writeable but not eraseable directory
hi I have a dirctory ~user1 ( which is owned by user 1) I have a subdir ~user1/changes I want the user to be able to write to ~user1/ and to ~user1/changes/ but i do not want him to be able to rmdir ~user1/changes is there a way ? ( i am aware of a way of making a unwritable middle directory i.e. ~user/unwritable-dir/changes , but i'm not looking for that solution ... ) another question: is there a /dev/null directory ( i.e. you can write anything you want into it, but what you write isn't really written, you just dont get an error ... ) thanks erez. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: hebrew in napster
EL which reminds me did anyone got galeon ( the gnome based EL mozilla) to work better than the reqular mozilla? I tried it, but found it's not worth the trouble. It has the same gecko renderer from mozilla, so you earn nothing here. It's not so drastically faster, and it lacks a lot of convenience features. Also, it's less stable than mozilla. Now that mozilla snapshots are useable, for me galeon is not needed anymore. However, if you need a browser just for looking on plain html pages, it could be the viable choice - it's still faster and smaller. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] \/ There shall be counsels taken Stanislav Malyshev /\ Stronger than Morgul-spells phone +972-3-9316425/\ JRRT LotR. http://sharat.co.il/frodo/ whois:!SM8333 = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Linux,NT,Solaris and FreeBSD on the same disk
Hi all, I'm about to install (depicted above) OSes at my new disk. I had previously all of them , but with SystemCommander , and had no problems at all. The question is : If I can to install all this stuff without SystemCommander and what I have to take into account ? I know that LILO can load NT,Solaris and FreeBSD , but I never succeeded to load Solaris 5.7 with LILO :( Thanks, Uri = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

ADSL fresh news - for all you who have trouble connecting
Hi! I am back from Bezeq's labs after testing all current ADSL modems. First, I would like to thank Bezeq for the cooperation and good will. Now to the bottom line: Alcatel modem: there are 2 kinds of ehernet / analog line . Both work ok with current Linux pptp (the revised version of mulix). The USB modem was not tested. The ethernet / ISDN modem has a bug which we were able to overcome by a change to the pptp. So it works as well. Orkit modems: Old model (with 2 rj45 data ports ) works ok. New model (with only 1 rj45 data port) does not work. Trace of the sniffer capture was handeled to Orkit and we expect some answers. I will post an update of the HOWTO (hopefuly) during the weekend with the needed details.

Re: Updated ADSL-HOWTO
Ok, I went out and patched the pppd software exactly according to crisk's
suggestions, and I even reordered the lcp options so that they will be
sent in the exact order win2000 sends them. Unfortunately, none of this
worked - same result, even though I compared the packet sent by Linux and
win2000 - they look almost identical. If anyone wants the patched ppp for
testing, please send me mail.
My current conclusion is, unless I made a mistake with the patch(it's
quite possible), that the problem is not with the ppp options. It might be
a bug in the IP stack of the orckit modem which causes it to ignore the
pptp packets sent by Linux...
Thanks,
Lior

On the ADSL note, I've read in today's Yediot Achronot that
"Microsoft and Orckit fixed the serious problems with Orckit's ADSL
equipment and Windows ME." They say a fix is available on Microsoft's
site... this might be relevant.
You guys mightwant to bug Orckit to fix the firmware on their lousy
modems, too. There's nothing wrong with the LCP options that pppd sends,
except that the Orckit modem might not understand 'asyncmap' (hey,
it's not on RFC1661, but nobody bothered either reading the IETF pppext
drafts or implementing standard unknown option rejection). I have
parsed this information from the captures (Windows vs. Linux) that mulix
sent me:
The options in the first LCP (id 0) packet sent by a Windows dialer
(ordered as they appear in the packet):
- Magic-Number (32-bit number)
- Protocol-Field-Compression on
- Address-and-Control-Field-Compression on
- Callback value 6 (meaning CBCP will determine callback)
- Multilink-MRRU (Max-Recieved-Reconstructed-Unit), value 0x064e (1614)
- Multilink-Endpoint-Descriminator (with a class 1 [locally
assigned] address 22 bytes long)
The linux pppd first LCP (id 1, unlike Windows' id 0):
(the lousy Orckit modem never replies to this LCP message)
- Asyncmap 0x
- Magic-Number (32-bit number)
- Protocol-Field-Compression on
- Address-and-Control-Field-Compression on
If I had to fix this, I'd first set the id of the first LCP packet pppd
sends to zero. This is exactly the kind of stupid bugs people would make
and never test for, and it takes about 2 seconds to rig pppd to use 0
(ie change line 708 in fsm.c from "f-reqid = ++f-id" to "f-reqid =
f-id++" or something like that)
If this fails, I'd get rid of the asyncmap as well ('pppd -am' should do
this). And if -that- failed, I'd add multilink, and finally, callback.
It seems odd to me that nobody fixed the pppd yet. I don't have ADSL,
but a good friend of mine does, and obviously not a few people on this
list. Surely there must be some protocolguru with interest of fixing
this.. reverting to Windows is not an option.

Hi Lior,
attached to this email is an updated version of the ADSL howto, covering
what we know about the problem you ran into.In short, there are several
kinds of orckit ADSL modems, one of whom works with Linux in the default
configuration (pptp with the trivial patch) and one of whom requires a
patched pptp and a patched pppd to (maybe) work.

Update of Orange SMS script
People using my SendSMS script (or one of its derivatives) have probably
noticed that a couple of days ago the script stopped working for sending
Orange SMSs (Cellcom works as it did).
Don't worry - Orange did not stop its web SMS service - it only redesigned
the interface a bit, to use all sorts of funky JavaScripts, Flash, windows
and graphics. The redesign was very superficial (all the cookie machinery
for logging-in stayed the same), but it unfortunately broke my script
because I was checking for various string constants in the result to make
sure that the result was successful. These string constants had to be changed:
for example, what was once an HTTP redirection string, is now an ugly
Javascript redirection hack that I should look for in the result string.
Anyway, here's a patch for my script to make it work again for the current
Orange site. If people will have problems with it, I can post the entire
370 line script again. I also hope that the other people that released
derivatives of my script will release fixed versions.
P.S. There's a semantic change (at least I think it's a change - I don't
remember how it was before, because I'm a Cellcom user myself) in the
"sender" parameter. Orange now seems to ignore it unless it's a number.
When it is a number, it is displayed on the phone as the "sender", but when
it is not it is not displayed at all (the name used to open the SMS account
is used instead - I call my self mr. E. Mail ;)). I have no idea why Orange
does this - it's really very silly. But it means that if you used to
convey some important information in the "sender" string, you won't be able
to do it any more - just make the "message" string itself longer.
