ICS (internet connection sharing) for ubuntu

Code_alchemist — Fri, 09 May 2008 14:28:30 -0700

Is it possible to use windows ICS on a internet enabled windows computer to works as a medium between the router and the linux PC to allow my linux computer internet access?

Heres how i want it but it wont happen:

~ Wireless Connection
= Wired Connection

Router ~ Linux PC

Heres how i might over come this issue:

Router ~ Windows PC = Linux PC

Think it will work?]]>

Wierd Wireless Issue on Ubuntu

Code_alchemist — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:40:14 -0700

I have a TL-W321G USB wireless adaptor.

Ubuntu recognises it, and uses it and even says its connected to the router...

But herein lies the problem:

When i load up firefox, NOTHING loads up on the internet, when i try to access the router via the default gateway, nothing shows up. No internet-enabled programs connect either.

What could be causing this?

yum check-update as normal user misses lots of updates

humbletech99 — Thu, 08 May 2008 09:44:31 -0700

CODE:

yum check-update

when run as a normal user misses lots of updates even though there is no error, it just silently returns either no or few updates.

It seems that when run as a normal user it does detect updates available from the atrpms repository but not from the official RHEL repository for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Id like to know if there is a way of making yum check-update run as a normal user without missing anything and without using sudo to make it run as root?]]>

Ubuntu Live CD

swanniebroo — Wed, 07 May 2008 00:32:24 -0700

Im downloading the Ubuntu .iso ATM.
Should be done in about 300 years.
SOO when it is, I will be happy.
Couple of questions.
Is there a browser included with Ubuntu.
Will the live CD still work if I burn it to a DVD.
And lastly, can I download and save files onto my hardrivve with the Live CD.
This would be cool, because I want to test out aircrack.
You guys rock.
And soon,
Im going to have a lot bigger, more complex problem for you all.
It involves triple booting, XP, Linux and *cough*Mac OS X *cough* *wink wink*.
But there is a catch
XP on one hard-drive, and Linux and that other one that we cant talk about on another.
But that one is for when I get my hard drive. =]=]=]

Peace,

SSH tunnel server, no shell but still able to change pw?

humbletech99 — Fri, 02 May 2008 03:16:08 -0700

I dont want to give the users shells at all but I still want them to be able to change their own passwords.

At the moment, they just execute /bin/cat so their session stays open but they cannot get any shell or input any commands.

I am thinking about perhaps making chroots for them instead in which case they can have a shell that has basically no view or access to anything, but I still want them to be able to change their passwords, however if they are in a jail then they cannot get access to the /etc/ files to change their pw.

Any ideas?]]>
