root
by terry 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

I seem to have lost access to root. The password I thought it to be doesn't work. I am one computer in my home. How do I locate my root password file to find out what it is? I do not use the root password much thus my forgetfullness.

crypt question/server hotel
by Arthur Bela 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

I want to put my server in a "server hotel". But: I don't trust my "server hotel owner". What can I do? I can crypt my partition/hdd's that contains the data. Ok. But: then my operating system will not be encrypted. Not Ok. If I crypt my operating system too, then when a reboot comes, I have to type a password to decrypt. But my server will be at a "server hotel" I can't directly use a keyboard [no service cpu]. What can I do [on technical side] to ensure a little more security to my server [e.g: crypt my partition/slice/whatever, that has the operating system, but without the "type password" ""problem""] Thank you for any tips/help.

Best way to install Debian (.deb) packages?
by Mark C. Allman 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

I've dug around and found a few threads and tools, e.g., alien (converts to .rpms). The Palm Pre SDK packages are all .deb files. Any suggestions on the best/easiest way to convert or install these on a Fedora 12 system? -- Mark C.

kmail 1.13.1 address book problem
by Dave Stevens 17 Apr '10

17 Apr '10

Hi, I had a bit of trouble with kmail in F11 a couple of months ago and mostly that has been cleared up. I tried at one point to get access to my address book by creating a new address book (addressbook2) and importing my addresses into it. That worked ok and gives me basic functionality, but now, when I right click on an address I can addit to the address book, but need to specify addressbook2. I don't really want to have two address books and would like to be able to just right click on "add to address book" and have the rest take place automagically. Can someone suggest what I should do here? Also, in the same context, I used to be able to click on an address that was already in my address book and I'd have an option to "open in address book." Is that gone, or is it an artifact of my having two address books? And finally, is there a setting to make kmail harvetst addresses in sent mail so they get added automatically to the address book if they aren't already there? And if it makes any difference I use the gnome desktop. Dave
