Here's what you do...
1) assign three new, non-superuser userids
2) add each of these userids to the root's group ('root')
3) ensure that the ownerships and permissions on the administration
tools are set so that the 'root' group is owner, and that the group
has proper authorities (i.e. rwx at the group level)
4) hand out the userids to the appropriate users
By virtue of the fact that these userids belong to the same group as
'root' does, and that the group permissions have been appropriately
set, these userids should be able to do 'root' work without being
logged on as the superuser.

This will probably tell you that sendmail does not like the hostname

That's not true for access servers. Dial-up access servers sometimes

False. You cannot run PPP without LCP. LCP does not negotiate IP
addresses.

There's no way to do that. You can't run pppd without LCP, nor would
you ever want to.

Yes, that's the origin of the printed text addresses. SLIP is a
different protocol, though. It was never transitioned to PPP. SLIP
is still used in some configurations. (PPP started out as more a
replacement for the babel of incompatible HDLC variations that each
router vendor once had than it was a better SLIP.)

I notice that you are installing on a laptop.
Most (? all) PCMCIA modems are "real" modems and should work with linux
You may need to buy one of these if your laptops internal modem is a winmodem

From: Z <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I wonder if any of you can help.
A friend of mine tried installing the above on a Gateway Solo
laptop (9300 I believe, 192 MB of RAM, PIII 700 Mhz, ATI
Mobility graphics card).
It all goes OK until the graphics card bit. No matter what he
specifies the probe part always reports an error and the dialog
box asking whether you can see this correctly is visible but not
properly, everything is askew.
He has tried a generic SVGA setting at low-res, stil the same.
I'm the one who persuaded him to try Linux after putting
Mandrake 7.0 on my DELL Inspiron without any probs so any help,
advice etc. would be much appreciated.

it says I need to pass kernel paramaters for this type of card. In redhat
6.0 I am able to autoprobe the 'extra settings' but not in RH 6.2. How can
I find out what these 'extra settings' are cause I really want to run 6.2

Hi,
Thankfully, a couple people have replied to my original post (below). Out
of laziness, I didn't type the right rpm name in the post - but I made
sure to type it in correctly when actually trying it. (I cd'ed to the RPM
directory on the cd then let bash complete the name with <tab>.)
This is what made me think I need to not be in the RPM directory when
quering rpm's. But then I tried going to another directory and it still
didn't work.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance,

Date: Tue, 18 Jul 2000 13:06:15 GMT
I don't know about SuSE, but with my RH 6.2 install I have this
hda - 17Gb
3Gb - primary Win 98
14 Gb - Extended
3Gb - Linux partition (contains a VMWare plain disk with a copy of the
'98 install)
3Gb - FAT32, Data
4Gb - FAT32, Program Files - shared with the Virtual Machine
4Gb - FAT32, Other Stuff
hdb - 4 Gb
1Gb - Primary ext2fs mounted under Linux as /record for burning cd's
etc
3Gb - Extended
2.8ish Gb - ext2fs mounted under Linux as /
- boot partition for Linux
128Mb - Swap
I use Powerquest BootMagic to do the multi boot.
A couple of weeks ago I reorganised the 3 FAT32 partitions and gave myself 2Gb
of space at in between Data & Programs.
I threw on an install of Corel Linux, just for a look.
Everything went fine. Corel configured LILO to boot from /hda MBR, it picked up
the other OS's. I simply booted back into Win98 DOS prompt, re-enabled
BootMagic, added the Corel install and away I went.
As far as destructuvely repartitioning your drive - don't if you can avoid it.
Spend the $ and get Partition Magic 5, it will save lots of heart ache.
Also be sure to read the install docs for and distro *very* carefully. There
are a couple that will completely wipe your hard drive if you select on of the
default, everything is configured, workstation type installs. Selecting
"Custom" is always best.

Just a guess--been a long time since I worked with RedHat--I'd look at
/etc/X11 and its subdirectories for symlinks that point back and forth
at each other.
Usually there are system default versions of Xsession and Xinitrc that
test for a ~/.xsession and branch accordingly. Look at the branches
that execute if ~/.xsession is found. You'll probably find an infinite
loop somewhere.

I wanted to get rid of both lilo and linux on a particular drive.
So I did lilo -u
(this didn't work because of a difference in time stamps?)
mm I've reinstalled and reinstalled linux over the top of itself many
times without uninstalling lilo first.
So I tried fdisk /mrb (via a dos bootdisk) and dos gave me :
invalid switch - /mrb

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I have had a similar problem from the beginning on my current laptop
(Panasonic Toughbook CF-45) and upgraded the pcmcia driver module. I have
never been able to get both ports to work, but after eliminating, rather
specifying, the scan irqs for the port in the file /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia was
able to get it working properly.
Hence, the message you are getting may not have to do with the irq used for
the serial port, hence 3, but the scan irq's used to determine whether a
card is in the slot. I'm using Slackware4.0 so your file is probably located
in a different place in RH. The relevant part of the file is below:
# Put socket driver timing parameters here
PCIC_OPTS="irq_list=4,6,10"
# Put pcmcia_core options here
CORE_OPTS=
# Put cardmgr options here
CARDMGR_OPTS=
# To set the PCMCIA scheme at startup...
SCHEME=
Hope this helps. ...Edwin

Hi everyone!
I'm trying to build and download Linux to the Cirrus Logic EP 7211 ARM
board. I have a problem with doing the actual downloading. I am using
a linux program that downloads the code, I found this program in the
ecos source code, to download it I concatenate the ANGEL rom with the
zImage rom that I created of the linux kernel, and try to download that.
When I boot up the board, the Angel starts cause a little green light on
the board tells me so, but the kernel doesn't boot up. Can anyone please
tell me what I did wrong here? Is there a special way to put the angel
rom and the zImage rom together? Or if you have a better way of
downloading the Linux kernel to this board, please let me know. Thanks!
