You might want to check the kernel mailing list to see if the 2.5 kernels have support for SATA yet.

Crash leads to problems with USB
After a crash caused by my own putzing around with swap files, USB no longer seems to work on my system. I reinstalled the dev RPM, and seem to have the necessary modules loaded: ehci-hcd 20072 0 (unused) usb-ohci 21704 0 (unused) usbcore79040 1 [hid ehci-hcd usb-ohci] usb-storage74496 0 (unused) although after the crash I'm having to load usb-storage manually.

Note that if you use such a setup, you'll need to configure ROX's compatibility options to: 1. Overrride TWM's control of rox panels 2. Pass all backdrop clicks to TWM (or you lose TWM's menus) You can then add 'rox -b bottom-panel &' to your .Xclients-default and away you go. Note that ROX has some peculiarities. It isn't perfect. But it basically does the job that Nautilus does for GNOME, but faster. You can then setup applications in either TWM or ROX. If you're looking for something less avante-garde and easier to install and configure, I'd recommend WindowMaker instead. It's basic but functional, and has built-in support for a clip and dock.

Fetchmail will (by default) deliver to your local MTA after retrieving the

domains properly, sendmail/postfix should treat them as seperate emails

Otherwise, have fetchmail treat everything as a copy, with a default

We have noticed that the Red Hat does some weird tweaking to their kernels, and they don't really disclose what patches they've applied, so it's kind of hard to reverse-engineer the problems.

There's an RHCE Exam Cram book by Kara Pritchard. It's a little out of date in it's coverage (often the case with printed study guides), but does exactly what you want: gives you an overview of the test process, and some guidance about passing. The problem is that the Red Hat-isms change from version to version. That might not matter too much on the hands-on, depending on what the task is, but Red Hat has been known to shift packages and config files between versions, so learning *how* to problem solve is probably a better strategy than learning how to solve a particular problem. Personally, I'd recommend taking the LPI exams instead. They have a little less prominence, but they don't expire the way the RHCE does, they cost less, and they're vendor-neutral. You can pass LPI by being familiar with Linux in general, and not have to learn all the -isms for a given distro (other than RPM and APT package management). Personally, I refuse to pay almost $800 as a single pass/fail unit. If your employer is paying, then give it a whirl; if you fail, you'll know what you need to study for the next time. But if you're paying out of your own pocket, I'd steer clear of RHCE and go for an LPIC instead. -- Guvf gntyvar jnf rapbqrq jvgu gur ebg13.fu fpevcg, ninvynoyr ng uggc://jjj.pbqrtabzr.bet/fpevcgvat/fubjfpevcg.cuc?fpevcg=ebg13.fu be sebz n furyy-fpevcgvat nepuvir arne lbh! - ROT-13 Encoded Message -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

I'm almost afraid to ask why you're developing a kernel driver when you don't know enough about the kernel to answer this question yourself. That said, probably yes if it's a module. The kernel needs stub code for almost every loadable module; otherwise, it wouldn't know how to call it. I don't know of any exceptions, but I think I remember someone telling me there were a few. If it's a userland driver, then probably no as long as it uses standard APIs to communicate with the kernel.

I have thought about You might be able to mount /usr over samba or NFS if you don't plan to ever use the laptop outside of your local area network. This isn't very practical for portability, but it will cut your disk usage considerably (under 800MB--most of that in /var). On the other hand, if you want a portable solution, why not strip down your Linux installation to the bare minimum needed to run X, VNC, and SSH, and then connect to a more full-featured machine elsewhere? You can do a basic install in less than 1GB of space. You could probably even squeeze that down to around 600MB, even with all the cruft that Red Hat tosses in by default. You might also consider a different distro like ZipSlack (100MB) or the Slackware Live Filesystem CD (zero disk space usage) and just use your local hard drive for file storage. -- "Of course I'm in shape!

I'm at You can't do it on a single logical segment without assigning IPs by MAC address, but you can on a single physical segment if you use distinct network addresses on the wire. You'll want to set up a virtual interface on your Linux box for the second logical segment, and then create two seperate address pools, one for each distinct network address. I don't know of any how-to that addresses the issue directly, but you may want to look at tldp.org to see what's available. -- "Of course I'm in shape!

Why don't you ask on a kernel-related list, rather than assuming that people on a volunteer distribution-support list have an obligation to do research for you? Also, I'm sure that if you have a paid contract with Red Hat, they'd be glad to research it for you if they don't know the answer off-hand. If nobody knows the answer, it's because it has zero impact on the majority of people. So again, rather than expecting people to be responsive about something that has no relevence to them, be proactive and scratch your own itch: contact kernel developers, search the source for references to modules-info, or experiment by moving the file and see what happens.

Very true. In fact, for something to be repudiated, all you need to do is: 1. Break the chain of custody. 2. Call into question the accuracy of the time-stamping. 3. Show possible gaps in access/authentication controls. 4. Show that logs/files are kept on mutable media after the alleged electronic event. I haven't really been following the whole thread, but it seems like the question is "how do you prove a file hasn't been modified?" A computer forensics person would need to show that the system was keeping accurate time all along, and that the file shown is the original file with a chain of custody going back to the original event, with adequate controls in place to prevent unauthorized and unauthenticated transactions. This is why computer records are usually not considered "proof," but merely corroborating evidence to back up expert opinion.

I received a similar one. Due to the forged headers, I reported it as spam to attbi.com, although I'm not sure what the purpose of the spam could have been unless the DNS or web site for Red Hat has been hijacked. Basically, the forged email seemed to contain pointers to the real Red Hat list management pages, so unless someone has reason to believe that Red Hat's web server has been compromised or their DNS has been poisoned, I'm at a loss to determine the point of the exercise.

The Linux default requires the user to explicitly share > every file he creates, since every new user has a unique GID. First of all, most *nix distros create all users with the same GID, e.g. "users." Lots of distros also have the unfortunate tendency to create home directories group-writable, so users essentially have zero privacy out of the box. The "user private groups" idea is primarily a Red Hat-ism. I don't know any other distro that does this, but it's a well-known security truism that things should "fail closed." In other words, if you want to share stuff, you should have to make a conscious effort to do so. It's actually quite easy to share group info on Red Hat. If you want to create a group-shared folder, just set the directory SGID. Any files or folders created in it will then have the group ID set to that of the SGID directory, so all the members can share it without having to dink around with permissions on their home directories to keep other group members out. Can you do similar things without user private groups? Sure. Does it take more planning, auditing, and LARTs? Absolutely. As always, your mileage may vary, and shares may be worth more or less at time of redemption. :) -- "Of course I'm in shape!

First of all, this is NOT a programming list. You're asking questions
in the wrong place.
You also don't say what language you're using. I suppose it doesn't
really matter, though, since you still have:
1. Fork overhead that you should design around
2. The Linux scheduler to deal with
3. Provided no metrics on system load
4. Provided no profiling of your application
5. Not explained why your process needs to fork faster
Usually, this is simply bad programming design or a failure to adequately
analyze your goals. If you need hard real-time response, you need to code
your application for a real-time OS, and probably optimize in assembler
while you're at it.
Otherwise, address items #3-5, and ask the question again on a list
related to the language you're using for the task. Good luck.
