    Can't connect to asterisk server with SIP (timeout)

    G'day, try setting username and secret to digits. I typically use 200 for the username and 200 for the password, at least in testing 8-) I use trixbox to setup my stuff. Regards, Dave.

    Linux Security - Root Privileges

    Hello, try this: open Control Center. Go to System Administration then Login Manager. Click on Administrator Mode, login with root password. Now select Shutdown tab. Under the Allow Shutdown, select Root only. Not exactly what you wanted but it stops normal users from shutting down. Dave.

    Network Architeture suggestions-One switch, One ADSL Modem

    G'day blinton25, I don't see any problem with the setup mentioned. First off, is it really a switch or a hub? Is it 10/100Mbps? Is it a managed switch with some weird settings? What about the NICs in the PCs, are they 100Mbps? What are you using to gauge the speed? Internet speed can be...

    Long Distance Wireless

    Hmmmm, are these two networks in different subnets? If they are NOT then simply use two wireless bridges with high gain directional antennas. If they are in different subnets then bridge them anyway and stick your NAT box at one end. The bridged link is just like a long bit of cable. I do not...

    WEP breaks DHCP requests through AP?

    Gday, you say you are using laptops? I have a problem with my laptop at home where I can associate with the AP but not get an IP. This occurs only if I am on battery power. On mains it is no problem. Strangely I can connect with the AP (a different brand) at the office on battery or mains...

    What is /proc/kcore?

    G'day all, motoslide, may I suggest you hunt around google and linux admin sites for info on inodes. I recall a similar problem someone had a while ago and while df showed space available, they could not create any files due to lack of inodes. I cannot recall how to check how many are left...

    Wireless Internet access like Internet Cafes.

    G'day, Netcomm make a unit called the HS800. It is a wireless hotspot unit. It comes with a thermal printer and is very easy to setup. It looks after username/password generation and you can set the $/hr rate yourself. www.netcomm.com.au Regards, Dave.

    concatenate two text files

    G'day, this should do it: cat file1 file2 > file3 This will concatenate file1 and file2 and redirect the output to file3. Of course you can add more files by adding more files to the above line. If you wish to append to the output file, then use ">>" instead of ">" Have fun, Dave.

    linux 8.0 network card

    G'day, have you done a dmesg? Does it show the kernel loading the drivers? What about ifconfig, what does it show? Dave.

    Installed packages - Where are the binaries?

    G'day, I have not used SUSE but I might recommend looking in /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin for binaries looking like te_pdf etc. Are these package names above in your list? If so perhaps you can use SUSE programs to show the contents of them which should give you the paths to the binaries. Hope...

    Completely new to Linux, trying to install Syslog

    G'day, you would be wise to start reading (a lot 8-) ) As thedaver said, devices like firewalls and routers can spit out syslog type messages. In their configuration screens there will be somewhere where you tell it the name of the linux box with syslog running on it. Most distros have syslog...

    Linux Backup on external USB dirve

    G'day, have you tried searching at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages.en-gb.html#search_packages I got 9 results for 'backup' As long as the USB drives are mounted somewhere on your file system, then there should be no problem backing up to them. My 2c worth, Dave.

    Running an Executable File in Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES for the x86

    G'day, try doing this: file ./R89211.exe this will tell you what type of file it is. As the others have said, I suspect you need a boot floppy or similar. Dave.

    file/directory permissions...

    G'day shadedecho, I've been away for a few days, so a late reply. I have not really looked in detail at them but have you tried ACL's (access control lists)? Perhaps do a google on them. Regards, Dave.

    file/directory permissions...

    G'day, I don't know if this is exactly what you want but you might try this. Create the files you want in /home/john/test (as root or whoever) then do chattr +i /home/john/test man chattr will reveal all. This will prevent deleting anything in /home/john/test but allows viewing og the files...

    tips and useful website

    G'day Midrange, Welcome to Linux. Might I suggest visiting www.redhat.com for a start. Also www.linux.org, www.linux.com.... Do a search on google or better still www.google.com/linux for anything linux related. Good luck. Dave.

    killing stubborn process

    G'day *, just wondering if any of you know how to kill a stubborn process. There are few of them with a "D" in the STAT column of the 'ps ax' command output. The man page for ps says this is an uninteruptible sleep but even with 'kill -9 PID', where PID is the pid of the process concerned...

    Linux IP Change

    Perhaps try /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 In there you should find the current IP address. You will need to re-run the file to activate it. Dave.

    Linux Antivirus

    G'day guys, did you try clamscan -r /mnt/hdb1? The -r is for recursive scanning i.e. drills down all directories (folders for windog users). As it happens I am scanning my windog partition as I type. Hope this helps, Dave.
