Isn't the & an error? I mean, it is legal, and should not matter, but
it makes no sense.
Perhaps this is what you are trying to say?

You need to tell apache what files types are considered cgi-scripts. You can do
this via the srm.conf file by adding a line:
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
to run any script with a cgi extension. Since your script has a .gcl extension,
you should have a line that says
AddHandler cgi-script .gcl
in order to execute that script.

We have engineering colleges at all major universities.
The discipline of engineering has an honorable heritage and
tradition, and differs radically from that of science.

Turing completeness is a matter of science, not engineering.
Postscript code would theoretically be sufficient to operate an
Airbus, but I wouldn't want to fly in one.

(They are not untyped, they are dynamically typed.)
Again, anything is a matter of preference when the consequences

If you ignore compiler warnings, how can you be helped?
Sound engineering shops have coding standards for C++,
so that casts must be approved by senior engineers. Casts in
C++ are needed far less often than in C. When they are needed,
nothing else will do. Languages that don't allow casts at all
impede engineering as much as those which toss them in freely.

You are right : hubs are OS independent. The problem cannot lie
with the hub. BTW, what do the LEDs on the NICs say when running
Linux (not the LEDs on the hub) ?
Also, you could try the following :
- disable any autonegotiation/autosense stuff on your NICs.
Usually a small DOS program is provided to change the
config of the NIC and save the settings to its EPROM.
- Also, do NOT set up your NICs for full-duplex.
- ping 255.255.255.255 (both from Win as from Linux)
- add an arp entry *manually* to your arp cache in Linux.
Check 'man arp'. Create an entry with the IP address of
your winbox and its Ethernet address. This is also possible
in Win, using the `arp -s' command.
Maybe for some bizarre reason either NIC isn't listening for
broadcast frames and won't see arp requests (just a thought).
>Has anyone had driver problems with the

Sorry, don't know about the 3Com.
What's the -15 (just curious) ?
What does your kernel say about the 3Com ? Use
'dmesg | less' to read the kernel messages.

Subject: Making IMAP or POP-3 work
Date: Thu, 1 Jul 1999 23:58:33 -0700
Hi,
I have in my inetd.conf (on a Linux machine), the following lines
uncommented (to enable an IMAP or POP-3 server).
pop-3 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd ipop3d
imap stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd imapd
Users using netscape to read their mail on this linux machine could see
their inbox, initially. I happen to use a different imapd (in
/usr/sbin/imapd) that I got from a friend so that the rest of the folders
of mail (other than inbox) could be read. But it didn't work at all. When
I began using the old imapd again, what worked earlier (reading inbox)
didn't work this time. Netscape is able to initially connect to the
machine but the connection is being closed by the Linux machine.
When I try to use 'telnet <machinename> imap', it says connected to
<machinename> but after a min show connection closed by foreign host.
My Questions:
1) Why does this happen and how can it be fixed ?
2) How can make the rest of the folders (which are in /home/<user>/mail)
be visible to the netscape email reader. The inbox is stored in
/var/spool/mail/<user> which the netscape e-mail user can see.
I would appreciate any help in this regard. Please e-mail me (whether or
not you post any solution to this newsgroup)
Thanks,
Sriram

If by "torchered" you mean forced to tour the concentration camps, then
I will agree. Otherwise, this is another vicious attack with no
foundation in truth. Historical fact my tired ass!

Thanks for the response Jonathan.
I have debugging on and I'm checking my /var/log/messages file, but I have
no idea how to get that info into my Win98 that I have to run to get online
so I can share it with you. Basically, I think I need to modify my
/etc/ppp/options file properly. I make the serial connection, and I don't
think I'm sending my PAP info. Then the remote server disconnects me. I'll
see If I can somehow get that info to you on what's happening.
Here's something nice that I recieved from my ISP, take a look,
Dear Nino,
Unfortunately we are unable to provide you with the information that
you requested. Our Network Engineers have indicated that this information
is not to be given out due to security concerns.
I am sorry that I could not have been of more assistance with this
matter.
Thank You,

What were the previous levels?
Did you recompile smbmount along with Samba? That is done with 'sh
Configure --with-smbmount' in your samba source directory. There is some
more on this in 4.14.2 on my web-page but my solutions there do not
appear to fit your problem.

Subject: Good docs for PGP/Linux?
Date: Fri, 2 Jul 1999 09:41:20 +0100
I have installed PGP 5.0i on my RedHat 5.2 box - I find that I am in need of
a decent "User's guide" specific to the Linux version (or at least to the
Unix versions in general), similar to that available for the Windows
95/98/NT versions, since there seem to be rather a lot of undocumented
command line parameters. I have a feeling that these parameters might do
what I have been trying to sort out for a while.
Any suggestions? Thanks ...
Dave.
