I use the ttyS1 port, too and it works fine. I have a Zyxel U1496E + with ROM 6.11 and Linux

Hello,
|
||
I'm trying to add a dumb terminal to my linux machine.
|
||
Here's what I've done so far. I've connected an ADDS terminal
|
||
to my comm 3 port via a null modem cable. I placed the following
|
||
entry in my /etc/inittab file s3:45:respawn:/sbin/agetty 19200 ttyS2.
|
||
I do get a login prompt but when I try to enter anything it takes about
|
||
15 seconds for anything to echo back to the dumb terminal. This makes
|
||
it take an extremely long time to enter a user name and since passwords
|
||
don't echo I can't tell when it's time to enter the next character. If I
|
||
ignore the characters not echoing and type in a complete user name, most
|
||
of the characters get dropped. I've tried baud rates of 19200, 9600 and 4800
|
||
all with identical results. Any suggestions? I appreciate any help I
|
||
can get.

Just as a note- you should not use the word "servers" there, but "hosts".
|

Otherwise, the terminology gets confussing fast!

|

|

I am not sure what you are asking. The clients run on the Linux box.
|
||
That is the way Xterminals work. Just think of them as very sophisticated
|
||
character terminals.... the more you have, with the more users, the more
|
||
the load on the host (the Linux machine). You will need to meet that
|
||
load by adding additional resources on the host as necessary (more memory,
|
||
faster processer, etc). Or, you can add more hosts to serve the increasing
|
||
Xterminal pool (as many as you want).
|
||
|
||
>How do I get the Linux machine to respond to the XDMCP, but let
|
||
>the Xterminals manage their windows ?
|
||
|
||
What do you mean by "manage their own windows"?? If you mean running the
|
||
window manager client, then that is quite possible (through something
|
||
called a local client). But it is usually unnecessary. The window
|
||
manager actually puts very little load on the host compared to other
|
||
clients.
|
||
|
||
>I have tried changing the Xaccess and Xserver files in the

|
||
|

You should *NOT* use the Xserver file (except for the local console)
|
||
if you are using XDMCP. It is unnecessary, and will cause problems.

Hi!
|

I'm planning to by a PC to run linux on.
|
||
|
||
1. I understand that there exists a guide on which hardware I can
|
||
use with linux.
|
||
|
||
2. I'd also like some options on where to buy a good linux-bundle.
|
||
On CD prefferably. Opinions on shich one is the best are appreciated.
|
||
|
||
3. Also it would be nice to receive a FAQ for the linux groups. So
|
||
that a posting such as this one shouldn't be sent by me again, wasting
|
||
bandwidth.
|
||
|
||
Many TIA!

I am currently running ghostscript 2.6.1 and am using lpr2.
|
||
lpr2 allows me to print odd and even pages so that I can
|

print on both sides of the page by feeding the paper through
|
||
the printer twice. However, because of the way the paper is fed
|
||
through the printer, I must reverse the order of the pages after the first
|
||
printing of odd pages before printing even pages ( I got a
|
||
Epson Stylus Color ). This can be a hassle if I am printing a
|
||
200 page manual.
|
||
|
||
Can anyone tell me how to print in reverse ?
|

|

many thanks in advance...

Yes, there is a chip with fit in a "487" socket (which is just a
|
||
486DX2/66 with a different pinout). It disables your old 486, so if
|
||
you keep it in the system it is just a very expensive heating element.

|
||
Date: 10 Oct 1994 14:59:47 GMT
|
||
|
||
|
||
I have Problems with installing Linux on my Computer (Motherboard
|
||
SA486PAIO, NCR810 onboard, 486DX2/66). I tried to install Linux using
|
||
the NCR bootdisk version 3. The problem is that my NCR810 uses interrupt 9
|
||
and I'm not able to get Linux to notice that.
|
||
When I'm booting it says that it detects the NCR810 on interrupt 11 and
|
||
later a test times out due to lost interrupt, saying that I should check
|
||
the BIOS setting. That appeares regardeless of the setting I use in BIOS.
|
||
|
||
So my question is:
|
||
Is there a way to get the release 3 of the NCR810 driver to use interrupt 9 ?
|
||
|

Thanks in advance,

Hi. I'm trying to install Linux Slackware 2.0.0 on my machine,
|

and am having a bit or a problem. Here's my stats:
|
||
|
||
Zeos 486-66
|

16MB RAM
|
||
Western Digital 220MB IDE Hard disk
|
||
Adeptec AIC-6360 SCSI Host Adapter
|

Quantum Empire 1GB SCSI HD
|
||
Microcomm Desporte FAST ES 28.8 Modem
|
||
|
||
I've installed the SCSI drivers, and everything works peachy thru
|
||
DOS. I FDISked my 1GB and left about 200MB on it for the Linux Native
|
||
partition. When I boot Linux, I use the SCSINET boot disk and the
|
||
COLOR144 root/install disk. It goes thru all it's stuff, and when it
|
||
gets to the SCSI Hosts part, it says "0 SCSI Hosts detected" and "out of
|
||
that 0 are SCSI Hard Disk devices".
|
||
|
||
My Question: Is there a new driver for Slackware that supports
|
||
the AIC-6360 so that I can FDISK a Linux Native Partition and install the
|
||
system?
|
||
|
||
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Are you sure it's telnetd that is doing the checking? I don't know about
|

the Linux implementation, but similar behavior on SunOS and HP-UX is
|

because the TCP port never closes. There is a TCP keep alive timer, but

it just doesn't seem to be in all implementations.

|
||
|
||
There has been a lot of talk about ftp freezing. Alan Cox
|
||
(iialan@iifeak.swan.ac.uk) among others mentioned upgrading to
|
||
1.1.19 or higher. I did, to 1.1.52 (thanks Alan!)
|
||
|
||
File transfers seem to progress farther now than they did before
|
||
(1.1.18), but still, at some point, ftp freezes up. For those
|
||
interested, I have a 486/DX-2 66, using a Cardinal internal modem
|
||
(it has a 16550 UART on-board). The PPP connection is made at
|
||
19.2 (V.32terbo). I am connecting to a SunOS box.
|
||
|
||
Once it freezes up, I can no longer 'ping' my PPP host and 'netstat'
|
||
freezes up as well when trying to see what the state of the network
|
||
is. Killing the PPP daemon doesn't help, as it looks like kernel's
|
||
idea of the state of the network is pretty munged at this point, so I
|
||
have no other recourse but reboot.
|
||
|
||
Damn! I had the output from /usr/adm/syslog, but seem have to have
|
||
misplaced it! Bummer. Anyway, I noticed that what was getting logged
|
||
were the same kinds of errors as previously under 1.1.18 (and 1.09 BTW).
|
||
From memory, these were a series of ioctl errors. I'll post'em if any-
|
||
one is really interested.
|
||
|
||
Curiously, I have a co-worker who is able to connect to the same (Sun)
|
||
machine using 1.1.18 with no apparent problems. There are so many layers
|
||
where there might be problems, from all the software layers down to
|
||
possible physical connectivity problems, this seems like a nasty one to
|
||
figure.
|
||
|
||
My 'gut' feel is that this seems like some kind of cummulative error,
|
||
buffers not being reset or counters not being reset between transfers or
|
||
some such 'silly' bug; although I have done zip for testing to confirm
|
||
this. Under 1.1.18 it would seem to choke on any files over 50K, or
|
||
after transfering several smaller files, would eventually then choke on
|
||
even a smallish file.
|
||
|
||
Under 1.1.52, I have transfered 300+ Kb files no problem, but then, after
|
||
enough transfers, it freezes up. Again, I haven't done any testing to see
|
||
if 'binary' or 'ascii' modes have any effect. I also see what I assume to
|
||
be the same behavior while using Mosaic: hangs in middle of display how
|
||
many bytes of its http request it has recieved.
|
||
|
||
Anyway, anyone have any other ideas/fixes and/or similar 'gut' feelings
|
||
about this?

Subject: Smail: How to set sender name?
|
||
Date: 06 Oct 1994 07:20:08 GMT
|
||
|
||
Hi -
|
||
|
||
I am trying to configure smail to send out mail messages with a sender
|
||
name which is different than my login name. I need to do this because
|
||
I cannot receive mail on my local machine -- I use a SLIP connection.
|
||
|
||
I need to make mail messages appear as though they were sent from the
|
||
machine which actually receives my mail so that people will be able to
|
||
reply to them.
|
||
|
||
I've figured out part of this problem -- by setting the "visible_name"
|
||
attribute in the config file I can make messages appear as though they
|
||
were sent from my mail-receiving machine.
|
||
|
||
The problem is, however, that the messages are still sent out with my
|
||
local username. My username on my local machine is different from my
|
||
username on the mail-receiving machine.
|
||
|
||
From reading the smail(5) man page, it looks as though I may be able
|
||
to do what I want by setting the sender_env_variable attribute in the
|
||
config file. This attribute is supposed to let users change the
|
||
sender name used in a mail message by setting an environment variable.
|
||
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work -- smail doesn't seem to use
|
||
this attribute.
|
||
|
||
I've also tried setting the from_field and return_path_field
|
||
attributes to produce the desired username, but messages still arrive
|
||
with the local username instead of the one I specify.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Can someone tell me how to set the sender name in smail?
|
||
|
||
I'm using Smail3.1.28.1 #28.5.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Thanks!
|
||
|
||

Yeah, and I guess it's alright to break into somebody's house to watch TV, or
|
||
use the phone (local calls only, of course), or take a nap on the couch. As
|
||
long as you don't deface anything. But those darn eyes of the law...
|
||
|
||
Look, people set up security on their systems because they don't want
|
||
unauthorized users ("nice" or not) on their systems. And these people have a
|
||
right to have their systems left alone. When you break into their systems, you
|
||
are violating their rights, as well as breaking the law. In fact, that's why
|
||
the laws exist, not to piss you off, but to protect people who want to be left
|
||
alone. When you violate their rights, you deserve to have the book thrown at
|
||
you, as much as a person breaking into a house does.
|
||
|
||
This goes for any system, whether a one man operation, or a large corporation.
|
||
People have a right to say who is allowed on their system, and who isn't. I
|
||
don't see how you can claim to have a right to break into a system.
|
||
|
||
Just 2 more cents,
