It probably has something to do with that recent M$ virus [Blaster?]. I believe that it was using ports 135 and 137 to spread. -- matthew rice <matt-s/rLXaiAEBtBDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org> starnix inc. phone: 905-771-0017 x242 thornhill, ontario, canada http://www.starnix.com professional linux services & products -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

man window of text to terminal
by lloyd-fEEwcc3XMu8jODpR/OX0VQ＠public.gmane.org 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

Hi all, Is there an easy way (ctrl-<n>) to have the displayed "window" of 'man' to be dumped to the terminal. eg. $ man man [ctrl+d] [ctrl+d] OPTIONS -C config_file Specify the configuration file to use; the default is /etc/man.conf. (See man.conf(5).) . .. ... .. . -a By default, man will exit after displaying the first manual page it finds. Using this option forces man to display all the manual pages that match name, not just the first. $ Does what I am thinking of make sense? Is there another way?

I connect /dev/modem -> /dev/ttyS0 and try my chat file to no avail. I have no response when I send "ATZ (OK) ATDT 4165551212". I should add that the macos has no trouble with ppp dialout. The setserial (+ manpage) does not recognize "z8530" or "8530" as valid entries to UART. I should add that my machine is a powermac 750/267mHz/OldWorld machine if anyone thinks it would be useful administrivia. TIA, max. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.

update on + ?: /etc/apache/httpd.conf + Re:/etc/hosts

Hi Fraser/Maddison, Thanks for your answers. I had had two ip entries in my /etc/hosts file on my local subnet machine. While resolveip worked fine, ping did not; the second/aliased address returned "Network unreachable". I then went with Fraser's suggestion, appended below, in which he suggests that aliases all be grouped together on the same /etc/hosts line. That worked, which allowed me to test multiple apache httpd virtual host addresses. I want to note this because the documentation at httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/vhosts does not mention this at all. Does this make sense to linux, or have I crossed wires unwittingly? (vhosts + /etc/hosts) cheers, max.
