I have yet to hear about (and I doubt that I will) of any actions taken by Homeland Security that have a negative effect on average, peace loving, hard working citizens. If the new law of the land means that we now have additional tools to eliminate the scum of the earth (the chemist fits the description), that's great. Those same tools are *already* being used to erode your liberty and your privacy. One example: http://www.dontspyon.us/jetbluescandal.html And the guvmint is *already* lying about it. If the Homeland Security guys want my library usage record, they are welcome to it- mystery readers have little to fear. Somehow I doubt that a library reader whose only straying from the fold is to read a bomb making manual has nothing to fear. So if I read books on weapons, tactics and demolition I'm straying from the fold? I'm well capable of designing and contructing explosive devices that could level the better part of a city block.

And next you'll tell me that I have something to hide if I invoke the 5th Amendment. Bah. They haven't, yet. The SS didn't immediately go out and start cracking heads. I'm not going to wait around for my government to do something like that. I fight to prevent it from happening in the first place.

Printing
On Slackware 8.1, I had printing (lpr/lprng) using a Canon BJC-210
working nicely. I did the upgrade to 9.0 and now I can not get it to
work no matter how or what I do. I then decided to setup printing on
another machine with a clean install of Slackware 9.0 and still no joy.
If I send a jop to the printer, I get the usual prompt that its
happening but nothing appears at the printer. If I issue "lprm -a" the
print job is listed and removed (as it should) I have lp0 detected at
boot and the bjc-210 is detected so that is not the problem (parport is
loaded) I can "cp somefile /dev/lp0" and it prints, but "lpr somefile"
renders absalutely nothing. Looking at my printcap file, the line:
:if=/etc/apsfilter/basedir/bin/apsfilter:\
does not look correct. Should this not point to:
/etc/apsfilter/canonbub/apsfilterrc ???
# APS2_BEGIN:printer2

:af=/var/spool/lpd/canonbub/acct:\

As a ham, I volunteer during these events (ski-sea we fuild about 100 to 120 operators) All along the course-route they have ambulances staged at what is deemed as danger points.

Lance has demonstrated throughout the race the courage and dedication to a sport (as you have pointed out here) that isn't all that popular or even well known in the US.

After a lot of RTFM along with several test installs, I now realise that most of the problems I've had witth PHP-nuke are "Msql access" related. What I need to do now is to determine the proper way to secure the mysq-server and yet allow php-nuke to access its dbase. I had no problems setting up eestock (with postgres) and works like a charm but then it doesn't use mysql. All the documentation I've come accross re php-nuke impies that mysql is left wide open as there is no reference made to securing the installation. This might be acceptable on an internal home system but not on a pruduction system. There has got to be some better docs out there, but as of yet, I've not come accross them. Software and network security are my extreme weak-points thus I'll be doing a lot of RTFM'n.

Re: php-nuke
A bit more info re:php-nuke install. This system is not on the internet (well hidden behind a firewall) On a fresh install of mysql, apache, php and php-nuke. I've setup mysql with mysql_install_db Then checked ownership of /var/lib/mysql. and is mysql:mysql then did the mysqladmin create nuke folowed by (in /var/www/htdocs/html/sql) mysql nuke < nuke.sql then to verify that the tables were imported (filled); mysqlshow nuke edit httpd.conf so that index looks at index.php and htdocs points to php top dir. In my case /var/www/htdocs/html in a browser I point to localhost and the intro screen does come up. I click on the setup superuser and enter a user name and password. change the login(index) to reflect what I wanted and save and logout now the admin.php should have only run once, The next time I log in I get the same screen and that has not changed. Now what? I haven't created the root password for mysql yet but since this system is not visible I'll hold off untill I get all the quirks out of php-nuke. Ted Ozolins (VE7TVO) Westbank, B. C.

Have you tryed running "nukesql.php"? I'm just curious as to what error messages you get in doing so. I'm going to install postgreql later on today and see if things are any different. I've never had to chase so much information on the net just to install a package. What gets me is that on a fresh install of mysql the ownership of /var/lib/mysql is correct or at least as indicated in the mysql docs. Once you run "mysql_install_db" the ownership changes to root:root and mysql can't read its own files untill you change the ownership to what it was. I've created and tested dbase "nuke" and that seems to look ok yet when I run "nukesql.php" I keep getting the unable to find dbname "" please edit config.php and try again. Yet in config.php I have dbname = "nuke" but for some reason its not read or seen.

PHP-nuke again
A couple of things kept messing up my efforts to install php-nuke. It seemed that the perms on /var/lib/mysql before starting is owned by mysql and group mysql. once issueing "mysql_install_db" The ownership ont this dir changes to root:root thus mysql cant access it and creating or attempting to create passwords fail. Next while using nukesql.php to setup the "nuke" dbase, for some reason does not read config.php correctly and returns that it can not access dbname "" to set this in config.php and try again. But the dbase "nuke" is created by nukesql but this doesn't seem to go beyond that. it does seem to connect to mysql server. If I then try to point the browser to /path_to_htdocs/index.php or admin.php I get a blank page. On Gentoo I've gotten it to go to the "home" page but changes I make under preference does not show up, I think a dbase problem. It would sure be nice to know what the perms for mysql and php-nuke dir should be. This is sure starting to baffle me.. -- Ted Ozolins (VE7TVO) Westbank, B. C.

Setting up permissions for user "ted" and "root" is where I keep getting things totally fragged. Untill I set perms I can create/delete databases no prob.But then more RTFM shed the light. I can start using mysql(sort-of) . One final hurdle. In setting up php-nuke the install indicates to use the command; mysql nuke < nuke.sql This goes nowhere. I can now connect to mysql create and delele dbases but I can't seem to fill the dbase "nuke" with the contents of nuke.sql. Am I still in the dark?

So far I've gone from 155 fps to 608, I'll see what it will do after . Thank you:) -- Ted Ozolins (VE7TVO) Westbank, B. C.

Re: DRI anyone?
rtfm'd every doc I can find, yet have seen no reference to AGP settings. Did I miss something? Dang! if I'd read all the mail I'd had seen Roberts XF86Config section on vidio.

Here's what I see for a Radeon 8500le 64meg: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R200 20020827 AGP 4x x86/MMX/3DNow!/SSE TCL And it gives me: 11058 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2211.400 FPS Finally, I've got DRI running on Slack-8.1 but not as I would like to see it. I couldn't get the dri extension up on X-4.2 so I finally did the up-grade to 4.3. glxinfo relects the fact that dri is up but at AGP 1x. My ri28 board is 2x and my mb will support up to 4x. Is there a switch or other entry one has to do to XF86Config to get the 2x? I've rtfm'd every doc I can find, yet have seen no reference to AGP settings. Did I miss something?

With the i810, the manual page says you only get harware-accelerated 3D via DRI at 16bpp color. I'm unclear, however, if you get DRI at other depths (well, 24bpp) if you don't care about hardware-accelerated 3D -- I've got Matrox and NVIDIA cards here, so I have no problems in that regard.

What I enjoy with both of these distro's is that if I find a program (xcircuit comes to mind) I would like to evaluate, I wont be chasing all over the internet to satisfy its dependencies, nor will I be (as I was with Caldera) stopped because of way out-dated libs. -- Ted Ozolins (VE7TVO) Westbank, B.
