Re: [SLE] Making symlink work under /usr/local/ftp directory...

If a user listed in /etc/ftpchroot logs in via FTP the FTP server changes the root directory to the user's home directory, i.e., the user can't access files outside of his home directory via FTP. Since a symbolic link is only a reference to another filename it is interpreted relative to the current root directory. If anonymous is listed in /etc/ftpchroot the symlink points to /usr/local/ftp/mnt/raid1 when accessed from an anoymous FTP login. If you want the filesystem to be accessible from within the chroot environment, it must be mounted below /usr/local/ftp.

Re: [SLE] xwindows broken after upgrading via ftp to 7.0 stuff
by Stuart Barbee 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

Jack, I had the same problem when I upgraded a few weeks ago and, after investigating, found that SuSE had changed permissions to add a little security to the X-window system. Any ID that you want to be able to run X windows has to be added to a group called "xok" so users can access the /usr/X11R6/bin directory. Try that.

[SLE] EMERGENCY - CANNOT BOOT MAIN SYSTEM!
by Oliver Ob 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

Hello Chodura and unorthodox friends :-) Problem is this: I booted using LILO with spelling mistake as "boot=/dev/hda1" instead of correct "boot/dev/hda2". Since that, I cannot access /dev/hda1 which is my DOS partition with valuable data. So, I tried to boot from CD and trief to mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/c and the error is: "/dev/hda1 has wrong major or minor number" whereas the fdisk partition table shows everything o.k. . Obviously, however, the partition table or the fat1 has been destroyed. What can I do here to rescue my files (/dev/hda1 has NOT been formatted since error occurence, so the files MUST be there). simply re-editting and re-starting LILO does no success. O.k. I will leave it to talents as you are. hope that helps ;-) O -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq

Is the RPM database compatible between 3.0.4 & 3.0.5? In other words, if 3.0.5 doesn't work for me can I downgrade without problems?

Making symlink work under /usr/local/ftp directory...
by Christopher D. Reimer 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

Greetings! I have a "pub" directory on my file server that is mounted as /mnt/raid1, the files are owned by "nobody", belong to "nogroup", and have read/write permissions set to "0777", and is normally accessible by Samba. I would like to set up this directory for anonymous ftp access since file transfer by FTP is significantly faster than by Samba. (This is a small home network, so security is relax.) I deleted the "pub" directory from /usr/local/ftp, and replaced it with a "pub" symlink to /mnt/raid1. When I try to change to that directory, it won't allow me to do so. Do I list anonymous in /etc/chftp? Do I have to change the permissions that work fine under Samba? Thanks! Christopher Reimer

koffice & 2.0.1 - broken?
by Steven T. Hatton 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

I don't know if this was working before I upgraded, though I believe it was. I upgraded my KDE2 to the latest SuSE downloads and now get this error when I try to start kspread or kpresenter: kspread: error in loading shared libraries: /opt/kde2/lib/libkofficecore.so.1: undefined symbol: create__Q26KParts7FactoryP7QObjectPCcT2RC11QStringList Anybody else? This broke the first time I upgraded to 2.0.1, and I have done a complete reinstallation since then. Steve

Opinions on Slashdot....
by Matthew Johnson 27 Jan '01

27 Jan '01

Good day, I know this may not be the place, but I have found Slashdot to be one of the worst places of information or news for anyone. Especially for Linux newbies... Unfortuantly I see a lot of mis-information or mis-understanding on there. My question is: What do people use for news concerning Tech news that is accurate? I know I use newsforge and linuxtoday, is there anymore? Matt
