Oh. In that case, you can probably boot into single user mode, or my favorite of passing "init=/bin/sh" to the kernel, and edit shadow. ;) The live CD or whatever is good too. > What is sync, sync, mean? "sync" is a command that suggests to the OS that it ought to flush its disk buffers out to the actual disk. A habit I picked up a while ago was to do two or three of them in a row before doing something to the system, such as rebooting, doing the ol' Stop-A/disconnect disk/go trick on the Sparc, etc. It's not normally needed, but just something I do for good measure in certain cirumstances. ;) -- Randomly Generated Tagline: Zapp: The spirit is willing but the flesh is spongey and bruised.

by Tom Misilo 22 Jul '05

22 Jul '05

Hey, I was wondering if it is at possible (and if it is for links,guides,tutorials,tips) to cross compile (create windows .exe's under linux). So I don't have to use windows and some c++ compiler there to share stuff with friends :) Thanks, Tom -- Tom Misilo AIM:Tmisilo FL MSN:tmisilo@gmail.com Jabber:tmisilo@jabber.org Skype: tmisilo IRC: irc.freenode.net nick: [mdevilz]

Not enough exposure to the Sun
by Mike Leo 18 Jul '05

18 Jul '05

I was looking to get some exposure to Solaris and Sun "stuff". Anyone have suggestions or any old, but good, Solaris equipment? I know nothing about Sun stuff, but I guess the Sparc line is there desktop/workstation line? Any info is greatly apreciated!

Follow up to tonights meeting
by Mike Leo 16 Jul '05

16 Jul '05

Howdy! We covered a few topics tonight, including this one: http://news.com.com/2008-1082_3-5065859.html?tag=lh and this one: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=141352 And more discussions about gentoo vs (insert distro here). We covered some iPod things, and maybe helped someone with a perl script. I showed off my little Dell L700 laptop and enlightenment desktop manager...very lightweight and has nice eye candy, but no icons. Lots of discussions around Intel and AMD as well...hopefully we will see that pdf regarding the lawsuit... Also, I was just slashdot'ing: Linux: Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday July 14, @06:53PM from the we-tried-to-tell dept. rm69990 writes "In a recently unsealed email in the SCO vs. IBM case, it appears that an outside consultant, hired by SCO in 2002, failed to find copyright violations in the Linux Kernel. This was right around the time Darl McBride, who has before been hired by litigious companies as CEO, was hired. It appears that before SCO even began its investigation, they were hoping to find a smoking gun, not believing that Linux could possibly not contain Unix code. Apparently, they ignored the advice of this consultant." I guess thats about it! ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs
