ok,
suppose to clean the log I simply add with crontab -e the line
00 02 * * * mv /var/log/mylogname /var/log/mylogbakup
will this do the job of giving me a clean mylogname (the program creates
it if its missing just fine) as when I type this at console I am asked
if I wish to overwrite the file, will i need to add a "do it no matter
what" type of parameter to the mv or will it work without it?

Only posted there, as the mailer gave me an error when I sent this, and
I wasn't sure it went out to the list, I still intend to figure this
cron thing out, as well as logrotate......... And another old 486 comes
back to life :-)
at least I know now that the posting worked, I guess i'll see if i still
get the error message this time too.

This can also be caused by having the wrong settings for CHS, or if there is
HD management software on the HD, seagate and connor drives had one that
could make the HD bigger than what could be read by some of the fdisk
programs..

We got a 13.5Km link up on wednesday, single TCP session throughput of
~2Mbit, with < 1% packet loss. SNR was 16/17dB each way.

I must ALSO say, that in the last 2 hours we have confirmed a location for
trialing this service. By the end of this month, we shall be there with a
definate answer on the reliability and quality of these connections.
We would welcome people to come along and take a look at it themselves,
before they actually go ahead with it.
Also, we would be MORE than happy to colocate a server of this list free
of charge. Community Servers and Mirrors would be encouraged, as we will
be having heaps of spare, national bandwith. International will be
slightly tight on initially but, as it all grows we won't have problems.
Quite honestly, at something like $100+GST p/mth the deal is very very
good.

Actually types of shares takes some getting used to you know user Vs
share Vs server Vs Domain based permissions and when each would be used
..... and then there's that encrypted password issue, and Swat (running
it, and where does it reside, need to be running ... etc.)

You can get NFS to work if you have the right software. There is 3rd
party stuff and MS stuff. Not that it comes with Win2k by default. The
easiest way to do filesharing from a Linux/Unix box to Windows machines
is via Samba. Why you'ld even consider NFS is beyond me.

I've not used NFS from win32 - i considered using an NFS client under
windows once, but definately not exporting from a windows box.
So, unless I magically discover another day between sunday and monday, I
cant help too much :/
The name mapping might be eaier to arrange, as there are plenty of
equivalent services. Mainly aimed at mapping NTDOM names to unix names.
Samba TNG has a winbind daemon which is supposed to do this, IIRC.
My demo's will have a LDAP directory rather than NIS, btw.
