JavaScript Help
by Wesley Allen 16 Jun '02

OK, here is my hack of a function (I'll make it better later). Right now, it works in mozilla and Konqueror; but not IE. Anyone out there know Javascript well enough to tell me how to make this cross-browser? function changeMap(map) { if (map == 1) { document.bingo.setAttribute("usemap","#map1"); } else if(map == 2){ document.bingo.setAttribute("usemap","#map2"); } } Thanks, Wes

RedFlag Linux
by Andy Stewart 16 Jun '02

16 Jun '02

HI gang, I downloaded a copy of RedFlag Linux last night (straight from China) for a friend. I tried to run it on VMware, but it immediately wants to enable the frame buffer device and VMware doesn't seem to support that. On another old machine, it can't handle my ancient PAS16 SCSI controller as part of the installation process. I ran it part way on my laptop to get to the installation screen, so I know the CD works. (I have a low quality screenshot if anybody is interested). I'd be interested to see it running, even though I can't read Chinese. If anybody wants a copy, let me know and I'll make you one. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: GNHLUG Quarterly Meeting Rescheduled to 10 July 2002 Date: Fri, 14 Jun 2002 15:32:55 -0400 From: pll(a)lanminds.com To: gnhlug-announce(a)zk3.dec.com Hi all, Ximian has requested a rescheduling of our 26 June meeting to 10 July because Nat is unable to make the original date due to travelling conflict. Everyone who contacted me believed rescheduling the date was preferable to continuing without Nat and the Mono talk. For all those already registered, there is no need to re-register. If you will be unable to make the new 10 July date and have registered, please contact me privately at: pll+gnhlug at NoSpam lanminds dot com and I will remove you from the rsvp list. If you have not yet registered, and wish to do so, the registration form can be found here: http://md.appropriatesolutions.com/gnhlug/register.html I apologize for the inconvenience, and thanks for your co-operation. -- Seeya, Paul Paul Lussier Senior Systems and Network Engineer Co-Chairman, Greater New Hampshire Linux User's Group (GNHLUG) Chairman, Nashua Chapter GNHLUG http://www.gnhlug.org Events: http://md.appropriatesolutions.com/gnhlug/lug_cal/month.php ------------------------------------------------------- -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

RE: [Wlug] Xmon / Serial cable
by Evans, Robert 15 Jun '02

To answer question 2... A search for "null modem cable" on google will give you lots of good hits. For local kernel debug, you might just need to connect: Athlon Mac ground to ground txd to rxd rxd to txd If that is not enough, handshaking might require additional connections. There are variations, but I have had success, in other applications, with this handshaking setup: dtr to cd & dsr cd & dsr to dtr rts to cts cts to rts On a 9-pin connector: 1 = cd 2 = rxd 3 = txd 4 = dtr 5 = ground 6 = dsr 7 = rts 8 = cts 9 = ri You can probably buy a null modem cable at radio shack. It might also be sold as a lap-link serial cable. Be sure that the sex (protruding pins vs. recepticle) of the connector on the cable matches that on the computer you will connect to. Robert N.

I have a couple of silly questions, though. 1) Can I debug a Mac from an x86 box using Xmon? 2) I need a null modem cable to connect my Athlon and my Mac. Any thoughts as to where I could buy such a beast, or how to wire one up from parts obtained from Radio Shack?

Your other solution might be to bribe a member of wlug to make a copy of their 7.3 disks in exchange for a free beer after the meeting tonight. unfortunately, 1. I don't drink beer and 2. I won't be able to attend, otherwise I'd make a copy for you...

What I am trying to setup is this: sales(a)host1.com forwards to user1's inbox sales(a)host2.com forwards to user2's inbox Is this possible with sendmail? I've trid doing it in the /etc/aliases file and had no luck. when I run the newaliases command it gives me a warning and it doesn't work corectly when I tested it. I would prefer not to have to install qmail or some other mail server. -- ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Karl Hiramoto <karl(a)hiramoto.org> Work: 978-425-2090 ext 25 Cell: 508-517-4819 Personal web page: http://karl.hiramoto.org/ Zoop Productions: http://www.zoop.org/ KTEQ Rapid City: http://www.kteq.org/ AOL IM ID = KarlH420 Yahoo_IM = karl_hiramoto ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Q: What's the difference between a dead dog in the road and a dead lawyer in the road?

Permission Problems Accessing Server-based NFS Share
by James E. Rame 13 Jun '02

13 Jun '02

Help! I want to set up my home network so that I can access my files stored on the server (Mandrake 8.0) from my client machine (RedHat 7.3) using NFS. I configured /etc/export on the server side and made certain that both nfs-utils and portmap were running on the server. I proceeded to mount the exported directory at a mount point I set up on the client machine without a problem. But, when I tried to access an exported NFS share on my server machine from my client machine, I got a "permission denied" error message. On accessing the client-side mount point, I see the subdirectories but they are noted to be locked. I was eventually able to get access to the directory but only by going into the server and enabling read, write and execute privileges for "others." Might someone out there have another solution? Is there something else I can do to solve this problem without having to leave read, write and execute privileges on the directory to such a broad class of users? Jim

On the server, what are the user:groups assigned? Do you have the same user/group created on each server/workstation with the same UID and GID? Just a couple of things to think about.
