I am sorry, I don't know how old is the Mouse Systems mouse. For five
years I have a mouse systems compatible mouse (A4Tech) and had no problems
to get it working in the three-button mode in SuSE (an old one), RedHat
4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 6.1. MSW 95 and 98 tell me: cannot find the mouse, and
I have to switch the mouse to the 2-button mode.

Probably not much help, since I did the modifications to slot1 celerons to get
mine to work, but only certain slockets will work in SMP, some of which require
modifications themselves (like the S370?).
Ive read both ways on the S370; that it requires modification, and that it
doesn't. Best I can figure is that its a revision issue, where the newer ones
are good to go out of the box. I'm not sure on that though. Maybe a search on
deja.com or the asus forums would clear that up.
The following site has a list of slockets, and mentions that the S370 needs
modification (instructions to do it too, if you can read japanese):
http://kikumaru.w-w.ne.jp/pc/celeron/index_e.html
Then to confuse the matter, this link gives the impression that it doesn't

Hehe - based on the replies I received I take it this newsgroup gets
quite a few posts from not-so-familiar-with-linux people. :) Anyhoo,
permissions on /etc/passwd are fine (owner root, perm 0644), and
/bin/login looks cool too (owner root, perm 0711). This is all how it
was before so I don't think it would be involved in the failure of the
program. Here's a list of permissions I changed on things - these were
all programs that were setuid(0) that I changed because I hadn't checked
out my perm.'s in a while:
/usr/bin/at
/usr/bin/crontab
/usr/bin/fdmount
/usr/bin/disable-paste
/usr/bin/chage
/usr/bin/chfn
/usr/bin/chsh
/usr/bin/expiry
/usr/bin/gpasswd
/usr/bin/newgrp
/usr/bin/procmail
/usr/bin/rcp
/usr/bin/rlogin
/usr/bin/rsh
/usr/local/bin/ssh
/usr/local/bin/kv4lsetup
/usr/local/bin/ksu
/usr/local/bin/v4rcp
/usr/sbin/sendmail
/usr/X11R6/bin/xload
/usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
/usr/libexec/pt_chown
/bin/mount
/bin/umount
All of these are NOT setuid root anymore. I figured it might have
something to do with SSH or rlogin being changed, but giving them back
their bits didn't make it work. From what I can tell it has something
to do with the login program itself. I did change the /etc/login.defs
file, but in no way that would appear to break login. I don't use login
for anything, but I did notice that when I try to run it as a non-root
user it says:
$login username
No utmp entry. You must exec "login" from the lowest level "sh"
$
Looks like it might be related to me. Perm.'s on /var/run/utmp are
owner:root 0644. Any ideas?

You add an account in the Servers section of Preferences (or whatever
it's called in the KDE 1 version) and it will ask if you want to set up
for collection from a Local Mailbox or via POP3. Just choose Local
Mailbox and set the location to /var/spool/mail/<username>.
Note that the usual access rules apply - you can only get your own mail
this way. If you try (as a user) to get root's mail, it will fail.
The way round this is to open a console when logged on as a user, then
su to root by entering 'su' then entering the password. Now enter
'kmail &' which runs it as a separate process owned by root. You can
now set up the account for collection from root's local mailbox as
above.
Whenever you want to read root's mail, su to root, enter 'kmail &' to
run kmail, then do a "Check mail in" the local mailbox. Enter 'exit' to
get back to being a regular user in that console.

I use gnapster happily with server 64.124.41.219, port 8888
This is not an open-nap server.

The easier, and preferred thing to do is alias root to your own mail account.
Type man aliases for more information on this.

No, there is no problem with xdm. If you have default runlevel 3 and
you reboot, then you will be in runlevel 3. If you have xdm set to
startup in runlevel 3, then that's your business, but it's not
debian policy. There should be no S??xdm link in /etc/rc3.d.
That said, there was a longstanding bug in the standard debian
setup (as far as I aware) that meant that xdm wasn't killed
automatically when LEAVING runlevel 4. I.e. there was a missing
K??xdm link. But that doesn't affect you.

Not sure. This might have to be suid but it must be used about

Should be suid IF it's used as a MDA, according to the manpage. But

anyway - unless sendmail deliberately runs deliver in the context of
the recipient.

Those obviously have to be suid if you expect to use them.
: /usr/local/bin/ssh
And ditto.
INSTALLATION
Ssh is normally installed as suid root. It needs root
privileges only for rhosts authentication (rhosts authen-
tication requires that the connection must come from a
privileged port, and allocating such a port requires root
privileges). It also needs to be able to read
/etc/ssh_host_key to perform

Suppose so. Does video setup.
: /usr/local/bin/ksu
Must be suid if that's a "su"!
: /usr/local/bin/v4rcp
No idea.
: /usr/sbin/sendmail
Well! That one needs to be suid to send mail! You need access to port
25.
: /usr/X11R6/bin/xload
Suid to access some stats.
: /usr/X11R6/bin/xterm
Suid to write wtmp.
: /usr/libexec/pt_chown
Err, suppose has to be suid to chown! But I don't know exactly what it
does.
: /bin/mount
: /bin/umount

They're safe. You need them so that the "user" option in fstab works.

Subject: Is there any limitation to the numbers of opening files? thanks
Date: Fri, 10 Nov 2000 17:48:02 +0800
Dear sirs, I've got a problem when I use server.load to test my Domino
Server.
In the console it tells me : too many opened files.
It there any limitaion to the numbers for openning files? I'm using kernel
2.4.0.
If you know it under 2.2.x, It's OK to me as well.
Please help me on maximizing the number. thanks a lot!

I've got an INspiron 3000 and have just installed Mandrake 7.1.
There are several Insprion/Linux pages on the net- with some good info.
Have you tried these ?

Do you use linux machines to connect the branches over VPN? Becuase they
act as routers if I am not mistaken and by default no router forwards
multicast packets. I am sure you can setup linux networking to forward
those packets but I am not sure. I belive it might be possible with some
commericial routers also but I have little experinece in that area. You
should look in a linux net howto and goto the advanced section
Hope this helps

My system slurps in /etc/updatedb.conf when mine is run (by cron):
# This file sets environment variables which are used by updatedb
#
# *** updatedb is rin by /etc/cron.daily/find ***
#
# filesystems which are pruned from updatedb database
PRUNEFS="NFS nfs afs proc smbfs autofs auto iso9660 vfat"
export PRUNEFS
# paths which are pruned from updatedb database
PRUNEPATHS="/tmp /usr/tmp /var/tmp /afs /amd /home"
export PRUNEPATHS
# netpaths which are added
NETPATHS=""
export NETPATHS
