I'd appreciate any advice on the following: when setting
|
|
up my HP 4P laserjet on Linux (using LPT1), I'm able
|
|
to print to the queue (IE, lpq shows that the file is
|
|
waiting to print), but the printer never receives the
|
|
file. lpc gives some message like "lp unable to print--
|
|
offline," but the printer behaves normally under DOS/WfW3.11.
|
|
|
|
Any general suggests as to what to try next? I've
|
|
exhausted the possibilities in the HOWTO. I'm fairly sure
|
|
that an expert could troubleshoot this in minutes.
|
|
|
|
Many thanks.

If Linux is the only system that touches this drive, you should be ok.
|
|
The problem is that older versions of fdisk (up to 1.5b) will create
|
|
a partition beginning in the first cylinder incorrectly. It should
|
|
begin at a track boundary, but fdisk puts it immediately after the
|
|
Master Boot Record. Linux will work properly this way, but some other
|
|
systems have been known to "repair" this. Lilo may be unwilling to
|
|
boot from this partition, however.

|
|
|
|
As far as linux is concerned, only the logical value matters. Lilo is
|
|
concerned with both, as it has to live with the BIOS. Both physical
|
|
(cylinder/head/sector) and logical (sector counting from zero at the
|
|
MBR) are in the Partition Table (in the Master Boot Record). Fdisk is
|
|
simply reporting that the two don't match. Whatever kind of fdisk you
|
|
used to make that partition simply set the cylinder to the highest
|
|
possible value.
|
|
|
|
Note that if some of the Lilo files are in the hd1a4 partition, they
|
|
might be above cylinder 1023, which Lilo can't handle. These would
|
|
include the kernel image, the map file, boot.b, and the message file -
|
|
if you have one.`

Ugh! This will cause trouble.

The correct solution for linux 1.1.x is to simply define the drive
|
|
as having 32 (or 64) heads in the BIOS CMOS setup. Then DOS, linux,
|
|
and most other stuff will handle it just fine.

Our RMON monitor Beholder and the accompanying SNMP utils (get, set, next

Hi,

I am trying to set up a linux box as a backup server. I have gone through

3) NSF

4) gopher server and

5) Mosaic server
|
|
|
|
|
|
the configuration of the system will be a 486DX/50 MHz processor with local
|
|
bus arch. It will have 16Mb of RAM with 210 MB of Harddisk (IDE). Also I want
|
|
to mount 1 GB hard disk from a IBM RS6000 running AIX running 3.0.
|

The ethernet card will be eitherNE2000 or from HP .

In particular I will like to know response time , reliability etc. Please

|
It's just a 486DX2-66 with a 487 pinout that fits in a 487 socket. It
|
|
switches off the DX-33, so if you keep it in the system it is only
|
|
going to sit there like a heating pad.
|
|
|
|
It was part of an Intel scheme to sell these "upgrade" parts without
|
|
causing a messy aftermarket of used DX-33 chips, which might affect
|
|
profit margins. Fortunately, both consumers and MB manufacturers
|
|
rejected this as an expensive ploy and waste of MB space. However, if
|
|
you buy an "Overdrive" chip from Intel, make sure to get the one with
|
|
the right pinout (486 or 487). Of course, the 487 itself is just a DX
|

Conclusion: Intel marketing sucks.

Howdie,
|
|
|
|
what are the proper permissions of /usr/spool/mail/
|
|
|
|
If I don't have it chmod a+w elm chokes because it can't create a lock
|
|
file, what should everything be set at?
|
|
|
|
(using smail, elm, pine + evey other news reader).
|
|
|
|
Do I need to recompile elm so it puts it lock file in a different
|
|
directory. right now users can delete mail spool files! (not very
|
|
nice)
|
|
|
|
please respond via email

When the answer is as easy as this one I certainly think you should post the
|
|
solution to the problem along with your two pages description of the
|
|
problem.
|
|
|
|
The correct file is
|
|
/usr/local/lib/news/mailname
|
|
|
|
on all standard slackware installations (I know of).
|
|
|
|
Change the contents of this file to your mail-return-address.

The title says it ... Why doesn't ftp work?
|
|
|
|
It work from a remote machine with the anonymous user id,
|
|
but won't work from any other id. I've modified the
|
|
files /etc/ftpusers and /etc/ftpaccess, but am certainly
|
|
missing something ... seems like defining a class with
|
|
"real" in the typelist doesn't work.
|
|
|
|
Can anybody offer any soultions?

|
|
|

I can't change it. I have other hardware that is using that port
|
|
address. My MMU-401 MIDI card is using 330 and IRQ 2. All the
|
|
MIDI software and games using general MIDI all assume 330. If I move
|
|
the MIDI card to some other address and then move the 1542CF to
|
|
330 I'll have MIDI software sending strange stuff to my SCSI adapter.
|
|
Some of the MIDI software can be configured, but much of it just
|
|
assumes 330, the factory default for MIDI cards.
|
|
|
|
The SCSI controller supports 130, 134, 230, 234, 330, and 334. I
|
|
have the Adaptec SCSI bios at the factory default address, but I
|
|
did move the port base to 230. In DOS/Windows this all works fine.
|
|
|
|
I'd try hacking on the driver, but I have to get the system loaded
|
|
before I can do that. I can't load the system because all my
|
|
disks, CDROM, and tape drive all run off the SCSI controller.
|
|
|
|
I'm Stuck!

Exactly what I just did. I'm tired of hearing and seeing Smail bugs and

at the moment I can't deal with these security problems anymore. I

until Smail can get fixed.
|

There's a good one! A sendmail bug was just reported a few months
|
|
ago, adding yet another to the DOZENS of bugs reported about sendmail.
|
|
Most of the bugs reported in sendmail give *outside* users access to
|
|
your machine; this smail bug was only available to users who have
|
|
already logged in. Big difference. Sendmail (The standard one,
|
|
anyway, 8.6.9) arguably the single hardest unix package to configure
|
|
correctly. Smail is a damn good program, and I use it all the time.
|
|
I am going to check out Zmailer 2.97, but in the meantime, for ease
|
|
and understandability, and for security reasons, I'm going to stick to
|
|
smail rather than risk using sendmail.

Hi,
|
|
|
|
I have linux running slackware 1.2. In my /etc/profile, I notice there is a line
|
|
|
|
PATH=$PATH:/usr/games....
|
|
|
|
And when I login as user, "echo $PATH", I get:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games.....
|
|
|
|
but as root, I get:
|
|
|
|
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:usr/sbin:/usr/games....
|
|
|
|
So which program controls the initial $PATH?
|
|
|
|
Thanks.
