Re: [gentoo-user] Getting Mail
Thanks to Christopher and Corrado, both links qre quite helpful, I already had a look at the one Christopher mentioned though only quickly as it seemed mostly about sendmail and I was quite sure to go into the direction of postfix. The one Corrado mentioned I didn't find before, but it looks promising. Anyhow, with a littel try and error I got so far that postfix passes the messages on and procmail sorts them all into the Maildir for the user (only tried it with one user yet.

It generated much smaller executables than gcc ever hopes to... sometimes ICC even made faster executables than gcc... but it wasn't really worth the aggravation getting ICC to fit into the linux platform. There is no total, painless conversion to ICC that I know of. I was never able to get a kernel compiled with it... If someone was to write a seamless wrapper for it, that translated gcc commands to icc ones, there may still be a legitimate use for ICC on linux. Until then, it's a curiosity. Most packages only need minor tweaking to get icc working. While testing out compilers for a work project I've found icc to use approximately 30-35% of the time gcc need to compile c++ sources, so we're definitely going to stick with it here. Most options map directly, Intel have done a lot of work to make it easy prefering icc over gcc. There's still a few tweaks that need to be done in some sources (like e.g. gcc's hton* macros), but these shouldn't be hard to incorporate in a general way. Intel has published a paper on gcc compatibility, and they plan on making icc even more compatible with gcc. They also made a 2.4.something kernel compile on icc, with a few patches for kernel code using gcc-specific features. A quick grep of /usr/portage shows less than 10 ebuilds currently honoring USE=icc. I just wish more ebuild developers would add icc awareness, allowing us who prefer the faster compile to have the choice ;) And, I'll ofcourse be very willing to start submitting patches for this myself, if it will be used at all.

1) Manually, while the X is running: ctrl-alt-+ or ctrl-alt- - 2) Permanent: locate Section Screen for your video at /etc/X11/XF86Config. Check what is your default color depth: there is a line saying DefaultDepth 24 or whatever. Locate the matching SubSection Display for that color depth. There you see the Modes line. They form the circular queue of resolution modes, which you can switch with Ctrl-Alt-+. The default one is the first one. Move the one you want to be default to the head of the queue.

MySQL is the fastest of all SQL servers I've seen. It's easy to administer (it's users database and access settings are saved in the SQL tables, so you can remotely administer it from any GUI if you wish). It has great set of third-party graphic GUIs available from the internet. It's so wide-spread that some applications require it -- notably, in my case, the php-based forums, like phpBB or invision. It has some serious limitation: the stable versions, AFAIK, lack stored procedures, making him unusable for really serious databases. And one more thing that bothers me: it's SQL language is somehow defective: for example, it lacks sub-queries, like select f1 from t1 where f2 in (select ). If I'm wrong, I'll be happy to be corrected. NIS has a huge security breach, allowing the intruder to obtain the user root shell. Make sure that the whole system is behind the firewall, filtering outside connections to port 9000 (as far as I remember). Once again, I'll be happy to be corrected.

Thanks Alb -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list You have the choice of 2 ways. As I remember from seeing your XF86Config, you have several resolutions contained in the config. To simply switch among them, you can press the key combination control alt and the + or _ keys on the number pad.(note that the plus and minus keys on the main keyboard will not work. This will give you the next resolution in your list from XF86Config. You will see that you get a virtual desktop showing only the section of your default desktop that can be painted at the new resolution. Moving your mouse to the edges of the screen will move about the rest of the desktop. The above solution is a bit awkward in my opinion. a better way would be to edit your XF86Config and remove the 1600x1200 from the list. Be very careful to not change the format. Mind that you have quotes and spaces in the right places and you should be good to go. There is another solution I would play with if I were you. Assuming you're using KDE as your desktop/window manager, you can alter the size of fonts and icons so that you can read them without sacrificing your high resolution. I'm running a resolution of 1920x1440 and my icons and fonts are perfectly readable to my 54 year old eyes. For your icons, go to the start applications settings controlcenter. on the index tab, open the appearance and themes list and select Icons. You can change icon size under the advanced tab. Right above Icons in the index list is fonts Play around there to set fonts to a useable size. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] Drive Icons on KDE Desktop

i am having difficulty with my ps/2 mouse recently. it is very jittery, and gravitates to the lower LHC of my screen. this has only changed in the past couple of weeks, but i can't seem to find out what the problem is. the machine is a dual-boot, and the mouse works fine under win98 (when has ANYthing worked fine under win98??), so i don't think it's a hw issue. i can cat /dev/mouse as root and see input... any other ideas on things to check? i haven't messed with the XF86Config or anything lately either. -sb -- (o_ seife //\ at comcast V_/_ dot net y'all -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
[gentoo-user] virtual users for qmail

Re: [gentoo-user] virtual users for qmail
Hi, And: I *need* a webfrontend to manage users (no webmail; just to add, edit and delete users and their email addresses). I use qmail+vpopmail+qmailadmin+sqwebmail. I only support dozens rather than hundreds of users, but I've never seen the load go above 0.1 on a 1GHz/128MB RAM. qmailadmin will do what you wanted, plus will give you good mailing list and mail quota support. vpopmail can also use MySQL as a backend, which also works well if you need to tie the authentication in to other systems. Basically, full instructions can be found on www.inter7.com. Start installing qmail as per life with qmail, then switch over to inter7's instructions once the basic setup is done.

It provides a checkpassword replacement for qmail-pop3 and a auth plugin for courier-imap. There is also another patch that moves all the control files into the ldap so you don't have to actually login to the box to add domains as you can just put them into the ldap control structure and they are picked-up on the fly (I think). | And: I *need* a webfrontend to manage users (no webmail; just to add, | edit and delete users and their email addresses). | There are a couple options for this. 1) You can use any basic web-ldap app and modify/add users on the fly 2) There is a specialized web frontend for the qmail-ldap schema available here ttp://phpqladmin.bayour.com/. I personally use the phpqladmin it's quite slick. I'm using a older version cause my LDAP schema doesn't match up with the current phpqladmin layout. But either way it works quite well. Also if you do need webmail at anytime it integrates quite well with the sqwebmail authdaemon-ldap for authentication, also it'll work with any IMAP webmail. | Has somebody experience with this config?

There are a few things that caused problems every once and a while but that is due to the fact that it's now relying on the LDAP server being up and fast. As an example for a while logins/deliveries where taking a long time, it turned out that indexing the LDAP server caused a 10 fold increase in speed. - --Mike -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQE/AG35w+I3MvUBM6QRAl+jAJ9lpzVbhCSfAqFNPBvMU6RGsX725ACdHqNy jaTmG99hvZm9ISJl8UTWnMM= =tOXB -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

You will want to either change your XF86Config, as others have suggested, or look into using the Xrandr extension in Xfree-4.3.0 if you wish to resize your screen on the fly. Here is a posting on kde news about xrandr support. It tells you the cvs module as well i belive. Overall KDE support for xrandr, as well as support in other WM and programs genererally, may need some work before it is flawless. http://dot.kde.org/1035037248/1035080967/ Another xrandr interface is `xrandr`, included with X. to get yourself familiar with it, type: `man xrandr` Then, to get a list of supported modes on your particular devices, type `xrandr -q` Now you have a pretty list of display resolutions and refresh rates. Pick the one that you wish to use, and note the size number (the number at the beginning of the line). `xrandr -s #` where # is the size number. There are a couple of notes here: xrandr is still new. There are some issues with it still. For example, if support isnt there, your panels might not resize (not sure how far along kde support for the extension is). Also, depending on your window manager, some programs may be thrown off the screen (actually, they dont move at all, your screen is just smaller).

I deleted in local .vi* files but still gives the error. Is the file missing from the package? As someone else has already said, it's not in the vim 6.2 package. The reason it's looking for the file is in your VIMRUNTIME environment variable, which presumably still contains '/usr/share/vim/vim61'. Just do 'export VIMRUNTIME=/usr/share/vim/vim62' if you're using bash, or 'setenv VIMRUNTIME /usr/share/vim/vim62' for csh/tcsh, and that should get rid of the error for now. Actually, getting rid of the VIMRUNTIME variable altogether also works; 'export -n VIMRUNTIME' for bash and 'unsetenv VIMRUNTIME' for csh/tcsh. I suspect (from a comment in the Changelog under vim-6.1-r3) that it was set for vim 6.1 because of a flaw in the way Makefiles were done; since that flaw has since been corrected, the /etc/env.d/40vim file that was created back then to set the variable has since been removed.
