Why, Himself, the only extant Intelligence in His Cosmos, of course.
Do yourself the favor I did months ago and just plonk the crap. You'll
be occasionally reminded how helpful it is after outrageously arrogant
and often ignorant (or sophist) replies to others, like this example.
BTW, I don't give a hoot what the joker has "done" for Linux, either.

Back again - created a new user... and discovered the same thing

Everything works however. It's just annoying.

I thought one had to run it in wine.
Use Amaya, done by the w3 consortium. It should meet the standards and

Subject: Help for the Hacked..
My box was recently the victem of what looks like a root kit. I noticed
because my "top" wouldn't function anymore and the "ps" listing was in a
different format. My question is since I do have a recent full backup, would
it be wiser to just wipe the system and consider it wholly compromised, or
could I get away with restoring the /bin /sbin /etc from my week old tape and
call it good? And if I can just restore from tape, are there any other
directories I should consider restoring?
Let me qualify this a bit further.. This machine is just a general workstation
in my home and it has internet access only through a dial-up connection with a
dynamic IP address. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Hi,
I am connecting to my ISP with kppp 2.0.3 on Mandrake 8.0
After disconnection and exit from kppp, I get the
.DCOPserver_localhost.localdomain file in my home directory. What is
this file? I did a search on usenet and found out that this has got
something to do with FIFOs and not shutting down the dialer
'correctly'. I exit from kppp using the 'disconnect' and 'quit' buttons
but alas, the .DCOP file is still produced. I don't kill the kppp
process by issuing a 'kill' command. How do I prevent this file from
cropping up?

first, make sure you have the latest Samba. earlier versions would work with
2000, but had subtle problems. then, is the Linux box in the same workgroup?
samba.conf will let you announce the shares to another workgroup, which
should let the 2000 box see it. see the samba docs for some more info.

I would wipe it completely, saving only my home directory, and only
the files that I know I wrote (no scripts, no .bash_profile etc.).

We had already tried these steps, and it still doesn't seem to work. What

SSH will also not connect. The linux box seems to be accessing the network
just fine - we just can't access the linux box.

Subject: "no rule to make bzimage"
Date: Wed, 06 Jun 2001 13:32:58 GMT
When making my new kernel I can do a "make bzdisk" and it does a bunch of
stuff, then writes to the floppy. This is OK.
But when I do a "make bzimage" (to create a disk copy of the kernel) I get
the message:
Make: *** No rule to make target 'bzimage'. Stop.
This occurs even though I have done a "make config", a "make dep", and a
"make clean" from the /usr/src/linux-2.2.14 folder. So far I have followed
the Kernel-HOWTO exactly.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tom

How it this possible !!
Aren't all the used protocols 'international standards' ?
Are they offered a deal from Micro$oft to make Win$ use compulsory ?
I've also got a freemail account which never connected, and

Can any one confirm this ?

I am pretty cynical as well, and normally do a complete reinstall, however,
since this is just a workstation at home and by no means a "mission critical"

OK, I managed to get the server installed. I didn't know about loading
maps - thought that would happen automatically, but haven't had experience
reading server consoles.
I pasted my output below. Yes, my internal NW is 192.168.20.0.
You can see where I loaded "map q3dm1". And you can see where I connected
from my Windows machine, but it timed out immediately. Also, If I scan for
servers, Q3A doesn't see it, I have to specify to connect even temporarily.
And finally, how do I upgrade this to the full game with all maps and the
latest point release?
I'm cable linked and I really want to get this thing up and running. I have
an AMD K6-2/550 I want to set up as a permanent Internet server once I can

Yes. In fact, it's likely. Check 'chkconfig --list'. Is ipchains on?
Then, look in /etc/sysconfig/ipchains. Those are the firewall rules
being applied. I'm not sure how you installed RedHat, but when I've
done it the default firewall rules deny access on all priviledged ports.
You need to allow access to the appropriate ports from your clients.
