Date: Mon, 27 May 1996 00:12:10 GMT Organization: NBNet.nb.ca Lines: 21 Message-ID: <4oarsr$kq4@agate.nbnet.nb.ca> NNTP-Posting-Host: mctnts01c50.nbnet.nb.ca X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.0.82 Im a unix administrator for this company and we have been using Linux for about 2 years now, and they decided to make my job a bitch and they gave me BSDI to work with. Now, in linux we have color-ls which is a directory coloring system (red filenames for compressed files, blue for symlinks etc).. Is there any way to do this in BSDI? My next question.. When I run ppp Palways, it connects, grabs my IP addresses and then it keeps saying "packets truncated" over and over and never stops until I kill the modem. What I figure is that my init string is wrong, well thanks to BSDI for the 80 page manual that tells you peanuts about this kind of stuff.. Now, where do you set the init string?! Also, in /etc/ppp.sys that applies for the whole system, how does each user get their own settings for dialout.. Anyway, thanks to anyone who can help.. Im new to this and its really different from Linux (well, not totally. :)) Lance
