| 127113 | 2003-03-10 07:12:00 | How hard is it to run 2 screens? I've just been given a new screen, and seeing i now have 2 on the desk, i thought i might give 2 a go! Does anyone know of hand where the .conf files for pure-ftp live? After setting it up, i've lost them. What i must do to (if possible) make it so that someone logging in has access to /home/there-little-bit only and not any of the system files? At the moment a user acessing my machine can't get into other peoples /home/files but it can let a user into into anything other than home. Messing with the permissions in say "/user" tended to make things inoperable. .Clueless |

Not too bad if you've hacked at your XF86Config file before . All I did was follow the Xinerama howto . Free tip: If one of the cards is an S3 Trio use the vesa driver . The "s3" driver sucks . I gave up with it because I prefer the virtual desktops (moving . . . head . . . too . . . much . . . effort :-)) . |

| 127115 | 2003-03-10 21:02:00 | Clueless, You could try following this for restricting access - '-a <gid>': Authenticated users will be granted access to their home directory and nothing else (chroot) . This is especially useful for users without shell access, for instance, WWW-hosting services shared by several customers. Only member of group number <gid> will have unrestricted access to the whole filesystem. So add a "staff", "admin" or "ftpadmin" group and put your trusted users in. <gid> is a NUMERIC group number, not a group name. Note: 'root' always has full filesystem access. If you want to chroot() everyone, but root, use the following flag: - '-A': chroot() everyone, but root. Extracted from the pure-ftp documentation (pureftpd.sourceforge.net) :D As far as finding the .conf it would be best to do a search but it is most likely in etc |

| 127116 | 2003-03-10 23:22:00 | Multiple monitors with an nVidia card is dead easy, search google for: Download YANC Great proggy for doing TV-O too! As for your S3 cards . . . 2K/XP doesnt like them being secondary for some reason, so keep that in mind, there's something to do with the S3 cards . . . Dunno if its affected Linux users though :-) HTH Chilling_Silence |

Dunno if > its affected Linux users though :-) Same with win98 + S3 Trio . Its because the driver needs to be updated to handle multi-monitors . The linux driver for the Trio has major issues with xinerama because it sucks in general . I found even running it seperatly was buggy . BTW, if you don't want one big desktop, you can run two seperate X servers . |

| 127119 | 2003-03-11 02:55:00 | So if Im wanting to do this myself.. I should look up xinerama, and what's this about 2x XFree sessions??? | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 127120 | 2003-03-14 05:32:00 | Gorela, I'm totally out of my depth here . but hey, i learnt to swim by falling of a boat, why not learn Linux the same way??? I tried - '-A': chroot() everyone, but root . and here is the result sam:~ # - '-A': chroot() everyone, but root . bash: syntax error near unexpected token `chroot()' I'm quite happy if no-one can get ftp access to anything out side of the home directory, this is what i wish to acheive . my other line of attack was this, taken from the pure-ftp . conf file: # If you want to run Pure-FTPd with this configuration # instead of command-line options, please run the # following command : # # /usr/sbin/pure-config . pl /usr/etc/pure-ftpd . conf # Cage in every user in his home directory (default=yes, uncommented) ChrootEveryone yes # If the previous option is set to "no", members of the following group # won't be caged . Others will be . If you don't want chroot()ing anyone, # just comment out ChrootEveryone and TrustedGID . # TrustedGID 100 (default=yes, uncommented) was my little add-in for safety i ran /usr/sbin/pure-config . pl /usr/etc/pure-ftpd . conf and then realised i would have to run /usr/sbin/pure-config . pl /etc/pure-ftpd . conf instead as the . conf file was not where the command specified . Still no joy, i killed and restarted the server, and logged in from vanessa (my 'doze PC) and was prompty able to look through most of the system as before, although i have atleast managed to keep users out of each others /home directory by playing with the permissions . OK . . I'm lost . Clueless |

| 127121 | 2003-03-19 23:56:00 | Gorela, In responce to your question . >>OT PS When you installed Pureftp, what options did you use? Or did you just use . /configure with no options? I dont know, i have this bad habit of installing stuff at night when i should be resting, and not always remembering exactly how i did it . I am considering a careful reinstall complete with manual renaming of the original config files . . Clueless |
