Topic: Odd stuff and other ?'s.

Is this normal? When I log into server-manager as Admin and do my stuuf then kill my browser later I can start another browser session goto server-manager without having to give my Admin UID and Password again. In effect Admin stays logged in even after exiting the browser. Since I use the employee workstations when accessing the server-manager other users not authorized can gain access as Admin.  Is  there anyway to logoff, sometimes this prevents me from accessing "user-manager" a different user.

Can someone point me to a Howto for CA's somehow I have futzed up IE 6 so that I can no longer access server-manager.  I use mozilla at home but all the workstations at work have IE.

I have a Dell PowerEdge 500sc with and Adaptec 3960D Ultra160 SCSI adapter. Here is some of the dmesg log . . .

First this error
kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno = 2

Anyone see this error message? Can someone tell me what it means?

I have one 18G and two 36G drives on a Adaptec 39160 SCSI adapter, I don't believe this is a RAID adapter.  The 18G is Dev 0 and the two 36G's are 1 and 2.  What would be a good setup? I think that using the 18G for the OS and the two 36G in a mirror array for /home sounds good but I don't know how to setup RAID for /home after the install and 18G seems like a lot just for the OS. Can I just set it up RAID with the two 36G's and use the 18G for something else (local backup)?  Any suggestions? Got the SCSI and RAID Howto but I can tell that this is going to take awhile for me because I know just enough about Linux to be dangerous.  Any hints, guidance much appreciated.

This is a great product and I am happy to be part of this fine community.

TIA Wildkow

Clear your browser's cache to completely log out.

I had not realised this myself and will check it out.

Thanks.

Serge.

Make sure *all* copies of the browser have been closed - leave no copies of IE / Mozilla / Netscape running. Under windows, that may even mean closing all explorer windows (!) due to the incestuously inter-related nature of IE and Explorer.

Thanks Serge and Guck

After tomorrow I will have some time to do some testing on this.  I think maybe a logoff option in the server-manager would be a great add-on.  I don't know much but I think I could handle that, will report back.

I have  a Dell 1550 with an Adaptec scsi controller of some kind. I get the same error and haven't worried about it too much. I'll be interested to have it explained.

I'm no expert on these things, but I have always taken this to mean that the kernel isn't set up to handle SCSI that way [with a kernel module]. The boot sequence continues and the SCSI system is hooked by a driver.
