Well I solved this problem very simply: get a machine whose ISA slots
actually work! After having successfully used the WD8003 card on 4 other
machines, but not this one, I decided there must be something wrong with
this one. So I tried another machine and it all went first pop!

This is somewhat of a bizarre question for this group, but you can
assimilate it. I've just encountered a gentleman from Beijing who has
a mac program which he would like to run on a Intel PC platform. I've
heard mention of a mac software emulator that runs under Unix. I wish I
had more info, but

Hi there ... I've got some empty high speed SCSI drives laying around

You will get plenty of advice about this. I just did the same thing,
using copy in mc. mc has an option to maintain UID and GID on copy. It
only worked for the files. The directories were made with root's umask.
I didn't loose any symlinks. The only problem I had was the directory

Yes. I saw the posting to the kde list by Alan Cox, I believe it was. I
wonder if you, or another Debianite, could tell me just how easy it would
be to attach to a tcp port and send/recv commands to take advantage of
that security hole? I know a programmer would have no trouble exploiting
this.

Hi all,
I've got a problem I've stuck with. I try to set up an secure
apache web server (apache 1.1.3 + SSL 0.6.4) and self-signed certification
authority for our network. Regarding the SSL itself and secure server I've
succeeded, I've set it up and working. But I'm not able to set up a CA.
A couple of times my machine has been brought down by a power failure and
I have got similar messages to the original poster, during the file system
check after bootup failed. I have all my files on a single partition, plus

If you really need shadow, you could conceivably edit the files

What is start-stop-daemon ?
The problem I have is that I can find absolutely no documentation
on "start-stop-daemon". There is a useless stub of a man page
that directs one to the --help output or the source code.
/sbin/start-stop-daemon is apparently a perl script, but I do
not know perl no

Solaris uses a numbering scheme based on the scsi controller, target,
