Help programming printer

2003-11-09 Thread jse
 
I am trying to port an old MS-DOS program and I have run into a stumbling 
block.  The Mess Dos program wrote directly to the printer.  I can't seem 
to find much information on how to print from a program.  Can anyone 
recommend information on a web page or a book that I can learn more?  Or 
am I just making this too hard? 
 
Thanks

Machine stops responding for a minute or so?

2003-09-20 Thread jse
 
I have a remote machine running icecast to send an internet radio stream 
and it also serves the web page.  Every now and then it just quits 
responding for a minute or so.  The audio stream stops, it won't dish up 
the web page, I can't ping it, and the ssh session I keep open doesn't 
respond either. 
 
There is a Linux router on the network connection and it still responds 
during the bad period so I don't believe it is an external network 
problem. 
 
This morning when it happened as soon as I could get back in I looked at 
the log files and the only thing that looked unusual was about the time it 
stopped responding there was this entry in http-access.log: 
 
209.42.72.248 - - [20/Sep/2003:08:28:21 -0600] GET /scripts/nsiislog.dll 
404 - - - 
 
which I assume was someone looking for a vulnerable IIS server?  That 
shouldn't cause any grief should it? 
 
Does anybody have any ideas why it would just go away like that?  And is 
there anything I could look for? 
 
Thanks

KDM won't start KDE

2003-08-20 Thread jse
I just installed FreeBSD 4.8 on this machine and I set up kdm to run by 
changing /etc/ttys to:

ttyv8 /usr/local/bin/kdm -nodaemon xterm on secure

When it boots I get:

login: ..time.. kdm[127]: Abnormal helper termination, code 0, signal 
73

But KDM seems to start up fine and I get the login screen, but when I 
login (as either root or a user) the login dialog disappears and I'm 
left with the KDE background and the X cursor.  If I goto tty0 I now 
have the message:

..time.. kdm[130]: no modules loaded for `kde' service

and in bot /var/log/XFree86.0.log and kdm.log it has this message 
repeated about 4 times a second:

AUDIT: ..time..: 124 XFree86: client 2 rejected from local host

I searched on google for the above messages and found some discussion 
about PAM problems.  I looked at pam.conf and noticed that xdm and gdm 
were listed in there, but not kdm.  So I added an identical section for 
kdm but it doesn't seem to have made any difference.

If I remove the kdm stuff from ttys and get a command line login I can 
run startx and KDE comes up just fine.

Was there something else I needed to configure for KDM to run correctly?

Thanks
