[newbie] User IDs start at 500 or 501?
I just installed 9.1 on a new system and ran into a difference between how the installer creates new users and how drakconf does. I created a couple of users during the install and they ended up with uid = 501 and 502. As they always have on previous versions of Mandrake. Then when the system was up I created several more, very carefully creating them in the same order as on our other systems. After I spent all the time getting them created and set up, I discovered that they did not match the uid's on our other systems. It seems that drakconf starts its numbering at 500. So, using letters for the order in which I created them, the users were a=501, b=502, c=500, d=503, e=504, etc. I had to rip out all the users from c up, create a dummy at 500 and redo them. Argghhh.

I can do 'crontab -e' quite successfully. Same version of Mandrake, same version of emacs, same .emacs file.

[newbie] Local zone time isn't sticky
On a dual boot laptop (Win98 and Mandrake 9.0), the BIOS time is set to the local zone: Pacific Standard. In Mandrake, I go into Mandrake Control Center and set the time and the time zone (PST8PDT) and answer 'No' to the question "Is your hardware clock set to GMT?" When I select 'OK' the screen blanks for several seconds, then comes back. But eventually over the next several hours, the date/time reverts to GMT. I set up a cron job to save the date/time each hour and this shows up in /var/log/messages: Mar 14 18:01:00 tribble CROND[3623]: (root) CMD (nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 14 18:05:00 tribble CROND[3638]: (andyd) CMD (/bin/date >> $HOME/date.out 2> $HOME/date.err) Mar 14 19:01:00 tribble CROND[3641]: (root) CMD (nice -n 19 run-parts /etc/cron.hourly) Mar 14 11:53:55 tribble CROND[3666]: (andyd) CMD (/bin/date >> $HOME/date.out 2> $HOME/date.err) Note the sudden time change on the last line.

Not really true if you're using something like afio to pack up and compress the files. The archive format used by afio allows it to recover from read errors and go on unpacking the next file. And if you are backing up to CD-R, then compression is of great help in keeping the number of CDs down. andy -- Andy Davidson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Recombining backup files fails
This is not exactly a Mandrake question, but since that is what I'm running, I thought I would ask here. [Mandrake 8.1, by the way.] I am making backup files (using a script that calls afio) and then putting them on CD-R disks. Since some of the backup files are greater than 640MB, I have to split the big file into pieces. I have used both dd and split to do this, apparently successfully. But now when I cat those partial files back into one big one, they seem to have errors according to 'cmp'. For example, using split, I end up with files backupaa and backupab. Do a 'cat backupaa backupab > backuptest' and compare the original backup with backuptest and get backup backuptest differ: char 351289345, line 1341543 If I try the backuptest file with 'afio -T backuptest > backtest.txt' I get errors, though not at the same place as cmp found.

Should there be several rows?] I go back to my user account and run 'startx', the screen blanks for about 90 seconds and the desktop wizard comes up. I choose xfce and come up in that window manager. [Another problem: I can't save any xfce configuration changes.

[newbie] autologin does run .bash_profile
Strange problem with logging in. Until yesterday I was letting the system come up in console mode, logging in as 'andyd' and then running 'startx' to get into X-Windows. Yesterday I chose the option of being logged in automatically as andyd and in KDE. When I do that, it appears that it is not a login session. At least .bash_profile does not get run. If I switch back to doing logging in manually, .bash_profile does get run. Shouldn't autologin run .bash_profile as the login shell script? The current workaround, of course, is to log in at a console first, then run 'startx'. But does anybody have any idea how I could make autologin do what I think it should?
