[leaf-user] stupid linux question
I asked this question before but received no replies, I will ask again, if anyone knows Is it possible to create environment variables in linux/unix like you would in DOS using CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT? That is, a variable that is accessible to any subsequent running program? I vaguely remember reading sometime back that this was not possible because of fundamental differences between DOS/Win and Unix. While I do know you can set environment variables in /etc/profile, the problem is they are only accessible to a logged in user, not the system. Thanks. __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

If you are running bash and have root access you should be able to change /etc/bashrc. If there is no such file, you can create it. That is the global rc file for bash, and it is used for all bash shells, not only login shells. Hope this helps. -- Christer O.

While I do know you can set environment variables in /etc/profile, the problem is they are only accessible to a logged in user, not the system. I believe therre are multiple approaches to this, depending on your distro and version. SuSe used to have a file, /etc/rc.config, which was sourced from their set up environment. In more recent versions this is located in /etc/sysconfig, distributed over a multitude of configuration files. For other distros there must be similar constructs. The problem is here, each daemon process can choose what environment it likes to import/use. And of course you are free to source these in your interactive environment.

Exactly why you would want to do this is somewhat beyond me. IMHO, you should spend time and effort bringing your thought process around to the linux/unix way of doing things, rather than trying to squeeze linux into a DOS mold... -- Charles Steinkuehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.

Re: [leaf-user] stupid linux question
Try to put the application in a shell script. The shell script will get its environment variable from /etc/profile if configured properly. cpu memhd wrote: I asked this question before but received no replies, I will ask again, if anyone knows Is it possible to create environment variables in linux/unix like you would in DOS using CONFIG.SYS or AUTOEXEC.BAT?

Re: [leaf-user] Where's the NIC drivers?
I am using CD image and here is part of my /etc/modules. Pay attention to the 'mount', 'umount' and 'dir' commands so you can specify the modules directly from CD and you do not have to copy them to your modules.lrp. ! mount iso9660 /dev/cdrom # You can directly reference modules, like this: #/scsi/aic7xxx #/fs/ext2 # Or change the default directory, like this: #! dir /lib/modules/net ! dir /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/net # PCI ethernet cards #pci-scan mii eepro100 # pci-scan required by drivers below... 3c59x # Masquerading 'helper' modules # Don't remove anything here, unless you know what you are doing # Other modules available in kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter # ! dir /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/net/ipv4/netfilter ip_conntrack ip_conntrack_ftp ... # the end of file ! umount - Original Message - From: Jaap Eldering [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: LEAF [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 5:20 AM Subject: Re: [leaf-user] Where's the NIC drivers?

[leaf-user] SNMP
I'm having a little trouble getting snmpd to work correctly. I've installed the following packages on my Bering uClibc box: libm.lrp libsnmp.lrp snmpmibs.lrp netsnmpd.lrp netsnmpu.lrp A ps -aux shows that snmpd is running so that's good, but I can't query anything from it. I set up /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf exactly as it is shown in the documentation on http://leaf.sourceforge.net/doc/guide/bk05ch13.html (I changed the community name of course). Since I have the netsnmpu.lrp installed, I thought that I'd be able to snmpwalk from the localhost. This is what I ran: snmpwalk -v2c -m ALL -c airwired -O vq localhost I don't get any output or any error messages. I think my problem lies with the snmpd.conf file, but I'm not really sure what else to change. Does anyone have a working copy that they'd be willing to share? Or do I have another problem? -- Joe Nelson Air Wired [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.airwired.net --- SF email is sponsored by - The IT Product Guide Read honest candid reviews on hundreds of IT Products from real users.
