Sure it does, "kexportfs -r". It is in knfsd-xxxx/utils/exportfs/, when
you do a make install, the result is that exportfs ends up as
/sbin/kexportfs. I have been using it successfully for quite a time on
both my machines.

Hi Giacomo -
I'm actually really surprised that your method doesn't work - the
documentation I've read states that both 'mount /dev/hdc' and 'mount
/mnt/cdrom' should work, unless there's a mount option that I don't
understand that is preventing this. I tried your method and it doesn't
work for me either!
At any rate, your solution is to use 'mount /mnt/cdrom'.

You might want to check out Netscape Calendar Server. They were planning
a port to Linux, if I remember right. It uses Communicator Pro (free) as
the client and resembles apps such as Exchange and Groupwise, but it is
more oriented towards open standards.

if ppp0 does not show up with ifconfig you have more than a routing problem.
The ppp interface is not active. after you dialed with minicom did you exit
without resetting and then run pppd?
for example:
run minicom
dial in and login
alt-q
exit without resetting
pppd /dev/modem 115200 defaultroute &
ppp0 should show up in ifconfig
trying pinging.. if the gateway is the only computer you can ping, then you
have a routing problem.
you can fix that with
route add default gw gw.ip.numb.er ppp0
hope this helps..
I have a question of my own.. i just installed linux SuSE 6.0 yesterday and i
am a linux newbie.... i've read EVERY thing i could find that is relevent at
LDP and the above is the only way i can get connected. during bootup, it
says that diald is active but! the modem never trys to dial out. i use YaST
to configure my ppp connection but again, diald doesnt dial.. ironic eh? so
i end up doing the minicom/pppd thing.. which is a pain...
any brave soul willing to help me tackle this? i'm a newbie but not totally
stupid so i promise i wont be too frustrating to help..
thanks

So by that definition of Linux, I must have version Linux 3.6...NOT.
Linux != RedHat != Linux, RedHat == a single distribution Linux == THE
kernel,... reffering to Linux 5.2 is just wrong.

I dont think procmail can do that !!
when I implement a filter that call pgpv (which can be done very easily)
it will ask me for my keyring-passphrase every time a mail comes in.
(or I dont use a passphrase which would make my system highly unsecure)

Subject: pb installin rh52 on scsi jaz drive
Date: Sat, 27 Mar 1999 16:54:45 +0100
hello,
while trying to install Redhat linux 5.2 on my SCSI 2GB jaz drive, I
encounter a problem :
an error message 'kernel panic : VFS : unable to mount root fs on 8:22'
comes up.
I tried several possibilities of mounting and partitioning.
This is all the more surprising as two weeks ago, I succeeded in installing
RH linux on my jaz drive and it worked well for two weeks (i decided to
reinstall it yesterday to change some partitioning). And i have the problem
described above.
Is there something I do wrong ?
Is there other possibilities of installing manually Linux (with other
distributions) ?
Thanks for your help

Netscape wants the full path _including_ the java40.jar filename in
the CLASSPATH variable, e.g., your CLASSPATH should contain something
like
/opt/netscape/java/classes/java40.jar
otherwise it may not find it even though it's right there. I stumbled
upon this when updating NS to 4.08 .

No. Basically, Winmodems rely on some "real-time" features of Windows
9x... that is, the ability of a client program to futz with interrupts
and such directly.

Hi, I downloaded the linux users guide from the above site. I got the
pdf version since I'm a newbie and figured printing it out would be
faster and easier to use acrobat under windows. Is there a way to change
the fonts? the document is almost unreadable. I never had this problem
with a pdf file before, just this one. I do have access to the full
acrobat software, but dont know much about it. I wonder why it isnt
available in plain text so I could get a decent printout.

I dont know about all the howto documents, but the dozen or so that I
have read are very poorly written. You can follow it to a point, then it
trails off into the ozone. One was totally incomprehensible. As was
pointed out, there are isolated "nuggets" of usefull info buried in
reams of rambling and ancillary info.

Lots of us do RTFM. The problem is with the FM. Anyone who has a
technical background can tell you that there is a world of difference
between a good FM and a poorly written, fragmented, ommissive FM. The
originator of this thread was just trying to find some good FMs. He
probably had access to good FMs in his previous experience, and knows
the difference. I dont think he is lazy, nor about 80% of the newbies
trying to learn linux. I also dont think they are morons. They need a
good FM to read, and are willing to do so. I have heard from several
that the printed linux books are not very good, so I accept that, but
the howtos are certainly not very good for learning. Neither are the man
pages. These documents may well be excellent reference material for
experienced users, but they are hell for a beginner. I firmly beleive
that the biggest problem with linux is the lack of good documentation.
