Hi All, I have two system both MDK 8.1. I generally use webmail to administer them both. However the module 'fdisk' to view all the disk info on each machine does not work on one box. I have tracked the problem down to the webmin module checking '/proc/partitions'. it pulls out the data like:

[expert] Some msec weirdness

2002-08-03 Thread David Guntner
Well, I finally got around to reading the msec man pages and mandrakesecure.net article, and have made some changes. Something that's behaving a bit weird, however, is a couple of the parameters. In my level.local file, I have: from mseclib import * allow_reboot(1) allow_user_list(1)

I'm using Mozilla 0.9.8 on Mandrake 8.2 and generally like it quite well. I open a lot of what I hoped were separate instances. (I typically do this by pressing altF2 and then typing (or selecting) mozilla.) Then, in each separate instance, I open multiple tabs for related pages. PROBLEM: My

[expert] I think I found a bug in msec

2002-08-03 Thread David Guntner
In my earlier message, I noted that running msec after setting password_aging(-1) in the level.local file was giving a message, msec: unable to parse chage output, when running msec. The first time I ran it after setting that value, I didn't get the error message - only on subsequent runs.

Here's the patch that allows msec to accept -1 as the password's age. It was generated out of the discovery that webmin creates new user ids with -1 as their password age. Recent traffic indicates that there may be other ways to cause chage to complain about a -1 age (and hence cause msec to

Try using a temporary swapfile to increase swap and see if the problem goes away - if so your up for a re-partitioning. I regularly run out of swap with gnumeric (often uses over a gig of it) and a quick swapon saves the system from coming to an abrupt halt. Windows dynamic swap is actually a
