Hey Steve, the highly excelent program lsof tells you what you want to know. Running 'lsof -i' will tell you all the networking ports open and the command, pids, users names ect associated with the port. I'm pretty sure lsof is standard issue on redhat these days... M. On Fri, 17 Dec

Re: Insecure dependency - with setuid (Obsidian OCS)

1999-12-16 Thread a mole
Hello Perry, I don't know what Obsedian is but the error is a perl security feature. When running setuid, that is the effective UID and real UID don't match, perl runs in 'taint mode' which means no user supplied/affected data can be used to affect anything outside the program. I don't

Hello Hunter, look in /etc/X11/gdm/gdm.conf for the "[servers]" section and delete (or add) what ever you need to from there. If you're using your dm with remote X servers you probably want to look at the "[xdmcp]" section and make sure it's enabled and tuned to your needs. M. On Sun,
