My bad. I assumed you were working on a personal system or something.
If indeed your users don't have root access, then setuid is not a
solution, at least directly.

Point taken. Investigate the Super package (might be on Powertools cd,
if not, get it from rpmfind). It gives you some granularity over who
can su, and for what. Check it out, it's nice.

Sometimes Win32 does that, sometimes not. Point taken though. I don't
mean to patronize by stating the obvious... but linux ain't Win32. Damn
long ways from it, in fact, IMO.

Depends on WHO is su'ing for a minute... right? :) Maybe you don't want
your friendly high school zitfaced script kiddie (or disgruntled
employee, or ex-girlfriend :)) su'ing on your system.
> Why is it a security risk in the gui?
[snip]
That wasn't really my piont, gui or not. My point was if you put setuid
(or super) on your system, make sure to protect access to it. The
"super" program I mentioned earlier makes a reasonable attempt at
allowing you to have setuid around, but tightly controlling who can call
it and for what. That was my point.

On my Sparcstation 5 (pretty old, I know) fvwm2 is a dog compared to twm.
I even upgraded to 128M RAM recently with no obvious improvement. Clearly, twm
is more "lightweight" than fvwm2.
Moving the mouse between windows takes much more time (sometimes a full second)
for fvwm and it's idea about which windows can be raised or lowered is inconsistent,
even when you don't have the "sloppy focus" turned on.
However, fvwm2 definitely looks much better than twm because of the 3d decorations,
if that is what one wants :-)

That's what you want and that's all there is to want: from the command
line you can launch anything else you may wish. You _want_ to give
commands (single ones) as root. If you want to launch a gui-thingie
belonging to root, do it. If you want to do it without passing through
a command line, that would mean invoking an entire window manager
interface as root (or at least something mildly capable of launching
other things). Why would you want to do that? You want to limit your
use of root as much as possible.

I ran Linux and X on a 386SX with 4MB RAM and a 256K VGA card.
Besides that X was a pain on such a machine I tried my best.
I tried several WM including twm, fvwm1, lwm and wm2.
IIRC, twm used the most memory and I think lwm the least.
It was a rather old version of fvwm1. And nowadays, don't
mix it up with fvwm2.

I recently changed my window manager from vtwm (~ twm w/ virtual desktops)
to fvwm. The clincher for me was more flexible control of the mouse from
the keyboard. This coupled with fvwm's more usable functions, made fvwm a
more comfortable development environment for me -- I no longer have to take
my hands from the keyboard just to jump focus to another client. Here's an
example of a function that I use for this:
AddToFunc "Direction-Warp-and-Focus"
+ "I" Direction $0 (!Iconic !Sticky) WarpToWindow 5p 5p Focus
...
Key Up A S Function Direction-Warp-and-Focus North
Key Down A S Function Direction-Warp-and-Focus South
Key Left A S Function Direction-Warp-and-Focus West
Key Right A S Function Direction-Warp-and-Focus East
I haven't had any complaints about the performance of fvwm, but (since I
use multiple physical screens), I have noticed more memory use -- fvwm2
starts up a separate process for each screen. vtwm only needed one.
Individually, the vtwm and fvwm processes are about the same size, though.
I also had to write a separate application for warping the cursor between
screens (vtwm has a function warptoscreen).
However, I keep my config really tight --- less than 130 lines, and 50 of
them are comments or white space (another 50 are keybindings), so maybe I'm
not the best datapoint.

If you're running wu-ftpd, the ftpd line in /etc/inetd.conf needs to
look like:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd wu.ftpd -a
If you're running ProFTPd, which IIRC is Mandrake's default, then:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd proftpd
After you edit /etc/inetd.conf, restart inetd and your off & running. To
restart:
# killall -1 inetd

And John Hasler responds, correctly:

You were right. I finally traced the problem down to a buggy voltage regulator
and capacitor combo on the BP6 motherboard. Soldering (!) a bigger cap on
fixed the problems.
I think it was the current drain from running HD and CDrom at the same time
that triggered the problem. Maybe.
Anyway, hardware bug all along.

syslogd puts a mark in the logs at regular periods.
The readon it does this is to let you know it's still running.
(sometimes the system might run out of virtual memory and reap the odd
random process, and if that process is syslog, you won't get any more logs
to find out why).

A quick hunt shows that the only version of Linux supporting or
running on this Mac is MkLinux. The problem appears to be because
is a NuBus based machine - all distributions, except for MkLinux

First, be sure that's what you need to do: if you have
enough memory, you don't need swap (this is often
misunderstood, see http://pcunix.com/Boot/swap.html - that
was written for SCO Unix but the same principles apply to
any modern Unix/Linux). Memory is pretty cheap..
Second- do you really need to resize? You can add swap
using space within your existing file system- see "man
swapon" - and that's a lot easier (maybe not as efficient,
but there's little that's efficient if you are swapping
anyway) than jiggering your partitions around.

fvwm1 is not fvwm2. if fvwm1 does what you need and want, use it!
go out and get fvwm-1.24r. i have used and continue to use it for
many years. i have used it on sparcstation 5 too. it was smaller,
quicker and imho nicer looking than twm last i checked.
i like the pager in fvwm1. tvtwm has one too. i could never abide
the "goodstuff" bar so i don't start that.

Subject: How to print with small font?
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 16:35:47 -0300
Hi all!
How could I print a plain text with a small font (like 8 pt) in a
dot-matrix (Epson LX-810) or deskjet (HP 560C) printer? I have used
'mpage' and 'pr' but the result is not readble. Is the resolution printer
dependent?
Thanks in advance,
Arlan
