    Mounting Windows in dual boot

    FYI If the windows filesystem is NTFS, you will not be able to write to it. Linux only mounts the NTFS in read-only and cannot be changed even with a remount.

    can i ssh in to my server if /usr and /var fill up all the way?

    Where are your home directories? You will need room there. Also, you need room in /tmp for the mcop entries if you are using a Mandrake installation. The answer to your question then is &quot;maybe&quot;.

    MODEM DIALIN CONNECTION

    You should use mgetty instead of the obsolete agetty. The command is similar, but mgetty is designed for modems, agetty was a catchall. The command would be: d1:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty /dev/ttyS0 DT57600.

    Migrating Windows to Linux

    You cannot write to an NTFS files system even if you remount it in rw mode. I am told it is either a bug in Linux or (I believe this to be more likely), a problem with security in NTFS file systems. NTFS can be mounted and files can be copied off however which may provide an avenue for the...

    -r-s--x--x

    Superuser. Gives the file more permissions rather than the owner or group.

    Disk crash:Any hopes/suggestions?

    IBM hds are notorious for motor problems. Thats why they no longer make drives themselves. If the motor has failed, it may not be possible to get the data back without sending it to a data recovery service. One suggestion, BUT BE CAREFUL because it only works if it is the motor, is we have...

    Printing disappears into the ether RH 8

    You should check your print queue. The jobs are probably still there. lpstat -t or lpstat -a will diplay the queue. If there are jobs pending, you should cancel them, restart lpd, then send a fresh job. lpstat will tell you the status of the latest job and if any errors occured. You can...

    getting computer online

    What's your gateway? How are you connected? Need more info on the method of connection and hardware to the outside.

    ssh and certificates...

    You need to cat the id_dsa.pub into the authorized_keys of the machine where you want the connection. So, if server1 wants to connect to server2, cat id_dsa.pub from server1 to the authgorized keys of server2. If the server is behind a firewall, you can redirect a port from the firewall to the...

    tftp server running on multiple ethernet interfaces

    Any firewall rules running? Sounds like the requests are being blocked. Can you telnet to yourself on the address of the card not working?

    Do you use or know LTSP (linux terminal server project)?

    We use a Celeron 1.3gHz on an AOpen MX36LE mother board in an atx case. The only issue is that it uses PXE boot. The way to circumvent this is to go to www.rom-o-matic.net and create a boot image for the built-in nic. The image will kick up etherboot to alleviate the pxe problem. Tftp, ltsp...

    Remote connections

    We use a 3com intenral pci modem that works. The kernel installs it as ttyS4 by default. Enable the port and you should be able to dial into it.

    Hard drive failure

    Try removing the first drive, setting the second drive to master(assuming IDE), and then see if the system recognizes the drive. If it does, boot off the distro CD and mount the drive. Iff there is damage to files, you can fix them at that point. You can also get any info off the drive if it...

    VPN Server + Dynamic DNS

    To answer your last question, yes, all bosses and/or salespeople sell solutions that may or may not work. Unfortunately, that is the way of the world. The only good that comes out of it is that we get to learn more and be creative in our solutions. The downside is more hours for less pay. Sigh!!

    Setting up fire wall and ethernet with modem connection

    Just need a nic in the firewall and then a cable for peer to peer (crossover) or a cable to a sitch/hub (&quot;straight&quot; through). Connection to the internet can then be shared using the setup for the firewall. You will need to forward your ips and masq set up on the firewall. The...

    Hi! Have you installed a Printer

    If you are using the printer connected to a windows box, you will need to set up Samba to print. Then you need to set up the print queue using one of the print services, cuos or lprng. The print service can be set up through printtool, then select a remote printer configuration. You will need...
