Ever since I installed SuSE 7.0, I've been getting occasional segmentation faults. Sometimes it involves hppd, and the other day route.conf reported a segmentation fault in line one. What are segmentation faults, what causes them, and how can I avoid/get rid of them? Thanks.

The address would be www.hophead.dyndns.org. I'm responding to the list since I think your ISP uses the DUL list. Nick

Once upon a time I found a program that displayed an ANSI color Tux image as the login. Its readme said in order for this (and similar ANSI files) to work in SuSE you have to cat ansi_coded_text file > /etc/issue.net (for telnet logons) and cat ansi_coded_text file > /etc/issue (for local logins) In this case the existing issue.* is replaced by the ANSI. Or do cat ansi_coded_text file >> /etc/issue.net (for telnet logons) and cat ansi_coded_text file >> /etc/issue (for local logins). In this case the ANSI is appended from the second line. Try this and please write back. Koray

( www.dyndns.org ) Could it work throughout my ADSL connection with an IP adress 62.4.186.191 mask 255.255.254.0 which is IMO is not a class C adress. If not, could a redirection dyndns --> IP ISP ---> my IP work ? Thanks for any suggestion filip
