root 14653 1 0 Dec09 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/sshd


That's the sshd process itself, running as root, not root being logged in to an SSH session (notice it's sshd, not ssh@)

man sshd

Yup, I know the difference, but the way you originally worded it made me unsure of whether or not you understood the differences yourself.

(Incidentally, I thought the answer you got from the VNC...

Didn't know about that, but then again, I haven't used iptables (or Linux, for that matter) in years. I'd say go for it and see what happens :)

What did you use to generate that?

As far as creating functions, I'd suggest consulting the manpage for iptables. I haven't used iptables in about 10 years, and my *BSD boxen use pf, so I can't...

After reading your posts in this forum and others, it's wonderful how you became an expert on this subject in so little time. It seems like just yesterday (maybe because it was?) you were a n00b...

If it doesn't listen on localhost, it won't work.

Secondly, use iptables to allow/deny connections on a different interface if you don't want to allow connections to a specific interface.

FYI,...

Can you paste some examples of this "bloating" and "code duplication"? If there's duplicate rules defined in different areas, it shouldn't be too difficult to spot them and help you get them cleaned...

It means the process itself is running as root, which is required for sshd to function properly.

I read the full thread completely, a few times, actually. It appears that you still don't fully understand PKI, since you keep mention "signing" when you mean "exchange."

The EXCHANGE occurs...

And by the way, as far as your comment about Gmail not caring, you should really learn how something works before you make snide comments to people who know more than you and are trying to help you. ...

Not true by any stretch.

Not to be rude (hey, I'm in a good mood this morning :) but I don't think you have a clue about how this works, based on your posts in the pfsense forum...

Usually the application creates the .pid (Process ID) file when it starts, and the location varies with the application. Sometimes you can tell the app where to put the .pid via the app's config...

What do you need to search *for*?

What does the Apache error log show?
Did you view the file on the server to make sure there's no "^M" characters at the end of each line?
Did you try one of my earlier suggestions to make sure the...

You'd want to use the 'alias' command with ifconfig, as described in the FreeBSD Handbook. You set this in /etc/rc.conf

Example:


alias_fxp0="inet 10.0.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0"

So what exactly is the problem? If you know all of this, which you claim, there isn't a problem. I've asked you repeatedly for information on your NIC, but rather than answer my questions, you just...

Here's a HOWTO I wrote for a DHCP server on FreeBSD. Read it and see how the server gets configured (this is only 1 way of many different ways to configure a DHCP server.)

...

I highly recommend bookmarking the Linux Documentation Project website for HOWTOs on networking, audio, drivers, etc. It will save you a lot of time and frustration if you learn how things work.

DHCP uses the MAC address for leases, NOT a domain. It can also be configured to use hostnames to assign the IP leases, such as MCHSI, but in situations like those, if the MAC address doesn't match...

1. What NIC do you have in the box?
2. If you run DHCP on a *real* DHCP server, you don't NEED a domain, since that's part of what gets provided by the DHCP server. If you don't know what to put...

Care to recant?

I was reffering to your other post about the networking issue that you responded to in this thread.

Nor did I ask you to. When I offered a solution, your comment was "I already know all...

The locate command doesn't rewrite anything - it just tells you where xxx is located.

Try doing updatedb, followed by locate xxx to see where it is (like, /usr/local/bin or /usr/sbin or whatever...

Boot to your Linux distro and run lilo. Lilo will rewrite the mbr to include the lilo boot menu screen that got overwritten when you reinstalled Windoze.

A DHCP client is installed by default - it's dhclient. If you mean it doesn't locate your DHCP server, have you configured your NetGear box to be a DHCP server?


What setup disk?...

It would help if you replied to the correct post, instead of cross-posting.

Since I don't know your level of experience with Linux, it's a little difficult for me to guess what you don't...

Run (as root) "netconfig" and set eth0 to use DHCP. I have no idea what you mean regarding using a setup disk for your NetGear device, but if it's a router, just use DHCP for Linux until you learn...

It doesn't automatically bring your network interface online? What's the error?

What window manager are you using? KDE? Gnome? Blackbox? WindowMaker?

All the networking stuff can be...

use the "top" command (no quotes) to view all running procs, uptime, used memory, etc.

Actually, there is an experimental NTFS module that allows writes that's been out for awhile. You have to do a recompile of the kernel, but it's been there since 2.4.something...

You can also try (as root):

A Google search for "linux quota commands" returned this:

If you watch the stdout when the system boots from the CD, it should show you the hardware it autodetects - see if you can spot your drive in there. If Slack does find it, make sure you remember...

Did you have free space along with the other 2 partitions, or did you wipe something first?

You should be able to boot the system with the Mepis CD and access the filesystem from the boot...

If you download the RescueCD, there's a Linux partition utility called QtParted that looks almost identical to Partition Magic, and works very well. There's also a bunch of other tools on the CD that...

Yes, just delete the unknown partition and create a new partition for Windows. You can do a quick format of the new partition from within Windows using NTFS.

Then again, there's always fips for the more tech-savvy.

You can use a Win98 boot floppy to wipe a linux-formatted drive to put Windows on - it'll say it doesn't have a recognizable filesystem...

What distro are you trying to install?

Is it asking you for the source location or the target location to install Linux to?
