[expert] Hangul (Korean) character entry

2002-12-09 Thread Jones,Daniel E.
I am trying to set up my Linux KDE system to accept input of Hangul (Korean) characters. The motivation is to have a separate account for my Korean-born wife. Since I do not read Korean very well, my account has to continue to work in English. I have no problem getting the desktop and key

You don't recall the names of some of the files, do you? Whether a particular file being world-readable is a security problem depends entirely on which file it is. It is entirely possible that one of your applications is saving files with this permission. Did this occur shortly after you

I have a pretty plausible guess for what is going on, and it is not a compromise. First, all the files in /usr/share/apps/kcsd/cddb are related to the CD player that comes with KDE. (that's the kscd part.) CDDB is a database of track information on lots of CDs that can be accessed over the

[expert] X-windows for undocked/docked HP900 laptop

2002-04-16 Thread Jones,Daniel E.

Re: [expert] Measurable Firewall Rules

I think we may need a little more clarification on what is wanted. It seems to me that what is being asked is: * I have three sets of things: a firewall, a server, and a bunch of clients. * both the server and the clients are behind the firewall * how do I set up the firewall to permit access

Re: [expert] Accessing vfat partition

2001-09-24 Thread Jones,Daniel E.
You are correct, VFAT does not have the concept of owner, so Linux provides one. If you don't specify differently, that will be root. (more likely, it will be whoever executed the mount command - which usually must be root.) However, the mount command can be passed parameters that will set

Re: [expert] Accessing vfat partition

the umask=0,0,0 parameter is setting permissions to 777. Consequently anyone can create or edit the files. Errors would still be returned by applications that attempt to set the actual file owner. So you could a. just click through the warning b. modify the mount for each login. (won't work
