Re: [newbie] backup/restore/repartitioning
Frank wrote: H OK! Your choice of using Mandrake to do the actually partitioning and formating is your only choice if you wish to have your Windows partition survive the exercise un-disturbed. Your only other such option is to use something like Partition Magic. AS ALWAYS! You must backup things first! I've forgotten the content of the orginal post so forgive me for assuming you have only one harddrive. I have two harddrives, so thankfully, I won't have to touch the partition table on the Windows drive, where my Linux backup will be. My warning here is that you must study and read carefully, all things within the partitioning exercise when you get to that part of the Mandrake Installation. I actually tried different ideas to see how things would look 'on paper' when within the partition part, because you can simply back up one and do it again and again before commiting to what you believe is correct. Aim for a good partition mix that would suit your needs but basically do not exceed 3 x primary partitions and 1 x extended partition broken up further into 4 actually partitions, for each harddisk, for now. Do a search for linux partitioning and you'll get a clearer idea of what is available for you, and a clearer idea of sizing partitions. For example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] frank]$ df FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 966M 121M 796M 14% / /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 966M 11M 906M 2% /boot /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part8 9.4G 4.2G 5.3G 45% /home /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part3 12G 6.1G 4.7G 57% /mnt/empty /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part2 16M 2.3M 13M 16% /mnt/hdb2_boot /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part5 92M 55M 33M 63% /mnt/hdb5_root /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part6 92M 62M 25M 72% /mnt/hdb6_var /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part7 3.1G 1.9G 1.1G 64% /mnt/hdb7_usr /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part9 1.5G 1.4G 109M 93% /mnt/hdb9_home /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1 14G 12G 2.5G 83% /mnt/win_c2 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part4 3.4G 2.4G 1016M 71% /mnt/win_h /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part6 9.4G 3.6G 5.4G 40% /usr /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part9 1020M 141M 827M 15% /var To bring this back to something you may have gotten used to read the above table as: Target0 = hda [harddrive A - Master] Target1 = hdb [harddrive B - Slave where Windows belongs?!?] part/n/ = the relavant partion number eg: /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part9 is my _*hdb9*_ partition on my slave harddrive and contains a previous installation home directory ( mandrake9.1 in this case.)

Re: [newbie] Installation folder for Apache 2 ???
Hello, The question is not Where the site root directory is? The right question is Where the apache configuration file is? That will help anyone to aviod problems like this one just discussed. In configuration file you can find it anytime and config file is IMHO intuitive enought to provide information about site root directory to anyone able to install a system. Folks, config files are your friends, they should be readed immediatelly after the README and man pages of product. : OT NOTE: if somebody is starting to write a php or cgi scripts, it is good to remember that it is dangerous to have scripts in site root directory (as somebody wrote in this streame). Basic scheme: index.php is located and executed in /var/www/html, other scripts are located in /var/www/myphp and executed from index.php. It is little bit more difficult to play with site wrote like this (or to hack it).

Re: Re: [newbie] Spam Filter with Kontact
Rob, do you check your inbox and spam folder for FN's and FP's before running your script? I take it you have auto-learn 0 in your local.cf? FN? FP? auto-learn 0? local.cf? I have no idea what these are. If you help me decode this, maybe I can figure out what you are asking. Rob FN's = False Negatives, a 'spam' that has been marked as 'ham' by SA FP's = False Positives, a 'ham' that has been marked as 'spam' by SA I have KMail move all my mail that SA thinks is spam into a folder called SpamPile. I let KMail delete any message that is older than 3 days from there. If I get a FP, I put it in the box where it belongs, if I get a FN, I place it in SpamPile. I run a script I wrote called spam-learn that runs sa-learn for various folders, that I have classified as spam or ham. Below is my /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf: Never edited this one. Literally, all I do is place the FP or FN into the correct box (which rarely needs to be done) and run my_rules_du_jour once a week. I get very few spams in my inbox and about 20 a day are sent to me. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] The Linux virus myth
stephen, i'd agree that a truly secure environment would prevent unknown programs from running, but a virus doesn't necessarily need root privs. if i can write a shell script that runs as a user, that can wipe my user files, send mail with attachments, create a dotfile and a user cron job to run it, then so can a virus writer, all that is required is that i be tricked into downloading the file/saving the attachment, making it executable and then running it, of course that involves a lot of social engineering compared to simply relying on a broken email client to do all that for you, but, let me say that again, but, in a world where every one switches to linux from windows there will be an awful lot of users on whom such social engineering will work. you and i, and probably most everyone on this list at this moment in time are, almost by definition, the kind of people who like to know more than just how to click a mouse button, folk who like to learn about our machines, in doing so we will inevitably pick up skills of net hygiene, if not by deliberate learning then by a form of osmosis, surrounded by a culture of people who truly 'know better'. one day that previous paragraph may no longer be true. that is why a lot of old hands in the linux/bsd/unix world will seem to be anal about things like md5sums, pgp sigs on mails etc. not because they all move in a harsh 'cracker eat hacker' world (though some do), but because they can see the future, or at least one possible iteration of it, and getting those habits down now, before they become necessary, can't hurt any :) bascule On Monday 26 Jul 2004 8:05 pm, Stephen Khn wrote: The simple fact of the matter is that a virus cannot run in a secure environment; you have to have root privileges in order to do so; hence an attack on a linux box is generally from outside, and not inside - unless someone was successful at running a rootkit on the machine in question. -- - What're quantum mechanics? - I don't know.
