[eug-lug]root RedHat

What's the quickest way to root a RedHat box? Boot off a rescue CD or bootable distro and edit /etc/passwd? What do I change? Do I change the values associated with root's password or can I just simply reset the root and/or user passwords? Thanx. Mr O. __ Do you

Unless the bootloader is password protected you could just boot into single user mode and change the password. Other than that, probably the easiest way would be to use a bootable linux distro (knoppix, linux toolkit, etc) and edit /etc/shadow (most linux distro's use shadow password files).

Yeah that would prettymuch do it, but surely redscat uses shadow passwords... just edit the /etc/shadow, (and or /etc/password) and remove the encrypted password portion of the root entry. then login as root (hit enter for password) then type passwd (at the console)to setup a new password.

[eug-lug]KDE 3.1.2 File Dialog problem

2003-08-04 Thread Gordon Johnson
Hi, This weekend I upgraded Mandrake 9.1 from KDE 3.1.0 to 3.1.2. All works well with one exception - the the File Dialog doesn't work. Rather than what I would expect I get a full screen, empty X Window box with a close icon in the top right corner. The dialog is missing from all K apps -

[eug-lug]Eclipse oss's answer to .net?

2003-08-04 Thread john fleming
Has anyone used eclipse or contributed to the project etc? From reading a fair amount of material on it I am left with the impression that it is dominated by java, and focuses on web apps. If anyone has anything to help me understand it please holler.

I loaded it up once. I wasn't too impressed, but I've really never used a big development environment. For simple PHP scripts, there isn't much need. The screenshots I've seen makes me think it's much larger than just web apps. The big idea around eclipse is it's plugin architecture. There
