texpire seems to compile ok, but still gives the segmentation fault.
I'll try the leafnode website.
Thanks

I use DSL and it disconnects periodically, so I wrote a script to check

problem is that it does always use ppp0, sometimes ppp1 , ppp2 etc. How
can I get it to always use ppp0. Any ideas would be appreciated. I am
not sure what other info to give, but if you need more please let me know.

Recently, I believe it was on SlashDot, there was a thread about the release
of the ILOVEYOU worm. Somebody mentioned, naturally, Linux. They mentioned
that the only harm it could do is to the (l)user's home directory. The counter
point was that the home directory contained the 'important' data/files, which
would be more difficult to restore than system files.
A thought just occurred to me. The school network I administer has over 600
students and ~100 teachers. Each and every one of them has their very own
home directory. Now, if that were a *NIX system and one of those users were
to execute a malicious worm of sorts, that single (l)user's files would be
corrupted. The report cards, tests, assignments, essays, documents, pictures,
etc.. of all other teachers and students would be left alone.
Unfortunately, it's an NT system, therefore there's really no guarantee as
to what could (would) happen were a trojan of the right elk hit it.
Needless to say, I've got a floppy disk I carry with me for my important
files.

Note that you seem to have some form of configuration problem with your

client "try to respect 80 character line conventions."
You may wish to fix that.

This isn't quite the appropriate way to regard the susceptibility
to viruses.
The critical thing about viruses is that they require a means of
transmission.
Looking at the set of systems that have traditionally been susceptible
to viruses, they have the common factor that they have only a single
"user," that being, essentially, a "root" or "super" user.
This was true for MS-DOS, for CP/M, for the Apple ][, Atari 800,
Commodore 64, MacOS, and, most recently, Windows 3.x and Windows 9x.
The point here is all of these systems had no effective barrier between
different users.
Moreover, there's a "deeper" connection; in "secure" systems, there
tends to be a barrier enforced between "user mode" code and "supervisor
mode" code.
In Multics, the set of such "modes" represented disjoint sets that were
termed as "rings." The most inner ring being the "deep insides of the
kernel," and the most outer ring representing the "space for highly
unprivileged users." The hardware would enforce that processes running
in the outer rings could not touch things belonging to the inner rings.
UNIX simplifies this to having two rings: "Kernel" space, and "user"
space.
Those "older" systems had only the single "kernel" ring, thus meaning
that any process having access to the system had access to the _WHOLE_
system.
When everything runs in the "kernel" ring, it is _trivial_ for a program
that wants-to-be-a-virus to do whatever it wishes to introduce itself
into the system. As a result, all those systems were exceedingly "fragile"
when presented with attackers wishing to take control.
In contrast, when you add the extra ring, and have only OS kernel activity
take place in "Ring 0," it becomes _considerably_ more difficult for
nefarious software to do nefarious things. The would-be virus has a
smaller part of the computer to work with in finding itself a "home."
The hardware help helps to make the system more secure. It helps Linux.
It is similarly helpful for other systems that support such use of
multiple rings. Windows NT does better than Windows 9x; it is rather
more securable...

I run "Slackware 7.0" "Linux kernel 2.2.14" with "cdrecord 1.8" and burn
happily all day on an aging "HP CD-Writer+ 7100 - firmware 2.02 X2" IDE
burner.
Here is what I recommend;
Go to the cdrecord site and download the latest from Joerg Schilling (very
wise and able programmer).
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/
cdrecord.html
Download version "cdrecord-1.8.1 final", build and install.
That should get you going no problem.

Cannot use ppp0 if ppp0 is in use (eg from your old connection which had

Try the persist option instead.

just a guess more than anything else.

Mu. :-}
...no, really. *Which* "special file" were you trying to remove? The
device files in /dev can easily be removed with rm. Files in /proc are
generated on the fly by the kernel, and can't/shouldn't be removed with a
simple rm--that /proc/kcore file isn't really taking up 64M of disk space.
OTOH, if you have a file that is showing very weird permission bits, has a
strange size, cannot be removed with rm when you are root, and such, then
it's time to pull out the big guns:
0: man chattr and make sure this file doesn't have the "immutable"
attribute set.
1: go to single user mode
2: fsck the partition the weird file is on
3: run debugfs and be very very careful!

Date: Mon, 08 May 2000 04:47:39 GMT
I downloaded and built a 2.2.14 kernel (replacing the standard kernel shipped
with RH 6.0). I applied one patch from John Hardin so that I could use my
laptop to connect to my pptp server through the Linux box (from an NT client
laptop).
Well, when I compiled the kernel, I select the EEPro and the 3c90x (my second
NIC). Everything compiled, no errors. When I reboot and go into the newly
built kernel, it doesn't detect at eth0 is a EEPro. It thinks that the 3c90x
card is eth0 and that there is no eth1. Everything still works great if I
reboot into the RH 6.0 kernel (which is 2.2.5-15, I believe).
Where did I go wrong? Anyone have any helpful guidance?
Email replies appreciated.

The PCI bus allows for shared IRQs, which feature is implemented
through busmastering. Shared IRQs are a mixed blessing. Some cards
will demand their own IRQs. Sometimes the BIOS and/or the OS will
pile up items on an IRQ while leaving others free -- this seems to be
a fairly common event in Windows 2000. In addition, some sound cards
will silently take an IRQ without informing the OS.
Newer boards will share the IRQ of the first PCI slot with the AGP
slot and the IRQ of the last PCI slot with the first ISA slot. This
is why 3com recommends against putting their cards into these slots.

Subject: How do I split a Linux partition to install Win95?
Date: 7 May 2000 21:15:16 -0700
I installed Linux on a new 8GB HD and now I need a few of my old Windows apps.
I did not create a FAT32 partition on the HD at the time of my Linux (Red Hat
6.1) installation. How do I create a FAT32 partition for Win95? I ran fdisk,
but did not see any obvious way to create a new partition. Choosing the n
option tells me that there is no space for creating a new partition. On a side
note why can I not run fdisk from bash? I had to use csh.
If I have to reformat the whole drive and start from scratch then I'll do that,
but would rather not.

Thanks for the info
However, I have checked my disk and I couldn't locate the file/
folder 'faq' or 'ZIP - HOWTO' under the directory /usr/doc.
Is there anywhere else where I can locate and open this file?
Many thanks!

Try this:
dmesg | grep scsi <enter>
Let us know what it says.
