RE: [OT] FAT32 vs NTFS
This probaly is not all that recommended to use FAT32. FAT32 could get corrupted easily, especially is system gets shut off accidently (no battery for instance).

RE: Plausibility of sendmail?
But Exim provides a sendmail-compatible interface, and a symlink to /usr/sbin/sendmail. Anything that expects to call sendmail from the command line should work fine with Exim, including all those perl modules. Even if you are doing something obscure that absolutely requires sendmail, then you should still be able to develop and test the other 99% of the app on your laptop with Exim, without any actual sendmail. That is great. I didn't know that. This will help. Also, out of curiosity are the mails archived the same way as well? The notion of requiring a specific MTA boggles my mind. I share the same opinion. Trust me. They also expect me to use their notoriously outdated unmanaged hacked Linux system with outdated Perl 5 and outdated CGI.pm modules with outdated DBI modules. :'( At one college, it was only this quarter they discovered ssh and scp. :-( What's sad is that my Sony Picturebook (12x5 laptop) is more powerful than the server.

RE: Plausibility of sendmail?
Hi. Essentially, I would probaly never utilize Cygwin as a production system. Actually, truth be told, I would never personally use Windows as a prodcution system. The thought just scares me. But I don't want to go there... However, I do use Windows as a development system, where I test client-server scripts/programs using a lot of Open Source, some on cygwin, some outside of cygwin. I would want to test a REAL sendmail program for these development scenarios. Lastly, my professor REQUIRED us to use sendmail for our Perl CGI/DBI/mail projects. There was no choice in the matter. The code would be deployed on the college system, which is a Linux system. My development machine is a small tiny VIAO laptop running Windows XP. I would prefer to develop the whole application on my system, at a relaxing coffee shop, and sendmail will allow me to do that. Otherwise, I am forced to use the horribly maintained lab system. - Joaquin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Dessent Sent: Sunday, February 01, 2004 10:11 PM To: 'Cygwin List' Subject: Re: Plausibility of sendmail?

Part of me really wants to ask why in god's name you'd want to inflict the utter crapulence of sendmail onto an otherwise innocent system, but that's really just being snide. If your intent is to use Windows+Cygwin+sendmail as a production mail server, then you would be much better served (no pun intended) running it on a native posix OS like Linux or FreeBSD, as there is a significant performance and security impact of emulating Posix under Windows. If you're just after 'sendmail compatibility' then both ssmtp and exim provide symbolic links to /usr/sbin/sendmail.

RE: Plausibility of sendmail?
On another angle for this discussion. Consider that for one M$ $FU 3.5 has sendmail. Before this many commercial solutions charging quite a lot of $$ for sendmail under Windows. Microsoft even compiled a version of sendmail for the earliest versions of Windows NT 3.51 long ago and posted it on their ftp server.

RE: MS offers Services For Unix free of charge
Well, I was amazed that MS would EOL Win 9X/Me users, which I'm guessing is like 40 million. I know that in Europe, Latin-America, and Asia, many people use older machines and do not see the business need to upgrade to newer hardware. If they are forced to, then I am pretty sure Linux becomes more of a reality for them. Aside from this, I always believe in Open Source. Even if SFU becomes like standard, then still perhaps we could tag along and offer freeware compilers for it, and offer cygwin for orphaned machines. It's always good to have free databases, web servers, development tools, etc. for those that cannot support MS's coffers for such tools, whether or not they are on Linux or Windows. - Joaquin -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Larry Hall Sent: Wednesday, January 14, 2004 4:15 PM To: Buchbinder, Barry (NIH/NIAID); [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: MS offers Services For Unix free of charge Who knows for sure what the *real* driving force that is behind this change. However, it is timed very closely (concurrently?) with MS's extension of 98, 98SE, and Me support through Fall 2006. The current buzz on this change was that MS was afraid too many orphaned 98 users (currently 25% of Windows users) might defect to Linux rather than upgrade if they were left high and dry. So Linux was perceived as a real threat in this situation. SFU becoming free may have just come along for the ride in the hysteria. It certainly helps with the story that Windows is the best (so why would you want to leave it) too. But too much discussion about MS's motives here will get us very off-topic.

Is HOME directory broken?
Hi, There seems to be some odd behavior with the HOME directory. The default profile scripts are suppose to initially set this directory up, but they seem to be failing. I tried this on several different systems (Windows 2000 and Windows XP), but I run into problems. I then created a HOME environment variable in the cygwin.bat file, but this did not work. It one case, doing a cd $HOME only goes to the root of the C: drive, even when a C:\CYGWIN\HOME exists or doesn't exist. What's going on? How do I get a functional home directory system working? - Joaquin PS - I did not find adequate info on this in the FAQ, nor in any documentation files. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Where are mount points stored?
Hi, I found the mount points on my system using mount, but I was wondering if how these are stored. There is no discernable fstab or something similar in the /etc directory. - joaquin -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
