xhost
Hi all, I am trying to configure my debian 1.3.1 box to allow me to run X programs from the root account when I am logged in as another user, this is because the root account is locked so I have to 'su' to root, the problem I am having is that before I 'su' to root I have to run xhost . Is there anyway to have this done automatically or do I have to enter it in manually? Also I have root's profile script set to export the DISPLAY environment variable when I do a 'su -' but does it matter if this is set if I am not in X but just using the console or telnet? If it does then how can I get it to only be set when I 'su -' from within X? Regards Graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Hi all I was looking at Debian's WWW site today at the package listings, and I noticed that for the packages the source is avvaliable in three different formats, and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the differences are in these three formats. they are .dsc .orig.tar.gz .diff.gz I guess the .orig.tar.gz ones are standard tar.gz files but what are the .dsc and diff.gz formats?

I don't know about the motherboard, but I know that some can cause problems, but I have never had any. UDMA as far I as know can not be disabled.

Sounds fine, but it may be worth checking out just to make sure. >> will a udma hard drive work in ide mode ... All hard drives I have had are backwards compatiable and YES a UDMA hard drive will work in standard IDE or E-IDE modes, it just won't be as fast as it could be. >> the other hard drive I am looking at uses the interface mode called >> "EIDE mode 4" what is this and will it work? This is refering to the data transfer mode that the Hard Drive uses. i.e. Most newer drives are Mode 4, but before UDMA, the standard E-IDE ones were of mode 1,2,3 or 4, I have not found any hard drive that is incompatiable and I have got all mode 4 drives, even my E-IDE cdrom drive is mode 4. But like yourself I do not think the UDMA support is avaliable at the moment, but it will still work. The only thing I would say is that check out if linux has a limitation of the size of a partition, I don't know if it does as I have never come across this problem but I may exist. But I am sure someone else on this list will be able to fully answer that question.

Win95's FAT32 & Linux
Hello, I have just upgraded my windows 95 system to version 2 and I have used the FAT32 file system, but I am now unable to mount this partition under Linux, is this possible at when it was FAT then I just used the vfat module but this does not seem to work. Any ideas? Also when I try to install LILO I keep get an error saying that it cannot access the drives, I currently have 3 hard drives in my system 2 on the primary controller (which is running my windows 95 system) and 1 on the secondary controller (which is running Linux) can anyone tell me why LILO won't install? This has ment that I have to boot Linux from floppy (using the boot disc created when I installed my kernel). Is there ny program avaliable that would create my lilo.conf file for me as liloconfig does not seem to do this anymore. Finally can anyone tell me why linux is not finding my new memory, I have just upgraded from 64Mb to 128Mb, and Linux still thinks I only have 64Mb, I have been told to add MEM=128 to the LILO prompt (i.e. linux mem=128) but I cannot do this because of the LILO problem I am having.

Hi, Does anyone know why on boot up my Serial ports are displayed as /dev/tty00 and /dev/tty01?

Getting Mail From POP3 Servers
Hello all I'm still trying to get smail working like I want, but I think I am nearly there thanks to all your help. But I have another question. How can I get my internet mail to my mail server from my isp's pop3 server, so that my promailrc file will filter all my mail both internet and local, I am currently using fetchmail to do this but it doesn't seem to use procmail so all my internet mail is getting placed in /var/spool/mail/ is there away to do this or will I have to use something like UUCP or IMAP. I don't think UUCP will work though as my ISP is using Windows NT 4. Thanks again for the help will smail.

Is this possible? if so how. Also is smail the default mail daemon of Debian? if so then using the default mail daemon would be preferable.

Sorry This is probably a stupid question.
Hi all, Sorry to ask this but what is hamm, I guess i should know, but I am new to this list, and Debain(after just moving from RedHat), so if someone could please let me know, I would be grateful, especially if anyone could give me the URL of any information.

Debian Linux and Non-Free Packages.
Hello all, Could someone please explain the concept of Non-Free Packages please (i.e. Pine etc). It is just that I don't understand why other distributions can include them in there official releases, where as debain can not. Also on another note, does anyone knoe if there is a graphical front end to the ipfwadm (Firewall) program? If not then I am currently considering writing one. The current plan is to produce both a ncurses version, and a HTML version. But why reinvent the wheel if there is already one.
