Re: [newbie] VPN client

 I suppose that would be possible.  But if the employer has a VPN, they
 obviously want their employees to use that, so probably wouldn't be

 would be no need for a VPN.

Yes, as with people, you don't want too many unnecessary holes... :-D

[newbie] Stopped printing.

2004-08-02 Thread Keith Powell

I have an Epson Stylus 670 printer and it has suddenly stopped printing from 
Mandrake (although it will still print correctly from other distros). I 
haven't altered anything since it printed correctly in Mandrake yesterday!

I have tried Open Office, Abiword, KWord, KWrite and printing from a terminal. 
None will print :-(

This is the error message I get:


A print error occurred. Error message received from system:

use cups to re-start the print server.

If you are using KDE, open the menu, configure, printing, cups WWW
admin, admin, manage printers, start printer. 

You might need to check 'jobs' first and remove any that are stuck in
there, if so, you may not need to go into admin.

[newbie] Dropped DSL for Cable, now I need a firewall/router

2004-08-02 Thread Thinker

Hello All,
 I just got rid of DSL. Changed to cable and I am now using a modem 
provided by my cable company. I've had to call for support three times 
already because of connectivity issues. Needless to say, I was not 
happy when the tech from my cable company told me he could see my 
machine over the network. Also, the modem I have will only allow me to 
connect to one computer.

I would like to use my Linux box as a firewall/router. I remember 
seeing a few articles about this a while back but I did not bookmark 
them (and that was several installations ago). I have a spare machine 
just sitting around doing nothing and I have plenty of spare network 
cards, etc. I would like a good comprehensive, explain this to me like 
I am 4, step-by-step instruction on how to create this and make it as 
secure as possible. I need the cable modem to go into the box and have 
the box handle the fire-walling and handing out of IP's to my two other 
machines as well as my wireless access point.

Thanks in advance,

 You might need to check 'jobs' first and remove any that are stuck in

Many thanks for your help, PM. The printer is now working.

I followed your instructions and started the printer - nothing. So I clicked 
on Accept Jobs and it sprang into life. However, I probably needed to start 
the printer as you suggested, before telling it to accept jobs.

Thanks again.

 I can get to the net with my work box at home by plugging a wire in
 to the wire, but I thought it would be educational to just use the
 two wireless connections to the work box connected to the net at
 home.
 Shouldn't I be able to share the wireless connection on my home box
 to do this, effectively making my home box a second router? Can this
 be done directly through MCC or do I need to do additional
 configuration?

You should be able to do it through MCC.  Just remember that when 
setting up the wireless interface that you want it in the ad hock mode, 
and not the managed mode.  (I don't think MCC can handle setting up the 
wireless NIC to act as a access point.)

To the best of my knowledge the only torrents for Mandrake 9.2 are those that
pull down the entire release. All three ISOs.

I suppose bit torrent has it's advantages, in my opinion primarily for
downloading and sharing new releases. But in your case, since you only need 1
of the disks and possibly the md5sum file, why don't you just download the
disk you need? 700 MB (roughly) versus 2 GB (roughly) for the entire release?
Would that not save on your bandwidth use?

I think you could probably find a mirror for this yourself, but since you're
in the U.K. you will probably get fast transfer rates from a sever in Paris?

If you're in a hurry, try booting from the second CD, and when it asks
you, replace it with the first CD. If it's only your boot image that's
Borked, that should get you up and running right away, while you're
waiting for the download.

As a side note, i typically keep the original ISO's until the version is
no longer supported. That way i can burn as many as i want without
having to download them repeatedly. You might want to burn a set of
ISO's to CD and keep them as your master copies for situations just like
this.

Winning response... thank you.  I changed the security level from
4 to 3 and can now ping and ssh to the new server.  But now I
have another question...

Is there a way to use a higher security level and tweak it to
enable certain types of access.  E.g., I don't really care about
not having ping, but would like to have ssh.  I see a couple of
files (security.4 and security.5) in /etc/security/msec... is it
possible that the .4 and .5 correspond to levels and lists what's
allowed?

OK, Could be a bad NIC, or a bad cat5 cable shorting out the NIC. Also, 
it could be that your NIC isn't supported or not configured properly.
Try unplugging your Cat5 cable from the NIC and retest your local loop.
Also, see if your local loop is listed in your /etc/hosts file.

If that doesn't do it, try standing on your desk while yelling and 
screaming until someone comes to fix your system. It probably won't 
work, but at least you won't feel so frustrated!

[newbie] Sceduling Automatic Reboots

2004-08-02 Thread Mark Rogers

Hi Team

Thanks to all those who have given invaluable help over the last few weeks. One last 
item (for the moment) that I need to do is setup my system (which is always on) to 
reboot once a day. Im doing this to ensure there are no problems while absent from the 
machine for a couple of weeks. The machine will not be logged on as 'root' and my 
security limit is set pretty high (i.e. the reboot command needs to be looged in as 
'root' before it executes). Anyone have any idea of how I should go about
doing this?

Thanks in advance

Yours Sincerely

I agree with that opinion. I was unable to touch my system for as much as 3 
weeks during the run up to the previous Mandrake release plus an undefined 
number of days after that. Illness. Between the Mandrake lists and others I'm 
subscribed to, there were over 40,000 unread messages when I got back. 
Everything that I'd left running was still running and nothing untoward 
happened. The swap file was still unused.

When cooker is going through a test release cycle (Alpha, Beta, Release 
Candidates) I reboot a lot more than I would like, or would normally. Quite 
often just so that I can test the installer. Other than that...

As for the reboot to run a new kernel, that may change in the near future too.

There's a project (can't recall the name off hand, sorry) underway to make 
starting a new kerenl without a reboot possible.

As soon as I recall what the project is called I'll post it.

You should not need to reboot linux, unless you update or change kernel.
The only problem I ever have is the weather, no ups and lots of nasty 
thunderstorms, so I have to shut down a lot. Oh and did I mention I 
torture my systems on a more than regular basis, installing this 
uninstalling that, crashing programs (user error there) running servers

Didnt know I had hijacked any thread. I didnt realise that this list was a little 
different to most I use. I simply replyied to someones message about something else, 
yet changed the subject line, on all other systems I have used this has created a new

tracks a new subject. Im not useing a webinterface or message reader, simply an email
