For a "normal" user to be able to use M11, it must be installed suid root. So, in the folder where M11 is installed enter (as root):

M11 accesses (even in the Linuxversion) the hardware (i.e. the port device) directly. Specifying the port is the same under DOS and Linux. For example selects the 2nd serial channel (COM2 under DOS). Under Linux this normally corresponds to /dev/cua1 or /dev/ttyS1, although M11 is not aware of devices like /dev/cua oder /dev/ttS.

The early versions of NcFTPd could run as "ftp" since the server did not support regular user logins (anonymous only). Current versions require that NcFTPd switch back and forth from root to user privileges, so it is not feasible to run except as root.

In all other cases, such as running DenyHosts from cron then technically speaking, no. However, in order to run DenyHosts as non-root you must ensure that you have read-permissions on the /var/log/ sshd server logs. Alternatively, you can copy them to a directory where you do have read-permissions. Also, in order for DenyHosts to block hosts, it needs write permissions for the /etc/hosts.deny file. DenyHosts will gladly run without being able to update this file.

Use "su" if you want to keep your current environment settings, or "su -" if you wish to use the root user's environment settings. You will be prompted for the root password. Copyright © 1999 Caldera Systems, Inc.

This is a small problem with run.exe. If you start XWin.exe with -nodecoration, -multiwindow or -fullscreen the window will come up normally.

If a normal user is running an X session (from startx or xdm), and that user, for instance, uses the su command from within an xterm to become root and then runs a program that tries to do something with the X server, the following error messages (or something similar) are usually seen: Xlib: connection to ":0.

Server hangs, or fails to start, and/or error log fills with "fcntl: F_SETLKW: No record locks available" or similar messages I upgraded from an Apache version earlier than 1.2.0 and suddenly I have problems with Apache dying randomly or not restarting properly On a SuSE Linux system, I try and configure access control using basic authentication. Although I follow the example exactly, authentication fails, and an error message "admin: not a valid FDN: ...." is logged.

You can. The only current limitation is that you cannot be able to create any new database records when running the Pet Store demo because you will not have permission to write to the SQLite database file. This means you will not be able to perform the "Check Out" action from the demo.

You can. Please refer to the detailed instructions in the ActiveGrid Installation and Deployment Guide. On Linux, I'm attempting to start the Studio, but it is not starting. The "ide.err" contains the line: Check that you do not have PYTHONHOME set in the environment which you are using to start the Studio. This setting may prevent the product from locating the correct Python libraries. Newer Linux distributions have enabled new kernel security extensions from the SELinux project at the NSA.

KQEMU/KVM are kernel modules so require root privileges to install. Once loaded they can be used by normal users as long as device node premissions are set correctly.

In the Debian packages of XFree86, some important variables affecting the startup of the X server are located in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config. In this particular case, you must change the option allowed_users to either console or anybody. See Xwrapper.config(5) for more information and examples. First, a note on terminology: conffile is a Debian term for a configuration file that is shipped as part of a package's payload.

All X servers need to be run as root in order to get direct access to your video hardware. Older versions of XFree86 (<= 3.3.6) installed all bundled servers to be automatically run as root (setuid to root). This is obviously a security hazard because X servers are large, complicated programs. Newer versions of XFree86 do not install the servers setuid to root for just this reason. Obviously, running an X server as the root user is not acceptable, nor a good idea security-wise.

New versions of Linux (with the new threading model) can also use <user-name> , but using "/sbin/iptables" may be a better solution. The Linux iptables maps port 80 requests to port 8080. This way, your Resin instance can start up as a normal user and listen to port 8080 without needing to start as root.

The difficulty with the core of OpenNMS is that these components need to run as root to be able to bind to low-numbered ports or generate network traffic that requires root: Here is an example of the error you will get if you try to startup OpenNMS as a non-root user: 2004-08-28 09:47:14,405 ERROR [main] Discovery: Failed to create ping manager: \ java.net.SocketException: System error creating ICMP socket (1, Operation not permitted)

The 2000/XP/2003 version needs to install a driver, something that normal users can't do. You can set the shortcut to run it as Admin, or use the 98/ME version.

Sounds like something on your system is misconfigured. Everytime I've had reports like this (works as root, not as user), it's turned out to be /tmp was unwriteable or something equally improbable. The easiest way to find out is to use the debugger and tell me where Expect is dumping core. (If you don't understand this statement, ask a local C or C++ programmer.) an aside, you should be using the most recent version of Expect (currently 5.22.1). But I don't know of any problems in 5.

Sounds like a misconfiguration problem on your system. For example, once I saw this on a Digital system where the system administrator had decided to remove setuid from all programs ("I heard that setuid is a security risk, right?"). On that particular system, Expect uses a system library function that internally calls an external program chgpt which exists solely for the purpose of managing ptys. Needless to say, it must be setuid.

ROOT should be installed on all workstations. You should be able to start it by typing 'root' in a terminal. The system automatically defines the environment variables $ROOTSYS and $PATH to have appropriate values. If you are unable to start root, check to see if you have inadvertently overridden these values.

Yes. But this is only needed to copy files at the root level of the drive and should only be performed by advanced Macintosh users. Contact us by using our support form for a special installer that will do this.

No, it will not. Microsoft Office is a Windows application. To learn more about running Windows applications on Intel UNIX systems refer to the Wine Project (http://www.winehq.com).

Sorry, but currently we do not have a Mac or Linux compatible version. However we will have a web/Java no-download version in a couple of months which you could play on your web browser from a Mac, Linux or Pocket PC. If you are using a firewall or any other security/antivirus software on your PC such as ZoneAlarm or Norton, it might prevent Play65™ game software to connect to the game server.

You can very easily run Linux and Windows on the same computer, switching between them whenever you want. There are a couple of different ways to do it, most distributions use a program called LILO (LInuxLOader) that gives you a prompt when your computer boots that you type either 'linux' or 'windows' into depending on what you want to do.
