Fedora Core 2-Modules loading problem + Unsuppoted Chipset

Hi, We have recently installed Fedora Core 2 on HCL Server with Super Micro X5DPL-8GM motherboard.

[OT] Switch. Dlink 5 port 10/100 non working. for free.
by Abhishek Daga 02 May '05

02 May '05

Got this switch Dlink DSS 5+, that barfed one fine day and is not working since then. tried whatever i could to get it working, but seems like a no-go. So any freak out there interested in playing with it and getting it to work or using it as a fashion statement, feel free to ping me offlist and pick it up. better it goes to a geek than to the raddiwala. if you can get it working, 2 brownie points for you for saving the world from a non biodegradable component. While we are at the topic of reusability, I could do with a Mboard for a Celeron 400. for free or paid ofcourse. thanks abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Re:Accessing home PC from office

Dear Soumen, Try Real VNC....! U can run it on a particular port...! Fire up ur web browser at office and u could get ur X-Window session....! Available for both Windows and Unices Real VNC is free and can be downloaded at http://www.realvnc.com/download.html ------------------------SNIP------------------------------------------------------ The VNC servers also contain a small web server. If you connect to this with a web browser, you can download the Java version of the viewer, and use this to view the server. You can then see your desktop from any Java-capable browser, unless you are using a proxy to connect to the web. The server listens for HTTP connections on port 5800+display number. So to view display 2 on machine 'snoopy', you would point your web browser at: http://snoopy:5802/The applet will prompt you for your password, and should then display the desktop. --------------------- SNIP-------------------------------------------------------------- Please let me know if this worked....! bye rgds biju __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

Most of the manufacturers (including the Phoren ones) completely ignore the standards prevalent in their parent countries. Most of the products we export are due to e nvironment advantages (basmati rice, mangoes, shrimp) which have ZERO tech inputs, clothes because cotton and hence upstream goods are made here with cheap labour, and highily customised products / services which require individual attention to get some performance. Nothing that we export is because of quality - imo exception being art (religion, music, dance etc). > but we just need to > work on the pricing factor and we'll be all set :) To have quality and cost effective manufacture we require massive infrastructure which would take atleast 20 yrs (and that is a very very charitable estimate) to reach the same level of say Japan today. We require total removal of government messing in business. We require total change in the political landscape (changing majority wins to proportional representation). Not to mention other baseline requirements like education, sanitation etc. We are where we are because most of our infrastructure was built by the brits (for their own ulterior purposes) otherwise we are about as great as Ghana (organise your gang, raid a diamond mine, mine diamonds until the next gang fills u with lead) or Yemen (10 mile trek for water) yawn same old story yr after yr. rgds jtd

Well yes using VNC or XClient is possible...! But the reason why i always used to do it via a physical console was coz anyways i had to go into the DC for putting the CD's in. But ur idea of loopback mounting the ISO is something i will definitely try out..! What if i have a the files and directories on the CD have been dumped and not the ISO...!

And about the cd, i've used the iso image via a loopback mount, and it installs fine (oracle server i mean, which also installs the client, i assume). do explore this option before loading a full X server environment onto the server.

How would he be able to tunnel his traffic through the windows proxy server. He, I assume is on a private IP using the proxy server to access the internet? He probably needs something like gotomypc.com software equivalent where he can remotely access his PC through his web browser. tarantella maybe??

hi all, i was trying to implement vnc on a remote server via ssh. suppose a normal non-root account is called "user1" and assume that via sudo, i want to allow that user to run any command as user root without specifying a password each time he logs in for running selected programs. So, in that file, i added added: user1 ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL I know this does not sound good for security , so hence my post to you all .... what are the security risks and what are the precautions to be taken ? I want to restrict a user (or any number of users) to only run certain applications: Any idea/input is welcome thanks for reading-- _svaksh_

As far as the major chunk (the actual raw materials) are concerned, they are not made in India with indian raw materials. Or to be more precise, even if they were made in india with indian inputs, the costing would work out much more. Ok, so India has advantage of labor, but it hardly helps when your product is to be built on a highly automated assembly line and labor is not much of a factor. you can still manage to find IBM Compatible desktop PCs in the US cheaper than the assembled ones in India. I think it's more cost price + margin than PPP as the driving point. Unless ofcourse, we are gauranteed uninteruppted cheap power, and electricity Transmission losses (Currently at 33% conservative estimates) are minimized, taxes are multiple surcharges arereduced yada yada. then maybe we can manufacture components in house and thus be more in line with PPP that relying on imports. even after all that, i fear the taiwanese will still kick our butts big time. they simply rock when it comes to churning out these things. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

VMWare for FC3 and FreeBSD on AMB Athlon XP

29 Apr '05

I am having some space constraints so hows this for a solution. On an existing desktop (AMD athlon XP, 256 MB) running FC3, can I also install FreeBSD using VMWare and run both simultaneously? FC3 is needed as the routine desktop and FreeBSD for testing. The usage of freeBSD OS will be via ssh so dont care about the gui. Has this worked for anyone? RAM is not a problem, if needed can surely add more. comments, tips, advice, warnings... all solicited. -abhi __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Hi, I installed Debian Sarge .. however it was a minimal install. So I don't think the desktop managers are installed. How do I install them now? RedHat had rpms.. I think the alternate here is apt install. What would be the fastest and simplest way to install Gnome for instance ? Thanks, Gishu Pillai

You can copy and distribute distros with Yast2. Make sure that there are no restricted packages in the Suse distro though.

IPSec / SSH question
by Shahed Moolji 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Hello all, I am in a situation, where I have a network admin, who has setup VPN access to our network, using IPSec. Now, all I want to be able to do, is use simple ssh, and if need be, tunnel a few protocols over it. I have done some reading up on ssh and IPSec, and see no security risk, in using ssh for what I want to do. But the network admin, just does not want to open up the ssh port. I can even try and suggest that he only open the firewall to my fixed IP address, and use keys rather than passwords, for ssh login auth, but other than password cracking, I am sure that simple ssh access, should not be a very serious security risk. Anyway, can someone please comment on this ? I am still trying to find a good article which discusses this issue. Thanks Shahed
