Anybody know of a simple way of piping data from an LPD server to an SFTP
server? I've banged together a simple filter that works, but I was just
wondering if I even need to do that.
Thanks much,

Depending on the functionality you require, you could consider
pure-ftpd. For example, it can be configured to run a command/script
every time a file upload completes.

Actually, you might get more efficient swap activity if you have 4 1 GB
swap areas on 4 different devices. That way you're not single threading to
a single device. While you're at it, if you have VM, allocate a VM minidisk
in memory, say maybe 64 megabytes, and give THAT a higher swap priority
Management here is getting serious about a support contract for linux on
the mainframe, and asked me to poll reasons why people/organizations may
have chosen one distro over the other on s/390 (specifically RedHat vs
SuSE). In the archives most of the arguments in favor of redhat revolve
around:
Hello,
From my experience with a customer in Luxembourg, Suse were
quite prompt in answering E-Mail requests / queries etc.
Another (not unimportant) point - Nuernberg is not very far from
Stuttgart which is not very far from IBM

As others have already stated, absolutely. I have to wonder, though, just
what kind of performance is going to be achieved if a single Linux/390
system ever has 4GB of storage actually swapped out. That sounds pretty,
ummm, _slow_ to me.

To a certain extent, but think about it. 7GB (Sergey says 7GB, so I'll go

My two cents:
At this point the differences between the two distributions are fairly
negligable. It seems that in the beginning, SuSE had the distinct advantage.
but now it just seems like a leap frog of versions and levels. SuSE seems to be
somewhat of an early adopter, but the pavlovian

You need to be root to do that. One user cannot change file ownerships to

I believe the ability to give away a file that you intially own is a
posix-ism. Not having a copy of the spec handy to look at, I can't cite

Why ? The systems which allow the non-privileged use of chown drops the
setgid and setuid bits when changing the owner.

Do all of them? Because, yes, that's the hole I was thinking of.

yuck. coming from HP-UX, it allows you to give a file to another
owner.
So install sudo and give those users the right to use chown without any
password. Adding something like alias chown='sudo chown'. Linux drops
the setuid and setgid bits when changing ownership.

I would not bet on the all. It is too easy to get bitten by that one :)
But iirc POSIX requires that for unprivileged use. (there is no standard
for privileged use).
