I think that approach could be acceptable. Aside: I hadn't noticed that he broke the thread, but I suspect he did, which is not good, unless he's really changing subjects--then it might be a good idea as long as the new subject line accurately reflects the contents of the new thread (and doesn't leave an unanswered question in the old thread). The reason I say it might be a good idea is that it may make the information easier to find in a search of the archives.

Hmm, don't understand your point. The question seems valid to me -- he's a broadband user, and he wants to monitor things like the number of bytes transferred, duration of connection, etc. (Things that can typically be done for a modem (non-broadband) connection. Maybe your point is re "connect"? I know some broadband connections are always on (IIUC) (things like a cable modem) but does that also apply to things like xDSL and ISDN?

Attempting to do so: * In numeric representation, the sticky bits are represented by a 4th octal digit (e.g., 2777 vs. 777) (notice the extra octal digit is at the front) * In (the binary representation of) that octal digit, the first bit is for user, the second for group, and the last for world (IIUC) * In the alphabetic representation, a 4th group of three letters is *not* added, but instead the appropriate x is substituted by a t or s to indicate the bit is set, *and* * (IIRC) that t or s is uppercase or lowercase depending on whether the x bit for that group is set or not (and I don't recall whether uppercase or lowercase indicates the x bit is set, but I'd lean towards uppercase). regards, Randy Kramer > > On Tuesday 11 May 2004 9:11 am, Antonio Rodriguez wrote: > > > > > BTW, the "sticky bits" are overlaid on top of these to create the extra > > > digit... > > > 4 2 1 > > > rwx rwx rwx > > > > can you be more explicit? > > Sure, I'll try the first rwx is the 4's place, the second rwx is the 2's > place, and the third rwx is the 1's place... it's another 3 digit binary > number overlaid on TOP of the exisiting permissions. > > so, "group" sticky would be. > > 0 1 0 > > which gives us a 2. > > "user" sticky would be a 1 0 0 or, 4, this is mostly used to make stuff run > "setuid" by another user (usually root) > > and "other" sticky (used by the /tmp directory..shows up as a t in the > permissions list) would be 0 0 1 or 1 > > rwsrwsrwt would be what it would look like at > > I hope that makes more sense. > > > > > > so group sticky would be 2777 in this example... and it prints as > > > > > > rwx rws rwx > > > > Very unclear.

Zoom Doesn't Work for all Files (was Re: Viewing PDFs)
I'd like to piggyback on this a little bit. Sometimes when I'm reading a .pdf, the magnifier / zoom buttons (or zoom function) don't work. (I think I'm using kpdf by default, but I'm not at that machine at the moment.) Seems to be a file based thing, some files work, some don't. Is there anything I can do to "force" zoom to work? (Change something in the .pdf file??) Randy Kramer Paul Johnson wrote: --

Bob: How much RAM is on the machine you are using? Is the slowness you perceive in konqueror a result of konqueror itself or a result of swapping? (Try runing top and checking it periodically.) When I started using Linux I found it to be very slow compared to Windows (95) until I got enough memory to minimize swapping with my usage habits. (I happily ran several Windows machines with 16 MB, I started getting satisfied with Linux at around 128 MB, my main machine is now at 512 MB, and I'd be happier with another 256. regards, Randy Kramer
