For normal TCP connections, this sort of thing is simple. In fact it has already been done. Maybe chupchup will post his rrd program? For more complicated things like ftp, things get hairy, but with skillfull programming it could be done. You're esentially doing routing at the application level instead of the IP level as is usual. --- jim@ferkel.ucsb.edu --- Jim Lick --- jim@tcp.com --- jIngOrO@CaveMUCK --- - "I'd vote for a statue of Bob's Big Boy over George Bush!" -Matt Groening - --- CaveM...

Hi.... I am hearing some scattered reports of problems, but which are contradicted by others saying that they have no problems once they updated to 0.98pl3. I *think* that at least some of the internal modem problems have been solved, but I am not sure if everybody's problems have been solved. I am also trying to separate out people who are having problems which may be due to configuration error --- for example, the /dev/ttys1 --> (COM1, COM2) confusion --- from people who are genuinely having p...

Okay, I've gotten this far without help, but now I'm stuck. I have an RTVGA card and a Samsung VGA monitor, and 0.98 and X386 installed. When I run "X386 -pn" I get: Configured drivers VGA 256 (256 colour SVGA) et4000, et3000, pvga1, gvga, ati, tvga8900 ***None of the configured devices was detected.*** Fatal server error: No screens found When I run "X386mono -pn" the screen flashes with color for just a moment, and: Fatal server error: Failed to initialize...

Try HJ's libdisks.

The question is again: How do I make LILO let me choose between *OS* and Linux at bootup? I believe this question has been asked frequently enough for it to be considered a Frequently Asked Question.

I was trying to get XFree to run on my system. I looked through the video tutorials and it mentioned a file called clock.exe which is used to find the clock entries for Xconfig. I installed X from SLS, and I can't find the file? Can anyone help? Thank you.

There is a simple patch (removing one test in an if-statement in memory.c), but it's not a real solution to the problem, so I won't even post it here (I did post it to the NET channel as I wanted some response to some other problems with tcp/ip). 0.98.3 will correct all of these that I have so far gotten reports on (and the pre-version that is available to limited testers (ie the mailing-lists) corrects 99% of them). 0.98.3 will be out this weekend, so I'd suggest you wait two days for it. ...

Hi, I wonder if anybody has come across the following problem and know of any way of solving it. I helped a friend to install Linux on his new machine the other day. I was using the SLS distribution (the latest one) and everything seemed to work fine except when I tried to start X. After typing 'startx' the system simply rebooted after a few seconds. The machine has a 486DX2 50Mhz processor, 256k cache, and a Tseng Labs ET4000 Hicolor card. The funny thing is when I disabled the cache , ...

I get the same problem with any standard (BSD) networking All you need to have running is inetd. you will need something like config loopback 127.0.0.1 You can also set aditional adresses, but there is little point if

Is there a simple way to turn this NULL pointer trapping off? So I have a machine I can login to login: root Unable.... is not much use.

The last bit is the problem, due to the lack of sources for the programs to use TCP. Where are they?/What changes need to be made to standard BSD sources to get them to compile under linux?

Well, this sounded like a fun thing to try, so I tried starting the minix univeral boot version under the linux DOS-emu, in the hope that it would work as it uses the BIOS for most things. I'm afraid it doesn't. It actually gets as far as loading the kernel and printing out the minix copyright message and asking for the keyboard type. But after giving the correct keyboard, minix starts to do something to the DMA registers (I haven't looked at the source - but that's what the dosemu debugging i...

Hmm. While it's entirely possible that linux won't work on the machines (it does happen), the fact that it doesn't work on *any* of them makes me wonder about your boot-disk (and possibly root-disk) integrity. Linux does work on most AT-386's it seems, and the above seems a bit too unlucky (although at least some Compaq machines are known for doing things their own way: Compaq has this IBM-complex and thinks it can change the standards to suit itself. I think it's gotten better). The easiest ...

Hello all. I've just got the X386mono server going on my machine. However, it's not taking any input from the keyboard!! Everything else works, though. I have entered stuff into Xterms by cutting-and-pasting, and the Xterms work fine, but nothing is reading the keyboard! Not even the shut down server key combination works. My setup is: 80386DX 16MHz (Intel motherboard) 2.5Mb RAM (yes, I know, but X will still work and I can get some 'Xtoys' up without problems) Paradise VGA (16-bit car...

Greetings, I've just finished installing SLS v0.98pl1 up from v0.96, and have discovered a new problem. It seems that after the first command I issue after logging in just after bootup I get the following message: nr_free_pages is 2, but no free memory found It doesn't seem to hurt what I'm doing, but it is unnerving to see such messages (I've been running Linux since 0.11-0.12 and haven't seen anything like this, I'm using the SLS kernel, but I usually compile my own when possible). I'm...

There is already support in Linux for the IBM extended ASCII character set. In a few hours, as soon as it get UUCP back up and running, I will post too short C programs. One to set "IBM" mode, and another to reset the display to it's initial state regardless of the current condition. When working one a system that supports multiple keyboard definitions, I will ofter change keyboards several times a day, sometimes per hour. When editing French text, I use a French keyboard, when programming I u...

Having indicated some problems I had with the SLS release of linux (lilo, tcpip, etc), and sugesting that I might clear things up regarding where things go, I was encouraged to go ahead. Will try to find the time in the next week. My problems with non-root users running ps and top was easy to fix: put ps and top in the mem group so they can read /dev/kmem. IMHO, it's a security breach to make /dev/kmem world readable, as was suggested. Logging in was a different matter for non-root users: I had to ...

I am going to take a class that requires a little Minix programming ( either this spring or in the fall ) and I was wondering if anyone ever tried to run Minix ( an 8088 version, of course, not the 386 version ) under Linux. I realize that the best solution would be to convince the teacher to use Linux instead of Minix, but Linux does not come with a textbook.. It would be pretty neat if I could run 4 or 5 instances of Minix under Linux, but I haven't got a clue if this is possible. Anyone ...

To fix ps, top, etc in SLS, just do the following: chown root.mem /dev/kmem It seems that I copied the /dev dir from Hlu's root disk, and and it broke kmem.
