Has anyone had any problems compiling SAINT on a 6.0 stock kernel?
I'm getting the following errors with make linux:

Subject: pppd problems??? I think
Date: Sat, 18 Sep 1999 01:37:50 GMT
Fairly new at Linux, I tried to get a dialup connection working. I was
successfull at connecting with my other pc through my ethernet but I am
triing to dial in with my ethernet offline.(For Now)
I followed the PPP- HowTO and another guide from Dr.Jobbs Vault called
linux-ppp.html almost to a T, only changing what I need for my system,
but here is my problem.
I am running Pent 100, Win95/NT4/Linux Slackware Kernel 2.0.0
Supra 33.6 I pnp irq 10, com3
My links for cua2 and modem and ttyS2 are all in sync
Logged in as Root:
I dial in with Minicom, authenticate manually, select ppp at my isp's
menu and then I get the garbage--Good so far.(I get a message to the
sense that I am connected using an unumbered Interface: sorry it is
vague, I had to reboot to Windoze to send this post)
I then exit minicom without resetting(I've also started another tty
session without exiting to peek at the happenings).
/etc/resolv.conf has these lines
search sympatico.ca
domain sympatico.ca
nameserver 204.101.251.1
/etc/ppp/options has these lines
0.0.0.0: //I have dynamic IP
/dev/ttyS2 // Also tried with cua2 and /modem
lock
crtscts
defaultroute
asyncmap
mtu 576
mru 576
I then type
pppd
I get nothing back, no errors.
If I type ifconfig, it only tells me that I have a 'lo' device, no
'ppp0' and no eth0(since it is not loaded)
the route command only gives me the loopback settings as well.
Obviously, I get no ping, can't ftp, and after a few seconds, my modem
hangs up.
If I left minicom open(not all the time), I get the no carrier message.
As I am still green in learning to use Linux, I was hoping to get an
answer or a pointer in the right direction. Worst comes to worst, I
will put redhat on but only as a last resort. I want to learn how to
get what I have now to work.(Because I know it is tougher)
TIA

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
We are trying to configure a cluster of Linux nodes, loosely based on
the RH6 dist. When trying to run our parallel (Lam MPI v6.2) jobs we
are getting a "kernel (bind): Permission denied" failure. This is
really puzzling, as our previous cluster never had this sort of
problem, but it would appear that when Lam needs a socket for the
inter-processor communications the kernel something is failing. Since
AFAIK Lam uses standard TCP/IP, and this works fine on all the nodes,
I'm stuck. A clue on how to debug, and find out exactly what's wrong,
would help. Sorry if my description of the problem is a little vague.

You are incorrect. It has nothing to do with /etc/shells. You need to edit
/etc/securetty to enable root on a pty. You can only login to root on the
terminals in /etc/securetty.

Subject: Can't get ADSL to work with DEC 21143 NIC
Date: Fri, 17 Sep 1999 21:09:09 -0500
I have installed mandrake 6 and it sees my NIC as a 21040 digital card (I
assume that that is ok, it wont let me change the card #) and have set up
the IP's and gateways and server names and all that, but it wont connect to
the internet nor will it even see the other comp I have hooked to the hub.
It all works perfectly under win98. I had a guy from my ISP that runs a
linux box at home as a server go through the settings with me and he says it
should be working. Great. Anyone have any ideas? I admit , I am a newbie at
this and am trying not to get discouraged enough to give up this operating
system. From what I hear, it is real good after you get past the install
process. Thanks for all your help.
If replying by e-mail, plz remove REMOVETHIS from my addy. Thanks.

When I went to get ppp-2.3.9, I found that ppp-2.3.10 had just been
posted todat, so I grabbed the rpm and installed it.
I still have the stalls and lags, and 4 frameing errors have shown up
since going back online with this newer version. I had some of those
before also. But, I see in the log, that it now has a new error.
What is char-major-108? It says can't find it.

When I try to run some java programs I get:
"Font specified in font.properties not found [-urw-itc

I get the same result when logged in from Windows.
Any ideas?
Can I alias the font somehow? If so, what is te exect name of the font to
alias from?
Maybe I can get the desired font from somewhere? In that case, how do i
install them?

I have a Cnet pro120 (c) card, and I noticed there are articles in
this newsgroup report having difficulty with this card in linux. By
reading the answers to those articles, I finally managed to make the
card working. The following two steps works for me.
1) assign a IRQ to the card in BIOS.
2) get the most recent tulip driver from the following site.
version 0.91 works for me.

Use SSH to log in on the remote machine before running linuxconf. SSH
transparently sets X up so that the windowing traffic is carried over the
encrypted channel.

Both the loopback and eth0 works. eht0 is not compiled as module. I dont know
how it is with the loopback. I have never touched anything about it.
here is the proof
$ /sbin/ifconfig

Definitely check to be sure everything in your init string does what you
think. I have an external Eicon Diva isdn t/a and several of the more
"standard" AT commands are non-standard. Example:. they changed reset from
ATZ to AT>Z ...

You won't delete the file until *all* the hard links to it are deleted.

There are various causes, bad flow control, bad modem initialization,
bad cables, an IDE drive that turns interrupts off for too long during
disk IO, and badly implemented PPP at the ISP to name a few common ones.

Based on your previous posts I must disagree. You should try disabling
all CCP compression with the pppd option noccp, as I previously suggested.
You might try using the pppd option asyncmap a0000 too, it cures some
problems that might be caused by flow control or bad PPP implementation
at the ISP. I've even seen it cure a frame error problem between two
Linux boxes.
If this doesn't help then you should consider opening a dialog by
posting the log for us to see if anything significant did happen.
The CCP algorithm that was negotiated in a previous post was deflate 24
which is a bogus deflate option number and the one that is most likely
to cause trouble.
