1. What did I do to create the problem?
Instead of using "linuxconf", I used
"useradd" command to create an account.
2. What else did I do?
I tested the user id and password, and noticed
that password did not take. So, I use
"usedel" command to delete the account and
tried this several times.
3. Then?
I figured out that the system was using "shadow",
and everytime I ran the useradd command it would
put clear text password into "passwd" file instead,
and not put a encrypted password into "shadow" file
4. Now for some *unknown* reason, it takes
30 seconds to get a telnet prompt, and pop3
mail and "netstat" commands all takes about
30 seconds of waiting.
thanks in advance.

I've had similiar problems. It's been a while, but I had to "save"
somewhere (perhaps in one of the pull down menus?), and *then* restart.

I do have some font issues so I'll look into your suggestion. (Did you

I solved my kmail problem. It was a matter of not being bold enough. I
was trying to install/update what I thought I needed. In the end, I was
making wrong judgments. I simply updated kdenetwork (which I feared to
touch) and kmail now functions smoothly.

That doesn't matter. The system looks in paswd before shadow. Only if
tehre's an "x" in the password field does it go on to look in shadow
instead.
But "clear text" passwd? NO. The passwd is always encrypted. If it
is clear text, then your useradd command is broken and you should
complain (but why do you need to use a useradd command for something as
simple as editing the passwd file? - if worried abut spoiling it, keep a
backup).
If you pprefer the password in shadow instead of passwd - and I really
don't see why you should care - then run pwconv.

These sound like dns or nis timeouts. Check nsswitch.conf and/or

After you executed the "useradd" statement you did issue a "passwd" to
actually change the users password. The system should be able to work out
that you are using MD5 passwords and take the appropriate action.

Very strange, the "passwd" command should have worked out the MD5 and shadow
scheme and worked accordingly.

These problems are not related as far as I can tell. Your problem here is
that it takes 30 seconds for a system to timeout for a reverse dns and identd
check. Make sure you have identd running or that the domain name server has
got a reverse IP address lookup for your host. Failing all of this, you can
insert the IP address of the machine that is trying to connect to you into the
/etc/hosts file and you should notice a speed up in your various network
processes which seem to be hanging.

Peter, thanks alot.
I am still not sure why but I removed the dns entry

You are right.
I removed the dns entry in the nsswitch.conf and it is working
now. Maybe the DNS server broke.

The problem that alot of free software zealots have is a limited
appreciation for anything resembling a lifecycle model. The problem
with even quick fixes from the author is that you probably need them
at least six months before the ship date. For linuxconf, which should
have screen shots in the documentation, that's more like 12-18.
That's not a snide remark, or a dig at linuxconf, just a fact of
life. Debian provides a distribution which never releases, but is
always in a perpetual beta test for people who prefer that model.
The gods honest truth is that the shrink-wrapped versus downloaded
product wars will probably never be solved, as each one is better in
certain situations. And, for a fast-changing package, you'll almost
always be forced to acquire it from the source.

Telling me. It's a question of perspective; I think of software as having
intrinsic versions while this idea of `release' is a humanoid invention.
Versions will always go up in a continual stream: draw the dividing line
wheresoever you will, or, be a Debian type and look at the stream not the
rocks :8)

You should be able to change all of the settings from the front panel on the
printer itself.
push menu button until you come to jetdirect menu.
next push item button until you see "cfg network=no*" push value changing
no* to yes and puch select.
this puts you into the IP config menu system. alwayz remember to push
select to save an individual change, if not and you go back i will revert to
original values.

not usually, in debian2.2 (which I use), it is not that way - /tmp and /var/tmp are
separate. sure, I could use ln -s to alter this, but I like to have /tmp on its own
partition. If this partition crashes, I loose no important data..

maybe you are right. One time I needed it because I often reinstalled Linux, just to
test
different distros and didn't want to lose my settings. today I think it is only a bad

that is true, if i am forcing someone to use _my_ setup, i will be all wrong. and i am

yes.... look in the configuration utility of your favorite window

Subject: lpd interoperatibility with Solaris
Date: Fri, 18 May 2001 11:38:14 -0400
I just installed my Redhat 6.2. Everything works fine except remote
printing to a Solaris 2.5.1 server. When I run lpr to the defined
printer, the spooling process looks fine, but nothing happens to my
printer on Solaris. I used tcpdump to monitor on Printer port(515). It
did something with Solaris server. I went to solaris's lpNet log. Here
are the error messages in /var/lp/logs/lpNet.
05/18 09:46:44 c 26454 mylinux request creation failed (cf: 0 bytes)
05/18 09:46:44 c 26454 mylinux TLIWrite(connection) : orderly release
indication
Does anybody have any idea about this?
Thanks for your comment in advance!

you should check out the tux2 filesystem.... <smile>

Subject: "Bay Manager" support in Linux? (RH 7)
Date: 18 May 2001 10:46:45 -0500
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have a DELL laptop that has "Bay Manager" support in DOS/Windows - this
allows you to connect/disconnect the external drives (floppy and CD) without
rebooting. For example, you can boot with the CD, then unplug it and put it
away, then later you can reconnect it, and run the Bay Manager program to
tell the OS (i.e., Windows) to re-assign the drive letter to the device.
Unfortunately, in Linux, once I disconnect the CD, it is lost until I reboot.
Is there anything like this for Linux?
