I am writing a client-server for my school and the server keeps get a
segv signal. I know you are all thinking 'This guy doesn't know how to
use his pointers' but the wierd thing is the server crashes every night
at 11:00. The server runs as a normal process and I usually run it in
the background with the '&' so it doesn't natuaraly daemonize. I am
sending the source code with this missive so if you have anytime at all,
please check it out.

No. That syntax is a hybrid of the way you'd mount an NFS volume and
the way you'd mount an NTFS partition on your local hard drive. If the
NT machine is exporting directories with SMB, then you'd do this:
mount -t smbfs -o username=blah //192.168.1.1/sharename /mountpoint
Naturally, you have to have SMB filesystem support either compiled as a
module or compiled directly into the kernel. Most distro kernels have
that set up for you already.

Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 09:49:09 -0500
What I was looking for is the daemon rpc.pcnfsd. It is usually part of the
PC-NFS installation on Solaris, that is why I used the subject PC-NFS. I
apoligize, I should have used the subject of pcnfsd instead. I need this
daemon to to provide user authentication to WebNFS, otherwise WebNFS will
use the user/group of nobody, which is not disireable. I need the ability
to "login" to WebNFS, SAMBA does NOT have this capability. I have installed
and run SAMBA on many machines. I do know what SAMBA can and can not do and
if it would work for me, I would use it, I do like SAMBA.
As an update on my quest, I have located the source code for the daemon and
compiled it. I ran into the next problem... the source code was written
pre-PAM authentication. So, I need to get the code re-written to support
PAM. After this is done I think I will have conquered this beast. I'll
keep my fingers crossed. :)

I am looking for a way to to do remote logging on my network. I want a

Subject: linux & windows can use same swap file?
Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2000 11:37:57 +0800
I had this brilliant idea that Linux and windows could use the same swap
area on disk thus saving the user from e.g., redundantly having two 128K
areas on disk when only one operating system could be running [but what
about emulations?] anyway. Naturally I'm just throwing this out for you
pros to debate. [Nothing simpleminded me is planning on doing myself
etc., so no need to e-mail me the details, I wouldn't understand it
anyway.] It seems however that the savings is so small that one
shouldn't bother anyway. Hmmm, I read
> Linux reserves the type code 0x82 for swap partitions
therefore one would have to add a level of indirection to have it find a
different OS's swap area...
which would probably have problems getting lost on the next upgrade etc.
making the whole exercise useless... ok never mind.

Subject: IE's Temporary Internet Files: rescue or converting to Linux?
Date: Wed, 23 Aug 2000 21:26:17 +0800
My system was:
Hard Disk 1: C:, E: (i.e., two partitions)
Hard Disk 2: D:
I removed Hard Disk 2, so my system automatically became:
Hard Disk 1: C:, D:
However, Internet Explorer's Temporary Internet Files I had living on E:
Now it doesn't know that any more, and if I tell IE to make its Temporary
Internet Files on the old spot it threatens to first wipe it clean before
moving in... and when I try to stuff the contents of the old TIF into its
new spot, it's not allowed, etc. This represents many months of offline
web page reading precious modem $ time... How can I get IE 5.5 to accept
a new source for its TIF without it destroying everything? [My Favorites
stuff but mostly the History per day/week indexed stuff.]
Along the way I noticed that the various MS tools can only see various
parts of the files in TIF, also noticed and deleted the thousands of Ca*
files due to latest bug, also noticed the unfortunate MS naming scheme
where removing an unrelated drive screws things up... geez.
OK, better yet, how can I process all that stuff in my old TIF into a tool
that I can use to browse it under Linux? Indeed, I removed the disk to
do Linux on it, and indeed, the TIF is where I have lots of Linux
documentation that I must see in order to finish Linux adjustment...
I suppose next time, I should have made a phony [nominal, tiny] extra
partition on my now Linux native Hard Drive 2 for windows to call D: thus
not disturbing E: but it's too late now.

I am trying to configure plugger to show tiff files. No matter what I do,
netscape does not properly show tiff files that arrive as attachments. I
can save the attachment as a x.tif, then use netscape to open the file and
it will properly open the file in viewfax.
here's the pertinent section of pluggerrc:
image/tiff: tiff,tif: TIFF image
: viewfax $file
I also trid
image/tiff: tiff,tif: TIFF image
: echo $file > /tmp/plugger
and the file /etc/plugger is empty. This seems to indicate that plugger
is not correctly passing the file name.
Does anyone have this working? What am I doing wrong?

'.' is also discouraged on the Mac as the first character of filenames,
primarily (from what I understand) for historic reasons. There may or
may not still be reasons for this, but it's something to consider.

Oh I see, you want to use them both simultaniously in the same machine,
right?
Should be OK, I have a few linux boxes where with two identical
rtl8139's installed. One is doing similar to what you describe. It has
one interface for serving DHCP on my internal MASQed LAN, and the other
forwards requests out over the real IP connection for internet stuff.
You shouldn't need to have two copies of the module, it will load the
same module for each interace.
You'd probably want ipchains for setting up the firewall, the how-to is
pretty good on this subject.

You can also use "convert" from the ImageMagick suite of tools. This is
standard on Red Hat but I don't know about Mandrake. Assuming your
static images are named file1.jpg, file2.jpg, etc:
convert file*.jpg movie.gif
What could be simpler?

It's actually a 31-character limit, except on HFS+ volumes under Mac OS
9 and later, where you get a 255-character limit if you use new APIs to
write those files. Java automatically supports those APIs for you if
you're using MRJ 2.2 or later.

Yes, I think, too, that it is a one time thing,
but you said, on your system you could hit CAD
several times without problems. So I thought it was my system
not working correctly.
I think I can live with inut -u, so every time CAD is hit
I'll let run a script displaying a message and do init -u.
Thanks for your help,

You can use ipchains (ipfwadm in 2.0 kernels, again renamed in kernels later
as 2.2) to build a basic firewall, altough you need some knowledge about
networking. Read the ipchains howto for more information at
www.linuxdoc.org.
