I created a password file for use with ncsa_auth in squid. Firstly, is there a way to view the passwords in the file or are they all encrypted? Secondly, is there a way to get squid to reauthenticate the user after 24 hours?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'd like to know how to see which files have been printed on the printer. I can see which print jobs have run and who submitted them using the following command:
Code:
$ lpstat -W completed -o
but it doesn't show me the names of the files that printed.
Is there a way to set a retention policy to have it hold the job in the queue even after it's finished printing? Or a command to view the details of jobs that have already run? I'm looking for something similar to the output of the lpq command.
I backed up my Laptop with a script, as follows:
Code:
#! /bin/bash
sudo
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd -dvd-compat -r -v /home
I then installed a new version of Ubuntu 10.04 from disk and copied the files in /home from the cd to the hard. I am able to open, view etc. all the files in most directories except those in /home/documents. There are text files created by gedit, OOWP and several PDF files. I cannot open or view these files, depending: gedit and pdf files gets a Err.Msg. "Don't recognize file type" (it is clearly marked PDF) . The OO files look like rows of 'high bits' and a dialogue box opens giving me the options to change Char. Set, Font, Language, Paragraph break.
Is there a way to view all the crontab files, owned by root, users, and other system accounts, that exist on a system simultaneously rather than having to go the individual accounts? The distribution in question here is the Debian 4.0 release.

Code:
[root@localhost log]# ls -lt boot.log*
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 11 04:02 boot.log
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Apr 4 04:02 boot.log.1

-rw------- 1 root root 0 Mar 21 04:02 boot.log.3
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Mar 14 04:02 boot.log.4
[root@localhost log]# less boot.log*
This is what I got:
Code:
boot.log (file 1 of 5) (END) - Next: boot.log.1 <RETURN>
(END) - Next: boot.log.1
I could not view boot.log.2.
I would like to make Firefox view text files not in its internal editor, but in the external editor (namely EmacsClient).Is it possible to change this default behavior of Firefox?I beg your pardon for being inconcise, I'll try to state the matter once again. First thing to mention is that I use the Linux version of Firefox. That means that unlike the Windows version the contents of the application bindings dialog is very scarce.
When I click on the link to a text file (be it remote or local) by default Firefox opens it in the internal browser. I've tested, somehow it looks at file extension - when for example I make a file with .mpg extension, the behaviour is as it should be - the dialog with "Open With..." and stuff. When the file has unknown extension (unknown to /etc/mime.types), in my case it's .out, pure text format - the default behaviour is to open it in a Firefox window.
Is there any software in Linux to view huge .txt files, say, over 10 megas? I'm now using default "gedit", version 2.28.0, which seems to not be able to open huge .txt files.

View 2 Replies View RelatedLet's say I have file A, and using 'ln -s A B', I have B. When I open, edit and save B, now B is not symlink anymore. It's just a new copy of A. Is this expected behavior? I use Mac OS X, and I wonder it's common in UNIX. In this case, is there any way to keep B as a (soft link) to A? Or, make B as the hard link would be the only way to solve this issue? What's the advantage of using soft link than hard link? The editor that I use is 'TextMate' on Mac.

It can edit files remotely and offers me to choose local application to open those files.That is exactly what I need, but when I hit ctrl-s (not every time, in about 50% cases), it waits for around 10 seconds, alerts that connection has failed, and offers me to "abort". When I click abort, it instantly reconnect and save file.

View 1 Replies View Relatedwhen I try to view php files on my linux box, they want to download instead of viewing them. I configured apache for php as the manual said but for some reason it doesn't want to parse the php. the http.conf file may need to be changed, that the line "AddModule mod_php4.c" was missing in the conf, however the AddModule and ClearModuleList directives no longer exist in the newer versions of Apache. These directives were used to ensure that modules could be enabled in the correct order. The new Apache 2.0 API allows modules to explicitly specify their ordering, eliminating the need for these directives.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just noticed that even if I remove read and write permission for my files, another user can access those files if they use 'sudo'. The ls -l for the folder containing my file (let's call is myfile') looks like this.
"
Code:
-rw------- 1 username groupname 43 2010-03-09 20:23 myfile
"
I logged into another account I have made for myself (which had admin privileges) and then did
Code:
sudo nano /username/home/myfile
and ... the file was opened and I was able to read it. So what's the point of having user permissions if someone can bypass them by using sudo?
I just installed cplay on Slackware 13.1 but I ran into a problem and I am unable to figure it out on my own:
When browsing folders in cplay I went into a folder containing only .FLAC music files.. it was empty! I am unable to play any of these with cplay
If I cd into that folder through the terminal and play the file using ogg123 it works fine.. cplay is just a front-end to mpg123 and ogg123... I don't know why it isn't reading these files..
I dont know where to start... I was unable to find any documentation of config file for cplay (not even a slackbuild for it.. I installed it from source which I extracted from a Debian package)

Being able to reset the root password by booting into single usermode by editing grub. This is a MAJOR flaw. I know it makes no real difference against internet bourne attacks, but even so I must say I found it shocking. The only way I've found to stop this is to encrypt the entire HDD, so noone could get into single user mode without first knowing the encryption key/password.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI created a quicktime .mov movie file in iMovie on a Mac (that is not available anymore) and I want to 1) play & 2) edit the movie. I'd be happy to use a different format if I can figure out how to change it. Has anyone else done this?
Edit: If you skip down to post #16 you'll see I discovered it actually isn't a matter of editing a .mov file, but it turns out I don't have a properly exported quicktime .mov file. Instead I have (I'm not sure but I think its iMovie ver. 4.) 1) an .iMovieProj text file that lists the cuts by frame in and frame out, 2) an .mov file that isn't the complete file I thought it was and 3) a folder of all the clips that are in Apple's Quicktime DV format. In this thread people taught me about transcoding from the Apple's Quicktime DV format to liberated formats easier to work with. Given this knowledge and since I have a list of the cuts I'm asking if people could recommend a Linux video editor that would be easy to enter the tedious frame in, frame out info so I could reassemble the video.
