[expert] newbie help with iptables
Hello all I'm new to iptables, (and no hotshot with Linux, either), so I'm hoping someone can point me in a good direction for some docs on iptables basics - I just need to get it to accept tcp packets from port 6000, and I don't know the necessary voodoo.

[expert] ifconfig help - setting up a VPN
Hello all, I'm trying to set up a VPN so I can connect to work from home. I ran the Cisco 3.51 VPN software, and it created this interface, call it someipsec0. There's no docs, so I'm guessing that I need to run ifconfig on it to bring it up, maybe like: /sbin/ifconfig someipsec0 192.168.0.3 pointopoint 10.190.xx.xxx except that doesn't work. I'm not even sure about ppp, that was a guess, too. Anyone had any experience with Cisco's VPN, or have any ifconfig voodoo that might help?

[expert] Upgrading Mozilla problems
Hello all On a stock install of LM8.1, I'm trying to upgrade the .9.4 Mozilla with the .9.7 Mozilla Mandrake .rpm from rpmfind. I did an rpm -Uvh --test mozilla(etc) and got failed dependencies for libnspr4 = 0.9.7 is needed by mozilla-0.9.7-4.1.mdk libnss3 = 0.9.7 is needed by mozilla-0.9.7-4.1.mdk and then a couple more dependencies about mozilla mail and mozilla irc. I'm not sure what it wants - I have libnspr4 and libnss3. I tried to upgrade to Mozilla 0.9.8, but got the same errors, which was why I thought I'd try .9.7. When I try --nodeps, it says file /usr/lib/libnssckbi.so from install of mozilla-0.9.7-4.1.mdk conflicts with file from package libnss3-3.2.1-6mdk I don't even want Mozilla, I'm actually trying to upgrade galeon, but it wants Mozilla, so I'm caught in this nasty web.

RE: [expert] A Modern, Low Resources Linux Distribution and All t he Real Reasons Why We Need It
I'd like to see the RULE concept as an option when you do an install of Mandrake - do you want the RULE install, or do you want the xyz install, and then customize from there.

[expert] Anyone have any luck getting Tomcat to work with LM8.1 + Apache?
Hello all, I'm hoping someone can point me to a link that has a how-to, or a step-by-step that will get Tomcat working with Apache on a stock install of LM 8.1. I've been to a bunch of sites, followed plenty of documentation, but it just wouldn't work. So, rather than ask if someone can explain a bizarre error message, I'll hope someone has found documentation that did work, and then I'll go from there. Thanks for any help Edmund Links that professed to get the two working together but didn't under LM8.1: http://dcb.sun.com/practices/howtos/tomcat_apache.jsp http://www.linux.com/enhance/newsitem.phtml?sid=1&aid=11992 http://www.galatea.com/flashguides/apache-tomcat-4-unix.xml Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [expert] MySQL/SQL question
Hi Thomas,
You don't need to put your column or table names into the INSERT statement.
Just put the values in the same order as the columns.
So, if your papers table has the columns author_id and title, then type:
INSERT INTO papers VALUES(42, 'Mu Mesons and Quark Emissions');
Then, to select all papers with an author_id of 42, just type:
SELECT * FROM papers WHERE author_id = 42;
It looks like you're very close. Remember, anything in quotes is case
sensitive.
There is some good docs included with the Mandrake MySQL, I access them
through Webmin, but they're also on the MySQL website.
HTH

RE: [expert] Mozilla & Java
Here is some collected wisdom that was given to me to get Java working in Mozilla by Isaac, so I'll pass it along to you. I haven't organized it well, but all the info should be there. HTH Edmund 1st, install the jdk/jre, then: youre gonna want the fully qualified file name for the symlink ie: ln -s /usr/jre1.3.1/plugins/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/local/mozilla0.9.3/mozilla/plugins both the file to be linked and the folder its going to need to be fully qualified Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > > As for your email, the command line solution can be found on page 98 of > Running > Linux (Welsh, Dalheimer and Kaufman - O'Reilly & Associates) and on page > 219 of > Linux in a Nutshell (Siever, Spainhour, Figgins and Hekman - O'Reilly). > If you > don't already have both books I STRONGLY recommend picking them up.

RE: [expert] blackbox mouse
This is probably better posted to the Blackbox list at:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
after searching in their archive at:
www.mail-archive.com
but to save the trouble here's a couple of ways:
Use xset like in
[submenu] (Mouse) {}
[exec] (Fast) {xset m 7 10}
[exec] (Normal) {xset m 3 6}
[exec] (Default) {xset m default}
[exec] (Slow) {xset m 0 10}
[end]
or, even easier, :
I use a simple line in my /etc/X11/XF86Config file (I think you need X
version
4.1.0, and double check me - it might have been the XF86Config-4 file, but
you'll
know right away, only one of those files has the syntax Option"xxx"
"value"
It's in the mouse pointer section.
Option"Resolution""200"
