Well, I guess that was a fluke. The next time I booted into Linux The drive is not accesible, nor for severalmore tries. If I try to access the drive from the icon on the desktop, it waits a long while, and then gives me an error message saying that the drive could not be mounted read/write, but will mount it read only. Then the error message subscripts that there were in/out errors, and the file system could not be determined. This is the same disk that was recognised the one time.

Floppy will not mount on SUSE

I have installed SUSE 10 on a laptop that has a swappable CDROM/Floppy drive. When I was installing the OS my CDROM was connected. Later I tried to swap it with the Floppy and mount it but no success. Here is what I get: dell:/dev # mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt /dev/fd0: Invalid argument ... (0 Replies)

pam-panel-icon

PAM-PANEL-ICON(1)					      General Commands Manual						 PAM-PANEL-ICON(1)

NAME

       pam-panel-icon - A notification area indicator of pam_timestamp status

SYNOPSIS

       pam-panel-icon

DESCRIPTION

       pam-panel-icon  should  be  automatically  started when starting an X11 desktop environment.  For example, in GNOME gnome-session should be
       configured to start pam-panel-icon.  In a properly configured system it should never be necessary to start pam-panel-icon manually.

       pam-panel-icon uses pam_timestamp_check(8) to watch the pam_timestamp timestamp status.	If  the  pam_timestamp	authorization  is  active,
       allowing  an  unprivileted user to temporarily authenticate as the root user without providing a password, an icon in the notification area
       of the panel is displayed.  The icon allows dropping the authorization immediately.

EXIT STATUS

       Ordinarily, pam-panel-icon keeps running until the X11 desktop session ends, and then returns 0.  pam-panel-icon only returns with non-zero
       status on unexpected error.

FILES

       /sbin/pam_timestamp_check
	      A hard-coded location of the pam_timestamp_check executable.

SEE ALSO

       pam_timestamp(8), pam_timestamp_check(8)
