Then you get someting which looks more like a script, with a combination
of the command find, a do-loop and grep. (Or simply do
grep relay * */* */*/* ...)
This is one long line, but I can't post that.
for FILE in $( find /in/some/dir/ -type f) ;
do grep WORD $FILE && echo "$FILE contains WORD" ;
done;
The && echo "$file contains WORD" is required because using grep on a
single file will only give the lines containing the string you're
looking for, but not the filename. There are options in grep in to
modify that default, but generally I can't be bothered to remember them
or to reference the manual. (That option is -H by the way.)
If you only need the filenames, modify the script that all output of
grep won't displayed:
for FILE in $( find /in/some/dir/ -type f) ;
do grep WORD $FILE > /dev/null && echo "$FILE contains WORD" ;
done;

find directory -type f -exec grep "text" {} /dev/null \;
(The /dev/null is a hack that causes grep to print out the name of the
file in which it finds text; otherwise you'll get the line but not know
which file it appeared in.)

Another Update:
Installed the xinetd update, and it still didn't work. I got a bunch of
Log entries saying "connection refused from 0.0.0.0". I found out I had
to put the following line in hosts.allow:
linuxconf:ALL
Then it worked just fine. I rechecked the security in the linuxconf
network-access module, and it was still working correctly, so it looks
like linuxconf will deny requests after they are passed though the
hosts.allow entry. Whew! Now I can lock the box away in its proper place
and do remote administration.

For nearly a year, I have used a Logitech Optical Wheel mouse as a three
button mouse. It replaced a standard Microsoft wheel mouse and the only
setting change I made was to alter the acceleration slightly. It cost me
roughly $30 and I gather that there is even a cordless one available
now. The battery is supposed to last 6 months but I have not tried one
yet.
Incidentally, can you cut and paste between normal windows? The process
described seems to paste a copy without cutting.

As has already been said, with the current 2.4 kernels you are on the safe
side with SWAR = 2x RAM.
Note, however, that according to my observations it greatly depends what
you really need. One of the workstations I have here for my users has 128
MB RAM and 128 MB swar. It is used basically under KDE for web browsing,
eMailling and all the stuff that normal people have to do on normal days.
Until now, no user of that machine has ever complained about any
memory/swap related problems, and when I'm using that machine, I also don't
see any problems during normal use. I'm very sure, however, that my setup
for that workstation could lead to problems if some more demanding things
would be done on it. If the machine was a database server or something used
to compile quite a lot of software, I'd probably have to add more swap. So
the bottom line is that it all depends on what you are doing with your
machine, and if you want to make sure that you don't run into problems
later, you should probably start with SWAP = 2x RAM.
Greetings
Nils

OK, but I'm still awaiting some description of the actual benefits,
relative to my current situation, that will convince me to invest the
time in downloading it, and installing it. I guess that after my 7.0
experience, once bitten, twice shy.

What do you mean by the "latest version of it"? RH 7.1 or gcc? What
is it that "rocks"? And if it's 7.1, can someone please tell me what
it is that "rocks" about it?

Unpack the source, find the documentation and read it.
Mostly it get down to:
1. Unpack the source, lets say it gets into directory glibc2.2.3
2. cd glibc2.2.3
3. ./configure
4. if configure is successful continue with
make
5. if make is successful continue with
make install
But then remeber that rpm has no clue about your upgrade
(as far as I have understood).

Just run "ntsysv" from a prompt and you can simply enable/disable ftp
