Re: [PLUG] When {[right question] >= (useful answer)} ?
As root: create a directory in your partition. Then set ownership, group
and permissions to that directory, allowing users to write into the
directory (ies).
Hope it helps,

Using GParted I created an ext4 partition labeled "owlcommon".
I added the following line to fstab:
LABEL=owlcommon /home/richard/Documents/tst_common ext4 rw,user 0 0
On reboot it does appear in the expected file system location.
*BUT* it is locked {owned by root with users only able to read}
I would like all users to have unrestricted access.

But GParted won't label a FAT partition.
Used "fatlabel" to label it.
Edited fstab:
LABEL=owlcommon /home/richard/Documents/tst_common vfat
user,rw,umask=000 0 0
Tested by editing the fstab of another Debian instance.
Both can read/write that directory.
When I have time I'll test on another machine which can multi boot

lower case label. But my immediate problem is solved.

It was suggested in another forum that I (as root) do: dpkg-reconfigure debconf dpkg-reconfigure mariadb-server The first appeared to run. The second did nothing. No warnings. No error messages. Just returned to prompt. Ideas. TIA When installing MariaDB SQL server on Debian you actually have to run a setup script to get a production ready system you can actually connect to and start using. After installing mariadb-server from APT you need to run a script as root called mysql_secure_installation. It should ask you some basic questions like what should the root login be, delete test database, and deny anonymous remote logins. after you do that just run the client, mysql and starting sending your SQL commands. If you need a good resource on SQL commands W3schools has a really good desk reference at https://www.w3schools.com/sql/ . If you plan on using this beyond just playing around with it be sure to setup an actual login for you SQL server. Running as root is typically a bad practice.

After installing mariadb-server from APT you need to run a script as root called mysql_secure_installation. It should ask you some basic questions like what should the root login be, delete test database, and deny anonymous remote logins. after you do that just run the client, mysql and starting sending your SQL commands. If you need a good resource on SQL commands W3schools has a really good desk reference at https://www.w3schools.com/sql/ . If you plan on using this beyond just playing around with it be sure to setup an actual login for you SQL server. Running as root is typically a bad practice. ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

Re: [PLUG] Roll-your-own VPN server?
The tutorial at https://wiki.debian.org/OpenVPN is fairly easy to follow and will produce a nice stable VPN although you will need to tweak it some for specific situations. -- David On Wed, 2018-07-04 at 08:52 +0200, Tomas Kuchta wrote: > OpenVPN does what you need.

Tomas, My experiences are limited to the the two you mention here: Do you get response from customer support like the one mentioned by Rich couple of months ago or Melina Taylor lovelygirl...@lovelynsacusal.pw or ...? The latter, using several domain names, appeared only yesterday after my responses to a single thread. My mail logs show the former being rejected in response to others threads to which I've not contributed. I've added the latter name to the rejection list. Now and then I get similar spam messages from other mail lists so the situation is not unique to here. Rich ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
Re: [PLUG] When {[right question] >= (useful answer)} ?
This Richard is confused ;/
Using GParted I created an ext4 partition labeled "owlcommon".
I added the following line to fstab:
LABEL=owlcommon /home/richard/Documents/tst_common ext4 rw,user 0 0
On reboot it does appear in the expected file system location.
*BUT* it is locked {owned by root with users only able to read}
I would like all users to have unrestricted access.
If not possible, since "richard" has the same UID on all systems, I
would like "richard" to have full access AUTOMATICALLY.
IOW when I do a fresh install to another partition I want to write a
line to that system's fstab (or elsewhere) such that "richard"
automagically has full access.

wes,
I must have been undercafinated when I responded. Partitions are always
/dev/sd* (or similar) while file systems have names. It's been a hectic day
but I won't claim that as an excuse.
Best regards,

Re: [PLUG] Spammers on the plug list
The list admins are working on this issue. I was getting the ones from "Melina Taylor" today. I'm pretty sure the customer support ones from a few months ago weren't really spam, but just a case of emails being unintentionally routed to a support queue. Probably some IT worker was subscribed with his work email account, and then left that job and his emails were forwarded to the general support address. -wes On Wed, Jul 4, 2018 at 12:59 AM, Tomas Kuchta wrote: > We seem to have increased presence of spammers on the list either as > registered members or someone is compromised. > > Do you get response from customer support like the one mentioned by Rich > couple of months ago or Melina Taylor lovelygirl...@lovelynsacusal.pw or > ...? > > I get spam only when I post and I'm sure Gmail takes care of more then I > actually see. > > Who is the list maintainer to check the list for specific email addresses? > > Thanks, Tomas > ___ > PLUG mailing list > PLUG@pdxlinux.org > http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug > ___ PLUG mailing list PLUG@pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug

We seem to have increased presence of spammers on the list either as registered members or someone is compromised. Do you get response from customer support like the one mentioned by Rich couple of months ago or Melina Taylor lovelygirl...@lovelynsacusal.pw or ...? I get spam only when I post and I'm sure Gmail takes care of more then I actually see. Who is the list maintainer to check the list for specific email addresses?
