This works, but it's alot slower than "find . -type f -name '*.txt' -print |
xargs grep "Hello World".

Subject: Changing ports for telnetd?
Date: Sat, 09 Dec 2000 15:30:01 GMT
Here's the problem I'm having - I'm attempting to switch ports with
regard to ssh and telnetd. I've changed the ssh launch line to
"$PATH/sshd -p 23", which seems to work. I've changed /etc/services for
sshd to be port 23, and telnetd to port 22. Now, ssh incoming works OK,
but telnet incoming connects, then says "bind:address in use". Same
problem if I switch to some other random port that I know isn't in use.
Can anyone give me any help?

I have Mandrake 7.2. Everything is running except
for one thing: it will not complete a shutdown.
After shutting down processes it generates the message "INIT: No more
processes in this runlevel" at which point the machine just sits
there. I don't want to say the box is hung, because when I hit
Ctrl-Alt-Delete the disk gets hit with something.
I can also switch to other console using ALT+ F2...F6 but I can not log.
I was trying:
shutdown -h now - the same
halt - the same
How to soleve this problem, I did not have such problems with Mandrake
7.1 and RH 6.2. On RH 7.0 I had the same problem.

Do you have a copy of the compressed kernel on hdb1? Like /boot/bzImage or
/boot/vmlinuz? If not do:
mkdir /boot
cp /mnt/floppy/bzImage /boot/
cp /mnt/floppy/System.map /boot/
then edit /mnt/floppy/lilo.conf and change
image = /mnt/floppy/bzImage
to:
image = /boot/bzImage
then run:
/sbin/lilo -C /mnt/floppy/lilo.conf
You may have to change this to reflect your system's directories and
files - and - well, it's just an idea. That's what you asked for.
And make a copy of the floppy, BEFORE you do any changes.
Good Luck,

In the general case, that might be true. However, this guy is trying to
implement a heavy duty database server. The problem is that OS folks and
DB folks are not really seeing eye to eye: databases have rather
different locality and access behavior from ordinary disk usage. It is
better for Oracle to manage its own memory: it is unlikely that the
operating system will "outsmart" the database server in DB
matters. OTOH, I was under the impression that the kernel will only
allocate memory that is unused by other apps. If Oracle claims the RAM
that it needs, the kernel will not steal it for buffering. Perhaps this
is more a question of Oracle's configuration rather than Linux.

I installed helix gnome, and at the last when the splash screen came up
asking me if I wanted to make it my default wm I said no. I was lead to
believe that to start it all I had to do was type 'gdm' from
the console. However that doesn't work nor does 'gnome-session'. Seeing as
I have it installed, how do I start it from runlevel 3?
This is on a Caldera box btw.

I second the heat suggestion, however, when I've had this problem, it's
been the memory, which you've checked, or the MB. I've had some *very*
weird problems caused by MB's and power supplies. I've never seen a
signal 11 from a power supply problem though, usually unreliable
booting, and mysterious reboots in the middle of the night, despite
being on a UPS.
If you do want to try another CPU, you can find old stuff like this on
eBay, Yahoo, and other auction sites. The prices seem a little high
though. I was thinking of upgrading my workshop machine to 233MHz, the
fastest the MB can do, but the bidding on the auction sites was getting
high enough that I've decided to get a 500MHz or so (probably AMD) at
a local store and a new MB with it, some time after the Christmas
expenses. Sure it will still cost more, but a much better
performance/dollar ratio...

I am very much not a database expert, so I can't comment on the
usability of MySQL for various business uses, but I have used it as a
backend for some intranet web search engines.
I just installed it per the directions that came with the search
software (UDM Search, since renamed, I can't remember the new name),
and it's been working perfectly since. I'm quite happy with it.

To make it worse, you can't use the floppy and the CD at the same
time, and various network installs could not see the ethernet card to
do a network install.
I loaded the A and N slackware (4.0, if I remember, I think 3.5 the
first time) sets from floppies, then set up networking. I then mounted
the Slackware CD via NFS and loaded the rest.
By careful package selection, I have X and everything I *really* need,
plus a small amount of data with 89M still free (81M free on the W95
side).
When at home or work, with a network handy, I rely heavily on
NFS mounted filesystems and SMB/SAMBA so that I have a little more
space.Right now, I'm just X'ing back my news, mail and web software
from one of my desktop machines.

That works with newer versions of grep, but if you find yourself on
older versions of Linux or on some other Unix then you'll have problems.
'find . -type f -print | xargs grep -le pattern' is a more portable
equivalent.

That can be true. But for a dbms server to do that, it is better for
it to use raw io instead of system buffered io. It is my understanding
that Linux kernels 2.4* will have this capability, but that earlier
versions do not. I.e., were he using IBM DB2 UDB (instead of Oracle),
in his CREATE DATABASE command, he would use the MANAGED BY DATABASE
(instead of MANAGED BY SYSTEM) USING DEVICE /dev/rsda1 (or whatever
partition he wants it on)... . That way, he will not be at the mercy
of the IO buffering scheme of the OS he is using. I assume something
similar can be done in Oracle. Furthermore, if he writes a page to
disk, and then reads it back and compares, if the comparison is equal,
he can be sure the write went to disk. If it is also written to the
logfile or journal tape, he can safely commit the transaction.

Not necessarily. It all depends, in the words of our president, on
what *used* means. The OS generally tries to keep a process's working
set in memory, but not the rest (unless the process locks the memory
in core), so his dbms server would need to use mlock(2) or mlockall(2)
calls to achieve this. Otherwise, the kernel would steal this memory
if it did not seem to be in the working set. The trouble with locking
a process's memory to core is that while it may do the desired local
optimization for that particular process, it frequently compromises
the throughput of the entire system. When things get really close, it
is better to use a real-time operating system instead of something
like Unix-Linux.

Only if it locks its buffers to core. Otherwise, if the OS deems the
buffers to not be in the working set, it can page them out.
