charmap info from locale?
Can anyone tell me how a program can determine what character encoding (charmap) it should expect in a user's environment? I want to use UTF-8 internally, but I need to know what to ask iconv() to convert from. I can't find anything in the default environment and the locale command doesn't seem to provide charmap data.

Shutting down a Windows 2000 server from Linux or vice-versa (slightly off-topic)

there is an add-on card you can add to these UPSes usually to be able to plug 2 or more computers to it, therefore, to send shutdown signals to both of them...

There is header information in the PS file. I would guess that ps2pdf
needs that data to do the conversion. But since it only exists in the

You have observed that the default configuration works properly. Logical conclusion: Don't change the default configuration ;) I also do not get any messages if I run slapd -f slapd.conf from the command line. In that case, you're running it as root. Any have any ideas why this occurs? I thought init scripts were always run as root. The init scripts are, but they have the capability of running the daemon as another user. That is the case with slapd. It runs as a non-root user, because it doesn't need root access to anything. Also I have my rootpw in slapd.conf encrypted. Would this be acceptable if my permissions were 740? Yes, it is. Changing permissions to 0740 only grants read access to the ldap group.

Yes and no. Linux is more in the news and popular these days, so you might find user apps coming out for linux before BSD (of course the linux apps will still run on BSD), but some companies will release drivers for BSD before linux so they don't have to give away the source code.

1. What's an easy way to find what RH rpm (preferably located on the

searched Red Hat's site.
Install the rpmdb-redhat package, which allows you to querry packages
which aren't installed.
This will allow you to do:
$ rpm -q --redhatprovides libz.so.1
zlib-1.1.3-25.7
2. I already know that I can force rpm to install python, even with
that error. But can I, in some way manually update the RPM database?
Yes, you can manually update the database, but you probably don't want to
do that. If you want to tell rpm a package is installed, (did I mention
you don't want to do this?) You can run:
rpm -ivh --justdb (perhaps --nodeps --force) /path/to/package.rpm

xscreensaver fading: not with KDE?
Hi I noticed that the fading option for xscreensaver when using KDE does not work. Indeed I can only access this option with xscreensaver-demo, not with the preferences accessible with the KDE lock button. Is this a feature, or a bug?

Question on menu items
I've been playing w/ Debian 3.0 lately for some low end machines I have. One thing that I noticed (again) that is really nice about the way Debian does things is the menu system. For those not familiar w/ Debian, it maintains a consistent menu 'hierarchy', for lack of a better term, so that the menus will be pretty much the same in every windowmanager on the machine. It also automatically updates the menu entries when new software is added. As an example, I had a bare-bones X-Windows system installed, did an apt-get install of WindowMaker, then once I was in WindowMaker, I realized that I only had xterm. Just for personal taste, I prefer rxvt, given the choice. So I opened an xterm, su'd to root, did an apt-get install of rxvt, and a few minutes later (remember, slow system here), the menu hierarchy looked like this: (from a right click in WindowMaker) Apps Games Help Screen Windowmanagers Workspace XShells -- Rxvt Xterm Xterm (Unicode) With rxvt being automagically added. To test that it would actually be added to all windowmanagers, I exited from X, edited my .xinitrc to start XFCE instead, did a startx, and now from a right-click in XFCE, New Window User Menu ---User Menu Run Program Edit Menu Arrange Icons Debian ---Apps Iconify All GNOME Games Refresh KDE Screen Shuffle Up Windowmanagers Shuffle DownWorkspace SettingsXShells ---Rxvt Quit Xterm Xterm (Unicode) Right now I'm starting to look around and see if there is some port of this available. If anyone knows of one, please let me know. I for one would like to see something like this for at least the applications on the RedHat install CDs, if not more. Just figure it'd be easier (for RedHat) to make this work consistently w/ at least the 'factory' packages. The menu system from what I gather, is somewhat configurable, so you can make the different menu titles what you want, and so you can control how many entries in a sub-menu, so that if you have something like 20 different editors installed, they wouldn't all have to be lumped under 'Apps -- Editors'. Instead you could have a 'Apps -- Editors -- Novice' or 'Apps -- Editors -- Advanced'. Obviously, there has to be away to turn it off, so that if an administrator installs a test version of a program, it doesn't show up on everybody's desktop menu, especially if it doesn't work ;) So, what do y'all think?

RE: [REDHAT] Re: BSD vs Linux ?
This is my $0.02 cents on the subject: FreeBSD appears to handle better and is more business-centric whereas Red Hat, if used properly, can be the same. However, FreeBSD acts a little better and is more secure on a default system install, whereas Red Hat doesn't get such high marks, as a poster on another thread stated not too long ago (either yesterday or today). If you are in a mission critical environment, I would say FreeBSD would be a better bet than Red Hat (unless you absolutely know what your doing) for the newer people starting out in the Linux world. As a friend of mine on IRC (Internet Relay Chat) said: Black Hat == cracker; White Hat == hacker; Grey Hat == guru; Red Hat == victim. However, I am not saying that everyone on this list should migrate to FreeBSD, not at all. All I'm saying is that if you want to use it in a mission-critical production environment, it's best to have a good grasp on Linux and the basics of Red Hat, especially in the security arena. Well, that's my $0.02 cents worth. -- Jonathan Jonathan Slivko [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freelance IT Consultant/Systems Admin. http://home.acedsl.com/~jslivko/ p: 212.663.1109 f: 212.663.1109 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of David Kramer Sent: Saturday, August 17, 2002 10:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [REDHAT] Re: BSD vs Linux ?

For instance I have a bunch of RPM files with the same RPM name but with
different version numbers.
Doing a numeric comparison doesn't work in all cases since some versions
contain letters like x, p, etc. And doing a string comparison doesn't
work either when you have numbers like 9 and 13 which would result in
9 being greater.
Is there a simple method to find out which RPM version is newer?
I compare buildtimes in the script I wrote to remove duplicate rpms from
my local updates dir.
rpm -qp --queryformat '%{BUILDTIME}'
