Re: [expert] xinitrc hacking
You should put an ampersant after every command in your .xinitrc, except after the last one. Otherwise the second command will wait untill the first one terminates and so on... The last one shouldn't have the ampersant after it, since X terminates after all commands in .xinitrc have terminated. So your .xinitrc should look like this: kbiff knetload kfm kpanel On Apr 26 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been trying to hack my xinitrc file to start a few programs when open blackbox, my fave window manager. Mandrake have written in a bunch of scripts which call various other scripts. The startx man page says: NOTE: The startx script supplied with the X11 distribution is a sample designed more as a base for customization than as a finished product. Site administrators are urged to customize it for their site. And to update this manual page when they do! But Mandrake haven't updated it. Bad Mandrake. No biscuit. Anyway, I wanted to start some applications like 'kbiff', and to run kpanel and kfm (I have installed blackbox with kde support and a patch to run various K applets in the Slit) so, first, I wrote a .xinitrc file in my home directory: kbiff knetload kfm kpanel and reran startx. This didn't work - blackbox failed to load. Second try: I added the same lines to my /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc file, just before if [ -x $HOME/.Xclients ]; then exec $HOME/.Xclients elif [ -x /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients ]; then exec /etc/X11/xinit/Xclients This didn't work either. So I erased that and tried adding the same commands to my etc/Xclients file, just before: exec $PREFERRED where $PREFERRED == blackbox Still no dice. So I removed everything. I went back to the way it was. But now startx takes about 2 minutes to start my window manager, and gives an error message: xauth: timeout locking authority file home/dash2/.Xauthority What have I done and how can I fix it? thanks in advance.

Re: [expert] Bug with server install, paranoid security set
Ah, I suspected that the paranoid secuirty changed it. Isn't it just as bad though to leave the permissions open on /usr/bin? As a normal user, you cannot even execute ls without specifiying the full pathname of the file. Thanks for the help! This machine I am installing Mdk 7 on is going to be a NFS/Matlab License server for the scientists I support. I hope Linux nfsd works well with the mixed environment we have (SunOS 4+, SunOS 5+, Tru64, Linux, FreeBSD). Also, can someone answer my question regarding my system not shutting down properly? It appears as if the system shuts down the network interface BEFORE it trys to killall, and it hangs. Some network-centric program is trying to be killed AFTER the network interface is down, and it's casing a problem. I have to reboot the system without a complete graceful shutdown, and fsck has to be run as a resutl - not good. Thanks!

Re: [expert] Backing up more than 650MB to a set of CDRW disks?
On Wed, 26 Apr 2000, you wrote: Will existing cd writers do what I ask in the "Subject:"? In theory. It's just a matter of having multiple ISO images. At least, that's MY take on it. On the "front side", how do you split gigabytes of files into multiple CDRW disks or .iso files? The *easiest* way to do this would be to make an ISO of any updated files you have (preferably in the original RPM or tar.gz format) as well as backing up the /home directory tree. You can copy certain "config files" to a backup directory under /home (things like your xf86 configs, ppp configs and other "customized" config files and then back those up on another disk. Once you have those "customized" files and your home directories backed up, keep a generic install CD around and install a clean copy of Linux as necessary and then copy your /home directory tree as well as the customized config files down off the "backup" cd onto the "/home/backup" directory. Then, reinstall all your customized apps and copy the customized config files to their correct directories. That's what *I* would suggest. Rather than backup the "standard" stuff (which you can reinstall off ANY linux cd) just back up your "personalized" data. John

Since the local internet provider's ISDN account has an unlimited access plan, this box will probably be up and online a lot of the time. Currently I use Freesco 0.25 running from a 3.5" floppy to act as a firewall/router/dialup gateway on a spare Celeron266 w/ 64MB RAM. I would like to 'upgrade' this to an full blown intranet server/firewall/gateway running on a PII 400 w/ 128MB RAM, and about 24GB of hard drive space. I hope to have this box serving DHCP, DNS, Samba, NFS, xntp, mail, news, squid, etc., and maybe X (vnc). The one thing that this box really doesn't need is multimedia ( sound, or graphics, etc). I would like to admin the box over the local network using Webmin. Now on to the main topic of this post: How the heck can I get LM 7.0 to install w/o X? I can make a boot disk for a text-mode network install, but the install program insists on adding the X Window system and KDE/Gnome, etc. I don't want/need them, so do I just have to put up w/ this and remove them after the install? Also, would I be better off doing this sort of setup w/ LM 6.1 instead? Monte __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com
[expert] empty smb passwords?
Has anybody had success getting Samba set up so that (some) ids can get in without passwords?

[expert] Easy CD burning for GUI lovers
Having read some mails about probs with CD-R and CD-RW burning and having sent one yelp for help myself (which was never answered though) I tried my luck with a GUI I read about in German pc mag c't. It's called gcombust and I found it on freshmeat. I does just what I want: Easy setup Blanking CD-RWs Writing in multisession mode without probs Working fast with my Plextor SCSI burner. I installed the rpm for RH 6.2. YOu need at least cdrecord, mkisofs and (if you want to do audio stuff) cdda2wav. For all of these I use the versions which came with MDK 7.0 wobo burning -- GPG-Fingerprint: FE5A 0891 7027 8D1B 4E3F 73C1 AD9B D732 A698 82EE For Public Key mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: GPG-Request --- ISDN4LINUX-FAQ -- Deutsch: http://www.wolf-b.de/i4l/i4lfaq-de.html
