I have a HP DeskJet 890c which has worked well for me. Believe the they just brought out a new model in that seria - 895. Be careful with the HP printers as some are so called "windows printers" which are parcially supported up from not supported (hope that's a fair statement). The important thing is what ghostscript supports (`gs --help`). I found the driver `hpdj' to work well (and it covers most if not all non-windows HP DeskJets).

By virtue of being a crash, last will not show you when your machine crashed but only when rebooted (started). In which case 1701 might be around the time when you would be firing up your box again (there is 60 seconds of opportunity ;-) )? Are you using a recent stable kernel (2.2.x)? Check your syslog file to see what your machine was doing just before it crashes (it might not show the last stuff as it might not have been committed to disk). When did this behavior start?

There's no way around specifying your local acconuts as you have to tell your mta that it's only authorative for a set of accounts.

You were not really specific in what you wanted to do, so I assume that you have an mta and you want everything moved to a new mta: Setup mail.new server to access mail for your domain. Change MX record to point to mail.new config on mail.orig. Change config on mail.orig to not accept mail for your domain. Old mail you either move (rcp/scp) or redeliver using something like formail. There are other scenarios, say, if you use fetchmail to obtain your mail, if you want your mail server to act as a gateway to your new mail server etc. /Allan -- Allan M.

I switched to -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso10646-1 and unchecked the "Enable multibyte support" in gnome-terminal which gave me back the missing non-ascii chars but the threaded overview is still somewhat broke.

No, but it would either be something running when you are shutting down your system (ps should tell which processes you have running), being executed by init as part of shutdown or startup (timestamp of the file would be able to tell you which). You could then manually try to start or stop the services (binary search) or string the (binaries) involved to see if any haev a "errs" in them. Or even better, check if someone else have already seen the problem, a quick usenet search revealed: http://groups.google.com/groups?q=/errs&hl=en&rnum=3&selm=997463277.452.52.camel%40work /Allan -- Allan M.

If you deliver mail in maildir format (procmail can), you can (easily) use standard unix tools to manipulate your mail. Another option would be to rework your procmail filters to include filtering by age and post-process your mbox files via formail. /Allan -- Allan M. Wind email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] P.O.

There should of course have been '-print0' and you don't really need
the -type f as you would have files in the cur directory.

Depends on the above, if unset, fetchmail will deliver it to port 25 and as you have postfix running there, it will deliver it to whatever mailbox_command in main.cf is set to (you probably want it to say /usr/bin/procmail -a "$EXTENSION"). If unset, postfix will use internal delivery agent, but either would use .forward file. > Also, I believe that mutt passes of messages to the local delivery agent > (postfix) to be dealt with and sent at it's leasure. Is this correct? mutt sends mail via the program defined as "sendmail" in .muttrc which is most likely the sendmail program that postfix provides. You could configure mutt to use something like ssmtp which is a mail user agent. This might be useful to you: file:///usr/doc/postfix/html/big-picture.html > If both of those are right, is it true that both incoming and outgoing > mail go through postfix at some point?

Quite ridiculous if you ask > me. Strange... * check if there is anything in your bios that could cause this * check your modem configuration to see if it has any option that might cause this (call back, wake up on call etc). * check your box to see which processes are using /dev/ttyS0 (or whatever device your modem is connected to). lsof or fuser might came handy. Check what is running during shutdown to see if it may cause something wierd (/init.d/rc0.d and /init.d/ rc6.d for halt and reboot respectively)... pay especial attention to setserial. IRQ conflicts (/proc/interrupts)? It would help if you could identify exactly where in the shutdown sequence this happens. E.g. if you watch your first console, you will see daemons shutdown, is it before/after a particular daemon or, say, when power is actually cut? /Allan -- Allan M. Wind P.O.

Check your manual or manufactors web site. Nothing else looked interesting in rc0.d or rc6.d, right?
