My RH9 machine is stuck behind WinGate on a Windows 98 box that interfaces with a StarBand dish. I've configured Mozilla and gFTP for the proxy, but some of my web software (gAIM, Red Carpet, Up2Date, etc.) don't appear to have a proxy interface. When I leave this site, I'll have to change the s

Compupic segfaults under Redhat 9

2003-06-04 Thread Alan
Any ideas why CompuPic segfaults under Redhat 9? It worked under Redhat 8. I suspect the nptl library, but I am not certain as the app is statically linked. I have strace logs of both running and not running versions, but have not done any in depth analysis yet. -- Alan <[EMAIL PROTEC

I recently upgraded to Red Hat 9 from 7.3. From the System Settings | Server Settings | Samba Server menu, I tried to look at my settings through redhat-config-samba, but it would crash. The solution was to rename (never delete) /etc/samba/smb.conf and to use redhat-config-samba to create a new o

I've been satisfied with Quanta. The version that I ran when I had a RH 7.2 box left a lot to be desired, but the one that came with RH9 is much improved. Whether you can run the latest version on your 7.2 box remains to be seen... Best, Alan > On Wed, 2003-05-28 at 18:52, John N. Aleg
