http proxy with anti-virus
Hi A client of mine wants opensource proxy server with anti-virus capabilities. can anyone recomend such a product? it's a small company (less then 40 users) so the load shouldn't be high. I found some products through google (a patch to dansguardian, HAVP) but they are not in the debian repositories (which I prefer because I don't want to manage security updates myself), and I don't have idea about how they perform. any suggestions?

mail server replacement for qmail/vpopmail
Hi I'm trying to find replacement for qmail/vpopmail (that is, mail server with virtual domains and non-system users). the reason I'm doing that is that I'm installing many servers with this configuration, and doing it from source is a lot of work (installing and searching for security updates). I want to do it with the packages that comes with sarge. I thought of using postfix with courier or cyrus. the cyrus package is still at version 2.1 which doesn't support virtual domains (or does it?), so I'm left with courier. I read a lot of howto's but I can't find a solution to this problem: some users need server side filtering (e.g. 'mailfilter' file in the virtual users directory). in qmail/vpopmail I just put a line in the .qmail file under the users directory. how do I do that in postfix/courier? also, does anyone has a suggestion for a different setup (SMTP, IMAP, spamassassin)? thanx -- Haim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

why wxwindows applications doesn't use gtk2?
Hi Someone wanted me to install FreeBSD for him, so I played a little with it, and found that when I compile application that use wxwindows it uses gtk2 instead of gtk1. until now I was sure that that's what wxwindows uses (gtk1.x).

I've also noticed that when I send signed email to mailing list (which returns to me), I can see and verify the signature. looking at the source of this message (compared to signed message I got from CERT) it seems that there is a line that handles mime: Content-Type: multipart/signed; which doesn't exist in the emails I get from CERT. ...

I originaly thought about bying radeon (9500, or 9700) but when I've searched the mailing list I saw there were a lot of problems with the ATI drivers too, so I've decided to stick with nvidia (known evil against new evil...)

I use 'kavi2svcd' to deal with the mpeg creation (afaik there isn't a deb for it) and k3b for burning the mpeg.

Hi from shadow man page: NAME shadow - encrypted password file DESCRIPTION shadow contains the encrypted password information for user's accounts and optional the password aging information. Included is Login name Encrypted password Days since Jan 1, 1970 that password was last changed Days before password may be changed Days after which password must be changed Days before password is to expire that user is warned Days after password expires that account is disabled Days since Jan 1, 1970 that account is disabled A reserved field --- I guess you can get it with 'cut' command. something like: TIME=`grep /etc/shadow | cut -d":" -f 5` echo "your password will expire in $TIME days" the problem is that you can run this commands only as root (users don't have read permissions on shadow file), so you can redirect it to their mails.

ok, from the answers I've got and from searching on the web a little more, it looks like there are problems with the drivers supplies by ATI.

AFAIK the default woody kernel doesn't use initrd. if you need one for some reason (or you want to compile a new kernel with initrd) you have to run 'mkinitrd' and add an entry in lilo.conf. remember though that once you've added an initrd entry, you cannot boot from a kernel without one.

OT: c++ reference documentations
Hi I've just picked up a c++ book and started to learn (I only have experience in perl). I was wondering if there are info/man pages (or any other electronic documentation) that I can use as a reference (at least for the standard library). if I want for example to find the syntax of "string.rfind..." I have to go back to the book. I've tried the libstdc++ html docs, but I coudn't find a syntax reference there, also I couldn't find a complete set of man/info pages to show that (there are some man pages but not to all functions). am I missing something?

Advanced routing question
Hi I'm trying to combine 2 linux firewalls/routers together. the final host should have the following ports: 1. eth0 - 256kbps frame relay. 2. ppp0 (via eth1) - pppoe adsl with dhcp. 3. eth2-3 - 2 DMZ's. 4. eth4 - localnet. The default route is ppp0. Here's the problem: If I'll connect to the firewall from the internet through eth0 (or even connect to the dmz through the firewall's eth0) wouldn't it try to respond through ppp0 (the default gateway) which will make the connection impossible?

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. I guess you also don't have a constant IP. you should probably also configure exim to send all your messages through your ISP's smtp server. some hosts don't accept mail from dialup IP's.

I don't use webmin anymore, but when I did, I've always downloaded the one
from "www.webmin.com". don't use the one that comes with debian. before you
install it, make sure to delete the '/etc/webmin' folder if you have one,
also check that there aren't any instances of webmin loading on boot ('ls
/etc/rc*.d/*webmin').

Hi
I don't know ipmasq, but you could use the output of the script as an input
for the command in the cronjob:
`yourscript`
make sure you have the right "`" (in my keyboard - us 105 keys, it's with the
"~" sign).

I thought of that but since it could grow to quite a few virtual domains with a few users on each domain, I think it's easier to stay on top of things with some database of users instead of just going through '/etc/passwd' (e.g. vpopmail has passwd file for every virtual domain...). thanx -- Haim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

This is documented in the install guide, but nearly > everyone seems to miss it :) If you don't need the midi support, emu10k1 (afaik comes in most of the 2.4.x kernels) works just fine. if you want midi support (that is hardware midi, you can always play midi emulation with timidity) you'll have to use the alsa driver. there is a nice article about alsa in debian: http://www.linuxorbit.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Sections&file=index&req=viewarticle&artid=541 As for SBLive specific alsa options you can find them in the alsa-project webpage (there is a link to that in the article). > > -- > Rob Weir <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://ertius.org/ Bye -- Haim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

module configuration
Hi I've just installed the alsa drivers for my emu10k1 SBLive card and I have 2 problems: 1. when I reboot, the system first loads the "emu10k1" kernel module before everything else so the alsa modules doesn't load. as a workaround I've renamed this module and everything works, but I wonder if there is a more elegant solution. I have no mention of emu10k1 in '/etc/modules.conf' and '/etc/modutils/*' (well. except for the alsa module). 2. In '/etc/modutils/alsa I've put this line "post-install snd-emu10k1-synth /usr/bin/sfxload /usr/local/etc/8MBGMSFX.SF2". the module loads but it doesn't run the post-install command. I have to run it manually. am I doing something wrong? thanx -- Haim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Although this is not exactly what you've asked, if you have an access to a web server (which is open to the internet) consider some bookmark managers.

apache-dev dependencies bug?
Hi I've tried to install apache-dev on woody with apt-get and I've got this error: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: apache-dev: Depends: libdb2-dev (>= 2.7.7-2.1) but it is not going to be installed A little search with apt-cache revealed that I only have libdb2-dev 2:2.7.7.0-7. I thouhgt it was an error in my cache so I searched in packages.debian.org and indeed, apache-dev depends on this version of libdb2-dev, but the version of libdb2-dev is "2:2.7.7.0-7". Am I missing something? or is it a bug (I didn't find anything in the bugs search page)? Bye -- Haim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Re: need help in installing nic drivers
>From my expreience with Dell's computers they need a special version of e1000 module. one of my clients uses only Dell computer's and they sent him a version of this module (he only uses red-hat), but I think they've also sent him the source. you can ask your dealer about that, and if he can't help let me know and I'll try to get it from him.
