[expert] ppp0.pid file!

1999-07-22 Thread Hassan Monzavi


Dear Mandrake Users;

I am using a 'PPP' link to my IPS.  Usually 'pppd' creates a
'/var/run/ppp0.pid' which contains the PID of that process.  You can use
this to kill the PPP process and break the connection later.  But in case
of Linux-Mandrake 'pppd' creates a '/etc/ppp/ppp0.pid' file instead, which
is not standard.  Because all '.pid' files should go to '/var/run'
directory and not some place else.  I want to know how can I fix this.  I
mean how can I make 'pppd' to create it's 'ppp0.pid' in the '/var/run'
(standard place) and not '/etc/ppp'.

Sincerely,

Hassan

Yes it's work for example between Netscape and kedit. But it's just equal to
alt-c/v. So alt-c under Netscape and then crtl-v under kedit give the same
result.

For all former Windows user and ctrl-c/v addict it's painful to delete a big
piece of text under Netscape by doing crtl-c on the normal Netscape.

If someone is able to provide a Netscape.ad that gives crtl-c/v/a and don't

That is why I said "most."  It is not a good idea to use voice cable

work at 10 Mbps.  I've seen many (too damn many) Ethernet installations
done by ex-telco installers using Cat 3 cable and voice installation
techniques (imagine a 66 block in an ethernet circuit!)  It made me
cringe and want to apologize to the customer but they did work. 
10baseT is remarkably tolerant of bad cabling practices..

Also, since telco cabling is usually two pair and ethernet is four
pair, you have t know which pairs go to which pins to make it work.

Overall, not a good idea.  It is usually cheaper and easier to just
buy the right cable from the start.

Re: [expert] apache 1.3.6 and .cgi scripts not in cgi-bin

1999-07-22 Thread Jean-Michel Dault


If you haven't changed your httpd.conf, it should be on line 403. Change
it to: 
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks ExecCGI

RedHat's configuration is pretty insecure by default and I have seen many
sites get hacked. On Mandrake, I made sure it was easy enough for
beginners, while secure.

By the way, don't **ever** put a cgi chmoded 777! It's world writable and
executable, and anyone with knowledge can take control of your cgis if you
do that. Please, chmod it to 755.

 You might try the framebuffer drivers, but i am just guessing.

No, not exactly: framebuffer drivers always work in _graphic_ mode,
not in text mode. They can display text, of course, but text has to
be _rendered_ by the driver so it's much slower compared to _real_
text mode where you don't have text rendering to do _in software_
(it's done by the VGA card) and also only have to transmit only
2 bytes (char + attributes) to the card over the bus.
Last, real text modes can also use several screenfuls of data
all mapped in the 64k memory window (A000 to AFFF if I remember)
and switch _instantly_ from one screen to another.

If you find time, have a look some day at SVGATextMode documentation,
it's very well done and explains quite well even to the newbie.

Sorry for the redonduncy - in case you don't read the announce mailing
list...

First an interesting paper of Nicholas Petreley about the Linux World
Award he need to give:
http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-07/lw-07-penguin_1.html

Mandrake created an interesting problem for
me. I really like Mandrake 6.0. It's based on Red Hat 6.0, but Mandrake
strikes me as a better Red Hat than Red Hat.

That poses some problems. If Mandrake
qualifies for an award, shouldn't Red Hat share
some of the credit? Or look at it this way:
Red Hat claims the real value of its product is
the service and support that come with it.
When you download or buy Mandrake, you get
the Red Hat distribution but you don't get
Red Hat support. Is Mandrake really a better
Red Hat than Red Hat if you can't get Red
Hat support? (Mandrake does come with 100
days of free installation support if you
purchase a box instead of downloading

You can give your opinion :-) on Linuxworld forum.
