Re: [PLUG] Two factor hardware authentication on Linux

2014-10-24 Thread Jeff_W
I'd be interested. I'd also be interested, if possible, in using a generic USB storage device instead of a Yubi stick. I don't currently have a real need for two-factor authentication but recently experimented with just using a script launched from the $HOME/ssh/authorized_keys file to send a PIN

Recently switched to CenturyLink for my ISP and am not finding finding any SMTP server to relay through, even when connected through their gateway. A "chat" w/ a CL liveperson rep suggested that they only allow @centurylink.net accounts to use their out-going mail server(s) - that seems rather res

Was curious about this as I've never tried to print onto an envelope with my HPLJ 2100TN. Just tried it and it worked fine using the following: - OpenOffice.org Writer - Format>Page...>Page "Page Style" = "#10 Envelope" "Orientation" = "Landscape" - File>Pri

Not exactly what you asked for, but an X11 proxy server sounds like it could approximate the desired functionality. The Xdmx project is an example: http://dmx.sourceforge.net/ Another possibility might be to set the "shared" environment up as a two screen display, start up the client app and dra

Re: [PLUG] grub problems ...

2009-11-09 Thread Jeff_W
It sounds like you're mixing grubs; grub on your knoppix disc is probably "legacy grub" while ubuntu has moved to grub2. Probably you'll want to just do a clean install of ubuntu which will install grub2 and set it up. If you want to revert back to the old grub there is a wiki page on the ubuntu s

I tried clear a couple months ago. Dropped it for the following reasons: - signal becomes very unstable on windy days - can't change password on the Motorola WiMAX router - SSH/SSL+IMAP sessions hung on a regular basis - SMTP server (via gmail) rewrites From: field on ALL msgs - didn't like being
