moin, moin, passing this on for Mark. His mail comes through as multi-part, which isn't bad, e.g. plain text is included as well. If an MUA can't handle that properly, it's the MUA's prob, not Mark's :). It just sucks to effectively send out two copies to everyone on the list. ciao, der.hans -- # der.hans@LuftHans.com home.pages.de/~lufthans/ www.Opnix.com # If you're not learning, you're not living. - der.hans ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2000 13:32:22 -0700 From: Mark Peoples To: "'asulug@lufthans.com'" Subject: to plug please Hi Hans, Until IT fixes the fubar they did that translates my email from plain-text to HTML, I'm not sending anything to PLUG or ASULUG (it's happening to my boss's e-mail too now). Anyways, can you pass this on to PLUG to see if anyone has any ideas? I have a RH6.2 laptop. When it is at nasa, it uses a static ip setup, but when it is here at asu, it uses DHCP. I have some scripts written for another laptop that runs RH6.1 that work perfectly, but there seems to be something broken or changed in RH6.2 that prevents my scripts from working properly. Essentially, this is what the scripts do. When the laptop is at nasa, root types 'sh /root/atnasa' and the network conf files are copied over to the right places (eg, ifcfg-eth0, resolv.conf, etc etc...), and the nic (3com pc card) is brought up. When the laptop is at asu, root types 'sh /root/atasu' and the process repeats itself, but copying over different conf files. On the RH6.1 laptop, this works beautifully, but RH6.2 is sucking goat because it puts a '?' after each file name that the scripts copy over. I've tried having the scripts remove the 'old' conf files, but, even with them gone, RH6.2 still puts the '?' at the end of the filename. If I try the same commands from the scripts from the cli, eg, copy/paste/enter, they work fine on RH6.2. Any ideas? Thanks Hans, Marco PS - Chances are you're reading this in HTML, even though I'm composing in plain text, and I sent it in plain text. Sorry about that.
