  1. <p align="center"><font face="arial, helvetica" size="+2" color="#FF0000"><b><i>Big Bold Red Italicized Text

     

    or even better:

    <p style="font-size : 18pt; color : #FF0000; background-color : #FFFFFF; text-align : center; font-family : Tahoma, Arial, "MS Sans Serif", sans-serif; font-weight : bold; text-decoration : italic;">BIG BOLD RED ITALICIZED TEXT</p>

     

    then it would be correct html4.0 or even xhtml1.1 :#:

  2. Fixed it.. I uninstalled mysql, reinstalled it with urpmi and after reboot it works. My problems all started when I used webmin to turn off some startup services and then decided to start using mysql again... whatever, time for 9.1 anyways :)

     

    Oh well :)

     

    And yeah i will install 9.1rc1 on my second computer tonight.

     

    so whats it like then????

  3. yeah I had the same problem ..... .this is what i did

     

    I found an older version in rpm, and installed that (this sets up all the links and stuff that are Mandrake specific)

     

    then I got then new version for mysql.com, and it installed fine .... go figure.

     

    this was on 8.2 with gcc 2.96 but I suspect that it might work on 9.x the same

  4. All my partitions for linux are reiserfs including boot. Just remember to use expert install and mark as many partitions as possible as extended.

     

    why mark as extended ??? what the advantage?

     

    I have 2 drives

    drive 1:

    2x primary (/boot swap)

    3x Extedend (/ /var/log /tmp)

     

    drive 2:

    1x primary (/home)

     

    all use ReiserFS ... if you have problems booting with ReiserFS on /boot then add ,notail, to /etc/fstab ... but Mandrake is pretty good and normally does all this for you.

  5. scoopy:

    postfix runs in a *kind of* chrooted environment

    Take a look at /var/spool/postfix there are some insteresting things there like: /var/spool/postfix/etc/resolv.conf

     

    this why postfix was using an old IP address. postfix had not been updated and therefore was using your old network settings.

  6. 1. man chkconfig

     

    example:

    chkconfig -del samba

     

    2. huh?

    you want to mount samba shares over the lan ??? nope does use IPTables...

    IPTables are TCP/IP packet sniffer, they don't control anything on your computer. What they do is check each and every packet that comes in to computer (or goes from your computer, or passes through you computer) if you want to turn off servers (example: pop3) you first of all shutdown your pop3 server

    bash $ /etc/init.d/postfix stop

    if you want to make sure that nobody can hack into your box through port 110 (thats the port pop3 uses) then you would block 110 with IPTables

     

    REJECT     tcp  --  anywhere             my.machine.name state NEW tcp dpt:110

    or something like that anyway :-)

  7. and thanks to some of their users (among whom I'm not included) this great forum was born as a substitute.

     

    thats crap !!! if it wasn't for the users that showed interest in this forum, it would naver have even started.

    Sure there are few people that put alot of time in at the beginning, and some people that continue to put a lot of time in (read: anon, cannonfodder :-) )

    but without visitors, this site is just a waste of internet space like many other sites.

     

    thats my point of view, from someone who has put a lot of time in, and appreciates seeing the effort "pay off" :-)

  8. you need to secure your php code a little more.

    Check that the file that is being opened is allowed to be opened (like in the Apache DocumentRoot)

     

    security breach

    http://omarserenity.com/funwithphp.php?../..../../etc/passwd

    although it says permission denied, you should dissallow ANY access to things outside your documnet root

    example:

    <?
    
    if(eregi("..",$var)) {
    
        echo "YOU F@#KING HACKER !!!!";
    
        exit;
    
    }
    
    ?>

    just a nice simple security check

     

    I've been caught by this one MANY times :oops:

  9. I have a linksys wireless bridge that bridges the connection seamlessly.

     

    The linksys is on a private network 192.168.218.96 ... which I can't see.

    My firewall has my public IP 202.27.218.96

    This way I didn't have to fight with drivers and crap like that.

    The Linux boxes just use normal old ethernet, that plugs into my bridge.

     

    It works Great!!!!

  10. ok all you Uber geeks !!! ... how many of you are running gentoo?

     

    how much better/worse is it?

     

    it looks like a killer to install, but I'm no n00bie, so what should I look out for? what pitfalls have you guys already encountered?

     

    and do I have recompile the kernel for SMP support :evil: ?

     

    and who can loan me a HDD so I don't wreck my Mandrake Disk :wink:
