It might get fired up if you start X from command line and then start netscape. But you won't be able to see anything. Try VNC.

Upgrading RAM and size of Swap
by Kinjal Sonpal 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

Hi folks, I'm planning to upgrade my m/c's RAM. At present it's 64MB and I plan to add another 128 MB. At present the Swap partition is of 180 MB (It's too big for current RAM, but I had this upgradation in mind) Basically I'm planning to run some heavy apps in Windows, hence the upgradation. After the upgrade, the size of the RAM and that of Swap will be almost equilvalent. Will that do? or repartitioning is unavoidable? And one more thing. Will there be any need for recomfiguring any part of the system after the upgrade? TIA, Warm Regards, $ sonpal -kj

You will need 2 NIC's one will connect to the cable modem and the other to your machine (using cross cable) or to a hub. Also the machine receiving the cable connection will have to provide proxy service to your machine. Your neighbour's machine can either be a linux box or a win 95/98 machine. For linux you can use squid and for windows you can use winproxy. Of course for you to browse, his machine will have to be on. We are using hathway cable connecition in our office connected to a linux box which provides browsing and other services to 40 other machines.

Hackers and Crackers
by Philip S Tellis 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

Just read a very interesting article from a guy who started out with BBS's when he was 13. He's a security analyst now. He defines hacker as talented programmers who don't even find the need to break into other people's systems without permission, and cracker as those who like to. Crackers may or may not have the skill set of hackers. Finally, for script kiddies, he uses the term `lacker'.

It tells Wvdial not to interpret the login sequence i.e., the login/password prompts. Wvdial simply starts up PPPD when it connects to the remote modem. A better explanation is given in the man page of wvdial.conf. DO `man wvdial.conf' Fart

Add/ Remove users
by Sameer Shinde 20 Aug '01

20 Aug '01

Hi Friends, How can I add new user in my RHL 7.1 box. I tried using useradd <username> -p <password> It added the user. But when I tried to enter with this username & password the login fails. Actually if I try with above loging name & passwd it fails but if I try with above login name & roots passwd then it logs in. That means password is not setting properly. Where I'm going wrong? Also tell me how to Remove any user form Linux ?

[OT] [Security] Xinetd
by Fart Crimson 19 Aug '01

19 Aug '01

Just a small waste of your time. ;-) Those of you who using Inetd with Tcpwrappers - that includes me, should consider switching to Xinetd. It combines the functionality of both programs. Now, you don't have to maintain three different files for managing access to services. Besides it has pretty cool features that are a lot interesting. They website claims that it is more efficient than Tcpwrappers. The Xinetd website is at http://www.xinetd.org/ I think I will try it out Now! Fart

getting past vsnl's no-relay
by Philip S Tellis 19 Aug '01

19 Aug '01

Currently, this is a manual process. If you are using sendmail (I don't know about other mailers), then change to /var/spool/mqueue # vi qf* find a line like: S<the email address you send with> It will be just before a line starting with RPFD:<recipient's address> Change the address in the S<> line to whatever is your vsnl email address. Everything else can remain as it is. Mail should go through correctly. I am still trying to figure out how to get sendmail to do this correctly. Philip -- System restarting, wait...
