Hi,
|
|
|
|
I have been looking around the FTP sites for information about any standards
|
|
for daemon accounts in /etc/passwd such as bin,sync,news,news,... and also for
|
|
naming of groups such as wheel,root,adm,sys,system,...
|
|
|
|
Has there been anything discussed with this. I am quite an experienced linux
|
|
hacker and I am for installing linux from peices rather than from a
|
|
distribution such as slackware, actually I have installed the basic slackware
|
|
set to get me a bootable machine and from here I have started to hack at
|
|
things as we speak X11R6 is recompiling on it.
|
|
|
|
Any pointers or suggestions welcome, what entries do commercial versions have
|
|
like SunOS, Solaris, SCO,..., I have access to some other Unix systems.
|
|
|
|
Thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
Gareth

But Linux _can_ use (read & write) MAC-Floppies !
|
|
Look for a thing like xhfs###. I found mine on the
|
|
Spring-Infomagic-CD.
|
|
|
|
But I would like to read MAC-CD's too...
|
|
|
|
OR have a simple SLIP for MAC
|
|
OR at least have a sort of "tree" / "ls -R" on the MAC.

I believe you can the problem by compiling your kernel with the
|
|
'PC/TCP compatability mode " option set. I think this is available in kernels
|
|
from 1.1.13 and up. Apparently this does something with the MTU that
|
|
PC/TCP likes.

Subject: [Q] ytalk / named / DNS help needed
|
|
Date: 8 Oct 1994 13:48:46 GMT
|
|
|
|
This evening, I tried to use 'ytalk' to talk to a locally attached 'dumb'
|
|
terminal.
|
|
I did not have my ppp network connection to my service provider up at this
|
|
time.
|
|
|
|
For some reason, it didn't work.
|
|
I got 'Warning: Cannot write to new talk daemon' and
|
|
'Warning: Cannot write to old talk daemon' errors.
|
|
|
|
I tried it again later, this time with my ppp network connection up and
|
|
running, and it worked.
|
|
|
|
This is what the output of 'route' looks like, first without, then with,
|
|
my ppp network connection up and running.
|
|

|
|
|
|
The '127.0.0.0' is a 'loopnet' entry in my /conf/net/networks file.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This led me to believe that something is hosed in my configuration files for
|
|
my local 'named'.
|
|
|
|
I've read all the documents I can lay my hands on regarding this subject,
|
|
including (r)tfm page, the Linux HOWTO, etc. Could some kind DNS guru
|
|
take a look at these files, and point out the error of my ways ?
|
|
|
|
Everything else, network wise, works fine. I have no problems reaching
|
|
anywhere else on the net.
|
|
|
|
Why, you may ask, am I trying to figure this out, with only my single,
|
|
home, Linux box ? I intend, at some point in the future, to add another
|
|
box or two, and I want to set up my own sub-domain. I know, setting up
|
|
the linux box to act as primary name server for my own sub-domain will
|
|
be _slightly_ different than what I have now, but that's why I'm trying
|
|
to learn to crawl, before I try to walk.
|
|
|
|
No flames, please. If there are other documents I should be reading,
|
|
PLEASE - point me to them. I'll gladly do that. I'd much rather understand
|
|
how this works than have someone write me a recipe. But, if you can point out
|
|
what I've done wrong, and tell me what the right way is, and why, I'd sure
|
|
appreciate that, too.
|
|
|
|
Thanks, in advance, for any help.

Hi, experts!
|
|
|
|
I have a few diskless stations and only two questions:
|
|
|
|
1. Is it possible to arrange
|
|
a swap area for them on the remote machine ?
|
|
|
|
2. Can I use the disk partition from this remote
|
|
machine as a local disk on the station (I am not
|
|
talking about NFS!) ?
|
|
|
|
Thank you very much.

Which version of sendmail is the fix against? I tried it under sendmail 8.6.9

(the latest) and there was no problem.

I dug up my old copy of SLS .99.12 and installed it without too much

trouble. Now I see everyone discussing 1.50 What are the advantages

way to just upgrade, or do I need to re-install? I dread the thought

Will I get SCO Unix binary compatibility with this upgrade? Or is

Low Bandwidth X
|
|
(LBX)
|
|
|
|
This tree contains a snapshot of the code for Low Bandwidth X, the effort to
|
|
develop a standard for running X applications over serial lines, wide-area
|
|
networks, and other low-bandwidth, high-latency transports. While many of
|
|
the major pieces of the eventual standard are represented here, LBX is *not*
|
|
done yet; this code should be treated as an "alpha" or "prototype" for people
|
|
who are interested in seeing the overall form that LBX is expected to take.
|
|
|
|
******************************************************
|
|
* *
|
|
* WARNING *
|
|
* *
|
|
* This version of LBX is *NOT* a standard of *
|
|
* the X Consortium and will *NOT* be compatible *
|
|
* with the final version. *
|
|
* *
|
|
******************************************************
|
|
|
|
The goal of LBX is to improve the startup time, performance, and interactive
|
|
feel of X applications run over low bandwidth transports. LBX does this by
|
|
interposing a "pseudo-server" (called the "proxy") between the X clients and
|
|
the X server. The proxy caches data flowing between the server and the
|
|
clients, merges the X protocol streams, and compresses the data that is sent
|
|
over the low bandwidth wire. The X server at the other end uncompresses the
|
|
data and splits it back out into separate request streams. The target is to
|
|
transparently make many X applications usable over 9600 baud modems.
|
|
|
|
This code snapshot contains the following features:
|
|
|
|
o LZW compression of the binary data stream. Since commercial use
|
|
of LZW requires licensing patented technology, we are also looking
|
|
for an unencumbered algorithm and implementation to provide as well.
|
|
|
|
o Delta compression of X packets (representing packets as "diffs"
|
|
against previously sent packets).
|
|
|
|
o Re-encoding of some graphics requests (points, lines, segments,
|
|
rectangles, and arcs).
|
|
|
|
o Motion event throttling (to keep from flooding the wire).
|
|
|
|
o Caching of data in the proxy for large data objects that otherwise
|
|
would be transmitted over the wire multiple times (e.g. properties,
|
|
font metrics, keyboard mappings, connection startup data, etc.).
|
|
|
|
o Short-circuiting of requests for constant data (e.g. atoms,
|
|
colorname/rgb mappings, and read-only color cells).
|
|
|
|
However, the following items have yet to be implemented (which is why it
|
|
isn't a standard yet...):
|
|
|
|
o Re-encoding of a number of requests (e.g. QueryFont), events, etc.
|
|
|
|
o Support for BIG-REQUESTS extension.
|
|
|
|
o A non-networked serial protocol for environments which cannot
|
|
support os-level networking over serial lines.
|
|
|
|
o A full specification needs to be written describing the network
|
|
protocol used between the proxy and the server.
|
|
|
|
The LBX team is continuing to work on both the implementation of the remaining
|
|
items and the full specification. The goal is to have all of the pieces ready
|
|
for final review by the public later this year. Since the specification for
|
|
LBX *will* change, vendors are discouraged from building products based on
|
|
this prototype.
|
|
|
|
However, everyone is strongly encouraged to work with the code, examine the
|
|
concepts, comments on alternatives, and volunteer to help finish it up!

Code Layout

|
Usage
|
|
|
|
Start the X server as usual, and then start the proxy. The lbxproxy
|
|
is a pseudo-server, so any clients that wish to use it need to adjust
|
|
their DISPLAY. By default, the proxy will listen on hostname:1.
|
|
This can be changed by using the ':portnum' argument.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
If the proxy is to be running on a host named "sharedhost", connecting
|
|
to an LBX-capable X server on a desktop machine named "mydesktop", you
|
|
could use the following command to start the proxy (which would be
|
|
known as display "sharedhost:7"):
|
|
|
|
mydesktop% rlogin sharedhost
|
|
sharedhost% lbxproxy -display mydesktop:0 :7 &
|
|
sharedhost% xclient -display sharedhost:7
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other Documentation
|
|
|
|
programs/lbxproxy/design contains rough design notes for the implementation.
|
|
More detailed comments can be found in the code.

Well, There's GNU cp and "Unix" cp. If you need to use cp
|
|
in a script or an alias, or you frequently find yourself
|
|
sitting in front of different types of unix boxes, you may
|
|
not want to assume that the cp -a option exists, better to
|
|
stick to tar.

Are you sure you want a comma in this sentence? It reads

a little strange that way.
