Hi,
I've installed iODBC (but I can install unixODBC, or a nother product if
necessary), and reading docs I've discovered (at least it is my
understanding) that if I want to connect to MS-Access via ODBC, I need an
Access driver... (What a wonderful norm of interconnectivity :-((( )

Maybe you can do the program by yourself :
If do type 'last' on a shell line, you'll get the connections of everyuser,
but also the reboot/restart dates.
If last tells you nothing, then maybe you've got to touch some files, so
that it can record data.
Do a 'man last' for more information.
I don't know about your rmmod problem, but I can explain you the disk
activity.
I suppose you've installed the package anacron, that is like cron, except
that it executes commands the better way it can. I mean, if your machine was
powered off at the time you said you wanted to synchronize your
to change the irq to another unused interrupt and
then set it
back to 3 which is standard issue for ttyS1 or 4 for ttyS0

As far as I know, Mandrake is only for **Ultra**Sparcs, not for Sparcs.
I have not tested it.
But I've tested RedHat 6.2 prerelease ("piglet") on a SparcStation 5 (for
the MHz, Linux doesn't inform about it, but it's 109.77 BogoMips) and it's

Since Kernel 2.X.Y, ncpfs is included in the kernel, so that you don't have
to get it separately and compile it.
You just have to check 'Yes' for ncpfs support when you recompile your
kernel.
Regarding precisely "nw-auth", I don't know at all.
For me, it has worked correctly! ;-)

Caldera has been created by the former Novell CEO, if I am right...
That's why they have developped a Novell support for Linux (yes : Linux
itself, and not Slackware or RedHat or SuSE or Mandrake or...).
That's a great idea, and they have given the rights to use it freely, and it
works well.

I'm going to set up a linux file server for 30

How about making a link from /home/user/.www to APACHE-WEB-DIR/user?

Another solution is to look for ttysnoop and usersurvey on freshmeat.
You'll have to make your user log through this program and you'll get full
view of what he'll be doing in a (x)term and you'll even be able to type and
correct whatever he does, exactly as if you had access to his keyboard.
You can hack your kernel (the ethernet module) to do that, I imagine.
But I wonder if it wouldn't be possible to do it straightly in the card,
because I've been told that the MAC address was copied from ROM to RAM when
the network card is powered on, but I've no proof about that and I've never
mmv is 'multiple move'
It's like mv, but with more usefull features.
I have never used it (I rather do scripts) but I think it can do things like

(maybe the syntax is not correct)
This will rename filename01.png into otherfilename01.png, filename02.png
I didn't know about IDE ZIP.
But with parallel port ZIP (ie a kind of SCSI zip), a new zip disk has to be
mounted from /dev/sdx4 too!
I don't know why either.

Maybe without this option or with another option port 25 is closed.
