Hmm... No... But... :-)
Since upgrading all machines on my home lan (4) to the 2.2 kernel
series I have problems with a laptop using an DLINK 620 pocket
adapter.
Very slow (about 10% of what it used to be) with ftp and html.
The realy strange thing with it is; if I use an *old* ftp client
taken from 2.0 series of kernel ftp is fast again.
Pings are fine too. There are no dropped packets or any kind of
networking errors. It's just dead slow. :-(
The problem is only with said laptop. All other machines (which use
noname ne2000 cards) are *faster* with the new kernel.
The laptop is fast with older kernels and NT.
I have played with all networking parameters I could think off, but no
improvement.
If somebody has an idea how to fix it, please let me know.

Friedhelm

Despite of what all experts say, I have once opened up a drive,

I assume you've used "kill -9 pid"?
Will do. Thanks to you and all the others. Also thanks for pointing out
that I should have read the man page.
I just looked at it and taking a closer look shows this command.
Note that if a program is supposed to do some cleanup when killed that cleanup
won't happen if you kill -9. Therefore don't make kill -9 your standard
way of killing things. Also if you kill your login shell do use kill -1,
which is the signal the shell expect when the terminal is hung up by a modem.

Okay, when I first run this script, I want to check who the user is that
is running without asking them. Thus, I want to use the output from
whoami
So when I first wrote my script I did
i=whoami
However, then i is just assigned the word "whoami" and not the user. How
to you get the output of a small binary like that to write to a
variable??
I am sure this must be possible.
Please e-mail your response to

HOWEVER Key think here is that the user also has a samba password.
It is like when you share with windows 2000, and you have to be a user on
the computer to be able to access the computer's shares. In this case
how, the person does not have to be a user, but they do need to have a
samba passsword. The easiest way to do this is to run in netscape,
http://localhost:901/
(make sure to login at the prompt as root)
and then go to the password section and add yourself and whoever else you
want to share. Make their username and password the same as in windows
98. Then, make sure that you are using encrypted passwords.

hello i need help with my samba setup. I setup my samba server on a
redhat 6.2 . it runs fine i could run the client and everything. where
i'm having trouble is the network password for sharing a folder.
here's a sample of my smb.conf file
[global]
workgroup = cs server string = localhost # computer name securtiy =
SHARE
[setup] # folder that i see in network neigh win98
comment = progrme folders path = /usr/local/src/users # where files
are located valid users = system12 # user that has access for files
read list = yes write list = yes create mask = 0777 # i guess this is
the permission for the folder right
so know i go to the win98 machine reboot , and login as "system12" with
the password that i issud when creating the user name in my linux box.
after that i go to network neigh click on "localhost" i see the folder
called "setup" double click on it then it asked me for the password
i type if in then i get this error .
"The password is incorrect. Try again"
so can someone tell me what the hell i'm doing wrong.
Thank you

the password should be encrypted in the smb.conf files.

Hello.
I am running samba 2.0.7 on a RH 6.2 machine.
I would like to be able to inform users when they have almost reached
their quota limit with a pop-up window. I know I have to use the
"smbclient -M" to do this, but I am not certain of how it should be
implemented. Is there something I can do in smb.conf to have it:
1)check how much space is left on their quota share everytime they save
something
2)send them the pop-up message.
Has anyone else tried this?
I would really love to hear how you did it, and some sample smb.conf /
shell script code would be great.
Thanks!

Sorry guys I forgot to put in the 's (joelwebb)
did you use the kdeconfig rpm if --nodeps and --force flagged, it
overwrites the login manager painlessly and offers you both kde and
kde2. I had it running in thirty minutes.
I looked for kdeconfig. Where is that rpm?? There is no tool on the
machine right now labeled kdeconfig nor an rpm on www.rpmfind.net.
The logon screen it offers kde1 and kde2. The kde2 craps out completely
and comes back to the logon screen. KDE1 goes into the new KDE mode
with a grey screen and bombs out, shows a KDE error:
The application KNotify (knotify) crashed and caused the signal 11
(SIGSEGV)
then brings up Kandall's useful tips.
I think the $PATH statement might be one of the problems, but I am
sorry I don't know the syntax of exporting the path of KDE which is I

Assuming that a call is made for /dev/foo ex.(/dev/midi00). Is there any

any?

when you run the undelete from mc, it asks you what device you want to look
at. The reason why you unmount the file system as soon as possible is
because, lets say you trashed your mp3's in your home directory. No big
deal, you just fire up mc and head to the undelete function. But you screw
up and manage to start editing a file in mc instead, mc writes out its
cache file and boom, you could have just trashed Tom Jones best hits. Its
always a good practice to unmount the file system that you just deleted the
file from as soon as you know you made a boo boo. It just prevents the
file from being overwritten and gives you a chance.
If you are only a user, you need to get ahold of the admin real fast and
see if this is something that he will even consider doing. Unmounting home
is never a happy thing during a production day. Tends to get BOFH's cranky
and most will just say hope you had a backup, leave me be.
I dont have any hard numbers on odds for recovery before and after
mounting, but I would be willing to say that it would be VERY difficult to
overwrite a sector on an unmounted disc, baring great big magnets and a few
straight pins.

Ok I'm not sure if this is what your looking for... But here goes.
If you mean you want to run a script that will set some environmental
variables or any variable for that matter then when that script
terminates and you return to the command prompt, you want those variables
to still equal what your script just set them to???
Then there is a workaround... lets say your script is named fix_env
then instead of calling it with
$ fix_env
try calling it with
$ . fix_env
the preceding dot causes the shell to execute the script with it's
current process id doesn't spawn a child

I believe I have an answer. I had this problem trying to get different
distributions of Linux to connect to Prodigy Internet. I was getting
ppd errors like these but after I supplied 'NOAUTH' to the list of
variables, everything was find ever since. Got that info from a prodigy
rep. Of course, you still have to put in your account info and DNS
crap. I believed I used KPPP.
If you like to search...goto www.prodigy.net and do a search for Linux.
One of the members made a webpage for this purpose. Hope it helps

No one will argue this with you Im sure. What really bothers me though is
the amount of NO answeres this thread received. It seems like that just
because most people dont know how to do it, they instantly spout off that
it cant be done. In fact, their are several ways to restore files on an

newbies will find comforting anyways. I just wish that people would do

Subject: Windows Manager and Desktop Enviroment
Hi,
Few things that I'm a little confused. Let me attempt to tell you want
I know (hopefully it's correct) and what I don't know and want to know.
If what I thought I knew is incorrect information, PLEASE CORRECT ME.
I understand that:
1) X Windows, (a.k.a. X server, X, etc.) is a graphical entity that runs
on many different Unix (and many of Unix's variants, Linux included)
systems. Many programs that requires GUI needs X Windows to be running
first, in order for it to run, eg., netscape. There are many different
X Windows systems available, some are free, XFree86 in particlular, and
some are commercial, Accerlerated X for example.
2) There are something called the Windows Manager (eg., Windows Maker,
After Step, fvwm, fvwm2, enlightment, sawfish, etc), and Desktop
Enviroment, a.k.a., Graphical Enviroment (eg., KDE, GNOME, etc), which
runs on top of the X Windows. These "programs" helps the user to manage
X Windows and gives a consistent and user-friendly interface between the
computer and the user.
My questions is:
1) What is the difference between a Windows Manager and a
Desktop/Graphical Enviroment.
2) What would be a good suggestion, Windows Manager or Desktop/Graphical
Enviroment.
3) And finally, which Windows Manager or which Desktop/Graphical
Enviroment should I use.
Thanks for all info,
Dan

Hard to say. But if were my property, I don't care what there are called.
If you have logs of the probes (don't waste their time if not) and any other
