Look in ifrename manpage and check the file that it reads as input by default. I think it is /etc/iftab, but not sure.

Proof of concept on Multi Platform Virus
by Boyd Lynn Gerber 09 Apr '06

09 Apr '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 " Cross-platform Virus Infects Linux And Windows By Gregg Keizer, TechWeb News A Russian security company announced Friday that it had found a cross-over virus that can infect PCs running either the open-source Linux or Microsoft Windows operating systems. Dubbed "Linux.Bi.a" and "Win32.Bi.a," the split-personality malware doesn't do any damage. Instead, said Moscow-based Kaspersky Labs in an online briefing, it's a proof-of-concept to prove that a cross-platform virus is possible. "However, our experience shows that once proof-of-concept code is released, virus writers are usually quick to take the code, and adapt it for their own use," wrote a Kaspersky analyst in the briefing." http://www.techweb.com/wire/security/184429692 - -- Boyd Gerber <gerberb(a)zenez.com> ZENEZ 1042 East Fort Union #135, Midvale Utah 84047 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://quantumlab.net/pine_privacy_guard/ iD8DBQFEN0NeVtBjDid73eYRApsPAJ9ASt0bFWguHWLPY5kVIxxXlMw/eQCePViJ J9by36bHDEA8Vf4x7T4GvTc= =yW2H -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

No, it has to deal with solving your problem. Your problem is getting your son to learn responsibility in using the internet. Your problem is not with administering your network.

If you don't like my contributions, then you don't have to post your problems. Why should I post a technical solution, if I think it will make your real problem worse? You are supposed to be grateful for all input ;P. And if you don't like a response to your parenting problem, then don't post your parenting problem. After all this is a LINUX technical list ;P. Unless you went to a parenting list first, and they gave you this as the solution. > > Looking at your email address, you may want to look at BBC news about > the Internet in U.K. > Maybe your passport shows a too young age to understand it now. Keep > this email and reread it when you are mature to have a child in the age > of 13. Actually, this is a fairly usual reaction. It tends to reinforce my initial premise that your issue is that you are too controlling as a parent. What really gets you is that I am challenging your authority in the home. Of course, if you felt secure about it, you wouldn't react, but then you probably wouldn't be posting, and definitely not here. A controlling parent decides on a technical solution to their parenting problem, and is told its a parenting problem. Then said parent throws a tantrum and [without fail] asserts their own maturity as a parent against the respondent. Of course if you had it sorted as a parent, you wouldn't be posting, so perhaps some humility is due. And just to get to the core of the real problem, it's issues with the parent component of the parenting relationship. You are a CEO. Again, it fits a pattern, it is often people who express their own position confidently who raise this particular question. They really don't like it when their 13 year old flexes his will against the CEO. And having their weakness exposed on a mailing list really gets them going. I hope for your son's sake you get your attitude sorted and you can lighten up enough from being a CEO to actually engage with your son doing his school work, without actually controlling what he hands in. [Next post from RW: Even more anger, direct challenge to state my own parenting credentials, some expression of desperation over the need to control his son, in case he does not turn out to be a CEO and in every respect the image of his father. Sorry, I am stereotyping, but it really does go with the territory of controlling a child's internet use by technical means. Previous experience is that if I post a response to this one, a new ID is created and a load of abuse is then delivered in a misplaced attempt to 'get even', which really exposes the motivations. Plus the subsequent stalking. But I put up with it, because on this issue, my sympathies are with the child. Of course, it is totally unfair to tar you with the behaviour of someone else, so let's leave it there.]

Suse 10 + Parallels
by Art Fore 09 Apr '06

Has anyone tried the Parallels VM software (www.parallels.com) with Suse 10.0? If so, how does it do using WinXP as a guest operating system? I have installed it on my laptop and am installing XP right now. Seems to go pretty good, buy would like to hear anyone else's experience with it. Art

Avoid this approach. OK, this is a Linux list and the reasons for avoiding this approach are probably off topic, but in essence you are putting yourself in a position of controlling someone who is becoming an adult and who needs to learn to control himself. By constraining what is possible, you are teaching that anything which is possible is permissible. That's a bad lesson, and you should be prepared to sacrifice all the schoolwork in the world to avoid teaching it. It's a familiar question, and you are a good deal more open about it than many - I have several times seen it, without a child being mentioned, and someone replies and mentions 'your child' - at which other posters say 'what child' - and then it turns out to be a child who is being controlled, sometimes a 17 year old. And then the thread goes sour, when someone says 'perhaps you should not try to exercise control in this way' and the original poster says 'who the hell are you to tell me how to bring up my child?' At 13, you might think it is appropriate to do control by technical means, but then you will need an exit strategy over the next few years during which you will be working through all the things you need to work through now, only a few years late, with a more resentful son. Or you could let him leave home, go to college at 19, never having exited from this control at home, and he will not have learned self discipline, with predictably bad consequences. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com

virtualisation
by Doug McGarrett 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Mac owners may be interested in a program which will (I don't know if you can actually get it yet) allow the Mac (with Intelprocessors) run OS-X, XP, Linux, and maybe some other os's all simultaneously, and cut and paste between them. Program is called Parallel's Workstation. More info from Robert X. Cringely in today's (April 8) NY Times, and from TechWorld at <http://www.techworld.com/opsys/news/index.cfm?newsID=5712> I didn't see anything that says how fast or slow you run with this. Well, I don't have a Mac, and probably never will, but I know some readers here do, so I figured I'd pass this on. --dm -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.

yast to update suse10 not working
by Serge Naggar 08 Apr '06

08 Apr '06

Hi, Within the last couple of weeks I seem to have lost the ability to update the suse 10 system using yast with the rpm patches I download. I can use the rpm function for rpm updates but not the control center's yast. I usually update the system with the suse 10 patches for linux, kdebase, kdeapps, gnomebase and gnomeapps plus samba, evolution [though I can't get evolution to 2.6 as I can't find gtkhtml2 > 3.10] and openoffice. I suspect that I must have blown something in yast with the updates?? Has anybody experienced the same situation? solved it? Any ideas, solutions welcome. Thank you. -- Cheers, Serge

I have done all the things recommended here..but none seem to address ver 10. It sees the scanner, but keeps trying to config a scsi connection (I think) rather than a USB. I have tried regular driver & the new epkowa one. There seems to be no recent info on the web. -- Gracia...Cooleemee, NC Registered Linux user #263390 - SuSE 10 Pro My country, right or wrong.
