I really object to the idea that I am a "thief" if I want to view the streamed content again, or show it to my wife, or if I want to convert it to format Foo for display with player Bar which I happen to like a lot. You publish or broadcast content, and that means the recipient can do with it whatever she damn well pleases as long as she doesn't redistribute it publically. But the idea that it's 'illegal' and 'thievery' to refuse to follow publisher's random unilaterally imposed restrictions of how the content should be viewed is bull. As long as the viewer doesn't violate copyright, he can do whatever. If you don't like that, don't publish it. It looks like the DMCA's brainwashing is already taking effect if people are already starting to believe it's "wrong" if you don't do as your told by the content owner. Sigh.

Re: AVI stream
Sure, any media format can be streamed over Apache. The secret is the use of meta files. The "streaming" is a function accomplished by the client, not the server. All the so called streaming protocols out there are just glorified TCP/UDP data transfers with some bells and whistles thrown in. If you want something streamed into Media Player you just create a .asx metafile with it's contents pointing to the http location of the media. Media player automatically knows how to "pace" the download. Real Player works on the same principle. An example asx file: Boss's Speach Copyright Blah http://wherever.com/something.avi";> You mentioned copyright issues. It is impossible to keep someone from stealing *any* streamed content if they're determined. It wouldn't take much for someone to take apart your asx file and copy the URL into their browser and simply download it. One thing you can do is configure Apache to only serve the content if the browser id string matches the known media player browser types. This would prevent anyone from accessing the file from Netscape or IE or whatever. You'ld have to check your access logs to see what kind of id string it sends. One other thing to consider is that I think, but am not sure, that media player will keep a temp file of content received over http in the system temp directory. You'll have to test it to make sure. I think you can also embed "copyrighted material" tags in the file itself to tell media player that it can't be saved off. But like I said before, it is flat out impossible to safeguard streamed media from a true hacker. :) So all you will really be doing is keeping away the casual thief. That goes for Real Player too. So how many in your audience are going to think to look in %temp% for a copy of this??

Well, I guess that depends on how important the mail is, and how often people "download" their mail. Obviously in an IMAP situation where mail is stored on the server, it must be safe and secure. With clients (software, i mean) downloading their mail to the desktop, the most they would notice is they are not getting any new mail for a short while (while you fix the server). People sending email will have the mail delayed, but most mail software (mta?) will keep trying for nearly up to a week, depending on software. So I guess that unless lots of users are using IMAP, then it won't be TOO bad if the disk the mail spool is on dies. > Software RAID in Linux works quite well.

Did it a while ago for a client. Also had problems with the boot sequence where if the disk on the first IDE link died, it would just sit there. Hardware RAID solved that problem. But I suppose it really depends how the hard disk is broken... in my individual case, the computer no longer could boot up past that point (i think something may have been wrong with the disk spindle motor)... but YMMV. > If you send email to me or to a mailing list that I use which has >4 lines > of legalistic junk at the end then you are specifically authorizing me to do > whatever I wish with the message and all other messages from your domain, by > posting the message you agree that your long legalistic sig is void. > Everyone hates those ultra long *confidentiality, security, legal, blah blah* sigs.

I took that thought into account, I was thinking along the lines of a P3 400 with at least 384 megs of memory. Maybe over kill but I would rather have over kill than a dead mail server. Most of the people are factory line workers, so I don't really think that they will all log in at once. I'm not even sure why their management wants to give them all work email accounts. There are two offices with 500 (that gives me some room to play with actually, closer to 450) people in each one. I'm not sure if one mail server could handle it or not (never set one up before).

That depends on how many messages are waiting, whether the users leave mail on the server, and whether they use mbox storage. If users leave mail on the server in mbox format, and they are emailing around Word files etc then a new P3 machine with 1G of RAM and a RAID setup of fast hard drives will have big problems. If the users do only plain-ascii mail with no big attachments, don't leave their mail on the server, have a fast connection to the server, and Maildir is used then 500 people logging on in a period of 10 minutes should work on a 486-33 with 64M of RAM. -- If you send email to me or to a mailing list that I use which has >4 lines of legalistic junk at the end then you are specifically authorizing me to do whatever I wish with the message and all other messages from your domain, by posting the message you agree that your long legalistic sig is void. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: Exim + POP3 + quota problems
Hello, If you are able to re compile Qpopper, you can change the location of the .lock file as a compile option, just put it some where there is no quota checking. You will also need to adjust the configuration of your MDA to watch for lock files in that new location. I ran into this same problem a couple of years ago (when I worked at Qualcomm :). I was also constantly having to repair the users mbox files because of corruptions in the headers that would cause Qpopper to die. There are a lot of compile time options that you can adjust and if you just have to keep using it, do re-compile with the "server mode" enabled. I forget the exact name of that option but it keeps the users spool file copies to only 1 per session. This change alone brought the load on our mail servers down to less than 1.0. I would recommend going with something like qmail (I like it more than anything else I have used) or any other pop server that supports Maildir. The only mail servers I didn't have to work on (fixing) have been those using Maildir.

This didn't work for me either:

Sorry, apt is already the newest version
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
spaz:~# vi /etc/apt/preferences
Package: *
Pin: release a=stable
~
/etc/apt/preferences: new file: 2 lines, 33 characters
spaz:~# apt-get -t testing install ssh
E: Command line option 't' [from -t] is not known.
spaz:~#
Naturally the next thing I did was "man apt-get" but that didn't
clarify.

I think it's usually just a few bytes large (probably contains the pid of the locking process), and it's the actual lock file (needed to prevent mbox corruption).

If you "apt-get install exim", the configuration process will ask you enough questions to set up the basics. Then I'd hit the Exim docs. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
