Personally, I read Linux Journal. It has some good information.
However, you would be hard pressed to find information in the magazine
that cannot be found in one of the million online magazines.

The other posts address usage of the non-rewinding device correctly.
Save yourself some typing by defining the environment variable TAPE,
which is honored by tar, mt, mtx, ... .
In one of "/etc/profile", ".profile", ... place:
export TAPE=/dev/nst0
I think "/dev/nst0" (non-rewinding) is the proper choice. If you wish
to overwrite a tape just issue "mt rewind".

Well, I realize now that I was quite wrong with regards to Kpackage. After
some experimenting, I found it was really good about finding uninstalled
packages. However,
I am noticing some things that I really don't understand:
If I have check dependencies, replace files and replace packages checked off
when installing a package, I find something really strange happens. The
package appears to install, and it appears in the installed packages list.
However, NONE of the files are actually installed.
If I try to reinstall it just using rpm --install on the command line, it
says that it's already installed. So, then I try the replace options on the
command line and it says it is not installed!
I'm not quite sure why this is happening, because the man page for rpm seems
to say that replace packages and replace files will simply replace files if
they are already present, so if they are not present I would assume this has
no effect.
My only solution was to uninstall using Kpackage, and then reinstall using
only the check dependencies option (however, this was quite a pain to do
after I had installed quite a number of packages).
Does anyone have an idea why this is occurring? Am I misunderstanding the
intent of the command options?

I'm not sure that the problem is memory related at all, though it could
be.
The device that throws up the error - major number 8 - minor number 21 -
would be the fifth partition on the second SCSI disk. It could however
be that bad memory is causing the kernel to think it is getting bad data
from this partition. It might not even be the DIMMs, it could be cache
RAM.

Actually, it looks like it's trying to run the passwd program to change
passwords. This is normally in /usr/bin, not bin. At least on RH6.0.
There's probably a config option (somewhere) to set the paths where it
looks.
/etc/passwd is the text file which stores user information (users,
encrypted passwords, default shell, etc)....
Look up information on /etc/pine.conf. Check the tech-note docs as
well.

Well, I upgraded to 2.2.11 and still have the same problems. The
machine hangs completely and abruptly while doing a filesystem tar,
usually about 2 1/2 - 3 minutes into the job. I'm using an adaptec 1520
SCSI card and a sony sdt-s7200 tape drive. I tried manipulating the
scsi settings with no luck.
I should add that I'm loading the linux 152x drivers as a module, not
directly from the kernel. I wish I still had windows on this machine so
I could boot out and test the hardware config without ripping the
machine apart; as it is I'm now starting to think maybe my SCSI cable is
the problem. *BUT*, if any one else might have a different idea I'd
sure appreciate it. This has become both annoying and personal!

Actually, AT&T as a regulated monopoly was forbidden to enter the
software (or any other) business. That was one motivation for the
breakup. After the breakup they sold the trademark to Univel, and
things went downhill from there.

/usr busy means that the system is still using something on the

cannot be dismounted.
The offending file(s) will be a library(libraries) (from /usr/lib or

Have you tried tar'ing to /dev/null instead of a real device? That way
you could possibly determine whether it was the input or output that was

You missed the sarcasm, I think.
Everybody knows the actual definition of a "homogeneous" and a
"heterogeneous" network.
Microsoft, in their literature, likes to claim that a network populated
with nothing but different kinds of Windows boxes is "heterogeneous".
They're wrong, as you said.
By Microsoft's standard, you could say that a network containing nothing
but identically-configured Sun workstations running different versions
of SunOS 4.1.x is heterogeneous. This may be true, under a strict
pedantic understanding of the term, but it's not useful as a functional
description of the network. Software and security strategies that are
proven reliable under that configuration may blow up as soon as the
first non-Sun box is attached to the network.

When I was getting ready to install Linux for the first time, I wanted to make a
Windows bootdisk (wasn't comfortable with LILO), and much like Mr. Unruh's "rm
-r *", I did del *.*, the exact same thing in Windows, except I wasn't on the
floppy, I was in C:\Windows, so I had to completely reinstall it because of the
lack of permissions. That's one of the best aspects of Linux to me is the
protection you get against yourself doing something completely stupid, a
protection that you cannot receive if you run as root all the time, but I guess
it's a personal choice.

Subject: Help: Samba and Printing
Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 00:46:01 +0800
My Mandrake Redhat 6.0 Linux box is running Samba which provides file
and printing services to Win'95/98 clients. These clients can read from
and write to, but not printing to the local printer contacting to the
Samba server. The Samba server is running with the following
configuration:
[hplaser]
comment = HP Laserjet 5
path = /var/spool/samba
printable = yes
printer = hplaser <--- that's printer name used on Linux
The Windows clients can see the printer attached to the server. When
the clients print to the Samba printer, they succesfully pass the file
to be printed to the Linux box (in fact, I tried 'ls' continuously on
the specified printer path... and files appear on the path once I click
to print on the windows clients)... but the files passed to the printer
path is gone in less than a second... and the files are not printed
out... and the printer doesn't even response to the print request from
the Windows clients.
I copied the files passed to the printer path to somewhere else and have
them printed with the lpr command... it works... Yet, I guess no one on
earth would like to do this manually on the Samba server every time you
print from the Windows clients... How should I configure the Server so
that it would really print... help help help...
