You can make them use a _restricted_ shell (rbash instead of bash) - take a look at "man bash", in "RESTRICTED SHELL" : the users are set chroot, so they can't get "higher" than they're home, but you have to provide a /bin, etc... for every single one of these users !

[S.u.S.E. Linux] make zdisk error
by hattons＠CPKWEBSER5.ncr.disa.mil 22 Apr '98

22 Apr '98

I just got my 5.2 and have installed it. I would like to customize the kernel to my needs. I used "make xconfig" to configure my kernel. I then attempted to compile with "make def zImage xdisk". (I boot from floppy.) The following error comes form the "zdisk" part of the "make" . Does anybody understand what is going on here? TIA, Steve make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/lib' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/lib' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/kernel' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/kernel' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/mm' make all_targets make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/mm' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all_targets'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/mm' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/mm' make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib' make all_targets make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all_targets'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib' make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib' ld -m elf_i386 -Ttext 0x100000 -e stext arch/i386/kernel/head.o init/main.o init/version.o \ arch/i386/kernel/kernel.o arch/i386/mm/mm.o kernel/kernel.o mm/mm.o fs/fs.o ipc/ipc.o net/network.a \ fs/filesystems.a \ drivers/block/block.a drivers/char/char.a drivers/net/net.a drivers/cdrom/cdrom.a driv ers/sound/sound.a drivers/pci/pci.a \ /usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/ lib/lib.a /usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/lib/lib.a -o vmlinux nm vmlinux | grep -v '$compiled$\|$\.o$$\|$ a $' | sort > System.map make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/boot' make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.0.33.pre.SuSE.3/arch/i386/boot/compressed' tmppiggy=/tmp/$$piggy;

[S.u.S.E. Linux] Linux databases with OS/2 or Java clients
by slk＠grace.acm.rpi.edu 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

<PRE> Does anybody know of a Linux database (really needs to have commercial support) with either Java or OS/2 clients? I know Adabas won't have a full java client until (I've been told) 1Q99 or so, and the Informix port is still mainly a rumor. (and wouldn't be ready until at least then anyway) Do the Adabas windows clients (from experience) run well under Win-OS2 (preferably both Warp 3 and 4, though just Warp 4 would be okay too) Another option would possibly be DB2 for SCO running under iBCS... has anybody had success (or failure) with this? I'm not sure I like the idea too much though, especially if they (later) only support Unixware (or whatever the latest iteration from SCO is called) Cost is not a major issue, but stability and either OS/2 or Java clients is.

[S.u.S.E. Linux] C-News problem
by suse＠wavenet.it 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

Excuse me for sending twice the same thing, but my provider lost my mail so I don' t know if you replied me. If so, please, resend you answer. I' m trying to configure C-News and Suck to download articles from a remote host and browse them offline with Tin but I have many problems. When i try to make a "sucknewsrc" typing "suck -A -hl localhost" from root, I get the following: Attempting to connect to localhost Using Port 119 Official host name: localhost Alias Voyager Address: 127.0.0.1 Connected to localhost 200 Voyager NNTP[auth] server version 1.5.12.1 (1 Jan 1995) ready at Sat Apr 18 23:21:45 1998 (posting ok).

The only thing it writes is a "suck.newrc" in the directory from where I typed the command above. So I' ve edited /var/lib/suck/sucknewsrc by hand entering newsgroup names by hand but suck does not seem to find it. What did I miss? Do I have to run all suck processes as user news staying in directory /var/lib/suck? Which command do I have to type to start news downloading? "/var/lib/suck/get.news.rnews"? As user news? I' ve edited /var/lib/suck/get.news.rnews but what should I write in "BASEDIR= # base directory for suck rpost and scripts"?? Suck executable is in /usr/bin Rpost is in /usr/bin Scripts... which scripts? I' ve put get.news.rnews and other things in /usr/lib/suck. Which value should I write? Lastly I tried to run "suck -A -hl localhost" in /var/lib/suck/ as user news and I got the following: news@Voyager:/var/lib/suck > suck -A -hl localhost /var/lib/suck/cola: No such file or directory Attempting to connect to localhost Using Port 119 Official host name: localhost Alias Voyager Address: 127.0.0.1 Connected to localhost 200 Voyager NNTP[auth] server version 1.5.12.1 (1 Jan 1995) ready at Sun Apr 19 00:29:59 1998 (posting ok).

[S.u.S.E. Linux] LS-120; Linux -vs- win(?)95
by jkrough＠mindspring.com 21 Apr '98

21 Apr '98

An interesting bit of info for LS-120 users or those who are considering purchasing one. I have discovered that my LS-120 drive is up to 10X faster at certain tasks then win(?)95. I was really surprised at the degree to which the drive was faster under Linux. I had been completely disappointed with the performance under win(?)95 and was considering dumping the drive altogether. I wrote a 10MB file to the LS-120 4X under Linux 4X faster then it took to read a 4MB file from the LS-120 and copy it to the hard drive. I have one question. I was reading an article on ziff davis's web site and I have been wondering, is an "enterprise" server the ship that supplies Captain Kirk with tarts?
