[expert] Postfix and "lookup failure"
I set up postfix, and when I try to send mail to a user on the system, Postfix responds with 451 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Temporary lookup failure and in /var/log/mail/warnings it says warning: cannot access UNIX password database: No such file or directory which doesn't make sense.

[expert] sblive problem
Hi I use v9.1 and I do have a problem with the sound the rest is ok (dc265, scanner, Zaurus, Nvidia). In kde, if I select Alsa within the sound server I cannot adjust the level with kmix, some controls do work ((wav setting) and (bass/trebble are on max but not enable, if I adjust them they become enable) , but the master volume does not work. If I select Oss the control in kmix works, but bass/treble and other are gone. My config P4, Abit BE7-raid (onboard sound disable), SBLive 5.1 (I've tried with a SBLive, same problem).

[expert] Configuring apcupsd
It is forecast that the UK will have considerable power outages this winter, so I'm trying to get my ancient APC Backups to autoshutdown, in case I'm not around to catch it. Up to now it has just held the system going long enough for me to shutdown, but that's too risky if power cuts can be any time. So - I've installed apcupsd. I've gone through the conf file, and checked what I can, but the serial cable I had supplied with this unit doesn't indicate type at all. The documentation says that you can run apctest to check it. I can't find apctest, and it doesn't appear on either my installed list or installable list. I know that some of you run apcupsd, so do you have the test program, and if so, how did you find it?
