You will need a way to resolve names to IP's. I use a FreeBSD machine with named running, then dhcpd that has the mac addresses of the specific machines, and gives them specific IP's. My DNS server resolves the names. You can use /etc/hosts as well.

With mine, I have to use IE in order for it to work. The AP has some asp scripts, and I know they should work with everything, they dont.

I am selling my G3 Wallstreet laptop. I used it for testing, and it has NetBSD 1.6.2 installed. It works great. The screen is great, bright, and clear. It does have the CD-ROM. 233Mhz, 192 Mb RAM, 2 Gig HD. I am looking for $150 + shipping OBO. Bob bob@bpfx.org

The nightly/weekly/monthly jobs are in /etc/periodic Daily: Logs are rotated files in /var/rwho are removed files in /tmp are removed if they are over 3 days old amount of time each user has been logged in is reported NetInfo is backed up The disk info is listed various infomation...

I dont use slackware, but if you can get a listing of existing packages, then run that through your script: for x in `get_package_list` do slackpkg upgrade $x done Just make sure that you are not upgrading redundantly. FWIW, on FreeBSD, to upgrade everything: portupgrade -ary...

You can, it involves using tftp and dhcpd. The only network Solaris installs I have done involve jump start.

Why not FreeBSD, or OpenBSD? Why linux? And, why are you going to put X11 on a server?

Ok, I thought you were using 2.2+. It is goign to take some hacking to get it to build. If you really want to get it to build, let me know, and I will get more in depth with it. I might just do it for fun anyway. Always liked challanges.

When you shutdown, you are automatically logged out, you have to log in upon reboot. Every system I have worked on is the same way.

It eats the upload on the sender, and download on the recipent. The total connection speed is the lowest speed of connection. If the sender is 56k, and receiver is 256K, then the speed is <56k, due to network latency, and other factors. If the sender is 1.5M, and the receiver is 256K, then...

I am confused. If you have a password, it will require you to enter that password, as part of the security. It's acting just like it should.

See if your admins would look in thier logs. Maybe something might turn up.

The command uptime. The extra space, I am going to say is from clearing out /tmp All my machines are setup to delete the contents of /tmp upon reboot.

You have a limited amount of RAM in your machine. Each process thinks it owns the entire machine, it has all the processor avalible, and it has infinite RAM. In order to do this, the OS has a swap system. When something is put into RAM, it is placed into a 'page' in RAM. When a page is not...

Try changing the authentication type. Try MD5 challenge-response. I have similar problems on my server, Mac/FreeBSD/Real OS's authentication works fine, but Windows craps on it, aint too worried bout that. Also try using port 25, adding/removing SSL, etc.

As a UNIX admin, I want to go, but as a college student as well, I dont have the funds to go. Would be nice though.

Ok found the problem, I think: Invalid configuration `powerpc-apple-darwin7.5.0': system `darwin7.5.0' not recognized That is an error that is from config.sub. darwin7.5.0 should actually be outputed as -darwin7.5.0 So, to fix this: Edit the file config.sub: Line 128 should be...

Personally, I have some interest in an XServe. A desktop machine is just that, a desktop machine. If you want a server, then you need to use server hardware. I have used desktop hardware, such as network cards, hard drive controllers, and such, in servers before, and am currently using some...

I just noticed something else, you put '--host=powerpc-apple-darwin7.5.0', try '--host=powerpc-apple-darwin7.6.0' Just to make sure, do the following: % uname -a Mine gives: [bob@Freebird] ~%uname -a Darwin Freebird.local 7.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 7.6.0: Sun Oct 10 12:05:27 PDT...

Ok, look for a file called config.log, in that file, find the part that talks about the error that you are getting. Post that section, post ~5 lines above and below that part, just to make sure you get it all.
