Adam,
There are a few things you can do to deal with this:
From the gui...there is a program called red-carpet...get it here:
www.ximian.com
From the command line there are two packages:
apt-get - this is a debian port of the apt program for RedHat
rpmfind - another tool that does a similar thing
There actually quite a few others..BIMO these are a few of the best.
Mike

I know this is very shameless, but I have a bunch of 4 port nics for sale if
anyone out there is considering building their own router. 4 port nics come
in VERY handy for such a project.
Please email me off list if interested.

RFC 2131 does specify the ability to define static routes, but whether your
server and client make it easy to do this is another question altogether.
ISC's dhcpd.conf(5) man page doesn't mention anything about it. Some
clients
may require custom scripts to handle the configuration of any uncommon or
custom options as well.
RFC 1533 also specifies it. If you have a server & client that fully
implements those RFCs, you should be able to do it simply. If not, you'll
have to hack it together yourself.

This doesn't work either....when I type "Mozilla" from the command line I
get exactly no errors...and nothing seems to get logged anywhere.
But Brian ThunderEagle stumbled across the answer. Here is how we found it:
We launched mozilla-bin. Evidently Mozilla is a script that then launches
mozilla-bin.
After launching the mozilla-bin we got GTK errors. Brian rightly checked
google groups for the answer. He then followed some links that had
information about how the...now get this...the Redmond theme....doesn't work
with mozilla.
We got a little chuckle out of that!
Anyway, we changed our theme to something more compatible and now it works.
Thanks for all the feedback!
For those of you who don't know what a theme is:
I don't either, but it is the thing that changes how your windows look in X.

Hey Bryan...
Ok... 300 MHz isn't so bad... Hmmm the 32 Megs though is very limiting... What do you have your swap space set as? Any chance you could go though and increase the memory in this machine? (Comp-USA should have some)
When you do the system monitoring is that with KDE running? I imagine that you're running into the bottom of the barrel, with regards to memory. If you're running system monitoring tools, they're probably sucking up the last remaining memory.. and you're getting system feedback... Of course if you've got a decent swap setup then this paragraph isn't valid.

My uncle has a Compaq laptop with a K6-2 running at 300 MHz (maybe more). I put Mandrake 8.1 on it for him, setup with KDE, and it runs like a dog. It only has 32 megs of RAM, which I'm sure is part of the problem, but here's the funny part:
The 'free' command shows ~1meg free on the Mem line, like normal, but about 12-18 megs free on the "+/- buffers/cache" line. And even when several programs are running, and top shows a load average as high as 5, it still reports a CPU load of around 50%.
The system monitor tools don't seem to be reporting numbers that make sense, given the behavior of the system. Can someone enlighten me as to what's happening -- and even better, how to make the system more responsive?

First off: remember that shell scripts execute line by line, and they don't continue until the command from the previous line exits. So your su line spawns a shell and the script does nothing else until you exit that shell.
Second: you'd be better off with a setuid wrapper instead of a shell script -- do you really want your *root* password in a *text* file on that box?! At least with a setuid wrapper you'd only risk exposing your Windows password, but if you make it only group readable by a group only *you* belong to, that's marginally better.
Here's an example of a C program that I use to do exactly this at work (with the logon/host specifics munged for security). Keep in mind that using the other options for mounting (uid/gid) you don't have to make it world rw like you are above. Always do things as securely as possible:
// winmount.c -- Setuid wrapper for mounting my Windows home directory on the // the server // // $Id: winmount.c,v 0.2 2003/03/06 23:34:01 acorliss Exp acorliss $ //
#include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/types.h>
#define USAGE "Usage: winmount [-m] [-u]\n\t-m\tMount SMB share\n\t-u\tUnmount SMB share \n" #define F1 "-m" #define F2 "-u"
int main(int argc, char * argv[]) {
setreuid (geteuid (), getuid ());
// Make sure we have an argument and it's a legitimate option if (argc != 2 || (strcmp(argv[1], F1) != 0 && strcmp(argv[1], F2) != 0)) { printf(USAGE); return 1; }
if (strcmp(argv[1], F1) == 0) { execl("/bin/mount", "mount", "-t", "smbfs", "-o", "username=foo,password=bar,uid=10892,gid=100", "//homeserver/foo$", "/mnt", 0); } else if (strcmp(argv[1], F2) == 0) { execl("/bin/umount", "umount", "/mnt", 0); } }

As I mentioned in my previous post, using the uid/gid options for mount will set the owner and group of the files in the file system. My example allows my user account to do all the I/O without root privileges.

You probably need a newer version of oss.
It looks like their latest release ,3.9.7h, is the first to support that card.
You might also want to check out the alsa drivers

Are there some good ways to verify that a website is secure? Other than the obvious "OK, boys...come and get it!"

If you have any kind of CGI or dynamic generation going on it's damned near impossible to guarantee your site is secure. You have a slightly better chance with a static site, being that Apache is the only thing you have worry about.

'dpkg -s <package name>' or 'apt-cache showpkg <package name>', This works on a Debian system , you didn't mention what OS you are using. -- Greg Madden Precision Air Balance, Inc. Phone: 907-276-0461 email: pabi@gci.net

Try the man page for RPM or Google. I am pretty sure RPM + options can do what you want. -- Greg Madden Precision Air Balance, Inc. Phone: 907-276-0461 email: pabi@gci.net
