Question 1: So if I understand, Linuxconf seems to work fine but it kicks
errors? Well, welcome to X. Think of X as a late beta product (like, say,
Windows 98); it kicks a lot of messages on my console which I generally
ignore because everything works).
Question 2: Red Hat Linux has security mechanisms that prevent root from
telnetting (or, I think, ftp'ing) directly. This is VERY DISIREABLE
behavior. YOu can disable it but since I've never done it, I don't recall
how (it's been discussed here a lot if you can find archives). The standard
alternative is to telnet as yourself and type 'su' to become root. Even
better: install OpenSSH on the Linux machine and use either putty or
teraterm+the SSH extensions on the Windows end; root is allowed to connect
via SSH because it's so much more secure.

Subject: Question....
Good Evening,
Well first off I would like to thank everyone that helped me try to get my
network issue fixed. I have it running. So now I have
a box on the net for linux. It is a server, but the question that I have is
when I run linuxconf on the screen behind it I get some strange
information. What is tells me is this:
Error message from remadmin :Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 1584
(gtk_widget_map) : assertion 'GTK_WIDGET_VISIABLE (widget) == TRUE' Failed.
Error message from remadmin :Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkwidget.c: line 817
(gtk_widget_map) : assertion 'GTK_WIDGET_VISIABLE (widget) == NULL' Failed.
Why is this happening?? I was able to config my network access. So I am
soooo confused, well that does not take much...
The other question which is something that I should know, but for some
reason I am drawing a complete blank.. I can telnet to my box with a
program
that runs under Win 2K, it is called reflection 2. I get the log in prompt,
but if I type in
Login Root
Password xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
It tells me login incorrect. WHY?? I have root access on the box. I am
currently log in as root, or is that why? (On the box itself)
Thank you for your help.
Steven
