Fixed it by moving it to the linux box and using the UP (uniprint) version of the bjc-600 print driver. Not sure if this driver version is available with printtool for 5.2. But, it's been in ghostscript for a long time. I first experimented with it when I had 5.2 installed. A good alternative: move the printr as stated above and install RH6.0 or above. I know it's available in the default printtool drivers supplied with 6.0 and 6.2. -- Make yourself at home.

'man X' (thats's a capital X) explains, in inordinate detail, how geometries and other settings work. Also, you can look around on your system for 'xdefaults' (vim has one on mine) and Xdefaults (emacs has one of those). You can also find lots of information on the internet via search engines that will explain things in far less detail than the nampages.

Actually you were right when you believed that the + meant that you didn't have cylinder boundary partitions. You can, and should, get the + when doing the partition that starts at the head of the disk. Why? Because the first track, or 63 sectors, are set aside for the partition table. So, even when you set the end sector to land at the end of the cylinder boudary, it adds the + because it is one track short. A short cylinder that MUST be short. It can get confusing when it does that, because you look at what you enter and don't see what it is telling you that you did wrong. But, as soon as you tell fdisk to show you the partition sizes in sectors, you'll notice that you really don't start at 0 for the first one, but 63 sectors, i.e., one track, into the cylinder. After the first partition, you and then use the + as a guide to tell you that you really did manage not to create partitions in cylinder lengths. That is my take on this.

I had been doing before was getting cron to e-mail me every hour so I know

not use cut but I bet cut could be utilized in some way here to achieve what

RE: ipfwadm syntax
Does the server need to receive some kind of feedback, like an "I'm ready to receive" packet? it appears as though this would be blocked, thus the transfer would never start. I can guess at how to fix in ipchains, but I don't know anything about ipfwadm. Maybe allowing outgoing packets to the stream server, or better yet, allowing all outgoing packets on the port and only accpepting requested responses on the receive side. Would look something like this in ipchains: # Set for streaming #Allow output for initiating stream ipchains -A output -i eth[x] -p tcp -s 2000:2001 -d 0.0.0.0/0 2000:2001 -j ACCEPT #Accept stream response to initial request ipchains -A input -i eth[x] -p tcp -y ! -s 0.0.0.0/0 2000:2001 -d 2000:2001 -j ACCEPT #Do not allow any random connection that was not initiated from here ipchains -A input -i eth[x] -p tcp -s 0.0.0.0/0 2000:2001 -d 2000:2001 -j DENY I forget the rules as to what order you have to accept and deny, so the deny line may be above the accept lines.

use of 'cut' to pull dynamic IPADDR from ifconfig
Hi, Progress slow but sure. Got everything running withh diald - not sure why it works but it does. There was recently a message using grep, cut and ifconfig output to pluck a dynamically assigned IP address to use in firewalls. Does someone have the message. I can get it to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Bcast but can't figure out the last cut where the delimiter is a blank.

You can safely ignore them. I just stumbled upon a similair thing yesterday. I tried to compile the mysql source coming with RedHat 6.2 - a little exploration into LAMP, I will probably switch to postgresql soon - but this failed. This surprised me, since I compiled (a more recent version of) mysql from tarball half a year ago. The compile failed after similair warnings as you see, in my case in the readline directory. Grepping the documentation coming with the source for "readline" I figured out there is an incompatibility between mit-threads and readline. ./configure --help gave me the option --without-readline, which failed at first as well, since I just deinstalled the package readline-devel. Reinstalling it and using the forementioned option solved my problem (well, I am going to use the more recent source anyway). This is not a full blown solution, but you probably want start searching the source documentation for netinet. Check possible configure options concerning netinet as well as config.h and the different Makefiles.

ok. when in doubt, read the source. just grabbed the util-linux
RPM and installed it, zipping thru fdisk.c (if you'd like to follow
along, the salient code starts at line 1388, and contains the
following excerpt:
printf(_("%*s BootStart EndBlocks Id System\n"),
w+1, _("Device"));
for (i = 0 ; i < partitions; i++) {
struct pte *pe = &ptes[i];
p = pe->part_table;
if (p->sys_ind) {
unsigned int psects = get_nr_sects(p);
unsigned int pblocks = psects;
unsigned int podd = 0;
if (sector_size < 1024) {
pblocks /= (1024 / sector_size);
podd = psects % (1024 / sector_size);
}
... some stuff deleted ...
/* odd flag on end */ (long) pblocks, podd ? '+' : ' ', <== AHA!
/* type id */ p->sys_ind,
/* type name */ (type = partition_type(p->sys_ind)) ?
type : _("Unknown"));
check_consistency(p, i);
}
}
so a '+' is printed when the partition is not an even number of
*logical* blocks.

Chances are, it came with drivers to make it work with DOS/Windows. You will probably have to use setpci to configure it for use under Linux, and then use setserial to let the serial port drivers know what I/O and irq the ports are using. Or you may be lucky and someone has already written a driver for your card.

Only 1 page prints -> smb/Win98/CANON
Hi, I have a CANON BJC-1000 connected to a Win98 machine and samba-1.9.18p10-3is running on a RH5.2 machine. The RH5.2 client is using the BJC-600 filter, and everything seems to work fine except for one little problem. It only prints the first page of any print job sent to the Win98 machine. However, all local Win98 print jobs print in their entirety. When I change the printtool option from "1 page" to something like "8 page", the first eight pages are shrunk onto the first page. The print job always disappears from the Win98's print queue right after the first page is printed. I tried printing with the 'Send EOF after print job' option both on and off. I tried altering some options in the Win98 printer properties like RAW to EMF, and etc. Has anyone encountered this problem before and what have they done to fix it?

This is a little OT, as I'm using the server on a WinNT box, but here goes... I want to run my NT box (at work) from home. I can connect just fine from another machine at work to my machine, but cannot connect from home. I suspect that the company's firewall is the culprit.

RE: Determining who ran a program and when
This won't tell you when, but who: whodunit.sh: #!/bin/sh for HOMEDIR in `ls /home`; do echo "$HOMEDIR:" grep $1 /home/$HOMEDIR/.bash_history; done Run with the offending application as a parameter: whodunit some_bad_command You might want to redirect output to a file or pipe it to more. (This is assuming your users are using bash - generally a given in Linux.) You could get an idea of when perhaps by looking at the timestamp of .bash_history, when you find the offending users, and then the relative placement of the command in .bash_history Stew Benedict At 09:29 AM 12/21/00 -0500, Charles Galpin wrote: >If you know what the program does, and it doesn't run suid, you might be >able to tell. > >For example, if the program generates temproray files with a predictable >name you might be able to see the uid and time on the files. > >hope your day goes better :) >charles > >On Thu, 21 Dec 2000, Jason Holland wrote: > >> Hmm, if you don't know the username, it would be slightly harder. first, if >> you know about what time the command was run, you can use last and also >> check /var/log/messages to see who was logged in. then, go to their home >> dir and see if they have a history file. course that depends on which shell >> they are using. >> >> Jason >> >> > >> > Hi, >> > >> > Could someone please tell me how I can determine when a programs >> > was run and >> > who ran it? >> > I hope this is possible.

Does any know if (and if so how) I can set up an html page to play a macromedia director movie in netscape on RedHat 6.2? I have the flash /shockwave plugin installed but netscape pukes on the .dcr file type. I tried to add the application:x-director mime type for .dcr files in netscape but the plugin dropdown is disabled :) This would be a big help to my company. This will not be severved but merely read from a hard drive. BTW nescape-communicator-4.75-0.6.2 rpm Any tips /docs appreciated.

I need to find out who did a major dumb dumb. There's good news, and there's bad news. The good news is that there is process accounting, along the BSD model, for Linux. The bad news is that it's not installed and enabled by default. If you hadn't already installed and enabled accounting for your system-- I would do that if it's in a multi-user environment, and you need to find out who to shoo--er, re-train if something was done--then you could only figure out what was done indirectly, e.g., syslog, side effects, etc. by timestamp, and using something like last to see who was on at that time.

If you know what the program does, and it doesn't run suid, you might be able to tell.
