Hi Folks, 
 
I have three questions that I can't seem to figure out with Mandrake 8.2. 
 
1.) How do I change the name of my machine? While I was installing  
Mandrake, I didn't put in a name, and the default was "dhcppc5". I would 
like to change it to something more suitable. 
 
2.) How do I edit the shutdown script so I don't see "KillAll" [failed] on 
the  Mandrake shutdown screen when I turn the box off. I have been running 
this  Mandrake PC for a month and it has been great. I am convinced that if I 
 could edit this command out of the shutdown script, it would cure the 
problem. 
 
3.) How do I edit Apache so I can run Perl CGI scripts on my box. I am using 
the Mandrake default Apache set-up and I cannot seem to get CGI scripts to 
work. I have tried using the scripts in the cgi-bin and elsewhere and I keep 
getting an error message like the 403 error below. 
 
"Forbidden You don't have permission to access /cgi-bin/first.cgi on this 
server." 
 
Also, I want to thank everyone on this list. I have been lurking for the past 
month and I have learned a great deal here.
