[SuSE Linux] killing users and protocols
by mclark＠datsrvr.datsit.com 26 Aug '98

26 Aug '98

I have noticed that I will have ports stuck on FIN_WAIT or CLOSED_WAIT when I am having trouble with netscape. Can I kill the port?? I would like to be able to kill these 'hanging' connections and move on!! I would also like to know how to kick a user out manually, if I decide said user is not playing nicely. On the same topic, how do I watch a user's actions in real time so I can form an opinion about their actions before damage is done??

Hi, Thank you for your answer about the encaps. I renamed it and successfully built the kernel with gcc version egcs-2.90.29. Ok, here's another one :) Do you know how I can build libg++ 2.7.2 with glibc 2 (libc6) When compiling the libio-part the "/usr/include/stdio.h" gets included and it uses some "_IO_cookie..." struct defined in "/usr/include/libio.h" but because the "libio.h" , which does NOT declare/define the struct "_IO_cookie...", is found in directory "." (libio) things get screewed up. regards - Ingvaldur Sigurjonsson -----Original Message----- From: Hubert Mantel <mantel(a)suse.de> To: suse-linux-e(a)suse.com <suse-linux-e(a)suse.com> Date: den 25 augusti 1998 14:05 Subject: [SuSE Linux] Re: wrong objdump parameters when building kernel > >Hi, > >On Tue, Aug 25, Ingvaldur Sigurjonsson wrote: > >> I'm trying to build the 2.0.34 kernel but the build complains when it's >> running "objdump -k -q" >> It says: objdump: --illegal option "-k" >> >> Is that correct? >> >> I've tried with both objdump from binutils 2.8.1 and binutils 2.9.1 >> >> I tried to remove the "-k -q" from "OBJDUMP_FLAGS" >> "/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/Makefile" but it didn't help. >> >> Does anyone know why I get this message? > >The kernel makefile decides on the existance of "encaps" whether you have >old binutils.

Re: [SuSE Linux] Rougewave tools.h port?

Am porting some of my DSP tools to SuSE (or any linux). Has anyone ported Rougewave tools.h package to Linux? If so I would love the make file. Yes, this is a licensed product, but Rougewave doesn't care what you run on, as long as you paid the licenses. We want to move off our HP's. So if anyone has seen a makefile for it, much apprecated. - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] Yet another printing question
by sina＠glue.umd.edu 25 Aug '98

25 Aug '98

Hello everyone. I have read the printing How-To and still can't completely solve my printing problems. I have a SuSE 5.2 machinine and print on a remote printer (one with its own IP address). I think my problem is a translation from the European a4 paper to the US letter size paper: My printed postscript files are off center. About one cm from each printed page is chopped off from the top and the margin at the bottom is 1 cm too large. The /etc/apsfilterrc is too cryptic for me to find out how to remedy this. Any quick and easy answer to this problem? (By the way I have had a hard time printing text too. It would come out ina "stepwise" format. Many people on this list have given me helpful advice. But the only way I could solve this was with the a2ps command) Thanks, Ramin Sina - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] wrong objdump parameters when building kernel

Hi, I'm trying to build the 2.0.34 kernel but the build complains when it's running "objdump -k -q" It says: objdump: --illegal option "-k" Is that correct? I've tried with both objdump from binutils 2.8.1 and binutils 2.9.1 I tried to remove the "-k -q" from "OBJDUMP_FLAGS" "/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/Makefile" but it didn't help. Does anyone know why I get this message? The man-page for objdump does not at all includes these options, should they?

[SuSE Linux] Linux and the future [was SuSE 5.3... I'm Ready!!]
by s.seifert＠informatikbuero.com 25 Aug '98

25 Aug '98

When I read some mails here I get the impression that many people want to see all software on this planet free or at least GPL'ed. It's an interesting perspective if you think about it. All software is free, that's good for the users but, who will develop this software? If you can't earn any money of doing this work you can't live from it. You have only to think about computer games. How to get the millions of $$ you need for them. This is only an example. I think there are many other things impossible to do without any money to earn. Otherwise, software is easy to publish free. So it's clear that it is the first thing to do so. It's possible that it will be not alone some time in the future... I think it'll be very interesting waiting and watching wich way this all goes. Think about it, it's possible that in the future history says "Linux was the first step into a free world". waiting and watching, Stefan Seifert E-mail: Stefan.Seifert(a)Informatikbuero.com home: www.ifb.at/stefan - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Hi, We're currently using a MHS/SMF70 based email system (XPressIt & Connect2) on our Novell network. The connection to the internet is done with a UUCP gateway. This should be replaced in the future by a SMTP gateway. There are some commercial solutions running under NT, but I want to prefer linux for several reasons ;-) Does anybody knows about a linux gateway between MHS and SMTP?

[SuSE Linux] Helloooooooo...Question about apsfilter and Laserjet 6L

Where _is_ everybody?? I was bored today and discovered that when I select my printer's resolution to be 300x300 (via yast's apsfilter setup) my ps output is a little rough. So I decided to enter 600x600 and I get really crappy output. My printer is a Laserjet 6L and I'm using the ljet4l setting in apsfilter. Anybody running the same printer? Any suggestions to improve my print quality? Thanks, Mark (waiting for 5.3) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

[SuSE Linux] smbmount gives all upper case?
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 25 Aug '98

25 Aug '98

I learned something the hard way today. I smbmounted from an NT box and all the filenames came across uppercase. This was never a problem until I tried to use the 32X CDROM drive on the NT side to (re)install Mathematica. I found out the hard way that I could not run the scripts for Linux because they were looking for mixed case file names. I looked over the man page for smbmount and did not see a switch for preserving case. Is there another tool that works better? Or perhaps a switch I didn't see. or even a newer version of smbmount that preserves case?
