Hi,
I wanted to know what type of backing-up system can I use for my Linux
workstation..like can I use a cd writer..or a jazz drive..or something like
that.
Thanks,

Any of the above, and more including QIC tape and various flavours of
network backup.
For instance:
I backup one of my machines to CD-RW, the other to a removable HD.
The 'tar' utility was originally designed as a 'tape archive' to back
up to serial media (magnetic tape); it can be used to write archives
to QIC tape.
There are a number of network backup tools around, including IBM's
ADSM, Knox Software's Arkeia, and of course SAMBA and NFS.

Hi!
I have installed the ModSSL package RPM.
Now, when I start Apache httpd, I have a error message : undefined
symbol:ap_global_ctx.
In FAQ of ModSSL, it writes : I must installed a patch for Apache
EAPI. In the site ModSSL, I find a patch but not for Apache/Linux but
only for Apache.
Can you help me for find the patch EAPI for Apache ?
Thanks.

Nothing special is needed; just use the regular inb/outb etc.

What does your init_module do? Does it have anything that detects
an error and returns it?

Do you mean Framebuffer kernel support, or XFree86 Direct Rendering? Because
"agp" support can be compiled into the kernel generically, it's in the
Character devices section "/dev/agpgart"
.. it's all I needed for my i810 motherboard + video to get Xfree86 4.x
running. But then again I don't do anything "fancy".

Subject: advice needed on process hierarchies

Advice needed on the following:
Eg.
Question:
Write a pseudo C code to create the following process hierarchies using
fork:
P1
/ | \
P2 P3 P4
Solution:
pid = fork()
if (pid > 0)
pid = fork()
if (pid > 0)
pid = fork()
Question:
Write a pseudo C code to create the following process hierarchies using
fork:
P1
/ | \
P2 P3 P4
| \
P5 P6
please advice on the solution.
I am not able to derive a solution for this one.
Is there a simple algorithms to follow to generate the C code to create the
process hierarchy of any kind.
regards,
richard lim

comp.unix.do.my.homework is -> that way. Alternatively, you could try
to read the manpage of fork() and think for a couple of minutes. As soon
as you understand what fork() does this exercise will become completely
obvious. Any textbook/FAQ/whatever on UNIX should be sufficient to
get such understanding.

Fortunately, it _is_ a shell script. From the kernel sources (2.2.13):
static int do_linuxrc(void * shell)
{
static char *argv[] = { "linuxrc", NULL, };
close(0);close(1);close(2);
setsid();
(void) open("/dev/console",O_RDWR,0);
(void) dup(0);
(void) dup(0);
return execve(shell, argv, envp_init);
}
I use linuxrc on an embedded system to start inetd and some other
processes. Works fine.

By using I/O instructions (outb and friends). Since there are no virtual
I/O-addresses, you need no special step there.
If you need examples, the kernel sources are full of them.

Subject: tcp connection queue size
Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 06:28:57 GMT
Hello,
I have a question about tcp socket connections in qeneral.
I was just wondering what is the default queue size relating to
incoming tcp connection requests that linux can handle right out of the
box. Is there any way to change it and increase this queue size and
how?
thanks..
