Hi...

	Quick, and probably easy, question about ftp in
SLS.

	After much effort, I have telnet/ftp finally configured.
Well, almost.  I can easily telnet into the machine (loopback),
but if I try to ftp, I get the login prompt, but as soon as
I type in the account I want to ftp into, it says:

221 Server shutting down

	and that is it.  So, my questions with this are...
is there a log file somewhere that I can check for possible
errors? (something more descriptive)
anyone have any ideas, if no log file?

	My second question deals with talk...I keep seeing
stuff asked, but never answered :(  Now that my system seems
to be configured, talk still won't work.
	
	I used to get 'Target machine does not recognize us'...now
I seem to be getting 'Checking for invitation on caller's machine',
and then it just sits there and waits.  Does anyone have any ideas?
Solutions?

Thanks...

Marc

Can someone tell me where to find the source (preferable) or

know that a while back someone posted the address of a site 
that had a very large collection of dvi to _____ (fill in your
favorite printer!) programs; I even saved the post, but some-

If anybody knows where I can find such a beast, let me know

I for one haven't gotten term 0.99.* to work for diddley. 0.7.6 I got
working after running the linerem/check stuff and escaping a few
characters. (I dial in through an annex.) 0.99.l trsh works for a few
characters and then stops; linerem/check report losing all but about
four characters, no matter what magic values for shift or other stuff
I put in my termrc. (I don't know if linerem/check use that stuff or
not.) So I'm using 0.7.6 for now, thanks.

It seems to me that you have a sevenbit modem link. There is also
an option for this case in termrc: 'sevenbit'. And make also sure
you have exactly same termrc files in both ends.

Hello people!

Well, I've got a kinda strange question. . .

in the linux includes, specifically <math.h>, are there any equivilants for
the

#define DOMAIN    1
#define SING      2
#define OVERFLOW  3
#define UNDERFLOW 4
#define TLOSS     5
#define PLOSS     6

statements?  I know these are not posix defines, but I was just wondering.
(In ultrix, the "unix" I work with, they are nested under an #ifdef !POSIX_DEF
in math.h).  I looked, but being a newbie to all such things, of *course* I 
didn't find anything!

If you are wondering why I'm asking such a foolish question, I'm trying to
compile POV, a pretty nifty ray tracer--it dies with the above being 
undefined. . .

Hi All
I have tried the new networkstuff in net-bin-0.2.tar.Z in sunsite.unc.edu 
(incoming) and have had a few problems:
with the new inetd after bootup linux the login on tty1 asks me for id and
passwd but after that i can not give any further comand, the logins on tty2-4
work o.k.. I installed the old inetd and it worked good.

Also ls in ftp seems to work with the old inetd but not with the new one.

talk also did not work with the new inetd but works now with the old one.

with rsh, and rlogin i have alway had some problems: they work o.k. until
i give a misspelled command: 'rsh sg1501 foo' (foo does not exist), after
dis nither rsh nor rlogin will do anything, they simply wait until i press
ctrl-c, even when i try with something like 'rsh sg1501 ls' which worked 
before.

The other progs work fine for me now. (telnet is not that fast)

Yes, I tried; the problem is that, while emacs run smoothly, vi tell me "screen 
too little" and exits. I think it's some kind of "compilation parameter" of
elvis, cause when I connect my hp48 to the decstation vi run smoothly. 
I tipically use emacs, but when I have a slow term I "feel" better with vi.

I'll try joe.

Organization: Computer Science Department University of Rochester
Distribution: na
Date: Thu, 7 Jan 1993 00:14:22 GMT

Hi,

Any of you linux gurus with similar setup, 
could you please help me with the Xconfig file.
I am a novice at playing with PC hardware.

I have a Gateway 2000 486sx at 25MHz with CrystalScan 1024NI monitor.
The system documentation says it has a built-in WD90C31 enhanced 32-bit
super VGA display adapter. 
The monitor is dual frequency (31.5, 48KHz horizontal and 50-90Hz vertical).
The mouse is Microsoft with PS2 compatible mouse port.


In my Xconfig the mouse line reads:
Microsoft "/dev/bmouseps2"

When I startx, with clocks and chipset lines commented, 
the clocks reported are 25 28 18 0 14 16 37 20.
Among the configured drivers, it seems to automatically detect pvga1 with
1M mem and 8 Numclocks.

I tried the monitor timings given in vga.dbase file without any success.
I also tried using modegen2.sc to calculate timings for the given
monitor frequencies (31.5KHz horizontal and 60Hz vertical), but they
did not fix the problems either. 
The best I have gotten is with the timings I computed using modegen2.sc:
I get a blue screen with the wire-frame of xclock. As soon as I move the
mouse, the clock appears at some random place and the pointer sticks to
the top of the screen. The pointer becomes jerky and moves only at the
top of the screen. I have to Ctrl-Alt-Backspace at this point. 
I tried mono configuration too with no success.


Now, if anyone out there has a similar configuration working, could you please
email me your Xconfig files, or any other clue that may help.

Thanks in advance.

A question for all you long time *nix users:

A typical system seems to consist of a number of like-named directories, such
as /bin, /usr/bin, /usr/local/bin, and so on.  What rules of thumb have been
evolved (if any) to guide where new items should be placed?  I am interested
in the rationale of the nomenclature more than a concrete "programs starting

You should place the .sa libs in /usr/X386/lib. xmkmf will specify
-L/usr/X386/lib so that ld can find the libs.

Atof works just fine. I have a ton of stuff compiled here that uses it and

I am having problems with term099k.tar.Z I got from sunsite, which is
supposed to let me run X clients on a remote machine though a modem
link. The following is what I did:

Following the instructions in the README file, I connected to the remote
machine with xcomm, ran term, break back to xcomm prompt by ctrl-A,x and
typed "$ term". Then I opened another xterm and ran trsh. After a short
delay, I get a "csh>" prompt. Yeah, that's great, I thought, I was able
to get a shell on the remote machine as decribed in the README file. But
then, after typing a few (actually 2, pwd and ls) commands, it hanged.
So I go back to read the README file, which suggests that I may have a
dirty line that some characters got eaten. I ran linerem/check, and
was told that characters 128-255 got eaten. Ok, I added the line
"escape 128-255" to the file ~/.term/termrc at both ends and tried again.
The same thing happened ...
