Re: samba over PLIP
Hi Erik, What I have done in the past with non-bootable Windows situations was to copy ncftp onto a boot floppy with the Linux kernel (and the proper drivers for the network card and PCMCIA support), then do a recursive upload (put -R *) to a Linux FTP server (or unfortunately, IIS if you have it) on the LAN. - Frank At 10:21 PM 3/13/2001, you wrote: Hello All, There's an Acer TravelMate here whose M$Windows was hit with an outlook macro virus (yes, such is the fate all who use this evil mailer).

Re: Sybase ASE 11.0.3.3
I've used it on a couple of development boxes and it ran very well for me. I can't comment on the stability of the product within a production environment, but I was very pleased with the multi-level transaction system, and the speed at which it queried very convoluted SQL statements (subselects, left joins, etc.).

Credit Like Card
Hello, I need to create a card that when scanned in a credit card scanner it connects to my server via the phone line. I would like to have the web server receive information like what someone purchased, who they purchased from and record that on the server. This card isn't a credit card where it completes a transaction, but it tracks what people purchase and gives them points based on what they purchase to give prizes away. Does anyone know where I could find more information, like a HOWTO, or something that could explain this process in-depth? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Matt

Purely per chance I bumped into those today, having explored the "slippery slope" and decided things were looking altogether more long-winded than I was hoping for.

They're possibly the ones at http://people.debian.org/~wakkerma ? Unforunately there's no accompanying notes. Purely per chance I bumped into those today, having explored the "slippery slope" and decided things were looking altogether more long-winded than I was hoping for. So I grabbed the relevant ones and postfix has built, apparently happily (even though a couple of the build-dependencies weren't as high a version as listed). I'll have a bit more of a go at this and then post my account, if there's any interest. Regards, Neale. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: Compiling courier on potato
Hello Jeff I tried it, and I can answer my own question ...

Then I had to add a line: "MAILDIR=Maildir" to /etc/init.d/courier-imap to set that environment variable so it would find my Maildir directories. I think courier-pop may need the same. The installation trashed the contents of /etc/pam.d/imap (I took a copy from the potato courier-imapd package) and I had to fiddle with /etc/courier/imapd to get it to authenticate. I have not setup the pop3d, but I would expect similar problems. I had to add a few symbolic links to get sqwebmail to work, but I have still not managed to get it to authenticate. (My source code compilation did authenticate, so there can't be too much missing). I think these may be general bugs in an unstable package, as opposed to potato specific. I have a number of site where I would like to deploy this package, and if it can be by means of an upgradeable *.deb, it will be worth the effort.
