One reason why I should have a Linux laptop
Folks, For those of you in an admin role you may sympathize with this. I just had to change the IP addresses on a series of radios linking the sites of the company I work at. Because we only have windows I had to take a laptop up to the radio repeater site and use it to change each ip address. The problem was that windows (w2k) will allow you to change your ip address once but if you try it again it prompts for a reboot So in short each time I had to change my IP so I could connect to each radios subnet... I had to reboot g. Now if I had linux on the laptop the job would have taken considerably less time because I wouldn't have had to reboot once... viv la revolution Linux is a better tool for admin than window imo. -- James McDonald Singleton Australia 61+ (0)2 65712401 61+ 0428 320 219 Zeus gave Leda the bird.

Re: Network question
Hmmm, OK well I to take care of the occassional laptop I would install dhcpd on one of the linux/Unix boxes and configure a small 192.168.x.x DHCP scope to hand out an IP address when needed. If you have the occassional Windows box then you will be needing samba at some point. Installing samba is easy, if using a package based linux and configuration is trivial because it comes with SWAT a web based configuration utility. Just install samba-server and swat on the *nix box, then point you browser to http://localhost:901 You could also use ftp for file sharing between boxes by installing wu-ftpd or vs-ftpd or similar. NFS is not something I have had a lot to do with so I will let others comment on it. If you could let us know which version of Linux you have then we can advise how to test for the correct software. If you have a rpm based distribution (redhat mandrake etc) then doing rpm -qa | grep -i insert_search_word_here will show you what you have installed . hope this helps I've had UNIX and/or Linux at home for a very long time, but always just one or two independent machines that didn't need to share anything. Then I broke down and got printer sharing working. Now I think I really need to share files. The question: What's easiest to set up? I have a 3-computer network (4 counting an occasional laptop), and I mostly want to do backups over the net by having the old clunky machine with the CD-RW directly copying files. It would be easiest if the subject machine didn't have to get too involved, and I'm not much worried about consistency here. I'm mostly worried about fire and/or dying disk drives, so a little bit of inconsistency is the least of my worries. There are several 36-GB drives involved, but the actual backup traffic will be lots smaller than that. So I'm thinking NFS or perhaps Samba. I'm not using Windoze much, but it does show up from time to time. So: where do I get information? How do I tell if the software's already on my machine? What solutions should I consider? ++ kevin -- Dr. Kevin O'Gorman (805) 756-2986 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page: http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~kogorman ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users -- James McDonald Systems Engineer Singleton NSW Australia ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: This is just a test
Is it possible to do an ftp server with dialup where the IP address changes every time I log on and I don't have a domain registered anywhere so a DNS service would be useless? Sounds like you want a dynamic dns service. go to http://www.dyndns.org org and register once logged in click the services tab on the left hand side select the dynamic dns link it will expand to a list of sub options. click add host and make up a hostname and select which domain you want it to belong to and click add. Once you have done the above you need a DDNS Client, Click the Clients link under Dynamic DNS and select one for your OS. Download and configure it with your www.dyndns.org username and password and the hostname.x.xxx domain you selected and configure the update options per your tastes (the defaults are always a good start) Now when ever you dial up make sure that you have the DDNS Client active and updating your name to ip address mapping. -- James McDonald Singleton Australia 61+ (0)2 65712401 61+ 0428 320 219 Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. -- Albert Einstein Linux 2.6.0-test9 #1 Fri Nov 7 22:06:28 EST 2003 athlon i386 GNU/Linux 12:15:01 up 14:02, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.01, 0.00 ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://smtp.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Re: GTK Ticked-Off
Yes, in an ideal world there would be a stable API for everything, and new versions would not be a big problem. Pigs will fly first. In the interests of equal time, the rules allow breaking compatibility between major revisions, and the jump from 1.x to 2.x certainly qualifies as a major revision. It would be nice if greater effort were expeneded to ensure backward API compatibility. I noticed that in some of the backwardly compatible API's developers are saddled with the good and the bad from a previous implementation and the extra effort to maintain compatibility.

around the problem.
As noted above my MTA needs to accept mail as [EMAIL PROTECTED]

wouldn't accept [EMAIL PROTECTED] because even with

created the following script to check for my external ip and then create
a eth0:1 interface the same address as the external interface postfix
now considers [EMAIL PROTECTED] local and will accept mail from
that format. It doesn't seem to have broken my external connection or

At compile time, you modify the library path fed to the compiler so that one gets found before the other. Compare $ gcc foo.c -L /usr/lib -L /usr/local/lib -lmytestlib to $ gcc foo.c -L /usr/local/lib -L /usr/lib -lmytestlib I presume LD_LIBRARY_PATH is parsed left to right but what happens when you want to explicitly assign individual libs ? You use LD_LIBRARY_PATH at run time. Ohh and BTW barefeet and a hot cow pat can be heaven on a cold morning. Eew.

Re: Redhat 9.0 /usr/src/linux-2.4.x won't compile
I'd guess the compiler conflict is rearing it's ugly head. Maybe the stock source is for gcc-3.2 or 2.95, and the new source is compatible with 3.3, and you are using 3.3. Just a guess. I don't use redhat, but the kernel compile problems I've heard about lately have involved the compiler. You can change the link (/usr/bin/gcc) to point to an older one to compile older source. I have the standard install that came with RH9.0 of the compilors installed. So from what you say it's probably what the issue is. I am assuming that the `default' is gcc-3.2 or greater and that is what it uses. But the the kernel source need to be compiled using gcc-2.9x. I will test this theory.

Re: Apache setup help
sheesh ummm not real sure but here is my httpd.conf Folks, I'm trying to set up an Apache server to host my own web pages. I'm running it on a Gentoo system with a Celleron processor. It is networked to my home net and I'm accessing it from the SuSE 8.0 desktop I use to access the web normally. I'm trying to follow the O'Reilly Apache: The Definitive Guide, but when I first access the web pages (from my online site) the browser (Konqueror) displays the HTML code, not the web page. I suspect I haven't finished the setup and there is a simple directive that I've not included in the .conf file, which currently contains only: User webuser Group webgroup ServerName spyder DocumentRoot /web/site.burps But I'm too impatient to read the entire book first.
