Hello all,
|
|
|
|
After installing a new kernel and trying several things, the card
|
|
is ALMOST working. The "eth0" device is there, we can send packets to
|
|
the portable using the ethernet IP number, and the device dynamically
|
|
appears and disappears when we hot-swap the card.
|
|
|
|
No packets are going out on the attached ethernet, and it isn't
|
|
receiving any either. The netmask, IP, etc. all appear to be
|
|
correctly configured.
|
|
|
|
Ideas?
|
|
|
|
Hardware: Sager 486-66, dual-scan color, D-Link DE-650 PCMCIA
|
|
card.

This may happen if all files are so small that it takes less than one minute
|
|
to download each of them. Is this your case?

I tried this but it didn't work. I put following line into

/etc/hosts.deny:
|
|
|
|
in.fingerd : ALL : /bin/cat /etc/nofinger.txt
|

(and yes, /etc/nofinger.txt is world readable...)

Now finger returns:

I would like to 'map' some keys on my keyboard, but I don't know how.
|
|
Here's what I'd like them to do:
|
|
DELETE -> ^D
|
|
HOME -> ^A
|
|
END -> ^E
|
|
BACKSPACE -> ^H
|
|
|
|
This is all I can think of offhand, but if I can learn how to do those,
|
|
I should be able to add more later. I would like these 'key
|
|
assignments' to work in text & Xwindows screens.
|
|
|

Thanks in advance.

If you are creating a Linux distribution, or are running a Linux
|
|
system based on a distribution, please, Please, PLEASE make sure
|
|
that your X (shared) library directory is in your ld.so.conf file.
|
|
That way ldconfig(8) and ld.so(8) will be able to find the libraries,
|
|
and people will be able to run programs which use those libraries.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you have installed X libraries in /usr/X11/lib,
|
|
it would be a good idea to add "/usr/X11/lib" to ld.so.conf.
|
|
|
|
(Or, if your X library directory is untrusted, you could have
|
|
your users add it to their LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.)
|
|
|
|
Thanks.
|
|
|
|
P.S. By the way, the Linux Filesystem Standard (14 Feb 94) section 4.1
|
|
indicates that /usr/X386 is the reserved location for XFree86 releases.
|
|
XF86-2.1-lib.tar.gz installs libraries in /usr/X386/lib.

I've created a SLIP-connection between to machines using modem on normal

Starting a dip-script to connect the client to the server it works

(over 2400 bps :-( ).

AND NOW IT COMES ---> THE QUESTION <---

Is there any possibility to declare a timeout (hanging up the phone) and

redial and reinstall if anyone needs a connection (ping,telnet,ftp,etc.) over

If Solaris takes the 4.4 BSD route it has a linked list of addresses for
|
|
each address family. This worries me for performance reasons. Linux can

happily do what you want with the dummy inteface (and you can add more

dummy interfaces 8)).
