Re: Change the Owner of a Running Process
If the app belongs to root (chown root 'app'), then setting the SUID bit (chmod +s 'app') should result in the program running as root and not whoever mozilla is running as. Or whoever the app file belongs to. However, do heed the warnings below. I would never do this with an app I got somewhere. There are few cases where this is needed. If you just want to control app files so they do not belong to the user running mozilla, consider using the 'guest' account or some other non-privleged account. Do the same two commands listed above, replacing root with guest. On Fri, 31 May 2002 17:50:23 -0400 (EDT) Net Llama!

And even if it was, i think it would be extremely dangerous. For starters, i don't think having root own the process would prevent someone from killing the browser. You can't really control who does what with an X app once its on the screen running. Also, if the browser was running as root, the person could gain access to the entire filesystem, with the ability to alter it. -- ~~ Lonni J Friedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Step-by-step TyGeMohttp://netllama.ipfox.com ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL. -- ++===+ | Roger Oberholtzer | E-mail:[EMAIL PROTECTED] | | OPQ Systems AB | WWW: http://www.opq.se/ | | Erik Dahlbergsgatan 41-43 |Phone: Int + 46 8 314223 | | 115 32 Stockholm | Mobile: Int + 46 733 621657 | | Sweden | Fax: Int + 46 8 302602 | ++===+ ___ Linux-users mailing list - http://linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Archives,and Digests are located at the above URL.

I used Slackware for some months, but have recently switch to KRUD (www.tummy.com/krdu) Slack was great. I liked the BSD configuration system; the system setup files were clearly written; it was very stable; there wasn't the Bug-of-the-day that seems to exist with RedHat; you can download the kernel source and recompile/update the kernel without problems because Slack doesn't need a lot of improvements in the source that RH and SUSE seem to. It was a nice, tight distribution. OTOH, you have to compile most everything you use from the source code -- which takes time and I was amazed at the amount of programs that had some really sloppy coding that called for editing and recompiling; some programs did not want to work well (CUPS comes to mind) because their developers wrote them for RH; it doesn't use PAM; there is no package management program of any utility; getting help can sometimes be difficult because the formal support site is not always up, and some of the answers to questions weren't always right; there aren't pretty configuration tools with it -- you have to edit copnfiguration files by had, BUT the files are written very clearly. On the whole, I was very satisfied with it: if all the other 200+ Linux distributions were to disappear, leaving only Slackware, I wouldn't complain.

Re: XFree 4 has lost resolution
I dont know about the new x-server, my install of 7.3 went fairly smooth, in fact it went great. I was impressed. I do know that if you increase the colors the resolution must decrease if your card runs out of processor power. I have a S3 Virge(4Mb) in a box that will run 1024x768 just fine at 64K, go up to 16M and it will max out at 800x600. So I guess see if reducing the colors helps.

Why can't Linux be for everyone? Let M$ keep building OS clones and calling one a server while the other is a desktop. They're not fooling anyone. I didn't mean to sound like a cli preacher. I guess I did though. What I meant was that people should be aware that it's there and know how to use it for simple tasks, not know how to write crazy shell scripts. Of course I meant that for the home user that has to administer their own system. Bill, how many savvy desktop users do you know? Does anyone know of a majority of users in an enterprise environment that can delete and re-install a driver in Windows? How many calls a week has anyone on a helpdesk gotten for help on adjusting contrast and brightness following a department-wide monitor upgrade? How many a day? These people shouldn't run linux unless someone else installs it for them, as well as does all the administrating. Some people are afraid of technology. They know how to use an application, but can't install it or configure it. These people aren't the people that need to be reached, it's the people that do all their dirty work. Believe it or not, there are millions of people out there that just want to browse the web, write a letter, and keep track of their checkbooks. For one's employed by any one of our countries (US) mega-corporations, there are scores of users that don't even get their own desk, much less the chance to fiddle around when a problem occurs. Yes. But all these people need to know are the locations of the icons used to launch their applications. I'd hate to even try to estimate the number of secretaries and executive assistants there are in this world. How many of them do you think would even spend 20 seconds trying to tweak their USB mouse driver to make it use all four buttons and the wheel? Zero! They call someone. A person like the members of this list. Then they pay us. This likely sounds cheesy, but don't fear the advent of the user friendly Linux distro. Welcome it a make a few more bucks off of it :) Oh, I don't fear the user friendly distro. If I did, I wouldn't use Mandrake. :) I think I might have made it seem that I fancy myself as some kind of guru, but I am quite the newbie. I like the ease of Mandrake's install(configured everything except my sound card). And I like the gui tools. But I also know the value of the cli, even though I'm not yet able to fully appreciate it's power and flexibility. I'll now say that I wish you well with your book. I think it'll be a good project in spite of some of what I've said. I do think you can do almost everything without a cli, but sometimes those wizards don't always work as advertised.

RE: KVM recommendations?
Jerry, Would anyone recommend a KVM brand, modle or other? Belkin makes several that are available and not too pricey. However, you will need to make sure it is compatible. I'm running one 2 CPU model at home, and an OmniView SE 4-Port here at work. I've got a situation that's perfect for one, only need to support 2 computers, but I would like to have the ability to support 4 for future expansion. At the moment, one box is running windows and the other is running Turbo linux. This may be where you run into troubles. Despite the supposed compatibility with Windows NT (special keyboard handling that messes KVMs up), the one here at work needs to be cycled through the list of computers to clear something out before the keyboard special characters work right. NOTE: This is not a problem on the Linux system I'm running here, only the two Win2K systems. It was a problem on the WinNT system I was running, too. It isn't a problem on either Linux system I'm running at home, either. This should not be a problem on Win95/Win98, either. Other than the Windows problem, I've been very happy with the Belkin models. In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord, Tom :-}) Thomas A.

One other important note: I've found that an installation of a new OS works more reliably if I plug the keyboard mouse into the computer directly, then go back to the KVM when it is completed. I don't know why this is, but I believe it is hardware/BIOS related, since it seems to vary form machine to machine. In Harmony's Way, and In A Chord, Tom :-}) Thomas A.
