RE: Multiple GLIBCs
Hi Gilad I tried the dual installation of glibc-2.2 and glibc-2.3. rpm -ivh fails the upgrade because the depend on their glibc-common packages (which don't want each other whatsoever). When I installed glibc with --nodeps I got a fine list of file conflicts. It seems like it's not intended to work. It seems like my only resort is to create a compat- RPM which only installs the stuff under /lib.

Upgrading to glibc-2.2 on RH62

RE: Wondering about free software.
you can give the software itself for free if you like (good gimmick!), but what about installation and ongoing support? business software always needs guidance, support, installation and upgrades. charge for it. Windows is the exact example of software that doesn't come with support, and even though it wasn't open-sourced, it was very easy to (illegally) copy.

HiThis is my example of
pthread not releasing memory resources when the threadfunction exits (I would REALLY like to have that memory
back).I have written (copied and modified...) a small program that creates 200threads
which exit after 10 seconds.The main function then sleeps for 20 seconds,
allowing me/you to ps aux |grep progname to see the big vsize
increase.You can clearly see (below the source) that even though the
functions exit,memory is not released. Both
the vsize and the rss stay the same.I am supposed to call a
certain function to have the memory released?

Image merging utlility
Hi I need to combine an image with some text and make a tiff file for sending it via fax, therefore, I require a utlility that can merge and image with text on postscript, or do it on a tiff page. tiffcp is no good. It puts the image on the first page, and I still haven't found a ps library that works on perl. Does anybody know of a library/utlility that can do that?

Re: 2.4.4
I have run the 2.4.4 kernel and runs flawlessly.
As for what you stated on XFS, true, butit you don't use XFS,
then you wouldn't need any of the XFS tools, as with many other kernel
features.
For example: How many people install ipchains, or ipvsadm on kernel
2.2? Still, the kernel manages to do very well without them. These user
tools are needed for control of these subsystems and when they don't
exist, the kernel has a default behavior (such as, being able to mount XFS
partitions).

this spesific version.There may be a different compiler, glibc,
etc., in Cooker vs. 8.0. I suppose you'll want to compile it
yourself. Either download the -source rpm and build it, or
(probably a better option) download the source rpm, extract it,
and run 'rpm -bp path/to/kernel.spec' . This will extract the
kernel and apply all of the patches. The atvantage here
is that by tweaking the spec file you can try to add or remove
certain patches ("try": because some patches depend on other
patches, and may need to be changed in order to be applied properly
after another patch was removed. Still, it is worth a
try).I'll do it.Thanks!-- Eli

Re: IP Chains Rules
I had the same thing with bezeqint on ISDN. Everything went well until they installed a POP proxy (MiraPoint). I know that Internet Gold uses the same equipment and have the same problems with few of their customers. Fortunately, I have overcome this issue and can advise you to do one of the following: 1. Call inetgold and ask their support personell to tell you the IP address of the exact mail server you need to connect to. 2. Play with your MTU/MRU settings - after a while bezeqint blocked direct access to the POP servers by forwarding them to the proxy using their firewalls, and changing my MTU to 1152 (or was it 716?) did the trick. Your MTU is probably 1500 or 1499 if you didn't change it, so you can have a go with this.

Re: ppp0 ppp1 ppp2 ...
Assuming you need the link's name for identifying/killing purposes, you can use the linkname option in pppd. pppd will create a dynamic name (such as ppp0, ppp1, etc) but you could find it's pid info from /var/run/pppd-linkname.pid and the dynamic ppp name it has assigned. The /etc/ip-up script will also have a $LINKNAME env variable which will assist you in finding the link itself.

Sun's javacomm-20 is still only supporting Window and Solaris RS232. We
tested it recently. My advice is to look at IBM's implementation rather
than that on java.sun.com. It seems to me that Sun is interested in making
reference implementations and leaving it to the Java licensees (like IBM)
to do the other platforms. As far as I know, Linux has no one to port

Re: linux mandrake 7.1 as server?
I join the other members' advices, and add my own Mandrake specific:
When you installed the system, did you select 'high security'?
Because if you did, then it might have messesd with several
security-related files (like /etc/hosts-allow).
Try to select using DrakConf(yes it's DrakConf, not MandrakeUpdate -- what
did I take yesterday ?!) the low security option and then install the
security options you want by yourself (if you don't know how, then I guess
you'll just have to learn... anyway they only get in your way right now).
Go to DrakConf and select 'Security Level'.
Also, go to "Startup Services" and check that inetd, httpd are selected,
then reboot and check that while inetd and httpd are loading, they show
"OK" and not "FAILED".
Good luck,

MySQL client hangs when selecting 100,100 records
Hello list I have a problem regarding MySQL, and thought maybe one of you would have an idea. I'm also looking for a good discussion forum specific to MySQL if anyone knows. I tried Tek-Tips (BTW- great site design. I wish the ILUG mailing list would run on a site like this), but the MySQL forum they have there is complete abandoned. I'm running MySQL 3.2.26a and everying works nicely, except for the fact that when I issue a query which involves 3 tables, and the result should be about 100,000 records, my client hangs. I'm using BDE 5.1/Windows NT on the client side, but this query hangs even the generic MySQL client which is shipped with the distribution. All of the fields included in this clause are indexed and other than that, server performance is of great satisfactory. Issuing a SELECT query just on the CUSTOMERS table, which contains about 100,000 records works fine. I'd also like to note that I'm using a source distribution which I have recompiled to use the gnu pthreds. Here is my select clause. I wanted to post the table descriptions, but they don't appear so good upon paste. SELECT Customers.COMPANY_ID, Customers.CUSTOMER_ID, Customers.ADDRESS, Customers.NAME, Customers.SITE_ID, Sites.NAME, Buildings.ADDRESS FROM CUSTOMERS Customers, SITES Sites, BUILDINGS Buildings WHERE (Customers.COMPANY_ID = Sites.COMPANY_ID) AND (Sites.COMPANY_ID = Buildings.COMPANY_ID) AND (Sites.SITE_ID = Buildings.SITE_ID) AND ( (Customers.REPLACED '1') AND (Customers.CURRENT_STATUS = '3') ) I would love to hear any suggestions.

RE: Off-Topic: SDRAM Prices
I just need to add that unlike most of the computer parts, memory components are subject to customs. This is why memory is relatively higher in Israel than in the states. If I recall correctly, the government doesn't collect tax for microchips but do collect tax for the boards (the printed circuit it the memory is attached to). The boards change the memory module's definition from computer hardware to an electronic device. So in order to avoid these taxes, these boards are manufactured in Israel (at Israeli prices). Because of the addition of a third party (the board assembler) and the fact that not all of the memory module is manufactured by inexpensive labour, memory modules will always have higher prices in Israel than abroad (at least until the government will cancel the tax). Isaac Aaron Original message: It's off-topic, but will save much money for some of you: If you are going to spend money in the following days on a new computer or to upgrade your memory, be ware: the SDRAM prices are FALLING!

These prices reflect a drop of 60% (!) since October after the earth quake in taiwan. In the last days, the drop is even stronger, and there is a DAILY drop of 2%-3%. If there will not be another earth quake, and Y2K bug will not run millions of buyers in the last week of 1999 and the first week of 2000 to computer's stores, the prices are expected to reach $40 (64MB) and $90 (128MB) very soon (not to mention that Intel plans to cut prices drastically in mid January. But this is another story, and still too far...). Prices in Israel are still $100-$140 (64MB) and $200-$270 (128MB), but are expected to become similar to the American prices soon (you know, everything that happens there, is reaching Israel after a short delay). So if you buy memory or a computer this week, demand real prices, or delay your purchase a little if your seller insists on these crazy prices. Disclaimr: I'm not responsible for any damage, including results of another earth-quake or Y2K. Gambling on prices is like gambling in a Casino. Anyway, the current prices in Israel are crazy in any case, and paying them is like loosing your money even without gambling. -- Eli Marmor = 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] = 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]

Re: squid - an off topic issue
Hi I posted a reply to an earier message you sent. My script serves this purpose exactly. I also use squid for connectivity at my site, and even displaced the MS-Proxy by it just because it does these things better (you can associate users with dest domains and give them permissions to reach these domains ONLY and a few other scenarios). I must also add that it listens to the squid log when the server is set to httpd format, meaning that if you decide to use AUTH, the AUTH user name will also appear, and you will be able to check the hour and the user name along with the dest url to see who exactly used the server to access the server.

Re: äðãåï: Re: What did I do right?
I don't know how exactly his configuration works, but FWIW if you're using shadow passwords from a Solaris server, a user cannot ypcat passwd.adjunct, only root can. Of course, this was the purpose of shadow passwords. The shadow password system don't allow ordinary users to read the passwd file, so they won't be able to hack it. See: man 5 passwd Even an ordinary user on a local machine can't read the /etc/shadow file. And if you're going to authenticate users from a central service on the network, be it NIS or anything else, how can you prevent the sniffing problem? Short of using something totally different a la Kerberos, you can't.

What did I do right?
Hi List, While most of us, as a rule of thumb live by the rule "if it works don't fix it" - I can't seem to ignore this: I've read some time ago on the list that shadow passwords don't work over NIS. Even read it on the documentation. I wanted to set up an NIS domain on my site with two Red Hat 6.0 server - one being the master and one acting as a client. I configured yp.conf and ypserv.conf where needed, ran the makefile (created empty files where it failed to run because of missing ones; e.g.:netgroups, which I currently don't use), but it didn't work because the master server was using shadow passwords, so I went to /var/yp and ran make shadow (or shadow.byname -- don't recall exacly) and copied the file it created to /var/yp/(mydomain) AND IT WORKED. What did I do right? Is it not a NIS domain? Did I unknowingly create an NYS or an NIS+ domain? Is the nag too outdated?

Re: GNOME 2.0 and hebrew
Good for us! But before you start the party, you must remember that many software vendors promised Hebrew/BiDi support and delivered none. Watch this list's threads (and maybe Ivrix's) and see how many projects/applications started with the promise to support our weird language (we write the other way around... :-) ) and how many of them actually supported Hebrew eventually. QT 2.0 should have supported Hebrew itself (as part of the unicode support) but it doesn't. It just doesn't seem to worth the effort for those how make it (remember that Microsoft's OS and business applications' Hebrew support isn't done on pure business ground -- it doesn't really pay off for them, and they keep threating that the next version of __(whatever)__ will not be localized) If QT and GTK+ were to support Hebrew natively (without companion libraries or patches), maybe Linux wouldn't have been an underdog in this area. Every library would have been released along with the Hebrew support with Hebrew support (as opposed to Windows 9X, where we wait 3 monthes for a Hebrew version and 3 more for a localized version). Microsoft already implemented the native Bidi approach in it's application and the upcoming Windows 2000. Where are we?

Re: Kernel panic
1. Try to remove hardware components (I'd begin with some memory; My first guess is that one of your memory modules is out of order).

Israeli PC Magazine internet platform comparison
Anybody read the PC Magazine's comparison between Windows NT, Solaris and Linux which was published in this month's issue? This is the first time Linux gets this much attention on this magazine. I've read previous articles in the opinions section, mostly written by J. Seymour, and a general article about open source software, but this article gets to the facts, seeing Linux as a competitive member in the scene. This is truely a step up for Linux's credit at PC Magazine. I can only regret for the outcome of this comparison: a stict ruling for Windows NT and against Linux, leaving Solaris somewhere in the middle-top. Obviously, tests reviewed in this article were tested monthes ago (at the time of the test Kernel 2.2 was just out, and it had the TCP/IP stack bug so they had to use 2.0.35). I would expect an article of this type to be more up to date with the latest advancements. I would at lease expect the publisher to say that certain advancement have been made and if these tests were performed today, the results would have been better for Linux. Aside that, I think this article was objective and unbiased. We could forsee a better complementing review as Linux development improves with future development tools, and future kernel and web server releases. = 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]

HI
does anyone know how can I use the 'custom-baud-rate'
( option to directly give the serial port it's divisor
this lets you fine tune baud rate).

setserial is your friend.
setserial /dev/ttyS1 baud_base
Consault the manual page ('man setserial') for proper syntax
Hope it helps,

I know a former Microsoft sales-person and he just told me that 80% of Microsoft's revenues come from Office products. I assume the other 20% are divided among the OS's and the other stuff. So the Microsoft Office may have a much larger weight in M$'s decisions than you might have expected (at least *I* didn't guess this figure before he told me, I though that the OS business is what they are leaning on). Hence Microsoft's desire to treat Linux as a platform for word processors and spreadsheets. It also makes sense: Windows 98 costs $95 while Office costs about $350. Office is used almost exclusively in (surprise surprise) offices, while Windows is sold to private use too.
Using PCTV with a TV interface
I'm trying to install Linux on a computer (in my living room) that is to be connected to my television. I'm using an ATI 3D Rage II+PCTV with a composite RCA cable. When I boot the computer, the screen looks just fine, but I can't configure XFree86 to use the television. All I get is a TV out of sync. I've read the video timings HOWTO and tried to use xvidtune to manually configure it to use a vertical refresh rate that is lower than 50Hz. ATI's support site says they don't support the TV interface on operating systems other the M$ Windows, but what I read there imlies that there is only a problem when you try to connect it to a PC monitor AND a TV screen. XFree86's FAQ also answers to a question like "I get a garbled display on the monitor when I start X" with the reply "Take out the video cable, the Mach64 server doesn't work well with that". This answer makes me wonder if I should have a problem. 1. Does anybody have any expirience with that sort of configuration? 2. If ATI's PCTV doesn't work, what does?
