hi everyone, as the Mumbai university has interoduced a subject called unix in C in the first year of engineering, our college ( Fr CRCE bandra) has got new computers (probably PIII with miles of disk space and ample of ram) which would be networked. now in the first year... there are 5 branches & 60 students per branch. disk space has to be alloted to these students... for their work. what would be the most efficient way of doing that ... -please suggest -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rahul Saxena: rahul"AT"inorg.org Fr.

Most importantly, you have to do some calculations regarding how much space to be alloted to each user. 5 branches and 60 per branch i.e max 350 users including misc. accounts. Thats not much. Partition /home and keep the max space on this partition so that future need may also suffice.

Synchronising system time
by Manish Jethani 24 Sep '01

I want to synchronise my system time with any external source each time it boots. I've heard of ntp and stuff but I don't really have any clues. Would appreciate if I get some quick help here. Thanks. Manish J. -- Objects are lost only because people look where they are not rather than where they are.

RX and TX. Is there any other way to find it out? How precise are the values reported? Thanks Amish.
