Re: Howto change default keymap
Thanks a lot, I will give it a try. It seems not so easy (as it could be) to accomplish this. Yours --Marcus On Tue, Mar 27, 2001 at 02:05:20PM -0800, Karsten M.

fetchmail in unstable
Hi, I'm having trouble with fetchmail in unstable. The new policy starts fetchmail at boot time. The problem is I don't know howto tell fetchmail that it should wait until the interface it listens on is *really* active. Currently I use these options. interface ippp0/127.0.0.1/0.0.0.0 When my link comes up it changes the ip to something other. And this is never the same. Since ipppd is running all the time, the interface never disappears and so fetchmail still tries to access it. Do I want to use the monitor option? Marcus -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antbear.org

This scripts runs after the link is up, it run the scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d and has the assigned IP transfered to them. You can use update-rc.d in order not to have fetchmail started at boot time. What is the monitor option? 1) Ok, this is what I did before the new fetchmail policy (starting at boot time) came up. I think I will insert fetchmail -q anywhere in my ip-up.d script. I thought I will give it at try but it seems that there is no easy solution. Maybe the fetchmail maintainer intended it for simple ppp devices that get deleted when the ppp link goes down. Of course this does not work for me, since my IPPP device hangs around the whole time (at boot time). 2) The monitor option lets you monitor an interface for activity to prevent fetchmail keeping an link open the whole time. I don't think that this is useful for me. Thanks a lot. -- Marcus -- Shaul Karl [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.antbear.org
Re: Making root run fetchmail as a user?
Why don't you try: su user -c cd ~ fetchmail --any-options-come-here in your scripts? --Marcus On Mon, Mar 26, 2001 at 10:45:44PM +1000, Mark Devin wrote: I would like to make fetchmail run as a user rather than root when run via my /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/fetchmail-up script Here is what I tried to do to get fetchmail to run as user mail: Make a home directory for user mail - /home/mail set the owner and group for this directory to mail chown mail /usr/bin/fetchmail chgrp mail /usr/bin/fetchmail chmod 4755 /usr/bin/fetchmail This makes the binary run as user mail despite who calls it (including root) create a .fetchmailrc file in the home directory of user mail Edit the /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/fetchmail-up script Edit the /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/fetchmail-down script This didn't work. I also tried calling fetchmail with the --fetchmailrc and --idfile options set appropriately. And this didn't work either. I wanted to do it this way 'cause I thought it would be more secure - ie less things running as root the better. But I guess its not possible to be cracked via fetchmail since it doesn't accept connections, it makes them itself. Any ideas 'cause it would be useful to know how to do it anyway. Regards.

Disableling unsecure services ?
Hi, I tried to disable all 'unsecure' network-services on my machine. I started with commenting out the rpc-based entries in /etc/inetd.conf. But when I'am doing a netstat -a, it seems that those services still are hanging around listening. Ok I cannot start any of those services (tried it with e.g. rsh). Is this normal Or should I do something completly different ? In my local network I want telnet. And 'normal' I want: ssh, smtp, nntp, talk. How can this be done ?

diald and pon
I'm trying to get diald running. The diald example configuration comes with a connect script. But isn't it a better idea to use pon as the program to establish a connection from within diald ? Does this work ? And when how ? Also can't the ip-up scripts shared between diald and pon.. ? This would save some redundancys. Marcus

Yes. The Shell mode is quite simple, it does not provide any terminal capacities. XEmacs sets the TERM variable to emacs, so you should make special features such as colored ls output dependend on the terminal variable.
