Seems things have changed a bit.. but here is QA from reiserfs homepage
FAQ

Q. Can reiserfs be used as a root partition?
A. Yes, but you must mount /boot with the -notail option.

RE: [expert] 2.4 and ReiserFS

2000-12-23 Thread Vidyut Luther

you can't have / as a reiserfs filesystem. everything else can be. If you go
to the resierfs website, the install docs say so explicitly.

You don't...  ReiserFS is conflicting with something in current 2.4 kernels.
Chmoel is working on it.

Re: [expert] How is PHP configured?

2000-12-15 Thread Vidyut Luther

uncomment the lines.. also look for a Loadmodule phpXXX
I'm not sure which version of apache/php mdk ships with so couldn't tell u
what the number will be after the loadmodule.. but probably LoadModule
but for me it's

LoadModule php4_modulelibexec/libphp4.so

this needs to be uncommented, along with the addtypes etc.
after that, head over to php.net or zend.com for tutorials on PHP.

you might want to also checkout deskcode.com.. new site.. has some
promise.

Re: [expert] /etc/login.defs

2000-12-14 Thread Vidyut Luther

basically what I want to do is allow only people who belong to the wheel
group, to be able to use the command su.

as for the getpass_asterisks, it means it will echo 3 asterisks for each
keystroke when you're entering your password. just to confuse you and
anyone else looking over your shoulder :)

I'm not paranoid.. :).

Re: [expert] Telnet refuses to connect

2000-12-13 Thread Vidyut Luther

are you trying to telnet out or into your machine ?

if you get this message when you try to telnet to your machine.. check if
you have inetd running. ps -aux | grep inetd
should tell you.

if it's not running then you need to start it and make sure it starts at
boot time. start drakconf, and then select the startup options, make sure
inet is checked. Another thing u should check for is the security level,
if security level is at 3 (high). inet won't start at boot time, unless
you force it to.

if you get this message when you're trying to telnet outside.. then it's
probably because that ip closed telnet off.. or you're trying to connect
to to a diff port.. contact the admin of that host to figure what he
changed. there can be too many things on that. :)

[expert] /etc/login.defs

2000-12-13 Thread Vidyut Luther

I have question about the /etc/login.defs that ships with mdk 7.2
how come when I enter the following lines :

SU_WHEEL_ONLY   yes
GETPASS_ASTERISKS 3

they are ignored ? I've been a slack user for 5 yrs now, they work fine in
slack.. I'm guessing it has to do with diff versions of login being used..
so does anyone know what he equivalents are for mdk ?

secondly.. does anyone have a policy file for Tripwire ? the default
tripwire gives is for mostly rhat systems..
