It's called DOSEmu and is very useful. WINE the windows emulation project
|
||
is in early days but I think will eventually work.

|

Theoretically - much like a laptop suspend. I suspect writing a DOS emulator
|
||
is easy due to all the hardware restart issues.

Its a bug in that paticular kernel. 1.1.49/50 ought to be fine. If not let

Xircom won't tell anyone how to program it. Sell it to a DOS weenie and get
|
||
a supported one is about your only chance unless you can persuade Xircom
|
||
to give out the programming information freely. You may also be able to
|
||
send it back as 'unfit for the purpose it was sold' or similar depending
|
||
upon your consumer rules and whether you told them it was for a Linux box.

In that case, the most viable option would be to get and compile sudo,
|
||
which can be set up in order to give precisely delimited access to different
|
||
people.
|
||
|
||
But there are other reasons to have multiple UID 0 accounts. On my Sun machine,
|
||
for example, I leave root having /bin/sh as shell, but I added user croot
|
||
(shell csh) and troot (shell tcsh). It's nice to directly enter with agood
|
||
interactive shell, but the official enter point has to be /bin/sh.
|
||
|
||
Of corse, I have no pw problems - when I change it, I just edit /etc/passwd or
|
||
/etc/shadow to propagate the change :-)

On my system they are located in /usr/sbin and are started in

RPC based services require portmapper to function. (I can't think of
|
||
where this is written however) The man page for rstat does give some
|
||
clues though. The Trans-ameritech CD had rstat source and a kernel patch
|
||
with some instructions. The unclear thing about rstatd is that it has to
|
||
run in the background or the boot hangs when rstatd is invoked.
|
||
|
||
Hmmm......
|
||
|
||
From rstat(1):
|
||
rstat: RPC: Port mapper failure - RPC: Timed out
|
||
|
||
The remote host is not running the portmapper (see
|
||
portmap(8c)), and cannot accomodate any RPC-based
|
||
services. The host may be down.

||

||

Dear all,

After consulting the "Linux Network Administrators' Guide" by Olaf Kirch

Since the kernel can detect the board correctly, my question is why ifconfig

couldn't configure my board correctly. Any advice is appreciated.

Yes, I've read the manpage about 1/2 dozen times. Finding the little

things as you mentioned is indeed rough sometimes. That is why I asked

I found out about about this too. I booted with the install disks & fixed
|
||
the problem. RTFM'ers beware... Not everything is documented. And if it is
|
||
documented, is isn't always documented well. Trial & error seems to be the
|
||
UNIX way!

I have been following this thread just out of curiosity. I have one
|
||
question though. You talk about "booting into single user mode". How
|
||
is this done. The only way I know haw to put my machine into single
|
||
user mode is to do a telinit -S or one of it's equivalents.
|
||
Also, I have read the init man page and am not clear on the
|
||
meanings of run levels 2-6 Anyone wish to clarify. Alt. a good reference
|
||
book would also be appreciated.
