trying to get Microsoft ICW to work
I have been trying to get Microsoft's Internet Connection Wizard to work with one of our Debian servers. I started with the perl scripts provided by microsoft and have customized them to gather the information we need and corrected the bugs in the original scripts. The problem I am seeing is when I have selected a POP and click next, the system disconnects from the internet and displays an error that it cannot contact the server. Has anyone had any luck getting this wonderful setup from Microsoft to work or am I just wasting my time fighting it ???

I used this in a perl script to set up a temp user on a system and set the
password for it:
$groupadd="groupadd $tempuser";
system("$groupadd\n");
$syscall = "useradd -m -c \"$firstname $lastname,,,\($ac\)$phone\" -e
\"$datef\" -g $tempuser $tempuser";
system("$syscall");
$chngpasswd= "echo $tempuser\:$password|chpasswd";
system("$chngpasswd\n");
works great

Re: moving mail system from one ISP to another
I just dealt with this for a single customer, but I think you could hack a quick script to do it for a number of people. I think you may need root access on the old mail server for it to work. I used a command like the following to forward all of her mail after I had added her to aliases to the new address. cat /var/spool/mail/userbox|mail -s "forward of your mail" [EMAIL PROTECTED] She reported that she got all of her mail as individual messages. I hope this helps....

Wayne, Apache does this, the user web pages need to be in a public_html subfolder of the user home directory.
