Yep that's all. Both NIS and NFS are completely platform independant.
Small footnote: I have never heard of anyone finding the
conmfiguration of NIS simple, but it isn't insurmountable either. The
client should work with minimal configuration, the NIS/YellowPages server
may be more of a challenge.
At university we had a large network of solaris, irix, several flavours
of linux all working nicely together with NIS for the distributioin of
password information, home-directories all came from the central NFS server.
Playing with the blocksize for the NFS shares might result in a
considerable performance boost.

Hi - I'm too having problems getting my HP 9100 CD-writer to mount, so I
can't really help you that much, except to say that yes, it would help if
you checked to see what your master/slave settings are, because this is
what determines the devices: hda is the master on the first IDE interface,
and hdb is the slave. hdc is the master on the second interface cable, and
hdc is the slave.
As much as you might not want to go through this trouble, it is a basic
first step, and if your experience follows mine, then this will actually
be the easy part. It takes only a few minutes to do this, after all.
Sorry to dissapoint.

I've installed LoopLinux on my Win95 machine just to get my feet wet.
The machine has a D--Link PNP network card which is not getting
recognixed. I did the "pnpdump -c > /etc/isapnp.conf" and "isapnp

The card still isn't being recognized. The version I got from the

Actually, lilo has a newer version, which you can get from freshmeat,
that can boot beyond the 1024 cylinder. no proper releases of any
distro, that i know of, includes this version of lilo (though i believe
the 1024 barrier was removed a long time ago). simply install redhat,
using lilo to load from a boot floppy. then load linux from the floppy,
upgrade lilo, edit /etc/lilo.conf to write to the MBR (Master boot
record) by changing the boot line to 'boot=/dev/hda' and rerun lilo
(/sbin/lilo) to update itself. and their you are.
make sure to fix lilo to load windows as well (which it may or may not -
read lilo's man pages and the howto at http://linuxdoc.org )

it does depend on which distro you are using.
cd to /etc/rc.d
check in there, check in /etc/rc.d/init.d, or your runlevels.
redhat runs it via scripts that dynamically run through the various rc
directories, slackware calls it directly from /etc/rc.d/rc.M

Subject: Why "up"grade to Netscape 6?
Date: Thu, 01 Feb 2001 01:22:02 GMT
I've read several newsgroups & articles and all I see is that Netscape 6
is slow and buggy.
Why do people jump to it? What are the features you have found better
than at 4.7x ?
I am new to Linux and installing RH 6.2. Here are my choices:
Netscape 4.72 ships with RH6.2
Netscape 4.75 downloadable from netscape.com
Netscape 4.76 i've seen it referenced,
but it's not offered @ netscape.com
Netscape 6 There's an implied .0 following the 6.
On principle, I avoid x.0 releases of anything.
Not netscape? Any reasonable substitutes?
______________________________________________
Incidently, there is an interesting, perhaps counter-intuitive,
counter-culture article by Joel Spolsky lambasting the idea of rewriting
a system from scratch, which is what Netscape did in producing 6.0.
If you're a programmer or manager of software effort these should
interest you:
"Things You Should Never Do, Part I"

Subject: Setting Up Network Printer
Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2001 09:24:43 +0800
I wanted to set up a network printer under Redhat 6 and/or 7.
The entries that I manually added to /etc/printcap are as follows:-
is01:HP Laserjet 6:\
:sd=/var/spool/lpd/is01:\
:mx#0:\
:sh:\
:rm=hp6_rec:\
:rp=raw:\
In addition, I have also manually created the directory /var/spool/lpd/is01
(with right 777, owner:lp/lp) and added a corresponding entry of hp6_rec in
/etc/hosts.
Could someone advise me why I still couldn't get the printing done? How do I
troubleshoot it?
By the way, is there an easier way to set up printer such as using graphic
interface or utility? Thanks.

For most people their OS runs more then just a webbrowser.
The reason to go for a newer release is often a combination of:
* fixing things that are broken, have security bugs in them. For
instance older kernels that had exploitable buffer overflows, the
current holes in bind. Installing a newer release is easier the
installing all patches to bring the system up to the same patchlevel as a
newer release. Not when the system was up and running, regular
maintenance should do that, but when doing a fresh install, better to
begin with the most recent versions, then to start with an older
distribution and then installing all security updates.
FI netscape 6 has better support for stylesheets.
* Support for newer hardware, or more recent standards. RedHat 7 ships
fi with XFree86 4 which supports more of the newer graphics cards.
IIRC comes with 2.4 kernel which offers better support for USB, more
network adapters.
FI netscape 6 now supports XML which previous versions did not. For
developpers that may be a good feature.

Subject: Re: Why "up"grade to Netscape 6?
If I were you, I definitely would NOT
"up"grade to Netscape 6. I think that
4.7x is better, although I don't know
whether one of the 4.7x releases is
better than the others.
Fortunately, I only "up"graded to NS 6
on my Windows partition; I still have
4.7 on my Linux partition.
The news capabilities of NS 6 suck.
It's almost impossible even to FIND
newsgroups to subscribe to (you can't
search by name, unless you know how
the name of the newsgroup BEGINS, and
even that function is buggy), you can't
kill a thread with a right mouse click,
etc. You can't add a mail message's
sender to your address book with a
right mouse click, you can't even
COPY the header information easily
to create a message rule to move
spam to the trash, etc.
I've heard that the international
features of NS 6 are supposed to be
better (for people who work in multiple
code pages simultaneously), although
I have not checked this.
At least try it on somebody else's
machine before installing it on your
own.

Yes, I'm sure it is. Both are setted on irq 5. I need to change one on
another available irq (9 or 10). My bios isn't PnP, so I can force the
card to be set on a specific IRQ. But until my card is on irq 5, I
guess I can do nothing...
I need to find a utility program to changemy NIC's IRQ!!

I did not do this, because I would, after doing the following, get
things like
/big/boot/boot
/big/usr/usr
and thought that couldn't be right.
So I only _did_ do:
>cp -ax /boot /big/boot

>cp -ax /home /big/home

when I did this last one, I received tons of lines like:
cp: cannot create special file '/big/blah/blah...', file exists
etc. etc. etc.
It seemed to me as if the command was trying to copy the whole of
everything yet again!? It certainly took long enough to assume that...
:-)
Finally, everything stopped because 'the device is full'.
So, I did everything again. Finally, the copy process stopped with
several
cp: cannot create directory 'so and so': Input/output error
I tried everything twice, same results.

Is /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward set to 1 to enable IP forwarding? Also
you should probably be using the proxyarp option on the dialin server (not
defaultroute).
However, if you are talking about Network Neighborhood, I could not get
that to work unless I plugged the name and IP of the remote into the
lmhosts of the box running samba that I dialed into. A kludge was to
assume that the remote box was set for the same name as the login name and
use a combo of /etc/ppp/ip-up (ip-up.local in RH) to get and log the
remote IP to a file, and /etc/ppp/auth-up to get the username to plug that
and the logged IP into lmhosts.

But whatever you do, do not attempt to put LILO on /dev/hda1 if that is
where Windows boots from, because that would corrupt Windows and make it
totally unbootable. You might try putting LILO on /dev/hda2. But it
would not be able to boot Linux unless your LILO is a new one that can get
around the 1024 cyl limit.
LILO docs say it can be on a primary (Linux) or extended partition (one of
the 1st 4 partitions), but not a logical partition. But I do not know if
the new LILO itself can be located beyond the 1024 cyl limit.
