Re: [techtalk] Okay so I recompiled my kernel under RedHat 6.1
if you need scsi emulation this option should be set SCSI emulation support CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI This will provide SCSI host adapter emulation for IDE ATAPI devices, and will allow you to use a SCSI device driver instead of a native ATAPI driver. ... that was from the Configure.help in the kernel source documentation directory i'm guessing too that you'd need this option set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD If you want to use a SCSI hard disk or the SCSI or parallel port version of the IOMEGA ZIP drive under Linux, say Y and read the SCSI-HOWTO, the Disk-HOWTO and the Multi-Disk-HOWTO, available via FTP (user: anonymous) in ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO. This is NOT for SCSI CDROMs. and probably this too CONFIG_CHR_DEV_SG If you want to use SCSI scanners, synthesizers or CD-writers or just about anything having "SCSI" in its name other than hard disks, CDROMs or tapes, say Y here. These won't be supported by the kernel directly, so you need some additional software which knows how to talk to these devices using the SCSI protocol. ... all that stuff is in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help hope that is helpful On Tue, 26 Oct 1999, Norma wrote: > > I thought I did that.

Problem description: There are two problems in the lpr and lpd programs. By exploiting a race between the access check and the actual file opening, it is potentially possible to have lpr read a file as root that the user does not have access to. Also, the lpd program would blindly open queue files as root; by use of the '-s' flag to lpr, it was possible to have lpd print files that the user could not access. Thanks go to Tymm Twillman for pointing out these vulnerabilities. Also, various bugs in remote printing that were present in the lpd released with Red Hat Linux 6.1 have been fixed. (1999-10-19) Another problem with remote printing was fixed in lpr-0.44. If you are experiencing problems with remote printing in the previous errata update, it is recommended that you upgrade. There are no known security issues with the previous errata packages. If you are experiencing problems with local printing in Red Hat Linux 6.1, make sure that you have: alias parport_lowlevel parport_pc in your /etc/conf.modules file. (1999-10-25) The original security patch broke some aspects of printing. New errata RPMs are available which should fix the problem. 8. Solution: For each RPM for your particular architecture, run: rpm -Uvh where filename is the name of the RPM. 9.

[techtalk] fyi [oclug] Syslog resolution (fwd)
-- Forwarded message -- Hi, The new syslog package from Red Hat's update site fixes the problem. I think it uses datagram sockets instead of stream sockets. So Red Hat 6.1 users should go to: http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA1999055-01.html and get the new sysklogd RPM -- David F.

Re: [techtalk] cak-handed mice: resolved!
if you want to change the mouse button sequence in console also you can
give gpm the -B option :)
from man gpm :
-B sequence
Set the button sequence. `123' is the normal
sequence, `321' can be used by left-handed people,
and `132' can be useful with two-button mice (espe-
cially within Emacs). All the button permutations
are allowable.
