Looks like Comcast has changed my IP addy, so the change has taken effect. I have a personal web calendar running on my linux box that I access from work, and I can't get to it anymore. Seems like you're in the same boat, now. Pings of www.hammershome.com, which resolves to 24.182.146.18, time out. Do you happen to know what the new mailserver name is supposed to be? In all the correspondence they've sent me (two e-mails and a snail mail, same as you), they haven't said anything regarding the mail server that my comcast.net e-mail address wants. Since we're supoosed to be geting @home mail until Feb. 28, I'm not too worried about it, but it'd be nice if, like other ISPs, they'd give the information required to their customers. From the headers of your e-mail, it looks like it'll be "pcp361333pcs.towson01.md.pvcomcast.net", or something like that.

When you suspend something with ctrl-z, it is given a job control number (usually 1 unless you have other background processes). Then you can type 'fg 1' to get it back (bring it to the foreground) or 'bg 1' to put it in the background (start running again as if you had run it with an & at the end of the command).

Do name lookups (name to IP mappings) get cached on a client machine (one without a nameserver)? Arp lookups (MAC to IP mappings) do, but what about DNS? My answer was that they don't. My reasoning was that name resolution is handled by glibc, so it's running in user space, so the results aren't available to other applications. I guess you could say that an application may cache the lookup, but if 2 applications use the same name there are 2 lookups done. Naturally this is easy to answer empirically, but I don't have all the network tools I'd like at the moment. Thanks!

RE: StepXStep CD BURNERS-IDE
Sir, I am rephrasing the thing. I have windows XP on one partition. I have Linux(SUSE 7.1, kernel 2.4) on another On windows partition there is a 16x CD-RW of Priya(a local company). I want this CDRW to work also with Linux as my ASUS CD-R is working. I was asking from where I will find the STEP x STEP tutorial for this.

You get better security (pserver encrypts passwords over the 'net, but trivially) and easier admin (you can use regular user accounts rather than a separate password file, because of the increased security). I haven't set up cvs to use ssh, but there is info for it on the above site. You use ssh as a replacement for rsh and it should be straightforward.

I finally found out that the distro I was using, installed a Minix file system on the floppy before copying the boot data to the disk. YMMV. I think I was running a SuSE distro at the time. Seems to me they used the minix fs to save space on the floppy. If you are running SuSE 7.2 or 7.3 Pro, check the Reference Manual - look in the index for boot disks or rescue disks. Sorry I can't give you more specific information. OTOH, since you *are* running a recent SuSE distro, you should be able to make a duplicate in YaST 2. Look at YaST 2=>Control Center=>System, and then under boot disks or rescue disks - I'm kinda hazy on the last stop, there.

Do name lookups (name to > IP mappings) get cached on a client machine (one without a nameserver)? Arp > lookups (MAC to IP mappings) do, but what about DNS? I suppose this is an implementation detail, but RFC1035 suggests that resolver libraries should cache all data: " 7.4. Using the cache In general, we expect a resolver to cache all data which it receives in responses since it may be useful in answering future client requests. However, there are several types of data which should not be cached: - When several RRs of the same type are available for a particular owner name, the resolver should either cache them all or none at all. When a response is truncated, and a resolver doesn't know whether it has a complete set, it should not cache a possibly partial set of RRs. - Cached data should never be used in preference to authoritative data, so if caching would cause this to happen the data should not be cached. - The results of an inverse query should not be cached. ... In a similar vein, when a resolver has a set of RRs for some name in a response, and wants to cache the RRs, it should check its cache for already existing RRs. Depending on the circumstances, either the data in the response or the cache is preferred, but the two should never be combined. If the data in the response is from authoritative data in the answer section, it is always preferred."

When you suspend something with ctrl-z, it is given a job control number (usually 1 unless you have other background processes). Then you can type 'fg 1' to get it back (bring it to the foreground) or 'bg 1' to put it in the background (start running again as if you had run it with an & at the end of the command).
