[expert] transparent kicker
Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone has been able to install a transparent kicker onto Mandrake 9.0. I had Mandrake 8.2 and had installed the transparent kicker on it, but after I upgraded to Mandrake 9.0 I am seemingly unable to put it back on. I've just about tried everything. Please if anyone has 9.0 and was able to put the transparent kicker upon it, tell me.Anthony VDo you Yahoo!? Y! Web Hosting - Let the expert host your web site

You can use the samba-winbind feature if necessary. But you should better turn your W2K AD in a samba box and make it run and then turning your workstations on linux.

Re: [expert] systemstart and eth0-dependencies
I think this is related to what you are doing but I'm not sure. I've found both in Linux and in BSD that they read the cards on the PCI bus in either a bottom to top or a top to bottom order. (Linux does one FreeBSD does the other and I can't remember which is which right now.) I'm running a slower nic to my cable modem than to my Lan (Cable is less than 10mbps so why not?) What I found was that in order to have the cards and *nix in sync I had to reverse the physical location of the the cards in the PCI slots. Then it auto recognized the other card as eth0 and I assigned IP's accordingly. This worked... Don't know why it happens and since it works never really tried to find out. It was just the only way I could get the slower card to be connected to the outside world and have my lan connectivity right as well. It's an older pent 233 system so that may affect things as well (still has ISA slots) James On Sun, 2002-10-20 at 09:25, Ron Stodden wrote: > hans privat wrote: > > > if I change the two cards, so that I have eth0 as IP 10.0.0.10 and eth1 > > has the IP 192.168.10.8, then I'm running into problems with ssh-login > > from local or remote. > > > > Now my very interesting question : > > Is this behavior predesigned on linux, or do I have a possibility to > > make a change in a script anywhere on the linux-system, so that eth0 can > > have also an IP 10.0.0.10 or any other IP, and the eth1 is having the > > "local-network" adress of 192.168.10.1 (or any other IP) and a login > > with ssh root@jojo will be successfully. > > The situation is certainly unsatisfactory, and the solution I use > involves making all the NICs the same speed, so that they are > interchangeable and you don't care which one the kernel decides is eth0. > > man arp is a hot clue.

Remember that X-CD-Roast needs to be setup through root. Mandrake should have setup your burner correctly for scsi emulation; don't worry X-CD-Roast will complain if it is not there. Practice with CD-RWs until you get the hang of it For your particular situation You master your /home/%user directory to an image Blank the disc Write the image Verify the image. [this will flag a bad burn] The only extra for multi-session disc is the fixation stage, don't fixate the disc and you can write another track. Fixation basically says "The End". X-CD-Roast uses cdrecord and will printout the corresponding command so you can learn to use cdrecord also. Another plus of using X-CD-Roast is you can add or remove directories and see how much space they take up, including when you add to a multisession CD. Then if you want to progress to the line commands you will have a greater understanding how they work and exactly what command cdrecord needs. If you need help using X-CD-Roast email me directly and I can walk you through it. Gabriel signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Well, I have just installed the autoconf2.5 from mandrake rpm and have to put automake 1.5 on by tarball as I recall. maybe run ldconfig and kde seems to find it and it doesn't seem to stop any other stuff from compiling after.

The situation is certainly unsatisfactory, and the solution I use involves making all the NICs the same speed, so that they are interchangeable and you don't care which one the kernel decides is eth0. man arp is a hot clue. The arp command probably sets up which is eth0, 1, etc based not on your assigned IP address but based on the NIC's MAC address, which is really what you want.

[expert] systemstart and eth0-dependencies
hi, I have the follwing situation : eth0 is a realtek8139 and is having at first the "local-IP" 192.168.10.8 eth1 is a 3Com and is having the IP 10.0.0.10 for cennecting on a ADSL-Speedtouch-Alcatel. if I change the two cards, so that I have eth0 as IP 10.0.0.10 and eth1 has the IP 192.168.10.8, then I'm running into problems with ssh-login from local or remote. Now my very interesting question : Is this behavior predesigned on linux, or do I have a possibility to make a change in a script anywhere on the linux-system, so that eth0 can have also an IP 10.0.0.10 or any other IP, and the eth1 is having the "local-network" adress of 192.168.10.1 (or any other IP) and a login with ssh root@jojo will be successfully. thanks for any hints and tips bye hans Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I just checked in the Control Center and my security level is Standard. Why should they? I think the designers have made a perfectly reasonable assumption that, if user A is logged in and has opened the MCC (or embedded applications) once after being asked for the root password, if A is still logged in the same person is sitting behind the computer and shouldn't have to enter the root password again on opening the MCC. A 'more secure' installation would force the root password to be entered at every possible point it could be entered, and time any shell out logged in as root for too long, but would also be irritating to use. Alastair and I am willing to bet that the sudo does still time out, just not as fast as it used to, give it a day, and then try. and if you want, I bet a higher msec rateing will make it more secure until it is so tight it squeeks when root walks. I just confirmed after keeping my computer overnight. It is indeed a feature of Mandrake to time out the root Authentication. Mandrake Control Center asked me for my root password in the morning after having left the laptop on all night.
