Hello! ;>

 

i would like to restrict users so that they cannot use specific commands. Like user cant execute "top" or "irssi".

I dont want that root will be the only user who could execute binaries. But that i could restrict only that users that i want to.

 

I know about iptables, to block outbound ports... but this is not what i want.

 

I have some script to restrict that but it is not so secure...

 

Allow me to start off by saying that I have tried everything in my knowledge.

Basically, I'm trying to mount my /dev/hdb1 secondary hard drive (that I thought was mounted from the beginning, which subsequently lead up to the filling up of my hda) but I have been unsuccessful in every attempt.

 

I have been having a great many problems with mounting hard drives, etc, and I think that this error may have something to do with it. Does anybody recognise this ?

 

Hello all,

 

I don't quite know where to start on this upgrade. I want the upgrade to get two servers running the same version of MySQL. I have mysql 4.0 in /usr/local/mysql/ so how would I remove that install and replace with 4.1?

 

The whole reason for this is because of a snort error (I know jack about snort);

ERROR: database: mysql_error: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

 

After reading the solution for some folks, with the following

 

mysql> UPDATE mysql.user SET Password = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd') WHERE Host = 'SomeIP' AND User = 'root';

mysql> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;

 

Did not work

 

and

 

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'SomeIP' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');

ERROR 1133 (42000): Can't find any matching row in the user table

 

obviously did not work, I read I can just upgrade mysql to 4.1 to resolve the password problems, the trouble is...I have never upgraded mysql.

 

Help?

Well. I've gone and done it now. While none of you are familiar with my history concerning Linux and various distros, I've been using them off and on for the past ten, maybe eleven years. And a year or so ago, I promised myself--promised, I tell you!--that I wouldn't go back to using Linux. So many things just aren't the familiar 'Bindows' feel. But then there's the aspect of learning more about something that I find interesting, and that is something I just cannot resist.

 

So, I've gone and done it again... gone back to Linux. But this is my first time joining any sort of support forum, so perhaps I'll have more luck this time around. Woe is me, I'm losing my mind...

 

Anyway, I'm here, saying hi to all of you strangers (Hi there.) and hoping that any issues I have I'll be able to find the answers to. Here's for luck and insanity!

Thankfully there are facilities available which make it a simple job to install Sun's Java as a Debian package.

 

Two packages we're going to need are java-package, and fakeroot. These can be installed simply:

 

• [url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp]http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
  

• Ask you for your name
  
  
• Ask you for your email address
  
  
• Display a license agreement:<ul><li>Press Space to scroll down, or q to quit.
  
  
• Type "yes" to indicate you agree with the terms.
  
  

Is anybody here willing to help me how to install and run Invision Power Board on my Linux server from home?

 

I currently use Ubuntu as Linux distro.

 

I have 850Mhz PIII, 380mb of SDRAM and 18gig SCSI drive.

 

If I need to do some special Linux installation from the scratch I am ready to do that as well.

 

Thanks

Third time I am planing to migrate to Linux........ [img]<___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_laugh.png[/img]

mplayer will do this fine if you set it to 'open gl'

 

for those of you that didn't know, linux-noob.com has a 'video' portal which contains videos (windows and linux)!

Does anyone have a good guide to Gnome and/or KDE Themes and how to install and use them?

 

I like a lot of the themes I see at *-look.org (i.e. kde-look.org) but I download them and attempt to install/use them in the Look & Feel Options in KDE but they do not load/work when I select certain files (mainly XML). The same thing happens when I try to install/use them in GNOME.

 

Just wondering if anyone has a useful guide or site for either of those X desktop managers and how to use themes with them. Also, any other good sites with up-to-date themes would be useful too :)
