Then go and read a good book on basic shell usage, e.g., http://www.linuxcommand.org/tlcl.php which I have reviewed and would recommend to those new to Linux/Unix. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

If yes, then >I am sure that would be fine. You can use ip6tables on the firewall to restrict access to the machines on the internal network as tightly as desired. For example, you could deny everything by default, then selectively allow established connections and incoming traffic for certain protocols. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Once it is delivered to your local mail spool (by default under /var/mail) you can read it with Mutt. For even better results, use Procmail to filter the incoming mail into various folders, to perform spam filtering, to delete duplicate messages or whatever else you need, as it arrives. Some people prefer Maildrop to Procmail. They are both packaged for Debian. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bug#222216: Can't set default destination in cups
Package: cupsys Version: 1.1.20candidate6-6 Note: I experienced similar problems with version 1.1.19. I have the simplest possible cups configuration: a single printer connected via a local parallel interface. The error message is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lp lp: error - no default destination available. [EMAIL PROTECTED] lpr lpr: error - no default destination available. lp -d local-printer works correctly however. Under version 1.1.20candidate6, but not under version 1.1.19, lpadmin -d local-printer produces a correct log entry and inserts into /etc/cups/printers.conf lpoptions -d local-printer whether issued as root (creating /etc/cups/lpoptions) or as a user (~/.lpoptions) has no effect on the behaviour of either lp or lpr - I still get the "no default destination available" error unless the -d option is used. The printer is a Postscript printer, configured using lpadmin after copying the ppd file into /usr/share/cups/model. I have checked the manual pages carefully; I have tried everything I can think of but with no luck. I am starting to think there's a bug somewhere. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
