Also 'man perlre' for using regular expressions in a perl script. But regardless of what tool you use (grep, sed, perl, etc), learning regular expressions is definately something you want to do.

Re: [gentoo-user] Switching to and from Dvorak keymap?
At 29 August, 2003 Adam Scriven wrote: Hey all. I've been thinking recently about the Dvorak keyboard layout, and I thought I'd set it up to test on my system. I'm not sure, however, to go about doing that exactly. Are there any FM's I should R? I'd prefer, at least for now, if it was just a per-user thing, and switchable at that, so I can switch back to Sholes (I think that's how it's spellt, QWERTY basically) if I don't want to use it anymore. Well, as long as you use X for most of your work, you could look into doing it with xmodmap. A good tool for editing your layout -- although I would assume there's already a Dvorak layout out there -- is xkeycaps (in portage). The syntax is pretty straightforward. After you've got the file prepared, you can load it in your .xinitrc, or, if you use GNOME (as I do), you can set it as a manual startup item (as I do). I still use QWERTY, but I remap some keys, like CapsLock (which I turn into a fifth modifier used for diacritical characters.) If anyone's interested in my .xmodmap, I can send that out for your perusal. If you like your console too, then you'd probably have to mess around with consolekeys. However, I think there's already a Dvorak layout available for that -- though I don't know how you'd set that to load at login and unload on logout. Loading at login could be done with your .${SHELL}rc, but I don't know how you'd go about resetting it. I would imagine that typing your name/password in QWERTY and everything else in Dvorak would be confusing, though. If so, you probably want to look at the keyboard stuff in /etc/rc.conf and set the console to always use it there. Making xdm (gdm, kdm, ...) use a custom xmodmap is left as an exercise to the reader ;-) -- Andrew Farmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

[gentoo-user] imap-pop3 not working
hi fellows, I read the document of virtual mail (or something like that... sorry I don't remember the name), and I made all the steps and again, because is not working; maybe I'm a little confused, but postfix it's working good, I'm receiving mails and sending the mails of virtual hosts fine, but I can't login to imap/pop3; I have to use pop3 because it seem the firewall of the school don't make me access to the port of imap; I have tried to login with telnet, with the password in the clear field of mysql; but I can't login, imap don't say anything, just close the connection; pop3 says can't login; what do you think this could be, and last; this is surely a config that I haven't reached, but how could I configure squirrelmail to manage the local user accounts? (I haven't check a lot but it seem to be working the local mail accounts), and could I use squirremail to manage multiple domains, I think the answer is yes... but how.

[gentoo-user] Can't emerge snort - maybe missing dependency
Hi all, I'm using Gentoo for a couple of days, like it very much, that's my first source-based distro. Tried to emerge snort and it gave me an error, saying 'missing libnet.h' ... but doesn't began to emerge 'libnet'. So I emerged libnet myself, but the error was still there. Then remembered that 1 day before this 'snort-emerge', after running 'emerge sync' emerge -u /world or system/ I got updated versions of libnet, db3, rsync etc.. Today after emerging new mozilla ... -r3 there was some text saying to remove the old version so the system could find it's libraries if linking other programs wich have some mozilla dependencies. Later I checked with qpkg etcat to see what versions and slots are there. In etcat output where were some colored texts and a letter M in [] brackets and the above mentioned information. Does somebody have an idea if I should remove the previous versions of libnet and mozilla or not. Thanks in advance. Rumen. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

However, the whitespace at the beginning of multiline headers is being truncated so formail cannot interpret the mail correctly. The only references to whitespace are with regard to IFS but that doesn't seem to have any effect. Is there any other way to turn off this behaviour? I'm sorry to say, but I think you might have just exceeded the capabilities of bash. You can play around with stuff, but it looks like bash likes to ditch leading spaces. I think you need to crack open the perl man pages or possibly go to temp files from within procmail.

Re: [gentoo-user] imap-pop3 not working

(I haven't check a lot but it seem to be working the local mail accounts), and could I use squirremail to manage multiple domains, I think the answer is yes... but how. First off, why not use pop3s and imaps? I doubt they firewall those. They probably don't even know what they are. As far as login to pop/imap, if you're using virtual hosts, then I assume they don't have real accounts on the system. I'm also assuming from what you wrote that the accounts are stored in mysql. So, you need to be able to authenticate off a mysql database. You also need to learn about PAM (Pluggable Authentication Modules). First, do a google search for Linux PAM (the first result will be the PAM homepage, which I can never remember). Also look at /etc/pam.d/. You'll be interested in imap and pop, of course. And you'll also want to emerge pam-mysql. Follow various instructions, and set it up. I'm assuming you want to replace unix authentication with mysql authentication (more secure, although not useful if you are not in the mysql database). These are very rough basics with not much actual detail, but I'll be happy to answer further questions. As far as using squirrelmail to manage multiple domains, probably. You should go to squirrelmail's homepage and look at the available plugins. -- Caution: Product will be hot after heating -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
