The other users can not use it. I've put the files in /opt/navigator/plugins with rwxr_xr_x permissions. I've done it from the donwload and from the user's plugins that work. The umpire plugin in /opt/navigaor/plugins does work for all users. Any ideas???

I do not think you have to allow port 20 if you are using NAT. Is this a true router or a PC acting as a router? If it is a true router, post your config, if you don't mind, or send privately and I can see if I can help. I have ran into this problem a lot in the past. My roomate is a Cisco guy and can surely help. -Chuck -----Original Message----- From: Spunk S.

I'm running 6.4. I have had to install a MAD16 Pro sound card into my system. It has the following chips on it: 1) OPTi 82c929A, 2) Crystal CS4231A-KL. I've read in the manual that this card is supported. I've tried installing the drivers with YAST2, and I've tried using "modprobe mad16 io-0x530 irq=7 dma=0 dma16=1" from the command line. I've tried every combination of these parameters that I can think of. Nothing seems to work. Anybody out there have this card working under Linux? How did you get it to work. Thanks for any help, Frustrated Jerry

In that time I've had people from all over the world sent me all types of parts and whole computers. Allot of what I've got has come from the SuSE list. These are a great group of people (can't say guys, there are a few girls on the list <G>). Yours is the first negative post I've got in these 18 months. I just got last week a 15" monitor from a guy here in Germany. A friend in Holland sent me three whole systems last June. So far I've got parts from Germany, Holland, UK, Canada, US, Japan, and Israel. Over all I've gotten enough to build 5 486s or PIs. I'm not asking anyone to run downtown and buy anything for me. In fact that is not the idea at all. Today there are millions of dollars of useable computer parts just laying around or worst being thrown away. What I am doing (and showing) is that these parts are not only still usable, they are still worth using. >>>Anf if anyone has a spare Cray for me..

Yast/Update question

It has been a few months since I've run the update function of YAST going through the FTP site for the source, so I tried it out last night. It said that it needed to acquire the system, so I couldn't use this while it was up. It wanted me to boot from CD2 (not an option as this is an old 486SX-33), or from a bootdisk. I've tried the bootdisk menu options update, but it couldn't use FTP since I don't have 64 megs of RAM (I have 48). When I boot the installed system, I end up with the same problem that I started with. Does someone have a suggestion on how I can go about with this update? Thanks -Jesse

Port Scans Legal, Judge Says!

By Kevin Poulsen A tiff between two IT contractors that spiraled into federal court ended last month with a U.S. district court ruling in Georgia that port scanning a network does not damage it, under a section of the anti-hacking laws that allows victims of cyber attack to sue an attacker. Last week both sides agreed not to appeal the decision by judge Thomas Thrash, who found that the value of time spent investigating a port scan can not be considered damage. "The statute clearly states that the damage must be an impairment to the integrity and availability of the network," wrote the judge, who found that a port scan impaired neither. http://www.securityfocus.com/templates/article.html?id=126 -- ----/ / _ Fred A.

This is because your router is using NAT to map from the outside. You must use an FTP client that allows passive transfers. FTP also uses port 20 as a control port. For example, if you are using CuteFTP, on the advanced tab you can select PASV mode, or I think older versions have a Use Firewall option.

I have my router set to pass ftp via port 21 to my SuSE machine but it's not fully connecting when I'm outside my network. I can connect without a problem inside my network but from the outside, it starts to connect but never lists the contents of my machine. I checked the logs and it does show that I did connect. I guess it could be my connection at work but I wanted to see if anyone else is seeing this...
