Simply, keep your hands out of the system's name space. Don't put
local stuff under /usr, this isn't Linux after all. Put local
additions under /usr/local.

Yes. Read the man page for cvsup and learn about the refuseQuote:> Hi

1. IP Masq'ing annoyance, X-Server needs fixed font
Please reply to newsgroup & email. Thank you.
First the IP masq'ing annoyance:
I have 2 Win98SE machines behind my Mandrake 7.1 box on a dsl line. This
seems to be the best way to secure them from scrt-kiddies who don't know
squat about *nix. Works too - my logs show some neat stuff now & again.
BUT, I want to play Icewind Dale with a friend in AU. And now my Winboxes
can't get on the Inet thru linux on the ports needed by IWD. IWD seems to
semi-randomly assign ports from 2300-2400.
I have NO idea how to get it to open. I portscan the winbox with IWD
waiting for a connection and port 2373 (for instance) will be open. I scan
the nix box, nothing.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Now for the X-Server:
For no reason I can find, I now can't start my X-server. It tells me it
can't find the font 'fixed' and I have no idea what I did with it.
The only things I can think of that have changed is I updated to pronto
2.0.0, and I had to replace my swap & /tmp drive.
The old swap & /tmp drive died (not completely, could copy everything in
/tmp over to a diff partition - and it worked). So I used a diff partition
for a while. Then I got another small drive I could use, did the same
procedure for copying the /tmp files over. After getting fstab right &
rebooting I suddenly can't use my X-server.
Quick outline of events in order in case I wasn't clear:
Everything works.
swap /tmp drive fails
copy things to another partition on a diff drive
reboot
update Pronto
get an rpl drive
reboot (to install hdware)
copy things to the new rpl drive
reboot
no more X-server
Again, help appreciated.
