/usr/bin/X11/mwm & # start up Motif

/usr/bin/X11/xclock -digital -geometry +0+0 &

exec /usr/bin/X11/xterm -T LOGIN -n login -bg black -fg white

# these lines will not be run until the above xterm dies...

This way the user can change the windowmanager by killing the existing

is kill mwm.pid ; /usr/bin/X11/fvwm &

Ok I have a question for you guys. Since I didn't here the beginning of
|
|
this thread I have this particular problem:
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have a problem. There is a machine which I dial up and get
|
|
a slip link to. On this machines network I can access all of the
|
|
machines. However I have to telnet to a machine I have an account on
|
|
on that network to be able to telnet or ftp to the rest of the internet.
|
|
Is there a way I can somehow have the machine that I do have an account
|
|
on to act as some sort of a gateway. I've tried specifiing that machine
|
|
as my gateway to no avail.

I'm looking into purchasing a Philips CDD-522 recorder, but most of the software
|
|
that I've seen for writing disks is written for DOS or Windows, and tends to be
|
|
more than $800. I was cautioned against hanging a CD-recorder on *any*
|
|
multitasking system. Has anyone had successful experiences writing CDs under
|
|
linux? What software is used? (Does one use one package to make an
|
|
ISO-compliant disk image, and then another package to actually copy the image
|
|
onto the CD-ROM?)
|
|
|
|
Any information regarding CD-recorders on a unix box would be helpful.

If you have a working SLIP configuration then there's no need to move
|
|
to PPP. Once setup, both have more or less the same functionality.
|
|
However, if somebody starts from scratch I suggest to use PPP
|
|
because it's much easier to configure. (Routing+ARP)

Also look on ftp.demon.co.uk, under /pub/doc/unix. There are scripts for

Slackware 1.2/2 slip/ppp and news/mail setup. These are Demon Internet

PPP may be more efficient than SLIP theoretically (I don't know)
|
|
but as a PPP user I am finding that my PPP-vendor's server is the weak
|
|
link in the system.
|
|
|
|
I have a hunch that sudden, large variation in the RMS of ping
|
|
times may be a reasonably good predictor of imminent server-failure but
|
|
I haven't got around to writing a program to sample the ping times yet.
|
|
|
|
Also I am finding that my current PPP-vendor seems to like
|
|
to kill my connection if I don't send anything out over the line for
|
|
more than a few minutes.
|
|
|
|
But I found the Linux end of PPP to be much simpler to set up than I
|
|
had expected it to be; this fact I attribute to the superb manner in
|
|
which the PPP software (ppp-2.1.2a.tar.gz) has been configured and
|
|
documented.
|
|
|
|
IOW, when my PPP-vendor's server is up, it's great!

I got the Yggdrasil fall 94 cdrom, ftp'd rev B of the boot disk & errata.

/dev/hda4 is swap partition /dev/hda1 is /home (no /usr partition specified)
|

I created the boot floppy during the install process. I set the boot flag

on /dev/hda1. I can boot from floppy, but not from HD. The HD boot gives me
|
|
"Missing Operating System." I tried the Halt command. It did not work. I can boot
|

from floppy, and access the entire system, so I have a working system.

I have a 386 DX 25 w/math co. 8 meg ram. AMI bios (I switched from

the errata from the Yggdrasil ftp site. The /usr changes did not work due to

the stuff being on cdrom.

Hey pete. I have a Zeos Pantera 90 and I use the onboard aha152x scsi chip.
|
|
Basically, the chip works great with linux once you override Linux's desire
|
|
to find the card at IRQ 12..
|
|
|
|
Performance-wise, you'd be better off getting a nice PCI based scsi card.
|
|
the Zeos scsi chip seems to be wired into the ISA bus, not the PCI system.
|
|
I just got a QLogic PCI scsi card and under DOS the speed difference is very
|
|
VERY noticible, I have yet to try the QLogic under Linux. (I understand
|
|
there is a kernel patch...)
|
|

If you'd like any more info, just let me know.

Subject: /dev/tty0 ownership

Date: 1 Oct 1994 17:23:27 GMT

|

Hiya. I've got basically a Slackware 2.0 Linux/X setup, with
|
|
kernel version 1.1.50. I'm using agetty on VCs 1-6, and X is
|
|
on VC 7.
|
|
|
|
The man pages for console and tty indicate the /dev/tty? should
|
|
be mode 622, owned by root.tty, in general. It also makes sense
|
|
that when a user logs in, they should get ownership of the
|
|
appropriate ttys. That seems to happen fine for /dev/tty[1-6],
|
|
but not so for the rest.
|
|
|
|
When I start X, I get ownership of /dev/console, /dev/tty0, and
|
|
/dev/tty7. When I leave X, I retain ownership. When I log out,
|
|
I retain ownership. When someone else logs in, they are bummed.
|
|
In particular, if someone tries to use loadkeys, they find that
|
|
I own the console and they are not allowed to muck with it. When
|
|
I say `I', I mean an ordinary user, not root. If another ordinary
|
|
user starts X, then they get the console, and after exiting they
|
|
retain ownership.
|
|
|
|
It doesn't look like `startx' or `xinit' are responsible for re-
|
|
setting ownerships, so I guess it's X. Can anyone suggest what I
|
|
can do to make things right? Anyone else have this problem?
|
|
|
|
Also I notice that, even for /dev/tty[1-6], when I logout, owner-
|
|
ship goes back to root.root, not root.tty as the manpage suggests.
|
|
Yet all the relevant programs (agetty, /bin/login) are owned by
|
|
root.bin -- which program is responsible here and how can I get it
|
|
to `do the right thing'??
|
|
|
|
Thanks in advance,
|

I am receiving the same error when trying to mount from my 386 (1.1.47
|
|
kernel) a drive on the 486 (1.1.47, same rpc.xxx files as 386). I can
|
|
mount the 386's drive from the 486 though. I can mount the 486's drive
|
|
from DOS PC's via either the LWP NFS drivers or TSoft's S/W NFS driver.
|
|
|
|
Anyone have any ideas?

Just a word of warning uncommenting things in rc.inet2

Don't uncomment the routed part unless you know what you are doing.

One of our new linux users did that while switching on his nfs, and had the

'hello, world'
|
|
|
|
STATUS:
|
|
I exported a dos-partition from a linux-486-pc (slackware 1.0.9, Kernel 1.1.18).
|
|
|
|
The linux-fstab-entry is:
|
|
'/dev/sdb5 /dos_data msdos rw,exec,umask=000,conv=auto'
|
|
|
|
This drive is nfs-mounted on a SGI-INDIGO2 running IRIX 5.2 .
|
|
The parent directory an all of its mounted contents have permissions:
|
|
'-rwxrwxrwx root root'.
|
|
|
|
|
|
PROBLEM:
|
|
Nobody else than root can write to this device when logged on
|
|
the INDIGO. Write access is denied with the message:
|
|
'Cannot create filename - Not privileged'.
|
|
|
|
More precisely, it is not possible to create non-zero-length
|
|
files. All FAT-operations like deleting files and 'touch'ing new
|
|
files work well.
|
|
|
|
Logging in the linux-system with the same non-root-user-account I
|
|
can do what I want on the dos-device.
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm looking forward to your suggestions, thanks in advance !

This is the first time I've heard this. Florian La Roche posted
|
|
NFS patches in which he mentions rsize=8192,wsize=4096, but I
|
|
don't remember if this is for mounting linux on sun or sun on
|
|
linux. I've been mounting linux on sun with rsize=8192,wsize=4096
|
|
but the results have been intermittant - it works well for hours
|
|
but then it hangs. (When I go home and can't get at it, ususally.)
|
|
Is rsize=1024,wsize=1024 going to be a win?

I have a problem. There is a machine which I dial up and get
|
|
a slip link to. On this machines network I can access all of the
|
|
machines. However I have to telnet to a machine I have an account on
|
|
on that network to be able to telnet or ftp to the rest of the internet.
|
|
Is there a way I can somehow have the machine that I do have an account
|
|
on to act as some sort of a gateway. I've tried specifiing that machine
|
|
as my gateway to no avail.

I want to make it look to my machine as if I am connected directly to

the network the machine "bert" lies on. I have an account on the machine
|

bert, which is how I access the internet. I would like to be able to
|

do what I do from bert directly from my machine.

Here is what I see when I type the route command on my box. By the way

uiucgate is the name of the termserver, or at least the name I gave it in

Its IP is 128.248.7.1, the numbers the termserver gives me are usually

get to and have a logon on has an IP of 128.248.166.23. I can get anywher

Normaly I wouldn't bother but its Friday and I'm feeling pedantic. What you
|
|
posted WAS NOT a summary, it was the contents of your mail folder. Have you
|
|
read Emily Postnews? It's a text on nettiquette, nice and sarcastic. I
|
|
would recomend it to anyone starting in the usenet. The best bit is, if you
|
|
read it, you'll find a bit on your "summary" in there ;) It gets posted
|
|
regularly in news.answers I think.

Try something like: info@wri.org, and they'll tell you that

they're not interested in Linux. Pretty stupid on their behalf if you

ask me but thats marketers trying to speak for the programmers for ya.

This bounced around the groups a while ago and that was the response. I
|

hope they changed their minds by now. If they haven't, there is

considerable headway in making Linux use the binaries of other i386
|

unices. If they don't support it directly, see if one of the binary

packages they support will run under the newer kernels. Then tell us

8-). I am also really interested in gatting mathematica for Linux. At

the moment, that is the ONLY reason I ever boot dos.
