Huh? Sure, using bleading edge software increses the chances of bugs, but to just blatantly state that that's the reason someone is having problems is a bit much. - -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0x5584BD98 or 'Peter Schuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' Key retrival: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://scode.infidyne.com -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE647uvwF8nUVWEvZgRAt7UAJ4/+k+0nvoVy3NL9BQlQ0OFHAF+0wCffS7x ULziRB+ZW3k/xC2/4/G4PKc= =hGNA -END PGP SIGNATURE-

If you wish to disable innd and if it's started by inetd, edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out the appropriate line. inetd is the general daemon that answers connections for a variety of services.

Well docs are at www.mutt.org, but in your case you probably want to list
your mailboxes using the "mailboxes" configuration parameter ("mailboxes box1
box2 box3 ...").
For convenience, you might also want to do:
macro index i c?\t
so that "i" will give you a list of folders.

Us the mkswap command ("man mkswap" for details) to initialize the the
partition as a swap partiation (be careful - everything there get's nuked).
Then you can use the swapon command ("man swapon") to activate it. Similary,
use swapoff to disable the old swap.
To make it permanent you'll have to modify /etc/fstab to point to the new
partition. It should be pretty obvious what to do; just change the partition
pointer on the line that mentions swap...

KMail(KDE 3.1)+GnuPG/MIME
Hello, I originally sent a query to the kmail list, but this is probably a better place to ask about this. Is there any Debianized solution for having GnuPG prompt for passphrases when used with KMail and the Aegypten plugin? I've installed the KDE 3.1 Debian package version of KMail and everything works, including most GnuPG stuff, except I can't sign/decrypt because GnuPG can't ask for my passphrase. The instructions on the Aegypten page suggests gpg-agent/pinnentry/gpgme/etc, but there doesn't seem to be Debian package for it, and I am hesitant to install source packages (due to the sprinkler effect). Any easy/debianized way of getting this functionality?

But I'd rather not resort to using the classic in-line PGP signatures. It get's in the way.

Re: KMail(KDE 3.1)+GnuPG/MIME
> install pinentry-qt from Ralf's archive. > deb http://ktown.kde.org/~nolden/kde stable main Thanks a lot! Now I just have one problem. gpg-agent seems to fail to set the GPG_AGENT_INFO environment variable. I can cut'n'paste the command it outputs to set it, and it works for regular gnupg (if I don't, it says the agent is not available due to the lack of GGP_AGENT_INFO (g10/passphrase.c)). However, if I do that before starting kmail, kmail does not seem to propagate the environment to the child process it runs gnupg in. I.e., exporting the variable manually doesn't help. Does anyone know what I should do about this?

Thanks a lot! I hadn't noticed that kmail was invoked by some other process (kdeinit?). As a result, setting the variable in the terminal prior to launching kmail doesn't help. -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' Key retrival: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org msg28336/pgp0.pgp Description: signature
