RE: [expert] FTP access to other folder
Hi, The FTP server does a 'chroot' to the default FTP directory, for security reasons. The idea is not to let an ftp client roam over your entire disk. 'chroot' changes the root directory of the process, so that anything out of the /home/ftp is effectively invisible. Your options are: A. change the root directory of the ftp service (via the '-r' option - see man ftpd) B. move /home/abc to /home/ftp/abc, and symlink from /home to /home/ftp/abc I'd go with B.

I know that one option is to move /home/abc to /home/ftp/abc, but this will be my last resort. I tried creating a symbolic link: [root@linux /ftp]#ln -s /home/abc abc However, when I try to access the folder with an FTP client, I get the error message: Requested action not taken (e.g., file or directory not found, no access). Is it possible to give access both to the current folder in /home/ftp and to /home/abc? Else, how can I change the default folder which the FTP server accesses? Thanks for your help.

[expert] Frontpage 2002 extensions on Mandrake 8.1
Does anybody know where it is documented on how to install Frontpage extensions 2002 on Mandrake 8.1? Because Mandrake does some customization already to Apache, it's not clear about the mod_frontpage and the extensions (which want to replace Apache 1.3.20 with 1.3.19) - and it screws things up . . .

If you're using LILO in graphical boot mode, select Linux failsafe. At the prompt, select standalone/maintenance (this is from memory, I can't really check now! :^)), and at the prompt, type chkconfig portmap off. Then, type init 5 (or whatever your default runlevel is) and the system should boot as normal. Note, you might also have to chkconfig off processes associated with portmap that will now be dying because portmap isn't running, i.e., nfs, nis(yp), etc. If you're using LILO in text boot mode, type linux 1 at the LILO: prompt. Once you've got a #, proceed with using chkconfig to turn off unwanted services. Look in /etc/rcX.d (X=your default runlevel) for files starting with Sxx, then using the chkconfig command in the format above, use only the word after Sxx. -- Mitch Thompson, San Antonio TX Key fingerprint = BBDA 3A2A 4483 BD0D 7CED B8A9 D183 C8F6 B0AF 66AE -- Steve Balmer, CEO of Microsoft®, recently referred to Linux as a cancer.

RE: [expert] Mandrake-Linux 8.1 installation problem
Actually it quite often does fail. I installed with a serial mouse and then changed to a usb mouse when the system went into use. It was a couple of frustrated reboots before the hardware realised that the serial mouse had gone and removed it and then on the next boot it found the usb mouse. Could run harddrake/kudzu any number of times manually and it would find the usb mouse, but not do anything about it. Another possibility is changing a serial mouse for a modem on the same comport - the hardware detection does not realise the device has changed, so status quo. It would be handy if the hardware detection allowed you to manually tell it something had changed, but this does not seem to be available.

Obviously telnetting to localhost doesn't work... you removed the telnet client! The telnet *server* doesn't include the telnet *client*... that's what telnet-client package is for (which you tried so hard to remove for some reason). Try re-installing... then you will get a program called telnet on your system and bash won't give you the command not found error (which should have been your first clue that telnet wasn't installed). in.telnetd is not the same as telnet.

It would be like installing openssh-server on the system and then installing openssh-client. Does the client have anything to do with the server? Not really... it just talks to it. Doesn't have anything to do with the server running.

[expert] Kernel update for LM 8.0
Hello, I have a webserver and a desktop machine both running LM 8.0. I've been reading about some of the kernel problems before 2.4.12, and I'm thinking about upgrading. I recently tried to build the 2.4.13 kernel on my desktop machine, and when I rebooted a number of services (such as Apache) no longer worked. I'm sure I can make this work eventually, but the problem is this: My server is off-site, and I have no direct physical access to it. If the new kernel doesn't boot cleanly, it could be a matter of days before I get the machine and can test and fix it. The server is running the stock 2.4.7-12 kernel, and at one point when I was configuring it, I had problems with the IDE drivers for the High Point 370 chipset. The stock kernel was fine, so I stayed with that. My question is whether there is a reasonably safe way to remotely upgrade to a newer kernel, perhaps via an RPM, or should I stick with the ways things are? Any advice is appreciated.

Re: [expert] Strange behaviour of 8.1
this happened to me once, delete all the stuff in the /tmp directory that has your name in it, like kde-username socket-username and then killall -9 kdeinit, restart X and relogin, that worked for me on getting konqueror to run On Tuesday 30 October 2001 10:55 pm, you wrote: Hi, I upgraded my home machine (Intel 810 board, 128M RAM, Celeron Processor) from Mandrake 8.0 to 8.1 last night.

RE: [expert] Strange behaviour of 8.1
Hi Mark, Well well, I think that is the problem because when I tried running from an xterm by tying konqueror it said something to the effect cannot find user name for ID 501... Thanks for pointing this out, hope someone points out what is going on with the performance issues related to prelinking etc. Arnab -- From: Mark D'voo[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Reply To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, October 31, 2001 10:33 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] Strange behaviour of 8.1 File: message.footer.txt this happened to me once, delete all the stuff in the /tmp directory that has your name in it, like kde-username socket-username and then killall -9 kdeinit, restart X and relogin, that worked for me on getting konqueror to run On Tuesday 30 October 2001 10:55 pm, you wrote: Hi, I upgraded my home machine (Intel 810 board, 128M RAM, Celeron Processor) from Mandrake 8.0 to 8.1 last night.

RE: [expert] [OT] PRoblem with MandrakeStore
Thats strange, I ordered Powerpack 8.1 about 5 or 6 weeks ago, two weeks ago I received a 2 CD download edition and a note saying that my 7CD powerpack would be on its way as soon as the boxed sets were ready.. I was really surprised by that, it was very nice of them to give me somthing to tide me over in the meantime.. The download CD's they sent me work fine and I am using them for testing 8.1 before the powerpack gets here and I start moving this over to the servers.. I would be surprised if the CD's don't arrive here in the next week goin by the time that the First CD's took. I thougth it was a rather polished setup... maybe there is shipping problems with their international couriers.. Some strange stuff has happened world wide that could be slowing things down for you... rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Bill Thompson Sent: Wednesday, 31 October 2001 10:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] [OT] PRoblem with MandrakeStore [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, I am sorry to have to post this email to this mailing list, but it is the only Mandrake list I subscribe to.

They claim it was shipped 8 Oct and my credit card has been charged. No reponse on my last enquiry. Until this order, I had always ordered from Cheapbytes.

[expert] Strange behaviour of 8.1
Hi, I upgraded my home machine (Intel 810 board, 128M RAM, Celeron Processor) from Mandrake 8.0 to 8.1 last night. I used the download edition for this upgrade.
