Sebastiaan wrote: Hi, has anyone an idea how to cross compile a kernel, so to compile a kernel for a ppc on an i386? Just curius. Greetz, Sebastiaan Hi, you'll have to set up gcc as a cross compiler and look at the patches in the kernel sources for ppc. regards Albrecht

Re: Partitions Correction

My system is a 400mhz with 128 megs of RAM and a 15 gig HD I will be running a firewall, dns, www, ftp, ssh, proxy, pop and maybe something else. What partitions would be useful?

If that box is cracked, you put the way to your other (internal) net on the plate of the cracker. regards Albrecht

My problem is that, if I am logged in to somewhere outside our network with ssh or telnet, after a little while of inactivity the gateway resets the connection and I have to reconnect. The proxy server is a Deb 2.1 with kernel 2.0.38. What should I set in its kernel if I want to keep the connection even if it's idle? (it's all the same, wherever I connect to, I get disconnected, so it's not a logoutd thing.) -- Gabor Gludovatz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sopron.hu/~ggabor/ Hi, it seems to me like a time out for idle lines. Search in th configuration files of ppp/ippp for a parameter huptimeout or so. Greetings Albrecht

Hi, You could use the shell scripts 'overwrite' and 'replace' in Kernighan and Pike, The UNIX programming environment, Chapter 5, Section 5.5, pages 154-155. Best, Raghavendra. Hi, perheps you can solve the problem with awk, where you can set variables in the script. Greetings Albrecht
