Jut got a digital voice recorder with a USB connection. Here is /var/log/messages when it is plugged into the computer... Oct 1 15:54:13 avalon kernel: usb 5-6.3: new full speed USB device using address 46 Oct 1 15:54:13 avalon kernel: ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: qh cdb48200 (#0) state 1 Oct 1 15:54:13 avalon kernel: usb 5-6.3: Product: M66291GP Oct 1 15:54:13 avalon kernel: usb 5-6.3: Manufacturer: Mitsubishi Oct 1 15:54:13 avalon /etc/hotplug/usb.agent[5911]: need a device for this command No device is created. I expected to see something like "/dev/sda1" similar to what heppens when a Compact Flash is plugged in. Is there anything I can do? -- Robert C. Paulsen, Jr. robert(a)paulsenonline.net

tar.gz
by steve-ss 01 Oct '04

Hi. I'm trying to backup our lan /home directory (20 boxes, 1 NIS server, all 9.1) to dvd. I can tar and gzip it from 6.4Gb to 4.4Gb. Today. Tomorrow a smaller /home may crush down to greater than the magical 4.7Gb. Is there a way to estimate the final .tar.gz size without having to wait the hours it takes to actually do it? Or WHY. I can't always be there to change media and the lan has to be quiet. Cheers, Steve.

Re: [Samba] 3.0.7 CUPS Conflict?

I have 3.0.7-1 and cups happily playing together on a 9.0 box that should be very close to what you are doing. If I recall, I did have to update: libsmbclient3-3.0.7-1.i586.rpm libsmbclient3-devel-3.0.7-1.i586.rpm I did the rpm -Uvh lib* before doing the rpm -Uvh sam* samba3-python-3.0.7-1.i586.rpm samba3-vscan-0.3.5-1.i586.rpm samba3-winbind-3.0.7-1.i586.rpm samba3-3.0.7-1.i586.rpm samba3-client-3.0.7-1.i586.rpm samba3-doc-3.0.7-1.i586.rpm samba3-pdb-3.0.7-1.i586.rpm all is working fine here. Hope this helps my cups version is: skyline:~ # rpm -qa | grep cup cups-drivers-1.1.19-52 cups-client-1.1.19-85 cups-1.1.19-85 cups-drivers-stp-1.1.19-52 cups-libs-1.1.19-85 This is older that your version, so you should be OK -- David C.

Hacking Question
by Chris Roubekas 01 Oct '04

01 Oct '04

Dear all, I have detected recently some users trying to gain access on my server via ssh. I have their IPs and found the servers that these users have access from. I have sent e-mail to the abuse e-mail addresses that they advertise but I have not received a single reply for the longest time now. Can someone tell me if there is a higher authority whom I can contact about this issue since the system admins which I send e-mail to, do not even ignoledge me?? Thank you Chris

I want to see the size of a directory. That's the directory and all its contents as a single number of bytes. It seems quite basic but man, info and google/linux have given me nothing. Is it possible?
