I don't want to use squidguard

the example of squidguard
there is a redirection to a default web page for
all blocked site, so I
decided to redirect my users to a default home page
when using a wrong
site. But if I redirect them to www.google.com I can see
the page
right, when redirecting to a page of mine I cannot see the resources
in
it.

Maybe the problem is that if the resource (e.g., and image) is
referenced with
a local path (e.g., img/construc.gif) instead of an
absolute url (e.g.,
http://www.google.com/img.png) it cannot be loaded.

Is it possible to have a workaround about that?

I will try remounting
the drive from the script.[ Its a sbackup
package crontab running as
root.]

I also suspect that its due to sleep mode. Could it have
something to with
the fact that I reformatted the drive to ext3 from
NTFS?
I found this article claiming that there is no problem with Maxtor
drives.[
http://www.engadget.com/profile/1588927/].

I'd simply start the script with "sudo umount /dev/sda1; sudo
mount
/dev/sda1" That is, if it is a bash script. Other types of
scripts
would need other commands, or a new script with that and the
command
to execute the original script.
If you run the script as root
(in the root crontab) it shouldn't even
be necessary to use sudo.
It
might even be useful for the harddrive to shut down with the power

consumption.

just my 2 cents

Hey,


`alias` is your friend.
You can set alias's in your ~/.profile or

.bashrc
Something like this should work.
`alias x='exit' q='quit'

sd='shutdown -h now' sb='shutdown -r now'`


edit ^^ rb='shutdown -r
now'


or just
`alias kthxbye='shutdown -h now kthxbye; exit'



cheers,

Folks,

Note that after you edit the

.bashrc or any of the similar shell control
files, rather than logging

off and back on, you should use
a command like:

source ~/.bashrc

<---(use which ever shell script you are
working with here)

to test

your changes. This provides a chance to make sure that you did
not muck

something up when the changes were made. Cause if for some
reason you

did something wrong now (some sort of error message is
issued) you can

go back and correct the resulting problem, if you get no
response then

your changes worked AND are active no need to log off and
back on.

If

there is something seriously broken after your changes are made, you
may

have trouble logging back on if you just log off...

Regards,
Jay

The organization I'm in has moved

to using what I believe is a Bess
filter behind a PIX firewall, and it

authenticates users before allowing
access to http and https sites.
It
tries to automatically authenticate
users to a Windows Active
Directory
domain.

The boss said I can manually configure my web
browser to use
the proxy.
I set it up in Firefox to go to the
correct port and
address, and it
prompts me to log in then I can web
browse. But
auxiliary services...my
weather applet, my system
updates...are blocked
still. Even if I set my
network settings to
use that proxy and use
authentication, the filter is
blocking
everything except for my Firefox
browser.

Is there a client-side
solution to this??

Hello,

Wanted to try hardy-alpha6. Downloaded

the iso. As I did not want to
burn a cd and install it, thought o

trying it as a VM.

* Tried kvm to run it and got a blank screen. The

command I used was

kvm -cdrom hardy-desktop-i386.iso -boot d


*
Tried VirtualBox. could boot and play around. But, could not
change

the screen resolution.

The overall look and feel of the
distro is
quite good.

I tried running evolution and was frustrated.
The window
size is bigger
than the screen res and I cannot resize it.
The same
patter continues
and it is impossible to do anything. Is
there a way to
get round this
problem? IMHO, this is a bad UI design
:-(

Have a friend who uses Windows

but wants to use Linux. Over about
4-5 years I got him to use Fedora

whatever version I was on at that
time. He had nothing but troubles
and
I would try to help him but it
just never worked and he gave up.



A couple of weeks ago he asked again and I told him ubuntu and he

got
the live cd and it ran fine on his computer. So he loaded it
onto
the
computer and everything works. He (and me) were amazed. His
biggest

problem is deleting Totem so VLC will come up as the prefered
viewer.

The printer works, the Internet works it all works.


He is now a
happy Linux user

who

are not all that
familiar with what they are ding. I want to be
able
to just
tell
them run (for example) vncviewer
machine_name:10 and accept
multiple

simultaneous connections,
each of which will get their own desktop
but
as a
defined
"guest"user.

Does this make it
clearer?

Let me
see whether I understand the requirement
clearly.

As I
understand it you want a number of Windows users to
be able to

connect to a multiuser Ubuntu server system. Users would
be able
connect
at any time and would have access to a GUI desktop.
You
don't want these
users to have their own login ID on the Ubuntu

machine, but you do want
each logged in user to see a different

desktop rather than all of the
users sharing access to a single VNC

display.


Yes, your application differs from mine. In my case I

want the windows
users to access a generic login ID that will provide

certain services for
them. These will be started up on the host machine

automatically when that
generic user logis in.

Hi
Lea,
Merci / Thanks for
your sample !
Leo's explanations were quite
great but how can I as
newbie
follow !? ;-(
with your sample I see
you are bilingual FR and
EN and your locale is
F ! ;-)

Can I just
copy and paste your sample
into my environment and remove
all entries
of FR ... and replacing
'fr_FR' with the Swiss German one
and
how
does the Swiss German look:
de_CH ???

TIA for advise and guidance !

Cheers, svobi

Subject: shorten "exit" !?

Hi Linux / Ubuntu experts & users
How

and where can I add a short version of "exit" ?

I am used to short

versions of
x for exit and
q for quit or
sd for shutdown or
sb

for setboot !!!

Your advise and hints are very appreciated. ;-)


Cheers, svobi

Hi, You need to edit your .bashrc file which

is under your home
directory.

If you scroll down, you will see a

line like the following:

# some more ls aliases

After the

examples below this line add your own entries. For example to
use sd

for shutdown you would add:

Alias sd='shutdown -now'

You need to

logout and back in again for the changes to take effect.

Hope this

helps
Robert

By the way, read carefully the english comments

I assume you are
referring
to the shell. To exit a shell, you may send
an EOF
character. To do
that, just press Ctrl-d. No need for a special

shortcut.

The other
shortcuts may be set as shell aliases; Robert
Sweetnam already

explained how to do that.

Hey,


`alias` is your friend.
You can set alias's in your ~/.profile or

.bashrc
Something like this should work.
`alias x='exit' q='quit'

sd='shutdown -h now' sb='shutdown -r now'`
or just
`alias

kthxbye='shutdown -h now kthxbye; exit'

cheers,
Owen.
