by Fyodor Jr
Hi Guys;
I just already installed FC 4. But my box look like slow. After i am checking from my shell a got like this below :
[junior@blackbox ]$ free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 742684 537136 205548 0 27228 87496
-/+ buffers/cache: 422412 320272

[junior@blackbox ]$
[junior@blackbox ]$ cat /etc/fstab

Used portnumbers
by Erik Grootjans
Hoi,
I have installed vnc4.1 on a pc with windows.
If i build up a connection from a fedora6 machine to the win98 pc - with
the firewall on - it works
If i build up a connection from win98 to the fedora6 pc - with the fire
wall on - i get NO connection
When i build up a VNC connection from a FC6 to a FC6 pc - with the fire
wall on - i get no connection
When i build up a vnc connection with the firewall off on the server
(The screen i get) - it works
So i think i have to allow some ports in the Linux firewall
Which ports and what is the syntax to add them.
What are the default ports used by Rsync for building up a connection to
a internet rsync-server?
Thx
Erik

The Case of the Missing Characters

In the last 2-3 weeks, I have had the following happen on at least 2 occasions.

yum db error - what to do?

trying to do yuom install scribus I get this:

I get very similar messages doing just yum with no arguments.

How to exclude a dir. with tar
by Guillaume
Hi list...
I try to make a script to save my computer. I would like tu use tar to
create a file and then compress it.
I have a directory to save located in a home dir, but inside it a temp dir I
dont want to save. I try the --exclude option of tar to discard this one,
but it don't seem to work.
Someone can help me?
Can i use in the same way the ' -X option to exlude more than 1 dir?
tar --acls --append --exclude /home/web/current/temp -vf
/data/save/save.tar /home/web/current/ >> /data/save/sauve.log
Thanks for your help.
