    Auto-logoff software

    There is a way to disable the account over a certain period of time. Wouldn't this prevent the client from logging back in?

    Novell clien login: Where in windows 98 is it called?

    Here is the situation. Deepfreeze was running on the workstations which reverts any changes made when the workstation restarts. So, the def files would be reverted back to the old defs from when deepfreeze was installed. Deepfreeze has a thaw mode for maintainence. We could set the thaw mode...

    Auto-logoff software

    There are a ton of free-ware products that will shutdown windows, but maybe this is too drastic for what you want to do. For example, here is a link: http://sleepy.sashazur.com/ I found this on a google search: http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/zenworks/downloadables.html Check out more...

    Novell clien login: Where in windows 98 is it called?

    I want to slip a script in before the client login comes up in windows 98. The runservices and runservicesonce all work sychronisly, with now pause right through the login. The script never completes before the login screen pops up. Basically, I want to auto-login to novell durning the hours...

    Catalyst 4006: 1/3 of ports not working unless ...

    The only change to the network was the replacement of Mac 5200 series computers with Dell 110 Optiplex's. It looks like there are issues with the pipe between S2 and S3. I'll look into the link you supplied.

    Now-Well for Linux

    I have never seen a gui novell login for linux. You have to use ncpmount and ncpumount to mount and unmount file. Read the ncpmount man page, it is not that hard to do.

    Disk share

    I believe NT can read Fat32 with service pack 4 or 5 (or is it 6), but one of them will do that. Linux can read ntfs and even write to ntfs (although I still this this is in experimental stage, the writing too, so be careful). This would require a kernel recompile, though. What about fat16?

    linux differences

    From what I understand, there are two basic flavors of Linux: Sysv (System 5) and BSD style. SysV distros include RedHat, Mandrake, SuSE, and I believe Debian. A good example of a BSD Linux is Slackware. Basically, the main difference is where the startup and configuration scripts get...

    Nor FTP neither TELNET on my server

    I suggest leaving them disabled if this server is dangling out to the public. Use openssh instead, it is far more secure.

    Need help setting up a DNS Server using bind 9.1.3

    You should remove the old rpm before installing the new one. rpm -e . Of course, this will probably produce some complaints, so do your research first. There is the upgrade option: rpm -uvh which will upgrade your current rpm. As you have seen, you will need to fulfill each dependency...

    You need to know the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of the monitor. Once you have these, you can edit /etc/X11/XF86Config and change these setting in that file. You must do this as root. Becareful that you have these values correct as you could damage the monitor. Especially an older...

    Locked CDROM and FLoppy

    I have heard of this on other forums. Check the settings in /etc/fstab and make sure these devices are not automounting. Try disabling samba then reboot and see if your devices are unlocked. In the other forums, no one posted a resolution to this problem, but it was temporary resolved by a...

    setting up and deleting a new user acount in mandrake 7.2, and 8.0

    There is the rpm howto: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/RPM-HOWTO/index.html which is also on your distro, probably in /usr/docs. Man pages are always helpful, so are the info pages: man tar info tar With tarred and gzipped (tar.gz or .tgz) there is usually a README file that tells you how to...

    What flavor of Linux should I use....

    Whatever distribution you choose; to get X working properly, you must know your video chipset and model number, the amount of video ram, the horizontal and vertical refresh rates of your lcd panel. Then, use xf86config to set all this up. It's text based and not flashy, but I feel it offers...
