If postfix isn't installed, what would the 'mail program' be?
I'm under the same situation -- trying to run a listserver on a
mindspring dial-up machine. I've kinda got it going, but there are
still a few things I don't like:
o 'From' has to be the mailing list itself, not the poster.
I think this is mindspring's rule.
o When someone posts to the list, they get a mailing from the
list. This confuses some people. I'd rather have the msg go
out to the list except for the original poster.
I'm using BeroList.

What you want to avoid is putting the lilo boot loader in the
master boot record since that usually gives NT indigestion.
There are two ways to do this. One is described in detail in
the Linux+NT-loader (mini?) HOWTO. It relies on running lilo
so as to put the lilo boot loader in a Linux partition,
making a copy of it in the NT partition and using the NT-loader
to call the copy.
The second method relies on putting the lilo boot loader in
a Linux partition such as the root partition and then using
Linux fdisk to make that the active partition on the disk.
Finally an
other=...
section is added to /etc/lilo.conf to allow dual booting of
nt.
There are some restrictions on where the lilo boot loader can
go when you use the second method. See the Lilo User's Guide
which should be part of your Linux distribution.

Thanks,
of course, I am absolutely sure! The trouble in my version of gcc linux
begins when strlen(fileptr) >= 26 (26 is stable for the linux
Mandrake6.0 version)... When I've checked in the debugger, the content
of fileptr is getting corrupted right after execution of fopen(fileptr,
"r");... Any suggestions - ? Why 26 - ?

I do, though.
I checked the length of the string returned by getcwd, it was
12. The filename length (atrgv[1]) was 6. The total path
length was 19. Including the null at the end, that makes 20.
Getcwd was told to allocate 256 bytes.
AFAIK, 20 < 256.

The path was /home/grante/asdf12
It failed.
When the path was /home/grante/asdf1
It succeeded.
Both files existed with 0 length and identical permissions.
It looks to me like getcwd isn't allocating 256 bytes as
requested.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 14:16:09 GMT
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to use my vt320 terminal with the screen program. Screen
(for anyone who hasn't used it) multiplexes a terminal, sort of like what X
is to running multiple xterms :) I wanted to ask here before bugging the
maintainer of the package.
Screen works just fine from an xterm or the console. But, when I run it from
my vt320 it does nothing, just prints one blank line. It doesn't even start
a new shell, which the man page says is one of the first things it does.
I've tried everything that I know to do, including running the term as a
vt100 (which sucks because I can't page up or down).
I'm using slack 7 and I hope someone can give me some ideas. Plain shell
job control leaves much to be desired. I'm using Screen version 3.09.05.
Thanks for any help. Matthew

Also, it's a common misconception that root can go around reading and
writing to anything and everything. If root owns a file and it is set read
only, even root can't write to it unless you chmod it. Same with other
permissions.

Yes I'm having the same problem over here, happened yesterday, and just
once, new posts don't seem to suffer from this. Don't know where this is
coming from, but I know it also occured in other linux-NG's

There is an error in the top line and it should read:
bunzip2 -dc blah.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
There is no Z because it is not in gzip format
