I agree to that. Not everyone should use a private mailserver. Hobbyists and Freaks should not run such service, it's a job for professionals, and those have a static ip. I'm really tired of writing a lot in mailinglists an get lots of "You mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] could not be delivered..."

Copy all desktop settings for a new user
Hello, lets say I have a few users (not all of them with prior GNU/Linux experiance) and I want to setup a common profile for their accounts. By profile I mean things like desktop-icons, desktop-theme, menues, MUA-settings, browser-settings, printer ... The users will most likely either use KDE or Gnome and applications like Firebird, Thunderbird and OpenOffice. I would like to create a role-account, configure everything for this account and copy all those settings everytime a new user is created. I know about /etc/skel but I am not sure if it's possible to use this because some paths are absolute in configuration files. I am sure somebody must have a solution for this.

Workbone - With Volume Control - How To Install?
i just tried out the workbone CD player that is installable via apt-get. It's a decent console- based player, except for one problem. It has no volume control. Anyway, I did a bit of snooping around and came across this: http://www.eleves.ens.fr/home/derouler/info/workbone/index.html.en That is the same player, but with the + and - keys set to provide volume control. I downloaded it and uncompressed it, but now, how do I actually install it? The files that are now sitting in my home directory after uncompressing the tgz file are: hardware.c workbone workbone.h struct.h workbone.c So, what does I have to do with these to get a working player?

Recommendations: - Usenet. Browse topics and pull selected bodies. - Procmail forward. Retrieve the list to another system, and set up a procmail (or other mail filtering) ruleset which selects messages to forward by author, subject, or keywords, possibly using scoring rules. - Remote mail: Sounds like you tried offlineimap and didn't like it, but it or an ssh session to the system your mail lives on might work. - RSS feed. Posibly customized. Generate a feed with a digest of subject, author, and a brief abstract of (possibly: selected) messages. Review this and pull bodies from a mail=>web interface of some sort. Probably requires some engineering work on your part, but could be really useful. Peace. -- Karsten M.

Noted.
Interesting to note that I'm pegged as both curt and lecturing in
subsequent breaths...
At times, I'm replying to posts either:
- In threads in which there have been no responses (I do try to hunt
and shoot these where I can provide an answer, or at least a hint).
Sometimes these are unanswered due to vagueness, oft-repeatedness,
or other mildly frustrating aspects of posts. I try to hold myself
to being curt, rather than openly rude, in the face of what appears
to be mere ineptitude or unconscious laziness. That's a policy which
changes in the face of open rudeness, inconsideration, or hostility
from someone. I'll suck it in for a while. I won't soak it up
indefinitely.
- In threads in which responses have steered consistently wide of the
mark. People who (should) know better posting hearsay,
unresearched, or simply wrong information rankle. I participate in
lists as much to learn as to teach, whether it's by looking up
information, or by being corrected. I generally try to indicate
where my own education is shaky. Pointing people on wild goose
hunts is a disservice. And while I don't want to intimidate people
into not posting: if you _aren't_ sure of yourself, or don't feel
you can contribute positively and meaningfully, either educate
yourself on the topic to the point that you can, post a bit of
minimal guidance to a better resource, or sit tight.
If the confusion's excusable (information has recently changed, is
obscure, not readily obtainable, authorities differ, etc), I'll try
to be gentle. Where someone's clearly talking out their nether
parts, I'll shoot for slightly more firm.
Curtness is generally reflecting a certain belief in "clues for the
clueful". Those interested in the other side of this coin might look at
the corresponding factoid on #debian.
While I try to keep my own affairs out of my list involvement, there
are better and worse days for everyone, and my tone will at times
reflect this.
Passive voice can be taken as imbuing a certain detached authority,
granted. I generally shoot for this when discussing something for which
there's, if not widespread acceptance, at least a well-established
rationale. While acknowledging differences of opinion, I don't care
for the false "two sides to every debate" mindset either: "Earth round?
Views Differ".
Incidentally -- neither "deprecate" nor "incorrect" features highly in
my recent d-u posts. There's also a school of use in which the passive
voice is used to convey a certain bit of indirect, and occasional humor
appreciated by some. IBM's legal team appears to have adopted a similar
expository style

Several of those are abstracted from posts written in fits of high
dudgeon, and reflect this Many are / have been / will be
subsequently modified.
I _do_ try to keep, where possible, a reasonably neutral tone, though
this isn't always attained.
Among the objectives of the rant-o-matic:
- Readily accessible, frequently repeated, texts. Things you want at
your fingertips to answer frequently recurring issues / questions /
topics.
- Improvable process. I've modified var

Re: [OT] C programming, variable size array
What the? How did that end up getting sent to this group? Anyways, please disregard that message, as It is obviously just a screw up on my part during my attempts to get outbound email working properly.

What does "lspci" report about your sound card?
Also, it might be good to know what kernel version you have ("uname -a").

Re: My Debian box can't connect Internet
Dear Stephen, You didn't say what kind of broadband you want to connect to. There would be a difference between adsl and cable, as well as pppoe and adsl with a fixed address. I'm not an expert, but I just yesterday connect to adsl (using pppoe). If that describes your situation, try running "pppoeconf" - it's fairly intuitive and it worked well for me. As for using "ping", I understand that many web sites are blocking the ping command (or am I wrong about this?). I'm using Guarddog as a firewall, and I've also got ping blocked. regards, Robert On Sat, 13 Dec 2003 00:29:33 +0800 Stephen Liu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi folks, > > My Debian box can't connect Internet, Broadband connected. > > # ifconfig > showed connecting ISP > > I played around with following files without a solution; > > # cat /etc/network/ifstate > lo=lo > eth0=eth0 > > # cat /etc/network/interfaces > # /etc/network/interfaces -- configuration > file for ifup(8), ifdown(8) > # The loopback interface > auto lo > iface lo inet loopback > # The first network card - this entry was created during the Debian > installationauto eth0 > iface eth0 inet dhcp > > # cat /etc/network/spoof-protect > LOCAL_IPS="127.0.0.1/8" > LOCAL_IFACES="eth0 eth1 ppp0" > (Remark: having tried; > #LOCAL_IPS="127.0.0.1/8" > #LOCAL_IFACES="eth0 eth1 ppp0" > LOCAL_IFACES="eth0 ppp0" > > After each change made > # /etc/init.d/networking restart > Reconfiguring network interfaces: done) > > # cat /etc/network/interfaces.dpkg-new > # (no output, an empty file) > > # cat /etc/network/options > ip_forward=no > spoofprotect=yes > syncookies=no > (having tried; > ip_forward=yes > spoofprotect=no > syncookies=yes) > > # ping -c 3 www.yahoo.com > ping: unknown host www.yahoo.com > > # /etc/init.d/iptables stop > Aborting iptables load: unknown ruleset, "inactive". > > iptables has not been configured yet > > Kindly advise how to fix the problem. > > Thanks in advance. > > B.R. > Stephen Liu > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
