bash profile problem
The following is an excerpt from my interchange with the linux-users group. I'm hoping that someone with an xfce perspective may have some insight on this problem. The basic problem is that when an xterm is started or a kde Konsole is started under xfce, any aliases in the profile (/etc/porfile .bashrc .bash_profile) are ignored. I have to manually enter source /etc/profile after the window appears. Other statements in the profile (prompt, path, and variable settings) are processed without error. If I enter su (and password), the aliases are honored. If I login directly from a prompt (no X or xfce in the picture) the aliases are honored both for root and normal user. Any clues?

Going dos to linux is easier: cat dos.script | tr -d\r linux.script I haven't tried running such converted scripts, so YMMV. Joel the problem is that whenever i create the batch file in linux using vi or any text editor, the script cannot be executed and, my friend told me that i need a program that would convert the batch script created in linux to have dos commands.

A couple of Questions about Debian Linux/Storm Linux
Hi All, I have serveral boxed copies of Linux at home. I am planning on spending some time with all of them. I have heard that Debian is one of the most stable Dists. I have purchased 4-6 months ago a boxed set of storm, it is based on Debian. I have heard Storm have ceased trading. As Storm is based on Debian, does that mean that I can use it and get the Debian files to add to what I already have in the way of utilities I need ??? For Example, can I use a normal Debina Kernal to upgrade my setup if I choose to run storm ?? I have found a site that has Win Modem drivers for Linux, but mainly Debian, Could I use these with Storm ?? Thanks in advance, I appreciate any assistance anyone might offer.

Anyway, the following update is rather alarming: http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-2001-26.html Even linux boxes are getting infected from their windows clients if they run samba. There was a fix posted on the samba mailing list. Joel Hi Joel, I didn't see anything in the advisory pertaining to Samba, was that something you just got from the samba list?

Re: NIMDA worm: JavaScript
Hi Joel, I didn't see anything in the advisory pertaining to Samba, was that something you just got from the samba list? There is mention that the infected clients will attempt to spread the worm: from client to client via open network shares This includes samba. I don't think there is any danger to linux boxes, but windows clients can get infected from the linux server. One guy (On the samba list?) says he visited a site and got hundreds of copies of the worm on his linux box. I tried that but only got one copy. Of course, I used opera, and I likely had javascript turned off, which is what CERT recommends. Not counting one day when I turned off logging (the first day), I have had 880 hosts attack me and have had 20,000 separate hits on my port 80 from this worm. This is the worst yet, methinks.

kcore
Anyone know what the file '/proc/kcore' does? Sounds to me like a dump of some kind. I've been tracking why my disk space keeps going up and found /proc/kcore at a size of 815MB!!! And climbing. Tried to delete it but it won't let me under normal conditions. (prob cuz KDE is running)Will kill KDE and try to delete it but I must have a major problem somewhere. Yet KDE is running fine. The file is binary so there's nothing I can deduce from that. -- ++ + Bruce S.

Re: A couple of Questions about Debian Linux/Storm Linux
Hi Shane, Yes, you can use software compiled for Debian 'Potato' 2.2r3. In fact, with the correct lines in /etc/apt/sources.list you can continue upgrading and updating to your hearts content. The apt utility is quite handy ( see man apt ). You'll need to comment out or remove any/all lines in your sources.list that point to stormix's ftp site... but if you go to their web site (it was still working last time I looked) and look for the 'Mirrors' page you find, I believe, at least one that still works - also ftp.sourceforge.net contains a storm directory under the mirrors directory. Use that before you go after the 'pure' debian stuff and you'll be able to keep using the graphical config. and package manager supplied by stormix. I have a remote box still running Storm but it looks as though the owner has it shut down (probably to save on the power bill) right now so I can't grab a copy of the custom sources.list for you. You might want to check out the archives of the debian users mailing list as there were many many posts within the last year detailing how to keep storm up to date.

I have heard that Debian is one of the most stable Dists. I have purchased 4-6 months ago a boxed set of storm, it is based on Debian. I have heard Storm have ceased trading. As Storm is based on Debian, does that mean that I can use it and get the Debian files to add to what I already have in the way of utilities I need ??? For Example, can I use a normal Debina Kernal to upgrade my setup if I choose to run storm ?? I have found a site that has Win Modem drivers for Linux, but mainly Debian, Could I use these with Storm ?? Thanks in advance, I appreciate any assistance anyone might offer.

new vmware install karks it.
I have installed vmware many times but this latest one takes the biscuit. Essentially it is stuffing up at the point in the vmware-install.pl: Where do you keep your C header files question. Default is /usr/src/linux/include, it then tells me:: The path /usr/src/linux-2.4.2/include is an existing directory, but it does not contain at least one of these directories linux, asm, net as expected. However as we all well know the Dirs are there, however in 3.1 asm has different names i.e asm-generic asm-i386 etc, the 2.4 used to have an asm as well. Could this be the case or is it something else. Yep, its not intuitive like me, so what can I do please? -- - To those who have been in harms way, to those that have made the sacrifice in humanities name.
