xinetd, tcpd (tcpwrappers), twist
Greetings friends. Perhaps someone here can help me. (BTW -- a CC
would sure be nice, if you reply. :)
I am trying to build a short and sweet http redirector using the
twist function from hosts_options(5). I did this before, with ftp,
and inetd. Trouble is, now I am using a machine with xinetd
(Version 2.1.8.9pre11) and I cannot get the service to be used
twice -- it works once, then xinetd quits!
The xinetd.d directory entry I am using contains:
service httpd-redir
{
identifier = httpd-redir
port= 6080
protocol= tcp
type= UNLISTED
flags = NAMEINARGS
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user= root
server = /usr/sbin/tcpd
server_args = /usr/sbin/in.httpd-redir
log_on_failure += USERID
}
The /etc/hosts.allow file contains:
in.httpd-redir : ALL : twist echo -en 'Hi'
(It used to be much more complex and working, but this is simple
enough that it should not fail.)
When running xinetd with: xinetd -reuse -pidfile /var/run/xinetd.pid -d
I get error messages thus: 00/12/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:14:47: DEBUG: {main_loop}
select returned 1
The whole bit says:

crontab + "xset dpms"
Greetings fellow debheads; I would like to set my monitor power off times to be different during the night than during the day. To this end, I have added the following lines to my crontab (output with crontab -l): 0 10 * * * xset dpms 3600 0 0 30 0 * * * xset dpms 300 0 0 I have blank lines at the end of my crontab file. I never log out of X. I do use xscreensaver; it has an auto-enable time of ten minutes with locking. Other lines in my crontab file get run (two include an Esetroot to change my root background in X every two hours) -- so I am rather mystified why this won't change the timeout values. Using these commands by hand works just fine. Any thoughts or ideas? Thanks :) (no, I don't get email about it -- but that is because, when openldap broke, it was a whole lot easier to remove MTAs than to fix the ldap. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?

AFAICT, deleting the bits not needed for the other architectures won't harm a thing -- not a running system. It *might* bite you when you build a new kernel, but from my perousal of the main linux Makefile, I think it is smart enough to ignore whatever isn't needed for your system. You can gain roughly 15 megs this way, (perhaps more due to slack space in the clusters on the hard drive.. :) so it might be worth a shot. And, if it doesn't work, you can always redownload the kernel sources. But, it won't affect a running system. Only when you try to compile *might* it give errors. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam? See http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ for help Hi! I'm a .signature virus!

I like the idea of making things smaller, but at what cost?

I am not sure this is possible in quite the form you wish it to take: packages that have references to other processors in their documentation would require several different versions of their documentation, one for each processor. As for the kernel, my quick glance through looked like you could save 15.2 megs by removing the non-i386 entries in the arch and include directories. I could write a quick little script to be applied after downloading the new kernel source to delete all those in a real hurry. > 2.

If I am not mistaken, if you don't install locales, you don't get the extra languages, but .. I could be very wrong. However, I don't think that translations lead to huge packages -- my /usr/share/locale directory contains some 14.6 megs. > 3.

This I admit would be sort of slick -- perhaps there should be a "copyrights" directory off of /usr/share/doc/ that contains the entries "GNU" "Artistic" "BSD" "XFree86" "Mozilla" and packages could symlink their copyright to one of those entries, if it matches exactly. On my computer, the largest copyright doc I have is 16539 bytes. I have 409 of them under /usr/share/doc/*/copyright, so if we are fairly pessimistic, that is upwards to 6.7 megs. (There seem to be more many more small ones than large ones, so I think this is a very gross overestimate, but YMMV.) Of course, some packages just don't fall directly under one of those main ones, so some will still get their own copyright file. So, we are looking at saving upwards of 6 megs or so for this idea -- but symlinks still take 512bytes at minimum, right? So it isn't quite that cut and dry.. > Will these ever be a feature of debconf or some such application? I am > not wanting to create a new distribution, only streamline my > installation.

These several ideas have saved roughly 35.8 megs, or about 1% of your hard drive space. I am not sure we need to put precious programmer time into these little optimizations, when a ~15 line shell script could save .5% of your hard drive space, and not installing the locales package could save another .5%. The other bit possible to be saved with copyrights takes quite a bit more work, and would seem non-trivial to me -- we would probably have a large discussion about the viability of it, two or three proposals would be put forth describing the transition period, and after a bit, we might have a consensus on which way would be best. All that time, to save a few megabytes? If you wanted the symlink route, perhaps the thing to do would be to package the various copyright documents into a package (copyrights? :) each with their own name (gpl.v1 gpl.v2 artistic bsd etc...) and offer to package maintainers they could change their packages to use symlinks -- assuming policy doesn't require the actual copyright document instead of symlinks. (I think avoiding hardlinks would be a good idea -- that way, vrms could quickly check the ratios of gpl versus artistic, etc -- who knows if it is useful, but it would be fun all the same. :) In conclusion, I am not sure it is worth all that programmer time to gain perhaps 35 megs of disk space, especially when other programmers put quite a bit more time into making our machines language-flexible and processor flexible. You can save that 35 megs a lot faster by not installing emacs, or X, or tetex or something else similarly large. Of course, don't let me stop you from putting together the various programs to do this; saving hard drive space is a worthy goal, and if you fe

uucp/rmail -- urgently need help!
Ok lists, I desperatly need your help. I have been tasked with moving the company's email from a modem-based uucp to a tcp/ip based uucp. We will make the firewall our mx, and I have sendmail installed on it. uucp can copy files (over tcp/ip) between speedy (an SCO 5.0.5, running sco's honeydanber uucp) and scorch (a linux firewall, taylor uucp, sendmail 8.9.3, mostly a hand-rolled machine from before I met debian). This error message from scorch's logs is the one causing the trouble: uuxqt speedy mmdf (2000-01-13 16:25:00.10 21228) ERROR: Not permitted to execute rmail Here is the entry for speedy in my /etc/uucp/sys file: system speedy timeAny address 192.168.0.5 portTCP chatogin uuscorch ord big_secret commandsrmail,uux If you have any ideas, I would *LOVE* to hear them -- the sooner the better.

"etho: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000."
Hello again! :) While trying to setup a dual celeron machine to run MASQ with a friend, we ran into an insurmountable problem. He has two D-LINK 530TX network cards, which are listed as supported on the SuSE.com webpage, and they seem to take the via-rhine module in 2.0 and 2.2 just fine, except we get this dreaded error message at boot: eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000. We put his win95's 3c905b into the machine, and it can get on the network just fine using the 3c59x module; adding only one D-LINK with the 3c905b gives those error messages (when it was two D-LINK cards, I think the error message was the same, but silly me, forgot to write it down! ugh.) Does anyone know how to tackle this? We just downloaded and installed kernel 2.2.12 from ftp.kernel.org.

Re: One last time: smail problem

I do rather like the idea of secure-kernel-info, as Marcin has described it, but it needs a better name; secure-kernel just won't do it. kernel-update-watcher perhaps. However, if security is enough of an issue for you that you think a kernel package should be made around it, maybe you should keep an eye on bugtraq and freshmeat, or a cron-job to grab the LATEST-VERSION-IS file from the kernel.org servers -- no matter which approach is taken, it will be faster than waiting for a new kernel package to come along... -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?

However, there are many machines where things are wierd, wild, wacky, and the kernel-builder needs to take special effort to get the kernel to work on their machine. Another reason why it shouldn't be replaced with every apt-get upgrade is that software can only be replaced when it is not running. The kernel will never not be running -- so it takes effect at reboot. I *HATE* changing things that affect the booting process and then waiting a while to reboot; if something I did broke the boot process, I am not sure I would remember it three weeks down the road, when the power goes out and I have to turn the machine off since UPS only last so long.. :) Kernels are just too special to do this. *MAYBE* the hurd will have this option.

Re: Gateway E-4200 install probs
Steve, I can let you know what I have learned -- the 3c59x.c file included with the kernel (even 2.2.12) is old and out of date. You need to go to Donald Becker's webpage (cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov, iirc) and download the 0.99L or newer version of the 3c59x.c file, replace the 3c59x.c file that comes with the kernels, remake, recompile, and install. Rumor has it that the new driver is in 2.2.13pre? -- so 2.2.13 should have it. Again, *rumor has it that*... so, you won't need to go through this hassle always, just for a little while longer.

Of course, after seeing thousands of packages, all with a README file, not many people are going to make their own package with a different name, say ReadMe, or readME, etc -- since no one looks for those files. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?

Re: dhcpcd error "sendto (init): Operation not permitted"
Chris -- try giving eth0 an IP address. I *think* that *may* have helped me. Also, replace dhcpcd with dhcp-client-beta.

Re: Mixing binary installation with installation from source code
Tom, if you throw things in /usr/local, apt (as well as dpkg, dselect, etc..) promise to leave those things alone. The gnome configure script probably supports --prefix=/usr/local -- that doesn't mean it will be seamless, but it shouldn't be too bad. :) On Mon, Sep 27, 1999 at 07:57:38AM -0400, Thomas Epperly wrote: > I am relatively new to Linux, so please forgive me if I am asking a stupid > question.

Jonas, what happens if you leave off the root= bit?
I am getting at, boot using nothing but the rescue disk. It ought to be
enough to get you to a prompt, from there you can mount /mnt /dev/hda7 and
play around with things in there

Eric, the one change that tcpdump does is send your network card into promiscuous mode. I would imagine that linux would learn more about the network and is willing to figure things out more on its own. You might want to see if unconfiguring the cisco as dhcp server fixes anything. Your cisco might not be happy about talking to a client that supplies its own IP address. just some thoughts, not much. -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?

two monitors
Ok guys -- I have a second monitor, and wouldn't mind buying a second video card if it would allow me to use two monitors at the same time. I don't know where to start looking for information on this. My current video card is an AGP ATI [EMAIL PROTECTED] I am running XFree86 Mach64 3.3.5-1. Do you guys have any suggestions for a second video card (I think it would need to be PCI... :) Or, should I just buy a new video card that can handle two video outputs? Do such things exist? (Can I afford them? :) Any hints you have would be appreciated. :) Thanks -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam? See http://maps.vix.com/rbl/ for help Hi!

Re: video modes for X11
Paul, it is likely that your monitor is running in interlace mode to get that resolution. I think the right way to fix it is to look up in the manual (or the ini file, if it is legible) the horizontal refresh, verticle refresh, as well as what your video card can do, and using XF86Setup or xf86config tell X the correct values. It should generate the mode lines for you automatically. Of course, if this is what you did On Sat, Sep 25, 1999 at 03:13:07PM +0800, Paul Harris wrote: > hi, > > my lovely 17" monitor has a grainy-liney appearance when in 1280x1024 > mode, however its perfectly clear under windows. i have the .ini file that > windows uses but am unsure how to set up the x11 modelines... can anyone > help? > > thanks, > Paul > > > "If you can't make it good, make it look good." > Bill Gates, 1995 > > > -- > Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?

Re: Utility for "talking" to TCP port
Such things do exist. If your needs are minimal, telnet *might* be enough. You can "telnet localhost 80" and see what it does. Netcat, on the other hand, is exactly what you are looking for, and will probably do a wonderful job.

Re: Root password
I haven't tried this myself... but, I seem to recall that if you pass linux "single" on the boot line (at the lilo prompt, etc..) it will boot into a single-user mode; within that you should be able to "passwd root". If you have shadowpasswords installed, getting a crack to work will be very difficult -- you need root access to get at that file, and the setuid root programs are generally not so poorly programmed that they will give away /etc/shadow so easily. hth On Fri, Sep 24, 1999 at 01:36:19PM +0800, Lyle Hart wrote: > Does anyone know what to do if you don't know the root password.

Re: portscan: sunrpc etc...
Just a quick warning -- killall functions quite nicely under linux. But, don't try it under other versions of unix as superuser, since it often does kill*all*. As for the services... discard throws away everything that hits it -- /dev/null ported to tcp/ip sockets. :) daytime tells the date and time (Thu Sep 23 12:42:13 1999). Time I don't know exactly how it works, I get one of the french quotes when I try to telnet to that port on my machine, and auth is identd -- used sometimes for irc, printing, email, that sort of stuff, though many people disable it, and there are many ways under windows to replace it entirely with bogus info without requiring administrator access -- so most people don't trust it. (and don't you hate 'inetd' 'init' and 'identd' ??)

Re: true type fonts and xfstt (again)
Hmm. My next thought -- and I must apologize for asking -- have you actually installed ttf files into /usr/share/fonts/truetype? And, are they named *ttf? I got many of mine from a DOS machine, and it had many TTF files that I renamed to ttf. (my machine has a nifty rename script, written by larry wall in perl, and expanded upon by others, that does the renaming job very nicely... :) BTW, the *.fon files are not true-type. They are windows bitmap fonts. If you have any of these in your /usr/share/fonts/truetype directory, it might not hurt to delete them. I would hope such a silly thing wouldn't prevent xfstt from working, but one never knows. hth :) On Thu, Sep 23, 1999 at 06:39:38AM -0400, Aaron Stromas wrote: > seth, > > i've read and followed the faq before i asked for advice. the xfontsel > -pattern > found no matches. xcoral is not on my system - what is it? > > -a > > Seth R Arnold wrote: > > > Aaron, there is a bit more involved than just adding it to the config files. > > here is the relevant section snipped from /usr/doc/xfstt/FAQ.gz: > > > > 1.1 How do I test it? > > mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype and put some *ttf fonts there, now > > run > > > > make xfstt && make install > > xfstt --sync > > xfstt & > > xset fp+ unix/:7101 > > xlsfonts > > xcoral -fn "TTM20_Times New Roman" > > xfontsel -pattern "-*-*-*-*-*-tt-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" > > xset -fp unix/:7101 > > > > If your X server cannot handle the unix protocol replace the > > unix/:7101 part by inet/127.0.0.1:7101 (assuming the machine > > running xfstt has 127.0.0.1 as internet address). > > > > 1.2 How do I use it? > > Add unix/:7101 to the fontpath in your X11 configuration file. > > Start xfstt a few seconds before starting X11. > > > > Once you do these things, it will probably work nicer. :) > > > > On Wed, Sep 22, 1999 at 08:54:19AM -0400, Aaron Stromas wrote: > > > hi, > > > > > > in an attempt to use the true type fonts i installed the xfstt, copied > > > the fonts from a windows machine and added "FontPath "unix/:7101" to my > > > XF86Config. unfortunately, my X server will not start. it quits with > > > "could not open default font 'fixed'". > > > > > > i have also tried this: 1) commented out the unix:7101 font path, 2) > > > started x, 3) started xfstt (xfstt &), 4) added font path (xset fp+ > > > unix/:7101), and 5) ran xfontsel -pattern "-*-*-*-*-tt-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" > > > which produced "no match". it appears, i'm not getting the true type > > > fonts. > > > > > > any explanations of what is wrong and how to correct the problem would > > > be much appreciated. > > > > > > also, the windows font directory contain a bunch of *.fon which 'file' > > > says is ms-dos executable. what is it? it has 8514fix.fon, so maybe it > > > has something to do with the fixed font. quite a few font names are > > > capitalised, does it matter? > > > > > > please, cc me, as for a variety of reasons, i'm not currently on the > > > list. tia, > > > > > > -a > > > > > > -- > > > Aaron Stromas | "Tick-tick-tick!!!... ja, Pantani is weg" > > > Oracle Corp. | BRTN commentator, > > > +1 703 708 6821 | L'Alpe d'Huez, 1995 Tour de France > > > > > > > Content-Description: Card for Aaron Stromas > > > > -- > > Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ > > Hate spam?

Re: true type fonts and xfstt (again)
Aaron, there is a bit more involved than just adding it to the config files. here is the relevant section snipped from /usr/doc/xfstt/FAQ.gz: 1.1 How do I test it? mkdir /usr/share/fonts/truetype and put some *ttf fonts there, now run make xfstt && make install xfstt --sync xfstt & xset fp+ unix/:7101 xlsfonts xcoral -fn "TTM20_Times New Roman" xfontsel -pattern "-*-*-*-*-*-tt-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" xset -fp unix/:7101 If your X server cannot handle the unix protocol replace the unix/:7101 part by inet/127.0.0.1:7101 (assuming the machine running xfstt has 127.0.0.1 as internet address). 1.2 How do I use it? Add unix/:7101 to the fontpath in your X11 configuration file. Start xfstt a few seconds before starting X11. Once you do these things, it will probably work nicer. :) On Wed, Sep 22, 1999 at 08:54:19AM -0400, Aaron Stromas wrote: > hi, > > in an attempt to use the true type fonts i installed the xfstt, copied > the fonts from a windows machine and added "FontPath "unix/:7101" to my > XF86Config. unfortunately, my X server will not start. it quits with > "could not open default font 'fixed'". > > i have also tried this: 1) commented out the unix:7101 font path, 2) > started x, 3) started xfstt (xfstt &), 4) added font path (xset fp+ > unix/:7101), and 5) ran xfontsel -pattern "-*-*-*-*-tt-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*" > which produced "no match". it appears, i'm not getting the true type > fonts. > > any explanations of what is wrong and how to correct the problem would > be much appreciated. > > also, the windows font directory contain a bunch of *.fon which 'file' > says is ms-dos executable. what is it? it has 8514fix.fon, so maybe it > has something to do with the fixed font. quite a few font names are > capitalised, does it matter? > > please, cc me, as for a variety of reasons, i'm not currently on the > list. tia, > > -a > > -- > Aaron Stromas | "Tick-tick-tick!!!... ja, Pantani is weg" > Oracle Corp. | BRTN commentator, > +1 703 708 6821 | L'Alpe d'Huez, 1995 Tour de France > Content-Description: Card for Aaron Stromas -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?

Re: telnet to my machine (cont)
'ssh' is "secure shell". Think encrypting all the data that passes between two computers. It does more than that, but that is what it is known for. You can tunnel any other connections through it, such as X, whatever. Encrypted, authenticated. Its nice. http://www.ssh.fi/sshprotocols2/ has more information. You can install it on your (recent) system by typing: apt-get update apt-get install ssh2 :) On Wed, Sep 22, 1999 at 11:45:25AM +0200, Manuel Arenaz Silva wrote: > Hello, > > I really want the telnet service installed.

Re: VMware+DOS network
You would need some programs with names such as: ne2000.exe (or whatever driver is needed for the card vmware emulates) lsl.exe odi.exe in addition to the netware client programs.

Re: [Linux: CD] How to make ???
Heh, 'lite' and {KDE, StarOffice, Netscape, GIMP} do not seem to be words
that I would associate... :) KDE takes up much space and depends on qt,
netscape, well, I don't know what it takes, StarOffice seems to take over
141 megs on my system, the installer is 80 megs, GIMP depends on gtk... It
all adds up quickly.
If you plan on distributing this CD, the licences might require you to make
available CDs with the sources for these programs. They might not. Please do
check up on this... :)
When I think of the things that I would like to have on a CD, I think a gcc
might be nice to have. For the ftp client, I would suggest ftp, lftp, and
ncftp. There might be nice X based ones, but I don't know.. You might want
to include some of the nice documentation (eg, programming languages,
HOWTOs, etc..) if space is left.
But, when you can get a two cd set from cheapbytes, why make your own? :)

Q: X11, two boxes
Ok, time for another question. :) I have two potato machines; amidala has monitor, keyboard, all the usuals. sarnold has no such nice features. It only knows about the world via the network. I use ssh2 to login to sarnold, and export DISPLAY=amidala:0.0 -- from there, I traditionally like to run netscape, though I have noticed this with other programs. If I try to run netscape from amidala, after having starting netscape on sarnold, it does not actually run a second copy locally -- it just asks for another window from the remotely running netscape. While this has its niceties (wmnetselect still works! :) one of them is communicator, the other navigator, and I have two seperate set of bookmarks (mainly since the ld.so bug the other day caused my amidala netscape to stop working.. :) Is this normal X11 behavior, to refer back to the netscape running from the remote machine, but DISPLAYing locally? Or is it netscape specific? Is there any way around it? (I am still trying to figure out *why* I wanted both netscapes running at once... :) Thanks for your time. :) -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?

Re: mutt: help with saving a messge to a different folder
Shao, a thought just struck me. You could use symlinks to move your email folders around a bit -- so mutt only sees a symlink to them. The mutt on my redhat server (blasted...:) doesn't lstat() the symlinks, it just stat()s them. This might be the thing you need, since procmail should be smart enough to deliver through symlinks, and mutt won't bother trying to stat() them for info -- maybe this is the thing to do.

Re: Exit icon for wmaker?
Well, if all else fails, you could have it run a script that will killall wmaker. Perhaps that isn't so ugly. But probably it is ugly. I do hope someone knows a nicer way, but the way it exits (on my system in /etc/X11/WindowMaker/menu) looks like it is built into the root menu in a very fundamental way.

Well, if you want to, you can replace it with xinetd. Its config files are different. But.. I hear it has more options. One commonly used extension to inetd is tcpwrappers. This helps quite a bit... (heh, debian's unstable has at least two replacements for inetd: $ apt-cache search xinetd rlinetd - gruesomely over-featured inetd replacement xinetd - replacement for inetd with many enhancements There is also this thingy: rinetd - Internet redirection server I don't know if it can replace inetd or not.. So, the toys exist to replace inetd already, if you want.

Well, I do know quark -- and LaTeX is MUCH nicer than quark in many ways -- it can do so much more than quark can ever hope to do. However, quark is a GUI-based desktop publishing program, and LaTeX is not a GUI. It also forces one to structure their work a little better, whereas quark lets you just throw things around. *maybe* lyx, a frontend for latex will do what you want it to do.

Well, programs that init starts normally ARE daemons. Programs that inetd starts could often serve as daemons if they were to be so configured. Low-requirement webservers, or low-requirement ftp servers can run this way, telnetd runs this way usually, most anything can run that way. For servers that take a lot of overhead to start, however, they normally get started by the boot scripts once, and then run from there forever. (hehe. :) So, if you meant 'init', there really isn't any difference. If you meant 'inetd', then the inetd ones are run on demand, and the daemons (started usually from rc scripts) run all the time. hth... -- Seth Arnold | http://www.willamette.edu/~sarnold/ Hate spam?

Re: sblive skips?
Aaron, it isn't the fault of windows, nor the fault of linux. If I recall, there is a FAQ at www.winamp.com that describes this situation. Basically, your PCI bus gives the cycles to the videocard when it needs them, and lets the chips fall where they may -- which means skipping during audio playback for the soundcard. Why it is more prevalent under windows is the Smooth Scrolling micros~1 introduced a little while back -- that sucks up the video bandwidth like nuts, and takes away from sound bandwidth. I wish I knew how to fix it.

Re: Multiplexing /dev/dsp
The esound enlightened sound daemon offers this sort of thing in software. I think the commercial version of oss/linux (www.opensound.org, right?) offers this ability too. And, if you have a nice new pci soundcard that does this stuff natively, the proper drivers should make it go quite nicely, but honestly I do not know if such drivers exist for linux.

Re: Round about the way question.
Marc-Adrian, I think this can best be described by the philosophy of the various operating systems. Micros~1's Vision Statement is, "A computer on every desktop." They have darn near nailed that one. Part of the remaining half of US households without computers includes the elderly, the poor, the overworked. The *only* way for them to tackle that bit of the market segment is by making machines work right out of the box. It doesn't matter so much to Micros~1 whether or not it works *well* out the box. That is where Linux, FreeBSD, etc come into play. It isn't enough for things to work out of the box -- users that are attracted to these operating systems would like to tweak things themselves, including who their nameservers are. I like tweaking this, since I set up a caching nameserver for myself (thanks to the nice maintainer, it really was a piece of cake -- apt-get install bind will do it.. :) and have THAT nameserver ask the three that serve my university for IPs -- so that in the future, my second computer has them cached, and no costly (heh, 10-20ms? :) lookups are involved whenever I need a different IP. This level of flexibility is unheard of in Windows -- but under Windows, the nameservers do not enter into any equations, as far as the home user is concerned. You can debate whether it is good or bad. Windows has its place (ask Linus! He has even been quoted as saying, "If you want to play games, use Windows. Games run very well under Windows." heheh. [does anyone have the exact quote? I know I messed that up..] :) As for me, I will be using Unix for as long as it is feasible. I hope I die before the end of Unix. (hehe.
