Moveing SuSE 9.2 from IDE to SCSI
by Eduardo J. Vega A 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Hello guys... I got already SuSE 9.3 installed at /dev/hda but I need to move it to /dev/scd I know that I can move them by using dd, but, what else do I may need to change ? 1) Grub ? Which config files ? Should I do any other stuff rather than modify the new path at the Config files ? 2) FSTAB ? 3) Others ? Thanks --ed He who fights with monsters might take care lest he thereby become a monster.

Hi, Carl, See this thread http://www.openoffice.org/servlets/BrowseList?list=users&by=thread&from= 437730 You need to setup hylafax [http://www.hylafax.org] or efax.

Works, no problems, no crashes and it's been up for over 5 days now. I suppose you could argue the update shouldn't have gone ahead without checking your version of java first, but arguing about weather it broke itself or not is a moot point as there's not much you can do about it now. You could always switch to another BT client, or just update your java and be done with it. SteveC

Cups users who need to get .ps file from .dvi?
by Paul Elliott 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

The dvi2ps (which converts TeX .dvi files to postscript .ps files) is in the package lpdfilter for SuSE 9.3: http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/professional/lpdfilter.html But if you have cups, you can not install lpdfilter because it conficts with cups, cups-SUSE-ppds-dat, and cups-drivers-stp. According to yast2. So what is a cups user to do if he wants to send a .ps file to some one with a postscript printer (via email perhaps), if he has a .dvi file? -- Paul Elliott 1(512)837-1096 pelliott(a)io.com PMB 181, 11900 Metric Blvd Suite J http://www.io.com/~pelliott/pme/ Austin TX 78758-3117

Re: [SLE] setting multiple user id to 0 (zero) is bad ! Why?
by Chadley Wilson 01 Jul '05

Thanks Ken but I doubt anyone would hack the box, It isn't online as in the internet, 99% of the PCs are standalone, and only dial directly into our server which is hosted by us . You would need to their phone number which most of them don't even know, and then you would need the root passwd, and all the accounts have pretty good passwds. And I doubt that there are people in SA who sit behind a modem and randomly dial number to see if there is a modem on the other side. I guess the fact that the new systems which I have done , and which are working properly compared to the existing ones, will eventually prove my point.

setting multiple user id to 0 (zero) is bad ! Why?
by Chadley Wilson 01 Jul '05

01 Jul '05

Greetings, Friends, I am in a situation with my one clients who use - (Yes that one again!!), uucp. Now their previous techies set all the user id's for the system to 0 (zero) Oh! and all the GID's as well. Now I have come in and had to fix this, but I get resistance. I have only one good reason why not to right now, with uucp on one site all the files are transfered but not removed from the queue, only when I set the user id to 14 (IIRC) and the GID to 512, and of course changed all the on the relevant configs and files, would it clean the remote queue. This reason however has been flawed as we have other sites that work properly with all the UID's and GID's set to 0 (zero). I need more reasons, explaining how this affects the system integrity, and functionality, the trick here is they don't give two hoots about the security aspect. So to win my case professionally and cleverly, I ask for real opinions and reasons. Could you please assist. -- -- Chadley Wilson Production Line Superintendant Pinnacle Micro Manufacturers of Proline Computers ==================================== Exercise freedom, Use LINUX =====================================
