Above you say "switch knob". Does this mean you have one of those mechanical switches as opposed to an electrical KVM switch? If so, I'm surprised it worked on RH8. I had one of those a while back on a Linux/Windows setup and it was a 50/50 chance of it working after the switch. The way to get it working is to logout (if you can) which will cause the X-server to restart and bring back your mouse. Or if you can't logout then "ctrl-alt-bkspace" to kill the X-server. Bottom line.

AhhhI don't think I am wrongat least not when one looks at the scope of the original question being asked. Yes, you can boot the "real" disks with "raw disks". However, the question was using the "Geforce" video directly. I do not believe that is supported and based on this paragraph in the link you suggest... The issues arise because the virtual hardware that the operating system sees when it is running in a virtual machine is different from the physical hardware it sees when it is running directly on the host computer. It is as if you were removing the boot drive from one physical computer and running the operating system installed there in a second computer with a different motherboard, video card and other peripherals - then moving it back and forth between the two systems. That iswhen you run it in "real" mode you get the "real" video and driver. But, if you boot even with the "real" raw disks you get the VMware Video driver Ed -- http://www.shorewall.net Shorewall, for all your firewall needs -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Sureyou have set up a dual boot environment. Forget about what you have done in installing XP in /dev/hda1. VMWware doesn't look there as it creates its own set of "virtual disks". What you want to do is follow the documentation for VMware. Basically 1. Boot RH 9. 2. Install VMware from the RPM's. 3. Run the VMware configuration util. 4. Put your XP CD in your CD drive. 4. Start VMware. 5. VMware will (after you install your license I think) prompt you to create a new virtual machine. 6. Follow the prompts and install XP from there Ed -- http://www.shorewall.net Shorewall, for all your firewall needs -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Hi What SATA controller do you have? I'm looking to build a system that has a Silicon Image controller and found the following on their web site.

After rereading your previous email and the rest of this email I have a better understanding of your configuration.

Since you are talking about managing your iptables configuration via shorewall you should probably ask your question on that listbut Yes, both the samba protocols as well as the NFS protocols require that a given set of ports be opened on your firewall. The ports in question are all listed in the shorewall documentation. In what area do you need clarification? You seem to be saying that everything is working but you are getting dropped packet logs.

Running "make install" as root has nothing to do with setting the suid bit in the resulting binary. When the suid bit is set the permissions on a binary look like this... -r-sr-xr-x1 root root 125000 Feb 11 04:43 pwdb_chkpwd The purpose for running "make install" as root is normally to put binaries, libraries, etc., into directories where all users can access them but no user can modify/delete them. The way you are doing it is OK. However, if you have other users on your system it is doubtful they need access to the source. It is probably more common for people to put source in say ~/src, run make as a normal user, then run make install as root.

You *do not* need a subscription. If you have a subscription you will not get rejected during periods of high usage. If you read the "fine print" on RHN you'll find that everyone in entitled to a DEMO account. This gives you the right to use up2date on a single system.

Well.I'm scratching my head on this one. I did what I thought would work (and it works on my Solaris 8 box) but not on my RH 8. As root I took these 3 steps. 1. In /bin I "ln -s bash rbash" to create the symbolic link. 2. In /etc/passwd I changed the user's shell to /bin/rbash. 3. Added /bin/rbash to the /etc/shells file. Hu..need more coffee.

Pardon me for butting in herebut this is one of the reasons why I recommend the use of a good front-end to iptables. The syntax can be a bit much to learn/understand especially when you don't use it that often. Besides, if you are going to use iptables you may as well build up some decent firewall rules/policies as well to give yourself the protection that iptables was designed to provide. I'll only suggest using shorewall, http://www.shorewall.net, as this is my personal favorite. Easy to understand, good documentation, good examples, great help from their mailing list. One reason I like shorewall is that while it makes iptables easy it doesn't hide everything from you such that you can't learn what you've accomplished.

If you have not added any data to /export and /usr/local it is a simple matter of editing the /etc/fstab file to switch the mount points in the second column.

Pretty much normal. Chances are your registered just after you installed the system and hadn't made any changes to the /etc/hosts file such that localhost.localdomain was set to 127.0.0.1. Why bother to change it? It doesn't do anything for you to have it set "correctly".AFAIK. > ps. I thank you for all your help.

When you run the network configurator (GUI) you can edit the ppp0 interface and check the box that says "Allow all users to enable/disable the device".

Along with the other suggestions given to you it would probably be a good idea to look at which shell you want the user to run.

You don't have a definition for eth0. You have 2 identical definitions for eth2. And you are telling the system that the default gateway is via 192.168.3.10 out of eth0.

Can someone > give me an idea how they interact? Is there a need for both? Shorewall is a "frontend" to iptables. You install both iptables and shorewall. You read the Shorewall documentation and tailor its config files for you needs. On startup, Shorewall will generate the needed iptables commands based on your configuration. Once that is done, shorewall exits and only iptables contiues to run. Shorewall is text based config files. There is work (webadmin?) to get a GUI frontend to shorewallbut IMHO you don't learn that much about security that way. Shorewall makes iptables easy.

It can be done directly using the proper iptables command. I'm lazy, however. I run a firewall on my system and use "shorewall" as my tool to set it up.
