Somehow, when I installed RedHat 7.2, my TimeZone was set to GMT,
instead of EST (or America/NewYork in /etc/sysconfig/clock). I have
since corrected the file, but even upon reboot, `date` still reports it
as GMT-5, and ntp resets my time accordingly.

Try me. There are gcc-3.1 from Redhat, just not released in a distro.

Actually, the assignment order is determined by the kernel itself. I

them back.
The best sure fire way to bind them would be:

According to the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit file, nfs mount devices are
bypassed upon boot, to avoid any networking hangs. If you type mount
/unix-src at the command prompt, linux should still read the fstab file

Okay Newbie,
What printer config program are you running?
/dev/lp0 (in Windows Terms) is equivalent to LPT1
/dev/lp1 == LPT2
Is your printer connected to your computer (lpt1), or through the

mkbootdisk might be checking out the /etc/fstab & detecting the vfat

Comment them out, and run mkbootdisk again. It should not give you

Why pay for something like that? Try VNC. It's made by AT&T Research

You configure the VNC server on the Linux box, and run the vnc client on
the NT machine.
It's exactly what you're looking for, and easy to configure.

I got it to work as a Slave server & as a client. I also got the master

Here's a tip, instead of setting ypdomainname, set
NISDOMAIN=whatever
in /etc/sysconfig/network.
Then the init.d scripts will correct read your domainname for NIS.
