you still need a passphrase to unlock the key. (99% of the time). So even if somebody steals your private key file they still need your passphrase to use it. It is possible to set one up with a null passphrase, but, not surprisingly, that is not recommended. If someone has stolen your private key

I am not sure about recent ntpd versions, but they were originally only designed for permanent connections. I use chronyd, which was designed to keep track when machines are offline. www.chrony.org One problem with RH7.3 is that one needs to remove the command 'hwclock --systohc' from /etc/rc.d/i

I am not sure about 7.1, but presumably you can/should upgrade to the latest 7.3 kernel anyway. I changed from 6.2 to 7.3 recently. I masq MS PPTP from a win98 machine to a win2k server. My recollection is that it stops working under ipchains, so I took the opportunity (was forced) to convert to i

So, something is trying to access a cdrom via /dev/cdrom, which is pointing to the wrong device. Do you have a real cdrom? If so link /dev/cdrom to that. What is trying to access cdrom? could be an audio player, or cdrom automounter, or something else.. If it has only started recently then the ob

OK, it is now working. But I don't know why. I rebooted the 6.2 system (kept on separate partitions) and verified everything worked, and when I rebooted 7.3 it started working. LPRng DOES support usb. The mysterious "ignoring set_interface..." message has gone. I can only assume it was due to r

I don't think you want a bridge, you want IPTables with NAT, or ipchains with masquerading. By my reading, if the adsl modem expects to speak to more than one computer at a time then it will be a router and have multiple ethernet outlets. It is unlikely that the interface at the other end of your
