This isn't Free Software.
See http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/admin/mon/html -- Mon is GPL'd
and capable of monitoring all sorts of things from free disk space
to memory, to processes, to network interfaces (ie, did the T1 on
your
Cisco die?) to servers... My favorite monitor is one that ensures
that HP OpenView hasn't puked on itself and is still running.

Subject: Porblems with my ISDN Card
Date: Wed, 28 Jun 2000 09:46:19 GMT
From: Joris Maes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hello,
I'm trying to install my isdn card, but i ran into a lot of
problems. My
card wasn't supported by i4l so I got the modules from the
manufacturer,
and
placed them into the right directory "/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc".
The
modules are compiled for the kernel 2.2.12 but they may be loaded
with
higher kernels acoording to the manufacturer. BTW, my card is an
ASUSCOM
P-IN100-ST-D ( a pci card). There were two modules: isdn.o en
hisax.o.
I loaded isdn.o with the command "#insmod -f isdn.o", I got a
warning
about the version, but the module was loaded. But when I try to load
the
hisax module ("#insmod -f hisax.o") I got the following error
Warning: kernel-module version mismatch
hisax.o was compiled for kernel version 2.2.12
while this kernel is version 2.2.12-20
hisax.o: init_module: Device or resource busy
The problem could be an IRQ conflict, in Winblows I have to disable
one
of
serial ports.
I disabled both the serieal ports in BIOS(AWARD) and I disabled
PnP-OS.
Also when I do a depmod -a I get the following errors
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/dss1_divert.o : unresolved symbol(s)
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/pcbit.o : unresolved symbol(s)
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/isdnloop.o : unresolved symbol(s)
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/isdn_bsdcomp.o : unresolved symbol(s)
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/isdn.o : unresolved symbol(s)
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/icn.o : unresolved symbol(s)
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/hisax.o : unresolved symbol(s)
/lib/modules/2.2.12-20/misc/capidrv.o : unresolved symbol(s)
I hope you can answer the following questions, or point me the way
to a
good HOWTO or FAQ(although i already read a lot of them).
-Is it an IRQ conflict??
-If yes, how do I solve it?
My configuration
RH6.1 with kernel version 2.2.12-20
AMD-K7 500 Mhz, 64MB RAM
NIC: Realtek 8139
SBLive(doesn't work yet in Linux)
Riva TNT2 Ultra M64

I did check the postfix faq, and I thought I'd tried this, but upon
closer examination, the parameter 'relayhost' in the faq became
'relay_domains' when it came to editing the config file.
Let me give it a try, starting with this post. :^)

Hi There
I am a linux newbie and I am very much fascinated with the Linux
Kernel. And
Linus Torvalds is a role model for me because I too want to write my
own OS

I am still in school and I know quite a lot of stuff in computers but
I am

Can
anyone out there advise me please? Reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Has anybody seen a powerd client for non-Linux systems, in

I know
the Linux machine can act as a powerd server, signaling the other

when there's a change in the UPS status, but I can't seem to find a
powerd
client. I found one reference on Deja to a client at

It depends on who complex you want the OS to be.
Put in its simplest terms, all an OS is, is a software layer between
the
hardware and the user that manages system resources in such a way
that the
user is unaware of all the complex stuff going on in the background.
In the early days of home computers (1970s/1980s) the machines were
so
simple there was barely an operating system worth mentioning.
Just a few simple IO routines to allow printing on the screen and
loading
from magnetic media (And maybe a BASIC interpreter).
Even machines that had an OS usually had the OS disabled by more
complex
software to make use of the machine at peak efficiency. (Remove the
OS layer
and grab all hardware for yourself).
As you probably want to know about more modern OSes, these do (some
or all
of) the following.
Memory management (Allocating memory to processes)
Hardware management (Allocating space for hardware drivers, and time
to that
hardware)
Time Management (Time slicing. Pre-emptive or Co-operative
multitasking).
Prevention of clashes (only one process to write to hardware at a
time).
Virtual Memory management (controlling the use of swap space, and how
memory
swapping is handled in the most efficient way possible...)
Windows excluded??? *snigger*
Go to the library and ask for books on Operating Systems (generic) or
Unix/Linux systems programming in particular.

Subject: Cant create a partition with disk druid?? (newbie)

From: "Trent Cook" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Hi again,
I figured the best way to get out of my linux mess, was a complete
fresh
install. Guess not, cause here is my problem:
I have 2 hard drives: one 13gig cut up for windows and one 5gig cut
up for
linux.
The problem is that I can only create a swap partion on my 5 gig
drive. I
have deleted all partitions in fdisk, disk druid, linux fdisk,
delpart etc
etc and every time I come to disk druid in the setup. It says that I
have
100% free space on my 5 gig drive, but when I try to create a /boot
or a /
root drive it says there isnt enough space.
Oddly enough I can create swap files (as many , or as big as I want
with the
5 gig drive?)
Why cant I make any other drives? I tried creating them with fdisk
and
converting to linux but no go.
I did an Fdisk /mbr as well (just cause i ran out of things to try)
but
nothing.
So I guess Linux doesnt want to go on my machine, but I am sure that
there
must be something I can do.....isnt there?
Please Help!

I've looked into most of them already. The problem is: These sites
all
use proprietary client software which don't support Linux. As I
clearly
stated in my original post (and since I'm posting this to a _Linux_
newsgroup), I am interested in seeing if there were any such services
which are comparable to these that DO support Linux.

Is 'solo' a laptop or a desktop? If a desktop, apmd is mostly
useless.
'apmd' is the Automatic Power Management daemon -- it takes care to
put your system into 'suspend' mode properly when you close the lid
of
your laptop so you can conserve battery life and still have Linux be
up
and generally sane. On a desktop, plugged into a hard connection to
the power grid, this is just a waste of effort -- desktop battery
backups (UPS) would be in powerd's world. Recent versions of RedHat
(6.x) and I guess SuSE as well have been shipping kernels with apm
BIOS support and seem to be installing apmd and setting it up to run
at boot. Which I guess makes things easier for people with laptops,
but is just extraneous crud for people with desktops and servers.
*I* guess some of the *newer* desktops have an small bit of the APM
BIOS stuff -- our newer Celeron, PII, and PIII boxes (i.e. Gateway
ATX/Slot 1 motherboards), power themselves down when shutdown -h
finishes, instead of just saying 'System Halted' like the they did
with
RH 5.x.
I'm guessing that your machine's BIOS is/was confusing the apm code,
causing apmd to keep beating on it (creating a LA of 1).

Dear all,
I am fresh from unix or lunix platform and my boss has bought a
web
mail program and force me to install, however, this program does not
allow
user to register their username and password. As a free mail

have no idea on how I can write a cgi script to allow public to add
the
user name with thier password. Can anyone suggest any link I can
follow
to finish my task, thank you for your kindly help
