That's your problem. Copy the WAD to an ext2 partition and run it from there.

This occurs when there is an IRQ conflict. Propably the IRQ for PAS16 is in use

by some other device on your system.

Date: Tue, 13 Sep 1994 05:57:20 GMT
|
|
Reply-To: ockers@umr.edu
|
|
|
|
Why can't I get sessreg to register X clients in utmp and wtmp???
|
|
|
|
My userlist always shows up as being like this:
|
|
User tty From login@ idle JCPU PCPU what
|
|
ockers ttyp0 11:49pm something
|
|
|
|
As you can see, the From field is blank. I think that there should
|
|
be a :0.0 in there. Also, the wtmp does not even show anybody logged
|
|
in! This is bad. When someone connects to my xdm and logs in, I would
|
|
like to have some record of that!
|
|
|
|
I am running kernel 1.0.9, standard slackware 2.0 distribution. Nothing
|
|
too fancy. XFree86 version 2.1.1 . SysVInit.
|
|
|
|
I looked at the sessreg(1) man pages. It claims to handle utmp and
|
|
wtmp for non-init clients. It does not. This is not covered in any
|
|
FAQ that I could find.
|
|
|
|
According to the man pages, sessreg acts differently for BSD or SYSV
|
|
xdms. I am guessing that the SYSV stuff applies to me.
|
|
|
|
The BSD problem seems to be the indexing of utmp, wherein each entry
|
|
has a slot number. sessreg looks at the Xservers file and the /etc/ttys
|
|
file, and takes (# of entries in /etc/ttys)+1=(the utmp slot for this
|
|
session). The 1 there is for the X session, so that it can be added to
|
|
utmp.
|
|
|
|
My /etc/ttys is not updated to show the ttys that are currently
|
|
in use! It contains 10 lines which are the first 6 VCs and the first 4
|
|
ptys. It has not been modified since I installed linux. This screws up
|
|
sessreg; it says "lseek: invalid argument" since sessreg is trying to
|
|
update the 11th slot in utmp. Of course there is no 11th slot in utmp.
|
|
Even if there were, it would probably be the wrong slot.
|
|
|
|
sessreg -s <number> specifies a slot number for sessreg to assign the session
|
|
to. sessreg does not return an error message if you assign a slot that
|
|
exists in utmp; but it also does not modify utmp or wtmp in any way!
|
|
|
|
Also, in the SYSV environment sessreg is supposed to ignore the BSD-specific
|
|
flags. Since it is not ignoring them (lseek?) I must be in a BSD environ-
|
|
ment. Right? And if I leave off the BSD-specific flags, I get the lseek error.
|
|
|
|
My /usr/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers file looks fine. The first non-commented line
|
|
it contains (and the last line in the file) is
|
|
:0 local /usr/X386/bin/X
|
|
|
|
This is from the man pages: "If for some strange reason your
|
|
system uses a file other than /etc/ttys to manage init,
|
|
the -t option can direct sessreg to look elsewhere for a
|
|
count of terminal sessions."
|
|
|
|
My system apparently does not use /etc/ttys to manage init. What
|
|
does it use? Any ideas?
|
|
|
|
I put sessreg -a $USER in the file specified by the DisplayManager._0.startup
|
|
resource. Likewise, sessreg -d $USER is in the file specified by the reset
|
|
resource. It has no visible effect on anything. (I know those scripts are
|
|
executing properly because they do other things.)
|
|
|
|
If you email me your ideas on how to make this work, I'll post a summary/
|
|
solution. Thanks so much.

As everyone has said, the command fdisk/mbr within DOS is the answer.

THIS SHOULD BE STATED clearly and loudly in the setup program,

You might ofcourse have different version than I but this is what my
|
|
lilo.conf looks like:
|
|
|
|
=====lilo.conf=====
|
|
boot = /dev/hda
|
|
compact
|
|
delay = 5
|
|
vga = 0
|
|
ramdisk = 0
|
|
|
|
root = /dev/hdb1
|
|
image = /vmlinuz
|
|
label = linux
|
|
|
|
other = /dev/hda1
|
|
table = /dev/hda
|
|
label = msdos
|
|
=====lilo.conf=====
|
|
|
|
This automagically boots Linux. If I want to boot msloss I have to
|
|
press ctrl or alt in order to choose between them.

The file /etc/utmp keeps track of who is on 'right now', you can reach its

data via the "who"-command.

|
|
|
|
Correctly the file /var/adm/wtmp keeps track of who has logged in when and
|
|
for how long and use the "last"-command to read it (the "weird" format).
|
|
Simply "last" gives a list of all logins since last deletion of the file,
|
|
combinate it with "grep" and for example wordcount.
|
|
|
|
Try "last | grep user| wc -l" to see how many times user has been on...
|
|
Did this solve your problem?
|
|
|
|
: need... Careful, though... I think that this file is wiped and retouched on
|
|
: boot up (you'd have to update your accounting after booting everyone off but
|
|
: before the system restarts in your "shutdown" routine)
|
|
|
|
wtmp is not automatically deleted on boot-time (unless some of the newer
|
|
installations use it as default), it just keeps growing and growing for each
|
|
login. You should delete and retouch it from time to time yourself.
|
|
|
|
There is some accounting-stuff (acct) as well, haven't tried it myself yet,
|
|
but you might like to check it out. This is not default and you should find
|
|
it on anonymous ftp somewhere.

nosuid *AND* noauto, if you ask me.

noauto causes the system to not attempt mounting the floppy at boot-time (or

whenever else the /etc/fstab is read), it has to be mounted seperately.

nosuid is good, too, as it stops attempts to run setuid files on the mounted

Someone else has already posted this, but as far as e-mail is concerned
|
|
the solution lies in your mailer-daemon's configuration. Assuming you use
|
|
Smail, edit the line in /usr/lib/smail/config that says "other_names" or
|
|
something similar. Add ":second.host.name" at the end of the line to
|
|
solve your problem.

VLB has the disatvantage that it needs at least 2 cycles for every transfer.
|
|
Even follow up cycles in burst mode where PCI only needs one cycle.
|
|
Therefore if you care about the speed of your bus you have to use PCI and be
|
|
careful to pick the right chipset and board manufacturer. Good PCI boards
|
|
operate at 65 MByte/second for STOSD, the best ever seen on a VLB board
|
|
(actually a Asus PCI/VLB hybrid with Intel Aries chipset where the VLB
|
|
hanging on the PCI bus over a bridge) was 42 MByte/second. The data come
|
|
from various c't magazines from 10.93 to 8.94. c't seems to have tested
|
|
almost every PCI mainboard.
|
|
|
|
BTW 65 MB/second is the maximum transfer rate which can be achieved when
|
|
using a 486DX chip. 32 Bit PCI has a theoetical limit of 132 MB/second.
|
|
|
|
And now if someone could explain why the Pentium chipsets in general provide
|
|
less PCI and possibly memory performance than the good 486 chipsets, I would
|
|
be glad to hear it.

Subject: Rstat patch (for xmeter)
|

I would like to use xmeter, and check other things beside the
|
|
cpu and load options. I have an old rstatd with a patch for
|
|
the kernel, but the patch is for .99pl14 or something. Does
|
|
anyone have a rstat patch for kernel 1.0 or 1.1? Or do I just
|
|
need a new rstatd?? I'm using kernel 1.1.49 with an original
|
|
slackware 2.0 install.
|
|
|
|
thanks

if you just have an ethernet network and one box on it is connected
|
|
to an Internet provider (you used some bad language like M#%&@$@ft there -
|
|
so I'm not quite sure)
|
|
then you need two things to do it proper:
|
|
- make sure your kernel on SLIP/PPP machine is configured as ROUTING
|
|
packets (make config)
|
|
- make sure that other machines have
|
|
|
|
route add default gw your_slip_hostname metric 1
|
|
|
|
somewhere in their rc.inet1
|
|
|
|
Sooo.... It's basic networking - why blame Linux on that... Read some
|
|
good books on that though.... Has nothing to do with Linux development...

The solution is a workaround. In your xterm window, you can type
|
|
`stty' and you will note that the speed of your pty is set to
|
|
zero. This seems to be because the pty state is copied from the
|
|
`controlling tty'. I think you are running xdm in daemon mode where
|
|
there is no controlling terminal, thus the speed is zero. Start xdm in
|
|
nodaemon mode, or start X with xinit, or type `stty 9600' in your
|
|
xterm window.
|
|
|
|
With any of the above, you will be able to rlogin to Solaris. I spent
|
|
two days tracking this one down.
