from a module called inflate.c which is used to uncompress the kernel image once it has been loaded into memory. The most likely cause of the message therefore is the compressed kernel image as loaded into memory being corrupt and in the case of a kernel being loaded from hard disk the most likely cause of that is the LILO kernel image map being out of date so LILO loads the wrong disk blocks. The solution is to make sure the /sbin/lilo commands gets run between installing the kernel onto the hard disk of the newly installed machine and the reboot. Hope this helps. Steve.

encrypt passwords, or you tell linux to encrypt them, - at present I have it set so that win 98 is still encrypted (although Chris on the list has sent me a utility to turn it off) and I have the line in smbconf encrypted passwords = yes...I haven't got the link to the smbpasswd file in the conf file though....don't even know if i have the passwd file, I'll check tonight (actually have the time to poke about because - YES! - it's the weekend!). I have downloaded the O Reilly book, thanks whoever supplied the link there - I obviously haven't come to the bit about passwords yet. I may try turning the encryption on the win98 machine OFF first. So little time...... Hope I'm not bugging anyone making all these posts on one topic, BTW, not sure what the etiquette is as this is my first mailing group. :-) Let me know if I am! Jenny.

definitions in the Xfree config file that can be used when you start the X server. Another useful tip I found along these lines is for running a second X session when you have CTRL-ALT-F2'd to another console. Use: startx -- :1 (or I guess 2 if you have used F3 - not tried though!) I've found this useful when someone is logged on and has locked their screensaver. > PS I like the sig > > > --- > > Paul Tansom: Talking to penguins can be inTUXicating, whereas > > talking to windows is only 1 step away from talking to the wall! :-) > <remaining sig snipped> I won't take offence ;-) --- Paul Tansom: Talking to penguins can be inTUXicating, whereas talking to windows is only 1 step away from talking to the wall! --- Smoothwall project home page: http://www.smoothwall.org/ Smoothwall project community contact: community(a)smoothwall.org

From: "crazy" <chris(a)gimmel.com> To: <uklugs(a)lug.org.uk> Subject: job feedback - help appreciated Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2000 17:12:19 -0000 My company has an urgent need for Linux "System Administrator" but it's not really an admin role in the traditional sense more of an integrator to help create a new commercial Linux server, and we need a C/C++ developer. We have a real hassle trying to find anyone with Linux know-how through the job agency route, JobServe, advertising in the national Press. We have tried all these routes many times with success ranging from none to very limited. My impression is that nobody's really using Linux commercially apart from the ISPs. I attach a couple of vacancies we currently have. I wonder if there are some mailing groups that would welcome this, would you send it to them for me or let me know who they are. We are based in London. Vacancies: Linux System Administrator Internet Company is looking fro you to be part of the E-future! Perm position available for experienced candidate with following skills: - Linux (Debian/RedHat) - core Internet protocols : DNS, SMTP, POP3, FTP - Apache or other webserver - CGI - Perl an advantage (we use it for shell scripting rather than CGI) - Ability to proactively manage a system and solve problems before they arise. - Salary (depending on experience) C++ Developer for Linux - Understand Linux environment (Debian/RedHat) - C++ experience essential - CGI knowledge an advantage - Apache or webservers - Ability to proactively build software solutions on Linux - Salary (depending on experience) ____________________________ Gimmel Internet & Digital Marketing. 201-203 City Rd.

Yes, that would work, however, why have a script, running as root, constantly looping? With a crontab you can get it to check every hour whether pppd has died: 0 * * * * /root/check-ppp 1>/dev/null or every 10mins (I think the syntax is right..): */10 * * * * /root/check-ppp 1>/dev/null check-ppp: #!/bin/sh /sbin/ifconfig | /usr/bin/grep ppp0 >/dev/null 2>&1 if [ "$?" = "1" ]; then /usr/sbin/ppp-go # or whatever you are using to start pppd fi or something like that.. >I noticed that even with idle time set the link wasn't going down...

Not afaik. Could the intervals that icq and netscape generate traffic be altered, or not run in the background?

-quote- Subject: Linux-Mandrake 6.1 Date: Mon, 29 Nov 1999 16:36:45 GMT From: simon.pickstock(a)futurenet.co.uk (Reviews Editor PCA) Newsgroups: pcanswers.discussion,pcanswers.cdandsoftware,pcanswers.windows I would like to apologise for the lack of postings from the PC Answers team. We are waiting to find out what happened with this month's CD, and until we have, we are reluctant to speculate We are still waiting for the CD masters to be returned so we can see where the error occurred, but at the moment it would appear that it was caused by a duplication error. However, until we get those masters back we cannot say for sure what the cause is. We will of course keep you posted as to any developments, both on these groups and the PCA Web site. Please be assured that we are doing everything we can to resolve this situation.
