If i were you i'd do it in perl. Much easier for us mere mortals.
Something like
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $i;
my @list;
open IN, "< /etc/group" or die "Can't open /etc/group\n";
while () {
chomp;
@list = split /[:,]/;
$i = 3;
if ( defined $list[$i] )
vmware sucks. Your forced to pay to upgrade all the time if you run up to
date kernels. It's also way to expensive at $600 a pop. The've got you in a
much bigger vice than even ms does
Whats the story with win4lin?

I wish i remember the name, but i'm sure someone else on the list could point
you in the right direction, What about the linux project where you don't use
bios and flash the linux kernel directly into the flash instead.

In my experience it will work surprisingly well. I tried it on some real old
sun hardware before and was pleasently surprised as long as you use a
lightweight window manager. You could watch elightenment redraw the screen.
KDE was ok but i think it was version 1. From memory i think i installed
Thanks! Excellent! :)
Doing it by hand with vi, as i ended up having to do, went against all good
principles! :)

Does anyone know how to type ^M so it appears as the actual control
character? I was stuck trying to convert some scripts from dos to unix format
on a very small root filesystem. It did have sed but how the hell do you type
in the character to match it and eliminate it?

Well i have more than one machine. The only one directly connected is a
firewall. One machine retrieves email to get the commands. The emails are
encrypted and have to come from the right source. Probably not perfect but
not to bad. Also I'm only turning on/off a few lights to start with so

Does anyone know where you can buy this stuff in sydney?
It would be so cool to be able to control the house from a linux
box. Especially when the optus cable modem gets connected next week and i
have a perminent connection.

rsync is really nice for copying this stuff. Handles device files
soft/hard links no problem and will work between hosts. Best thing since
sliced bread! :)))

There is a 3.3.6 driver for it. You can download it from intel. It's rpm
format which alien will turn into a deb for you. You also need the agpgart
kernel module and maybe something else(don't remember to long ago) but
there website has all you need to know to get it working.

Sorry I am showing my ignorance. Yes it's definatly not the digital
camera. Just one of those ones you plug into a usb/serial/parallel port.
If thats a webcam. That's what i'm after. Thanks Alister! :)))
I just want to take some pic's of my fish tanks around the house.

I think your kicking the wrong cat. KDE is not doing these things it is
the debian packaging thats causing your dramas.

Hi Sluggers,
I wanted to get a digital camera for linux. I know nothing about this.

works on windows so for sure that brand is out.

As soon as theres any traffic on that port they will fire up and stay
there straight away. It's nothing to worry about it's normal behaviour.

I believe inetd only responds to connections not broadcasts. nmbd needs to
deal with broadcasts so hence the need for the daemon to stay active?
It sounds good but maybe someone with more experience might be able to
confirm this?

By default these days pppd sets the default route to the ppp connection.
Are you using the nodefaultroute option to pppd? on my debian system it's
in the /etc/ppp/options file.
You'll notice the default route points to the local network.

Run alien on them to turn them into debs! Your milage may vary but at
least then you can use dpkg to rip out the contents.

Are you sure you've got your resolv.conf/nsswitch.conf setup right? Sounds
like you've got a name resolution/dns problem.

I don't see how it could be encrypted in the mbr. What is running at that
stage to decrypt it? Should be easy enough to check if you have a little
spare time.

Why don't you have a look in the startup scripts and instead of running
the shell run sulogin instead?
