Re: Problem with system time

2002-12-06 Thread Steven G. Taylor
To set the current time without using ntpd you can do this:


example: ntpdate clock.psu.edu

Then to save that into your bios clock you need to do this:


That will save it to bios so your time will be correct after rebooting.

Actually my problem with html email isn't the bandwidth, Its that the
text is always too darn small to read. I have my fonts set perfectly for
me and when someone slips in an html email I ignore it rather strain
eyes trying to read it.

This is incorrect. ext2 and ext3 will support "filesystems" up to 2TB
and files up to 4TB. No thats not backwards and yes its odd that a file
can be up to 4 terrabytes and a filesystem only 2, but thats what it is.

However the "application" that your using might not support large files,
For instance perl hasn't had large file support until very recently.

Re: 100 zip drive

2002-09-12 Thread Steven G. Taylor

Type this as root:

mkdir /mnt/zip
mount -t vfat /dev/hdd4 /mnt/zip

Then if no errors you can see your files in /mnt/zip

Sounds like there are other problems, but if there isn't this should
work fine.

If you want help with the tuxmonkey (issue tracker) I cannot promise
anything, but if you mail the developer he is generally a nice guy (I
work with him) and he might throw you a pointer here and there. With the
appropriate modules you would not have to read /etc/shadow as thats what
the modules do for you with the assistance of pam.

There are a couple module out that will allow you to authenticate against 
PAM through PHP.  One of them can be found at:

http://www.math.ohio-state.edu/~ccunning/pam_auth.html

This one just does a simple TRUE/FALSE authentication, it will not return 
any information about the user.  There is also a link on the page to 
another PAM module for PHP that you might want to check out.

Currently..no, but it is in php and already uses md5 passwords it

Re: Trouble ticket system

2002-09-07 Thread Steven G. Taylor

If your looking for a good "issue tracker" I suggest you take a look at
this: 

TuxMonkey Issue Tracker is a helpdesk application. The database layer
has support for both PostgreSQL and MySQL. Features include file
uploads, multi group interface, escalation of tickets/issues between
groups, system announcements, email interaction, email notifications,
SMS notifications, and much more. 

Runs on php and PostgreSQL or MySQL and is GPL. 

I use it every day and love it. (I guess that makes me biased) :)
