What Scanner to buy?
by vma＠softhome.net 19 Jul '02

19 Jul '02

Hi! The school I work for is planning to buy a scanner that works on Debian (planning to use either potato 2.2r6 or Woody) Can people mail me a list of scanner models they have successfully been able to install on their GNU/Linux machines? We are thinking of buying a canon 640P. Any input on this? BTW, I have been to the SANE website and have the compatibility list. Samsung claims that ML1450 would work on Linux. Has anyone been able to make it work in Debian? BTW, I couldn't see this printer listed in www.linuxprinting.org. Any suggestions as to what Laser Printer would be most ideal to have in the price range of upto Rs. 22,000? Vikas.

hi linuxers, I am doing natting using ipchains on linux box. the problem i that i am continuosly getting error messages like " Neighbour table overflow " on /var/log/messages. It seems that my arp table is getting overflowed due to the load. I tried the man page of arp command and there is no option to directly delete all the enteries of the arp table. Or is there any other solution ? regards, funky. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Autos - Get free new car price quotes http://autos.yahoo.com

LDAP Replication
by Himanshu Shukla 19 Jul '02

19 Jul '02

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I am trying to do LDAP replication across some 10-20 machines. I have been half way successful in the same. That is, if I add a new record to the Master, it gets replicated instantaneously across the slaves. What I need to figure out is the other way round - When I add a new record to the slave, how does the Master know abt it (which would then send the record to the other slaves). I am using OpenLDAP-2.0.21, on RedHat 7.2, kernel 2.4.7. Any pointers? - -- Regards, Himanshu | Cybertech Networks Pvt.

I think 'nice' should be sufficient. IMHO Limiting processor usage (to %x on processor y) doesn't make sense because when there is heavy load on the server, any reasonable value of x will be larger than that the kernel will assign anyway, and during light load you'll be wasting CPU time. If you "nice" the processes enough the scheduler will make sure that higher priority processes (like DNS etc.) will get all the time they need.
