Use the tulip driver.

no i don't - i use two straight cables of course.
while it basically works, it produces a lot of timeouts, so a 1M file
transfer takes about 5 minutes or more.

Subject: twisted pair problem using a hub
Date: 31 May 1999 10:51:33 +0200
do you have any hints for me concerning the following problem?
i have a small two-machine network at home, consisting of an
intel pc with linux kernel 2.0.36 with a 3com 3c905b ethernet card
and an old apple powermac 7200 running linuxPPC (kernel 2.2.4, pre-R5)
with its built in 10MBit ethernet.
When connecting them directly with a patch caple, everything runs
smoothly. Since i want to connect another machine, i recently bought
a samll 10 MBit Hub and now all the smoothness went away. As soon as
more than just a little traffic occurs (say a ftp file transfer of a
1MB file, no matter which direction) i get lots of frame collisions
(that may be acceptable) which result in 5 to 10 second delays in
which no network traffic can pass the ethernet at all ... :-(
The intel machine uses the most current 3com driver (as of two weeks ago):
"3c59x.c:v0.99H-WOL 2/24/99 Donald Becker".
I used the 3com dos utility to set the card to
10MBit 10Base-T, half-duplex, no PNP
I did not find any documentation on the PowerMac internal ethernet
and its linux driver
Do you have any idea, what to check, where to tweak, what to read, ...?
thanks in advance - Heiko ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (yes: its a real address)

/etc/profile is run for all user logins.
Individual startup files vary, depending on what shell you're using.
If you're using bash, a login shell will first look for ~/.bash_profile,
if not found, it then looks for ~/.bash_login, then ~/.profile
When logging out, it looks for ~/.bash_logout, usefull for clearing the
screen and/or other housekeeping chores.
A bash non-login shell will read ~/.bashrc if it exists, unless it is
invoked as sh instead of bash.
On my own system, I have .bash_profile, .bash_logout, and .bashrc all in
my /root directory, and they all work as advertized.
More details can be found in the bash man page.

Not really. What kernel version are you using? What distribution? What
pppd version? Show us the outputs of ifconfig and route on the Linux side.
Add the pppd debug option and post the PPP link negotiation messages,
in /var/log/debug here but it varies with the Linux distribution.
The files to which these messages are configured in /etc/syslog.conf,
e.g. this is the line for debug messages here:
*.=debug /var/log/debug
..
: Can anybody give an appropriate explanation ?
Perhaps with enough solid information...

Subject: backup to dat streamer with kdat
Date: Mon, 31 May 1999 17:59:39 +0200
hi,
I want to backup my hard drive to a dat tape streamer using kdat (kde).
I have SuSE 6.1 and kde 1.1 running. using kdat the backup always has to
be started manually.
my question: is there a possibility to add a line to /etc/crontab that
makes the backup start automatically. kdat is very handy to recover
files. it would be nice to automate the backup process by , if
neccessary, any other programm.
thanx
torsten

I got there at about 5 this morning!
What I don't understand is: although stopping people from logging in as root
is probably a security measure, why is it any more secure to let me log in
as a user and su?
Just a thought.

That path looks like the culprit. gotta put in the FULL path or perl
won't find it and it will error Apache. That results in an Apache
error being sent to you. Hope this helps.
