Re: [newbie] Visio replacement
So is there a Visio-like tool for Linux or not? I'd like to know, too. Thanks. Gerry At 11/16/00 02:05 PM, you wrote: Hi all..

Re: [newbie] error sharing home directories in samba
[homes] is a special share. You don't need to specify a path to the files. My samba share looks like this: [homes] comment = personal files browseable = no read only = no create mode = 0754 # so files created in the user's public web directory are readable by others Gerry At 10/26/00 08:29 AM, you wrote: \\LINUX\%U is not accessible the share name was not found! be sure you typed correctley. my smb.conf looks like this [homes] comment = home directories path = /home/%U read only = No browseable = No Information System Specialist, Mennonite Central Committee Bangladesh
Re: [newbie] apache
Do you have an index.html page in the directory you have defined as the user dir? Gerry At 10/26/00 03:17 AM, you wrote: What's the 'trick' to getting a user dir to work in apache? I keep getting 'forbidden' no matter what I try. I've tried to set the user dir at 755, grp=users the public htm dir is 755 and the index file is 644. What do you have to do to a default 7.1 install to make ~user work? Information System Specialist, Mennonite Central Committee Bangladesh
[newbie] difficulty accessing files from one server to another
I have two servers (A and B), one whose role is a file server (B). It has the /home filesystem. The other server (A) mounts the /home directory from this server. I'm having problems with security when trying to access these files from A. When I am root, and do a ls /home/gerry -l command, I get a lot of permissions denied. The other thing is I have Apache running on A. I have set up a public_html directory in my home directory. I used to be able to access these files via the web server, but now I always get "permission denied" errors. Here is what "mount" shows: dataserver:/home on /home type nfs (rw,rsize=1024,wsize=1024,hard,intr,addr=192.168.0.3) One other thing: when I shutdown or restart A, and it attempts to unmount /home, I get a "Cannot MOUNTPROG RPC: RPC: Program not registered" How can I get around this? Setup: 1. both servers have the same passwd, shadow, group, gshadow files. 2. the mount command in fstab is 3. the 'other' attribute on all files and directories in the public_html folder is set to read-only.

[newbie] Installing additional components after installation
I'm more familiar with SuSE, which uses YAST/2 for a setup tool. With it I can check what programs are installed, do a search of other packages to install, and install something off of a CD. What is the standard tool for this in Mandrake? RPM? Thanks, Gerry
