this is how far my RTFM'ing has gotten me. I have installed ubuntu server, i can connect via ssh and sudo install stuff, including webmin. (yay!), now my question, what is my root password? cause when logging to the server i used the .pem keys, when i sudo im not asked for a password, does the fact that i sudo without entering a password mean my root has no password? -- *“The twentieth century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance: the growth of democracy, the growth of corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means of protecting corporate power against democracy”* ~ Alex Carey ~ Tel No: 0x2af23696

When using the web browser mail.charlestonfreight.co.ke, they are able to send and receive mails... Incoming and outgoing ports are 110 and 25 respectively... Im not able to contact either zuku or jambo techicians to assist.Zuku are the one providing internet services. How can i trace this address 41.212.12.84/ regards, Wallace -- WALLACE NGENE TARURU wallacengene(a)gmail.com

Withdrawing money from paypal
by Kiti Chigiri 08 Feb '11

08 Feb '11

Hi skunks. I have this nagging question that has just refused to go away. What options does one have for having money in their paypal account transferred to their local bank? A plus is that you tie your local credit/debit card to Paypal for verification. I have considered opening a US based bank account such that paypal sends money to that account and do a wire transfer from that account to the local bank account.However, I am stumped as to how to go about this, since there is some post 9/11 laws & regulations that limit/restrict bank accounts for no residents. If you have managed to do so, especially for a SME, please share your experience. thanks Kiti chigiri

HOW TO WITHDRAW FROM PAYPAL : FULL PROCESS

1. You will need to purchase digital currency using your paypal account. The best is liberty reserve. 2.You will need a company that you exchange your paypal credits for liberty reserve credits. 3.http://www.exeauto.com/paypal-to-libertyreserve.htm <http://www.exeauto.com/paypal-to-libertyreserve.htm>4.Once you exchange , the ecurrency company will fund your liberty reserve account. 5.In your liberty reserve account, you can withdraw and the exchanger sends you your money via Western Union. PS: i did this once to get some money from china :) *------------------------------------------------ ."The game of speculation is the most uniformly fascinating game in the world. But it is not a game for the stupid, the mentally lazy, the man of inferior emotional balance, or for the get-rich-quick adventurer.
