rootTelnet limit in Fedora 2
by Bilal Ahmed Mazhar 27 Aug '04

27 Aug '04

Hi I installed FC2 on my PC and added "pts/0, pts/1" into the file /etc/securetty. I also changed disable=Yes option to disable=No in /etc/xinetd.d/telnet. It will let me login as "root" remotely upto 2 sessions. I discovered that the 1st root login as pts/0. After I logout this session, I relogin as root and it is pts/1 session. After the 2nd time login as root remotely, I can't login as root remotely. I also ensured the closed session by typing "last" on command prompt it shows all telnet session are already closed. I can login remotely with other users name. But terminal session keeps on increasing by 1 (i.e pts/3, pts/4, pts/5 etc.) and will not be reset to pts/0 or pts/1 except reboot the system. Does anyone face on this problem before? Regards, Bilal Ahmed Mazhar

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,"If GM had kept up with the technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon." In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics: 1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day. 2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this. 4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. 5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would run on only five percent of the roads. 6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" Warning light. 7. The airbag system would ask "Are you sure?" before deploying. 8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna. 9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again, because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car. 10. You'd have to press the "Start" button to stop the car.

I have installed debian base systemand then installed the x-windows-system and fluxbox packages online. The problem is that startx is not present on the system. After running dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xfree86, the xserver starts up but crashes almost immediately. There are no obviuos errors in /var/log/Xfree.log. Where should I look for some clues ? I really would like to get debian working on this machine. regards, Sharukh.

Microsoft doesn't agree with your thinking. They have already accepted that they may no longer control desktop. So dotnet stresses browser centric software. They want to control servers, database and webservers and let users access the software with what ever browsers they want. They have already started moves to get larger share of server market, at cost of unix, but lots of linux servers have also moved to windows. Ofcourse, the spate of security holes and virus has prompted return flow back to linux for many and also earned fresh converts. Regards saswata > >-- > Why do we drink cow's milk?

Peer-Peer Networking in Linux
by Nikhil Joshi 25 Aug '04

25 Aug '04

Hi! Is there any way to implement peer-peer networking in Linux just like in Windows? e.g. I have 4 PCs at home,one for each family member. Security is not a major concern as we trust each other. I want anyone to share anything on this small network. On Windows 98, I can simply enable file-sharing on each PC and the respective users will share their resources either: Read-only Full Access Password-Protected Read-only or Full Access Being a system admin for few months, I feel this is a simple and very fast way of implementing a small network. I have wondered whether the similar kind of network can be set using Linux Desktops. Any ideas ? ( Should I be using Samba ? ) Thanks, Nikhil Joshi P.S. One may argue that what's the use of a network if it is not secure, vulnerable to worms, viruses, etc.? But then I feel if there were no worms, viruses, security threats, crashes, etc. there would not have been any System Admins ;) But to be fair enough IMHO Windows makes a System/Network Admin's life easier. -- "The inside of my head was exploding with fireworks.

HP PSC 1210 not detected on FC2
by Philip Tellis 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

I have a HP PSC 1210 printer. It used to work perfectly on Fedora Core 1 (kernel 2.4.x). I had to put the default printer and scanner drivers into the /etc/hotplug/blacklist file so that the hpoj driver could handle the same. After upgrading to FC2, the printer is no longer detected. The module names have changed to usblp and usbscanner I think, so I blacklisted those, but it makes no difference. printer doesn't get detected. Any ideas? Philip

Re: [Humor] SCOpe for a laugh
by Vickram Crishna 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Actually Google is very high on humor, which shows to me that they are not just commercial cold-blooded types - you probably know that they have one of the world's highest concentration of PhDs in a commercial organisation. The simple web page, on which they often reflect global events through fun modifications of their logo (right now, every day is a new Olympic event) I think shows a good attitude. Can you imagine a Microsoft or Sun playing with the logo on their main site? There are many other examples of irony (even anti-Bush administration jokes, and anti-MS) they make through Easter eggs planted in the I'm Feeling Lucky option - but I don't think this is the forum for exchanging all of them. In fact, since these jokes are not taken down, it is clear the Google management tacitly approves, so they aren't really classic Easter eggs, though the jokes themselves are classic. Against this, I am afraid I find many commercial Linux distro companies totally short on humor of any kind. If anyone would care to correct me, most welcome. -- Vickram
