what i am trying to say is .. if some intruder gets to see my password of the dial up account. since wvdial.conf is stored in text format. (and so are the passwords) :) linuxers(a)mm.ilug-bom.org.in wrote: >>i want to know how to restrict hackers, crackers,external users etc. >from accessing my wvdial.conf file. > > chmod 000 wvdial.conf Wo - Why keep the file then?? :) I believe this wud allow the file to become as good as deleted... Except of course that u can change permissions later,when u (obviously) cant do chmod with a deleted file...

Re: [ILUG-BOM] problem with loading modules
by Mahesh Gharat 14 Feb '02

Hi Rahul, In your case the modules will get overwritten in the same directory (/lib/modules/2.4.17). If you use the different kernel version then the modules will get installed in the /lib/modules/linu.kernel.version.number directory. The module loading depends upon the System.map and modules.conf file. So don't forget to move this newly generated System.map file to /boot/ directory. I think you moved the System.map file but didn't do make modules and make modules_install.Hence no modules get listed in the System.map file though they they are included in kernel as loadble modules. Basically the kernel compiling order should be: make menuconfig make dep make bzImage make modules make modules_install copy bzImage to the /boot/ directory rename the old System.map to System.bak copy System.map to the /boot/ directory Do not forget to save the old .config file(which keeps the track of the selected options while compiling the kernel) before compiling. Happy Recompiling! -Mahesh Gharat We shall recompile and recompile until we are exhausted, and then we shall compile again.

problem with loading modules
by Rahul Saxena 14 Feb '02

14 Feb '02

hi there, i compiled 2.4.17 and made the modules for it. now i have compiled the same kernel with the preemtive kernel patch, but i have not made the modules for that. this causes a problem as the (preemtive)kernel dosent find any modules at boot. and hence i cannot use them. Now if i make modules for the preemtive kernel too, will they overwrite the previous modules. or will they be installed in a seperate directory then /lib/modules/2.4.17 ?? it would be good if i could boot from either of the kernels and use the modules. can somone throw some light on this ? regards -rahul __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
