However, since this is a laptop, its not always connected to the network...is there some easy way to keep sshd from pausing the boot sequence for 5 minutes if there is no network? If you don't want sshd running at all you can just do: update-rc.d -f ssh remove This will remove the links in /etc/rc?.d but leaves the /etc/init.d/ssh script. You will need to run `/etc/init.d/ssh start` to start sshd manually, but you wont need that unless you plan on logging _into_ the laptop.
Re: Sparc Ultra5 (170)
On Wed, May 12, 1999 at 07:42:09AM -0500, Ian Keith Setford wrote: I posted this question to the Sparc list but didn't get a reply so I'm trying it here. I have an Ultra5 that I would like to install on. The installation pages make no mention of this, or any other machine being supported. I am curious because the RedHat installation manual specifically states that the Ultra5 is unsupported. I have also heard that this is a kernel problem and the kernels after 2.2.5 *do* support this machine. Can anybody clear this up? I have been using Debian on Intel for almost three years and I'd like to put Debian on this box if at all possible. We have users and developers running stock slink on Ultra1's Ultra30's and I believe an Ultra5. The boot disks to use are the 2.2.1-sun4u, I'm pretty sure you will have no problems.

That is incorrect, slink supports UltraSPARC, and as does potato.

Database does not equal API. SQL and LDAP are API's for accessing physical information usually stored in a native format on the system (with Berkely db2 for example). You cannot intermix db's created with different API's (without some strange gateway code). So, you cannot create a database with MySQL and serve it with slapd (the LDAP server).

(but how?) Thanks. The reason it did this is because '..' is included in .* , I would suggest next time using just * or just . (just . will recurse from the cwd up, using * will not include the cwd).
Re: Debian/Redhat Alliance
- Original Message - From: Lyno Sullivan To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 1999 2:05 PM Subject: LLS: Debian/Redhat Alliance As soon as I get a chance I am going to write an article recommending that Redhat and Debian form an alliance. Redhat becomes the distributor to 1) commercial operations and 2) people who are only interested in being free software consumers. People interested in becoming a volunteer producer, in the free software community, will more likely use the Debian distribution. Debian will become the nexus of the volunteer based, development community. One missing ingredient is a commercial operation that will be the Redhat equivalent distributor of the Debian distribution. Another missing ingredient is the site that will provide the Volunteer Registry, the Project Registry and the Volunteer/Projec t Match facility. This distributor (with Registries) will become the gentle onramp for wannabe free software volunteers. There is another ingredient but I cannot discuss it at this time. Anyone wanting to volunteer time, should join the Debian community. Free software, documentation, databases, images, poetry, literature, etc. will be developed and tested within the Debian community. Software will flow from Debian to Redhat, for com mercial packaging and distribution. The distributions must become aligned towards this goal for it to work smoothly. That's the picture I intend to promote. Please don't do this.
Re: Runiing processes. What are these?

I use Xisp to connect to my ISP. These are the getty's for your virtual consoles (the ones you access with ALT+F#). They are defined in /etc/inittab. If you run X and don't use the console a lot, then you should be in runlevel 5 which only runs 1 or 2 (can't remember) getty's/consoles. Either way you need atleast one running or you wont be able to login from the console at all with something like xdm.
Re: can't open pseudo-terminal error with glibc 2.1 (potato)

What can I do? It's not a problem of all pty's being used. I tried to recompile sshd to no avail. If I can't get this to work quickly I'll have to downgrade... Then again maybe you could read the docs. You have two choices... a) rm -f /dev/ptmx b) make sure your kernel (2.2.x) is compiled with devpts support and mount /dev/pts/ (read the kernel docs) This stems from the fact that glibc 2.1 enables use of Unix98 pty's and if /dev/ptmx is present then glibc expects /dev/pts/ to be mounted.

Create a file /etc/rcS.d/0screen_blank and put that command in it. You may also need to chmod 755 /etc/rcS.d/0screen_blank. That should run the command at every boot.
Re: VMware again

When I reboot my box the vmware moddules did not load. My guess is if I make a link from /etc/rc.d/init.d/vmware to /etc/init.d/vmware things should start automatically. Is this correct or should I move the vmware scripts to normal debian places? When installing you should tell it to use /etc instead of the default /etc/rc.d
