Hi Jerry,
I looked at your IP to see what kind of router you had.
It appears to be supplied by your ISP, because telnet showed:
Sawtooth Technologies, LLC Stevenson, WA Unauthorized Access is Prohibited
gw-sawtooth.pdx.rain.net 98.10.20-0 For Service Call +1 509 427-4865
Sawtooth Technologies Ether 204.119.0.254 PL/DHGL/109201/ELG 204.119.4.30
So you may need to call them to get the password or to forward port 22
for you.

What microsoft has to say about XP
by Dotan Cohen
I think that more people mould move away from WIndows if they read the notices
on the microsoft website:
"The simple act of visiting an Internet site can be extremely damaging to the
system"
from:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/...
Important to note that the article quoted's purpose is to convince the user to
create and use a standard account, and not the system's default Administrator
account. What this means is that the system's default beaviour is to make the
simple act of visiting an internet site extremely damaging to the system. Why
on earth would people use such an OS?

HP Compaq nx6125 touchpad weirdness
by Mika Penttilä
Hi!
I'm seeing weird Synaptics touchpad behavior on the HP Compaq nx6125
with FC4 X86_64 (updated to latest). A tap on the touchpad generates
sometimes Button1, sometimes Button 2 events, I think more often
Button2, which makes it quite difficult to use. Is there something to
tune for this, or is this a known one? Under Windows it seemed to work ok.
Thanks for any input!

batch convert mp3 to ogg
by Robert Bell
I'd like to walk through my mp3 directory and subdirectories and convert
all my files to ogg and put them in a the same structure under a
different directory. Is there something that does this? maybe someone
could offer a script, I'm not as bash literate as some of you. Thanks !

what java RPM?
by Mihamina Rakotomandimby
Hi,
I need to install Java on my FC4. I dont want to install it outside of
any yum or at least RPM packaging.
I know the sun website provides some rpm.
What about it? it's just for college/studies use, nothing really
serious.
What about Jikes, Blackdown,... what do you use?
Most of the people arroud me use the sun java. I would like to have a
pretty similar way of byte compiling (just javac), so that I can follow
the teaching. Dont want something exotic... :-)
Thank you.

ssh login delays
by Bob Hartung
Hi all,
I have two linux boxes at home: FC3 and FC4. I am logging into the
FC4 box from FC3 and the time from issuing the 'ssh ....' command until
I see the password prompt is 36 seconds. As I am new to this I have no
idea where to begin looking for the cause of the delay.
I can login into the FC4 box from my wife's OS X Mac with virtually
no delay.
Pointers please on where to begin looking for the hangup.
TIA

CD Unmounting Help!!
by William_King＠Dell.com
I'm unable to unmount any cd in the last couple of days. CD's auto or
manually mount with no problems. But when I try to unmount get message
device is busy. I've gone through processes running in KDE SystemGuard
and killed all process showing accessing /dev/hdc, even killed
konquerer. I've even changed FSTAB to noauto,ro,users, but to no avail.
My systems were working with no issues, 1 is a laptop that has been
running fc3 for over 6 months. I'm running KDE 3.3. I don't seem to
have this problem in GNOME.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
