Check /etc/getty - I've got both getty and uugetty in both /bin and /etc
on my system, and I downloaded in on 01/26 from tsx-11.

Summary: seems like a legit bug.

Originator: janl@maud.ifi.uio.no


I have been working on getting cim (simula->C translator) compiled on
linux, this fall it was almost done except for some problems with fp
in the ends of the representation spectre. This was with 4.1 libs and
gcc2.2.2d7. When I wanted to look at it again during xmas break all
the old binary produced was parsing errors for a legit program. Now
using 4.2 libs, gcc 2.3.3, the kernel has also been updated.

The problem seems to come from the interaction between getc(3) and
ungetc(3). EOF is not reached, and the file is reread from start. See
debug output below. I would welcome any suggestions on how to proceed,
if maybe this is a known bug?

Inserting printf("INPUT %d %c",c,c) in the input procedure and
printf("UNPUT %d %c",c,c) in the unput proc. of the tokenizer and
running it on this program:

-----
begin
  outtext("Hello world!");
  outimage;
end;

  Sounds like maybe your name server isn't set up right.  Mine used to do that
too, but now I just tell it to ship all requests to another machine which
is our nameserver anyway.  Then I tell it, of course, where to look for that
one machine and viola!

  On a somewhat similar subject, how does one get ftpd running to understand
shadow passwords?  I am only assuming the problem is in ftpd, but it's just
a logical choice.  

  Last, but not least, where does one find the sources to portmap?  I can
get it from 386bsd, but I am not sure it'll compile straight off.

Thanks much,

You're a few days behind.  This was posted before 0.8.2 was out.

The changes between 0.8.1 and 0.8.2 were due to fast work by Stephen
Tweedie <sct@dcs.edinburgh.ac.uk> and Jean-loup Gailly (jloup@chorus.fr).

And in some cases, the builtin rules for submakes will become corrupt.
This is evident if you compile the SCSI code, and is the fault of a *BUG*
in make, which is due to the changes that I warn about.  Patches should be
out soon.

Organization: UMCC

I understand that the premier term program for Linux is the Xwindows program
Seyon (up to 1.8 or so?), but I have an ancient ega card and monitor which
is not soon to be changed that does not run Xwindows "visibly".  :-(

Anyway, I've made several attempts at getting minicom to work, with some
serious problems.  1) Anything that goes past the 79th column fails to 
wrap the screen, and I lose the c\r, so several lines of "too long" text
will overwrite itself.  2) The BS key sends ^? regardless of the setting
(I presume that it is a destructive BS, but somehow doesn't get interpreted
that way).

Finally, I've seen that someone suggests using gcc -fwriteable-strings on
minicom, but for some reason my SLS GCC installation doesn't understand
this option.

So, I'm pretty much ending up having to switch to MSDOS to do much terminal
communications.  Any clues or alternatives would be appreciated.

Hi All.

Ok, I have a problem with GCC. I tried compiling Sysvinit, but it complained
that something hadn't beed defined (some argument to wait4). Now I checked the
include files, and it was in <sys/wait.h>. I needed to define __USE_BSD, so
I did so, but It still wouldn't compile. In the end, I put in the #define
myself, directly above the line, and it worked.

What's going on here?

Hello.

I hope that someone could please send me a reply in netmail with the answer to the following questions:

I have the distribution disks of GCC2.3.3, written them raw with rawrite.

Everything seems to be OK.

Now, the following questions must be answered before I can really use it:

1. What are the environment variables I have to set?
2. When typing 'cc' i get the message 
   "cc: can't load library '/lib/libc.so.4' Incompatible version"
   When checking /lib, I see that there is a link from libc.so.4 to
   libc.so.4.1, which is really huge!, namel607236 bytes.
   Thing is, that I really do not know how I obtained this file,
   let alone am able to check if it is a 'compatible version' or not.
   Where can I find the right libc.so.4 in binary form?

Thanks in advance and keep on hacking.

Rene.

I think a better idea is to make compress capable of compressing many
files with one invocation -- producing an output stream that looks
something like, say, an afio archive, which is then process by tar in
lieu of reading the actual files -- thus avoiding process-per-file
overhead and staying out of the kernel.

**********************************************************************

	I'm having some major, major problems with lilo and linux on
my system and I hope that some kind person can help me.

I'm using Linux SLS 0.98 pl 1-37
and Lilo 0.8

My setup is two hard disks with Dos, OS/2 and Linux.
I'd like to use the OS/2 2.0 Boot manager to select which operating system 
boots at start up. OS2 and Linux are on my second hard disk with the 
boot manager on the first.

Firstly, in my LILO config file I had used boot=/dev/hdb5 when I had 
installed Linux in an extended partition. This allowed Linux to boot 
but came up with the error, file system not valid (or some such thing)
I couldn't even use the boot disk to reboot.

Then after reinstalling Linux in a primary partition on the second disk
I tried using boot=/dev/hda2 ie, that was a pointer to the second disk.
as indicated in the LILO manual.
However after using the boot manager selector I got !OS 2 SYS XXX error
and of course, no boot.

Then I tried boot=/dev/hda3 in the config file. With the boot manager 
I now get just the "L" in LILO comming up. with these last two methods 
I can still boot Linux from floppy.

Perhaps some kind soul could elighten me on where I should put what 
in order to produce the results I require.


My current disk set up is,
/
/dev/hda1 736 736 751 1088 OPUS
/dev/hda2 227 227 735 34612 Extd
/dev/hda3 1  1  124   15359 DOS
/dev/hda5 227 227 735 34603 DOS

/dev/hdb1 528 528 722 64642 Linux
/dev/hdb2 1   1   124 41080 DOS
/dev/hdb3 125 125 527 133594 Extd 
/dev/hdb5 125 125 341 71910 DOS
/dev/hdb6 342 342 527 61633 DOS

and my config file for LiIO is 
boot=/dev/hda3
compact
install=/etc/lilo/boot.b
image=/Image

any and all help would be greatfully appreciated.

I have read the FAQ and hardware compatibility list and don't see any

have any direct knowledge, I'd appreciate ideas on testing this
motherboard for compatibility before I buy it.  I can take a hard

Standard Unix is 30000. (not 32768.) Linux uses 65365 or something like
that.  This is bad.

int main ()
{
short pid;

pid = fork ();
if (pid < 0)
   <error>;
if (pid = 0)
   <child>;
else
   <parent>;
}

Hello!

I just wnat to know if XS3 supports Orchid Fahrenheit VA 801.
If it does, which version of the server?
I've been struggling to get it work and am getting to suspect
that XS3 DOES support it. I know you guys are tired of this
kind of question. But, this is a very serious matter for me,
because I've already sold my good old ET4000 board.


Please give me any ideas.



Thanks in advance,

Shin Seto

I have sigset() for Minix.  The differences seem to be as follows:

1. It gives reliable signals (sa_mask = 0).
2. If the signal is blocked, then sigset() returns SIG_HOLD instead of the
   old handler.
3. sigset(sig, SIG_HOLD) masks the signal.

So, -Dsigset=signal probably won't work if the application uses SIG_HOLD,
but Linux does not define SIG_HOLD (?) so the application will still not
compile.

-Dsigset=signal probably won't work if the application wants reliable
signals, either.  Linux signal() gives unreliable signals :-(.
