Provisional ALUG4
by MJ Ray 07 Oct '99

07 Oct '99

Hi all, It's all gone a bit mad here, but I've managed (finally) to book a room for ALUG4 on Sunday 24 October, from 1400->1700 (presumably heading for the bar afterwards as usual). It's only the same room as last time, but I'm hoping to prepare our external network connection in advance this time.

Off-topic: Good Solaris guide?
by Martyn Drake 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

Off-topic, I know, but does anybody know of a decent web site with a guide to Sun Solaris 5.7? There are certain elements that I just can't seem to find under Solaris which are readily available under Linux and want to know if they have Solaris equivelents..

Off-topic: Good Solaris guide?
by Andrew.Chandler＠ft.com 30 Sep '99

30 Sep '99

Martyn, http://www.SunFreeware.com/ has lots of Solaris Package files of various GNU utilities that are standard on most Linux distros but are lacking on Solaris. Also have a look at http://www.SolarisCentral.org/ as it has pointers to all things Solaris.

scp/ssh help needed
by jg＠cyberstorm.demon.co.uk 27 Sep '99

27 Sep '99

OK this sucks big time... Here I am (right now), using scp to upload a small (1KB) index.php file to a webserver in the States run by VA (see below). I watch the initial upload, then all goes quiet indefinetly. I've tried many times without success. I've had it suggested that the server may be doing a reverse dns lookup on my, yet nslookup <myip> works fine. Any ideas, only watching a 1KB upload for more than five/ten minutes gets boring... Please? -- James Green jg(a)cyberstorm.demon.co.uk Site Manager jg(a)linuxnewbie.com LinuxNewbie.com LNC http://www.cyberstorm.demon.co.uk/ [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]
