will give you the pid of the last process started. I'm not sure what the value
of this would be if child processes were spawned in the script. Perhaps 'ps lf'

Subject: window colors in X. . .
Date: Thu, 07 Jan 1999 22:34:03 -0600
This may be a stupidly trivial question, but here goes. . .
I'm running Red Hat Linux 5.1 and using fvwm2 with AnotherLevel in
XWindows. I finally figured out---more or less---how to change the
colors of window borders, title bars, et cetera by editing my Mwm file
under /etc/X11/AnotherLevel/decors. But I still can't find where to
change, for example, the border color for *inactive* windows, the
default window background color (something besides light grey), the
default window menu font.
Like I said, this kind of question may come across as extremely
unimportant, but I'm mainly asking because it's like ``I can change half
the options for XWindows, but can't find where to change the other
half---shouldn't they be in at least the same directory?''
Thanks for any help with this.

what a long thread, only the long-ass rendition 3300 threads were as
long, usualy due to long-=ass discussions and flames about other
chipsets and OpenGL/DirectX/Prorietary and messed up Glide wackos.
now as to this thread, here goes.
seems as if LILO put itself on its own HD, meaning that it didn't edit
the Primary hard Drives Master Boot Record. as evidenced by the fact
that it worked with the Linux drive as master on Primary IDE.
If I understand it when you reversed the drive locations you couldn't
get NT to boot, well maybe you didn't reconfig LILO to find NT as hdc.
For a solution. Put Linux as hda and NT in hdc and Using LILO to boot.
another thing is to make sure LBA and 32 bit transfers enabled in BIOS.
The size of the Physical disk does not matter because of the way the
extended file system format works.
FYI- the 1024 limit does not affect Linux in Primary partition. Only
effects LINUX in partition seperate from DOS.
but keeping the Kernel seperate has its advantages.

A more accurate complaint would be to say that these polls don't
actually reflect public opinion at all. I do *NOT* find a high
approval percentage of Clinton amongst the people I talk to on a
daily basis, and neither do most people talking on-line either.
This is a mix from across the whole political spectrum from left-wing,
to right-wing, and even some various "third wing" parties like
libertarians. I have no idea how these "polls" are being conducted,
but they don't reflect reality.

One more small question. I don't know if this is a bug in samba or not. Samba
reports an incorrect amount of disk free space to a mapped drive letter in winnt
4.0. I have an 8.8gig drive mapped to D: (dev/sda1) but it only says I have
3.99gigs free. I've added about 1.5gigs to drive D: and it still says 3.99gigs
free. When I run df on the samba host it reports the correct amount of free
space.
I mapped another drive letter to the root dir of my linux box with the samba
host, which is on a different hd (dev/sdc1). Samba reports the disk free space
correctly for this drive - 470MB.
Maybe I didn't format the scsi 8.8GB drive correctly. I made a primary ext2
partion with fdisk and then called "mkfs -t ext2 -c /dev/sda1" This is the
standard way to format a linux drive isn't it?

If your looking for a book, try "LINUX Network Toolkit" by Paul G. Sery. It does a
good job of setting up a Linux server from installation to tweaking for
performance. It's centered around SAMBA.

That's funny. I'm putting the finishing touches on a computer that runs only
Linux which gets shipped to my mom tomorrow. I'm not joking either. With KDE,
Netscape, StarOffice, a few games, and a few additional productivity apps,
she's got everything the family needs. Click an icon and the net connection
comes up, click another and the email client comes up, click another and the
mail is retrieved. Piece of cake. Is my mom just that much smarter than yours
or is Linux really not as bad as you make it out to be?

You can;t. However you may be able to mount linux single user
linux 1
at the lilo: prompt.
That should dump you into single user mode with no password. Otherwise
boot up with your rescue disks, and mount the root partition somewhere
(mount -t ext2 /dev/ha1 /root say)
then change to /root/ext/

Smail works fine with a dialup. When mail is sent offline, it spools it for
later transmission. Send with the 'runq' command after going online. Check the
mail queue with 'mailq'. The configuration is explained in man smailconf.

I assume this means that you are unable to ping the number (not the
name). When you ping that number what do the lights on your ethernet
card do?
Did you originally have a default route set up on your ethernet
interface? Don't . Remove it(eg in your rc.local ) and simply route
directly to the local subnet.

Never mind name resolving. Do not use names when debugging a connection.
Always use numbers. When those all work (ie when you can ping 137.82.1.1
and get a response) then try names. Otherwise you are trying to solve
too many things at once.
>> Jan 8 02:45:23 logik pppd[520]: CCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

This looks like a ppp problem trying to hook up to the other side.
However I do not understand why you should then have a route to the far
side.

So I still do not know what your problem is. If you do ping 137.82.1.1
do you get an answer. If so, your ppp is fine. If not your ppp has
problems.
IF it is fine look in /etc/resolv.conf to see if anything has changed
there. get rid of the search line, and just put in say
nameserver 137.82.43.9
to see if that works. If it does, put in your ISP's nameserver and try
again. (Do not leave it on the above or my ISP will get annoyed with
me.)

This will cause, that sendmail will be run only if fetchmail don't return

What, didn't you hear? Microsoft went through their customer file and
called a random sample of 11 Microsoft customers, who included Michael Dell
and Bill Gate's mother.
This explains why neither you nor I were called. I hear that it was Bill
Gate's mother who caused the first figure to be so much lower than Microsoft
expected.

Latest 2.0.7 is pre6. Get the locale, linuxthreads, and crypt
add-on files that have version numbers as close to 2.0.7pre6 as
possible, counting from below. (Some of the files have not
changed and are not numbered 2.0.7pre6).

Perl and html files certainly would be, since they are basically text files and
not system dependent. I edit html files in Win95 all the time and transfer them
to and from my ISP's BSD system and my home Linux system.

It is usually created or changed by an init script.
Check /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Perhaps you are thinking of /etc/motd The contents of this file (message
of the day) are usually displayed after login. You can put whatever you
want it and it should automatically show up.
