Thanks for the reply iribach, Are you saying that setuid programs can only be written by the root ? That sounds strange, what if a different user wants to grant privelage to his files. For example in my case I'm in a univresity network, so obviously I won't get root permissions, but still I...

Hi, I'm trying to run a simple setuid program on Linux. I know that shell scripts aren't allowed to setuid, so I wrote a simple C file to do the job (yes I know it's not wise to use the system() command, it's just for testing purposes). This is the code: #include <unistd.h> #include...

I always preffer using gcc, it seems to work better usually, but this time when I changed the makefile to set the variable CC = gcc I got exactly the same errors.

Hi, I'm trying to install a window manager called CTWM it can be seen at: http://ctwm.dl.nu/ But when I run 'make' I get stuck with this message: [0]root@slicer:/usr/local/ctwm-3.6#make /usr/ccs/bin/yacc -d gram.y conflicts: 8 shift/reduce mv y.tab.c gram.c mv y.tab.h gram.h cc -O -Xc -xF...

hpwizzard thanks for the advise, I'll check the BIOS next time I get to work(next week). About the other OS, the printer does work under Solaris as an ascii printer with no real problem I'm just trying to get CUPS to work in order to print postscript documents.

I'm trying to get my HP printer to work using CUPS(Common UNIX Printing System), I have a Solaris 8 system, the printer is connected to the parallel port /dev/printers/0. When I add the printer (using the easy web interface) and send a test page nothing happens, and then when I restart the job I...

I get that message when I try to log in to the samba server in a share called homes which looks like this: [homes] comment = Home Directories path = /export/home/%u read only = No create mask = 0750 hosts allow = pc497 What am I doing wrong? Did I use the %u the right way?

What's the difference jamisar? I haven't worked much with a Bourne shell, so I don't know the syntax very well.

You're right Ken, I was missing the / (not that it made any difference). I've got to go now. Thanks for the help, REL

I understand not to run over the old MANPATH. What I'm saying is that some users don't have any MANPATH that is they get: [0]test11@slicer:~>echo $MANPATH MANPATH: Undefined variable. but still if I try &quot;man man&quot; it will find the man page. Back to my problem I added this line to...

Thanks Ken, I was a bit scared to add such a line to /etc/profile since nothing of the such existed before. Where is the default man pages search path defined BEFORE a variable MANPATH is assigned? I mean that users with no mention of MANPATH can still see some man pages, how do I know which...

Try out this site, I haven't tried their scripts yet but they sound pretty good. http://www.backupcentral.com/free-backup-software2.html R.E.L

Hi, Some of the programs I install require updating of the MANPATH variable to acess their man pages. How do I update the man page search path for all users in the system so they can all see the new man pages? Is there some kind of global MANPATH variable, that all users have on startup?

I checked ashok's suggestion and looked at the output but didn't know what it is supposed to show me. I didn't have a network connection at the time so I couldn't post the output. About Butterfly and packageman's suggestions, When the work station was bought it ran perfectly with the same...

It works now! I went back to version 1.1.Oct3 and changed the flag &quot;-KPIC&quot; to &quot;-fPIC&quot; in the configure file, and now it works, thank god. Thanks for the response jad. R.E.L

Sadly enough YES I do need this to work. What I'm aiming at is a free graphical DICOM client(that's a format of medical images like CAT scan MRI UltraSound and so on). The only free graphical Dicom client I found is based on the fltk tool kit. If you can find me a different Dicom client that...

Hi, We've got a SunBlade1000 workstation with BIG problems. When it was purchased a few months ago it used to crash all the time(I wans't woking here yet), so the local Sun guy installed alot of Patches to fix the problem. Since then the station is VERY SLOW, especially when we run an...

Hi, I'm trying to compile a program called FLTK (you can check it out at http://www.fltk.org/), and I'm getting compilation errors that I don't know how to deal with. Here's an abstract: ------------------ checking X11/extensions/Xdbe.h usability... no checking X11/extensions/Xdbe.h presence...

It works! I got back to work today and it works, I have no idea what changed since last time, but it works now. Thanks for help the gheist.
