Re: Is there a nice graphical front end available for gpg or pgp ?
> I am looking for a graphical front end for gpg and or pgp. Possibly qt or gtk > based. Is geheimnis packaged already ? Check out the GnuPG home page at http://www.gnupg.org/, it has a list of many front-ends available. Then just use the "search" function in dselect with the name of the package, if you're lucky it'll exist. Until Debian has a functionally structured package repository there isn't really a better solution. At least one of them has a Debian package (gpgp), but gpgp is ... well, just oozing with opportunities for features, shall we say. -- Sam Vilain, [EMAIL PROTECTED]WWW: http://sam.vilain.net/ GPG public key: http://sam.vilain.net/sam.asc

Thanks for that, I'm definitely closer now :-). I think I just need to get gpm to talk the equivalent of X's "MouseManPlusPS/2", like perhaps the mouse is detecting that it's being accessed in a 3 button protocol or something and translating the buttons for me. Hmm. I'll have a chat with the GPM authors directly. Cheers, -- Sam Vilain, [EMAIL PROTECTED]WWW: http://sam.vilain.net/ GPG public key: http://sam.vilain.net/sam.asc
Re: how to grep without changing timestamps?
You need to make sure that something calls utime() to reset the filestamps.
You can't reset the ctime (inode change time), but the atime (inode access
time) and the mtime (inode timestamp) are changable.
Here is a simple example Perl script that works a little like grep:
--
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my ($regexp);
$regexp = shift @ARGV;
for my $filename (@ARGV) {
my @stat = stat $filename or do {
print STDERR "stat of $filename failed; $!\n";
next;
};
open FILE, "<$filename" or do {
print STDERR ("open of $filename for reading failed; "
."$!\n");
next;
};
while () {
m/$regexp/ && print "$filename: $_";
}
close FILE;
utime @stat[8,9], $filename or
print STDERR "utime call of $filename failed; $!\n";
}
--
Cheers,
Sam.

4 Mouse buttons with gpm?
Hi, I've got a Logitech 4 button "MouseMan" (according to the label) mouse, and I can't get gpm to repeat the fourth button; it keeps being repeated as button 2. This X configuration works (sacrificing gpm, of course): [/etc/X11/XF86Config-4] Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Protocol" "MouseManPlusPS/2" Option "Device""/dev/psaux" Option "Buttons" "4" EndSection The configuration that doesn't work properly is: [/etc/gpm.conf] device=/dev/psaux responsiveness= type=imps2 append="-l \"a-zA-Z0-9_.:~/\300-\326\330-\366\370-\377\" -b 9600 -S :/etc/gpm-special/middle:/etc/gpm-special/right" repeat_type=ms3 [/etc/X11/XF86Config-4] Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Mouse" Driver "mouse" Option "CorePointer" Option "Protocol" "Intellimouse" Option "Device""/dev/gpmdata" Option "Buttons" "4" EndSection Does anyone know if this is possible? There seems to be no "-4" option to gpm (or "-5" or ...), but it says in places it does allow wheel repeating, which IIRC are just 'buttons' as well. I've tried the "mman" gpm mouse type, but it doesn't work at all. Any ideas? -- Sam Vilain, [EMAIL PROTECTED]WWW: http://sam.vilain.net/ GPG public key: http://sam.vilain.net/sam.asc
