Instead of dealing with a dialing server and routing and so forth with that, an elegant (though pricey) solution to this problem is a ISDN LAN modem. I chose this option, even though it was more expensive, because I screw around with my machines a lot (I run NT, linux, BeOS, FreeBSD and OpenBSD on one machine alone) and when I screw up the one that dials in, I have no net access under that OS (or sometimes, any). The LAN modem is OS agnostic and configured through a built in http server. I just use a web browser to configure and then leave it alone. Since I have several machines on my network, it's better for me because I only have to set the default gateway and the DNS server to the address of the modem (determined by me) on each of the machines and it simply works. I know it's pricy and some people like the pain of setting up stuff like this, but it's an option. I work as a admin at work. When I come home, I just want it to work :-) - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo(a)suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

It would sit right next to the Red Hat and Debian groups in linux.suse.*. If nothing else, SuSE may get more defections from RH and others. I switch to SuSE when I saw it at Borders and was having lots of trouble with Red Hat.

by myfish＠dial.pipex.com 27 Jan '99

27 Jan '99

If for example,i wanted to change a user xxxx to yyyy without destroying (a) the home directory (b) not invoke copying from /etc/skeleton (c) not change the UID (d) recursivly change the ownership of all files placed across the system by xxxx to yyyy (e) retain permissions for the new user yyyy to access db files etc.(this last one maybe not work).
