Thank you. Try installing the kernel sources that you're currently running with, go into the kernel source directory (usually /usr/src/linux) then running: make distclean cloneconfig modules_prepare then try the cisco build again, making sure that the cisco make knows about the location of your kernel source tree that you setup above.

vpn client

by Jill Benware

Alright, on my quest to retrieve files I left on a server back in Baltimore I have decided to download VPN client for Linux and try that. I have not succeeded. When installing I get "failed to make module cisco_ipsec.ko"...I haven't had loads of time to play but if anyone knows how I can get connected please let me know. Thank you. Jill

Thanks. `man smbmount` is pretty helpful here's some typical mounts i use: mount -t smbfs //matt/c$ /mnt/smb -o username=Administrator mount -t smbfs //slug/space /mnt/space in your case you want: mount -t smbfs //IP/SHARE /mnt/localmount -o username=USERNAME then when you hit enter it'll prompt you for PASSWORD -mike

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew how to connect to a windows share. I know the server, ip, share, workgroup, and I have a username/password. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks. Jill

RE: [Wlug] Message for Chuck

Thank you everyone for your replies. However, this boots to Aurora, so boot -s didn't work....which did get me to thinking... in order to boot, i needed to know the image name to use, but didn't, in order to boot to it in -s (single user mode). So, I guessed. linux -s The lesson here is always use a boot loader password to prevent such things (like someone breaking into your system) from happening. thanks mike --- "Minkov, Ross" <Ross.Minkov(a)hp.com> wrote: > > To boot to single user mode type "boot -s" at the ok > prompt: > > ok> boot -s > > > Regards, > Ross > > > -----Original Message----- > From: wlug-bounces(a)mail.wlug.org > [mailto:wlug-bounces@mail.wlug.org] On > Behalf Of Theo Van Dinter > Sent: Friday, July 22, 2005 10:21 PM > To: Worcester Linux Users Group > Subject: Re: [Wlug] Message for Chuck > > On Fri, Jul 22, 2005 at 07:04:29PM -0700, Mike Leo > wrote: > > This is my first venture into Sun, but this is > running > > Aurora right now anyway. > > Oh.

"sync" is a command that suggests to the OS that it ought to flush its disk buffers out to the actual disk. A habit I picked up a while ago was to do two or three of them in a row before doing something to the system, such as rebooting, doing the ol' Stop-A/disconnect disk/go trick on the Sparc, etc. It's not normally needed, but just something I do for good measure in certain cirumstances. ;) -- Randomly Generated Tagline: Zapp: The spirit is willing but the flesh is spongey and bruised.
