Thanks George,
Whats the suggestion if you have to administer a remote webserver? The
server is located in a different city and physical access is denied.
Do I just set up a user account with access to "most" things?

Subject: RedHat v6.0 & dhcp client ???
Date: Sun, 11 Jul 1999 21:00:32 -0500
[1] OK, first off, I'm a long time SlackWare user.
[2] I have successfully installed RedHat v6.0 onto a new partition.
[3] During install, if I tell networking to use DHCP, not bootp, not
none, then startup *always* fails at initializing eth0.
[4] If I tell install BOOTPROTO=none, give it the appropriate poop, like
IP address, then everything works OK.
[5] I had a similar problem in SlackWare, sometime back; but, I reverted
to an older DHCP, and everything worked OK.
[6] Now, however, is the time to make all code current -- even DHCP.
[7] Using an Edge v0.7 router between these systems and a MediaOne
cablemodem.
[8] This same box successfully multi-boots into win9x, win NT4,
SlackWare 3.x, all using that same Edge router setup.
[9] Have tried seeding /etc/hosts, /etc/resolv.conf, etc.; but, after
successfully initializing l0, dhcp *always* hangs at eth0!!!
[10] I have to admit, RedHat's system files, names and locations are
still foreign to me. Which files do what?
What am I missing???

So what? Please read what I wrote. I said that on Dec 11, 1941, the
United States declared war on Germany and Italy. I also wrote that in
the week surrounding that, various other countries also declared war on
Japan, Germany, and Italy.
Unless you're saying this is not true, your post is completely
orthogonal to mine; you seem to be saying I'm wrong about something I
didn't say in the first place (maybe you think I said the U.S. declared
against Germany/Italy first? But I didn't say that at all).

As did the Germans benefit from Ukrainian and Georgian resentment, until they
began treating the Ukrainians and Georgians et al as badly as the Soviets
had done (There was an active anti-soviet ukrainian resistance movement as
late as 1949.)

Subject: Re: X Terminal Under Linux - Where can I get the software?
Date: 12 Jul 1999 02:46:57 GMT
Short answer: the software is included.
Long answer:
Bear in mind that when discussing X-windows for some reason the terminology for
'client' and 'server' is reversed. If you're saying you want to see a graphical
interface on one computer that comes from another Linux/unix box on the
network, then that is the 'server' (I'm sure somewhere there's a reason why
they say it this way) So what you really need is an *X-server* on your client
machine, while the Linux box you want to get the info from has to be running
the *X-client* called 'xdm'. Simply put, you must insure that 'xdm' is in your
Linux init scripts to startup, and that you then must connect with a telnet
session from another box that has the X-server installed (I can't remember the
connect syntax, but the HOWTOs should make it clear)
It even works if you want to connect from a Windows system. I have X-winPro
(there is also X-win32) running on an NT box that lets me telnet in and start
an X-session on any of my Linux boxes.

Hello,
Try adding your win machine's ip address to the /etc/hosts file of you Linux
box.
I order to use name when you telnet from win98 machine you will need to add
entry for Linux box to the c:\windows\hosts file, or use DNS server which
has Linux box's ip in it's database.
As far as login remotely with root, it's disabled by default for security
reasons, but you can login with regular user and use 'su -' command to get
root permissions, or remove /etc/securetty file (NOT RECOMMENDED!!!).
Good luck!
