Re: please let mehave nt again. i have messesd up my computer loading linux
So it starts to boot, but BSODs? It is probably not finding the System partition where it is identified in boot.ini. Changing the partition table when you formatted partitions for Linux probably changed the effective partition number for your System partition. If boot.ini lives on a FAT 16 partition, you can try editing it to see if you can make NT boot. Find a line that looks something like this, and change partition( ): multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT40="Windows NT Workstation Version 4.00" Otherwise, it may be easiest (if you have an ERD!) to do a maintenance re-install.

Re: an interesting experience
NT 4.0 lets you boot to NT or NT "VGA Mode"--or whatever other OS choices are in boot.ini, and so did 3.51 (at least). And to really mess up video settings, your user would have to have administrator privileges on the system. Windows 3.1x DID have this problem--but there you could boot to DOS and edit system.ini to fix things.

Re: Sendmail question
Thanks to the people who responded for their ideas. Where I think we will go with this is indeed using tools for virtual domains. In particular, if we can be sure doing so will leave mail to valid addresses untouched, making an entry to virtusertable sounds like the approach that will have least impact. I may do a test system to verify.

True, but it means about three years worth of former employees, some of whom we've probably forgotten. And then there is the issue of senders guessing e-mail addresses--while the way we assign addresses is probably not exactly intuitive for some of our colleagues. >Bill Stuart Biggerstaff Linda Hall Library 5109 Cherry Kansas City, MO 64110 Phone: (816) 926-8748 (800) 662-1545 x748 FAX:(816) 926-8785 URL:www.lindahall.org ___ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
Sendmail question
Is there a straightforward way to have e-mail sent to nonexistent addresses forwarded to root or another account? We would like to be able to collect these to possibly forward to the users. I know we could set up aliases for deleted former users and maybe for incorrect spellings we could anticipate, but that wouldn't get all possibilities. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Re: Scanners [was Re: (no subject)]
I would say... Is there any way around your requirements? HP (and Microtek) make pretty decent stuff, but mainly for low-end graphic arts work: not high-speed or larger format. Then there's always Fujitsu, and they seem affordable for production scanners, but theirs leave you with a choice between color and larger formats. VERY good stuff, though. Under $1000.00 for one (ScanPartner 15C) that does all you want but is 8.5x11 (8.5x14 for the ADF). $4-5000.00 for one (M3096GX) that's faster, does 11 x 17, but is monochrome. Unfortunately, theirs just seem to just get faster but stay monochrome as you spend more--though it appears there is something called the M4097D that is large-format, color, and puts us right back where you were before in terms of price.

But it hasn't been that long since some goons have used "their faith" as an excuse to bludgeon people to death. And their leaders squirmed in front of the media because the wanted to distance themselves but couldn't really condemn the activity. The paradox: Modern, open society seeks religious tolerance. Fundamentalists seem to hold persecution of those who hold other beliefs to be an important part of being a believer--and that it is indeed persecution of THEM to prevent them from doing so.

Re: Picture Problem
I suggest playing with your Outlook settings instead of KMail. Outlook can do things to attachments that make them usable by no other e-mail client (even Outlook Express). I haven't fooled with it enough to know just what you need to do, but I did have to change settings on how Outlook dealt with attachments so one of my users could communicate with people mainly using Eudora or Outlook Express. The option to send messages in text only mainly refers to the ability of the mailer to do messages as HTML instead of text, so fonts, underlining, etc. can be included. There should be a separate setting for how attachments are handled and encoded. If you see your whole message appear as an attached file "winmail.dat" you've done it wrong.

Not so far...but the ability of PDFs and Acrobat to do something like this means we can't look at PDFs as innocuous.

Actually, the way I read this, the script is embedded in the PDF.

Re: The Strangest Things In My Mailbox!
This particular virus grabs a file from the user's hard drive, appends itself to that file, and sticks an extension (.pif, .com, .lnk--and several others) that allow it to execute--then sends that file as an attachment, and the Just a nuisance unless you unthinkingly RUN it...the good thing about it working with Outlook Express.

Re: Help with PDF files
Just wondering... If your documents actually are .TXTs--i.e. with no inherent formatting--why do you need to convert them to .PDF? They should be usable as they are on essentially any platform, including browsers. I recently had to buy a couple of copies of Acrobat because patrons "didn't want to deal with" multipage .TIFs. They wanted to use Acrobat Reader (which they had to download), even though if they had Windows there is an accessory that will read and print them. And even if they had Macs all they had to do was get the latest free QuickTime.
