Do a 'make mrproper'
then
make config
make dep
make zImage
Oh yes, and put the Makefile workaround to use the kgcc compiler instead
of 'gcc' , mentioned in some other post here.

You should have an entry in your sshd_config like this:
Protocol 2,1
try connecting like this:
ssh -v -v user@hostname
To see what is really happening, post the output and your sshd_config in
order to make it possible for others to help you.
There is a newsgroup comp.securtiy.ssh which could better suite your
needs.

To the best of my knowledge, there is no way to detect masquerading, except
for inspecting packets and look for inconsistent content (like the same
computer browsing a number of different sites at the same time (actually
possible and sometimes likely), sending mail simultaneously as seven
different users (also possible, albeit unlikely), using different browsers
on different platforms simultaneously, like Macintosh, Windows, Linux
(extremely unlikely), ...)
But as a matter of practicality, the provider should use too many resources
just to catch masqueraders -- and still would not have proof of it, only
suspicion.
Please tell me differently, if I'm wrong.

Look in /etc/rc.config for an entry that says KEYTABLE="some.map.gz"
and change it to read KEYTABLE="it.map.gz", that should help. You may
need to do some xmodmap work to get things straight in X too.

On Hayes and Rockwell modems the comma gives 2 seconds delay.
It is used on slow exchanges where the modem starts dialing before the
exchange is ready to accept the dial.
The X0 in init string tells the modem to dial without checking the line for
tone.
It helps on lines where the tone maybe too weak or wrong frequency.
Have fun.

Hello.
I have downloaded the Hendick's patches for ATA100. There were not msg about
how to use it there. So I have read the manual for patch and tried to use it
as written in manual. It has said:
patch: **** strip count num is not a number
I do not know if it is good or bad or what does it mean. I can see some hde,
hde1, hde4, hde5 ... hdf, hdf1 ..etc in /dev
I have connected the new disk and after starting the linux I have tried to
mount the hard drive. It said:
mount: the kernel does not recognize /dev/hde4 as a block device
(maybe `insmod driver'?)
What does it mean? What should I do?
Thanks for any help.

I think that X configuration asks "Is Everything OK?" (or something like
that), before it decides to reboot into graphical login. You can run that
part again (turboxcfg) as "root" from a text console. BUT DON'T ANSWER IT
"YES" unless you get some clearly visible GUI query box with "OK" buttons
or something. A black screen with just a yellow banner along the top is a
bad sign; if that's all you get, wait about 10 or 15 seconds for "OK" and
then tell it NO. That is because everything is definitely NOT OK. Then do
the text login selection and don't get tied up in graphical (X) logins.
During X configuration you can select to go back into the X menu, or just
to select text login and finish the basic installation.
Again, you can run turboxcfg at anytime from a regular text login. And it
is possible to start X from a text login, but I don't recommend it myself
to somebody without a lot scars haggling with X.
[Snip...]

Well, not in 25 words or less. It's easier just to reinstall and don't be
so quick to select X login when asked. If you want to try X and can't get
turboxcfg to play nice, finish the installation selecting "Text Login" or
whatever instead of "Graphical" so you have a working system. Then do the
X thing by running "startx" from a console. This is a lot of grief if you
don't have several ORA books around with X arcana available. Hence, you'd
naturally expect all the distributions to try to automate the process and
that's what turboxcfg tries to do without undue limitation (like MS).
The turboxcfg utility will let you go through its menu (mice, video etc.)
as many times as you like, even after you get X working. That's needed in
case you install new video hardware later. As you probably know, adding a
new piece of gear to a 'Doze box can be a doozy itself.
First, make sure you're not over driving you monitor/video for X. If your
brands don't show up in the list directly, check that documentation for a
very generic setup (maybe 800X640 at 60Hz etc.). Then run through several
mice selections until you get something more than a blank X screen with a
lone banner line at the top. I recall at least a GUI query box using "OK"
buttons or somesuch in the display.
I realize how frustrating this is, but you're better off even with a text
login only until you can post more symptoms and consult search engines as
for instance Google, http://google.com/linux).

Date: Sun, 11 Feb 2001 13:57:52 GMT
Hi all,
After further research and consideration this would be a difficult process
for little benefit.
I have also discovered that the nocheck option can be used to drastically
speed up mount times (as Linus Torvalds describes it: "The ext2 mount code
defaults to do a full check at mount time, and it takes _forever_ on a big
disk because the full check involves going through every superblock and
verifying that they all match etc.
It doesn't really buy you anything - it's not real protection in the
first place, and if you want to be safe you should just fsck the filesystem,
not do something silly that takes forever due to seeking all over the
disk.")
If I want the additional speed benefit of a 4k block matching the Intel page
size my
best option would probably be to back up my configuration files and do a new
install.
Regards,
Adam

Unless I'm missing something, this contains neat stuff about
moving everything from one disk to another. I'm trying to move
certain _directories_ such as /usr to another partition and not
break the links.
The idea is, '/usr' will move from '/hda10' to say '/hda12' and I
will put a little directory on '/hda10' which will link to
'/hda12'.
The real problem is, I see how to do this if I mount '/hda12' as
'/usr' in 'fstab'. Would that mean dedicating '/hda12' to being
'/usr'? I want to put other directories there too; maybe use sym
links?
Ok. Thinking aloud. I'll try this, mount '/hda12' as /usr' in
'fstab', and put other directories there too but referenced via
sym links.

That's a matter of opinion. And sure, blocking some packets can help
(or hinder). Are you going to?

What use would they be otherwise? Are you perhaps trying to distinguish
between the localhost interface and some other interface? ("internet"
covers them both, since both use IP). Sure, you can configure each and
every service every which way you like .. provided you know you have
them, and provided you know what to do with them, and provided you
know how to do it.

I have automated the export DISPLAY, for when I use telnet,
by including the following in the /etc/bashrc file.
if [ "$REMOTEHOST" ]; then
export DISPLAY=$REMOTEHOST:0.0
fi
If your system doesn't support the $REMOTEHOST variable, you
can create one, using the last, grep and cut commands. i.e
last $LOGNAME -1 -i -a|grep pts|cut -c61-
run during login, returns the IP address of the telnet
session currently being used for the login.
For commonly used apps, I use the rexec command from my OS/2
system, with the following script.
detach rexec linux -l <user_id> -p <password> %1 -display
192.168.1.1:0.0
The %1 parameter is passed from the settings in the desktop
icon and contains the full path and file name for the app.
Plug in the appropriate user_id, password and local host IP
address.
