Re: [expert] Can't run perl scripts as non-root in 9.1
No luck. Since the Perl thing is just the latest problem on this system, I think I'll start over. Maybe avoid any security settings in the install and just lock everything down my own way afterward.

Re: [expert] Can't run perl scripts as non-root in 9.1
Here's the /etc/security/msec directory: -rwxr-xr-x1 root root0 Jul 10 11:47 security.conf* lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 27 Jul 10 11:05 server -> /etc/security/msec/server.4 -rw-r--r--1 root root 193 Mar 7 06:41 server.4 -rw-r--r--1 root root 104 Mar 7 06:41 server.5 And env says SECURE_LEVEL=4. From that directory though, I can't see the correct way to set it lower than 4.

[expert] Can't run perl scripts as non-root in 9.1
I installed 9.1 a few weeks ago, and just recently discovered that non-root users can't run perl scripts. If I run any script with #!/usr/bin/perl in the first line, I get something like this: -bash: ./test.pl: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: Permission denied The script itself is executable, and permissions are correct on Perl. (/usr/bin/perl is a link to perl5, which is a link to 5.8.0, which is 755) There are no \r's or other odd characters in the shebang line. There are no acl's set on any of /usr/bin/perl* or the parent directories. Any normal user can execute /usr/bin/perl somescript.pl, but can't run somescript.pl by itself. If this is a problem with the default Mandrake setup then I'm sure the question has been asked before, but I haven't found any suggestions on Google except the usual things above. Is there anything else that can cause this? Maybe extra restrictions set in kernel-secure? I can't imagine why someone would think that's a security feature. And for the bonus question, how can I undo whatever it is that prevents users from running perl normally? Appreciate any thoughts. Ryan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Sendmail and relaying
I have sendmail working on my machine. What I'd like to do is be able to
send email from work on my home account. Comcast won't let me, because it
won't relay from my work machine. My thought was that I could have
sendmail relay the email, so from Comcast's POV it looks like the email is
coming from inside.
I can't get pop3d to work on my machine, but I thought setting the
Sendmail rules could work.
In my etc/mail/access it says:
{IP of work machine}RELAY
myname@ OK
This doesn't work however. Clues? Otherways of doing this? Suggestion
on why pop3d just doesn't seem to work for me?

[expert] Mandrake 8.2 and Mode_switch or Alt_GR
Has anyone successfully used staroffice 6.0 and been able to insert special characters on Mandrale 8.2? I used to do this in Mandrake 8.1/Open Office by using xmodmap to make my right alt key be the Alt_GR key. It worked fine. Here are the differences I've noticed about trying it with Mandrake 8.2 1. I can't do that in either OpenOffice 641c or staroffice 6.0 2. I can't set a key to be Alt_GR, but apparently (according to the help pages in staroffice 6.0) I should set it to Mode_switch. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Fixed it? The steps I have tried, as outlined in the staroffice help pages are... export SAL_ALTGR_COMPOSE=true xmodmap -e "keysym Alt_R = Mode_switch" and after checking the output of xmodmap -pk, the correct mapping has been set. But for some reason, pressing the right alt key and then the 2 key sequence for the unicode characters does not work like in did with Mandrake 8.1. Please respond directly to me as I am not subscribed. Sincerely, Ryan Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I also run a 100% pure ReiserFS system on one large 25gig partition with LM 7.2 for over 3 months now and haven't had even 1 single little problem...EVER. This is a truly awesome FS, although I have been wondering why some of my apps appear to freeze up sometimes for a couple of seconds and then return to normal and the disk seems to suddenly go insane with activity during the oddest times. I read that the only two real drawbacks are exactly what I am experiencing with ReiserFS, and they will be addressed shortly but are absolutely nothing to worry about. I would explain further, but the ReiserFS homepage, which I do not have handy, explains everything beautifully. Good Luck and Have Fun. I Love ReiserFS. It is really cool.

Dear Tom Berkley, So, what you are saying is that because I asked a question that has been plaguing more than just myself, and it isn't any less intelligent than hundreds of the other posts I see on this newsgroup, you have to act like a total as*hole to me? What's the deal. The answer I was looking for was very simple. So was my question. As a matter of fact I have been using Linux since ~1994 and RedHat's Mother's Day release was out. This my first time with LM and I have noticed that LM doesn't do everything the same as everybody else and I was just asking for a simple . Please do not ever act this way again.

[expert] Glibc_2.2
I have a question...What is the deal with EVERY SINGLE RPM needing Glibc_2.2? What is exactly is the reason and how do I acquire Glibc_2.2 without seriously messing everything up on Linux? This is ridiculous...I can't even download 1 single RPM anymore, ANYWHERE without it being dependant on Glibc_2.2. Why hasn't Mandrake's website or something at least made any mention of this fact/problem before I started wasting my valuable time the past couple of weeks looking for tar.gz or src.rpm files so that I could try and compile against LM 7.2 Glibc libraries instead of getting what I truly need and needing Glibc_2.2? What I want is a definite answer if someone has it. I am NOT going to compile source for anything at the moment, as I need to keep the system in either an all RPM or all tarball format, but this particular machine, I don't have the time to waste compiling and screwing with the whole tarball mess. Thanks. Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

[expert] Linux-Mandrake 7.0 for UltraSPARC/dual monitor
I am running Linux-Mandrake 7.0 for UltraSPARC on my SPARCstation 20 and I am attempting to use a dual monitor, each monitor has its own graphics card (SGX 8 bit card). I know in the earlier versions of Linux, dual monitor capability was not available, but that was around 1996. Well, time has passed, and I would like to know if this feature is available for Linux-Mandrake, and if so, can I implement this feature on my SPARCstation 20. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -vger PS- If anyone is remotely wondering why two monitors, well, I use to use Solaris and dual monitor feature was available. Therefore I would like to use the other monitor instead of it just sitting there collecting dust :) Join 18 million Eudora users by signing up for a free Eudora Web-Mail account at http://www.eudoramail.com
Re: [expert] kmail-1.0.29.1 configure can not find pgcc-c++
I had the same problem at one time. What I am about to suggest, you might know
alreadybut I will say it anyway:
1. Make sure pgcc-c++ is installed on your system.
2. If pgcc-c++ is installed on your system, make sure the location of the program is
in your path. Hopefully, this will work for U

Re: [expert] Unreal Tournament...?
Aha... ok. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I remember hearing something about an open source Unreal Tournament project, but I could never find the site. I have a Voodoo 3, so, hopefully I will have a chance at getting something to work :P -Ryan Richard Yevchak wrote: > > I've gotten Unreal Tournament to run.

[expert] Unreal Tournament...?
Hi, I've been trying to run Unreal Tournament under Mandrake 7.0, with no luck. By now, I'm almost convinced that there is something nonstandard about the distribution that won't allow it to run. The client binary shows the splash screen and exits with *no error message* while the dedicated server exits with a segfault halfway through loading. Has anyone else out there gotten it to run ok in 7.0? Ryan
