    i need to partition, but.............

    In my experience (a lot) Partition Magic is the tool of choice. It's one of the most useful things I've ever purchased. However, here are some other possibilities. Most Linux distributions come with a tool called 'fips' . fips will move your data toward the beginning of a partition so you can...

    ftp of an entire directory

    Yep, I don't know about that faq script but the ftp commands are as follows (and these can be used in a script if you know how to make a here-to construct): mput * mget * mput is multiple-put. mget is multi-get. You can give it wildcards and it will grab them all. One thing though, it will...

    ftpd login takes forever to start...

    That other response may be making this all too complicated. Try this: on your Redhat 7.1 machine (the one you're ftp'ing into) put an entry in the /etc/hosts file for the machine you are ftp'ing FROM. Give it the IP address and host name. That usually causes ftp and telnet to respond...

    How to telnet into redhat 7.1

    Has someone successfully activated the telnet server on Redhat 7.1? inetd changed to xinetd with a new style configuration file. The examples in the man page didn't work. Am I missing something? Wayne / willywonka

    telnet in redhat 7.1

    Has someone configured telnet server to work in redhat 7.1 . xinetd has replaced inetd with a new style configuration. How do I configure telnet and ftp to be able to login from remote machines? Is there more needed than just the xinetd.conf set up? Wayne/Willywonka

    rdate on redhat 6.2

    I notice I cannot rdate to a redhat 6.2 server. I can rdate to Solaris, SGI and slackware servers. And I can rlogin to the redhat 6.2 server. What is it about RH-6.2 that is blocking an rdate inquiry? Wayne

    sluggish box

    Here are some ideas: First of all, Linux is stable enough that a crashed application will not crash the O/S. I'd be really surprised if it does. You should be able to recover without rebooting the box but you probably don't know how. It's good to say what distribution of Linux you are using and...

    Mounting samba shares

    My question is, how do I mount the Samba shares on my file server to reflect what windows,linux shares are availible on the network. Keeping in mind that, some machines may change thier o/s's through-out the day. Mounting the remote...

    Sed Question

    If the string you search for is unique in the file, it will be easier to use grep -v string file. This will give (to stdout) all the lines EXCEPT the line containing 'string'. grep -v string file > new.file will put everything except the line containing 'string' in the new file which you can...

    XNTPD questions

    What are the purposes of xntpd and xntpdc - server and client, presumably. However, I wish to have my linux boxes automatically synchronize to a time server on my lan so I assume they will be clients. The xntpd start up script in...

    XNTPD - server or client?

    What are the purposes of xntpd and xntpdc - server and client, presumably. However, I wish to have my linux boxes automatically synchronize to a time server on my lan so I assume they will be clients. The xntpd start up script in inet.d (Redhat-6.2) only runs xntpd (and ntpdate). Also, I don't...

    UNIX - File System Please explain

    To help us help you, are you using Linux or Unix and what version or distribution? There are several unix file systems. ext2 is most popular on Linux, then there's ufs, hpfs and others on unix. Regarding the question: is it similar? - Well, both ext2 and NTFS have various time stamps, will...

    TERM=LINUX

    To set for a single user: TERM=vt100 ; export TERM can be put in the .profile of the user's home directory. To set it globally for all users (including root) put it in /etc/profile. /etc/profile is executed before the users .profile files. If you are using bash the individual user's profile...

    how to rename Host

    I have found that sys-unconfig also disturbed other parts of my configuration and I was not happy with the result. It seemed too invasive. It actually disturbed the operation of some applications. I am still looking for the way to change the identity of a solaris-8 machine (hostname and IP...
