Allow X Forwarding over SSH while using sudo

If you want to sudo, but then allow X Forwarding over SSH, I've found the easiest way is to copy the xauth information from the logged in user to root.
For example:

Installing Cisco VPN on Linux

I got the client and patch from here. I used the 4.8.01.0640-k9 version with the 2.6.24-final patch.  I have tested it on Ubuntu 8.10.
 
The installation is very easy.

Fixing the HTML Browser in Notes 8 for Linux

Notes v8 and v8.0.1 (native) for Linux both use the Mozilla rendering engine.  However, it looks for a fairly old version of xulrunner, specifically version 1.9 beta 5.  To fix this:

Updating the "Favorites" in the KDE4 Start Menu (Kickoff)

In KDE4, the file which stores all the preferences is:
~/.kde4/share/config/kickoffrc
On OpenSuSE 10.3/11 which uses the KDE4 Start menu, the file is at:
~/.kde/share/config/kickerrc
 

Using Checkpoint's SNX on Linux

These are the appropriate steps for Fedora 9, OpenSuSE 10.3 and OpenSuSE 11.0. More distributions probably follow.

I'm assuming that you, or someone at your organization, has set up the Checkpoint SNX webpage. Visit that page in Linux with a Java enabled webbrowser. After you login, you will be prompted in a pop-up terminal window to enter the root password. However, after you've done this, the window will just close.

Installing the Novell Client for Linux on OpenSuSE 11.

There are two changing factors in every release of OpenSuSE which precipitate slight modifications before installing the client. One, is the novfs kernel module and the other is the version of binutils that the xtier base was compiled against.

  1. Download the Novell Client from http://download.novell.com (I'm using the SLE10-SP1 version in the instructions below)
