And without having an SMTP-AUTH setup in front of me, it's just a lot of guesswork. The best I can say is that, from what I've read on the SASL-lists, you definitely do not want auxprop involved at all. As you noted, auxprop is trying to pull in other mechs like OPIE, which is not what you want. If you haven't figured things out by tomorrow, I have an OpenBSD box with which I was testing out some IMAP stuff that I can retool to check this out. But that will take a little time, since OpenBSD's Sendmail isn't compiled with SASL support by default.

Hi you need to do 2 things. 1. configure exim to use a domain name (the one you get your emails to). I don't use exim so I can't help you with that. 2.

X, font problems (woody->sid)
Hello all, [please cc: me] I have some X-related problems: 1. I get random images thrown all over the screen... if an html page is loading in the background, I'll portions of gifs/jpegs all over my screen, or the toolbars, scroll bars, etc... This happened when I tried 2.6.0-test1 on woody. 2.4 kernels worked fine. 2. On upgrading to sid, I couldn't get 1280x1024 (was much less, dunno how much, but the config file had the default as 1280x1024) for my Samsung SyncMaster 750s. The Horiz freq. in the XF86Config-4 was set to 28-50, whereas the monitor supports 30-70. But, on changing it to this value, I get the same effect as in (1) above, even with 2.4 kernels. On switching to a console and back to X, this problem goes away on 2.4-based kernels. 3. The fonts have been screwed since I upgraded to sid... They're larger, and just don't look as they used to earlier... helvetica's way bigger and the whole thing looks ugly. Some of them aren't even readable. I have xfs and xfs-xtt running and antialiasing on in KDE, though that shouldn't matter... even GNOME doesn't display fonts properly. The fonts directories have been changed in the X config file since woody, and fonts exist in the new as well as old locations.. I haven't tried pointing the paths to the older ones yet.

You do not want to let users login before networking is up, NIS is running, and $DEITY knows what else is needed for a correct user environment. That is why a /etc/nologin is created early in the bootprocess, before it is possible for mortals to login, and removed just before the entire bootsequence is complete.

mkboot
hi, I wanted to make a boot disk, prior to experimenting with the compiling of kernels. I ran mkboot /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.18-k7, and the disk was created. I rebooted and the floppy started to boot up, until it hit a kernel panic. The error message was; Root fs not mounted VPS: Cannot open root device "303" or 03:03 Please append a correct "root=" boot option Kernel Panic:VFS:Unable to mount root fs on 03:03 Fair enough I thought. I went to the lilo.conf that was on the floppy disk to add "root = /dev/hda3" to the file, only to find it was already there!

If it is, then dpkg --purge quota will remove the package completely. By the way, /etc/init.d/quotarpc is a shell script which is easily readable. If you do that you'll see that the rpc.rquotad daemon is only started if you have quotas enabled on the local filesystem and are exporting filesystems over NFS. Otherwise, the script does nothing. And if you do have quotas enabled and you are exporting filesystems over NFS to another box, you do actually want to have that daemon running.

Choice of MTA
I don't want to start a flame war, but need some input in order to choose a mail transport agent. The ones of interest to me are primarily sendmail (I've used it for many years, but need a comparison), postfix (which I gather is readily configured to solve a problem I'm experiencing and was the direction I was inclined to go), and exim (which seems very popular among debianists, but don't know why). I know that qmail has also been popular. My aim is to use the MTA with rmail (emacs) and mutt in a text rather than gui environment on a standalone workstation. Stability, debian friendliness, straightforward configuration, and spam blocking are my principle concerns.

unix file attributes: general question
I know little about unix file attributes, and wonder if someone would point me to an introduction to the subject. When a file is saved, I specify its name and where to save it. I know from use of the ls -l command that there's additional information about ownership, permission, last saved date date, size, and basic file type (directory or doc). Is there any other attribute information stored or potentially stored in the file? Applications apparently can detect a document's file type, so that information must be held somewhere. Is information about the document's MIME type and charset also held? I thought that the command lsattrib would display all this information, but apparently no such command or utility exists. Is there something that will display all the information about a file, going beyond the ls -l command? Haines Brown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: kernel-source-2.4.20-bf2.4 ?
I don't believe the bf2.4 represents a different kernel source - rather
it's a particular configuration of the 2.4.20 kernel, for installing
("bf" = "boot floppy" IIRC).
You can copy the config- file from /boot to
/usr/src/linux/.config (note the .) to duplicate your current installed
configuration. "make oldconfig" does the same I believe.
If you're not booting on this kernel, you'll have to find the config
file on the CD.

G++ problems in Woody
How do I repair a broken g++? When I try to compile even a simple "hello world" program with g++, I get the following: /lib/ld-linux.so.2(*IND*+0x0): multiple definition of `__xstat64' /lib/ld-linux.so.2(.text+0xc810): first defined here /lib/ld-linux.so.2(*IND*+0x0): multiple definition of `__fxstat64' /lib/ld-linux.so.2(.text+0xc9b0): first defined here Also, trying a ./configure on the abiword package, the configure utility reports that g++ doesn't work (just as a confirmation). I tried removing and re-installing g++ and binutils, but get the same problem. Have I clobbered some library? It appears that if I try to remove and re-install libc6, I'll kill my whole system.

I suspect you're not really writing postscript documents by hand; what
is producing the files? There's not an easy way to do this in
general. There might be something that could rescale a file to be 10%
larger and still centered, but I can't come up with anything off hand
that would do it.
Answering the question you actually asked, though, when you 'moveto'
to draw text, just go closer to the edge of the paper. I find it
useful to define macros for this sort of thing, so I might have:
/inch { 72 mul } bind def
/pageheight 11 inch def
/pagewidth 8.5 inch def
/margin 0.75 inch def %% change this to change margins
/fontheight 11 def
/Palatino findfont fontheight scalefont setfont
margin pageheight margin sub fontheight sub moveto
(Hello, world!) show
showpage
And if you're really motivated, you might look at the source in
http://web.mit.edu/dmaze/Public/runsched.ps, which does have some
line-filling and font-changing code.

I also found that. My problem, and I probably wasn't quite clear

Re: SMTP AUTH with Postfix and SASL
Sorry, no hints from me. But I think I'm having the exact same problem with my setup except that I'm using sendmail. Here's a tip for Debian MTA package maintainers: Many people who want an MTA running are going to want SMTP-AUTH and TLS. These should be configured and enabled by default. I don't see how it would hurt those people that don't need to do SMTP-AUTH to have it enabled. And its far, far easier to disable or break this functionality than it is to enable it. Todd is helping me out with my problem. If we can help me come to a solution then I will pass that info along to you since I think it will be relevant.

The information provided doesn't make it clear that he's doing any clicking that would change the colors of buttons, or what buttons he's referring to. What came to my mind is the same sort of thing that happens when you've got the wrong protocol specified, and you move the mouse, and menus pop up randomly or windows open as buttons get "clicked" even though you haven't clicked the mouse, etc. You may very well be correct that what he is saying is that the _only_ problem is that the mouse pointer is invisible; you are definitely correct that he "explicitly said the mouse is working", but I was operating under the impression that he didn't say quite what he meant. I could very well be wrong about that. Nonetheless, yes, I did "actually _READ_ the original mail".

Making coasters
I have started experiencing some odd behavior when burning CDs. I am running Sid with a Debian 2.4.20 kernel (with the nVidia AGPGART patch). I always burn the CDs from the command line with cdrecord. Every so often the machine hangs during the burn process. I have tried bruning from a gnome- terminal and from the text console. Sometimes a whole disc will burn OK, other times at will hang. The CD-RW drive is a Lite-On that I bought a few months ago and installed in my firewall box (a Pentium Pro 200). It always burned without a problem in the old mahcine. Now, for some reason this has started happening. I should also note that I have switched over to RH whenever I need to burn a CD, as I don't have the problem there (RH 9, 2.4.20-8 precompiled kernel).

The exim3 FAQ says:
Q0326: What I'd like to do is have alternative smarthosts, where the one
to be used is determined by which ISP I'm connected to.
A0326: The simplest way to do this is to use a lookup in a domainlist
router. For example:
smarthost:
driver = domainlist
transport = remote_smtp
route_list = * ${lookup{smart}lsearch{/etc/smarthost}{$value}} byname
where you arrange for the name (or IP address) of the relevant smart
host to be placed in /etc/smarthost when you connect, in the form
smart: smart.host.name.or.ip
By keeping the data out of the main configuration file, you avoid having
to HUP the daemon when it changes.

http://www.fefe.de/muttfaq/faq.html#SMTP says:
How can I make Mutt use a SMTP server to send email, like Pine or
[insert favourite Windows-based email client here]?
answer from Mikko Hänninen
You can't. Mutt is a MUA (Mail User Agent), not a MTA (Mail Transport
Agent). Other email programs include MTA functionality but the Mutt way
is to use the proper tool for each task, instead of making a giant
program that does everything. In short, it's not Mutt's job to get the
mail to a remote SMTP server.
If your system does not have a properly configured MTA such as sendmail
for Mutt to use, and you only need one to send all emails to a remote
SMTP server for further delivery, then you can get sSMTP from
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/mail/mta/ and install that. sSMTP
is easy to set up but very minimalistic, so you might want to check out
nullmailer at http://www.em.ca/~bruceg/nullmailer/ instead. nullmailer
can queue mails when the smarthost is down and then send them when it's
up again.
Other MTAs and alternatives to sendmail are also listed in the Other
Programs section on the Mutt Links page at
http://www.mutt.org/links.html.
So long

Unfortunately, though, in this case relatedness is not the same thing as ancestry - one of the possible histories here is that SCO stole code from GPLed code bases, not the reverse. In that case relatedness is high, but directionality is the other way. ap -- Andrew J Perrin - http://www.unc.edu/~aperrin Assistant Professor of Sociology, U of North Carolina, Chapel Hill [EMAIL PROTECTED] * andrew_perrin (at) unc.edu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Cool, thanks for the info.
I still think it would take me less time to add SMTP support to mutt,
than to get exim working properly. If I do it properly I might even
package it as a debian package. Maybe call it SMTP mutt or Smutt for
short :)

(everything else is 0).
As a last solution, I'd cron a script as root to renice automatically,

somewhat off topic: ethernet card problem
I guessing my eth card is dead but hoping ;). Sony's support team are
useless and incompetent so I don't bother (tried to contact them on
other problems but they were never able to give anything else then the
template answear).
My eth card stop functioning. Its a realtech 8139 compatible onboard
card on a sony vaio pcg fxa53 (amd athelon 1500+).
when I load the 8139too module the card is recognized properly, I can
configure the ip, ping my self (I know that this short circuits at the
kernel level and thus never reaches the hardware) and try to ping
outside. Depending on what card is on the other side it sometimes
manages to sinc and sometimes not, if it does, it takes a long time and
looking at the tcp dumps for the pings shows that it keeps sending arp
requests and doesn't get any reply.
Trying to look at the registers shows that its stuck on 10mbs half
duplex mode, and the irq count is rising in results to the ping
requests.
I am guessing (or at list hoping) that I need a firmware overwrite and
was wondering if anyone knows how to do this.
Its worth to mention that it is also doesn't function under windows but
I don't know how to get all the output there.
If anyone has any ideas for solving the problem or where better to look
for a solution I'll be grateful.

Do you, in fact, have a CVS pserver set up? In my experience, the far more common way is to do CVS-over-ssh: CVS_RSH=ssh CVSROOT=cvs.example.com:/usr/local/cvsroot export CVS_RSH CVSROOT cvs checkout myproject This requires remote login ability on cvs.example.com, and that the repository in fact be rooted in /usr/local/cvsroot there; substitute appropriately in the above recipe. You could use 'cvs -d' instead of setting CVSROOT, but you do need to set CVS_RSH in the environment regardless. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.

To set a default nice value for a process, the only way I can think of would be to create a shell script or alias to start the process. -- Stephen Patterson http://www.lexx.uklinux.net http://patter.mine.nu [EMAIL PROTECTED] remove SPAM to reply Linux Counter No: 142831 GPG Public key: 252B8B37 Last one down the pub's an MCSE -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
