chmod a+x "filename"
Gives e(x)ecute permission to (a)ll. Try <man chmod><enter>. Moreover:

Pros:
Very nice fonts (try bePositive vs netscape on Linux) and overall look of
system
Each desktop can have its own resolution/color depth
Multi- tasking/multi-threaded/multi-you name it.....
A real journeled filesystem - no checks required on hard reboots
Filesystem handles very large partitions AND very large individual files
Mostly complete bash shell
Good API system for programmers
Does have access to a number of ports of some Unix programs
Cons:
Single user
Fewer apps than Linux
Supports less hardware
Not suitable as a server
Mail capabilities sorely lacking
Some User Interface limitations (copying icons between folders: icons
cannot be auto re-arranged, thumbnails are too tiny for images)
Robust, but requires you to have a terminal open if Tracker dies. If not,
reboot required.

Wrong. Allowing root telnet access is dangerous because unencrypted
passwords are sent over the wire, not because it only presents "one
layer" of security. ssh access as root is perfectly secure, but also
presents only "one layer".

NO!
su is probably the most dangerous command around. IT IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED THAT YOU NEVER EVER EVER USE THE `SU` COMMAND. It is
outdated, and its usage should be depreciated as quickly as possible.
`su` has *exactly* the same security flaws as telnet as root -- namely,
that the passwords is sent unencrypted over the wire. Additonally, `su`
has other security flaws [it is vulnerable to a spoof attack] that make
it even less desirable than telnet.
The most secure way to become root is to use a method such as `ssh`.

I have a PCMCIA EtherJet card, and can't get it to initialize.
The card lists from "cardctl ident", but won't configure - I think it is
because I don't have the correct i/o / irq.
Windows 98 (ugh!) says that it is i/o 0x1014 IRQ 7, but these don't work.
Is there anyway to find out what the correct i/o and irq is in Linux.
Thanks

My gnome-ppp dialup utility has stopped working for non-root users. I
see the error message, Connect Script failed, reported in
/var/log/messages when trying to establish a ppp connection as a regular
user. However when run as root it works fine.
I have tried setting /usr/sbin/pppd and /usr/bin/gnome-ppp suid root.
This has not corrected the problem.
I recently upgraded to kernel 2.2.11 from 2.2.1. I read that there were
some changes in 2.2.11 which required using /dev/ttyS* and a pppd
upgrade being necessary. I installed ppp v2.3.9. Still no luck.
What exactly does 'Connect Script Filaed' mean? I am not even able to
have the utility pickup the phone line. It never even dials my ISP.
Any suggestions. I'd prefer to be able to use gnome-ppp as a non-root
user like I previously could.

Dear all,
I'm planning to build a network with samba server for windoze clients. I
heard that the client windozes computers have to setup sth, e.g. the

However, if the IPs are dynamically assigned to the computers, and i cannot
have a chance to configure the windoze (cuz they r laptops, pluggin into

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I KNOW I've seen my question answered before, but 20 minutes in Deja
just came up with several discussions about using Netscape mail/news
files to share with an NT version of Netscape.
I don't mind using Netscape for my POP mail account (read: I haven't
found something I personally like better) but I'd rather use fetchmail
to retrieve the mail, and view it in Netscape if I want to.
Reason? I am on a dialup line, controlled by diald. I can create a
cronfile to see if I'm online, if so fire off fetchmail. Otherwise,
don't.. So if I'm online I check mail every 10 minutes, if I'm offline
it doesn't try to connect.
I created a new folder under Inbox called Local, went to ~wally/nsmail
(set it the preferences for the mail folder), rm'd the Local file, ln -s
/var/spool/mail/wally Local. While that seemed to work for one email,
it didn't see further new emails, nor did it delete the email when I
asked it to, verified in elm.
Perhaps I'm going about this the wrong way, I'd appreciate some help.

Subject: Re: cable modem cant ping gate way or DNS server
Date: Sun, 22 Aug 1999 18:18:34 GMT
I am not the original poster of this thread, but I have a similar
problem, but with a twist...
I installed two NE2000 NICs (Accton EN166X PnP) in my machine, and then
ran the setup utility to remove the PnP. I then installed RedHat 5.2,
and configured the first (eth0) NIC during the installation (it didn't
find the second). I configured it for my cable modem environment. Upon
booting, my connection to the net was fine. I could ping my @home
gateway, or anywhere else, surf the net, whatever. eth1 still wasn't
recongnized (via ifconfig or the boot messages), which is not
surprising.
The next morning, I added the lines in /etc/conf.modules as per the
Multiple Etherenet Mini HowTo, and suddenly, linux saw both cards (I
could see this via the boot messages). I configured the second card (in
netcfg) for my local net, and it worked -- I could ping my other
machine.
However, I suddenly could no longer ping my @home gateway -- something I
had been able to do the night before. Curious... Note that I can still
use my @home account when I switch back to my Win98 machine.
Any ideas?? Thanks!
Here are some details:

I don't have any experience with the "Turbo" card, but with the
Auto 16/4 ISA card, you had to use the setup utility that came

I tried pinging from one to the other and I get 100% packet loss. But I can
see the packet light flashing on the hub, so I know the cards are at least
sending out signals. Also, when I have either machine ping itself, it works
fine -- no packet loss.
>- If you are trying to connect using hostnames, is /etc/hosts configured

I have tried both with and without hostnames. Either way, I get the same
thing. Most recently I have tried using only IP numbers, with the same
results. I did not even give hostnames to either machine this time around,
only IP numbers. Also, I didn't give any domains.
>- Is nfsd and everything else starting properly?
Yes. Portmap, mountd and all the nfs daemons are starting on bootup.
>- What does your /etc/exports file look like? Is it configured properly?
My most recent /etc/exports file had only the following in it:
/ (rw,no_root_squash)
As far as I can tell, this should let any host mount any directory on the
machine with root privileges, which is what I want. I've also tried just
accessing the cdrom drive of one machine with the other, which I think
should be covered by the above /etc/exports entry, but just in case I tried
adding the following:
/mnt/cdrom (rw,no_root_squash)
, where /mnt/cdrom is the directory where I mounted the cdrom of the machine
I was trying to connect to. And in case you were wondering, after I mounted
the cdrom on that machine, I made sure I stopped and started portmap and all
the nfs daemons before I tried to mount again from the other machine. Still
no dice. And the only message I get after it times out is "Can't connect to
server". It doesn't give me anything I can sink my teeth into.

Almost a complete re-work of the OS concept as most people know it. Aside
from what other people have already said, it takes a slightly different tack
towards acheiving the original goals of the "CICS" system as it was
envisioned 50 years ago. It treats everything as a bitstream and by creative
use of processor time allows everything to be almost "realtime" in the same
manner that things propogate through an Object Oriented Database.
If your a coder or "hacker" then get the Be developers guide. It explains a
lot.

First, you have eth1 configured for both networks. Since eth0 is your
gateway to the internet, configure eth1 for your local net only. Just
remove that fist route.
Second, what is the 224.0.0.0 entry for eth0? That looks wrong too
(wrong as in get rid of it.)

I haven't tried to telnet or ftp, but I have tried to ping unsuccessfully
between the machines. I can have either machine ping itself with success,
but when I try to go from one to the other I get a timeout and 100% packet
loss. But i can see the packet light flashing on the hub, so I know the NIC
is putting out something when I give it a ping command. It just appears
that the intended recipient is either not getting the signal or is ignoring
it.
