Thanks Riku. I will download them today and try them out. Also,
as soon as I get a chance I will closely examine your patch. I have
to go through an annoying surgery tommorow, so I won't be able to
look at it for a few weeks, but again I very glad you saw fit to
do this. I was considering doing it myself after talking with you,
but you acted much quicker than. KUDOs!
RPM will add /etc/man.config.d (relative to your man config
ofcourse) directory were the another package can add easily
it's own foo.conf and declare required MANPATH there.
Check http://people.jyu.fi/~mesrik/tmp/man the 'release' 8 has
it built in and diffs follows, if you prefer those.
I was first thinking making these better configurable options,
but the package does not use recent autoconfigure, so I simply
made patches active by default. NOCONFIGD and NOGLOB can
consequtively disable the features if not desired.
I would think that that is something that the gnu man mainteners could
get perfect if they want. Also, if I understand you right NOCONFIGD and
NOGLOB are config file directives, so that is easy enough for someone to
turn off. Also, its the kind of feature that unless you use it intentionally
it won't be activated (i.e. no globbing will occur until a path contains
a glob char).

I would appreciate if Bero and Aeb give glimpse to these
patches, please. They sure are worth that :)

ps. anybody knows why this man package still uses internal
glob package that RMS wrote ages ago? It shouldn't be

And that is great for any company because when Large company x is shopping around for server software they are going to think M$, Novell, RedHat Linux, UNIX.

I really would like to enjoy and to see Redhat 8.x etc... As I read RedHat's business plan/strategy is not to sell ISO's, but services and support. Why do you think they protect their trademark's and name so strongly? There are probably other reasons, but I believe it is because they know that that strong trademark and name is associated with a company that can show you how to deploy linux successfully in your organization and once it is deployed to answer the the tough questions when your staff has come to there wits end. This expertease and commitement to excelence is highly valued in businesses and organizations. Whether is substance behind the trademark is only to be seen when their services are purchased, and it is the substance not the trademark that will make them a great company (or if the substance lacks, will be their undoing). Anyway, since their business plan is based on services centered around linux, it makes _MUCH SENSE_ to deploy linux on as many systems as possible, and their doing this for free is an investement with the goal of building the biggest market possible for these linux services. There is more to it, I am sure, but this is enough to understand why holding back the ISO's and trying to really make their profits from media sells is a bad idea at best. This is all of course only my opinion based my observations of watching RedHat from the outside (and also completely off topic of this list (-;).

Upon release - do not release free ISO's - only sell boxes. HBH 2. 30-45 days after the initial release - free ISO's will be offered. First HBH for up2date customers and then to the public... HBH HBH After all, making a new version of Red Hat does cost money, and a lot of it. HBH Support contracts are not that profitable (I know, I was in the business).. 1. They will definitely have GPL-related issues in this case. 2. As far as I know, RedHat uses the community as the main development force. -- Best regards, Leonid Mamtchenkov, RHCE System Administrator Francoudi Stephanou Ltd. ___ Redhat-devel-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-devel-list
Re: pthread_mutexattr_setpshared? Alternatives?

Mount ext partition into user dir with user permissions
Tried to do something which I thought would be really simple, mount a partition into a user's dir to be owned by that user. e.g. mount /dev/hdb1 /home/user/data where /home/user/data is an empty directory owned by user.user No matter what I do when the partition is mounted it is always owned as root.root and user doesn't have any permissions to it. I've tried combinations of parameters in fstab like owner and user but nothing seems to work.

But once all of the dubs are made, and a copy or two has been made for master storage, it needs to be removed from the disc so that the next project can be worked on. Right. If you do this professionally, you've no doubt seen Avid drive shuttles (the contents of which are usually dumped back to tape and reused after a project anyway).

I agree with Vidiot on this one: the drive space is going to cramp you at some point.

Tony - Thanks for the tip. I also received (on another list, courtesy of Thomas Chung) a script that has the advantage of creating the users' home directories without specifying them in the new user file. For a file of new users called students, with usernames in the first column and passwords in the second column:
#!/bin/sh
for i in $(awk '{print $1}' students)
do
useradd $i
grep $i students |awk'{print $2}'| passwd --stdin $i

Not just a possibility, but with a hub it's for certain. Any packets coming from one of his machines will be repeated to every port in the hub, including the cable modem, which acts as a bridge, therefore copying every packet to the RFC segment. Luckily, only the upstream channel will be affected by this, and only broadcast traffic would make it back to the downstream channel. Finnaly, a correctly configured cable ISP should have the cable modems get a config that blocks broadcasts packets and this problem would not be an issue.

At the end of the day, after editing the movies, I would like to store the movies in CDR (mpeg format). Thanks for the help. -=Hanny It would have been nice if you would have said this in the first place. While video editing under Linux is getting there, it isn't fully there yet. As first mentioned, join the Video4Linux mail list and join that discussion. You will need another hard drive added to the system. At least a 100GB for holding all the video segments for doing your editing. I certainly hope that you do not plan on destroying the original DV recordings and only keeping the VideoCD versions. That would be a sin, since the VideoCD versions are vastly inferior to the DV you just shot. CD-R does not equal VCD. He mentioned MPEG on CD-R, which, depending on the version of MPEG, bitrate, etc., could be better (or worse) than VCD. On average, you can comfortably fit 10-15 minutes of DVD quality (yes, an abused term) video on a standard CD-R. Depending on your bitrate, you could fit more. And, yes, with DVD-R becoming more affordable, it is a viable option for removable, high-quality video storage. -- Ed Marczak [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

RE: IPchains logging?
Not sure if this has been answered yet. To log in real time what is going on with ipchains simply add a --log to each and every rule you want logged. Make sure to restart ipchains after making the change to your rules. Then do a tail -f /var/log/messages. Tail will actively show what is going on at the bottom of this log file. Any packets rejected by your ipchains rules will pop up in the log file. Works Great! --- Make sure that in your syslog.conf file that your ipchains is logging to /var/log/messages. I'm not to familiar with ipchains but most applications have configuration files in which one can change the logging of the application. If you find that ipchains is logging to local7 per say make sure your syslog is setup to accept this logging. Once you know what file ipchains logs I would write a little startup script that does the following: Tail -f /var/messages | mail -s subject you@youremailaddress This will mail some address with everything coming across you firewall. -Chris -Original Message- From: BG [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 23, 2002 12:40 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: IPchains logging?

Help! Ghost images bomb out...
Hi, I am using Norton Ghost 2002 to create partition images of my dual boot W2k and RH 7.2 installation on an Intel 686 machine with 2 SCSI HDDs. The Linux partition images seem to be reliable only some of the time, while the Windblows images (both NTFS and FAT32) are 100% reliable. When they fail I get an error: Unexpected packet type: found 3, expecting file data, and Ghost pukes. I have asked for support from Symantec and they have replied with: Symantec is aware of the problem and is investigating its cause. We do not have information at this time about whether or when a fix may become available.One of the following might fix the problem: ...yadah, yadah, yadah... This problem is seen most often when creating an image file locally on a dual-boot computer having Linux and Windows XP. Forcing Linux to check the file systems before creating the image file may resolve the problem. Type the following at a Linux command line:shutdown -F -r now The -F must be in uppercase. It forces Linux to run FSCK on all file systems on startup. The -R restarts the computer. After FSCK repairs any errors, run Ghost to create the image. I realize this is most likely a Symantec software problem, but I can not afford to wait for them to fix it. Is there a chance anyone on the list has another suggestion? I'll try anything. I am desperate for a simple, but reliable, Linux backup resource. Many TIA, Bill

Loooooong pause while initializing eht1
Hi, I have two nics in my RH 7.2 system. Eth0 goes out to the internet through my cable modem and eth1 is connected to my internal network. Both are using DHCP. Eth0 initializes very quickly, but eth1 has a long pause before it is successfully initialized. My DHCP server is a W2k machine. I know we probably suspect the W2k machine as the cause off the bat, but the long pause only recently started. Before now it was very fast. I looked in /var/log/messages and a message is being returned after initialization that says: Netmask: Unknown host. Any idea what could be thecause of this message? TIA, Bill
Digital cameras with RedHat?
I want to buy a digital camera for personal use (to take holiday and other odd pictures now and then), but I have no idea which one to buy. I've looked around at a few, and most seem to have similar features (Sony, Olympus, Epson). So my main concern really is that what models are known to work well with RedHat linux, and what, if any, add-on software do I need? Does anyone have any experience using their cameras with RedHat, and if so, what's their experience been like?

But you also have the 0.67-10 devel rpm and that needs the 0.67-10 rpm. In other words, you have: gnumeric-0.67-10 gnumeric-devel-0.67-10 You want to upgrade with: gnumeric-1.0.5 It won't let you because the devel version needs the same version. Since you aren't uninstalling it, it would be left behind. It isn't consistent with the new rpm for gnumeric and generates an error saying so. You have two options. you can either try to find gnumeric-devel-1.0.5 and upgrade that at the same time, or you can uninstall gnumeric-devel and then upgrade gnumeric. -- Linux: Because life is too short to spend it rebooting. ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
