Is there someone can help on what ports I should open on my firewall to
enable outgoing to mail clients on my home net?
Although I better would like to enable it using squid proxy if it is
probable.
Thanks, Cs. Peter

which board/chipset exactly? And what is not supported, even if
you don't use it?
Also thanks for all your other useful advice,

]OT] http-authorization:
by Don Russell
Please forgive the OT nature of this, but I've spent a lot of time
googling etc and have found nothing. Perhaps someone here knows the
answer, or can point me in the right direction.
I have a web appl that uses status code 401 (authorization required) to
challenge the user for an id/password. The client then responds with the
http-authorization header etc. All is well.
But, I want to make a more 'friendly' log on page:
So, my server sends a page with status 200 (OK) with a simple form with
two fields: userid/password. (The rest of the page content is the
friendly fluff, not relevant to my problem)
In that case, when the user presses the submit button, the client
doesn't build the http-authorization: header (because it doesn't know it
should)
Is there a way (using javascript?) to tell a web browser (client) to
build a specific header? This needs to work with MS IE6, and I'd LIKE
it to work with FireFox...
I need to have the client send the http-authorization: Basic
B64-encoded-uid:pwd header.
I can do the encoding "manually" in a script if there are no "built-in"
encoding methods... but how do I actually get the client to include a
specific request-header?
Thank you,
Don

Thanks James, I'm looking at the specs right now.
The only things missing are a DVI output (that is, need to
buy extra graphic card which would create more cooling problems)
and I have to figure out if SATA II is supported and how under
Linux for this board (feedback appreciated!), but seems promising.

FC4 booting problem?
by under.actuate@gmail.com
Hello,
I'm wondering if anyone could help me with an issue. Here's some detail.
2 hard drives:
- The first is dedicated to Windows XP.
- The second is partitioned so that Fedora Core 4 is at the front and extra
space is given for Windows at the back.
While I installed FC4, I made sure to set FC4 as the default boot. So I
expected it to boot after the system was rebooted. But, Windows
automatically boots. Do you have any ideas what the problem could be? Why
would Windows automatically boot? And how do I access the GRUB GUI to
choose between FC4 and Windows?
I would really appreciate some help.
Thank you,
Jared

Yes, but...
[root@bend ~]# filefrag /bin/* | sort -k2 -nr | grep 'would be'
/bin/netstat: 2 extents found, perfection would be 1 extent
/bin/login: 2 extents found, perfection would be 1 extent
Files that are frequently updated will often have some level of
fragmentation. Files that are relatively unchanged tend to be in a
single extent. Also, the stuff in /bin will generally be small, tight,
command line programs. A quick perusal of those listed in your example
shows a number of graphical interface programs that are anything but
small and don't even get me started about the size of emacs (the
probability of change to a program is very directly related to the size
of the program).

Access Old Home Directory
by Robert L Cochran
Hi,
I recently upgraded my desktop system with a much larger hard drive. The
old hard drive is now in an external hard drive enclosure (the kind
made by Metal Gear Box) and is plugged in to a USB port. The old drive
has these partitions
Microsoft Windows XP -- 30 Gb
Fedora Core 4 -- 30 Gb
My problem is, I can see the /boot partition on the drive, but I cannot
see the / (root) partition, and I'm want to get at my former home
directory because I have some files there I forgot to back up. I'm
wondering if that partition was named something like:
'/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00' and mounted on /.
Thanks for any help!
