max_loop option not working for autofs
I'm trying to using autofs/samba to make many iso images availabe to windows users. I have all the entries in auto.isosrv. In addition, I created static links to them all in a shared samba directory (in order to make the iso images browseable from a windows box) I can successfully mount them on the linux box by touching each one of these static links. However, When I browse that network share from a Windows box, it attempts to mount all of the mount points. It is only able to successfully mount 8. I tried to fix this by putting this in my lilo.conf "append = " mem=nopentium max_loop=64", however this does not seem to affect anything. I think I may be able to fix this problem by putting each static link inside a directory of it's own, but I was still wondering why I couldn't increase the max_loop limit. Any suggestions?

Okay I asked this question a few weeks ago and got the
above warning about Python, Perl and glibc. Can anyone
tell me if these issues been resoloved yet? I see few
Python bugs, lots of Perl bugs and only a few glibc
bugs. What's the scoop?

PHP3 files on Apache 1.3.26 and PHP4
I'm running apache 1.3.26 and php4. I've never tried to do anything w/ php on my server. I installed an app that has php3 files. When I try to browse the app, I get a mime-type error.

I continued on my google search and found this page:
http://www.opendeveloper.org/PHP/HowTo/Upgrading_From_PHP3_to_PHP4/
Which indicated that the line:
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3
should be commented out and instead use a line like
so:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .php4 .php3
This works. Once again, google and the web prove
themselves to be my friends.

Thanks, I just didn't know where to look for the
answers. How do you keep up with all of it, or even a
decent sized portion of such a large distro? BTW, are
you the glibc maintainer?

Pardon my ignorance, but there doesn't seem to be much
documentation on the gworkspace site. What is the
purpose of gworkspace say in conjunction with
WindowMaker...what would I get that I don't have by
using fsviewer, the dock and the clip?
