Re: ftp in user-mode.
FWIW, I find hose and faucet useful. I commonly use two scripts to
do simple file transfer. 'tar' is the protocol.. ;)
wwserve.sh:
---
#!/bin/bash
if [ $1 == ]; then
echo Usage: `basename $0` [tar options] files
else
echo -e Starting faucet...\n
faucet 12345 --verbose --out --once tar -cvf- $@
fi
---
wwget.sh:
---
#!/bin/bash
if [ $1 = ]; then
echo Usage: `basename $0` remotehost [tar options/files to get]
else
remotehost=${1}; shift
hose ${remotehost} 12345 --in tar -xvf- $@
fi
---
Notes:
. no security is provided with this
. the serve script is set to --once, ie. services one request and
terminates
. you'll want to change the port listed here, 12345 *grin*.. (no, I
don't actually use that).
. hose and faucet are part of a package called (?)netpipes in
Slackware
This is uni-directional. I don't know what your need is. You could
put a evil twin on 12346 to receive files.

Where can i find a a very simple ftp program to run inside a shell account
in user-mode. features seeked:
different port then 23,21 whatever so it won't run into the existing ftp daemon.

solved - (was iptables - Mandrake 9.0)
Hi, I'm answering my own post, since the solution may help someone else. I discovered that iptables refuses to run when ipchains is also active. Disableing ipchains solved the problem. The error messages from iptables were really not helpful. :-( And I didn't find any mention of this in the documentation (although I may have missed it). BTW - thanks to Tzafrir who tried to help (off the list). On 10-Dec-2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi, I just installed MDK 9.0 and I'm having a problem with iptables.

Mozilla problem
I don't know if these are Mozilla or Mandrake problems. After installing MDK9.0, I decided to try Mozilla 1.1 - **out of the box**. 1 - I can reach any site I want, and so long as I click on links, everything works. But if I enter any info (for instance a search string in GOOGLE), nothing happens. I can press the ENTER key or click on the SEARCH button, but no info gets sent. 2 - I have another problem. The location bar doesn't have any history. Ths is true for regular users only. When I tried root, the history worked fine. I tried all the confguration menues but didn't find the problem. any ideas?

Mandrake 9.0 is fantastic
I don't want to start a distro war, but as a satisfied Mandrake user since 7.0, I have to say that MDK 9.0 is really greatly improved. The installation and hardware identification is much better and almost everything has been improved in some way. The Conrol panel is easier to use. My scanner was automatically identified and ready to use, etc, etc. I've had almost no problems. (the problem I wrote about yesterday - iptables - was probably not Mandrake specific). //- Shlomo Solomon E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Date: 12-Dec-2002 Time: 23:27:35 Message sent by XFMail on a LINUX Mandrake 8.1 machine //- = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Blessed Religious Wars [Was: Mandrake 9.0 is fantastic]
snip religious stuff Chazal said: Kin'at Sofrim Tarbe Hochma. /snip What I really miss in Open Source? What does it lack? Open Source offers almost everything we need. Actually, much more than we need: - You need a text editor? - No problem; We have emacs for you, we have vi, etc. Just take one. - You need a desktop management environment? - No problem; We have KDE, GNOME, etc. - Need a distro? - RedHat, Mandrake, Debian, SuSE, etc. - A database? - MySQL, PostgreSQL, SAP, Interbase, etc. The real thing that is missing, is the opposite one. We have a problem of rich men: too many choices. How should I choose my choices? Should I try all the options and then decide? It's impossible! Should I see what the authors have to say about their own package? They are not objective! For example, I spent this week trying to choose my future CGI C library. This decision is strategic, and I'm not going to migrate from one library to another in the future, so I must choose right. Now, there are at least 10 different Open Source libraries, ranging from GCGI, LibCGI, CGIC, HostCGI, to ECGI, TCGI, libapreq, etc. What should I do I also had to choose a C toolkit for indexed records file. There were NDBM, GDBM, SDBM and Berkeley (finally I chose APR-UTIL abstract library which is built on top of those 4...). Sometimes, there is no best choice vs. worst choice, but a choice for specific cases, vs. a choice for other specific cases. For example, some people claim that if you need transactions, then PostgreSQL is better for you, while if you don't need them, MySQL is better (I don't claim it, but only give (possibly wrong) example). There are about hundred (100) areas where competing Open Source packages compete with each other, and in each of these areas there are 2, 3, 4 and sometime even 7-10 competing packages. There is even no problem to find all these packages: freshmeat.net does a great job. SourceForge may help too, as well as Google and others. The real need is an objective site that will scan an area by area, and in each area will compare the different choices. Readers will be able to note (like in Slashdot). Maybe even with notes rating like Slashdot (and maybe even using Slashdot's engine, which is Open Source too). This site may be called ReligiousWars.something, and will enjoy a high rating from its first day (because people CARE about religious wars). So contrary to typical Dot.Com initiatives, this one has great chances to succeed. Somebody to take the glove?

The usual sequence of events is that when you have 10 options for a library, 7-8 of them die out, and you are left with two. That's what happened in the desktop env (anyone still seriously using GNUStep? fvwm?) It's a good thing. Noone likes investing money in a product that doesn't take off, and noone will invest coding efforts (at least, not over time) in a product that noone uses. Very little products can survive without active maintanance (with qmail being the only noteable exception I can think of), and so even in the OpenSource world, if a product is abandoned, it will die out. One thing you should note, however, is that in this world, if a product dies out, you are not left out in the cold when something breaks.
