if you wish that it shall remain public then- so be it.

I am sorry about my post's attitude; however, the original poster (who is ACTUALLY A.
Feiner) had several EXTREMELY wrong 'points' to make about LiNUX and why he believed
that it sucked. I am sorry that my tone appeared arrogant; however, I did not mean to
offend, only to rectify an incorrect view. And yes, I was purposefully aggressive. You
have to be, today.

That is quite sad. I had many of the same problems, and if you would like then I
welcome
you to read every single one of my posts, to this group and others, about my problems
and how stupid I felt when they were occurring. Even now, I do not profess to be a
LiNUX
expert- only an enthusiast. And I agree with you, quite positively- the documentation
that comes with the OS itself is not very useful. However, it is not so difficult to
learn by experimentation, and to post detailed questions to the LiNUX newsgroups such
as
this one.
I read in an article in a local paper that "LiNUX is a voyage, not a destination." I
agree wholeheartedly with this; however, I'm enjoying the ride.

First off, I'm not Mr. Feiner- you have the names mixed up. Now, I have several
comments
that I might make as to your intelligence, for not reading the author of the post, but
I'll forget about that for the moment. Like I said in my previous post, my grandmother
USES LiNUX; she does not administer her system. See, that's one of the interesting
things about it; I can telnet into her system and fix any problems she might be having
without being there. And if she wants a new program, I can help her get it, by either
telling her where it is or by sending it to her myself if I have it. It is a simple
matter to remotely configure, make, and install it. She doesn't have to 'figure things
out on her own' as I put it; as a matter of fact, I have configured her machine to
automatically boot into INIT runlevel 5, or in common English terms, a graphical login
screen similar to that you might see on a windoze system. One small difference, though:
if you click 'Cancel' on this screen, it doesn't let you into the system. So there are
quite a few security flaws in almost all versions of windoze; if you would like to
argue
about that, be my guest- I won't take part in it, though. And although my grandmother
doesn't hack modelines, or sourcecode, she is not computer illiterate; she does know
her
way around the computer, and she has no problems with bringing up a terminal to enter
commands manually. Maybe she doesn't administer her own system; but she doesn't have
to,
and she has no problem with that.

I had the same motivation. Actually, I had a lesser one- I wanted to simply try
something new. And I liked it, a LOT. Now, if you don't see why then that is your own
matter, but I like it. My little sister likes it. My grandmother likes it. I am perhaps
a zealot; but once I got into the whole party, with LiNUX, I began to find things out
about M$ that I don't think anyone really likes or admires. Do you like a company that
can't handle competition, so they either 1) buy it out or 2) copy the product, slap the
'M$' name on it, and get people to try and like it? Believe me, as sick as it makes me,
it seems to work- look at Internet Explorer. IE3.0 was a decent browser, but by no
means
was it a match for Navigator. Then they pulled the whole deal of 'integrating' the
browser into their OS, and that was the most single lame and pathetic attempt I have
come across yet. M$ has a history of such things; if they can't beat a company, then
they simply will (and have) bought out the parent company, or bought the rights to the
program, or the rights to a certain library that the program might use... do you see
where this goes? I do not maniacally hate M$; however, I don't think that they're worth
my time. And in no way do I mean to make anyone who can't solve a problem feel like I
think that they are subhuman. I just don't think that someone such as A. Feiner should
go making derogatory posts on a subject on which he has not done his homework. And I do
my part, in the community- I help out those who ask, and I even do it in French if I
believe that it might help someone to understand how to fix a problem in their native
tongue.

I don't think that you are out of your mind; I do think that someone who makes a post,
about something that many people find dear and almost holy, and slams it for
nonexistant
reasons in a newsgroup devoted to that subject is definitely a little bit on the
moronic
side. Imagine a person walking into a Coca-Cola factory and saying to the management:
"I don't like your soda because it tastes funny. It's not what I'm used to and it
bubbles more than I would like it to. I don't like the color, either- it bothers me
that
it is not quite as dark as Pepsi."
Do you see where this is going? Maybe I was a bit harsh, but tell me whether or not
people would ridicule and laugh at such a person. Now, granted, I hope no one is that
dumb- but effectively, that is what Mr. Feiner HAS done. He came into our newsgroup,
insulted LiNUX with no support for his insults (no, LiNUX 'doesn't even have a serious
database'- wait, what's that? Can we say "Oracle"?), offered incredibly moronic advice
on 'how to make it better' and then has not returned and let us hear his wisdom again.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if that same person inside the Coca-Cola building had done
such a thing, he would have been laughed out of the building and never seen near it
again. And if you have not done your research, and you go to your job, and you make a
presentation that says "We should not use Coca-Cola because of these reasons" do you
not
think that perhaps some of your own peers might laugh? Maybe even make fun of you? I
think it would be awfully immature of them to do so, but who knows. Mr. Feiner had NO
valid points. I told him so, maybe a little more harshly than anyone might have liked,
but that was why I added the disclaimer. And if he liked M$'s trash so much, then let
him use it- if those were the worst arguments he could come up with against LiNUX, then
I have quite high hopes for the OS. However, if that is the only way that he wants to
see it, then we DON'T NEED HIM. I don't really care if you do decide that maybe
'arrogant' and 'smug' 'zealots' make the community smaller. I like LiNUX. I don't like
windoze. I voice my opinion, and when I see ignorance, I do my best to destroy it. I am
not quite as mature, maybe, as I want to be- I am, as one said, a teenager, but that
does in no way determine anything about me other than the fact that I am a teenager. I
am open to criticism- and unless you are too afraid, then go ahead and email me. If you
prefer, I will also reply here in the newsgroup, publicly, as well. I think that
idiots,
like Mr. Feiner, should not be allowed to use computers, personally- but that's my
opinion.

Hello out there.
Sorry if this question have been asked already or often. I am running RedHat
v5.1 and I am trying to set it up to print to a Lexmark Optra C printer. The
printer is PostScript and it has an ethernet card with an IP number. All the
Mac and Windows computers print directly to the IP and I want to try this to
Linux. I looked at the Printing Howto, but found it too confusing. Any help or
pointers on how to do this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

It works. Thanks you very much.
But I still don't understand why I must add ip address in my
/etc/hosts?
If my network is connectted to the Internet, then it is impossible
to add every hostname to my /etc/hosts file. How to solve this
problem?

The packet sniffer that comes with NT won't sniff anything but packets
directed at that server (nonpromiscuous?), which turned me off. It is a
nice piece of software though. SMS Server I believe comes with the full
version (promiscuous?).
If you're looking for a quick packet sniffer, tcpdump is excellent. I run
it on Linux, and in my old job, I generated
a version with added support for SMB which was awesome for troubleshooting
problems.
tcpdump is free of course.

I have a full-duplex switch. What indicates to you that it has anything to do

In any case, does this say anything really bad about the connection or is it
OK?

Subject: ftape-4.02 and Iomega Ditto Max
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 23:30:46 GMT
I am trying to get a Ditto Max to work under Linux. The tape drive is
connected to the iomega 4Mb/S PNP tape controller (PnP device). For some
reason I cannot get ftape to work with the device. Here is how I setup my
isapnp to support the tape controller:
/etc/isapnp.conf:
(CONFIGURE IOM0040/-1 (LD 0
(IO 0 (BASE 0x0210))
(INT 0 (IRQ 6 (MODE +E)))
(DMA 0 (CHANNEL 0))
(ACT Y)
))
I am unsure how to edit ftape-4.02/MCONFIG under the tape hardware section.
It does not mention the tape controller that comes with the Ditto Max. I
tried both setting FDC_DEV=1 and then I tried 82078_DEV=1, making sure the
addresses/irq's matched. Here is my output upon running ./modules/. insert:
Initialization of ftape-internal failed
Can't locate module parport
Initialization of trakker failed
Initialization of bpck-fdc failed
and here is the output of lsmod after I run the script:
[root@backup modules]# lsmod
Module: #pages: Used by:
zft-compressor 4 0
zftape 20 [zft-compressor] 0
ftape 34 [zft-compressor zftape] 0
nkfs 3 2
If I run listtape:
[root@backup ftape-4.02]# /usr/local/bin/listtape
ftmt: /dev/ntape: No such file or directory
No cartridge present.
What the heck should I do? I am totally confused. ftape obviously supports
the hardware (it even came with a sample isapnp.conf for the 4mb controller
card), but I can't figure out how to configure it via MCONFIG. Perhaps I am
missing something entirely? Any help would be greatly apprecitated.
