Noob-MDK91

Thanks Michel for the fast response I looked into "/usr/share/msec/prem.3" and there I found it: /home/ root.root 755 /home/* current 711 but as you said I first looked into "prem.4" and there i found this: /home/ root.adm 751 home/* current 700 so I changed the "700" to "755" and did not do msec 4 on the command line because I thought the cron job will do that later if not I can still do "msec 4" to do the job. QUESTION: If I change to "msec 3" will there be any service that quits. from 1 to 1000 :) jump all way off topic: isn't "shorewall" the same as "iptables" cause if I start shorewall it looks like iptables is also started that would mean that shorewall is just a EXTRA service that's running. I'm using pentium so every USELESS service should be stopped. of course I can be wrong here. Thanks for any help

I used Mandrake 8.1 but after I tryed upgrade it fail so I did a fresh install of Mandrake 9.1 Bamboo from the 3 iso files. maybe this is usefull: in lilo I can boot 3 options linux-secure //default so I leave it that way and boot failsave //never used this linux // maybe the unsecure version :) didn't try this own neighter Now I have postfix ready and want to connect to pop3 with outlook from where I send my mail. when I did "alt+F12" probably a log shell or so. it showed me : date hostname xinetd[32557]: start: pop3 pid=10136 from=192.168.0.20 date hostname xinetd[10136]: libwrap refused connection to pop3 from 192.168.0.20 date hostname xinetd[10136]: fail: pop3 libwrap from=192.168.0.20 Now does anyone seen this? when I do netstat -a net then it shows: tcp 0 0 hostame:pop3 *:* LISTEN so it is active I disables iptables and shorewall since I can't configure them yet I can't connectto my isp mailserver neighter. also I have SQUID running so I use that as my proxy for my lan pc's this server were talking about is a lan gateway and internet webserver If any other information is needed ask me please. any help would be great. thanks in advance, vincent stans

Hi everyone, I just installed Mandrake 9.1 from the 3 cd's I downloaded. Installed it on a old DELL/POWEREDGE by doing so: on a installed Mandrake 8.1 server copy all disks to /home/me-user (me-user = myname) made a hd.rdz disk for installing. Eveything went fine I dicided to upgrade to Mandrake 9.1 BAMBOO setting everything and then it says install complete. Okay then reboot Ohh now what got an KERNEL PANIC no init found after searching the net and looking into some forms I couldn't figure it out. so I did a fresh install of MDK9.1 formatting all disks exept /dev/sda8 because there is the Mandrake/base located. After selecting all packages I want to install everything went great. So now I can start my MDK9.1 worked fine but can't login as root. I can login as my-name witch I created in the SETUP and then do "su - root" witch works. (I'll be looking into the root problem later) HERE'S THE PROBLEM Got Apache 2.0 running and enabled public_html in the directory /home I have two users with the premissions set as followed example: /home/user1 drwx------ /home/user2` drwx------ now when I access //mydomain.com/~user1 It says Forbidden. so I do: chmod -c 755 user1 and now it has premission /home/user1 drwxr-xr-x and /mydomain.com/~user works but just for a while and then the directory has premission is: /home/user1 drwx------ how is this happend?? I also chmod public_html and changed the owner and group to apache public_html has DRWXR-XR-X and that is okay. Right? why does mandrake restores the premission on /home/* Any help would be nice. Thanks in advance, Vincent Stans
