Re: [newbie] shorewall: how to open high port
well i'm no expert but it looks like you are using 'active ftp', you connect to the server on port 21 and the server connects back to you from port20 to a random high port for the data transfer, of course you don't know in advance what that port might be i got round this by telling my ftp server to accept passive connections, and then specified to the server what range of high ports it should offer to the client, then when a client connects on port21 it is given a port to make another connection on for the data transfer, of course then all one has to do is open that range of ports oin the firewall for incoming connections now it may be possible to configure an 'active' setup to only connect back on certain ports, i wouldn't know, but the above solution was the one profferred to me a few years ago bascule On Wednesday 31 Mar 2004 2:24 pm, Fajar Priyanto wrote: SPT=20 DPT=32802 WINDOW=5840 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0 Can anyone give me direction here?

[newbie] Samba limitations?
I'm running 10 here on my laptop, no problems. However I just noticed that for some reason my Samba mounted NT shares from network servers don't give me a complete listing but stop after 122 entries. The directory contains 4 subfolders and 414 m3u files (yup, it's my music server), yet no matter what I do all I see is 122 files (the first 122) and sometimes 1 folder. I've been using Nautilus, thought it was a Nautilus issue, installed gnome-commander, same thing. I've mounted and unmounted the share, no difference. As a final try I command lined it to the mount point and did ls, nothing showing. I know that under 9.2 I didn't have this problem. When I rebuilt my laptop this weekend using the community DVD I decided to do a clean install rather than update, so I can't go back to see the difference. Any ideas?

[newbie] Evidence of the Superior Intelligence of Canadians ;-)
The Canadian Federal Court has ruled that computer users who made music available on the Internet could not be sued. The recording industry said it would appeal the decision. Justice Konrad von Finckenstein ruled yesterday that the Canadian Recording Industry Association did not prove there was copyright infringement by 29 so-called music uploaders. He said downloading a song or making files available in shared directories, like those on the popular web site Kazaa, do not constitute copyright infringement under Canadian law. No evidence was presented that the alleged infringers either distributed or authorised the reproduction of sound recordings, Justice von Finckenstein wrote in his 28-page ruling. They merely placed personal copies into their shared directories which were accessible by other computer users via a P2P, or person-to-person, service. He compared the action to a photocopy machine in a library. I cannot see a real difference between a library that places a photocopy machine in a room full of copyrighted material and a computer user that places a personal copy on a shared directory linked to a P2P service, he said.

Re: [newbie] Multifonction printers and linux?
Hi, I have recently got an HP3330 printer, scanner, copier, fax. Look at the twiki page on how to set it up: http://mandrake.vmlinuz.ca/bin/view/Main/LaserJet.

Re: [newbie] How to kill printer queu?
In the terminal: lpq Gives the list of print jobs. Then either lprm ¨print job #¨ or cancel ¨print job #¨ cancel the job. I don´t remember the exact format. But it is essentially like those. Try also man lprm man cancel man lpq man lpr Regards, Ramin On March 29, 2004 07:32 pm, Marco Verheul wrote: Hi all, I'm having a HP deskjet 3325 attached at a usb port and it runs like a charm. But a while ago I had major problems printing documents and had to breack it of. Now it seems that there is still a lot of pages in the queue, so for the last half hour my cartridge is getting waisted on stuff I don't need. Does anybody know how to find out if there's more to come and most importantly, how to cancel it? I'm running mdk 9.1 by the way.

I wish I had a dozen more. I have one of those. I actually bought it in '93 from the Easy Options division. I treat it more tenderly than any other component. I can type much faster on it than any other keyboard, and unfortunately, it cannot be replaced. I contracted at IBM for many years - I know a closet with boxes full of them gathering dust. I'm tempted to call the guys back up and ask if I can have about a dozen of them. -- Guy Rouillier Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] sound in mdk 10
It might be that MandrakeMove is using the 2.4.x kernel whilst Mandrake 10 installs the 2.6.3 kernel. Please correct me if I got that wrong, but if so, then what do we need to do to get sound working on slightly earlier systems? -- Regards Frank Big or small, a challenge requires the same commitment to resolve.

Let me guess - XMMS won't play, KDE crashes on startup, Mplayer is flakey? Check your sound driver in DrakConf (go to Hardware and configure the sound driver from there). I noticed that the sound driver that Mandrake was using was different to the one I had used to MDK9.0... I picked the original one and rebooted. Everything works perfectly now. (I also screwed about with sound other things, but it's likely was I barking up the wrong tree).
