FYI AirConnect Wireless AP
witht he help of another list mate, I was able to get a wireless access point up, without the use of their software.

Simply watch 9tail -f /var..) messages for the dhcpack and get the IP address of the AP (access point) open a browser to that IP address give the previous username and password, immediately choose configuarationa nd security and enter the new password.

Of one thing that I liked about DOS: There were little dependence between products. SO you can always add/remove packages without breaking others. YOu always knew where your data and the program (games, dbase, wordstar, wordperfect, lotus, harvard graphics, ...) were (well, at least in my PC). Both linux and the new Window$ broke this nice feature. One basically need to panic whenever you want to remove something from these multi-tasking, dyanmic binding system, expecting something to break. > I read that it's dam easy to build a Xfree86 from scratch. > But shouldn't one first remove the old version BEFORE > installing a new version? ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

My main thought is that it seems complicated and I don't hear that you've actually investigated whether or not the quota code is still working.

Have you tested: quota support? pam_limits? If neither of the above will work for you, and you're determined to play filesystem games, why not just give each user a mount, mount them a proper filesystem, and if it needs expanding in chunks, you can do that easily using LVM. The LVM stuff will allow you to easily expand or shrink any filesystem on the fly (assuming the filesystem to be shrunk has space to shrink down to). No copying necessary.

Re: speed of transfer
It may be a bit bigger than what you need, but I have to take a moment and plug OpenNMS. It's a very well done Network Management System that collects data using SNMP and service polling, providing a simple yet powerful Web GUI. Network managers want to look at this. It is currently in 0.9.9 release and soon to be 1.0 (within the month maybe?). While not as feature-bloated as HPOV or CA-U, it will very likely be a good replacement for most implementations of these systems very soon. Their 1.2 release (1.1 being the development tree) will include the only features lacking to replace most of these high-cost systems: network distributed, and path-aware alerting.

guru input needed! (re-inventing disk quotas)
Morning all: I have a client that wants to migrate to Linux from Solaris, but one of their main "gotchas" is the quota support in Linux. They believe (as do I) that quotas seem to be the first thing broken (and the last thing fixed) whever a change is introduced into the fs or block layers of the kernel. They currently have a *very* detailed accounting system in place that charges their internal customers (departments) based on disk usage, CPU usage, network utilization, etc. They don't want to lose any of this when they go to Linux. I believe I have solutions for everything but the disk quotas. However, I have what I think is a neat idea for solving the disk issue. I would like opinions. What I propose is this: 1. create /loops on the main disk server 2. for each user on the system, use 'dd' to preallocate a file in /loops: dd if=/dev/zero of=/loops/joe bs=1k count=10240 which would create a 10M (if my math is right) file called /loops/joe 3. chown joe:users /loops/joe 4. configure the automounter to mount the newly allocated file as joe's $HOME mount -o loop /loops/joe /home/joe Obviously, I would have to create a local 'create user' script to allocate the file, and add the entry into the automounter config. The biggest caveat I can see is that "joe" would be charged for 10M even if he only used 2M. I already ran this concerns by them, and they seemed OK with it. They said they would be happy selling disk in chunks like this. And we could always "extend" the allocation be creating a joe2 of the new size, and then copying the contents over and moving joe2 over top of joe. This will free them from worrying about whether or not the current quota code is working properly, and would easily enforce the hard limit.

Re: guru input needed! (re-inventing disk quotas)
THis sounds like it would work, except, what happens if someone wants to pay for 20MB of space? Sure, you could create a loop back file of 20MB, but this doesn't seem all that elegant. Also, copying the contents of one 'allocation' to a larger one is also not all that elegant.

KDE3
Well after 2 days & Dougs help in scripts, I have built installed & have kde3 up and running, then I put xfce to be in front of kde3 . Life is good again. One question now. WhenI start xfce from the login screen I get a xfce that is crippled, I then quit it and the real nice xfce starts. Now I am perfect, I do not make mistakes, yea in what life time grin, what have I done wrong this time. Changed all reference to kde2 to kde3 in /etc. Made symlink from startkde to startkde3& have a startxfce also, all three in /usr/bin. The kde3 login default selects the xfce for me, thus I can still use the kde3 apps. The only problem is my get out to the web, I can ftp ot telnet to other machines in my home network. cheers -- Rick Sivernell Dallas, Texas 75287 972 306-2296 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Caldera Open Linux eWorkStation 3.1.1 Registered Linux User .~. / v \ /( _ )\ ^ ^ In Linux we trust! ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.
