SuSE wms

Hey all, Okay, I am stuck in this uni machine. It uses gdm to login, and presents only KDE as the possible environment. But hark! /usr/X11R6/bin/wmaker is present! I tried killall -9 kwm && wmaker (as per a suggestion) but it simply logged me out. Anyone got any bright ideas? (I have a related question for those who answer correctly.) James.

Redhat user login prob!
by Simon Jude 21 Feb '00

21 Feb '00

Hi, I have a slight problem in that when a user tries to login to my redhat 6.1 system they get kicked straight back to the login screen. Only the root user can login! How can I fix this?

Apache: Is this a bad trick?
by MJ Ray 21 Feb '00

21 Feb '00

Any apache gurus on the list, I've been doing some site development, and rather than have to tweak all the addresses, I added 127.0.0.2 sitename to the /etc/hosts file and defined 127.0.0.2 as a virtual host. I don't know why, but I feel that's a bad thing to do: is it?

Staroffice CD

Hiya! I can recommend Star Office. Sun sent me a CD last year - the installation ran perfectly. You could certainly put it on any 'users' desktop running on SuSE and fool them into thinking it was something from the Redmond (un)stable.

Hi guys, Anyone know how, via .htaccess in htdocs/, to make *all* web requests return a specified document instead? I'm thinking of the occassions when I take a website (LNC) down to play with it and I want everyone to see a message in a file elsewhere, like htdocs/placeholder.html instead.

Stupid X question
by Simon Jude 17 Feb '00

Hi, How do I configure X so that I can run software on a remote machine (eg cpca7) and view it on my linux machine? I realise that this is probably easy to fix, but I can't remember how to do it!
