Interesting.. I have apparently mis-understood the allow-recursion

That should do it, I believe.
 

That did it. It does exactly what I want the way I wanted it.

Best tool for MIME handling in scripts?

2005-09-15 Thread Bill McGonigle

What do folks here use for massaging MIME messages in shell scripts?

For instance, the task at hand is to take incoming mail from a scanner, 
strip out the MIME attachments (PDF's), and dump them in a folder.  
There should be a tool that I can pipe the message to, specify an 
option to save, an option to specify a save location, an option to 
specify the MIME types to handle, and call it from procmail.


I've found munpack, reformime, Perl's MIMETools, but none has jumped 
out as the tool that does things The Unix Way.


Any suggestions?

MerriLUG meeting this evening!

2005-09-15 Thread Ken D'Ambrosio
Hello, all.  Here is a reminder e-mail about the meeting this evening.  As
usual, 6:00 for dinner at Martha's, and meeting to commence at 7:30
upstairs in function room.  (And, yes, the room availability is Go!) 
I've made a reservation for 15 -- but if you could RSVP so I have a decent
idea of headcount, it would be much appreciated.

We'll have Windriver (makers of VxWorks) presenting this evening about
some of their stuff, and how Linux ties in.

One thing I've noticed on-list recently is a fair number of questions
about DNS.  Is there any interest in that as a topic for an upcoming
meeting?  I believe Ben has secreted away a presentation about it -- I,
for one, would be very interested, as I'm currently using djbdns, and am
thinking about alternatives.

See you tonight!

-Ken

I recommend Perl's MIME::Tools package.  Check out the source tree's
examples subdir, there are scripts in here such as mimedump and
mimeexplode that do exactly what you are asking for.  These could
easily be called in a procmail recipe.

Re: Linux Printer from Win98 - Resolved

2005-09-15 Thread Jim Kuzdrall
The word virtually in the above worries me.  I've certainly
 burned myself with statements like that before.  :-)  But anyway...

That is why I used it.  Virtually is one of the words that has 
flip-flopped in our language.  It should mean essentially or in 
appearance, but not formally or actually.  In common usage today, it 
often means truly.  Decimate is another word I hesitate to use by its 
dictionary definition.  It means a loss of 1 in 10 but is often used to 
suggest 9 in 10.  

Try adding the following to smb.conf, in the [global] section:

No change.

 It may be that things go as
 far as Win98-Samba-CUPS and then barfs in the printer...

That put me on the right track.  Thanks!

Enabled ErrorLog /var/log/cups/error_log in cupsd.conf.
Try Win98 print again.  Got this:

Enabled mime type application/octet-stream in 
both /etc/cups/mime.types and mime.convs.

That was it!   The old virtually-the-same setup used an explicit 
(another word whose meaning has changed) print command which included 
-o raw, making the stream mime unnecessary.  Apparently, samba 2.2 
honored print command even if printcap name and printing were 
both equal to cups in smb.conf.  Not so with samba 3.0.

The mystery is solved.  The day is won.  The sun shines again.

I probably will remember that I learned something from this but 
forget what it was.

I suggest people use 'devastate' if they feel inclined to use 
'decimate' inappropriately.  I suspect a confusion there may have lead 
to inappropriate usage originally.


Some computer graphics algorithms do decimation, to slightly reduce the 
complexity of a data structure.  Sometimes you'll do a second pass if 
you need slightly more than the fist pass did.  There's not a fixed 10% 
aspect like there might have been in the Roman Army, but it does mean 
to reduce slightly.


The trouble with letting words get away is there often isn't a suitable 
replacement.

Half Dux Linksys?

2005-09-15 Thread Lawrence Tilly
Good afternoon, all.

Today I had my service swapped over from cable to DSL. When I hit
Speakeasy's speed test after the new service was setup however I got a
bit of a shock. My download speed was clocking in at only 800kbps
( upload is about 650 ). I was a bit concerned and so I
reconnected my cable modem and tried again...and got very similar
results ( 780 down and 500 up ). 

I disconnected my Linksys Firewall Router ( BESFX41 ) and went directly
against the modems. This looked much better. My upload
didn't change in either case but my download for both went up over
3k. I have a standard Linksys Router ( BEFSR41 ) here also which
I hooked up. This had almost no impact on the speeds, so it's definetly
something with the FIrewall Router.

I went thru the admin menu of the troublesome equipment and I can't
find anything that might put this thing into half duplex mode or
otherwise cripple it's performance. I have no logging enabled on
the router and no special filters running. I double-checked
Linksys site and am running the most current firmware ( dated 2004 )
and Google has not turned up any leads. I have been using this unit for
the last 2+ years and to be honest with you it has been a LONG time
since I've done a speed test, probably when I first got everything
networked up, so I couldn't say when it may have done this to me.
I know I could just put in the non-firewall in place for now but I
really don't want to give up the firewall.

Any ideas / suggestions / experience?

One correction to Bill's announcement:

 Our guest speaker this month will be our own Lloyd Kvam, who knows
 something about Functional Programming.

It's probably more accurate to same that I am interested in Functional
Programming.  I wish I *really* knew more about it.

When my linksys was finally dying, after 3+ years of constant service,
it was doing much the same... speed seemed to wind-down, and when
I hooked the ports up directly to system (including the wan port) they
were indeed all linking at half-duplex, save, I think, port 1. I
ended up retiring it. I went the geeky route with a small
multi-homed debian box and a WAP to keep the wireless, but my speed
with comcast jumped up again, then higher when I moved to Speakeasy...

just my experience
