I've been trying to install sudo.v1.3 under AIX 3.2.5, and come up with the
|
|
externals:
|
|
|
|
__crypt
|
|
__encrypt
|
|
__setkey
|
|
|
|
unresolved from the link. These appear to be lower level routines called
|
|
out of the crypt entry in /lib/libc.a/shr.o
|
|
|
|
None of the guru's around here seem to have an answer beyond vague mutterings
|
|
that it has something to do with the non-exportability of des encryption...
|
|
Is this right? If so I'm surprised it wasn't mentioned in the install docs
|
|
and wonder if instead there's just another library someplace that needs to
|
|
be pulled in to resolve these...
|
|
|
|
Since Todd's off on a "much needed vacation" until later this month and
|
|
I'm kinda pressed for time pending a "much unneeded business trip", I
|
|
hoped somebody might know the answer to this one...

|

This is wrong. Tar writes blocks of 20 x 512 bytes (unless you override
|
|
it with options), but it does not pad files to 20 x 512 byte blocks. It
|
|
pads files only to 512 byte blocks. The maximum, that you loose on one
|
|
file in an tar archive thus is 511 byte and another 512 byte for the header
|
|
block.
|
|
|
|
However, the archive as a whole is padded to 20x512 byte blocks. So the
|
|
uncompressed size of tar files is always a multiple of 10240 bytes.

Hi I have a quick question about minicom. I have Slackware 2.0 dist and when

trying to use minicom as non root it says that I don't have access to the

Several people have reported success by linking /bin/mail to elm. If
|
|
elm is called from a pipe, not from a terminal, it pretty much behaves
|
|
like mail.

Linux is not GNU. Any Linux developper is free to port the code to
|
|
Apple's computer. It is only, that the FSF won't do it.
|
|
|

PowerPC is not Apple. PowerPC is a chip desigened by a few major

|

There is indeed a project to port Linux to the Power PC. Latest time I
|
|
heard about it, it was still very ALPHA. See the PROJECTS FAQ, which
|
|
is posted to comp.os.linux.announce regularly.

You have to make them yourself. cd to the source/newconf directory, and

type make; make install.

Go check out "Crack" and "CrackLib".
|

- the former is a retroactive password cracker, and the latter is a

Hi Steve,

Did you try booting from the boot disk without saying 'mount ...' ?
|
|
Just hit enter at the first prompt in such a way to have the color disk

as / (root) filesystem.

I hope this help

I am afraid that what you have done is that you deleted your linux partitions.
|
|
DOS disk DOESN'T recognise any non-dos 'partition' inside a 'extended partition', which it itself calls 'extended DOS partition'.
|
|
Modifying logical drives inside a extended partition with DOS fdisk leads to the
|
|
deletion of all non-dos 'partitions' inside.
|
|
The only chance to recover applies only if you have a printout of linux fdisk of
|
|
the original partitioning, including start and end cylinders of all partitions.
|
|
The you can repartition the drive from a linux boot floppy with linux fdisk by using exactly the same values.
|
|
Otherwise I am afraid your data are lost. I would be sorry for that.

|
|
Hello,
|
|
|
|
I have problems with the installation of
|
|
XFree86. My Xconfig file doens't work
|
|
correct with my hardware and I didn't
|
|
found anything in XFree86-HOWTO which
|
|
could solve this problem.
|
|
|
|
I have no CL6440 (SVGA-file) in the
|
|
ConfigX86 program only lower CL (CIRRUS LOGIC)
|
|
drivers are there, and I also
|
|
don't know which monitor I should select for
|
|
my Dual Scan LCD Display (640x480x256), and
|
|
which clock rate does a LCD Display have?
|
|
|
|
Which of the Monitor Types in the ConfigX86
|
|
is for LCD Panels, and exists there a
|
|
Xconfig.sample for notebooks?
|
|
|
|
I have tested a lot of different controllers
|
|
and displays (with different colcks etc.)
|
|
but my linux system (1.0.9) always turned the display
|
|
black and didn't responde - so I had to reboot
|
|
several times or I got execution errors from startx.
|
|
|
|
My hardware is:
|
|
i485DX2 notebook
|
|
LCD DualScan[ Display CCFT 9.5inch
|
|
Vesa Local Bus System
|
|
Cirrus Logic Graphic Card CL-GD 6440

Hello! Help!!!
|
|
|
|
I have Linuz running 1.0.8 just fine, slackware 1.2 install, fine and
|
|
dandy. But I wanted to test the 1.1.45 Kernel, so I compiled and
|
|
ran into a snag on re-boot. So I decided to reboot from SLACKWARE
|
|
1.2 with the boot command:
|
|
|
|
mount root=/dev/hda1
|
|
|
|
and it seemed to go okay, it asked for the ROOT disk and read some,
|
|
the locked up after the 'root mounted' message. This was with the
|
|
SCSINET boot image, which worked okay for the original install and
|
|
current hardware of IDE disk (330 Meg) and 3c579 NIC.
|
|
|
|
I tried to boot with slackware 2.0 SCSINET and NET boot images, using
|
|
both the COLOR and TTY disks (I have 1.44 floppies) but it hangs at the
|
|
same place again.
|
|
|
|
Any ideas?
|
|
|
|
Thanks so very very much!
|
|
|
|
Steve...
|
|
|
|
P.S. Once I get in I have the old kernel to tell LILO to boot from
|
|
so I'll be fine :)

You will have ot change the permissions for the files or directory you are
|
|
accessing via NFS by using chmod.
|
|
|
|
usr group world

One rather cheap way is to to something like
|
|
tredir 2023 23
|
|
(you need not be root to do that)
|
|
Anyone wanting a remote login can then say
|
|
telnet your.machine 2023
