Hey all :)

I finally got around to installing FreeBSD 4.4, which considering it's my first attempt with *nix, didn't go too badly. I've managed to configure X and everything else, but I've got a...

Hehe, thanks mate! Last thing I wanna do is to bug anyone with stupid questions lol. Gives me an excuse to sharpen up with Perl too ;)

Thanks for the speedy response. The reason I asked is because I'm so used to seeing passwords without slashes in them.

I hope you guys don't mind, but I might have a lot of questions soon. I'll...

Hi everyone! :)

I've been asked to write an article breaking down the basics of UNIX password information etc., and I've come across something in which I cannot find a definition for within...

Thanks mate, it was -2. It's just that every article I've read states that the UID/GID must be a non-negative number so it completely threw me when I saw it!

Thanks for the reply :)

Just as the subject asks :) Thanks!

Hi guys, thanks for the continued support. I can't tell you how much that means :)

Firstly, the whoami returns the following:

I have no idea what that is, and secondly, all echo...

Thanks for the replies everyone, it looks like I'm at a dead end. I'll post back if I find the answer! Thank you all so very very much!

lol, nope it's definitely a csh :) I wish it was DOS, I wouldn't have a problem with that! The most irritating thing for me is that I can't use any scripting at all and I've got no idea how...

Thanks again, but still no joy :(

These are the commands I've found to be active so far:

cat filename (no switches.)
echo (printing $input but not its contents to the shell.)
finger username...

:( eval didn't work :(

hi mate :)

I've run "which echo" but it comes up with nothing. It's just a simulation, there are no marks for this or anything like that. It's more of a "test project" to see if linux newbies...

hi mate,

Thanks for the reply. I'm sorry I've been so vague with every question I've asked but I've kind of been set a 'Linux Challenge', and although I'm allowed to ask for help, I can't be...

Hi guys :)

I'm having a slight problem. Every time I run the StartX command from my csh, it just says cannot access terminal. Can anyone tell me why this is and what it means?

Thank you :)

Thank you guys!

Sorry I didn't reply sooner I had a few connection problems lol. (kicks his box.)

Thanks again! :)

Hi guys,

That was what I was looking for, thank you very much. :) It's brought up one other question I have though, from the passwd file, the lines output in a way like this:

Hi :)

I just wanted to ask a few basic questions really. I'm telnetting to a remote host and I've finally found out that I'm using a csh shell.

My questions are:

1. Is the...

Hi mate,

Thanks for the reply :) All I was told was to telnet to the server and it automatically logs you in as Guest. Then from there I have to change to my username (which is hellz.) but I...

Hi all :)

I hope someone can help me with this and I hope my explanation sounds right :) I'm telnetting to a free shell account and I've been told that I need to change user from guest to the...
