Anybody in /etc/passwd is logically a user, but in general ftp, mail, daemon, bin etc are system users, used by daemons(background processes, run ps aux) I dont have any idea about purpose of halt and shutdown users. Try man halt or man shutdown. >Can I halt without logging in ? You cant halt/reboot unless you login as root(superuser). You can however reboot by pressing ctrl-alt-del on local terminals OR switching the computer off ;-). Amish.

Query re regex
by Dr . Sharukh K . R . Pavri . 06 Apr '02

06 Apr '02

Hi Philip, I downloaded your lecture on regex from the ACM website. I have a query; I am a bit confused with the following lines from your examples. [A-Z^] - match anything from A-Z or ^ [-A-Z] - match anything from A-Z or- [+-*/] - match anything from + to * and / [-+*/] - match - + * / Does the first line mean match anything from A to Z or A to ^ ? or does it mean match anything from A to Z or match ^ ? similarly if you could also explain the other three lines please. I am writing to the list so tha teveryone can benefit from the answer. Thanks, Sharukh. -- Dr. Sharukh K. R. Pavri. Mumbai, India.

Internet Connection Settings.
by Michael Rodrigues 05 Apr '02

05 Apr '02

Hi, I recently took a new internet connection from my local cable operator.He has configured Win98 and set up the gateway as a proxy server too. I tried setting up my Slack 8 box with the same settings as in Win98 (ip add,netmask etc), but I keep gettting the same error: SIOADDRT:Network unreachable. How does one configure linux to use a proxy server at boot time? Am I missing something really obvious out here? Could someone please point me in the right dircetion? Regards, Michael.
