Dr. Dobb’s Journal in its Linux and open source section is running an article by Emmett Dulaney with 50 Perl questions and answers. The focus is mainly on the knowledge of the language itself with questions like:

No, generally speaking. But if you can contribute something useful as a volunteer that requires shell access to do it, please ask. See similar questions...

Check your current disk space usage; you may be over your quota (See #2 above on how to check your current disk space usage) If you continue to have problems; please contact the support desk at (330) 972-6888 or consult@uakron.edu See similar questions...

First, this is a religious issue if there ever was one, for Unix users. The most popular shells (in no particular order) are the Bourne shell (sh), the Korn shell (ksh), the C shell (csh), the T shell tcsh. There are certainly are intelligent folks that use, and are proponents of, each shell out there. The Korn shell is available with nearly every Unix. It was written by David Korn of AT&T Bell Labs and has been provided with all System V-derived Unix systems since at least the late '80s. See similar questions...

I have noticed that Linux TNOS when compared to Dos TNOS, on the same specification hardware will perform faster. Running TNOS under Unix will allow yourself and your users to take advantage of several Linux/unix services, such as ftp, smtp, telnet, httpd, online muti-user games etc. Using TNOS under Unix you will not run into any memory restictions such as you would with the Dos version. You have no need to worry about what options you compile into your version of TNOS i.e. how large it is. See similar questions...

On Solaris, Java Advanced Imaging complains about lack of access to an X server. This is a manifestation of a JDK bug in which creation of the AWT Toolkit class results in an attempt to open the X display. To work around this problem, either make an X display available to the Java runtime using the DISPLAY environment variable (no windows will appear on the display), or consider running a dummy X server that will satisfy the AWT, such as the Xvfb utility included with the X11R6.4 distribution.

Note that you could always ssh to fox and then run pine directly on fox. This has the advantage of making all the mail operations fast but doesn't work so well in handling attachments (e.g., MS Word documents). Also, if you have a slow connection (e.g., modem), you wouldn't want to use the viewers (e.g., gv or xv) on fox but instead use local viewers (it still will be slow if the attachment is large!). To have Pine access your mail on Unix we'll use imap. See similar questions...

Thanks to our carefully developed web based Control Panel and e-mail management system managing your server is as easy as one mouse click. That said, there is even greater flexibility to be had by accessing your server directly on the command shell via SSH and a basic knowledge in Linux or any Unix variant will enhance the Dolphin experience further. We offer training courses for just this purpose, through Positive Skills. See similar questions...

Yes, after installing a telnet daemon on the Windows machine. But, remember each copy of Toolkit is licensed to one machine. If you install it on a server, you must still purchase one license for each client machine. See similar questions...

For example, the Unix shell from the MKS-toolkit. Do you have the SHELL environment set to point to this shell? You can try resetting the SHELL environment variable. If you are using a Unix shell on MS-Windows, you should try to use exuberant ctags that is compiled for Unix-like environments so that exuberant ctags will understand path names with forward slash characters.

Send the command "SHOW LICENSE" to LISTSERV. The last item on the response from LISTSERV is "Build date" -- this should be 26 Feb 1999 or later. If the build date reported by LISTSERV is earlier than this (even if it is reporting to be 1.8d) you should install the latest build. See similar questions...

In the WINLSCP program, pull down the Show menu and select "Version & License". Alternatively, you can use the command line "LSCP SHOW VERSION". The version reported should be 1.1b and the date should be Feb 23 1999 or later. See similar questions...

From the console of your VM login, issue the command "TELL MAILER SHOW VERSION" (this assumes that LMail is running under the MAILER account; if it is not, then issue the command to the user account LMail is running under). The response includes a line indicating the version number. If you are running a Y2K compliant version of LMail, this version number will be 1.2d or later. See similar questions...

When I connect to the VPN I get a message saying my password is recognised but I am not authorized for dialup access. When I enter my login name and password I get the message "Error 800: Unable to establish the VPN connection ...".

The easiest way is to connect to the Web Admin interface. You may also wish to examine the servicelog.txt file in the “Logs” folder of the Phantom install. The first thing you should check for is a file in the c:\ directory of your computer called “PhantomServiceQuit.txt”. The contents of that file should give you a good idea of what caused the service to quit. If there is no “PhantomServiceQuit. See similar questions...

Does it matter if my password is longer than 8 characters? I heard there is a problem if your password is too long. The first time I try to use the system after setting up a local secure area and all of my config files, I get an error about invalid argument for the user ticket database in the error log, and I can't log in.
