From the reply I recieved, the search engine says there are too many of

Solved: [SLUG] Permission puzzle?
A Google search turned up the fact that Mike Lake in Oct 2001 had the same basic problem, and solved it with SLUG's help. On 2 Mar, luke wrote: My nightly backup script gets the following error every time, when backing up one set of files across NFS: cd / cpio: Read error at byte 0 in file home/coo/stella/sam/Same4.1, padding with zeros cpio: Read error at byte 0 in file home/coo/stella/sam/Same5.1, padding with zeros The backup runs as root. Root can open the files and examine it manually (e.g. with vi), across the network just fine. Only these files have the problem - other files backup okay. Permissions look good - owner and group are correct, and uid and gid now match on both machines (they didn't, before!). E.g: $ ls -l /home/coo/stella/sam/Same4.1 -rw-rw1 stella kendall 43662 Jan 26 12:05 /home/coo/stella/sam/Same4.1 Notice that the file is not readable by other.

Another red herring? Anyway, I chose to make the files other-readable (rather than adding no_root_squash).

Re: [SLUG] Evolution Can't Start: (Cannot accessBonobo/ConfigDatabase, not upgrading configuration.)
sorry about the now-post-problem response ;).. but for future reference.. i've seen this on rh8 after updating to mozilla 1.3b and using ximian evolution 1.2.2. To solve it i tried running the 'wombat' binary, which then reported it couldnt run because it couldnt find libssl3.so. It turned out the updated mozilla rpm had installed libssl3.so in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3b, not /usr/lib/ which is where the earlier versions had installed it. Solution was just to add /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3b to /etc/ld.so.conf.

Re: [SLUG] identd
Bill wrote: should identd be installed, or is it a security risk? There are several possible answers to that: 1. Switching your computer on and connecting it to the internet is a security risk. Don't do it. 2. identd is not inherently a security risk, but it does run as root and is a daemon, and buffer overflows can hurt it if there are buffer overflow conditions. 3. I have seen one system hacked via what could have been identd, but I didn't have sufficient data to verify that. Personally, I wouldn't bother with it. Not to say that I'd steer clear of it, but so few programs make any kind of use out of the information that identd provides these days that you're better off just rejecting (not dropping) the packets. Dropping the packets slows things down because programs like sendmail will hold off until they either get a connection refused or a timeout, which means that if you drop auth packets your system will take longer to send mail to remote systems. will the firewall (SME 5.12) negate any advantages, or will identd weaken the firewall ? Neither.

To clean up in this removed-but-not-purged situation, use dpkg's --purge instead. You can use dpkg -l to find packages that have been removed but didn't have their config purged. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Postfix: virtual_alias_maps - virtual_maps
G'day all, Just in case this affects anyone here... The postfix documentation (http://www.postfix.org/rewrite.html) states that virtual address aliasing is achieved via the parameter virtual_alias_maps for /etc/postfix/main.cf, when it should actually be virtual_maps. This caused me some grief, but I managed to figure it out thanks to vim's syntax highlighting under Mandrake. I've written to the Wietse, the author, to report the error. All the best.

[SLUG] ** One Million FREE Visitors ** 5152vqtZ7-321blKc3303URJe-24
Hi,
How can the regular guy really get 1 million visitors on his web site without spending
a dime
in advertisement?
I have to get this off my chest before I explode.
.
I'm Stephan Ducharme. It seams like everybody is now calling me the Free Ad Guru.
Well,
I admit that my secrets on how to get 1 million free visitors are presently sweeping
the web
like a raging fire ! This info page has suddenly been taken by assault from visitors
getting in
and in and in! (A lot of people are reading this page while you are!)
According to Alexa, I'm in the top 15,000 most visited website !!!
But I'm just like you; I've been trying to make money on this ?%*!# Internet for 2
years and
nothing was working out ... until I discovered this.
So if you are of those who are tired of waiting for something to happen, even angry of
reading too good to be true bla-bla stories while you are struggling and still
hanging tight
in there, I have marvelous, unexpected news for you.
I will not insult your intelligence by telling you things like You'll be a
millionaire in 6 months
I don't believe in hype any more than you do.
Take my advice, don't make the mistakes I've made; If you want to create high traffic
on your
web site, don't apply for or join in anymore programs until you read this letter
Stop listening to any so-called expert because if one program can help you, choosing
the
wrong one can kill your business. It has taken me 2 years to discover the real good
methods. Two years of brain sweat.
Big corporations spend thousands of dollars in banner advertisement to get the traffic
I'm
getting for free using these secrets. You will slap yourself if you're not already
using this.
For information on how the regular guy can really get 1 million visitors on his web
site
without spending a dime in advertisement, send a blank email to:

VMware interacts badly with some patches RedHat applied to their custom kernels - the suggestion is to use a kernel.org kernel. Read the vmware newsgroups on news.vmware.com. See: http://www.vmware.com/support/kb/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=873 and there's a more recent version of the patch that it refers to (which I haven't tried yet) at: http://knihovny.cvut.cz/ftp/pub/vmware/vmware-any-any-update25.tar.gz I've used v23 of the patch and it works, sort of, but it doesn't fix the error message when shutting down the VM. My host-only networking is broken (outgoing packets appear on the network, incoming packets don't reach the VM), but it might not be related to this patch. Apparently it's a common problem with Intel EEPro100 cards, so I'll try a different network card to see if it helps. I have a spare 3Com card around here somewhere ...
