switch INIT run level at boot time
by Parul Mathur 16 Oct '01

16 Oct '01

Hello, I edited the /etc/inittab file so that the INIT run level is 5 by default. When my machine starts, it boots normally upto the command line interface login prompt and then tries to start X. It is unable to do so successfully - the screen keeps flickering and sometimes shows a large X in the middle. I tried to come out of it by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 and Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. None of these work. I have to invariably type Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot. I tried to boot from the PCQLinux 7.1 CD ROM and go into "linux rescue" mode but the system would hang after displaying the message "Starting anaconda...please wait". Is it possible to change the INIT run levl at boot time by passing the appropriate command to the kernel? If not, what is the solution to this problem? I cannot get any work done at all because of it! Thanks. Parul Mathur

Remote X-clients in Debian
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 15 Oct '01

15 Oct '01

Hi, I can't get the X-server on my machine to display applications running on a remote servers. Here's what I have been doing 1. open an SSH connection to the server from my machine 2. set the display environment there so that it points to my machine 3. run "xhost +" to disable access control on my machine Inspite of that, applications on the remote machine fail to start with the message "Unable to open the display." But the same steps seem to work very well on RedHat machines. Is there something else that needs to be done on Debian?

.htaccess query
by shahazad＠linuxplanet.nu 15 Oct '01

15 Oct '01

hi all, i have a query regarding the .htaccess directories.. i have a account on a linux server wherein i have stored some programs in a directory which is protected by .htaccess ... now i have given access to this directory only by 1 login & password which i have already set .. now i have my other website on some other NTserver wherein i am running a ASP page with backend as XML and this xml database has a number of login & passwords stored. if any1 authenticates to this xml database on my nt server then i want him to get access to my linux server directory which is protected by .htaccess ..which means that if any1 authenticates on the asp page , he *should not* be prompted for the .htaccess password on the linux directory on my other server.. i.e. i want to pass a string along with the asp page to .htaccess along with my already set login & password to let this user access that directory without the .htaccess popup coming up.... ...huh hope u'll got it .. thanx cheers~ </shahazad> -- Get your firstname@lastname email for FREE at http://Nameplanet.com/?su
