I was just at a talk by Richard Stallman (president of the FSF) and I am now of the opinion we should all use Debian.

SSH in User Directory
by Green, James M K 16 Oct '99

16 Oct '99

Hi guys, I'm having trouble installing SSH into my university Home Directory (~). I've got the ssh-1.27 sources, and configured with ./configure --prefix=~/downloads/ssh --with-etcdir=~/downloads/ssh/etc It builds fine, but errors on make install. Originally it failed because --with-etcdir specified hasd no effect in the Makefile, so I manually edited it so that all paths were ~/downloads/ssh and then re-ran it, but once again I get an error, this time: [ ... ] chmod 755 ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1 chmod: ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) chmod 755 ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh chmod: ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) mv ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1 ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1.old mv: ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) /usr/bin/install -c -o root -m 04711 ssh ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1 /usr/bin/install: ~/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: No such file or directory make: *** [install] Error 1 Of course the file doesn't exist. I just tried also configuring with disable-setuid or whatever it's called and this happens: rm -f /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1.old chmod 755 /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1 chmod: /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) chmod 755 /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh chmod: /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) mv /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1 /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downlo ads/ssh/bin/ssh1.old mv: /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: No such file or directory make: [install] Error 1 (ignored) /usr/bin/install -c -o root -m 0711 ssh /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bi n/ssh1 /usr/bin/install: /ufs/csugc/users/jmkgre/downloads/ssh/bin/ssh1: Operation not permitted make: *** [install] Error 1 It clearly like to be root and nothing else. Can anyone offer any ideas? My house telco line isn't installed until Tuesday week and I have a server in the US needing some attention that requires ssh to login.

Dial-in and X
by Laurie Brown 11 Oct '99

11 Oct '99

Ok folks, quick question. I succeeded in making a linux box a dial-in system, and it authenticates and all that a treat. However, I want to telnet in over the dialled-in connection, and can't, and I want to use X (X-Win32) and can't. I'm sure I'm forgetting something simple, but can't think what. Clues gratefully received! Cheers, Laurie.

[Newbie question - what video card to buy?
by John Heaser 09 Oct '99

09 Oct '99

I am hoping to get to grips with Linux by using an Evesham Pentium Pro 200 PC. I have pinched the Video card to drive a second monitor on my W98 PC so have to buy a new card. Mainly for business applications but I might play the occasional game. Any suggestions for a Linux supported card please? Also any suggestions for a basic sound card and 10BaseT network card. I have Red Hat 5.2. -- Thanks John Heaser [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]
