When you installed the MS SFU NFS client how did you answer the Username Mapping Server question? I totally do not understand username mapping server and I am not sure if I need it. As the name implies, the username mapping server is used to match Windows user ID's to your *nix user ID (i.e. SID to UID matching). Without it, your Windows client will not be able to provide the NFS server with the proper UID. If your Windows box gets it's username from a Domain, you'll need to install the mapping server on one of your DCs and then point your workstation to the correct server. If it is a stand-alone machine (or if your using a local account), you'll need to install the username mapping locally. Thanks! As I am setting up read-only NFS exports applying restriction only on IP addresses, I just think perhaps I can forget all these authentication and authorization things. However so far I could not successfully connect SFU to ANY nfs server in my office, I tried opensuse, gentoo Linux and FreeBSD. SFU always ends up with a message from SFU: "Network Path Not Found." I tried these to get around the error message, all failed: How are you trying to connect to the NFS server? For me, I just right click on "My Network Places" and select "Map Network Drive". Then I enter the path (i.e. \\servername\share_name). When you click OK, you should get a "NFS Login Successful" dialog box that summarizes your current login credentials and asks if you'd like to accept the current login or change your login settings. Once finished, you should have a drive mapped to your NFS share. Strange, I used exactly the same way as you did to mount, in the first 2 days it wasn't successful, later it works.

I'd think you'd want to have the old kernel available in case the update bombs or doesnt work properly.

If you don't have Windows on the computer you are even better off. Most of the stuff can be faked, but most of the spammers and scripties are lazy sods, and they don't bother, so the headers are full of MS references .. linux , naturally puts in linux references. Take a look at em sometimes. Usually the first thing you notice is the reference to MS Outlook.. duh!

[opensuse] Grub won't boot Windoze
Hi folks! For some reason, Windoze has stopped booting on my system. I've had this machine for a couple years now, with WinXP sitting on a SATA physical drive and SUSE 10.0 - 10.2 on a separate IDE drive. I think the problem started when I got a portable USB drive that I had to turn off when rebooting (the BIOS would try to boot to it). I changed the BIOS so it would ignore the portable drive, boot to Grub (the IDE drive) first, then floppy, then CD. Now Grub loads fine, but selecting Windows from the menu displays the menu settings, and hangs. Here is the relevant portion of the Grub menu.lst: # Modified by YaST2.

There is not that much difference between SP1 and SP2 (The big difference is between Home edition and Professional Edition) I work with Pro at work. Every now and then someone will bring me their home computer to fix. I find as Administrator there are several tools missing if they have Home Edition.

I also suspect it means some ten to twelve thousand dollars additional hardware needed per site, say a quarter of a million dollars plus extra at the four centres and spares of course. I wouldn't of minded the change if the old way worked as well (dual modes) until things were changed with a boot script "software switch" I'd also would have liked some warning, (and I suspect others in the same boat would also have,) well in advance this type of change was going to happen, surely someone was aware this major change was coming and could have put out a notice to users/programmers. It's not as if this is a minor change hda has been around since the ST408/512 drive chains were created It means I have at least 200 hours of work ahead in mapping out the changes needed, let alone arranging things like programming, testing, reviewing, issuing, checking...etc., say another hundred or so thousand dollars Well there goes my holiday this year again, and just as I thought things were finally starting to slow down. I am suppose to be semi-retired It also means 10.2 will have to last at least two years when we implement it at Christmas 07, replacing 8 Maybe we should think sled, but we don't have the money for both, we are ?suppose to be self sufficent and non-profit! scsijon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Linux interoperability is still a bit of issue with Symbian, and if you are intending to use the phone as a modem you may need to install the Nokia modem driversI have my doubts that the above would work... begin:vcard fn:Graham T.
