8/10    Help! I want a 9mm hemmorage.

8/10    My /etc/inittab suddenly disappeared on me.  I can't boot
        anymore (aside from sigle-user mode) any idea on how to
        fix it (Red Hat Linux 7.1)
        \_ Get /etc/inittab from some other system and copy it back to /etc

8/10    On a PC you can use something like Exceed to connect to a UNIX
        workstation desktop (e.g. CDE). How can you do the same from one
        Solaris workstation to another?
        \_ You use something like Exceed called X.
                \_ duh. The question is "how" not "what".
                  \_ duh. the answer was "you use...". that's definitely
                      an answer to a  "how".
                     \_ Sooooo, I am sitting in front of Solaris workstation A
                        and I would like to login to workstation B. "How" do I
                        connect to the X server on workstation B from
                        workstation A?
                        \_ wow, things have really slipped since i was at cal.
                           \_ I'm not talking about doing anything like
                              setenv DISPLAY blah:0.0, I want to see the CDE
                              login screen of workstation B on workstation
                              A's display.
                              setenv DISPLAY blah:0.0 and then running some
                              X application, I want to see the CDE login screen
                              of workstation B on workstation A's display. If
                              you don't know how, it's ok. really.
                              \_ That's not what you asked. dtremote to
                                 the remote workstation is one way. If CDE,
                                 then from your local console login screen
                                 Options->Remote Login (or something
                                 like that). Being unix, there are other ways.
                                 Then again, my ESP powers are dull so I may
                                 not know what the fuck you are thinking since
                                 you never say. Things "like Exceed" do not
                                 need to redisplay the CDE login screen, but
                                 just select apps. If you are running SSH
                                 you dont need to setenv DISPLAY either.
                             \_ you are thinking about xdm then. man xdm
                                to find out more.
                                \_ thanks. I'll look into that.

8/10    "Hello, habla espanol?"
        \_ "!Hola! ?Se habla Espanol?" would be the proper way to say it.
        "Si, hablo un poco de espanol."
        "Ok then, we'll call you back later."  (presumably when I'm more
        fluent)

8/11    Will you people RTFM for Christ's sake! Back in my day we'd laugh
        at these retarded questions and insult yermom. And if you're not
        going to answer the question, just insult them and get it over with
        instead of providing a line by line proof of the poster's stupidity.

        \_ nweaver d-d-d-definitely needs a gf
           \_ FIND ME ONE THEN, DAMMIT! -nweaver
              \_ You can find one yourself.  Lower your standards,
                 look in new places.
                 \_ you mean masturbating in your soda office won't find
                    you a girlfriend?
        \_ grammar error in Paragraph 4, Sentence 1.
           \_ you mean a grammatical error?
        \_ Interesting idea. What makes you think that the
           "bad guys" haven't already though about and
           implemented something like this?
           \_ help nick realize his dream!
        \_ the only way this is going to happen is if you find
           a service that's not commonly firewalled off. like http
           or ssh.
           \_ OH, like IIS?
              \_ Doh!
        \_ nweaver, your simulation is already done. For years scientists
           have already simulated the outbreak of disease. Assume a variant
           of bubonic plaque breaks out from Africa. More than 1/3 of the
           human beings will die before they receive treatment. It's called
           the "next plaque." We're already breeding super plaque of the
           next generation. It's just a matter of time. Since 1/3 of
           humanity will die anyways, who cares about wormhole. Complex
           systems grow and die quickly. That's just a fact of life.
           \_ Bubonic "Plaque", eh?  Is that what happens when you don't
              visit the dentist for a really, really long time?
           \_ man, you are SOME dipshit! bravo!

08/11   How can I setup htaccess to protect my web files? Any samples or docs ?
        \_ use google.
        \_ Make a .htaccess file in the directory you want to protect (will
           be inherited by all below it)  In it put:

           AuthType Basic
           AuthName "Top Secret User (Or Whatever you Want)"
           AuthUserFile /path/to/passwd/file/not/web/accessible
           require valid-user

           Then run /path/to/htpasswd -c /path/you/used/above username
           to make a new user and create the password file.
        \_ touch ~/public_html/.htaccess
           chmod o-r !$
