Two Questions...QUOta and DTK
by Michael Garabedian 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

I tried using the dtk intrusion detection system and I get errors within the code, has anyone been able to successfully use this package, then I will ask my question I think it has something to do with perl scripts Question 2 I am using quota and I had to import user directories into a new box. I imported them, had to recreate the quota.user file in the home directory I set up usrquota in the fstab file, and and reinitialized quota by rebooting,cause I put the script in the boot script after proc is loaded, like the howto said I use midnight commander to view files, and found that the quota user for the / directory is green with a "*" next to it, while the /home file is just grey, now when I type quota I should see a list of the files and disk usage for the users I have set it for(which I have) edquota -u <username> now I am trying to see why this wont work. Any ideas

Hello susers, I have installed vmware and it complains it wants to use the usb-uhci driver module instead of the alternate uhci. This is what I have in /etc/modules.conf: alias usb-hostadapter usb-uhci But anyway the uhci module is loaded. How do I force the usb-uhci to load instead of uhci??? Thanks everyone!

which editor delimiters for mysql?
by steve 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hi everyone. I prepare a datafile using the advanced editor that comes with 7.3 and send it into a mysql table. I use tabs betwen fields and press enter between records. When I look at the table under mysql, I first get one field per line (as if I had pressed enter after each field) before I get my table as I wrote it. Can anyone help with this? Thanks, Steve.

Eagletec 810M mainboard - bad video card performance?
by mylinuxmails eccent 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hi, Is there anybody who also uses a Eagletec 810M mainboard and experiences(ed) bad display quality. I have a workstation working on it and the quality of the display is bad ! Suse recognised the onboard graphics card as a SiS630 GUI Accelerator + 3D. (the only linux distro that actually recognized it !!) But the quality is not even near to what it suggests it should be. I can see everything on the screen but it is divided in very small horizontal lines. Any suggestions to a solutions? Thanx in advance. Cheers Filip

Re: [SLE] A Faster System

Hi; I've explained in more detail my system situation below. > I have a choice of hard disk setup options. Which one is faster for linux? > > 1.

Here's more details of the system. The above hard drive setup will use exactly the same components as I'm using now, so they are all compatable with SuSE. Both hard drives (EIDE) are of an identacle model (maxtor diamond max +) but one is 40Gb and one is 15Gb. I'm the only user on the system (my personal home desktop PC), with default desktop setup of SuSE 7.2 (updated to latest kernel, Xfree, etc). Here is a quick hardware list. 1Ghz athlon 512Mb of 133MHz RAM ASUS A7V motherboard Thanks again. -- --------- Darren Harmon http://users.breathemail.net/darren.harmon1/

X over ssh
by mylinuxmails eccent 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

Hi, advise welcome, so for the experts among you: _SITUATION:_ I have a server located behind a firewall at location A with portforwarding on port 22 to the server. WAN-IP of firewall is known. I have a workstation at location B for which the IP is not know to the outerworld and port 22 is not forwarded to that pc (just a regular pc) but to one of our office server instead. _WHAT I LIKE TO DO:_ run x over ssh from my pc to the server. Settings: I set the $DISPLAY on my pc to my IP address and run xhost + I set the $DISPLAY on the server side to my IP address also (at least this is how we do it for internal servers) and then run the x-application BUT: since my local pc's IP address is not know to the outside, this won't work. Does anybody know a work around. VPN maybe? If you need more information I 'll be glad to provide that. Thanx in advance. Cheers, Filip
