It sure should work from any filename, I suspect you are a trying to
run the file test from a bash shell where test is shell builtin and
shouldn't be used as a filename.
Try putting it into a different named file, such as "testme" .

Where have all the colors gone? WAS:cd in a Shell Script
Thanks a lot, your tip works, but now I have a new problem: the colors
are gone when I run the command. For example, when you run 'ls', there
are different colors to distinguish the folders, text files,
executables, etc, but it's all only one color now (in my case green
because my setup is green on black). How can I make the different colors
appear?

Sorry, the last part there is incorrect. It doesn't work if you put
it in just any file.
It has to be a dot file. A file who's name begins with `.'
Try .test.
Maybe someone here can explain why it doesn't work in a file named
`test' but does in .test?

The shell invoked by the script is the one doing the cd'ing. Not your
shell.
A better faster and generally cool way to do this sort of thing is
with functions in your .bashrc (or other login init files)
For the the functionality you wanted above it would look like this:
cdl () { cd $1;ls -lh|more; }
NOTE: The spaces after/before {} are important.
The `;' after `more' is vital too.
NOTE: `cdl' is just an arbitrary name. It could be anything.
With that in .bashrc you would have a new command at the prompt.
Type: `cdl dir'
And presto: moved and listed.
In order to get it into your environment as you write it, you will
need to source .bashrc after inserting the line like:
source ~/.bashrc
You should be able to cut and paste the line above to get the idea of
what it will do.
Just put it in a file named test for now, to see what it does.

The problem is that your script is changing the current directory of the subshell it's running in, not your shell. There are two solutions: One is to source the script instead of running it. Type . myscript.sh The period works like an #include directive; it reads the script and processes it in the current shell. The second way is to not use a script at all, but a shell function. man bash for more information about them.

Hello. How can I configure my Skipjack system so that I cancel the minmum 6 characters password length for login?

Why ftp timeout??
I am using PSTL for net connection. And using ftp command to download files. Sometime the following 2 things happen while downloading big files: 1. It give Connection time out. The file was partialy downloaded. 2. If net connect is break while downloading, the process is hang for ever. It does not come out or it does not detect the net connection break. Q1. Why is connection timeout is through out while downloading ?? Q2. What is exact technical reason for time out?? Q3. Why it does not come out after net connection break ??

Not only does it get rid of the cleartext problem, but it's overall just easier to use. If ssh is set up to forward X and your remote system has an X Server, start the X Server on the "client" machine, log into the server with ssh (which will normally give you a terminal window) and any X program you run from the terminal window will be displayed on the "client" machine. I know, that sounds confusing so for example, at work I have a Windows box with Exceed X Server. At home I have a RH6 system without X running. I connect to the home machine from work using the MindTerm (java) ssh client. (I have to go through a http only proxy--Mindterm can make ssh connections through an http proxy or firewall.) After I log in I have a normal vt100 terminal session. If I type netscape & at the prompt, netscape will be started on my server at home, but displayed on my MS Windows machine at work. (I used Netscape as an example--you probably would not be very happy with the performance of Netscape this way--but it impresses the hell out of Windows users.) I haven't played much with the VNC server on Linux, but I don't believe you have to have gdm or xdm running. What little I played with it I had an X session (started locally on the server with startx) already running on the server--Monday I'll kill the X session and see if the VNC server still accepts connections) -ray ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I created my own init script for gdm in /etc/rc.d/init.d, and if it is
set up properly, you can use chkconfig --add to create the rc.[0123456]
links. I also edited inittab and commented out where it starts it up in
runlevel 5. Then you may have to edit /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf to disable
starting a server when you enter runlevel 3, 4 or 5. Make sure under the
[servers] section there is not something like 0=/usr/bin/X11/X or else
comment it out.
Here's the gdm init script I use:

Which version of sendmail? Can you telnet from the Mac to LINUX_HOST? (telnet linux.host 25) And see a greeting from sendmail? Does your version of *.mc have something like this in it: DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA') If so, that tells sendmail only to listen on 127.0.0.1, which will bar any relaying even from local net machines ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

sendmail and mail relaying question
Our company has a single linux server (running seawolf) along with a bunch of Macs (one running OS X, most running OS 9 eventually becoming OS X). We have our mail "home" and website at a $10/mo. web hosting place. That is where we currently have our mail apps in MacOS pointed for sending out their mail. However, we had our segment of the site go down for a few days. Not only can we not retrieve our mail, but we are unable to send mail out. With our cable-modem connection to the net, though, our Linux server can mail just fine from the sendmail running on it because it will directly connect to the receiving host as "normal" sendmail does. What we'd like to do is to have the Macs point their mail apps to the Linux server so that that server can send the mail out directly. Right now, though, that doesn't work. The Linux server sits behind a firewall which does not allow access to an SMTP port, so it should be pretty secure to just let the sendmail on that system relay mail from any system on the internal network to any system on the outside. >From reading /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README, it seems that the feature "promiscuous_relay" would do what we want. So, I added: FEATURE(`promiscuous_relay') to the redhat.mc file in /usr/share/sendmail-cf/cf and ran m4 on it. I put the resulting file in as my /etc/sendmail.cf file and restarted sendmail. However, when we tried to have one of the Macs use our server as the SMTP host for outgoing mail, it timed out and failed. Is there something I missed? I've never used qmail (I've gotten used to using the files in /usr/share/sendmail-cf so I've stuck with it), but would that be an easier way to do this?

Hi Bret,
Get and install the source rpm. cd {/path/to/rpm/SOURCE/directory}
edit openssh.spec

I am assuming that the problem lies with the fact that I don't have much in the way of X installed on these boxes and that the rpm is going to try to build gnome-askpass or whatever the *(&@ it is called. Is there a way to tell rpm that I don't want it to build that package and don't need all that crap? If indeed that is the problem. Do I need to install the src.rpm and tweek the spec file? What should I change? I really don't do a lot of compiling and this kind of stuff is why I guess.

In that sense, there is little you can do about it. I believe 'ncftp' allows you to resume FTP downloads where you left them, but you should verify this point by reading the man page for the application.

Are you sure you are using the commands correctly? What are those "other useful utils"? You can only use finger to obtain information about a user on a given UNIX or Linux system. Are you using it on your own system? Keep in mind that you can use it then even if you are not connected to the Net via PPP. No matter what though you should make sure it is correctly configured via xinetd to allow socket connections. However, 'finger' is not secure so you are better off by closing that port. As for the 'whois' command, make sure you use it as in 'whois yahoo.com' and it should return you information about that domain. Of course, you need to be connected to the Internet at that time.

Hi Ben, >top and ps will both do what you are looking for. There's also gtop >(GUI Gnome version of top) and gitps (text-based GUI version of ps), >and a whole slew of others I'm sure. top is my favorite, though. I once heard somewhere that top does not show an accurate memory usage. How true is that? Besides, where can I find an explanation of those columns in top? I don't remember seeing them in the manpage. And would you be kind enough to point out which columns in top & ps will be of my interest?

I would not blank it out. Generally, it is a good thing to skip updating your kernel by default. This is especially true when you get to the stage where you compile and install a custom kernel.
