FLOSSIE - 41 booked, 9 more to break even
Brilliant! I just learned that 41 people have now booked to attend the FLOSSIE conference on Wednesday 18th. Feb at London Institute of Education. We can be confident of gaining at least 9 more to break even financially. Should we aim for a target of 100 ? This isn't only a conference for the converted! If you know anyone who doubts that FLOSS can save them money, or who's thinking of using FLOSS, do let them know about this event. The booking form is at: http://www.schoolforge.org.uk/flossie/registration_form.pdf John ****

If you mean at the console, you use the -a (for all) switch to ls: [adrian@computer]$ ls -a If you want this to be permanent, then you can use an alias: [adrian@computer]$ alias ls="ls -a" On your system ls is probably already aliased to be: ls --color so you could either find where this is and then add the -a switch, or alternatively in your ~/.bashrc file add the line: alias ls="ls -a" (same as the one you type at the command line) If you want a file browser to show dot files, then you probably need to look in the preferences or options menu for the file browser (konqueror, nautilus, mc, etc) Hope that helps, Seb James -- Managing Director, Educational Systems, Hypercube Systems Ltd Providing Open Source ICT solutions for schools.

On your system ls is probably already aliased to be:
ls --color
For SuSE, this is already set in ~/.profile
so you could either find where this is and then add the -a switch, or alternatively in your ~/.bashrc file add the line:
alias ls="ls -a"
No, I would add it to ~/.profile -- Thomas Adam ===== "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish you for all of them at once when you get better.

Thanks for the input guy's. As the rain has eventually abated, I may wander over and have a play :-) Adrian
Okay, how thick am I? "Show Hidden Files" seems to work quite well! :-) It must have been the rain putting me off :-)
Can anyone help please? I'm using apache, for our intranet (also using squid, but this is bypassed for local addresses) and want to password protect a folder at... file:/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/ict This equates to http://myipaddress/ict/ on a browser This folder also contains my .htaccess file which contains the following text... <SNIP> AuthType Basic AuthName "ict Dept. Only" AuthUserFile /.htpasswd/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/ict/PASSWD require valid-user </SNIP> I have tried several paths for my Password file(!), but it is now at... file:/.htpasswd/usr/local/httpd/htdocs/ict/ This contains my PASSWD file. I have one password in the format user:password crlf My first attempt for the PASSWD file was... file:/.htpasswd/ict/ Which seemed logical since the ict folder is in the root of the intranet. I can browse directly to http://myipaddress/ict/ from a browser on a networked machine. What am I doing wrong?

You probably need to set up overrides in the httpd.conf file
e.g.
--- "adrian.wells"

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's why.... You have to do: htpasswd -c htpasswd username in the same directory as your .htaccess file, and then try it. You might also find the following URL handy: http://linuxgazette.net/issue70/adam.html#configsecure -- Thomas Adam ===== "The Linux Weekend Mechanic" -- http://linuxgazette.net "TAG Editor" -- http://linuxgazette.net "<shrug> We'll just save up your sins, Thomas, and punish you for all of them at once when you get better.
