The second Linux machine operates as a server on which I back up files from the other two. Currently the server has a monitor, keyboard and mouse but I would like to run it as a straight forward ftp server with just a system unit. Therefore I need to be able to switch it off remotely as the only way until recently was to use its local controls. I have installed VNC on both the Linux machines which I can use to switch off the server but have to set up VNC each time on the remote machine as I lose the settings when that machine is shutdown. How can I set up VNC, and its password, so that it starts when the server is booted and therefore allows me to remove monitor, keyboard and mouse from that particular machine.

RE: [newbie] Permissions in a network
Yes, you can do this. Make a unix group for these users. As root: groupadd staff Now add users to this group. There may be a GUI way to do this but I would just edit /etc/group and add the users' name to the staff group. Now make the directory: mkdir -m 2770 /home/staff /home/staff/sharedfiles chmod .staff /home/staff /home/staff/sharedfiles Now these users can share files by putting them in /home/staff/sharedfiles HTH, Bill -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Alexander Ruoff Sent: Wednesday, October 06, 2004 6:40 AM To: Mandrake Mailinglist Subject: [newbie] Permissions in a network I got a question regarding file sharing with a network drive and permissions.

I dug through the files in /var/log/ and found that the stuff that flashed quickly between the time I entered my selection in Xtart and the time the window manager appeared was in /var/log/kdm.log and it appears to be canned text that doesn't change because the date on the file is Oct 1 which, if I'm not mistaken coincides with the time I started messing around with changing display managers and ultimately booting to runlevel 3. As for the errors that appear to be generated while the window manager is running and are there waiting for me when I go back to text mode, I can't find them in any of the files. For example, when I exit Pekwm, there are some PyPanel errors that contain the path to my Python install. When I do a grep -r python /var/log/ The only hits I get back are from rpmdrake logs from the day I first installed the Python devel package. Anyway, I guess it's not that big of a deal if the majority of that stuff was canned text from kdm.log (although I'm curious as to what triggers that to be displayed and what it all means).

I want to know how I can capture all that info so that I can look at it after my session is over. I tried using the pause key to pause before the screen switches to graphics mode, but no dice.

RE: [newbie] Cron doesn't run for user
Do you set and export the DISPLAY variable? From an xterminal run: env | grep DISPLAY to see what it is set to. I would think that if you do startx as root then the crontab would have to be root's. Also, if your cron job fails you should get email. Check that for errors. Test your script. Open an xterm and type: unset DISPLAY then run your script. Does it work? Bill PS.

You can usualy depend on /bin;/usr/sbin, but anything else depends on how the script is being run. Hm.

Kinda Long! Mikkel L. Ellertson wrote: Lanman wrote: Well Folks, the Lanman has finally met his Waterloo! I'm trying to regain control over a network for a friend, but this thing has to be every SysAdmins nightmare come alive! My friend (Peter) has a small home network in a two-story house. 2 Macs, 3 Windows PC's (Don't ask, I'm working on that!), and a new Mandrake10.0 (Official)-Powered server that we just built to share files (Using Samba back and forth between all the systems as well as to firewall his systems and to handle Dynamic DNS, and also an ADSL connection. Here's where it gets interesting. While Peter had the Internet connection installed 18 months ago and he's been paying for it, he hasn't been using it. Instead, he's been connected to his brother's network and Internet service. I should mention that the brother lives on the first floor, while Peter is on the second floor. Both use the same ISP, and the same ADSL modems which have barely got any configuration options at all, and this is where the problems start. Since both modems run a DHCP server by default, I'm constantly running into problems. It's not possible to disable the DHCP server on either modem, or to reconfigure the modems to server IP addresses on different subnets. Since Peter's brother runs only Windows, and never updates his anti-virus programs, and since the two are constantly sharing files between the two LANS (which are currently running as one LAN on the same subnet), there have been quite a few infection-related problems, which have resulted in my trying to work out a viable solution. I should also mention that neither one wants to break their connection to the other as they have other files that need to be shared as well. So, my solution to the problem, was to install 3 NIC's in the new server, and to use two different subnets. Since Peter has almost 400 Gigs of data stored on his brother's network, he needs access to that data. Switching Peter and his family to Linux on his PC's (and maybe the Mac's as well), is the next phase of this nightmare, but it should go a long way to solving some of the virus issues for the time being. So, I've set up Peter's new server so that it can run his ADSL connection from eth0, his LAN runs on eth1 (using a subnet of 10.0.0.0), and the third NIC connects to his brother's subnet (using a subnet of 192.168.0.0). Now comes the fun part. I've tried everything I could to find out how to run routing through the new server, but de-crypting the HOWTO's for IPROUTE2 is like speaking only Chinese when the book is written in Greek! Can someone shed a bit of light on this please? I'm using IPtables in Webmin (Praise the Powers that be and Jamie Cameron for creating Webmin), to configure the firewall. My plan is to block traffic from the brother's subnet after the routing has been configured, while still allowing Peter to access his data on the brother's LAN. In essence I should be able to DENY, DROP or REJECT anything coming from downstairs, while allowing Samba, Netatalk and Appletalk to see the shares downstairs. I'm not expecting troubles from that aspect of the setup, but I can't get a handle on routing with this no way, no how. I currently have a brain full of too much useless knowledge about routing because none of the documents I've found even try to provide a step-by-step process. They mostly seem to be concerned about explaining the theory, instead of the practical aspects. Sorry this post is so long, but I wanted to explain all the things I'm facing in a clear manner. I'd appreciate any help that can be offered! Thanks in Advance, and sorry to make your collective heads hurt on a weekend! This one has me stumped. Lanman I take it you are running a DHCP server on the Linux box. For the upstairs system, things will be fairly simple. But the downstairs system, the one that uses its own ADSL connection, it gets harder. This is because it will try and send anything that is not on the 192.168.0.0 network through the ADSL modem. It will be able to talk to the Linux box, but not the machines behind it. You can solve some of this by having the Linux box masquarde (spelling) the connection to the lower floor, as well as the dns connection. You will also have to use a non-standard netmask for the

You can learn an awful lot about Linux by exploring the configuration files in the /etc folder, but of course for a newbie it is awfully conforting to be able to use a GUI to configure your system. Network Hotplugging is a daemon which looks for Ethernet heartbeats. Most Ethernet cards are able to detect electrical signals which indicate that there is another ethernet device on the other end of the cable (MII). If Network Hotplugging is enabled your system will automatically up an interface when the heartbeat is detected, and will down it if the heartbeat disappears. This is especially good for laptops because it means you can just plug in the Ethernet cable, and within a few seconds you are connected to the network. The downside of hotplugging is that there are a few devices which will get confused and end up in the wrong mode, and some devices do not support it at all. Hence the ability to disable it.

RE: [newbie] local lan problem
As far as I can see, everything looks ok. Of course, that's what you said but it doesn't hurt to see the output. When you said "On the hub side the light never did come on showing that there was a connection." this could indicate that you may have a dead port on the hub or be plugging it into the uplink port. If you are using the uplink port you need a cross-over cable. Have you tried plugging the LM box into one of the working ports Windows is using? When you ping, do the hub lights blink?

All the computers talk to each other and everything with the local lan works fine (so far). I run into problems when i try to use DialD to perform the on demand dialing though. Currently i can log in from any of the computers and use '/sbin/ifup ppp0' to start my ppp link to my ISP and then everything works fine with masquerading, etc. I cannot get diald setup to detect when one of the computers calls for a connection to the ISP though. I know there is something with diald that requires it to be setup with a series of ipchains so that the computers are not masq'd to begin with so diald can get the message that it needs to call the ISP and then it starts the ipchains rules for masq'ing. I havent gotten this part figured out and would greatly appreciate it if anyone could offer any advice on this.

RE: [newbie] STILL cannot mount floppy or cdrom drive!! HELP
OK, I'll take a stab at this. As I have read, to use and IDE cd-rom burner you have too load ide-scsi, right? Well, now the cd-rom drive is no longer /dev/hdc but /dev/scd0 or something. \ If this is true you need to delete /dev/cdrom and create a symlink: ln -s /dev/scd0 /dev/cdrom and don't forget to change /etc/fstab OR undo the ide-scsi stuff. I don't have a cd burner on my linux box, so your mileage may vary. There are several people on the list with IDE burners. Would one of you please step forward and help this guy out?

Also when going to cdburning program, the cdrom drive is definitely recognized, and even shows contents of an inserted CD when browsing in the program. Also when using the make boot floppy GUI tool the floppy will in fact work fine, but on my own it will not. BIG NOTE HERE:I am having also Identical problem with the floppy, it too also has icon with lock on it. Now this the problem that I am having. As a result the rpmdrake cannot find the cdrom.. Thus I am unable to install rpm, and I am unable to look at any cd or floppy, and it is getting more urgent to be able to do this.. MY assumption is that this problem has something to do with "supermount". Addendum: I have been to the mandrake url for cdburner help at http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/demos/Tutorial/CDburner/pages/ and have performed the command lines exactly as stated. This has had no effect on the problem I am having with the ability to mount the cdrom drive. This also has not done anything to help with the identical problem with mounting the floppy drive. Obviously it is some kind of bug or flaw in the supermount, or I am just an idiot. I have become so furious at this problem I have considered just putting windoze back. If SOMEONE ANYONE out there could help me troubleshoot this mounting problem I would really appreciate it. I have gone and reviewed so many docs and info on mounting in linux it makes my head spin.
