Re: Access Problem with pppd

On my EEEPC I am running an application called umtsmon (this is for gprs- access). Umtsmom is a single binary located in /usr/bin. When I start it, it is started, and when I want to connect to the internet it starts a modem connection by using pppd. This is fine working, when I am starting it as user root. (I use sux to become root from a normal user). When I start umtsmon as normal user, pppd is not allowed to be used by this user. This is ok, I want only users in a special group use pppd. So far so well, but I dop not understand this: When set the binary with rwsr-x--- (root:dialout), then umtsmon should start with the rights of root and should be also allowed to start pppd! But i does clearly NOT! I get the maesage: pppd is not allowed to start, only root is allowed to start it. What do I do wrong? Where do I think wrong? BTW: maybe someone wants to adopt umtsmon and create a package. It is open- source / GPL and it is really great tool (This only remarked besides) Thank you for any help! Best regards Hans Excuse me, what about sudo? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
Re: Ubuntu 8.10 sees my home partition, sid of Dec. 25 doesn't

Late on Dec. 25 I rebooted my sid system and my home directory is no longer visible to my system even to Grub. It contains my home directory. An Ubuntu 8.10 live CD sees it just fine. I normally keep everything updated unless apt-listbugs shows. FWIW it's /dev/hda10 on a 40GB drive. The / directory which is /dev/hda9 is completely visible and boots just fine. Is anyone aware of any changes at that time that would cause this? Any diagnostic ideas? What do you mean by doesn't see? no device or no filesystem?

Re: How to connect my ipod?

But depending on the mood of my machine (?) it is mounted as /dev/sdd, /dev/sde of whatever sd* it sees fit at /media/usb0 or /media/usb1 if I happened to have a usb-memory stick in my machine. Is it possible to let the iPod appear consistently at /media/ipod so that I can use it with GtkPod, which expects it to be at that mount point (or any other consistent mount point I guess)? If so, how does one do that using Debian Squeeze? udev + fstab You should write an udev rule for making something like /dev/ipod when a device is connected to the computer. And then write line like next in the fstab: /dev/ipod /media/ipod vfat noauto,sync,users 0 0 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
