Re: [expert] Linux webcam using camsteam
What I did was setup my laptop to run apache. I have a linksys dsl router and have port 80 going to that machine. I then started up apache to run on my laptop. As root I started camstream from the /var/www/html directory and then have camstream save a snapshot every 9 seconds to that directory. Now you have the graphic that is overwritten every 9 seconds in your html directory. Now just right yourself a html file that refreshes every 10 seconds and reference the graphic ising the img tag. boom ya got a camera on the web. I wanted to use my hevy duty server i have sittng doing nothing its a Compaq dual 400 with 6 20 gig scsi drives but the fans in this beast are way to loud for around the puppies.

Re: [expert] Somewhat OT - Strange action from Road Runner -scanning mail servers
Your correct. Thanks :) To relay in postfix you have to do several things...the compiled default doesn't let mail through except from the same subnet and from localhost. Mandrake's default configuration doesn't change that. You'd probably want to go through /etc/postfix/main.cf and just search for the word relay and you'll see 2 or 3 different methods described for doing mail relaying that you can activate...but they are inactive by default.

Some idiot hacked my system using either the chunked-encoding bug in Apache or the OpenSSL vulnerability to gain access. He ised a rootkit called tc6. The file is called tc6b.tgz this kit will send out all your passwords used on the system hacked. There is a hidden directory /usr/bin/util that it creates and stores all the programs. There is a file named voodoo that has all the passwords in it. Check your /etc/initab file and look for a line that contains initcheck. that is the bad boy. this kit setup sshd on whatever port they want and whatever passwd. mine was port 54321 with a passwd of oo7oo7 You may want to do a lsmod and look for libldb.so.1 and libldb.so.2 Do not rmmod these puppies as this will crash your system. symply comment out the line in your inittab file and reboot. this will allow you to remove everything and all the hiden files and diretories can be safely removed.

You can mv the files anywhere in your home dir you have write permissions, but you can't seem to move to say /tmp It would seem that if an admin put a specific file in your home dir that they didn't want you to modify, you could either move it or even replace it with this setup. I'll admit this would be a little odd, but still a bug. Since I'm not sure who to report this too, someone please let me know. Julia not a bug! if you use umask 022 on /home, /home/user is 755 user user so, user can modify/erase all files in its $HOME. directory's permissions have prior on the files permissions if root wants to put a file in /home/user that he doesn't want user to modify, he has to put it in a specific dir which he is the owner. try this as root: cd /home/user mkdir test # test must be 755 root root cd test touch test1 touch test2 now try as user to mv or rm test1 and test2 in /home/user/test. bye jipe Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; name=message.footer Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Description: Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] playapp key
That type of key has been artound for a long time. It is used alot in the oem industry to prevent copying software. We used it to run wafer polishers. Without the key the system wouldnt work thus preventing copying the software to run a reverse engineered polisher. We sold to country's that were well known to reverse engineer industrial equipment. The ones we used pluged into the lpt port. The program would look at the port see if the key has the correct code and then go on if not it went into demo mode. Hey all!

I have looked high and low on how to configure the HP 170X Jetdirect printserver. Anyone have any ideas on how to configure a print qeue using a networked printserver with a hp deskjet 500 connected to it. the ip is 66.47.48.52 for the printserver.
Re: [expert] HP jetdirect 170X Printserver
Is the IP address hard coded, or just the default? I believe that I used arp and my print server's MAC address to forcibly set it's IP address to the one I desired. Then I telneted to it to complete the confiuration. Even though it's a D-Link, maybe the HP also has similar features. I can change the ip addy to anything I want but my network is 66.47.48.48/29 and im using that ip for the printserver. One of these days Ill setup my nat server when I have time and im not looking for a job. Richt now I just need to know what the printcap should have in it.

Re: [expert] linux distribution
Angus and Robert are right on the money. Run Mandrake as your first linux experiance and youll never go back to winblows. I started on RH years ago and stoped because of how hard it was to instal things. I finally tried again with Mandrake 6.1 and it was great. Load and go preety much. I also found out about webmin at the same time and that makes life alot easier. Now with Mandrake 8.0 it comes with webmin. I do still haave some issues with mandrake and smp and still love Slackware. Slackware is the sh!t for Linux IMHO Never had one problem with it. I ran it for over a year nonstop as a webserver in a large data center. Everything I ever tried to install went just like the readmes or howtos explain. I found with Mandrake 6.1 updating to KDE2 was not as easyu as with slackware. For what its worth try Mandrake 8.0 then when your serious try Slackware or Debian. Now if your really brave try FreeBSD :-)

Or is this a new install as well? If it's not already installed, you'll want to find out if SCSI support is included in your kernel. Chances are, if you don't currently have the SCSI adapter installed, it's not and you'll have to recompile the kernel with the SCSI modules included (since they weren't detected/installed during the initial installation).
