In the US POWs were treated extremely well. Many who were behaving well
were permitted to work as day laborers in nearby agriculture. There are
many anecdotal stories about the farmer calling up the camp saying that he
and the POW were working pretty late in the fields and could the Army let
the POW stay for dinner and spend the night at the farm to get an early
start on work in the morning. Local history gives some support to such
stories. My area of southern California has some vineyards and Italian
POWs were allowed to work there. Immediately after the end of the war some
of the former POWs immediately returned to the US and married local girls.
I once had a history class in school where an elderly gentlemen was also
enrolled. It turned out he was a waste gunner on a bomber that was shot up
over Polesti (sp?). They eventually were forced down and captured. He says
that they were beaten up a little during initial interrogation but after
that they were treated OK. Towards the end of the war he said there were
constant food shortages and there was an attempt to march POWs from
various camps to a common location. They had no supplies, few were
delivered during the march, and their guards were as hungry as they were.
I believe there may have been very hungry POWs in Allied custody in
Europe, but that was not intentional as claimed by the original poster.
There were incredible food shortages in many areas, supply lines were
thin, it was difficult to predict where hundreds of thousands of POWs
would be taken, ... It takes time to organize and equip for the care and
feeding of such large numbers, especially when they had no supplies of
their own.

Dear All,
I am a newbie of Linux. I want to setup a Linux Server for accessing by

But how to configure Win98 indeed? Anyone can tell me the whole process of

Subject: Non-typical firewall IP interfaces numbers
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 21:52:32 GMT
I would like to insert a firewall into a present ethernet network
without necessity to change any network/gateway IP numbers on the
network computers.
Present situation:
148.81.22.0 148.81.22.254
------------- ---------
|local network|------------ | gateway |
------------- ---------
After inserting the firewall:
148.81.22.0 148.81.22.254 148.81.2.253 148.81.22.254
------------- eth0 ---------- eth1 --------
|local network|-------------| firewall | -----------------| gateway |
------------- ---------- ---------
Firewall should act as the gateway for local network computers and as
local computers for the gateway.
I read Firewall, NET-3 and other relevant HOWTOs and haven't found
such configuration. Usually, firewall has different network numbers on
different network interfaces. I wanted to configure the firewall this
way because void (non filtering) firewall would be totally transparent
in this configuration and in case of any break-down of the firewall
computer I would be able just to connect the cables and return to the
present situation.
I also read (and tried the hints from) Bridge+Firewall Mini HOWTO but it
doesn't work either.
Is it possible to configure the firewall behaving this way using
standard Linux kernel and utility programs?

Subject: KDE vagy X problema
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 21:16:29 +0200
Sziasztok!
Van egy problemam, amivel mar regota kuszkodok.
SuSE 6.1-et hasznalok, KDE 1.1-el.
A jelenseg az, hogy mikor a KDE-t hasznalom (lehet, hogy altalanos X
problema), akkor neha egyszeruen megall az elet. A pointert tudom
mozgatni, a vrtualis kepernyo is mozog, az alkalmazasok futnak tovabb,
csak megszunik minden interakcio koztem es a felulet kozott (pl. az MP3
szol tovabb, de a kijelzo megmerevedik, mint minden mas). Olyan mintha a
'talca' csak egy kep volna. Innen az a megoldas, hogy
ctrl-alt-backspace-el ujrainditok mindent, de ilyenkor persze elveszitem
a munkam egy reszet, meg a beallitasaimat. Raadasul mindig akkor
kovetkezik be, ha valakinek megmutatom, hogy milyen jo kis felulete van
mar a Linux-nak :-).
Eloszor azt hittem, hogy a video kartyam IRQ konfliktol valamivel. Erre
azert gondoltam, mert egyszer az OSS isntallalasa kozben kaptan egy
ilyen uzenetet:
----
You appear to have a graphics card based on Nvidia Riva128 chip.
It's a known problem that this chip can't share it's IRQ
with any other device when X is being used (this is nothing OSS
related).
Unfortunately Riva128 appears to share it's IRQ with some other
device(s)
in your system.
Please use BIOS PCI/PnP setup to allocate a private IRQ for Riva128.
In your case the conflict is between Riva128 and a _NON_ sound
device.
This means that the conflict should NOT affect functionality of OSS.
However you may experience system lockups while starting X11.
The following IRQ number(s) appear to be shared with Riva128: 11
----
Atallitottam a video IRQ-t 9-re, majd 5-re. Ez egy darabig jo volt, de
most upgradeltem 1.1-rol 1.1.1-re es minden kezdodott elorol az 5-os
IRQ-n is.
Elso kerdes, hogyan lehet a KDE-t vagy az X-et ugy resettelni, hogy nem
lepek ki a sessionbol?
Masodik, hogy mi okozhatja ezt egyaltalaban? Ez nagyon zavaro es kezdi
megkeseriteni a munkam.

I stated this before somewhere, For some reason Linux doesnt know what to do with
the DNS entries, Just
find out what they are and put them in manually, DHCP will work for the rest.
Type netconf at the console and put them in the DNS entries, when you click on it,
it will say Error. invaild something or other in etc/resolv.conf. Just put in the
DNS entries. I use Mediaone. I live in the Boston Area, my DNS servers are
24.128.232.6, 24.128.16.6, 24.128.81.1 You only need one to make it work. The
other 2 are for backup. I dont see why you couldnt use these if you do not know
yours. But it might take longer to get a query back depending on where you are.
Just my 2 cents....

That is easily said, but it happens to be false. C++ templates
can express useful ideas that are impossible in "an ML-style

Perhaps some future language will have the strengths of C++ and ML.

You can download Linux BBS software from http://bbs.ipass.net/ Probably
the easiest way would be to set up a standard Shell dialup which automatically
launches the BBS login app as the login program.
There's some other apps around, but in the few minutes I had to mess
around with BBSs on Linux, Falken (the ipass software) was the easiest
software package to setup and get working.

VMWare is definitely the best solution I've seen... I love it.
When it joins forces with a cool machine, Red Hat 6.0, and Gnome,

You need to create a file called quota.user in /. ie:
# touch /quota.user
You'll probably want to set the permissions on it so that only root can
view it. That's why it's complaining about "no such file or directory"

Add "anonymous" to /etc/ftpusers... You'll see the syntax of the file

More appropriately:
OPTION A:
148.81.22.1-251 148.81.22.252 148.81.2.253 148.81.22.254
------------- eth0 ---------- eth1 --------
|local network|-------------| firewall | -----------------| gateway |
------------- ---------- ---------
- requires you to change default gateway
Or
OPTION B:
148.81.22.3-253 148.81.22.254 148.81.2.2 148.81.22.1
------------- eth0 ---------- eth1 --------
|local network|-------------| firewall | -----------------| gateway |
------------- ---------- ---------
Either way, you lose two two ip addresses.
Assuming you pick OPTION B, then the firewall requires the following
routing table entries:
route add -net 148.81.22.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
route add -host 148.82.22.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth1
route add default gw 148.81.22.1
Machines on the local network require the following routing table
entries:
route add -net 148.81.22.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 eth0
* route add -host 148.81.22.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 148.81.22.254
* route add -host 148.82.22.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 148.82.22.254
route add default gw 148.81.22.254
The two routes marked with * are only required if you want machines on
your local network to access those two ip addresses specifically. You
don't need them for proper operation of your network and default routing.

I wouldn't be too concerned about "break-down" of the firewall.
Hope this helps,

Hi Rich,
Nope, although I did try installing them once to see if I could force it to
update an include the latest. I've also tried manually updating using
/sbin/route all to no avail (except for when I remove all the interfaces and
then add them back again, including the routes).
Regards,
Rick.

Well, I have only been messing with Samba for a short time, but in some
cases, it does not like mixed-case passwords... A very annoying little
glitch that I'm still trying to figure out. I did pick up a pretty decent
book - "Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" published by Sams publishing.

Subject: PPP connect - pppd: bad local IP address 127.0.0.1
Date: Thu, 01 Jul 1999 23:30:45 GMT
I have the Red Hat Linux Unleashed book that tells how to set up a PPP
connection. I followed all the directions, however I cannot get it to
work. I am using the command:
pppd connect "chat -f chatfile" /dev/cua2 -detach crtscts modem 127.0.0.1:
When I run this I get:
pppd: bad local IP address 127.0.0.1
The modem will dial and try to connect if I leave the 127.0.0.1: part out,
but with that part it does nothing but give the above error. I ran
ifconfig and checked the hosts file and that IP address is shown in both.
Can someone help me determine why it does not accept this IP address?
