Organization: Unisys Corporation SLC
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1992 21:01:43 GMT

Does anyone have a definition for a 3COM 3c503 network adapter
board?  I am currently running a system with this board and would
like to be able to configure my 0.98.1 SLS system to use it.  If
anyone has had experience doing this I would greatly like to
learn from your experiences.

Thanks in advance for you help.

I don't think setuid shell scripts work in Linux (for a reason, I
might add: they are security holes).  Perhaps you could write a small

Subject: telnetd ! (again ...)

Hi.
I dunno what's going wrong ... I ftpd "new-telnet" from nic.funet.fi,
(btw: why is it gone again from this site), compiled it, and tried to
connect to the machine from another (Sunsparc). After the banner is shown,
the connection is closed by the linux-host. I cannot find the faulty execution,
since there's no core-dump produced (why not ???), and "print"s in telnetd
seem to be printed at random ? Let me demonstrate: write a new telnetd

----------< pseudo-telnetd in /usr/etc/inet/telnetd >------------------

#!/bin/sh
echo "First line of File"
echo "somewhere in the middle of the file"
echo "End of File. Thank you for using telnet, it was a real pleasure"

----------< End of pseudo-telnet >--------------------------------------

Okay. Now a session log.

root@kuemmel1 # cd /usr/etc/inet
root@kuemmel1 # telnetd
First line of File
somewhere in the middle of the file
End of File. Thank you for using telent, it was a real pleasure

Just to make sure I can write a shell-script doing 3 echos.

But now:

root@kuemmel1 # telnet localhost
Trying...
Connected to localhost.edvz.uni-linz.ac.at
EFirst line of File
somewhere in the middle of the file
Connection closed by foreign host.

Where is the last line of the script ??? Also, I really wanna know where
the "E" comes from after connecting ... I've been curious for such a long
time now ... :-) (Could it probably be an incomplete line that tries to say:
Escape character is '^]' ?)

I notice something fishy, too: when using the (still not working) telnetd,
it happens that inetd, too, vanishes. I have to run rc.net to start it again.

Too sad the following script doesn't work:

--------< alternate telnetd >---------------
#!/bin/sh
echo "Welcome, Herp !"
echo "---------------"
/bin/sh
echo "Good bye, Herp."
---------< snip snap >----------------------

Well, it does not work since telnet sends the options (WILL/WONT/IAC)
directly to the shell, preceding everything you type with control stuff.
therefore, /bin/sh doesn't recognize anything :-(

Herp.

Why don't we use Doc?  *BECAUSE* it's part of Interviews!  Not everyone will
have the ability to install X Windows on their machine(s).  You've also given
another good reason... it's still buggy under Linux.

Something more simple, which would be available for use even before they've
done any configuration, is necessary... else what editor will they use to
*do* the configuration?!?  Note that I say "editor".  Any full-blown "word
processor" is going to require configuration of some sort.  I would suggest
though that JOE 1.0.5 is a fairly decent editor that's not too baffling for
Joe D. User to figure out.

Personally, I like "vi"... but I've been using it for (ugh) over six years.
But Joe D. User downloaded Linux so that he'd have an operating system,
not so he could spend a week learning "vi" from scavenged documentation.

Then OS/2 is going to have a hard time.  OS/2 requires a "Shutdown"
command.  There are two things that do help the situation, though:

1. OS/2 automatically syncs the filesystem on Ctrl-Alt-Del, before
   rebooting the machine.  It is not a complete shutdown, as I don't
   think it saves your desktop, but it avoids FS corruption.

2. CHKDSK (a.k.a fsck) is executed automatically at boot time if a
   filesystem is marked "mounted", i.e. not demounted properly.

And yes, I use OS/2 when I don't use Linux.  Makes Windows look like
shit (which it basically is).

Depends on which dvi -> ps converter you have, and how you have it set
up.  It is possible to use postscript fonts in tex.  For example, with
dvi3ps fully installed, I can use the postscript fonts by doing, in
latex,
\documentstyle[times]{report}
and the native ghostscript times font will be used.  There are macros
for setting any true postscript fonts you like.  If you don't use
this, yes, it does download pk bitmaps as a font -- it isn't all
graphics, but the fonts you use are downloaded as postscript bitmap
fonts.  Once the fonts are downloaded, it just selects those fonts in
the same way that it would select any builtin postscript font, and
sends ascii characters the same way.

Hope this clears up any confusion.  If this causes any confusion, it
is entirely the fault of the keyboard.  Right.

All of the stuff from Evi's book is available for anonymous ftp

Hi! Been fighting with my system for the weekend. ka9q does an excellent
job of providing *outgoing* slip for my system at 9600 with v.42bis. 
I'm really pleased with it, in fact I'm using it now and there's no problems.

however.  I run a Bulletin Board.  I've got everything set up so that
internet users will be able to get to my board except for one slight problem.

KA9Q doesn't let you telnet into my machine!  the "telunix" client in
version 7 of ka9q (the latest i could find on the FTP sites) lists this 
as "completely broken".  I tend to agree.   

I hear that Kernel SLIP is in conceptual alpha phase, as in  someone else
besides me thinks that this is a good idea.   

Is anyone out there working on the ka9q telunix client? if not, what do 
I need to do to make it functional?  I don't have anything against using 
ka9q for my slip, in fact, i rather think it's going to be easier to 
use with my slip host than kernel slip will be.   

I've got the slip bug and the only cure is seeing someone i've never met
logging onto my computer! <grin>  Someone help a poor ol' sysop out here!

Also, I seem to recall hearing that someone managed to get the Pirates BBS
program to work under linux.  Is this a myth? I didn't see it on the 
ftp sites.  If it's true, are there diffs available?  Pirates is kinda weak,
but the Eagles BBS that grew from Pirates is a little more functional.
(This is a better solution than the current kludge i've got so that users
logging into my linux machine get routed out a serial port and connected 
to *another* pc running ms-dos and WWIV.  sick, isn't it. ;-) 

Anyway..  I hope someone can help me out.. thanks.

a complete new installation (losing my version 6 LILO files), I was able
to boot with the updated 0.98.p5 set.

However, after I tried to use the included LILO package, I found that I
could not boot into linux; had some problem with getting to the superblock.
I was however able to reboot and make the msdos selection within LILO.

I'm going to pull another copy of the LILO 6.0 package today to see if
it will work successfully.

 - Does anybody have a tape driver for floppy tapes like Colorado ?
 Please Email me where to find them (in scource)

An other question is about the Mail-Packet installed by SLS. I'vnt find
any configfiles for it. And there seems to be no doku. So how to config
for a SMARTHOST an using normal IN-Domain Adresses ? Also xmh does'nt
