Hmmm... I'll have to try to see what ncftp does with nested directories,

mget a? ap? x? d? xap? ... (etc)

after I made the directories. grabbed entire wild-carded directories that

We experienced a similar problem with named . It would simply stop
|
|
servicing requests after a time. We solved this by moving to a newer version
|
|
of named (4.9.?) and disabling nslookup. It seems that nslookup was causing
|
|
most of the problems. Debugging output from named showed it going into
|
|
a loop of some sort when nslookup was run.

Did you look at the syslogd output? It is written to the local2.warn
|
|
location. The log should show that it runs the ip-up script as well as
|
|
the termination code if it could not be started unless it was simply
|
|
ENOENT ("there is no ip-up file").
|
|
|
|

No, it is always executed.

|
|
|
|
There is a pending problem with the ip-up and ip-down scripts/programs
|
|
with the 2.1.2a version of the code. These scripts inherit the file
|
|
handles for the stdin/stdout/stderr and if you redirected them to the
|
|
tty device before running pppd, then you can confuse the peer process
|
|
should the programs write to stdout/stderr. A solution is to include
|
|
the following on each of the commands:
|
|
|
|
>/dev/null 2>&1
|
|
|
|
This will cause the output to be redirected to the null device.
|
|
|
|
This problem is corrected in the next version of the daemon code.
|
|
|
|
So, change 'route' (which normally does not generate output unless
|
|
there is an error) to be:
|
|
|
|
route add -net 10.200.0.0 gw 10.202.23.1 netmask 255.255.0.0 >/dev/null 2>&1
|
|
|
|
Why are run running 'ifconfig'? There should not need to be a reason
|
|
to run ifconfig against the ppp device. You are free to specify any
|
|
value for netmask, IP address, and mtu when you run pppd.
|
|
|
|
>If ip-up doesn't work, is there another ellegant way to see if the IP is

|
|
|
|
I suppose that you could probe for the route to be added or the device
|
|
to go up. It is not an elegant solution, but it will work.

Try using the ^fourport option. (I think that's what it is).

try a:
|
|
|
|
stty erase ^H kill ^C
|
|
|
|
in .cshrc/.profile
|
|
|
|
and a file called .Xmodmap in your home directory with the line:
|
|
|
|
keycode 22 = BackSpace
|
|
|
|
that should fix the backspace problem.
|
|
|
|
|
|
as for the shutting X down stuff, /etc/inittab determines what VCs are active
|
|
in a runlevel of 6. Slackware 2.0 comes setup with VC6 the only VC with
|
|
getty running on it, however all the boot information still goes to VC1,
|

which is usually the same as /dev/console.

Oops, I'm an idiot, I meant the BIOS password and not the boot password.

You are in luck - I hope - I had the same problem - swapped
|
|
everything - but one part. The keyboard. Swapped the keyboard
|
|
and never had the problem again, except when I put that keyboard back
|
|
in.
|
|
|
|
This machine was standalone - so I always thought it was hung
|
|
but really it would not accept anything but switching of VCs.
|
|
|
|
Switch the keyboards and hopefully things will work.
|
|
I troubleshooted this problem for about a month - what
|
|
a pain.
|
|
|
|
If you dont have an extra keyboard just run top in a VC
|
|
and switch to that VC when you think the machine is hung, if
|
|
top never updates then you may have another problem.

It sounds like someone else is using your IP address.

Find out who is using your address, and make them stop :-)
|
|
Otherwise, change your address. You network administrator should be
|
|
able to help track down who is using your address.
|
|

|

|
|

|
|
|
|
The reason it "responds" to pings is that you are actually sometimes pinging
|
|
a different machine, depending on who's arp responce gets out first. However,
|
|
whoever is using your IP address is not running a system you can log into
|
|
(probably a DOS/Windows or Macintosh box).
|
|
|
|
When you are on another machine, pinging your machine/the other machine, you
|
|
can use the "arp" command to find the ethernet address that you are pinging
|
|
(assuming you are pinging within the same subnet!). You should see that at
|
|
the times that "your" machine refuses connections, the ethernet address is
|
|
not your ethernet address. (Linux tells you what your ethernet address is
|
|
on bootup, so check your logs or reboot to find your address.)
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps! We had a similar problem when a fellow here set his linux
|
|
box to the same IP address as his Mac Quadra.

Many thanks to everybody. WTMP is now working after I issued the following:
|
|
|
|
touch /var/adm/wtmp
|
|
|
|
ln -s /var/adm/wtmp /usr/adm/wtmp
|
|
ln -s /var/adm/wtmp /etc/wtmp

I am relatively new to Linux, but I am just going to purchase a
|
|
CD-ROM. Is the Panasonic Double Speed (directly interfaces to Sound
|
|
Blast) supported by LINUX????
|
|
|
|
|
|
Last question:
|
|
|
|
How do I attach my printer... I have a BJC-600, I don't know if
|
|
this is even supported????

.. when I installed my copy of Slackware 2.0 via the Morse-tech CDROM,
|
|
I simply said "NO" when it asked to install the three bozo users. Why the
|
|
big stink?
|
|
|
|
I'd like to know why i'm forced to run ifconfig and route commands before
|
|
and after running DIP to connect to my CSLIP host. :)

I think this is interesting.. After I run dip I run route and see no routes,
|
|
check ifconfig and its only set to localhost, not my IP address.
|
|
|
|
So if i run ifconfig and route after dip, all works fine.

I just installed slackware2.0 (morseCDROM) kernel rev 1.0.9

Thanks,
