Per quanto riguarda i permessi, oltre a rimandarti alle pagine man (croce e delizia di ogni linuxiano e, credo, anche di qualche adepto di von Masoch), i comandi per l'attribuzione dei permessi sono chmod, chown, e chgrp. chmod : cambia i permessi per l'utilizzo di un file; un file pu essere letto, scritto o eseguito; chi lo ha creato pu decidere di permettere solo a se stesso di poter eseguire queste operazioni; oppure di permettere anche al gruppo a cui appartiene una o tutte di queste operazioni (immagina all'interno di una comunit che utilizza il computer, un gruppo i cui componenti devono eseguire una certa ricerca e che hanno la necessit di scambiarsi i file che producono); oppure pu ritenere opportuno di mettere a disposizione il suo file all'intera comunit (immagina un esibizionista :-)). Un metodo molto semplice per poter eseguire questa attribuzione di permessi attraverso un comando ottale: immaginalo cos costituito permesso di lettura = 4 permesso di scrittura = 2 permesso di esecuzione = 1 niente ti permesso = 0 (0-7 sono otto numeri, il conto torna..) Immaginando una struttura Utente Gruppo Altri l'attribuzione dei permessi si risolver in una semplice operazione di addizione per ogni elemento della struttura; Esempio:# chmod 777 nomefile da a tutti (Utente, Gruppo, Altri) il permesso di lettura, scrittura esecuzione su nomefile (infatti 4+2+1 =7). chown Per poter eseguire i ghiribizzi di cui sopra, ovviamente devi essere il proprietario(=own) del file, oppure mr. root. Il comando per assegnarsi (nel caso si sia root), od assegnare ad un altro la propriet di un file (nel caso si sia proprietari generosi) chown nomenuovoproprietario nomefile. chgrp Caso mai non si fosse capito ch sta per change; in questo caso il comando cambia l'appartenenza ad un gruppo chgrp nomenuovogruppo nomefile. Hanf... e questo tutto; se poi non mi credi, prova a cliccare su un file con il tasto destro, quindi propriet -- permessi, e vedrai il tutto schematizzato; oltretutto, se sei root tutto quello che ti ho spiegato potrai farlo molto pi velocemente a colpi di mouse..

RE: [newbie] Firewall and win
Firewall can only block ports but not program specific, i.e., if you block everything but leave web open, any web browser would work. If you really want to lock it down to one program, i.e. Netscape instead of IE, try something like Norton Personal Firewall.

RE: [newbie] Single Network Firewall

Re: [newbie] Single Network Firewall

Well I guess he's letting his ISP assign an IP to his Windows box so it will work on his DSL line (or whatever). I get around a similar problem by running NAT, but I'm trying to think of a solution for him. One way would be to run NAT (I think that's the basis of Microsoft Internet sharing or whatever they call it, and then continue to use IPs as you suggested in the second quoted paragraph above).

[newbie] How to burn iso - again
Hi , I have looked at both the newbie and expert lists on this but I still have some questions so I understand it correctly, I just downloaded the 8.2beta3 cd's want to burn a bootable cd under linux ( currently run LM 8.0 ) I have never done this in linux and would like to try. I have a SAF cd-rw4424a @ dev=1,0,0. What would be the command line to cdrecord an iso and make it bootable? In windows it read the iso and made the boot.img as it went , does linux do the same? or do I have to include something? If so how ? - or will this make a bootable cd: cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=1,0,0 MandrakeLinux-8.2beta3-CD1.i586.iso ( from the dir where the iso is of course ) ? If I use this method would it be bootable then? Or should I use gcombust or gtoaster and include an image of some sort? If this is what I need to do, where do I get the boot image and how do I include it? Thanks in advance. Mike Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [newbie] How to burn iso - again
Sun, 24 Feb 2002 13:40:14 -0600: In attempt to throw the authorities off his trail, mike [EMAIL PROTECTED] transmitted: What would be the command line to cdrecord an iso and make it bootable? You have it already: % cdrecord -v speed=2 dev=1,0,0 MandrakeLinux-8.2beta3-CD1.i586.iso If I use this method would it be bootable then? The Mandrake image should have been created using mkisofs with the 'b' flag enabled. It's not the burn (i.e. cdrecord) that makes a disk bootable but the process of image creation (i.e. mkisofs). From the mkisofs man page: -b eltorito_boot_image Specifies the path and filename of the boot image to be used when making an El Torito bootable CD. The pathname must be relative to the source path specified to mkisofs. This option is required to make an El Torito bootable CD. The boot image must be exactly the size of either a 1.2, 1.44, or a 2.88 meg floppy, and mkisofs will use this size when creating the output -c boot_catalog Specifies the path and filename of the boot catalog to be used when making an El Torito bootable CD. The pathname must be relative to the source path specified to mkisofs. This option is required to make a bootable CD. This file will be inserted into the output tree and not created in the source filesystem, so be sure the specified filename does not conflict with an existing file, as it will be excluded. Usually a name like boot.catalog is chosen. Or should I use gcombust or gtoaster and include an image of some sort? You could also read the README.eltorito in /usr/share/doc/mkisofs-V.v/ , where V is major version number, and v is minor version number for the Mandrake 8.2 release. But all you really wanted to know was just burn the dang thing using cdrecord, XCDroast, Gcombust or whatever! If this is what I need to do, where do I get the boot image and how do I include it? I'm pretty sure that all Mandrake i386 cds are bootable. The Mandrake team has done all the heavy lifing for you. HTH, - Chris Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

What I'm trying to achieve is end up with a user like 'postgres' in the LM 8.0 rpm of PostgreSQL. There is no icon, and only a group entry in Userdrake. I would like to duplicate this action, since I'm trying to install the source PostgreSQL 7.2. Whenever I try useradd postgres, I end up with an icon, and a home directory that I definetly don't want. Perhaps I should try 'groupadd' first with 'postgres' and then useradd 'postgres' ?? Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Tia, Andre -- Please pray the Holy Rosary to end the holocaust of abortion.

Re: [newbie] How to burn iso - again
Mike, Have you tried the graphical frontend to the cdrecord utilities? Xcdroast is what it's called. That may simplify things for you in the sort term. If you do have an IDE burner, be aware that the Linux utilities need a SCSI interface to access any burner in question. So, if youre like me and your burner is not SCSI, you will need to fiddle your lilo.conf to get a new boot command line in that contains the ide-scsi module, so that it will preload. This loads a SCSI command translation layer for IDE burners. There was a thread on this a while back, I can probably find it for you if need be.

(assuming its an ethernet dsl modem like we have.) that way, you have eth0 with could be your internal network interface card. and eth1, which would be your DSL internet interface.. then you set your gateway device to eth1. I don't use a gateway ip.. in my network settings, I remove the GATEWAY=* entry and add GATEWAYDEV=eth1 (thats in /etc/sysconfig/network ) that way the gateway IP doesn't matter.. works great for me. so in summary. Specify the relevant IP's for each interface, make sure you have seperate interface for Internal and external (internet) connections. bobs your uncle. rgds Frank. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Randy Kramer Sent: Sunday, 24 February 2002 9:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Linux and Win XP Franki wrote: no, your problem is that your machines are on different subnets.. as a test, set your XP machine up to use IP 192.168.0.1 and your linux box to use 192.168.0.2 and your netmask to both as 255.255.255.0 then restart the networking on both, and try pinging,, it will work if your network cards are working. I don't really understand why you see the need to do this, what is assigning the IP for the XP machine? and why isn't it also assigning one for the linux box? Well I guess he's letting his ISP assign an IP to his Windows box so it will work on his DSL line (or whatever). I get around a similar problem by running NAT, but I'm trying to think of a solution for him. One way would be to run NAT (I think that's the basis of Microsoft Internet sharing or whatever they call it, and then continue to use IPs as you suggested in the second quoted paragraph above). But, I've never set up Microsoft Internet sharing so I don't know how to tell him (the original poster) to do that. Randy Kramer Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
