Depends whether you have a lot of lost paswords to manage or not.What I do for my Unix users is :I manually put a password for the user, for instance "hey_noob".I mail that password to the user, the user is then able to connect and choose a new password.It's simple, efficient, secure if you trust mail, and rather usable if you have few users. Moreover, i would say that it's the most secure way, because you personally know who forgot his password, how often this occurs, if you need to remove this account because probably frequently hacked, etc...

I would rather say that "default 0" means "default boot is the boot number zero".Unfortunately you want the system to boot on partition 1, which is The "default 0" thing is rather well explained in http://www.freeos.com/articles/3482/ I would try simply changing to "default 1", but i'm not sure this will not break everything and make you need to re-install Linux.

I also would like to know. that's why I don't use Grub, I use Lilo.Probably useless for you, but maybe it works rather the same way with Grub.With Lilo :edit /etc/lilo.confThen, change the default.then issue /etc/lilo.I used this, and now my system boots under Windows so unexperienced people know how to use it, and experienced people use the arrows to choose "Linux".

You should better tell us the available modes on his device.I definitively say don't use raid0, because this means "no security, striping only".Raid1, raid 10, raid1+0 are not the best ones for personal or small buiseness use, because security costs 50% of the total disk space (this means that the 6-disk raid group available capacity will be the capacity of three single disks).If your disks have RAID5 mode, I suggest it's the best mode. A RAID5 group of 6 disk will will have the capacity of 5 real disks, and it will be reasonably secured because it will survive to the lost of one single disk, and will continue working (without any further security) until the faulty disk is repaired.So, first of all tell us which RAID types your device can use, mainly tell us if it can use RAID5 or RADI6.RegardsYordan

We have no indi people around here.But I have some greek collegues.The often use the word "malaka".Obviously, only greek people are able to understand this word.Unfortunately, sometimes we have greek customers. So we have benn warned (not in a written form, cause we are not Crosoft), we have been verbally asked not to welcome a customer with the word "malaka".

Yes, but, in fact you are a lucky man because this day job gives you a salary. People having no day job have plenty of time but they can't enjoy their lot of free time because they have no salary.

I was really impressed, very nice work.

First of all, doing a backup is a daily mandatory operation, you always need to own a full usable backup of all your important files, and your mail files are important things.Secondly, I never did a mistake, but it's time for a first error, so, everytime I touch a system I do a data backup, "just in case". So, my advice is : do the test once, and before the test simply put the important files (mails, reports, spreadsheets) on a fileserver somewhere. If everything works fine, you may safely erase the backup, if you experience a problem you re-install and you can download the backups. Now, you must know where the mails are. I put my own mails on the F: disk, which is not the standard place. However, when I re-install, I simply have to change the mail destination to my F: disk and everything is fine. This is not an outlook feature, it's the same if you use thunderbird or netscape. So, if the mails are in the default place, re-installing will probably change nothing, but it's safer to have a backup of the mail directory, just in case. If the mails are not in the default location, after re-installing, you will have to change the local mail storage settings. Regards Yordan

And what is the syntax for putting a background image property in a css sheet ?

OK, would rather look like this : http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ As you guessed, it's a paying test, they ask at least ÂŁ200, which is quite a big investment. If they find security holes, this is worth the money. If they find nothing, could mean they are beginners.

Maybe it should be more efficient to ask this type of question at the Xisto forum ?

Hi, Sandeep. Welcome aboard, hope you will enjour your stay amongs us, at least as much as wee are happy being here. I hope you wante do say "the ideology" ? Of course, some of us are really idiots, but I hope this was not what you wanted to say ?

What about this : http://www.auditmypc.com/ at least it's a starting point, I was surprised by some results they found on a computer I thought decently secure.

Seems that they have a drastic computer policy. By the way, do they have a procedure to re-install outlook in case of failure ? If not, here is a step-by-step for removing and re-installing manually outlook :

No, don't post the entire page here, it would make the post hardly readable. The part is posted is enough, if a guy seeing what to do comes here, he will ask you to PM him the program.And, no, I'm not this guy, I'm not skilled enough so I will not be able to help you more.

Another way of calculating this is seeing how much money you need per month, and how many sites you can build every month, and this will give you the average money you should ask for a site.$150-$200 is a good amount. However, if you can build five such sites every month it's a decent salary. if you need two monthes for doing a site, maybe the price is too low.

OK, this works fine in the html page. Is it possible to put it in the css file ? is there a syntax for inserting an image in a css file ?

Not really for that reason, but it's partly true.The mounting trick allows you, in case you have dual-boot and boot sometimes on Linux and sometimes on Microsoft Windows, to see the Windows files when you are booted on Linux. For instance, suppose you were working with Microsoft Word when you were booted on Windows, you save your document as d:\mytodaylife.doc, and send it to your friend over gmail. Now, you boot under Linux, you read your mails using the Linux version of Firefox, and your friend tells you he lost the file. Then, go to /windows/D and you see the file again (althout you are using Linux and it's a Crosoft Windows file) and you can send the file again without needing to reboot under Windows. This is the sharing mode between Windows and Linux, on the same computer, alternatively booting to Linux or to Windows. Now, there is another way of collaboration, collaboration with your Laptop. When both systems are booted under Crosoft Windows, the Windows network is in charge of files sharing. When the laptop is on Windows and the main PC is under Linux, SAMBA is in charge or sharing files. So, you have to learn how to configure samba, you simply have to share a Linux folder with Samba and your windows Laptop will be able to mount it.

OK, that's exactly what I want to you do. And I also wanted these "set mount points" to be done. This is quite correct. Now, you will have a fully correct installation This is the way you will perform communications between the Unix world and the Microsoft Windows world. when you go to /windows/C under Linux, you will be on your Windows C: disk when you go to /windows/D you will read the files on your Windows D: disk. When you boot under Windows and write a text file in your E: disk, you will be able to read it in the Linux directory named /windows/E. Regards Yordan

OK, let's do it another way. Look : Is it more readable now ?

Here it is. I hope the arrow I have drawn is not too small, the circle shows where the "recent visitor map" is on the leftside menu. Clicking on the image will enlarge it for more readability.

No, I would simply use Windows disk manager or Parition magic in order to simply remove the D: partition, leaving free unpartitionned space on the disk, and then boot on the suze install disk and let the install program partition the free space on the disk.

I'm afraid you did it the wrong way, at least the most difficult way.Your hard disk was fully partitionned before you started installing Linux, which is bad for a beginner.You started with C: 40 - Windows , D: 20 - BLANK , E: 20 - BLANK , F: 20 - BLANK.I guess "BLANK" means a Windows partition with no data.If you have to restart it on another computer or if you fully erase this one before re-installing windows, start almust the same way, but withC: 40 - Windows , D: 20 - BLANK , E: 20 - BLANK , and no F: disk, but 20 Gig unporationned space on your hard disk.Then, the SUZE installer will create some partitions in the remaining unpartitionned space, probably 10 gig for the Unix / filesystem-partion, 4 gig for the swap partition, and 6 gig for the /home partition.By the way, I know that gaim causes system hang-ups if not correctly configured, actively searching things related to the Ethernet cable makes the system retry too often and not give system time for your fingers on the keyboard.

28.8k modem ? so, I started really long before you. Because I did this with a 1200baud modem, which means 1.2k ! I used kermit from my home PC in order to start command line instructions and download logs and results.Now, it's so easy to have a personal IP address, that it's useless to have to dial on a modem.
