<0> same as before
<1> ntfs?
<1> fat 32?
<0> coz i cant remember my root pwd
<0> ext23
<0> ext3
<1> see i told you, reformating is the best way..heh!
<0> lolz
<2> LinuxNuBie: you need to install sudo so you can reset your admin p***word...thats what i did... I'm used to losing it on a hard crash under linux/bsd with ext2
<0> now my old box running in Debian :) and ofcourse the other laptop with Ubuntu
<0> OptimusPrime how to reset root pwd thru terminal if i cant be root?
<2> LinuxNuBie: with sudo
<0> ok lemme try
<2> LinuxNuBie: with old versions of freebsd, you would just simply run the install script... just don't install anything,a nd reset the p***word..takes about 10s
<1> check this out
<2> LinuxNuBie: i lost mine no too long ago, the first in ages, due to a power outage... I just: sudo su - root
<1> https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr
<1> sudo for $30 heh!
<2> LinuxNuBie: then ran 'p***wd' to reset the p***word
<0> ah ok... coz just learning Linux thats why i formatted :)
<3> when i use sudo, it asks me for the root p***word
<2> knoppix__: it should ask you for your user p***word... if you're logged in as 'lusr'... a low user/regular user
<3> oh
<4> bbl
<3> haha, well, i use the same p***word for both my user account and root
<3> so i guess it doesnt matter
<0> how about in Ubuntu.. why when i type "sudo -s" and type pwd it say pls retry?
<2> LinuxNuBie: did you set up your /etc/sudoers ?
<0> not yet
<2> LinuxNuBie: that would be a 'start' ;-)
<0> :) thanks!
<2> LinuxNuBie: only users specified in the sudoers config file can use sudo
<0> it gonna be editted only by visudo
<5> while installing debian (netinstall), i get a error when selecting "standard system", but the screen switches too fast so i can not read the error message, it just returns to the installation, is there any hotkeys to see the console?
<5> or is it a way to install the "standard system" (all packages included in that option) at a later time? without installing them all one by one :P
<6> anyone remember the name of that program to make your keyboard leds flash with your network traffic?
<7> lanled, networkled or something like that.
<7> recall it was highly annoying
<1> OptimusPrime: what does this mean in my /etc/sudoers/ =>names ALL=NOP***WD: ALL
<1> names has the same functions as root?
<8> hah someone donated to the project, woohoo !!
<7> Redragon^ i made the ultimate goof today
<8> you did rm -rf /usr ?
<7> i accidentlay added the server's ip address in my host.trashcan file and it took down the whole server untill the support group could wheel a cart to remove the fubar
<8> oh nicely done
<7> which made me think.
<7> on your sshmon script. what's stoping you from doing a cron job to purge the blocks every so often.
<8> nothing :)
<7> then doing a fancy grep weekly and flag the mulitple offenders for the perm ban list
<8> but the cron has to know when the block was set, or it could easily remove it immediately after its set
<7> ahh
<8> we dont want to clear them all every 5 min, we want to clear specified ones after they have exceeded the time period :)
<7> but if you have a regular firewall script and it flushes/restarts that would take care of it
<8> yea
<8> i have a perl based one that uses mysql to track and time but its been back burner for some time now
<7> while going over this today i read the most fubar article along these lines
<7> stuff a microsoft guy said about spyware and stuff. totaly blew me away when he said ya gotta format
<8> lol, microsoft solution to everything
<7> http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,190544,00.html no seriously this is way wacked
<8> ahh MS ever consider lost user data?
<7> guess not
<7> found this awsome program today. gfi languard service monitor
<7> ids thing for servers/workstations. also monitors linux boxes
<9> i installed knoppix directly to my hdd, does it have everything i need to create drivers or do i need to download headers?
<1> BlackNet: is that a windows apps?
<7> yea
<7> good thing is they have a freeware version which helps out alot
<7> http://www.gfi.com/news/en/nsm6freeware.htm 2nd paragraph
<10> anyone know of an irc channel to get help on vpopmail?
<11> Hello. I have a sh script that calls several perl scripts. It takes no arguments. when I run it from the command line everything is fine. If I run it from cron it appears to work, the generated e-mail is as expected, but it does not carry out the actions. it should update a mysql table and 3 text files. no mysql updates are done and all 3 text files are empty (when run from cron only). Any clues? I'm stumped and have no idea how to go about de
<12> What is the easiest what to search for three files and display the results in one command line?
<12> find . -iname filename
<12> three times.
<0> hi! why when i login as root the sounds works but when i login as a usr it didn't work
<5> while installing debian (netinstall), i get a error when selecting "standard system", but the screen switches too fast so i can not read the error message, it just returns to the installation, is there any hotkeys to see the console?
<5> or is it a way to install the "standard system" (all packages included in that option) at a later time? without installing them all one by one :P
<10> if i'm having an issue logging into squirrellmail and vpopadmin but no problems with imap or pop...could it be my apache config?
<8> nope
<13> hello all
<13> i want to know if one account/user is root without a root account for example dominicano is a user and i gived a root did there exist some command for go that user at a normal user without a root ? thank you.
<14> Hi, I'm installing mandriva linux 10 on my ibm r51e, i just booted up with the install cds and it's now saying it cant find the cdrom drive, and asking me which driver i should use to gain scsi access
<14> theres a list of generic sounding drivers, i did a search for linux scsi driver thinkpad etc but havent found anything specific
<0> how do u know if somebody hacking your box?
<1> y? you want to hack someone?
<15> u use 1337_h4x @ 9999999
<0> no
<0> just to know how... because i'm new to Linux :)
<1> the box is compromised if it is being hack
<1> eeer hacked
<0> :)
<0> so how
<8> LinuxNuBie you look for processes you dont recognize, high load, executables in /tmp, things like that
<0> i know it will log log but
<0> but not yet get into it
<1> worst scenario, hackers changed the root pw
<0> so the best resolution is format again :)
<8> they never do that anymore :)
<8> yup, if your compromised reinstall :)
<0> ja:/tmp# ls
<0> fileIeJeQz
<1> check your /var/log/wtmp, it might give you hints on users accessing your box
<0> only btmp there
<0> there
<0> sorry
<0> what the equivalent or other prog like MC
<1> MC?
<0> midnight commander
<1> aah, no idea
<0> how to show the /var/log/wtmp, by cat
<0> ei one more question
<0> when i restart my laptop sometimes wont detect the net... how can i reset my ip
<0> in windwos like /renew, /release
<0> without rebooting the machine
<15> will konqueror die if i open 450 jpg images in different tabs
<15> all @ same time?
<1> LinuxNuBie: restart your network services
<15> man it opens to infinite
<1> or ifdown eth0 and ifup eth0
<0> it will erset the ip
<0> reset*
<1> why set your nic dynamically when you can set it static
<15> it opens tabs @ 6.9 mb/s
<16> any wine gurus?
<1> they are sleeping
<16> ah

<0> yea here in ofc i'm only one trying to learn and use the Linux :)
<0> try the three
<0> if one of those easy to stick to it
