I am going to set up a SLIP dial-in at my university account on a Sparc Station
|
|
which is running SunOS 4.1. The PC-Client I will be using to dial in from home
|
|
is my Linux box.
|
|
|
|
Since I already tried out DIP on my Linux PC (and consider it a convenient tool
|
|
to setup a SLIP-server via 'sliplogin') I would appreciate to use it on the Sun.
|
|
|
|
Anyone made something similar before? Can I use DIP on SunOS? If so where can I
|
|
obtain the source code? How are the Sun SLIP-drivers integrated within the SunOS environment?
|
|
|
|
I am looking forward to reading from you,

Hi All:
|
|
|
|
I am relatively new to Linux, but I am using it as a platform for MOTIF
|
|
development work. I have noticed that I don't get messages like
|
|
"Segmentation Error" when my application dies, and that I don't seem to
|
|
be able to find a core dump. Is there some magical incantation I must
|

use in order to get one?
|
|
|
|
Thanks in advance,

Sounds to me like you didn't set up your timezone stuff correctly. I had the
|
|
same problem, but I didn't like the suggested solutions of changing my CMOS
|
|
clock twice a year or setting my CMOS clock to GMT, so instead I pointed my
|
|
local timezone to Eastern-Ind (that part of Indiana which doesn't use DST),
|
|
and made sure that each user uses EST5EDT. Now the only users who are off
|
|
are certain root processes. But my users are right! And I can still go back
|
|
and forth between DOS and Linux with the same CMOS clock and be consistent.

If you have LILO it's easy:
|
|
Edit /etc/lilo.conf. You'll find something like:
|
|
|
|
boot = /dev/hda1
|
|
compact
|
|
image = /vmlinuz
|
|
label = Linux
|
|
ramdisk = 0
|
|
root = /dev/hda1
|
|
vga = normal
|
|
^^^^^^
|
|
||||||
|
|
If you change this in "vga = ask" LILO will ask which textmode you want.
|
|
After you changed it run LILO (just type lilo) and the next time you
|
|
boot LILO will ask about the VGA mode. It will display all the available
|
|
VGA modes for your card. Just type a number to get it. Remeber the
|
|
number and edit /etc/lilo.conf again. For the VGA setting use the number
|
|
you used at boot time (if 80x50 is mode 1, then use vga = 1). Again run
|
|
lilo to register the changes. Of course you have to be root to do all
|
|
this stuff.
|
|
|
|
If you don't have LILO it's a bit more difficult. Seems you have to use
|
|
rdev... I don't have experience with it. Moral: man rdev :)

Um, not on my Uniboard system it doesn't. I have users with a one hour limit
|

do a batch download of files that has taken 4 hours to complete. They just
|

tag as many files as they can and go for it. It doesn't log them off until

they finish the whole lot.

Subject: NFS Mount Shows Wrong Mount!

|
|
|
|
Have a problem where my NFS client, upon mounting a drive from the NFS server,
|
|
ends up seeing the wrong drive!
|
|
|
|
NFS Server: running Linux 1.1.45, though same prob all the way back to Linux
|
|
1.0 ...
|
|
|
|
exports file =
|
|
#
|
|
/mnt/cd amy(ro) qserver(ro)
|
|
/ amy(rw) qserver(ro)
|
|
/mnt amy(rw) qserver(rw)
|
|
/mnt/dosc amy(rw) qserver(rw)
|

/mnt/dosi amy(rw) qserver(rw)
|

/mnt/dosj amy(rw) qserver(rw)
|
|
# End of exports.
|
|
|
|
NFS Client running Linux 1.1.45.
|
|
|
|
The client uses the following mount syntax:
|
|
|
|
mount -a -t nfs ian:/mnt/dosd /mnt/iandosd -0 rsize=8192,wsize=8192
|
|
|
|
When I do an LS of /mnt/iandosd, I end up seeing files that actually come from
|
|
ian:/mnt/dosc, not ian:/mnt/dosd ... ?
|
|
|
|
Now, a few notes:
|
|
|
|
The server himself has to mount all the DOS drives to see them, his fstab
|
|
looks like:
|
|
|
|
/dev/hdb6 / umsdos defaults
|
|
/dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc msdos defaults
|
|
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/dosd msdos defaults
|
|
/dev/hda5 /mnt/dose msdos defaults
|
|
/dev/hda6 /mnt/dosf msdos defaults
|
|
/dev/hda7 /mnt/dosg msdos defaults
|
|
/dev/hda8 /mnt/dosh msdos defaults
|
|
/dev/hda9 /mnt/dosi msdos defaults
|
|
/dev/hda10 /mnt/dosj msdos defaults
|
|
/dev/sr0 /mnt/cd iso9660 ro
|
|
none /proc proc defaults
|
|
|
|
Could the problem be because the server mounts the drives?
|
|
I also allow a mount of the server's /, which in turn includes the /mnt
|
|
directory where the server mounts all the DOS drives. A possible problem?
|
|
|
|
Any suggestions appreciated ...

I just have plug a DEC VT320 terminal to the serial port of my
|
|
PC (Linux 1.1.50). In /etc/inittab, I uncomment the line :
|
|
s2:45:respawn:/sbin/agetty 19200 ttyS1
|
|
When I reboot my PC, the prompt appear well on the terminal. I
|

enter the login name, and after the return, no answer (connection

blocked...).
|
|
If, instead of the previous line, I put in /etc/inittab the
|
|
following line :
|
|
s2:45:respawn:/sbin/agetty 19200 cua1
|
|
This time, all is correct and I am able to log in and so on.

The problem is that I heard that /ddev/cua1 is less secure

/dev/cua1 does ?

|
|
Date: 29 Sep 94 15:20:23 GMT
|
|
|
|
I have installed both versions of gcc and wanted to compare it's performance
|
|
with a 3d-demo-program I just ported from turbo-pascal to c/C++.
|
|
|
|
I compiled a version with each compiler and named the executables accordingly.
|
|
[4:44pm] michaelw@desaster:~/Work/3d/Sebastian> ls -l MF_Plato.gcc.2.*
|
|
-rwxr-xr-x 1 michaelw other 76157 Sep 29 16:33 MF_Plato.gcc.2.5.8*
|
|
-rwxr-xr-x 1 michaelw other 84352 Sep 29 16:34 MF_Plato.gcc.2.6.0*
|
|
|
|
I used "-O2 and -m486" for optimization
|
|
|
|
I did this twice, once as:
|
|
MF_Plato.gcc.2.6.0 & MF_Plato.gcc.2.5.8 &
|
|
and another time as:
|
|
MF_Plato.gcc.2.5.8 & MF_Plato.gcc.2.6.0 &
|
|
|
|
The window manager (fvwm) did autoplace them, and for some reason always
|
|
the 2.6.0 was the first one to be put on the screen - it must have been faster
|
|
at initializing.
|
|
|
|
After running these 4 copies of the same code for some time I noticed
|
|
they got out of sync, in the long term the gcc 2.6.0 compiled version
|
|
was somewhat slower. (it took some minutes until one could notice).
|
|
|
|
The code is rotating and moving some mathematical objects
|
|
(Tetraeder, Oktaeder, Ikosaeder, Dodekaeder) zooming to and fro, doing
|
|
a simple hidden-line algorithm on it etc. It was originaly written
|
|
by Sebastian Wedeniwski in Turbo-Pascal-for-DOS, I just ported it to C/C++
|
|
Unix/X-window. He agreed to put it under the GPL. It still has some typo
|
|
in the Ikosaeder- and Dodekaeder-definitions, so it looks a bit ugly because
|
|
of some lines going astray, but you can fix it (and send it back to me) if
|
|
you like - the rest (Tetraeder and Oktaeder) are perfect.
|
|
I have to pass my math-exams before putting any more work into it :)
|
|
|
|
I will put the source on studserv.zdv.uni-tuebingen.de:/scratch/MF_Plato.tgz
|
|
for some time (binaries included).

The thing I have in mind is something like bootlin, that would allow me

Ummm, I'm afraid xv may do its own scaling. You may want to try

"g3topbm | pnmtops"

(pnmtops being from the pbmplus distribution, forget about netpbm,

sendfax's? does sendfax produce G3 files? That's a new one for me...
|
|
|
|
Oh, you mean "input files for sendfax" -- depends, if you create them with
|
|
Ghostscript's dfaxhigh driver, it will prepend a 64-byte header that xli
|
|
doesn't understand. Strip it off ("tail +64c file1.g3 >file2.g3") and it
|
|
should work.
|
|
|
|
For received files, you may run into problems if you have transmission
|
|
errors on the page and xli decides that it cannot properly decode the page
|
|
-> it must be some non-g3 format... - use g3topbm ; xli in that case.

Yup. In the Slackware 2.0 configuration, <Ctrl>-R at the xdm login prompt will
|
|
kill xdm and bring you back to tty mode. With some Xservers, though, you will
|
|
not see the tty, but a white screen with uni-colored vertical broken stripes.
|
|
This is a result of X eating display fonts or something like that. On my
|
|
machine, the 8514 server did this, while the Mach 32 server didn't. Then,
|
|
again a setup of Slackware, hit Ctrl-Alt-Del, or switch to a console with a
|
|
tty and use the 'halt' or 'reboot' commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
If enough people not running Slackware 2 are interested in the config file
|
|
Slackware uses to do this (something in /usr/lib/X11/xdm, I think it's
|
|
Xresources) I'll post it.

Can linux be made to use a serial console? I would be interested in using com1
|
|
or com2 instead of the monitor for my console.

|
|
|
|
Give it some names in /etc/printcap like
|
|
|
|
lp:lp1:laser:postscript.......
|
|
|
|
Set the printer via menu to postscript instead of PCL or Autodetect.
|
|
|
|
Tell dvips about the 600 dpi if you use it
|
|
|
|
get and install iso2ps, a2ps -8 or enscript
|
|
all three are for nice formating of ISO-Textfiles in Postscript
