Basically you enter a size in k so for a 2 meg limit you would do ulimit 2048 and now you can't create a file larger than 2 megs.

[expert] Draksync...how
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Thunderstorms have conspired to wreck my HDD. I bought a new one and now wish to bring my desktop fully current with my laptop. It is simply unreasonably slow to do it via MandrakeUpdate because of my dialup speed and phone usage needs so I would like to sync my desktop with my laptop. My laptop goes to work with me and gets to enjoy the speed of an ethernet connection, thus it is painless for me to keep it updated. Last night I tried for perhaps an hour to figure out draksync without success. I don't get the passphrase thing, as I can simply ssh or sftp between my two systems using just my password. I did some man page reading and THOUGHT I had it licked, trying 'ssh-keygen' but it appears I did not. I tried to create a passphrase, but when that didn't work out, I decided to blow it off and do the keygen and forego the passphrase. This didn't work either. Whenever I try to draksync from either my desktop or laptop, I get asked for a passphrase but no matter what, entering the passphrase I tried generating and trying to send nothing when I decided against a passphrase, I get rejected for not having a passphrase. What are the steps to get a working passphrase that will actually work with draksync? This is new to me as I have usually simply sftp'd between my systems and downloaded a bunch of rpms from my laptop to my desktop that I downloaded on a given day.

I'm nervous enough about the operating temperature of 122 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. Overclockers usually don't like a CPU load temp to go over 60C. If it's operating at that or over during load then it's likely that the life of the CPU is being shortened. I've got a Vantec Areoflow VA4-C7040 HSF with a substandard heat compound (got Arctic Silver 3 on order) and even with a crappy heat grease and high core/IO voltages, the under-load temperature of the CPU never exceeds 60C. Remember, that's with overclocking. A stock system should NEVER exceed or even approach 60C load. The target load temp for stock systems is around 50C. As peace of mind is pretty cheap these days in the form of better cooling, it's best to remember that 50C reported from mobo sensors can be worse than 60C from CPU core diode sensor. For me, peace of mind is a Vantec Areoflow and Arctic Silver 3 thermal compound. --LX -- °°° Linux Mandrake 9.1 Kernel 2.4.21-0.13mdk *Catch Star Trek Enterprise, Wednesdays on UPN* Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'm nervous enough about the operating temperature of 122 to 158 degrees Fahrenheit. The AMD docs I read said 90 to 95C internal core is the failure limit. They also said to add 10 to 20C to reported probe (thermistor) cpu temps, to approximate the internal core temp. No, I agree. 230F = 110C is a temp I've never seen in AMD docs. Even 203F = 95C seems unbelieveable. But that is the max temp AMD specs for processor failure. I think they mean permanently fried ;) IMO, AMD's should be kept under 60C core ( 50C from a probe) at extreme load, or you're gonna see heat related problems. Lettin 'em run hot causes a gradual degradation of the core. I only wonder why recently AMD began internal diode temp sensing for the core. Something even the first Pentiums have had all along, including good motherboard support for it. From what I've read, the few recent AMD boards that can read the new AMD diode, don't do it very well. I believe that's why Intels are the preferred cpu's for servers. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

My laptop goes to work with me and gets to enjoy the speed of an ethernet connection, thus it is painless for me to keep it updated. Last night I tried for perhaps an hour to figure out draksync without success. I don't get the passphrase thing, as I can simply ssh or sftp between my two systems using just my password. I did some man page reading and THOUGHT I had it licked, trying 'ssh-keygen' but it appears I did not. I tried to create a passphrase, but when that didn't work out, I decided to blow it off and do the keygen and forego the passphrase. This didn't work either. Whenever I try to draksync from either my desktop or laptop, I get asked for a passphrase but no matter what, entering the passphrase I tried generating and trying to send nothing when I decided against a passphrase, I get rejected for not having a passphrase.

I bought a new one and now wish to bring my desktop fully current with my laptop. It is simply unreasonably slow to do it via MandrakeUpdate because of my dialup speed and phone usage needs so I would like to sync my desktop with my laptop. My laptop goes to work with me and gets to enjoy the speed of an ethernet connection, thus it is painless for me to keep it updated. Last night I tried for perhaps an hour to figure out draksync without success. I don't get the passphrase thing, as I can simply ssh or sftp between my two systems using just my password. I did some man page reading and THOUGHT I had it licked, trying 'ssh-keygen' but it appears I did not. I tried to create a passphrase, but when that didn't work out, I decided to blow it off and do the keygen and forego the passphrase. This didn't work either. Whenever I try to draksync from either my desktop or laptop, I get asked for a passphrase but no matter what, entering the passphrase I tried generating and trying to send nothing when I decided against a passphrase, I get rejected for not having a passphrase. What are the steps to get a working passphrase that will actually work with draksync? This is new to me as I have usually simply sftp'd between my systems and downloaded a bunch of rpms from my laptop to my desktop that I downloaded on a given day.

Somebody scribbled about Re: [expert] cdrw Having said that, I have some words of wisdom: Get A Credit Card! 1) A real credit card company will let you file, at least one, secondary delivery address. I was surprised at this development. It's logical, given all the id theft and other things going on. I am surprised that my bank wouldn't have any provision for a secondary address. Unfortunately, due to unfortunate circumstances, loss of income and etc., my credit is pretty bad, so getting a 'real' credit card is not doable right now. :( 2) [more importantly] NEVER EVER, and I mean EVER give out debit card info on the internet, no matter how much you trust the recipient. If you do, you can find your bank account RAPED for all it's worth. With I've had this happen once or maybe twice recently.
