extracting tar with nonexistant users

1997-04-15 Thread ljk 

Hello,

I tried extracting a tar tape on a machine which did not
have the same users as the machine on which the tar tape was
created, it resulted in all the files created being owned by root.

I would have expected that it should have created the files
with the same uid/gids as on the original machine.

Is this normal ?

Thanks

large executables from compile

1997-04-09 Thread ljk 

Hello,

I have noticed  that a.out's are quite large on my Debian
system as compared to a previous Slackware, eg
a simple program to print "hello world" is 80k.

Using gcc 2.7.2

Any ideas ?

Thanks

icmp redirect messages

1997-03-07 Thread ljk 

Hi,

I have a peculiar situation with two machines.
On one of them, icmp redirect messages go to the kernel syslog file,
on the other the messages go to the console terminal.
Yet they both have identical syslog.conf files.

If anyone has any ideas, they would be appreciated.

Thanks much

Lennard
