RE: [newbie] Recovering erased folders and files
There are a few howto's on the net but usually it is impossible to do. You have to generally know the area (inodes) on the HD that the files were on and you read a hex dump of those inodes to verify and then you cat that information to a file that you want to save it in. I have read a few howtos but i have never tested it and i think this is the only way unless you have a trash program installed before you delete such files. http://recover.sourceforge.net/linux/ http://lde.sourceforge.net/ http://www.r-tt.com/RLinux.shtml Rob -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Piero Piutti Sent: Friday, March 14, 2003 2:45 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [newbie] Recovering erased folders and files Yesterday I accidentally erased my Documents folder from my home dir while doing some tweaking with my newly installed Kde 3.1 desktop enviroment.

The day before yesterday I hosed my PRIMARY linux box - running RH 7.3+. Because the partition table was mucked up beyond recognition, I lost my email, bookmarks, contacts, yadda yadda yadda...you name it, I lost it. Mind included. Resolution to the issue was at first trying to get RH 8.0 on NICELY - didn't work. Actually, the performance was so lousy, and setting up a SIMPLE BLOODY HCF MODEM was so complex, I gave up. It was sickening. Hours gone for nothing. Ok - so now I've installed MDK 9.1rc2 - installation of EVERYTHING (and some) was less than an hour. Even setup my / and other FS's as ReiserFS without a hitch. Changed to the NVidia driver (via source compilation) in no time at all. Had to dig for KPPP, though - cuz it wasn't installed by default and the MCC still don't play nicely for doing simple setups - but that's another story...even got my IP masquerading done rather quickly - few minutes - nice. I have to say that KDE 3.1 is a beaut. MDK 9.1 has quite a bit of polish, quite a bit of performance - quite a lot of getting used to because, remember, I was enslaved to the RH world - but no mo. Nada. Done. Finito.

I created a new vm w/ 176mb ram and 4g space. The HD was setup ok inside the VM, but the cdrom was set to IDE, so i disabled the IDE cdrom and enabled the scsi cdrom with the options below. The devices are setup as: scsi 0:0 virtual disk 4g space scsi 0:2 cdrom /dev/scd0 I turn on the VM and it finds my proc and ram then shows: Mouse enabled ERROR 02B1: Diskette Drive B Error then states F1 to continue or F2 for setup. If i do F1 it states no OS found and states A bootable cdrom/fdd/hd was not detected, please make sure the media is in and restart. When i do F2 there is no info on my scsi deviecsDUH b/c my 2940u2w has its own scsi bios where you have to enable the bootable devices at. They are setup correctly in the scsi bios. I have my Win2k Pro cd in the cdrom drive. I have tried it unmounted AND mounted.

RE: [newbie] MDK 9.1 ProSuite/PowerPak release info
Whoah! KLet's be clear about what you are all talking about. Win4Lin does not care what the filesystem is, because it uses the Linux kernel to handle that. This allows you to install Windows on any filesystem supported by Linux. if Win4Lin could not support NTFS it is because Linux did not support NTFS. Win4Lin does not support the NT based version of Windows right now, only the 9x series. This is not because of the filesystem, but because of the structure of the OS itself. MMM, after looking at it more closely i am finding out that Win4Lin is not what i thought it was. Maybe i just never even went to their site and actually read what it really did and i just assumed it was just another vmware. OK, great. Back to square one.

[newbie] [OT] true alcohol stories...please read
I was taking a friend home Wednesday evening when on the radio was a commercial type thing that reported a Sophomore in Lake Travis High School was in a drunk driving accident. He had 2 friends with him who were killed instantly when they hit another car head on, the driver of the other vehicle was killed as well. The only surviving person was the student that was drunk, due to the burns from the accident, he has no nose and ears, nor does he have ANY use of his hands, has NO hair, and his face was completely destroyed. 40 surgeries to this student has not helped over the years. My friend whom I was taking home stated that she went to high school with him and knows him personally. After the ad was over we had kept talking about it and she stated that the student drunk driver was 5 times over the legal Texas limit for alcohol consumption. She also stated that for killing 3 people while being 5 times over the legal limit got him 7 years...ONLY 7 YEARS...in Huntsville (Texas' state prison just north of Houston). Another story. I recently had a temporary bar job. The first day there was a story going that the bar owner told us that needs to be taken to heart. One of the regulars to the bar left one night and was in a car wreck. I do not know the damage of what happened but he was in the hospital for 1.5 weeks. Legally it was the bars job to take his keys away. After that night I have seen several times where the bartenders do take the keys away until the customer is sober. The moral of these true stories is I do not care if you drink...but give up your keys if you drove. Be responsible, be an adult. If you drink you take on these responsibilities automatically.

RE: [newbie] iptables stopped
Firewalling/packet filtering/NAT is compiled into the Linux Kernel, it is not a service. You don't start it, you just configure it for operation. The iptables package that you installed is only a user-space configuration utility - again not a service. I would not worry if iptables does not show correctly in the mcc service section. There are web sites that can test your system for firewalling capabilities, for example www.pcflank.com. You might try one of those with iptables enabled and disabled. If you have IPTables installed as an rpm then it is a service. It should not be a server. It should be DLed (the source) along with the kernel source and recompiled. Unless you have DLed the sources like this and reconfigured everything yourself then it is installed as an rpm/server like he states. Uninstall iptables/ipchains and then DLed/install the sources. Its much better and you can see the list of rules/chains with iptables -L. If nothing is listed then nothing is loadedthis doesnt matter how you have it installed.

No.
If so, can you make the two virtual machines talk to each other?
Yes, its called virtual networking, read up on it on www.vmware.com or
whatever software your running, user-mode-linux.com is another but it wont

RE: [newbie] ARTICLE: Windows Update security unveiled
That's the main reason that this machine is now 100% Linux. I've paid for all my previous Windows installs, but XP was a step too far. I decided to get off the wagon and get onto one going in a direction I agreed with. For those of you who dual boot, for GOD sakes, buy a $60 computer off ebay and save your self the hassle of rebooting and get the $50 belkin switch for 2 computers to one keyboard/mouse/monitor. My god. The only MS Windows I have ever paid for was the Win95 that came on my first computer, Compaq 7180...p100 w/ 8mb ramwhich was preinstalled before all this preinstall shit came about. Ever since then i have gotten it free from the companies that i work for. Actually I have gotten everything since Win98 free from MS themselves. Other than the Compaq box, I paid $40 for Office XP Pro that came with an $80 mouse (retail is was $80) and Office XP and a shirt came for freethis was 1.5 years ago when i worked for Dell Linux Server Support..HA. Win98, Win98Se, Office 2000, Win2kall free from MS directly, or through CompUSA whom i actually got it from through MS via retail Not-For-Resale kits. Thank god I am in the computer industry.

FW: [newbie] ARTICLE: Windows Update security unveiled
Forgot to say thanks for this info Stephen. Rob I agree with Stephen on this one as well. How often does MS change their EULA? EVERYDAY. How often does MS change the story on what they are doing? EVERY MINUTE. I cant stand MS anymore. I never have liked the company, only the software which is basic and easy to use (in most cases). To the question of Is there cause to worry? YES, WHY DO YOU THINK HE POSTED THIS INFO??? Its all about users privacy and truth from companies. If i knew that MS was doing this then it would have been ok b/c i would have agreed to it if i kept using it. I have been wondering where the little banner that information isnt being passed onto MS went...into their EULA which you have to read before updating your OS which is made insucure by the company for the FUCKING DOLLAR that they so have to have. This is one thing that i have hated ever since moving to Austin, TXGOD DAMN CORPORATIONS LYING TO EVERYONE. Corporations are about the fucking buck, nothing about the user/employee. It is about saving their ass in the short term and what will get them ahead of everyone else. That is why i like MDK so much is that they are a true company that is still giving their OS for free and we can decide to purchase if we want to. MDK might have money in the bank, BUT they keep trying to save their ass by letting the public know they are on the verge of losing it. Who is it that keeps MDK up and running IT IS US, the USERS of purchase and LOVE what they are doing for the OSS community who actually respect what they do. Ok, i am on a tangent.

RE: [newbie] IPTABLES rules for Direct Connect ?
shorewall has taken a bashing on this list, with many suggesting alternatives, eg gshield, guarddog, firestarter, etc. i just wanna relate my own good experience. i was trying to configure my mdk 9.0 box to share my internet connection with a small home network consisting of 3 win9x pcs and 2 linux boxes. i first used the internet connection wizard in mcc, which didn't work. went to www.shorewall.net, and the quickstart guide suggested the two interface config. instead of using it wholesale, i compared the config files, found a few differences, opened up the ports i needed, restarted shorewall, and it worked. the entire process took me around 15 mins, included reading the stuff at www.shorewall.net. i think the essential diff was mdk 9.0 tried to 3 zones in their shorewall config, while the two interface version of the quickstart guide used 2 zones. (if you dun understand what i'm saying, just spend a couple of mins with www.shorewall.net) i'm no expert, and i'm sure the mdk developers had a good reason to do what they did, but this setup worked easily for me. others trying to configure shorewall can also search the archives for a couple of extremely well written I do not doubt that Shorewall can run nicely once configured properly. I was meaning that my experiences with it (like most) are terrible. Most of my experiences with any firewall configurator sucks. Thats why i say go down to learning the actual rules and ways of iptables since it is directly in charge of it...not any of the GUI configurators.

This isn't meant as an insult ,so don't take it that way. You sound like others I have heard. Almost apologetic about the fact that some distros made a profit, or intend to. As though they have somehow soiled the O.S. movement with money. Profit is not a dirty word. It is a necessary thing in order to pay wages, build infrastructure, Do R D, build a better company, Do advertising, Secure a future, etc. It wouldn't bother me a bit if Mandrake had $40 billion in the bank, as it were. Provided they earned it honestly, And not through extortion, or other nefarious methods. Or engage in M$ tactics to further themselves among the other distros. If the above came, or comes to pass. I would drop Mandrake faster than I dropped Microsoft. Because Mandrake has an example of what not to do. It isn't right of M$ to do these things, Not because they are M$, But because this behaviour isn't morally justifiable. I totally agree with them making a profit or if they had billions in the bank.

RE: [newbie] ECS K7S6A motherboard problem with NIC
I spent now so much time on trying to have this board to work that I'm at the point of giving up. First a little bit of back ground, I installed mandrake 9.0 in my box: ECS K7S6A Athlon xp 1800 256 MB ram NIC 3com 905 TX Personally i will not buy ESC b/c they have jumpers to screw with. I have not built a computer myself unless it is jumperless b/c of these types of issues, plus there is more control of certain devices. and everything was working except the NIC. I emailed the newbie mailing list to have some help (which was greatly appreciate by the way) and after trying different setting it still doesn't work. I am fairly sure that it's a motherboard problem because I tried different NICs without any success and my 3com works on another PC running mandrake 9.0. First off, what is the NIC sharing an IRQ with? That makes a huge difference. Even though NIC's can NOT share IRQ's period. I have seen this and be the cause of so many things when i worked at Dell Server Support, Linux and Windows. You can also tell the kernel to give the NIC a certain IRQ if neededin /etc/modules.conf on the ethx line just put irq=X...X being the IRQ you want it to have. I tried to install with USB,serial and parallel ports, soundcard disable to free a maximum of IRQ, tried different PC slots and none of that has worked. Did you atleast disable serial and parrallel ports and all things NOT needed first? Do I waste my time with this board and should I consider getting another one? Personally i would buy an A-Bit or Asus, they are the best that i have worked with. Then again they are the only boards i have bought to build my systems with. What else could I do to have the NIC having his own irq to check that this is no the problem? Disable everything on the MB that you dont need, then go from there. I saw from the hardware list that mandrakelabs has certified the k7S6A under Mandrake-Linux prosuite Edition 8.2, could it be that Mandrake 9.0 is not working properly with my board? I doubt 9.0 is the issue, then again i have heard of other issues not working due to some differences... Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

On Sunday 02 Mar 2003 10:08 am, Richard Urwin wrote: I was trying to install the latest sources of Glade, and found that it needed a newer version of GTK+ v2 than the mdk9.0 default install provides.

If I try to uninstall GTK+ v2 dpmdrake tells me (understandably) that it will have to uninstall a huge number of applications. I am sure there is a simple way to do this, but in this case learning by trial and error is likely to involve trashing a lot of functionality. So - How do I upgrade a shared library under the noses of dozens of apps that are dependent on it? And what is this likely to do to rpmdrake's database? Thoughts: why would you need to recompile anything enless its not in RPM form. If you redo your glib and glibc your kinda fucked. Everything on your system requires the version that you have installed b/c they are compiled against that version. 2 versions of glib installed is b/c one is in source form and one is in rpm form. You kinda screwed yourself. If you uninstall any window widget you will be uninstalling 90% of your GUI. You update a shared library by updating it via rpm's.

RE: [newbie] port monitor sought
Have you tried firestarter? It's quite simpler than ZoneAlarm --it only has two tabs, one which reports connection attempts and blocked packets, and the other inside of which you can create rules for your firewall http://firestarter.sf.net Ok, this is what initially got me into Linuxfirewalling and security. I am not saying i am the shit. God knows that i am not. I am just saying this is a HUGE field that you actually got to do the research yourself b/c there are so many capabilities of apps out there. Also, i am not stating that Damien is incorrect in his information. Firestarter is not a port monitor. It is a front end to IPTables. IPTables is a firewall. If your wanting a port monitor look into Snort or other IDS (intrusion detection system). Snort is the best IDS out there, with options of a firewall. If your wanting a firewall then go with IPtables. If you go with IPTables and you want a GUI configurator then go with Firestarter. The difference being: firewall: you setup to block/allow certain packets going in/out of certain ports. For instance, if you have a web server but not an ftp server, you allow port 80 and block port 21. IDS: you look at each packet and see if the insides look like an attack that is defined by your ruleset. For instance, if you have an ftp server you obviously allow port 21 BUT you look at each packet and see if it contains malformed packets that would possibly look like a DDoS or something else where the intruder is trying to actually attack the ftp server to grab your /etc/passwd file. Thats more or less security of the FTP server BUT it can be configured in your IDS rules. Just remember that a port monitor and a firewall are totally different. IPTables and Snort can actually do monitoring and firewalling BUT IPTables is made for firewalling and Snort is made for IDS. If your wanting port monitor then Snort would be it. http://www.snort.org for cabled networks http://airsnort.shmoo.com for wifi For IP Tables and firewall http://www.netfilter.org Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] port monitor sought
Well, i made my suggestion only because he was asking for a ZoneAlarm-like program. As you may already know, ZA is a software firewall for Win32, it notifies you of blocked connections as they happen, and can be set up with simple rules. To my eyes, iptables + firestarter are pretty much the same thing, with the only difference that ZA is application-based (i.e. whenever an app wants to access a network interface you are presented with the option to allow that process or not) and Iptables is purely rule-based. I agree with you stating that Firestarter is good for that. I have used it when i started to evolve in the beginning. It was broken half the time. Then again i should probably start playing some of the new versions to give it a fair shot. You are correct and i will agree with you stating that it would be the best for a beginner looking for something like ZA for Linux. Its just a huge field where it took me about 6 months to fully understand the concept of all the firewalling/IDS stuff and what is what and who does what.

[newbie] user mode linux question
I have played with UML with the basic FS's that are on their site. I have actually DLed the MDK 8.2 FS on their site and tested it on my MDK9 box. It came up with a bunch of errors, guessing b/c my box is all scsi. Ok, down to the real issue. The UML docs state you can install a distro into its own space and run it inside the main OS. Like i have MDK9 installed, i could (supposedly) install RH8 into its own FS and run it on the same box. This is very similar to VMWare, just not really. I have asked on the mIRC channels for UML and on their mailing list and that went no-where. Has anyone done this with UML or Vserver??? TIA Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] DIRECT CONNECT active mode and SHOREWALL
Wouldn't it be easier, cheaper and wiser to ditch Shorewall and either manually edit the iptables scripts to allow for either ports to be opened or ports to be closed? Initially learning the basics to ipchains or iptables is a great thing for anyone to KNOW - as it is their city wall - and knowing where breaches in this wall are, or where to create strategic breaches is something I would suggest to everyone that has a *nix box. I agree. I have read over the IP Tables info ever since NetFilter started and its the first thing that i disable/uninstall on a box. If i want it then i install a new kernel with it built in and then do the config manually. There cant be anything said for doing the GUI vs scripting when it comes down to knowing what the hell is going on. Aside from learning the basics to ipchains/iptables, you also start to encompass the simplicity of ip masquerading - otherwise known in the M$ world as internet connection sharing and how that can be used to bridge networks - virtual and physical. IF you know what to do and are armed with the knowledge, it takes merely minutes to have your ports opened or closed for whatever reasons - and to have sharing turned on - it's truly amazing how simple it is - why do you think M$ has on Win98 thru WinXP? If it was complex, they'd charge for it. Because it's such a simple exercise, though, they've stolen the basics from *nix and added it as a feature. I agree. Even including Cisco routers. My roommate has a Cisco 2500 up and running and always has to consult me on wtf his rules are doing for his ACL's b/c he doesnt understand the basics of his rules. Why he has a Cisco router up instead of me using my p266 when I KNOW IPTables? He needs to learn Cisco for certs Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Apache and running cgi scripts
Apache and Perl/Mod_perl are installed. The perl scripts work it i run perl zipcodes.cgi. Basically i am going through Graid Hunts Apache Server 1st Edition by Charles Aulds. The scripts work fine, they arent the issue. Basically you type in a zip code into the text box and then it runs a perl script (zipcode.html runs zipcodes.cgi after inputing a zipcode into a text box and clicking submit), which then access the MySQL server on the localhost. The user/group apache owns all files in /home/httpd (this is not internet accessible since i have another box running my outside sites) and the permissions are set to 777. The problem that i am having is that when i click submit it comes up to a screen stating You do not have permission to access /zipcodes.cgi on this server. # tree /home/httpd/ /home/httpd/ |-- cgi-bin | `-- zipcodes.cgi |-- html | `-- www | `-- zipcode.html `-- perl `-- cgi.pm My httpd.conf and commonhttpd.conf are attached for info on how i have apache setup. ]# rpm -qa|grep apache|sort apache-1.3.26-6.1mdk apache-common-1.3.26-6.1mdk apache-conf-1.3.26-3mdk apache-mod_perl-1.3.26_1.27-7mdk apache-modules-1.3.26-6.1mdk # rpm -qa|grep perl|sort apache-mod_perl-1.3.26_1.27-7mdk libpgperl-7.2.2-1.2mdk mod_perl-common-1.3.26_1.27-7mdk perl-5.8.0-13mdk perl-Authen-PAM-0.13-3mdk perl-base-5.8.0-13mdk perl-CGI-2.810-3mdk perl-Crypt-SSLeay-0.45-1mdk perl-Data-ShowTable-3.3-7mdk perl-DateManip-5.40-4mdk perl-DB_File-1.804-3mdk perl-DBI-1.30-2mdk perl-devel-5.8.0-13mdk perl-Expect-1.15-2mdk perlftlib-1.2-16mdk perl-GTK-0.7008-24mdk perl-GTK-GdkImlib-0.7008-24mdk perl-GTK-GdkPixbuf-0.7008-24mdk perl-GTK-Glade-0.7008-24mdk perl-GTK-GLArea-0.7008-24mdk perl-GTK-Gnome-0.7008-24mdk perl-HTML-Parser-3.26-3mdk perl-HTML-SimpleParse-0.10-7mdk perl-HTML-Tagset-3.03-5mdk perl-IO-stringy-2.108-4mdk perl-IO-Stty-02-2mdk perl-IO-Tty-1.02-3mdk perl-libwww-perl-5.65-4mdk perl-Locale-gettext-1.01-6mdk perl-MailTools-1.47-1mdk perl-MDK-Common-1.0.3-16mdk perl-MIME-tools-5.411-4mdk perl-MP3-Info-1.01-2mdk perl-Msgcat-1.03-12mdk perl-Mysql-1.22_19-5mdk perl-Net_SSLeay-1.18-3mdk perl-Parse-RecDescent-1.80-6mdk perl-PDL-2.3.3-4mdk perl-Term-Readline-Gnu-1.12-6mdk perl-Tk-800.023-9mdk perl-URI-1.20-1mdk perl-URPM-0.70-10mdk perl-XML-Parser-2.31-5mdk perl-XML-Twig-3.05-4mdk TIA Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

So you are working on the same databases with the same privilege settings. I figured this but wasnt for sure. What do you mean by that? The database *files* should be under /var/lib/mysql. That you have some DB is obvious by the fact that you once managed to login (without any database, you would get something like could not find file 'host.frm as error). Meaning i did NOT create a DB or do ANYTHING except change the root password within MySQL. Its the learning curve kicking in...

I thought this would have been a required package to be installed by default but its not installed. I have been browsing through my RH security book Red Hat Linux Security and Optimization by Mohammed Kabir. I was actually going through the RH8 security section on NFS and it pointed to securing portmon which pointed to tcpwrappers. I then looked in the book to find more detailed info than what i was finding on websites about NFS/tcpwrappers and it showed that xinetd should be compiled running the configure script with --with-libwrap=/usr/libwrap.a. So i looked for the file libwrap.a to see if it was installed and no it was not. I then looked to check to see if tcpd (tcpwrappers) was installed and no it was not. I was wondering why this was so.

I'd tend to reckon because MDK is being designed and marketed as a desktop distro instead of a server distro - hence the emphasis on desktop stuff and not on dev stuff or server security stuff...but that's on my eyeballs... True. But there are still some security measures that you would want to be able to take. Win2k/XP/etc has IIS installed on them to be servers. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] sound in MDK9
I have finally installed a soundcard (Live Value) into my linux boxthere is a first for everything. I installed the XMMS rpm and it plays sound fine. The only problem is when i switch to my windows box the windows box plays sound LOUDER than my linux box. I know that when i had windows on box boxes and souncards running in box this box that linux is on played louder then the other box b/c the LIVE card is more amplified than my A7V333 soundcard. Other than on the XMMS display, is there anyother place in linux to adjust the sound like in windows you have the speaker in the system tray AND the volume coming from the program (winamp in this case). I do not see any in the menusconfiguration Any thoughts? Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [newbie] letting users use root commands
My issue is resolved. i had tried this before but didnt work at the time rpmdrake has 755 permissions on it by default. I had to change this to 775 AND add the user to wheel group. Also i checked the groups out by group username and made sure i was listed as correct Working fine. Thanks for the help Stephen. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] sound in MDK9
In KDE: K - multimedia - sound -kmix. Great, thanks. Working. Now its blowing MS out of the water. Also can be used in Gnome. Just type kmix in the CLI and an icon window opens. Right click it and select configure kmix. Also left click it shows the master volume. Thanks Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [newbie] Update database
I thought I had set up a cron job (using webmin) to update the database every night. Indeed, I thought I had seen indication that it had run, but today I have seen slocate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old How can I find what went wrong? Could it be that I have set it as a user and it needs to be root? This is to update locate's database, not the RPM database. Do you know this? To update RPM's database run rpm --rebuilddb, rpm --initdb to create a new database. Just making sure you know which one your updating. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [newbie] KDE3.1 for MD = 8.1?
Will there ever be a KDE3.1 version released for 8.x? Get the src files and rebuild them. Rob Even guys that started of with 9.0 now have to be club members to get kde3.1. This is a sad development. I see Mandrake more and more slip away from being a free os distributor. I understand they have difficulties so I payed for a regular membership myself for 2 years in a row now. You get very little with this. But more and more the regular users are left out. This is very sad I find. I starts to stink for $s. Yes, i see this happening more myself.

RE: [newbie] Tkinter widget layout question
I have ordered books about this, but they take a while before they get here and I would like to get along a little in the mean time. (I know, patience is a virtue. ;) Instead of waiting on them i usually go to BN store or something and read them till i get them. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Win2k/XP/etc has IIS installed on them to be serversdo you consider this a good thing? or a secure thing? M$ knows nothing about security. I dont even think its in their dictionary. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [newbie] choosing a new hostname
I'm just a desktop user running MDK 9 but I would like to change the hostname that appears by default. [cyberhades@localhost cyberhades]$ Is it possible and easy ? hostname new-hostname will do it until you reboot. If youw ant to change it for good edit /etc/sysconfig/network. Then just service network restart. I have done this many times and it works fine. Rob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

RE: [newbie] This is getting way out of hand
Another thing, when is america going to compensate the families of those who died in the terrorist attacks in england at the hands of the IRA which america supported, funded and supplied military weapons to for decades??? When is Germany and the Axis powers from WWII going to compensate the entire world for what they did? Might want to think about that one first.

RE: [newbie] Update database
I'm running updatedb - is this not right? What are you trying to update? RPM or the locate command DB? From the man page of updatedb: updatedb - update the slocate database The slocate DB is not the same. They have entirely 2 different jobs and functions. locate uses the DB created by updatedb, which is just a small DB of all files on the entire system at the time updatedb was ran. rpm --rebuilddb rebuilds the DB for the RPM's that are installed and everything that is included in rpm files.
