[expert] xinetd + Apache/Samba ?
Hi, I just updated from LM 7.1 to 8.0 so now I have to learn how to use xinetd instead of inetd. I read that xinetd could run any services I wanted. I guess that's right for the services that inetd was already running (cvspserver, ftpd,...). Had someone tried to run other (new?) services via xinetd ? Did it work ? I tried sshd and it seems to be working fine. Has somebody tried to run an Apache server or a Samba server via xinetd? Jean-Philippe
[expert] automount / supermount
Hi, Can someone tell me the difference between automount and supermount ? After reading the Mini-How-TO, I think I got most of how automount was working, but I don't understand anything in supermount. Do they do the same things? What are the differences? Can they conflict? Thanks Jean-Philippe
Re: [expert] CHMOD Question
I don't understand what you ask.
Maybe what you want is :
chmod 0750 /Directory/*/*
This will chmod all the files in every directories in /Directory/
Or you want to chmod every files without chmod'ing the directories?
=> find /Directory -type f -exec chmod 0750 {} \;

[expert] IP alias trouble
Hi! I have a range of IP adresses on the internet going from a.b.c.64 to a.b.c.95. I have two machines in my DMZ (a.b.c.66 and 68). All this works without a problem. The trouble comes when I try to add an IP alias : Here is the command I use to create it : /sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 a.b.c.90 netmask 255.255.255.224 broadcast a.b.c.95 If I add it to a.b.c.66, everything works fine. I can access my new address (a.b.c.90) from anywhere. But if I take out the alias from this card and make the same alias on the other machine, then I can only access it from the local network (eg from the DMZ)!! If I try to connect (www, ftp, pop3, ping, anything!) to a.b.c.90 from anywhere on the internet, it doesn't work! (The server does not respond). I checked that it was not a firewalling problem, but all the rules are set to "ACCEPT". I alsop though that it could be a routing problem (but then I don't understand why it would have worked when the alias was on the other machine), or maybe a "promiscuous mode" trouble or something, but I wasn't able to solve anything. Can somebody help me? Thanx. Flupke -- << There's no place like ~! >> Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

I didn't know about this '-a' option. But I still prefer the "tar" version. I just find it nicer.

All the files permitions and ownership would be lost. Beside, non regular files would also cause trouble. I would do it like this : first make a backup of /home2 in /home/old.home2.tgz and clean /home2 tar cvzpf /home/old.home2.tgz /home2 rm -rf * then transfer files from /usr to /home2 (cd /usr && tar cpf - .) | (cd /home2 && tar xvpf -) mount the partitions as they should be mounted umount /home2 /usr mount /dev/hdc1 /usr And then modify your /etc/fstab And maybe it would not be a bad idea to do it in runlevel 1.

I think that all you have to do is a "xhost +" from the xserver. Once you did this, what I usually do is starting an xterm on the remote machine : xterm -display ip.xserver.net:0 And you will be able to run any apps on the remote machine from the xterm.

You don't like vi? OK. It's your choice (thrust me, it's not mine! I
love this editor!). But if you are too subjective and lazy to realize that
it is one of the most powerfull text based editor available, then I think
that your default editor should be ... Notepad.
