2001-11-21 Thread Justin Hahn
This problem is pretty common with any kind of networking information system. Generally this occurrs when trying to do a name service lookup on a numerical ID to find the username which corresponds to it and not getting an answer back. This sort of thing can happen if: 1) /etc/passwd is modified t

RE: booting is very difficult

2001-11-16 Thread Justin Hahn
This generally means that lilo is failing to load the second stage (or was it first stage?) bootloader. Very commonly this happens if you change the device ordering and your boot device is not the same as it was before. You basically need to re-lilo the drive with the correct info. > -Original

RE: What's with the bounces from sprintpcs.com?

2001-11-13 Thread Justin Hahn
Someone has forwarded all of their mail to their sprint PCS cell phone. Try calling them at 831-325-9666 and telling them that they are bouncing mail. Personally I think you'd have to be crazy to forward your email to your cellphone (ESPECIALLY a high volume list like this...) but, maybe I'm miss

Umm.. If the 2 machines share identical user databases NFS is just fine for this. However, if you're looking for a tar-based or other way to do this, I'd recommend one of the following: (both REQUIRE ssh with root logins allowed for your permissions requirements)   1) rsync over ssh. Make s

RE: Dell 2550 wont install network card

2001-10-15 Thread Justin Hahn
IIRC, the 2550 is a slightly modified 2450, which means those are eepro cards. I don't have linux on any of our 2550s, but try the eepro100.o module. That should just magically work. --jeh > -Original Message- > From: Paulo Henrique Baptista de Oliveira > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent:
