Some figures from IPCC

Something I found on the IPCC homepage.

Backup manager

This one is intended for thouse of you, who have partitions mounted over nfs and want to backup them locally, using the package backup manager. You may encouter a problem to get acess permission to the nfs mounted directory as local root user. Backup manager is run with root rights. To overcome the problem, you can set the no_root_squash flag in /etc/exports on the server. Now you can have the root rights on the client, and on the nfs mounted directories at the same time.

Keep in mind, that now every user who is able to connect to the nfs server, can have all privileges on the not root squashed directorys as listed in /etc/exports!

The look if the picture is somewhat unnatural, beeing sharp in the foreground and in the background at the same time. I like it for that.

Chinese food

Last saturday I visited vienna with my friends Marcus and Susi. We were accompanied by Lee a colleague of Marcus and his fried, whose name I forgot I’m afraid. In fact, Lee is of chinese nationality and showed us the best chinese restaurant in vienna. In contrast to the usual everything is breaded ones, the dishes are cooked and served as in china. We had all sorts of meat with sauce, sea food and some vegetables with rise. All of them was very tasty.

The adress of the restaurant is Vienna, Köstlergasse 16.
