So… I was trying to log onto my phpmyadmin to change some tables manually and I cannot login… I tried the common password I would use and no luck… I got hacked? W00T??? So I started lookign around and what got me thinking was that no matter what user i tried using to login I would get an erro saying that I cannot access as user ‘root’! So at the end what si the problem? A cookie!!! Thanks to this post I was able to solve the issue!
In Firefox Clear all cookies that begin with “pma” or “pma_”
Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Cookies -> View Coolies.
Choose the Cookies for the site “linwebXX.edikon.net” that start with “pma_” and delete them.
Close the Window
That’s ALL!!!
Happy mysql’ing

Some people seem to be getting this error when installing xen 3.2 on Lenny.
It has been referenced as Bug #505517. The following should help you fix the problem
Notes taken from another blog post on installing xen 3.2 on Lenny.
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
apt-get install xen-hypervisor-3.2-1-amd64 xen-linux-system-2.6.26-2-xen-amd64 xen-utils-3.2-1 xenstore-utils xenwatch xen-shell xen-tools
From the Fugu Homepage:
Fugu is a graphical frontend to the commandline Secure File Transfer application (SFTP). SFTP is similar to FTP, but unlike FTP, the entire session is encrypted, meaning no passwords are sent in cleartext form, and is thus much less vulnerable to third-party interception.
Fugu allows you to take advantage of SFTP’s security without having to sacrifice the ease of use found in a GUI.
Fugu also includes support for SCP file transfers, and the ability to create secure tunnels via SSH.

In OSX Open a Terminal window and paste this
defaults write com.apple.systempreferences TMShowUnsupportedNetworkVolumes 1
That will allow you to see (as the command says) unsupported Volumes in Times Machine. All you have to do now is ensure your drives stay mounted every time you boot up OSX.
TIP: This works best over LAN, unless you are lucky to be on a network with high upload capacity to your Samba Share.
Simple Problem with a simple solution!
Problem: After rebooting OSX, your mounted drives/shares do not appear and you have to remount them manually!
Solution: Mount your drives/shares, then go to System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items (tab on top)
Drag your shares in the window and select “Hide” to avoid them showing when you login.
That’s all! enjoy!
