NIS issues

2000-04-02 Thread Nick Cabatoff
I keep getting mail on some slink machines from cron jobs, e.g. the test -f /proc/modules /sbin/rmmod -a one. They contain the single line: yp_all: clnt_call: RPC: Unable to receive; errno = Connection reset by peer Anyone know what this signifies, how NIS gets involved in such a simple

Unusual Lilo LI problem

2000-04-02 Thread Marc Moody
I've recently install a new potato system that's been working well for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I compiled a custom kernel (2.2.14) (installed using make-kpkg), and now I can't boot my Linux drive. I CAN boot using the rescue floppy, and everything works fine. Normally the LI problem was

Thanks guys. I indeed got the quotes wrong and also the space in between the two arguments. This worked fine: for x in *; do mv $x `echo $x | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`; done Another lesson learnt: watch `em quotes. Using mmv is fine, but my purpose is to learn some plain shell scripting. I'm slowly

Backspace acts like delete in X

I've heard that this was a commom Debian problem but Ive never experienced it before. When in X my backspace key deletes to the right of the cursor instead of the left. In console or in an xterm it's normal. I can't seem to find anything to edit in /etc/X11/XF86Config to change this. Any ideas

Hmm; the actual emphasis lies on connections which are currently masqueraded. The word open was filled-in for you by your already-existing understanding of what's going on; it's not present in the text I was poring over and that you've quoted. My understanding had reached this far:
