tvlad

I would like to know if there are some really good games similar to Raptor or Tyrian under GPL, naturally.

Well, i finally figured it out :

http://www.slackware.org/book/index.php?so...urce=c2773.html

It's a really interesting read about the passwd and group files.

I know that, but i was trying the terminal way.How can i do that, i did a man useradd, but i didn't figure out.

When i create a new user, let's say i type adduser tvlad it also creates a group named tvlad, but when i check, tvlad isn't in any group.

Is this normal ????, shouldn't he be part by default in tvlad group or at least users group, as is the case in slackware ????

PS: Slack has a much nicer adduser.When u create a user u can choose his home, shell, group.......

Anon, i tried what u said and nothing changes.

I opened the bookmark manager, clicked on import and nothing happes, is this what happens to u bvc ?

Anyway, i have no clue why mozilla is behaving this way, maybe he ate smth bad and he can't digest it well. :D

When i click on a link to download smth, nothing happens.I am using a proxy, but i know for sure that the proxy is not to blame because in Windows i have the same Mozilla 1.1 with the same proxy and i can download everything.

Any ideas why this is happening in my Mdk 9 box ?

PS: With Galeon it works, so what's the deal ?

True, i can do as you say, but i still want to know if it can be done in a single comand.

Basicaly proftpd chroots the user in his home directory, so he can't go up, he can only go in directories created within his directory.Anyone know how to remove this behaviour ?

I tried several things but they didn't work.

After i uninstalled proftpd 1.2.5 and installed 1.2.7, when i connect with vlad, i can see every dir, even if i don't have:

<Directory *>

<Limit WRITE>

DenyAll

</Limit>

</Directory>

But i encountered another problem: If i login anonymously it takes me to my home dir : /home/ftp.

What should i modify to make proftpd take me to another directory by default.I tried changing <Anonymous ~ftp> TO <Anonymous /var/ftp> but i was still put into /home/ftp.

This is my config file for proftpd :

ServerName My first try

ServerType standalone

DefaultServer on

Port 21

Umask 022

MaxInstances 30

# Set the user and group that the server normally runs at.

User nobody

Group nogroup

# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.

<Directory /*>

AllowOverwrite on

</Directory>

# A basic anonymous configuration, no upload directories.

<Anonymous ~ftp>

User ftp

Group ftp

UserAlias anonymous ftp

RequireValidShell off

# Limit the maximum number of anonymous logins

MaxClients 10

DisplayLogin welcome.msg

DisplayFirstChdir .message

#Limit WRITE everywhere in the anonymous chroot

<Limit WRITE>

DenyAll

</Limit>

</Anonymous>

<Anonymous ~vlad>

AnonRequirePassword on

User vlad

Group vlad

RequireValidShell off

<Directory *>

<Limit WRITE>

DenyAll

</Limit>

</Directory>

</Anonymous>

<Anonymous ~root>

User root

Group root

AnonRequirePassword on

RequireValidShell off

</Anonymous>

<Global>

ServerIdent on ":)"

AccessDenyMsg Welcome

RootLogin on

</Global>

Now, if u take a look at user vlad, the config should let me when i log on with vlad to be able to see everything, but i can only see /home/vlad, and i can't go to let's say /etc.

What i would like to know is: WHAT must i add to proftpd.conf, to be able let's say with user vlad to see everything. :?:

If login with root i can see all the dirs, but i can't acces any of them, any ideas why ???????

What i want to do is a directory layouts similar to let's say ftp.linux.ro

that can be accesed anonymously.

I made it work, but when i log anonymous all i see is an empty dir, and that dir ain't empty.How can i see what's in that dir, and how can i add some more directories ????

The same happened to me, fuzzylizard.

I have proftpd installed on my Mdk system.

My proftpd has this config file http://www.proftpd.org/docs/configs/basic.conf

Now, how can i acces from my computer the ftp server (which is installed on my computer).I tried ftp.127.0.0.1, 192.168.0.100 (my nic's addres), localhost, but nothing works.

PS: proftpd is started, the syntax is ok.

If i connect with putty to a pc that has linux, and i put lynx to make a large download, how can i make sure that once i close putty, lynx will continue to download.

PS:lynx is opened within putty.

Thx.

Well....., both questions. :D

I know what a multysinc monitor is.Now from what i understand from you there is A big difference between those 2 lines, and i should leave everything the way it is, right ?

# 1024x768 @ 100Hz, 81.00 kHz hsync

Mode "1024x768"

DotClock 110.16

HTimings 1024 1056 1168 1360

VTimings 768 772 776 810

EndMode

If i used this i'd get 99.8 or 99.9 Hz.

When i tried this one i got exactly 100 Hz

# V-freq: 100.00 Hz // h-freq: 81.70 KHz

Modeline "1024x768" 124.84 1024 1088 1240 1528 768 768 771 817

The first i got it from: http://zaph.com/Modeline/Calculate.py?sec=232495

and the second from : http://www.dkfz-heidelberg.de/spec/linux/m...e/modeline2.cgi

Now, i want to ask u smth.My monitor keeps the screen adjustements for each resolution, but when i inserted either of those two lines, i had to adjust the image again, which means that the setting aren't exactly the same as those in windows.

With the second line i got 100 Hz, but the horizontal refresh was 81.7, while in windows it was 81.2, the differences are too small to matter, right ?

Actually from there u can download only the ebuilds, so i was wrong.

I just tried that and it doesn't work, samba thinks that * is a directory that my friend is sharing.

I found where http://www.gentoo.org/packages/sys-kernel/...oo-sources.html

All i needed was to go to gentoo.org, from there it was simple, but sometimes i'm really lazy.

Where can i download the kernel sources of Gentoo, cause i've heard they are patched with a lot of really useful patches .

I'd really apreciate if someone told me where i could get the low latency patch and pre-empt one and how to patch the kernel. :!:

Any easier way to do it ? Cause xvidtune is really hard to use.
