I have a problem relating root privilages. I want root privilage to my account.

Why not login as root then?

(See this if your login manager doesn't display the user root

http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/sh...hreadid=182949)

The other solution is to change your UID to 0 (zero) through the user manager

or edit (as root) /etc/passwd and change the third value of your login entry.

From what I can tell the problem is that XDMCP doesn't work with XKB (at least not in my setup).

When I run X locally (through startx or g/k/xdm) it reads /etc/X11/xorg.conf to find 'Option XkbLayout" "fi" ' but when I access X through XDMCP the displaying PC has no knowledge about this.

Is there some way to make XDMCP read and export the server's (well it's technically the client since X has the reversed server-client model) xkb info?

I have users using Cygwin to log into X from their windows PC's.

The problem I'm having is that they get an english charset instead of swedish and I can't seem to find any entry to change that.

I've tried Xnest from my linux PC and I get the same error so it isn't Cygwins fault.

and how many named hosts were you running ? 1 you can make work .

I had two with SSL, although one wasn't used by anyone, and four non-SSL.

I'm afraid I'll have to reinstall the server to get it to work.

*bump*

Anyone with ideas?

Are you sure?

I've had this server up and running since end of March with name based SSL virtual hosts.

I tested this on another MDK-10.1 server:

NameVirtualHost *:443
<VirtualHost *:443>
ServerName www2.myserver.org
DocumentRoot /var/www/html/ssl
ServerAdmin root@myserver.org
ErrorLog logs/ssl_error_www2_log
<IfModule mod_log_config.c>
TransferLog logs/ssl_access_www2_log
</IfModule>
SSLEngine on
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL
SSLCertificateFile /etc/ssl/apache2/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/apache2/server.key
CustomLog logs/ssl_request_log \
         "%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"

RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions inherit
</VirtualHost>

This worked flawlessly.

I don't know why the apache docs claim "Name-based virtual hosting cannot be used with SSL secure servers". Further down they say "If you're planning to use multiple ports (e.g. running SSL) you should add a Port to the argument, such as *:80" indicating (to me) that SSL does work in name-based hosting.

The only thing I did recently is to install the latest security fixes from Mandriva but I can't see anything there that should affect apache/openssl.

I shut down apache (along with most other services) to run chkrootkit and avoid false positives

regarding hidden processes. When I restarted apache it wouldn't start, complaining about

[emerg] (13)Permission denied: couldn't grab the accept mutex

After a couple of restarts I saw it complaining about dead semaphores so I used ipcrm to remove

them, and I even rebooted eventually, but still the same errors. I found that if I start apache

without SSL it works.

I'm running MDK 10.1 with these:

apache-conf-2.0.50-4mdk

apache2-mod_php-2.0.50_4.3.8-2mdk

apache2-mod_perl-2.0.50_1.99_16-1mdk

apache2-manual-2.0.50-7.2.101mdk

apache2-mod_proxy-2.0.50-7.2.101mdk

apache2-modules-2.0.50-7.2.101mdk

apache2-mod_disk_cache-2.0.50-7.2.101mdk

apache2-mod_suexec-2.0.50-3mdk

apache2-mod_ssl-2.0.50-4.1.101mdk

apache2-2.0.50-7.2.101mdk

apache2-common-2.0.50-7.2.101mdk

apache2-mod_cache-2.0.50-7.2.101mdk

I have a couple of virtual hosts, some of them requiring SSL.

When i do a telnet on my server, I don't see any of these lines:

S: 250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 GSSAPI

S: 250-AUTH=PLAIN LOGIN DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 GSSAPI

You need to install the plugins :

urpmi libsasl2-plug-plain
urpmi libsasl2-plug-crammd5
urpmi libsasl2-plug-digestmd5
urpmi libsasl2-plug-gssapi

Note that I still haven't got it working though.

See if this helps :

Add the following to [global] section of smb.conf:

use sendfile = no

large readwrite = no

max xmit = 16644

Add a line "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 0" to /etc/sysctl.conf and run 'sysctl'

This stops forwarding between your NIC's.

well it was pretty cool that mandrake (10.0) still runs after upgrading cpu and motherboard, the only problem i have now is, that it wont start eth0 at boot time.

(boot message : bringing up eth0 ... [failed])

My guess is that your new MB has another NIC than the old.

When you've got ti working by "Add new connection..." do a 'lsmod' as root and see which

NIC module is loaded (let pretend it's via-rhine). Then 'echo via-rhine >> /etc/modprobe.preload'
