[expert] Mandrake 6.1 & nfs lock daemon
Our aging server is running Mandrake 6.1. we've just discovered we need the package containing the nfs lock daemon. Naturally we found this out well after Mandrake stopped supporting 6.1 and took the packages down. We have the original CDs but it doesn't seem to be on them. 7.1 nfs packages aren't compatible as they changed the way nfs works between the versions. I don't suppose you have any ideas where I might find a mirror of old Mandrake stuff, do you? I'm goggling away here and not having much luck. Thanks for any help.

[expert] remote logoff
Hello Experts! Ran into a problem yesterday which I hope you can help me prevent in the future. I called in sick, and naturally a user came up with a KDE problem that required my personal attention. I stumbled blearily into the office and fixed it, but left without logging off of my workstation. Now, when my users make this faux pas they are required to pay me by buying me a drink (fortunately, my beverage of choice is Diet Coke). On the other hand, when *I* do it, I buy the office donuts. Yesterday I figured out I'd failed to log off after I got back home, but couldn't figure out how to do it remotely. My systems are available remotely via ssh. So, o great experts, is there a command that boils down to "logoff user dimwit"? Or a particular process I could kill? (pointers to man pages greedily accepted) My fellow workers are busily chowing down on my fine. Help prevent obesity! Thanks! Marsden

Basically, we need a new email client that will handle imap/ssl or apop. We have both Mandrake Linux and windoze boxes. We were discussing Eudora, but there's apparently no version of Eudora for Linux. Netscape handles imap/ssl, but I don't have the expertise to set up the system (I need to learn one hell of a lot more). Any ideas? Recommendations? Pointers? I know from zip about Opera. Where should I look for info? Thanks! Marsden

[expert] Re: CE: 810 chipset and sound
Dear Terence
Thanks again for your continued attention.
Well, well, well, you're never gonna believe this!
We got sound working on most of the Mandrake Linux boxes with this
chipset and audio controller. How did we do it? Bryan Howard editted
/etc/rc.d/init.d/sound
and
/etc/rc.d/init.d/usb
He removed all references to conf.modules and replaced them with
modules.conf
We rebooted and voila, sound!
Please, oh please, oh please make a note of this, post it in your
archives or something, for the next poor sucker who has the 810 chipset
AC '97 controller on a Mandrake Linux box.
Yours
Marsden
