Sure, you are not sending the Content-type header before sending your
data. Try putting this before you send any data:
print("Content-type: text/html\n\n");
This should solve your problem.

compiling debian packages (was Re: number of problems...)

re-attaching a terminal to a disconnected process
I'm thinking about a setup like this: our application would run on a Linux box at the central office, one instance (process) for each user. Some users would be connected over the central office's ethernet. Other users would be at remote offices connected perhaps directly over a modem to the central office's Linux box. The remote machines might be running Linux or just a terminal program. What happens to the remote user's process on the central Linux box if the connection between the remote machine and the central office's Linux box is broken? This could happen by a telephone line glitch or someone turning off the remote machine or power failure, etc. I suppose the process would be killed, right? Is there a way to tell the process to keep running even if its terminal is disconnected, and then later re-attach a terminal to it, perhaps the same terminal from the remote office or perhaps the system administrator's terminal at the central office so he could inspect the status of the process and close it down gracefully? -- Frank [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

rxvt Backspace key doesn't delete anymore
After my vacation, I came back to a special root login that looked like I needed to do some repairs. This was not the normal login prompt. The disks look fine (did e2fsck on them) but now XFree-3.3 wouldn't recognise my [Windows] keys as Meta keys in X, and the Backspace key enters a ~ character and beeps instead of deleting. I fixed the Meta keys with xmodmap (even reinstalling XFree and reconfiguring wouldn't help get back the default behaviour) but I don't know how to fix the backspace key. BTW, it works fine for root, and I can't find anything nasty in any dot file. `xev' says the backspace key is keycode 22, so I tried stty erase 0x22 It doesn't help.

Interface to the vacation program?
Hi, we use a SMTP/POP3 mail solution running in a Debian box. I find the vacation program very useful when users are out of the office. However, my users do not even know there is a Unix box behind the scenes because all they is a nice mail program like Eudora with a nice Windows user interface. It is just impossible to expect my users to log into the Unix box and run the vacation program. Not to mention they have to use vi to edit the vacation message. So, my question is: does anyone know if there is a WWW interface to the vacation program? I am thinking about a web page/CGI script that allows the user to specify his/her e-mail address and the vacation message and have the CGI run the vacation program for him. Later, when the user returns to the office he/she can access the same Web page to disable the vacation program (the CGI will remove the .forward file). This would be great!!! Any suggestions or pointers will be appreciated. Thanks, E.- -- Eloy A.

Re: netbook and diskless workstations
> "Colin" == Colin R Telmer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: Colin> Does anyone have any experience using netboot? Look into the `transnames' kernel patch; which I think might be part of the 2.1.x kernels now. With that, I think you could boot a '95 workstation with a floppy. The kernel on the floppy would use the bootp and could mount the root filesystem of the server. It's something like nfsroot, but is a better solution. I'm not going to write a bunch about it; you can research it just fine, I imagine. Here's the docs, grabbed from: http://www.math.muni.cz/cgi-bin/LSD?Version=2.1.54&Arch=i386&File=Documentation/transname.txt Transname version 1.9 (C) 1997 Thomas Schoebel-Theuer transname enables diskless clients, X-terminals etc to mount the *root filesystem* of the server. This make administration of large pools a lot easier. Wherefore is linux-2.0.21-transname.patch? Currently different diskless clients must have their root / on different directories on the server, beause each client has _some_ different configuration files. However, most files (typically about 99%) have the same contents on the clients and on the server, but have to be replicated (and maintained separately) just because of the 1% differences. This duplication causes very large efforts in practise, since at least the /etc directory has to be duplicated for every client. Even in /etc many files are identical, for example sendmail.cf, initrc scripts and others. Maintaining a large pool means to ensure coherence amoung the duplicates. Classical methods like symlinks are unconvenient for this task because they have to be valid in the view of mounted filesystems at all clients, not at the server. Linux transname overcomes this problem by allowing filenames to be context-dependend. For example, if you have a file /etc/config that should differ on the hosts "myserver" and "myclient", you just create two different files named /etc/config#host=myserver# and /etc/config#host=myclient# . On host "myserver", the file /etc/config#host=myserver# will appear as if it were hardlinked to file /etc/config (without the #...=...# suffix). On host "myclient", the corresponding other file will appear as /etc/config. So you can access the right file contents under the _same_ name, depending on which host you are working. A similar concept can be found in elder HP-UX versions, but with so-called "hidden directories" which don't allow contemporary viewing all versions by default. In contrast, transname shows all context-dependent files in the dir listing and they can be edited using the fully qualified name. Transname was developped for and is used at our Linux pool at the University of Stuttgart with good results. Maintainance of the pool is at a minimum, and adding new clients is a child's play. No worry with keeping up mail configurations, newly installed tools, changed /etc/services, /etc/shells, /etc/resolv.conf and many, many others. In contrast to a sophisticated symlink solution, adding a new file to the /etc directory is seen immediately by all clients. An example for the use of linux-2.0-transname.patch: For example, you can make your /etc/fstab context-dependend. If you want to do that, you should create an /etc/fstab#ktype=default# for the server and an /etc/fstab#ktype=diskless# for all clients. This is because your clients may not yet know their own hostname when they attempt to mount the root filesystem. You can compile in the kerneltypes "default" and "diskless" into different kernels for servers and clients. Of course, if your clients boot via bootp and know their names when mounting the root, you can use /etc/fstab#host=myclient# instead. But at least servers booting from disk normally dont know their hostname at root mount time, so you can mix methods and use /etc/fstab#ktype=default# for the server, /etc/fstab#ktype=diskless# for the majority of the clients and /etc/fstab#host=myclient# for some specific client, because translation of #host=...# is given precedence over #ktype=...# by default. This sort of name translation works with any underlying file system and with any inode type (i.e. with directories, symlinks, devices etc), because it is implemented in the VFS layer of the kernel. Currently, five types of default translations are supported: * #host=# depends on the hostname, see "uname -n" * #kname=# works with a hard compiled-in string * #ktype=# works with a hard compiled-in string * #machine=# depends on architecture, see "uname -m" * #system=# currently only supported by Linux, see "uname -s" Others may be added in future. The current translation are displayed at boot time in the kernel messages for easier debugging, and can be retrieved by reading /proc/sys/kernel/nametrans which is a special file containing the currently valid translations. The default translations change whenever the hostname(1) is set or changed. Thus, the hostname is not set (or set to the name "(none)") at bo

The main feature of the SB64 is a new form of WaveTableSynthesis, that gives you more natural sounds and 32 additional voices. However, these are software emulated with windows driver.

Do not expect a lot. Linux is young, and sound is not the most important thing to have working (although I think it is *very* important :) Software synthesis has performance problems. You have to process a lot of memory, because good samples are big. The quality of the samples is most important. The AwE64 as well as the AWE32 have the same basic samples, and they *are* basic.

Re[4]: Debian + PC with multi RS... port -> n x (text d
My experience is with hp terminals using enq-ack protocol. When you send stuff to one of the "devices" (screen, printer port, mini-tape, etc.) the keyboard gets locked for the duration of that transfer. Usually, this is not very long. If the line is fast, you don't have much time to do anything between transfers. The program I wrote used binary transfers so we could dump raster graphics to the terminal printer. There are other ways to do it than the one I used but it requires a tricky driver in the operating system. Old hp rte systems used to be able to read/write to the mini-cartridge tape system in the 2645 terminal while you did something else on the screen. If you limit the data to simple ascii print, you have a much better chance. If the stuff you write is really short (less than 2k) then the time you can't type is going to be pretty short. vt terminals... I don't know. I have no idea how they handle the keyboard when you dump stuff to the printer port. The problem can be solved. You have to know a *LOT* about the terminal you are going to use. There are always some tricks that you have to learn that aren't in the manuals.

Or just a larger RAM buffer in the printer and hopefully a fast line, after all I don't think that in a POS system anyone would need to print large reports at one of the terminals, most likely just a few lines on a page for each sell or incoming materials.

RE: xdm, xinit and startx problem
Hi, With regards to your xman problem, have you checked the permissions of /dev/null? I had exactly the same problem and messages from xman with an installation of Slackware - it was because /dev/null only had root permissions. I had to chmod it so that everybody could use /dev/null. This solved the xman problem. Perhaps this is your problem with Xman, but perhaps not. Just an idea.

number of problems...
i'm running debian 1.3.1 and i need whatever help i can get on all these problems! problem one: bitchx i have bitchx73 installed, and i cannot get it to run properly. when run, it tells me the current term (defaulted to 'linux') doesn't have a termcap entry. upon starting, everything looks cool until it logs into an irc server, and then the text wigs out (shifts to the right...which setfont/clear doesn't fix, so i have to log out) and i can't see the topic bar. i telnet into my box at work and run bitchx fine, with topic bar and all. i've tried exporting 'ansi', 'vt100', and any other guessable terms to the TERM variable with no avail. has anyone else had these problems running bitchx with debian out of the box? problem 2: icmp firewalling how do i prevent incoming icmp traffic (read: nukes) from coming into my system? using ipfwadm just yields the "unknown protcol" command when specifying ICMP (using correct syntax...verified with many users). problem 3: telnet lockups when i telnet into my solaris box to run bitchx, the telnet session locks upon loading bitchx. i kill the pid and do it again, and it works fine every time. the first time i open a telnet session with my shell, it totally locks up. i find this error strange because it always corrects itself on the second attempt. problem 4: joystick the joystick module in the debain 1.3.1 package doesn't work for my 2.0.30 kernel, and the joystick.tgz from the hardware compatability howto (which links to sunsite) won't compile correctly problem 5: xview (or not?) xview clients from dselect claims that it needs xtoolfind (or something like that), but it doesn't appear to be available. is the actual xview program in the debian distro, or just the libs? problem 6: mpeg_play this isn't necessarily a problem, because i switched to mtv, but i was unable to run mpeg_play because i was missing libm.so.4 (with libc installed). shouldn't a module dependency notification come up if i need something? problem 7: windowmaker i cannot get windowmaker to install because it doesn't believe i have the xpm libs (although they are clearly in /usr/X11R6/lib/). what is causing this? i appreciate any help that could be sent my way...thanks! justin honold [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Debian + PC with multi RS... port -> n x (text dumb t
Yes, that's not a bad point, surviving machines in case of a crash... provided the software on the 386's is designed not to necessarily send everything immediately to the main dbase... ... but also PROVIDED there is no need to consult the main dbase, which is much likely necessary if you have to translate a barcode into a price + description to print + what else, or even before doing the sell maybe just to look for something the customer wants and see if it is available before walking some hundred meters looking for it... I think nobody would think about replicating data on each of the 386's! Each one of our registers has a enough information in its own private database so that it can run without any problems. The only functionality that is lost is automatic credit card authorization and house charge accounts, in which case we can call the cards in manually and hand write house charges up. Having for sure surviving machines... would we have them in the end? I mean, what scares me is all that ethernet running here and there, it sounds more critical than a serial line (short or with a couple modems at worst for the longest paths). What happens if it is the ethernet connection that falls? (By the way, do _your_ 386's boot via ethernet or do they have Linux on their own hard disk?) Isn't it much a weaker point than only having to take care of one (or a few) Debian box(es) with "strong" software? (What geometrical configuration have you ethernet points, a bus?) Our 386's run dos and boot from the hard drive. The ethernet in the store is one big loop. There is a single repeater that runs over fiber optic cable to a remote register in another building.
