Hello, The hard drive in one of my home computers died recently and, until I get a replacement, the family gets to use FreeSBIE 1.1.
That's not a problem, everyone here can use X Windows and XFCE. The problems they are experience are these: 1. The root partition fills up. I've mounted the users home directories from the NFS server and they're saving documents there. But "torsmo" shows 24.7M/28.8M used (which partition is that?) df -h shows: /dev/md7 24M 6.6M 15M 30% /.root <above>:/.root 53M 35M 15M 70% /root Right now I've got space because I just rebooted. I've set firefox cache to virtually nothing so that can't be filling up root. I can recursively search /root and sort by date/time and don't see any new, big files. It's like something is allocating space on the disk, then deleting the file, but the file system doesn't see it as released. Any tips on how to manage disk space better would be greatly appreciated. 2. How to remotely log in as root (or freesbie) to FreeSBIE. Somethings my kids just cannot do at a console. So I need to ssh in and fix stuff (like freeing disk space!). What I've done is copied the contents of another machine's /etc/ssh into FreeSBIE's /etc/ssh and launched the sshd. So far so good. I've even created a user on FreeSBIE that matches the other user (djp). I've copied the contents of /home/djp/.ssh to FreeSBIE's /root/.ssh. I've also made djp a member of group wheel. So I can ssh into FreeSBIE, but I cannot su to root. I don't know the password. I've tried changing root's password at the console but it doesn't seem to "take". I've also tried this with user freesbie, but no joy. I must be daft or something, what am I doing wrong? Many thanks for your help. I've been using FreeSBIE since 5.0 and it's great. -- Regards, Doug -- FreeSBIE mailing list (http://www.freesbie.org)
