When using the -z and -B65536 options together, sometimes there is file corruption. Client and server are both compiled against zlib 1.1.4, so the gzip corruption shouldn't be there, right? With -z and -B32768 there is an error, but it is detected in a different way. With -B65536 and without -z all seems to be going OK. With -B16384 and with -z all seems to be going OK. I'm guessing

The background: I host one of the unofficial slackware mirrors & push to a high speed (unlisted) mirror that several other unofficials use for pulls. To save time/disk/bandwidth I use a custom script to hardlink the trees prior to pushing the updates to said unlisted mirror. The commandline (linewrap from hell, sorry): (note: username/password/hostname/modulename deliberately obfuscated)

Does anyone use slackware with samba? And if so, are they able to produce 'log.nmbd' files? I can't. But I can do this just fine with RH8.0. By the way - my version of Slackware is 8.1 -- T.L.Gervais Coldbrook, NS Canada.

It would appear something snuck in that breaks non-recursive remote listings when talking to a non-3.0.0pre1 version of rsync. The symptom itself is simple enough to see; rather than displaying member directories/regular files/symlinks/etc as one would expect, only non-directories (with the exception of '.') are listed. Other tidbits.. some obvious, some maybe not: - not limited to just

Hi Pino, Thanks for your reply and details. I started looking at the others package manager code and as I see it there is one main problem to port supermin to slackware distro. Slackware builtin package management tools (pkgtool and slackpkg) do not manage package dependencies. There is no easy solution to solve this problem. There are third party packet manager which manage dependencies but

Hello. I've tried to install openssh to my Linux Slackware boxes, but it works only for connecting to other hosts. The bug is in the auth-passwd.c of pppd. Slackware has it's own (or just an another) version of shadow package (if I've understood the problem correctly) with it's own password encryption manner. I do not use stuff like Kerberos, PAM etc. As a result, the line

I'm running a Slackware 7-based Linux distribution. I had a problem using openssh 2.3.0p1. Slackware 7 uses shadow passwords. Openssh picks up the shadow password information correctly but doesn't encrypt the incoming password properly so all password authentication fails. The problem is that sshd *must* be compiled with the link flag '-lcrypt' which includes libcrypt with the

I've toyed with various options in an attempt to get an 'ls -l' style output, but to no avail. As I have a small handful of scripts that rely on this no-longer-functioning functionality, this could be considered a Bad Thing(TM). Following is an example of
