[Cooker] Where does diskdrake --fileshare store the config data ?
Still related to my nfs problem, I would like to know where diskdrake saves its configuration. When you open diskdrake --filshare for the first time, it asks what you want to use to share folders : nfs, smb or both. Unfortunately, this choice is asked only once, and I did not find a way to change it afterwards, which is annoying (and illogical : one should be able to change it again even after the first time). What file is used by diskdrake to store this setting ? How does that choice changes the other configuration files ? Could it be changed in diskdrake interface please ? Thanks Eric

So I just have to erase it to reset diskdrake ? I shall try it. Thank you Eric

Note: We, the authors of laptopkernel, did not write those patches. We just put together a nice collection of patches useful for laptops. If you want to credit people, credit the original patch authors for their work. Since Mandrake has acpi, software suspend, supermount, and some hardware compatability patches (ie Thinkpad drivers), what's different? BTW, it might be an idea to have a kernel image for laptops, built possibly with the battery-life patch, but I would hate to see a seperate kernel, requiring even more dupicates of kernel module packages (ie NVidia, ltmodem, AVM etc etc).

Regards, Buchan Nice work Buchan et al . *** Make dialup for user more easy Here maybe some informations are usefull: For modem several ISP should be easy by using peer-scripts as descriped in man pppd in the security section and : call name Read options from the file /etc/ppp/peers/name. This file may contain privileged options, such as noauth, even if pppd is not being run by root. The name string may not begin with / or include .. as a pathname component. The format of the options file is described below. For isdn and isdn4net it is possible by different files in /etc/isdn/profiles/link/ and some additional work. I can here a) add an easier method to isdn4net or translate my article from documentation section in the Clubs board (currently german) or both. For adsl it is not that often used to have different ISP I guess, alltough it should for pppoe be possible to use the same way like with modem. For all above I guess there is a group pppuser needed and the pppd/devices/ipppd/devices should be owned by that group. So dialup for user is secure and possible for user. If wished I can tie up some more specific information for this. *** remove/insert super-user menu items and icons *** I don't think it usefull to remove all superuser icons and links rigerous on all user accounts. A big number of users are there own admin. This would lead them more to login as root, instead login as user and su. A way both sides could be happy is to be able specify a user , who is responsible for the system. This user could get all the configuration icons and so on. Further this user should get the system mail (security warnings etc) This maybe could be ready configured in standard applications. The other users wouldn't get all the icons. I guess this setup fits nice in real wrld usage. It have to be possible to specify no such a user at all, since there are administered networks there no such user have to exist. *** Better Network Configuration *** mandrake should contain an easy configurable firewall for all connection types at least for standard setups. This means that at least the outside interface is good secured (net) and the intern is not bloacked at all (loc) Since often the firewall machine is either used as workstation and router for other machines or is standalone, these cases need attention too. Maybe with fuser or similar open ports could be detected and the application be named and it could be asked if the should be allowed for outside. This would it make easy for newbies to secure their machine nice. *** RandR *** What I have not found yet is a RandR applet for KDE. Has someone experience here yet. How functional is RandR support yet ? This would be a nice thing to have. My thought while reading the list. Since I have nno write access, it would be nice to quote usefull things out my mail :) Unrelated to that: It would be nice to add support for pppdcapi to drakconnect. Since I don't know how difficult this is i don't know if it will be done. I can write some stuff down if someone wants to have a look at it. It is just a matter of adding login information in a template file. A tool to connect with this sort of dial-up is linesrv /LineControl or other apps there one can add user defined scripts for connect a pppd connection. Hope above is not to much to read , thanks for reading till here ;) Regards Steffen
