Okay its been awhile since I asked questions so you get 3 for the price of one.

1. I am trying to run a MUD on my RH7.0 but my primary coder cannot log in remotely to the system (not the mud) I assume that SSH is loaded on bootup and if not
a. How do I get it up and running
b. How do I tell rh that I want it up and running?

2. Does anyone know where the file named gethostbyname comes from? I am trying to setup setiathome and it cannot find that file or directory? Is anyone out there running setiathome and if so what am I doing wrong.

3. How come in RH7.0 it only shows 64 megs of my 128 megs of ram in the sysinfo display.

BTW running RH7.0
Kernel 2.2.X.X
Athalon 900
128 megs of ram
DSL

Thanks,
Rastar

As far as the SSH goes, I assume you just type "SSH" at the command prompt. If this doesn't work, then I guess it's not installed (these are just guesses). It's probably available via an RPM or something like that. Check out http://rpmfind.net/ .
Gethostbyname I believe is a setiathome function. Not totally sure. My setiathome started up just fine as soon as I typed ./setiathome so I can't help you there :(
For some strange reason RH isn't detecting the other 64 megs of ram. Try adding "mem=128" in your /etc/lilo.conf file under the name of the image you want to boot. eg image=/boot/vmlinuz
mem=128
Either that, or when you're at the lilo prompt, type "linux mem=128". I know that there are a few posts on this so a forum search would do you good.

And the answer is also in the FAQ's right here at LNO.
