Does anyone know why this is happening? According to
linuxconf, there is no password time expiry limit, and
I can still log normally with telnet command.
Please, keep the CC, thank you.

If I am to handle very lengthy and complex directories while doing a high
level application processing...
Is there any utility to go back and forth easily in the directories?
For example
If I am in the 10th sub-dir and want to go to the 4th sub-dir back and from
there another route...
Pl. let me know.

Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2000 10:33:32 -0400
Hello.
Has anyone attempted to make a diskless Solaris 7 or 8 client run off of
a Linux OS server? I am running Redhat 6.1 and have run into some
problems. I can get the Solaris machine to boot over the net with RARP
and bootparams running on the Linux box, but it is having problems. The
diskless Solaris client does not seem to be properly connecting to its
root directory via NFS. I listed the root directory in /etc/fstab,
/etc/bootparams/, and /etc/exports to allow NFS connection. My tcpdump
is the follows:
(baws is the diskless client and roan is the linux server)

It appears to me that no mounting is taking place for some reason. I
don't know if it is the Linux side or the Solaris side. My bootparams
file on the Linux box contains the OS server and directory mount point,
so I am stumped. Does anyone have any suggestions for the Linux part,
or anything?
I have been busily searching Linux and Solaris documentation,
newsgroups, etc., so here I am. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe Cooley

It is doable. First, you must have a gcc that generates a good
code for sparc64. DaveM and JJ suggested me to use egcs-1.1.2
that RH ships. Best of all is to download SRPM from a Redhat
mirror and compile it.
Then, go into the top level Makefile and set prefixes to your
compiler. Then look at the clever macro that determines what
flags to use and ardwire the sparc64 case. Also hardwire ${ARCH}.
Your binutils must support v9 assembler mnemonics.
When all is set, just do "make oldconfig && make dep && make" as always.
Good luck,

I don't know much about grup, but if the version of lilo you are
using works, there should be no reason to switch. The lilo boot
loader is really fairly simple, and it should either work or not
work. There should be no issues of stability.

AMD's Sledgehammer gets first OS pledge
By: Andrew Orlowski in San Francisco
Posted: 15/08/2000 at 04:48 GMT
AMD's Sledgehammer chip looks like it has hit the ground running. Only five days
after publishing the instruction set for the new 64-bit processor, SuSE has
announced that it has the GNU gcc compiler and some basic parts of the toolchain
ready for x86-64, and similar announcements are expected from the other Linux
distros at LinuxWorld this week.

No - it's completely impossible. All the people in the universe with
more than 64M and linux are only using 64M of it. All those smp

only using 64M. What do YOU think?
Go back to your install screen/install manual/deja.com/linuxnewbie.org

Subject: Adding a path to /etc/man.config
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2000 20:15:23 +0100
I'm running Mandrake 7.1. Several rpm packages I've installed lately put
their man pages in /usr/share/man, however /etc/man.config contains no
MANPATH statement for that path and consequently man cannot find the new
manpages.
My /etc/man.config contains the following comment at the beginning,
however:
#
# Generated automatically from man.conf.in by the
# configure script.
#
My question, then, is should I edit /etc/man.config by hand to contain
the following two lines:
MANPATH /usr/share/man
MANPATH_MAP /usr/bin /usr/share/man
or should these changes be made elsewhere and then some configure script
be run? The advantage of the latter would be that should /etc/man.config
be automatically regenerated it will contain these changes. I could not
locate a file man.conf.in to which the above comment appears to refer
anywhere on my system.
Thanks in advance,
Best,
Darren

Is it possible to add a new user and give the new user a password in one
single command?
I know that I can do:
"adduser newuser"
and then
"passwd newuser"
to change the password manually (when logged in as root).
However, the "passwd"-command asks you to type the password, and I would
like to be able to specify the password on the commandline; something
like this:
"passwd newuser newpasswd",
this would the set "newuser" password to "newpassword". How can this be
done?
