How can you go to a particular line in a program and execute it and the
following lines? I want to jump over a loop and examine the contents of
the hash table and then move on. I know it is line number something but
the something part I can't remember.
Thanks,

Hi chix!
While we're discussing the passwd file, i have a problem. I didn't
really know another way to set my PATH automatically other than
appending it to my shell line in my passwd file, like this:
jellhead:x:100:1::/export/home/jellhead:/usr/local/bin/tcsh;setenv

You should be able to set your path in a .bashrc or .cshrc file (depending
on your shell, I suppose - I seem to have both on my linux box at home,
though we run from a .cshrc file at work).
In a .bashrc the line would be:
export PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
While a .cshr

I am indeed at a loss to tell how a firewall coul

That is all.

I understand the concept. I'm stating that there's no way you can

Hey All,
A firewall cannot tell the difference btwn a telnet connection and a smtp
connection, that I am aware of. Telnet doesn't really do anything special
beside open a connection to a particluar port (usu. 23). In addition to
that many smtp's have to be configured to allow for somewhat non-sta

The whole reason for my installing SSH on my machine is so that I can bring up
X-Windows remotely (an Xterm for example).
What do I set my display too, to get it to run through SSH?
