can't find bind

1998-07-14 Thread Michael Harnois
I have bind set up as a caching-only nameserver on the machine that
serves as my internet gateway, and it works just peachy. However, my
workstation can't see it: i.e. when I run nslookup, I get 

*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.3: Non-existent
host/domain

and it rolls over to the second listing in resolv.conf, my ISP's
nameserver. Since everything else on my localnet works fine, what's
wrong here?

Re: Prompt in Bash

1997-09-06 Thread Michael Harnois
Since you're providing enlightenment ... I ran into a problem when I
tried to modify your script for my own preferences. Specifically, when 
I tried to change the value of PS1 to give a colorized prompt. The
string I began with was

PS1=\\[\\e[1;31m\\]\h:\\[\\e[0m\\]\\[\\e[1;34m\\]\\w\\[\\e[0m\\] $ 

This string works find in a straight .bashrc. However, when I use it 
in your file, it works fine on a login shell. When I start a subshell, 
though, I get

[: too many arguments

Thinking I must be doing something terribly stupid, I poked and
prodded that string every way I could think of, but the same result
persisted.

but I fixed that ... however, it didn't
solve this problem. I can reproduce the error I reported simply by typing
xrdb -merge /etc/X11/Xresources at a prompt, so I know at what point in the
startup process this error is occurring. However, I don't have a clue how
to fix it.

what broke ip forwarding?

1996-12-28 Thread Michael Harnois
What packages in bo could plausibly have an effect on ip forwarding?

I had forwarding and masquerading working reliably on a machine
running 2.0.27 until I upgraded a bunch of packages. Suddenly it quit,
and now the only way it works is if I set the default policy to
accept.

xterm fails

1996-11-18 Thread Michael Harnois
After upgrading a number of packages from the unstable tree, including x 3.2,
suddenly xterm would no longer run. It gives the error xterm: Error 14, errno
13: Permission denied. All my other X programs, including rxvt, work fine. Are
there files that xterm opens or writes to that rxvt does not, or what else
could this be?

make xconfig bad colors

1996-08-20 Thread Michael Harnois
Somewhere along the line, I'm not sure just where, the colors in the
xconfig screens on my system got messed up and I don't know how to fix
them. The background is white and the foreground is a pale grey -- so
grey, in fact, that only the top or bottom half of the button shapes
appears. How do I fix this?

I am, too, so I hope if you receive private replies you will enlighten me.
 
 Then I try to fetch mail messages from mbox.sgk into my MH inbox,
 by executing:   
inc -file ~/mbox.sgk
 
I'm certain I'm more confused than you are, but is it not true that by
using mailagent wisely one should be able to avoid the use of inc
altogether?

I get this too but haven't a clue as to why.  I get this whenver I connect
with either SLIP or PPP.  I'm using kerneld and I thought that may have
something to do with it but I don't know.  Are you by chance running
kerneld too? 

Yup.
