Re: AOL on linux w/o win4lin or vmware

Persuade AOL Corporation to release the source code, tweak it as needed, and compile it under the Linux libraries. (Sorry! I couldn't resist that.;-). Outside of that, AOL is a Windows-based application, and there is simply no way to get it to run under Linux without running it inside a Windows emulator like WINE, Win4Lin, or VMWare. There are however, many Linux programs that emulate the functions of much of AOL, such as instant messaging and chat (ircii, gnomeicu and X-Chat come to mind), if this would help. Additionally, some of AOL's sections are accessible using any web browser. So, while you might not be able to run AOL and have its convenience, you could achieve the functional equivalent of much of it under Linux, while avoiding ALL of its problems.

Directory write permissions -- fail
I've been trying to understand permissions on directories, but am having trouble with the write permission. As I understand it, read permission (r--r--r--) on a directory allows the contents to be listed, write (-w--w--w-) allows files to be added/deleted, and execute (--x--x--x) allows access to the file contents. To test this, I created a directory, foo, and put three files in it: foo1, foo2, foo3 (contents: this is foo1/2/3). I gave these files rwxrwxrwx permissions to prevent file permission problems. Then I changed the foo directory permissions to r--r--r--. I could list the files, but not do anything else like add/delete or less the file contents. This is as it should be. Then I changed the directory permissions to --x--x--x. I could list the file contents using less, but could not do anything else like ls -al foo, or add/delete a file, as should be. But when I changed the directory permissions to -w--w--w-, I could not add a new file or delete any of the existing files, getting a permission denied message. This is not as I understand it: I should be able to do this. Could anyone explain why? Thanx.

Re: Directory write permissions -- fail
Thanx. Your explanation makes sense. So the execute permission must be used with the read or write permission when dealing with a directory if the user plans on allowing read or write access to it. But no book that I have read, and for that matter, the man/info page explains permissions like this: the explanation is simply that the write permission allows files to be added or deleted from the directory, implying that write alone is all that is needed. I would hope that your book will take the time to explain this permissions business a little better than other's. David A.

In order to write a file, you have to be able to enter the directory. Reading and running files is a little harder to understand. Programs (not scripts) can be run from outside the directory with only the executable bit set. Scripts cannot be run this way. You must have r-x set because you have to be able to read the file to run it. This is one of the more difficult parts of understanding why things work the way they do. But this is some of what you need to understand to create chroot jails with executables that can't be modified (or even accessed) by the user. Ciao, David A.

I used Slackware for some months, but have recently switch to KRUD (www.tummy.com/krdu) Slack was great. I liked the BSD configuration system; the system setup files were clearly written; it was very stable; there wasn't the Bug-of-the-day that seems to exist with RedHat; you can download the kernel source and recompile/update the kernel without problems because Slack doesn't need a lot of improvements in the source that RH and SUSE seem to. It was a nice, tight distribution. OTOH, you have to compile most everything you use from the source code -- which takes time and I was amazed at the amount of programs that had some really sloppy coding that called for editing and recompiling; some programs did not want to work well (CUPS comes to mind) because their developers wrote them for RH; it doesn't use PAM; there is no package management program of any utility; getting help can sometimes be difficult because the formal support site is not always up, and some of the answers to questions weren't always right; there aren't pretty configuration tools with it -- you have to edit copnfiguration files by had, BUT the files are written very clearly. On the whole, I was very satisfied with it: if all the other 200+ Linux distributions were to disappear, leaving only Slackware, I wouldn't complain.

Adobe Acroread default installs is in Chinese --- Solution
Like so many other things in life, the problem turned out to be the operator, not the system. The problem arose from the way the fonts were set under KDE. Using the Control Center, I tried resetting everything to the default. This did not work, but after I reset the Look Feel - fonts to default and then changed the character set to iso8859-1, and Look Feel - Style - Apply fonts and colors to non-KDE apps, it apparently cleared something and Acrobat works as it should. BTW, I do not use anti-aliasing. I have no idea where the system decided to use the Japanese character set, but I found it under my Konsole font settings. This, along with the fact that Acroread would run in English if I logged as root, but gave an error message Warning: charset of fontList (ISO8859-15) does not match locale (ISO8859-1) was my clue that something somewhere in the KDE settings were awry. I have no idea how it got this way, for I have never messed with the font character sets at all, other than to change the desktop background to white and make the icon fonts a little larger. It would appear that this is one of those cases where the computer set itself up without the operator's help, and led to another several hours wasted playing with the computer g.

Sharing Windows 98 files with Samba-lite under VMware 3.1.1 and RH7.2
Hello, I trying to share some of the files on my Linux system using Samba and VMware. I'm running RH 7.2 as the host and Windows 98 as the guest under VMware-workstation 3.1.1. My computer name is Bill and the directory containing the files I want to share is /home/bof/files. When Windows 98 loads, I can see Bill under network neighborhood, but when I click it, nothing comes up. I followed the instructions that VMware gives under its help file under the line for Move files under virtual machines - Sharing files between guest and host operating systems to set up sharing. Here's what I did. Under Linux, I configured the /etc/vmware/vmnet1/smb/smb.conf file by doing the following: 1. Comment out the line starting with interfaces=IP addresses. 2. Below this line, add interfaces=vmnet1 vmnet8. 3. Provide a network workgroup name. Set workgroup=workgroup. 4. If you do not want to use the standard DNS name for the Linux system, set netbiosname=Linux system name. 5. You can leave security=user, unless you cannot connect, in which case you would use security=share. 6. Set encrypt passwords=yes. 7. In the [global] section, define a different shared memory access key. Add this line: sysv shm key=/dev/vmnet8 8. For better performance, at this line: socket options = TCP_NODELAY edit the line to state: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 9. To create the share, add the following: [SHARE_NAME] /home/bof/files public = no writable = yes printable = noHello, 10. Comment out the line starting with interfaces=IP addresses. 11. Below this line, add interfaces=vmnet1 vmnet8. 12. Provide a network workgroup name. Set workgroup=workgroup. 13. If you do not want to use the standard DNS name for the Linux system, set netbiosname=Linux system name. 14. You can leave security=user, unless you cannot connect, in which case you would use security=share. 15. Set encrypt passwords=yes. 16. In the [global] section, define a different shared memory access key. Add this line: sysv shm key=/dev/vmnet8 17. For better performance, at this line: socket options = TCP_NODELAY edit the line to state: socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 18. To create the share, add the following: [SHARE_NAME] /home/bof/files public = no writable = yes printable = no I then restarted vmware. When Windows started, I configured Control panel - Networking as follows: Added the Client for Microsoft Networks, and enabled file sharing. Once I did this, a line appeared for File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks. It has the properties Browse Master - Automatic, and LM announce - No Added NetBUI. It has bindings for Client for Microsoft Networks and for file and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks Added TCP/IP with it set up for obtaining an IP address automatically Of course, I had to restart Windows 98 after doing this. When Windows 98 starts, I may have to click several times in Windows Explorer on Network Neighborhood to get Bill to show up under it. (Sometimes this happens, sometimes it doesn't.) While doing this, I get a dialog box stating Unable to browse the network. If I close this box, and then click Entire network, then Workgroup, Bill will show up. When I click on Bill, nothing shows as being shared. Under properties for Network Neighborhood, the tab Identification is set with computer name - Bill, and workgroup - WORKGROUP. The tab Access Control is set to Shared-level access control. If I try to set it to User-level access control, the word WORKGROUP appears in the box for Obtain list of users and groups from and when I click the OK button, I get a dialog box stating Windows could not find the specified security provider on the network. Do you want to use the name you typed anyway? Yes or No. If I click Yes, I then get a dialog box asking me to select the kind of authenticator you typed and choose in a drop-down box between Windows NT domain and Windows NT server. I've tried using Windows NT domain instead of using Shared-level access control, and then changed the smb.conf file security line to user = shared, without avail: all it seems to do is make Windows take longer to load. It was my understanding that I should at least get as shared my /home directory from Linux as the default from the lines in smb.conf ; Home directories [homes] comment = Home directories browseable = no writable = yes If I set the line browsable to = yes, I still don't have /home/bof show up. It was also my understanding from the help file mentioned above that if you use the same user name and password to log in to the guest as you do the Linux host, then you are not prompted to log in when you browse the Linux host

I left off KDEI and all the -x listings as suggested. This fit nicely on one CD. But since the -x listings need not be burned onto the CD, they also do not need be downloaded --- why take time to download something you will not use? I did download the rootdisk and extra directories, as there was stuff on them that I wanted even if I did not put them on the CD. So you do not need download the entire directory tree, just the stuff you want to use. As a minimum, you'll need the isolinux, kernels and slackware directories.

Make sure that /tmp has enough room for the .iso image (about 700 MB).

My question is, would I be able to simply make the glibc 2.3 binary available for the program and have it run? I do not want to do a real install of a new glibc as I expect it to be a potential problem. I know I can try and see, but I was curious if anyone had any warnings of bits of wisdom to impart for this. (I am also looking for the source on the ATT site. It is mentioned as being available, but the link seems illusive.) I never had any luck with compiling the ATT version, so I used the binary that comes with Slackware.

The problem, I think, is in the structures as defined in visor.c and visor.h in drivers/usb/serial/visor for the kernel, in that the definitions there are for OS 4.1 and not for 5.0. Which means that there is not much you can do until someone updates these. (Or write them yourself, as I am sure some will say ;-) ). Perhaps you could post to the j-pilot mailing list and see if any else has this problem and has solved it.

And the RH manuals are quite good for the most part. But 98% of the stuff in the in the older manuals will still apply and the rest can be gleaned from the online RH docs. I still use my RH 7.3 books when fiddling with RH 9.0. Of course, he can download the documentation for older versions also: all of the manuals should be available as .rpm files. They might be available as an .iso image called the documentation CD, if he can find an older ftp site, but I think that they were also available as individual files. As an aside, this is the second comment this morning on this list about which distro to use when learning Linux. It used to be (even up to last year) that for those who wanted to REALLY, REALLY learn Linux were pointed towards Slackware as so much of it had to be set up manually via configuration files --- which was considered to be a good learning experience. Of course, one problem with this is that Slackware uses the BSD-style init scripts, and uses the .tgz package manager so that those using it as a learning tool would not get the knowledge of the Sys V init setup and .rpm that seems to have become the de facto standard for Linux distributions. But has Red Hat really become so dominant that it is now the standard when it comes to learning Linux? And more importantly to me, when I dump RH 7.3 at the end of the year from RH not supporting it any more and go back to Slackware, will I someday be the only Slackware user left in the world? g BOF ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc - http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

Apparently they have changed their systems, for 216.229.33.250 was their DNS server for some time and I did not look it up. At any rate, I plugged in your values into /etc/resolv.conf and still get the same unknown host message.
