Namecheap doesn't even run their own DNS servers. Namecheap is an eNom reseller.

Re: IP forwarding in SuSe 8.0
In message [EMAIL PROTECTED], James McDonald [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes what's the output of your route command... I don't know but maybe it's something real simple like needing another route added? Having just tried to get dhcp to work in SuSe 7.3, I can see why you ask. Does PPP have its own dhcp client, people seem to get that to work all right? In 7.3, dhcpcd does not like the dhcp server it has to use, and dhcpclient fails to install the allocated gateway. A rather kludgy insertion of all likely gateways into the routing table is my way round! However, although I tried several possible routes added with no effect, it doesn't change the fact that routing from my SuSE 8 box to the Internet works with the dhcp-allocated route, and I don't see how I can add a route for the benefit of kernel IP forwarding when all it really needs to know is which device to forward to. If I am wrong, I shall be grateful for advice on how to do it. -- Roger Hayter ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

Scribbling feverishly on May 25, Joel Hammer managed to emit: I am using gnuplot. I want to have bar graphs of data with a superimposed Gaussian distribution, based on the usual mean and standard deviation that the typical spreadsheet calculates from the data. There is a function called norm in the gnuplot program which sounds like this is what I need. However, here is all the manual has to say: The norm function returns the normal distribution function (or Gaussian) of the real part of its argument. and The functions in GNUPLOT are the same as the corresponding functions in the Unix math library, except that all functions accept integer, real, and complex arguments, unless otherwise noted. I have looked for the unix math manual on line, and can't find one. Could someone please explain how to use the norm function in unix, or better yet, in gnuplot? I didn't find a norm() in the C library or in the header (/usr/include/math.h).

Re: OT unix math function: norm
When I have done that I have calculated the mean and standard deviation, and then used
those
to create a gaussian curve. You also need to normalize the curve to fit the data,
since a
normal gaussian distribution is normed to 1, but that is just a scale factor.

Thanks for the answer. It is helpful.

superimpose itself over bar graphs showing a population distribution.
The idea is to give an immediate visual impression of how far from
normal the population data is given the population mean and std dev.
I haven't had success with this. I can't seen to get it right. What I
see is a much higher peak of my normal curve than what I see in my

Consumer-grade digital video cameras, firewire, Linux, anybody?
That friend of mine with the laptop battery troubles has a nice, fast SuSE 8.0 with XFS. I haven't tested battery yet, but the thing isn't swapping to the HD all the time, even though I went overboard and gave him 600 mb of swap. Now, he wants to replace his now dead digital video camera with something in the $300-$500 range, that works in Linux, and is firewire, and is of good quality. I'm giving up Googling. I spent about two hours on there and got plenty of links about webcams, but he doesn't want a webcam. Any suggestions on what to get?

Re: Consumer-grade digital video cameras, firewire, Linux, anybody?
I don't know that what he wants exists. He basically wants a fully featured video camera, that has a IEEE1394 interface? I know that Axis Communications makes a cat5 camera with a built in webserver, but that's about as close as it gets. If he's truly looking to do fancy video recording, he should purchase a quality camera, and a video capture/TV card.

Strange Port hits
I've been getting a lot of hits on port 1433 lately. This is something new in the last week or so. Anyone know of anything going on in the dark world of hackers that makes port 1433 a good target?

Re: Strange Port hits
Yes, it's SQLServer, and I had to reload a Win 2k system two weeks back that got infected, probably through that port. It wasn't exposing anything else (no Outlook, no IIS). Fortunately it was a research machine, and the data I really need on it is static, so reloading wasn't such a horrible chore. I no longer use the default port, and I'm hoping for the best, because I have no clue how to prevent it happening again if the culprit(s) detects the new port. So if you're running Linux I wouldn't worry all that much. ++ kevin On Mon, May 27, 2002 at 05:39:07PM -0400, Bruce Marshall wrote: I've been getting a lot of hits on port 1433 lately.
