[newbie] Mounting Drives on other machines?!
Is there a way to mount a drive on another linux machine on my network? I have 4 other linux servers on my internal network. And having to ssh or ftp files back and forth is becoming an annoyance. Is there a way I can mount the drives from the other machines? Kinda like you would mount a network drive in windows? If it can be done..can someone point me in the right direction. h3rb Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://.mandrakestore.com
Re: [newbie] Audio CD's...I can't open them.
Both drives are less then 6 months old. The DVD player is a pioneer 115 16x drive. And the burner is an HP 9100+ Both drives work flawlessly with every other application. I can do everything they are supposed to do..except listen to audio cd's. h3rb On Thursday 16 August 2001 09:31, Sridhar Dhanapalan wrote: How old is the drive? Is it IDE?

[newbie] Multiple NIC's with Multiple dhcp connections!
I have 4 ethernet cards in my one server. Here's a breakdown of thier usage! eth0 = static IP from a cisco uBR 924. This is used for my web server/ftp server. eth1 = dhcp from another cable modem for a game server eth2 = dhcp from the cisco uBR924, internal network, for samba server eth3 = dhcp from another cable modem for another game server So I have a total of 3 'modems' that I am using for different things here. My problem is...is that using netconf in mandrake 8 only allows me, from what I can see, to setup one gateway. And this is the gateway of my static IP. I can only use one of the connections that are present at a time. If I setup the gateway for eth0 then only the web/ftp server works. If I setup eth1's default gateway then only the 1 game server works, and none of the other services work from the outside world. How do I configure these 4 ethernet cards so that they all act on thier own. eth1 and eth3 will be configured from dhcp and all traffic will go out to thier respective modem! Any help would be appreciated. Thx. h3rb

What is a CSS-encrypted DVD? Cryptanalysis of Contents Scrambling System CSS is a scrambling system used in the distribution for movies on DVD ( Digital Versatile Disc ) a high capacity CD like storage system. Its main purpose is to prevent the unauthorized duplication of disc contents. This is achieved through encrypting the files, and storing keys in hardware.

Re: [newbie] Remote access to Webmin
First you need to make sure that webmin is running. At a shell do a : /etc/init.d/webmin status if it comes up with: miniserv.pl is stopped Then webmin is not running. Do this at a shell to get it running (as root): /etc/init.d/webmin start Then it will print out: Starting Webmin [OK] And then to be sure it is running to this again: /etc/init.d/webmin status if webmin is running it will print out this: miniserv.pl (pid 1421) is running... (the pid will vary) There are many many ways to remotely control your machine, command line is all you need. Although webmin makes it alot quicker and easier because you can use it from any machine, even if it don't have an ssh client installed. If you want to use ssh you can run X through an X session, just make sure that x forwarding is enabled in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config. And you can even do this through windows. On my work windows machine I use a combination of SecureCRT and Reflective X. SecureCRT is a windows ssh/telnet client and Reflective X is a windows X server. Now if you are on dial up I do not suggest doing this because it consumes alot of bandwidth. h3rb On Monday 28 May 2001 11:57, David Travis wrote: I have webmin setup but I want to access it from another computer and I can not.
