[SuSE Linux] xterm logging
by mephisto＠pulse.com 21 Jan '99

21 Jan '99

I'm running Intel SuSE 5.3 and would like to enable xterm logging. I see this feature is indicated in .../app-defaults/XTerm, i.e. *mainMenu.Label: Main Options *mainMenu*securekbd*Label: Secure Keyboard *mainMenu*allowsends*Label: Allow SendEvents *mainMenu*logging*Label: Log to File <<<<< Here <<<<<<<<< *mainMenu*redraw*Label: Redraw Window *mainMenu*8-bit control*Label: 8-Bit Controls *mainMenu*backarrow key*Label: Backarrow Key *mainMenu*sun function-keys*Label: Sun Function-Keys *mainMenu*sun keyboard*Label: Sun/PC Keyboard *mainMenu*suspend*Label: Send STOP Signal *mainMenu*continue*Label: Send CONT Signal *mainMenu*interrupt*Label: Send INT Signal *mainMenu*hangup*Label: Send HUP Signal *mainMenu*terminate*Label: Send TERM Signal *mainMenu*kill*Label: Send KILL Signal *mainMenu*quit*Label: Quit but I'm unable to get the logging option to display on the Main Options menu and logging remains disabled. I can not find any place where this option is overridden. What am I missing here???

Craig Put ethernet cards in them and link them daisy chain style with thin ethernet cable, T pieces and terminators at the two ends. The windows kit includes tcp/ip as does the linux.

Rh hasn't been a official standard for anything, but It's a real one when you see companies makin' it's products with rh in minf (oracle,interbase,db2...). Also rh is probably the most used linux distro by now, in spain sure its and the same for USA. If that's not a de facto standard windows isn't a monopoly.

Even I know it can't be quite that easy - I have no idea what hard-ware he has etc. But I'm wondering if it might be possible to do an install in such a way that all he has to do on his return is to re-install the basic system, then mount the partition where I've put the audio software etc. Is this at all a practical proposition???

[SuSE Linux] LoginApp on SUSE 5.3 --> MiniHOWTO
by gh＠simteam.com 21 Jan '99

21 Jan '99

Hi, Yesterday I posted about replacing the graphical login available with SUSE 5.3 (i.e xdm or kdm) with the Login.app from Per Liden with a custom image from Largo's page ( <A HREF="http://wm.current.nu/misc.html"><A HREF="http://wm.current.nu/misc.html</A">http://wm.current.nu/misc.html</A</A>> ). It is working ok now, if you are interested, here is the roadmap: + download the sources from: <A HREF="http://www.student.hk-r.se/~pt96pli/login/"><A HREF="http://www.student.hk-r.se/~pt96pli/login/</A">http://www.student.hk-r.se/~pt96pli/login/</A</A>> instructions about using a custom image are on Largo's page ( see link above). + build them ( read Per Instructions they are very simple) + Do you use glibc (libc6) Y/n I answered no + Do you use shadow password Y/n I answered yes because I found an/etc/shadow file and I have a star in the passwd position in the /etc/passwd. + to build you just have to type 'build' + then do 'make install'. you have to modify my /etc/inittab et initdefault level to 3 at the beginning of the file, then farther in the file /etc/inittab you will find a section like this # getty-programs for the normal runlevels # <id>:<runlevels>:<action>:<process> # The "id" field MUST be the same as the last # characters of the device (after "tty"). 1:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty --noclear tty1 2:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty2 3:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty3 4:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty4 5:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty5 6:123:respawn:/sbin/mingetty tty6 Add this line x:3:respawn:/usr/X11R6/bin/Login.app >& /dev/null In the /etc/rc.config a line ( which can be accessed from YAST) which gives you the choice for login console/xdm/kdm, put console). Be sure then and it's the last step that you have a valid ~/.xinitrc then it's Ok :) you are ready to reboot !!

What is the name of the programed launched when you type "mail" at the command line? I am trying to figure it out a little better, but I don't know which man pages to read. I recall that to send mail, you type <mail> <space> <e-mail address> and when finished, type<return> <.period> and it mails.? I got EOF when I did that? What about checking mail? Do I have to invoke fetchmail, then "mail"? Etc. TIA.
