"Daemon" is a function defined in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions file which is sourced in at the top of sendmail. It starts the passed program after doing some sanity checks and it allows all startup scripts to look/act alike. Good luck, Brad. __ Do you Yahoo!?

DSL (scary) question
Hey all, I was trying to order DSL for a friend's company yesterday and I thought you all might like to hear the story. First, since the company uses Ameritech phone lines, I thought I'd start there. Checked their website but it was too far. Verified distance problems with DSLReports.com and quickly gave up on that option. Second, neither of the local cable companies provided cable to the location due, I think, primarily to the fact that it's a commercial area. Thirdly, started looking into wireless offerings from some local companies when I came across an ISP who said they could provide DSL to the area. I checked their website, sure enough, they provide DSL over Ameritech lines, so I was quite skeptical. Call the ISP and asked if DSL really is available at the address in question. They said "yes it is". I asked "how it was possible that you can provide DSL over Ameritech lines but Ameritech can't?" The salesman said, and I quote, "because we have more powerful equipment." My instinct is telling me to stay as far away from them as possible but I'm REALLY curious. Do you all think I should follow my instincts or should I pursue a relationship with them (until they realize they can't provide what they promise)? Brad. __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

Networking issues
I have a network of WinXX PC's with a single Linux box acting as the gateway/firewall/dhcp server/e-mail server/etc. My Linux box connects to the ISP via 128K ISDN dial-up line (too far away for DSL and cable is N/A). When I first connect the Linux box to the ISP, I can: 1) Use the Linux box to traceroute to everything (the ISP blocked ICMP so I can't ping outside their network). 2) Use the Linux box to browse the web (using Lynx). 3) Use the WinXX PC's to browse the web to "some" sites (google, domains hosted by ISP, etc.) When I first connect the Linux box to the ISP, I can not: 1) Use the WinXX PC's to tracert beyond the first two hops, Linux box is first and the ISP's router is the second. 2) Use the WinXX PC's to browse the web to anything "big" such as Yahoo!, ABCNews, FoxNews, WeatherChannel, etc. After a while (sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 20 or more) I begin to lose some functionality. Such as traceroute from Linux to the world or pinging the ISP's router, etc. The ISDN Terminal Adapter (i.e., modem) sends the requests, the SD light goes on, but never receives a reply, no RD light. I've been experiencing this problem for the last week to 10 days. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be the cause? I've replaced some hardware including the hub and cabling and I've tried using an analog modem but the same problem persists. The Linux box has been running for a very long time without any changes. (For those of you heavily in the Windows world, a user rebooted the Linux box the other day to see if it would fix the problem but it, obviously, didn't.) TIA, Brad. __ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

You're right about argv[1] being the value of the
first parameter and you can use that together with
argc for the number of parameters. So a simple little
loop like:
for(i=1;i<=argc;i++) {
do stuff with argv[i]
}
would process each parameter in order.
For the second example, you're processing the
filenames from stdin. You simply treat stdin just
like a file and read the "file" to obtain the "data"

Brad.

Here's a little 3-line awk script that should work.
# set flag when we find the beginning
/lineA/ { found = 1 }
# print only when we haven't found the beginning
{ if (! found) print($0) }
# clear flag when we find the end
/lineB/ { found = 0 }

vi -s script-file data-file

I didn't realize that you wanted to retain their position for use later on.

Re: Windows client, linux X server
You are very close with the definitions you used. The only changes I would suggest is that the PC is actually running the X-server because it's serving up its screen, keyboard and mouse. The system running the X-windows system is actually called the X-client because it runs the applications. The easiest way for me to remember these definitions is to remember they're backwards from what I would initially think would be the case. Definitions not withstanding, here are a couple of other options for you: 1) http://www.microimages.com/mix/ I've used this in 'demo' mode and it seems to work well -- much faster than the standard VNC stuff and it's only $25 to buy it. 2) http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/ I'd like to use this, it's free, but I haven't been able to install it without all the other Cygwin stuff.

Re: xterm/tty problems
Something easy to check is the TERM environment variable. The value should have come across the rlogin from the originating session but that doesn't mean that it's correct. There is also a possibility that it's being reset in the .bashrc/.profile scripts. To check it: $ echo $TERM To set it: $ export TERM=vt220 Good luck, Brad. --- Alan Jackson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > A colleague at work asked me the following, and I > couldn't quite remember > how to fix it. > > She logs into a Linux frontend for our beowolf > cluster, using rlogin, and > when she runs man, it leaves the xterm in a state > such that everything is > underlined after that.

Re: RH 8 font problem
Tim, two quick questions: 1) I seem to remember that either chkfontdir or ttmkfdir could only handle fonts with lowercase names. When you copied the fonts from Windows, did the newly created font files contain uppercase letters? 2) Again, IIRC, the ttmkfdir command only created the fonts.scale file and mkfontdir command created the fonts.dir. Do you have both of these files and do they look okay? Brad. --- Tim Wunder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I've been trying to troubleshoot a problem with > TrueType fonts and RH 8.

Re: Allow all access to database files (dumb newbie question)
Has anyone suggested taking advantage of the security within Linux/UNIX? Why not: 1) create a group for the project 2) add users to the group who need access to this project 3) create a directory such as /opt/project or /home/project or /home/projects/project 4) assign the permissions for this directory so that only the group from #1 can read/write/etc. 5) move all project related files into the directory and adjust permissions as appropriate 6) verify that the newly created directory(ies) are being backed up as desired 7) celebrate that the issue is: a) resolved b) secure c) easily maintainable d) proof of concept for other projects Once you've done a few of these types of little projects, you start to see the benefits/drawbacks of where you put things. Then, hopefully, you can move the directories and simply create symlinks.

Re: writing a MBR to a non-boot disk that will end up being a bootdisk
Actually there are options within the lilo.conf file to set/reset the BIOS numbers of the drives. If you read the man page for lilo.conf, you'll see an option: disk=/dev/ that option has a "sub-option" to set the BIOS number. I realize it probably is not going to satisfy Steve's original request but it might be helpful to some. I had a system a while back with two drives; hda had COL 1.2 and hdb had Win95. At the LILO prompt if I simply booted Win95 it tried to run as D: but I was able to fix that with this option.

Re: about Cypheus
I'm guessing that the German message translates into something like: Your C:\ does not have enough free diskspace. You need at least 26.91 MB to install this package. Free up some disk space and click . If that doesn't appear to be the problem, I would look for any upgrades/patches to Cypheus that you can download.

These look like nice packages but I wouldn't quite categorize them as MRP systems. In addition to the standard accounting modules (payables, receivables, payroll, general ledger, fixed assets, etc.) and some inventory control modules (inventory, sales, purchasing, etc.) an MRP system needs a few more manufacturing modules (work order, backflush, repetitive scheduling (esp. in the automotive industry,) capacity planning, production line planning, shipping, BOM/routings, requirements planning, business-to-business EDI/Ecommerce etc.) I think your best bet is to convince a company to allow their older, obsolete, closed-source systems to become open-source. I'm sure there are several example companies that do this but I can only think of Sendmail, Inc. Maybe a few other examples would add a bit of weight to the request. "Sendmail is the most successful and most widely used e-mail system in the world and the reason is, in no small part, due to the fact that their older versions are open and free to download." What other companies can we suggest that have had similar success? __ Do You Yahoo!?
