I took a non-supported printer and hooked it up to a
Netgear PS121 print server I picked up on ebay. The PS121
is a little box with a USB plug on one side and an RJ45
on the other. In system-config-printer it looks like a
networked Unix LPD printer. I had to load a special LPD
driver to use it on a windows box, but it worked correctly
with my FC4 box once I figure out that the queue name was P1.
I like this solution as the printer is network available without
having to make sure that the correct machine is powered up.

Faint hope : new printer drivers in FC5?
by Beartooth
Fool that I was, I bought a printer on someone's recommendation, without
thinking to check whether it worked with linux. It's a Lexmark X1185 --
which didn't then, and still doesn't afaict: linuxprinting finds no driver
for it.
So will there be any new printer drivers in FC5 that are not yet generally
available on linuxprinting? If so, is there a list I can check mine
against?
Fwiw, I've been running an XP machine, just for topo maps and GPS stuff;
but it's beginning to look like CrossoverOffice 5.0 (CXO) will be able to
handle at least the most important (to me) of the proprietary suites of
GPS/topo software that I have, Maptech and Garmin. But, I'm told on the
CXO list, neither wine nor CXO can handle any printer that linux can't
already run.
So, if I take to running a clean OS on what is now the XP machine, will
that mean I have one more bulky paperweight sitting around? Or is there
hope with FC5 once I update to that?

[OT]: Apache config
by Dan Track
Hi
I've run out of ideas on how to get this done, so I'm hoping that
someone can help.
I have url: stats.foo.com
inside I have anumber of locations:
location1
location2
etc..
What I'd like to do is allow person1 to access everything but only
allow person2 to access location1. The site currently is protected
with htaccess, but I'm struggling to creat a rule or location or
directory tag to allow this to happen.
Can anyone help me with this.
Many thanks in advance.

Mounting pen-drives
by Anne Wilson
Three systems using FC4, all kept up to date. Initially, all three
auto-mounted pen-drives, with a pop-up asking whether to open a file manager
window. Now this only happens in one of them. The drives have to be
manually mounted in the other two.
Clearly something has been changed in two of them, but I don't recall doing
anything that would affect this. Can ayone tell me what it is that sets this
behaviour, and where it can be changed?
Thanks

The GUI command system-config-network allows you to set
the hostname and it changes the correct files.

I would actually have an application for one of these. The actual board
is sold separately and the company does not offer the power supply on their
web pages. They might sell a bunch of them if they offered the board, case,
and power supply as a unit or at least allowed you to buy all three at the
same time.

Sorry for top posting but I'm stuck with Lotus Notes at work...anyway,
Do you have SELinux enabled? Depending on the context settings you have
set in SELinux can really lock down a service. Try disabling it if you
have it enabled.

I haven't used proftpd for a while. Does it have any security
options (like not running as root or living in a chroot jail)
that would keep it from reading your shadow password file?
And out of curiosity, why are you using it instead of vsftpd?

ProFTP login horror
by korgull
Hi,
I've set up the server and it is running, but when I try to login I get "530
Login incorrect".
It's like it doesn't know the password of the user that tries to login, but
authentication is done by PAM and it's a normal user that is known on the
system who's trying to login.
I expect proFTP to use the same username/password in this case, or is my
expectation wrong ?
Any hints to what I might have done wrong/forgotten in my setup ?
Regards,
Marcel
