has anyone got the DVD kernel patch for 2.2.14 working. The DVD player
seems to be working right, but I don't think the patch worked. I'm running
RH 6.2 on a dell pentium III. however, to configure the kernel i used 'make
xconfig'. might this have hindered the effectiveness of the patch.

Most likely a hardware problem. Check the CPU fan, and check the memory.
(get memtest86 from http://reality.sgi.com/cbrady_denver/memtest86/ and
let it run for a few minutes).

Either the kernel source is not in /usr/src/linux or you have deleted/moved

You can also get CAP (Columbia AppleTalk Package) -- It's free and you
should be able to build it on linux. But I don't know how that (or
KAShare) would work. They make unix (linux?) directories available

It saves you the effort of having to specify the options.
For example, I have the following entry
/dev/sdc4 /zip vfat noauto 0 0
for a SCSI zip drive. I can mount it simply with
mount /zip
To the best of my knowledge, it is not necessary to have the
system reread /etc/fstab. I certainly have made changes
and then been able to use them immediately after without doing
anything special.

I've heard Bad Things about CAP, at least relative to netatalk - but I guess
I may not have a choice. Didn't realise it'd allow UNIX to mount
Appleshare....

Are you sure? Okay, I'll check it out - but my boss says that it works the
way we are expecting };*) Maybe it does both - he claims it's pretty much
like the Mac Chooser which (IIRC) you can share from, as well as mount from.

depending on what you are tying to do of course, it probably makes
most sense to run an apple server on the linux box. Then you
can transparently acess the files from a mac, and 'reasonably'
acess the same files from unix. It is a mess deailing with forked files
with weird names from a shell however which way you do it of course.

Hi people,
Well, I'm not very familiar with SNMP traps/signals.
I was wondering if it's possible to send a TRAP/signal to start and stop
a SERVICE on a WindowsNT from a redhat box.
For that matter are any good sites related to SNMP on LINUX.

Use "find" to create a list of file names that were not modified in the
last 30 days. Use this list as the argument to the '-exclude-list'
option. Make sure you have a recent version of mkisofs (v1.12.1), part

Well, it's certainly possible to send a trap. What that does to NT, I
don't know (or care to know).

I've configured a Mail Server: QMAIL.
My purpose is send mail not immediately, but I would that the messages stay
in the queue for a few time.
I would that when a ISDN router comes up, the "E-Mail start".
In actual scenario, every time that I send a message the router comes up!!!
I'm looking for an option like "-q15m" of sendmail.....

Sorry, don't have an answer for you, but I would like this too. Also,
what would be neat is if there were some way to have the URL, date,
time, page no. printed at the top of the pages the way you see it when
you print with Netscape on Windoze.
I've thought about trying to program a print filter (pages, page
numbering shouldn't be too big a problem), but how to get the URL info
from Netscape?

I don't know about the URL stuff but you could easily setup a new
printer entry in /etc/printcap using the enscript filter which will
do what you want. I usually save the file to postscript first and
then print through gv as that gives me lots of control over what
actually gets printed and what doesn't. I hate wasting paper.

Deactive the automatic initialization of xdm in /etc/inittab
(prefdm),
active the xdm from a remote shell as
xdm -debug 1 -nodaemon -error /var/log/xdm-errors.log
or whatever, and you will be able to ctrl-c to terminate
the process from a remote shell.
also, get all of the src rpms and recompile them. sometimes
that will help.

For the ESS cards, you will need to recompile the kernel.
in 2.2.14, this was an experimental option, so configure
the kernel w/o experimental, then go and turn on experimental
options, and activate the ess support.
I am running it on a compaq 1800xl laptop, and it seems to
work fine....or wait for future release in 2.4.x
good luck,
the job is not for the light at heart.

This is no doubt an extremely simple problem to fix (I'm probably

firewalls) to a final destination machine. I then try to untar. The tar
file contains relative paths (relative to / on the source machine, eg.
home/webs/somedir/somefile). When I try to untar relative to / on the
destination machine it will not create directories that do not already
exist. For example, take the example above, if "somedir" doesn't exist,
it will not create it... unless I untar as root.
Sounds like a permission problem, right? Well, the original source files
were owned by "webs", the tar file is owned by "webs", the directory
"home/webs" (in which "somedir" should be created is owned (and read,
write, executable) by "webs". Only / is not read/write/executable by
webs, but it shouldn't have to be. If user "webs" manually creates the
directory "somedir", tar if perfectly happy untaring "somefile".
I've gotten this to work on other machines. The only difference I've
found is that the machine I'm interested in now runs tar version 1.12,
where the others are 1.13.x. Is this a version problem, or am I missing
something simpler? Past experience leads me to believe it's the latter.
=)
Any help is greatly appreciated.

For an X GUI client you might also try xfmail. It can be configured
to show you headers while the mail is still on the Pop server so you
can delete spam before downloading it. The last time I used it the
editor wasn't the greatest, but it's okay for sending notes. Don't
know about attachments.
For myself I'm getting by using Netscape 4.61 and using popcheck
from the command line. Popcheck lets you check email headers
on the server so you can see who the mail is from and how big it
is, and delete msgs on the server if you like. I tried to set up
xfmail on TurboLinux workstation 4.0 but I had version conflicts
with some X library it needs to make its widgets or something
so I gave up on it.
