Re: set default file permissions for a directory
I have to agree with Jason on both counts. I use scp on the Unix system at work and when you ar specifying where you want to transfer to you need to spefify the following: user@:/directory/on/other/machine If you don't put the users it will default to using the user you are on the local machine but will ask you for the password. If you don't transfer certain files as the correct user, then permissions are not correctly set. I would say the .profile(s) are read and used. Regards, Jeff Jason Stephenson wrote: In your first post, you said that you can set the umask to 002. Have you tried that? I'm pretty sure that even using scp actually "logs in" the user enough so that the shell environment is set up and things like the umask set in .profile or whatever for their shell is sourced and does work. At least it does seem to in my experience. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Re: Earthlink Cable
True, it definately is cheaper than Comcast, but the only thing that is keeping me from switching to Earthlink is the fact that they recently deregulated(I think that is the correct term), meaning that Comcast no longer has to allow 3rd parties such as Earthlink over their lines. Hopefully for those on the Earthllink service, their ISP can keep up good relations with the media giant. Regards, Jeff Kirkland Travis Roy wrote: Anybody on the list use Earthlink's cable service?

In fact, I haven't played with it in a long time. But, I did some googling and found the following excerpt: Sendmail Validation The check_compat ruleset compares all senders and receiver pairs before mail is delivered. It validates the mail based on the results of the comparison. It checks to see if host A can legally send a message to host B. check_compat is called for all mail deliveries, not just SMTP transactions. It is used in the following situations: A set of users who are restricted from sending mail messages to external domains need to send mail messages to internal; domains. Both the sender and recipient addresses are checked to ensure that they are in the local domain. A particular user needs to ensure that he or she does not receive mail messages from a specific source. A particular host needs to ensure that external senders do not use that host as a a mail relay. The mail messages are screened based on the sender's hostname. The link to the page is: http://docs.hp.com/en/B2355-90685/ch04s09.html The first bullet point, which checks the validity of user accounts against the local domain sounds like what you are looking for.

[OT] News Server Help
Hello everyone! For those of you who have Comcast cable internet, you are probably aware that there was a recent change in their service regarding their newsserver for news groups. That change was that they are now outsourcing their newsgroups to giganews. Granted, this move has made more message history available and more newsgroups as well, but as I have recently discovered, there is a 2 gig limit per month on transfers. I only found this out after not being able to download and receiving an email stating such. This ercks me to no end since those of us with cable are paying almost twice as much as DSL and now we have had something torn out from under us, that being the unlimited access we previously enjoyed. I know that some people are probably saying, "So switch to DSL", but unfortunately, it is not that easy. I do not have DSL available to me where I am living here in Nashua, I have checked extensively. Now, I did get online with Comcast and talked about this with their tech support, but all they could come up with is, "Giganews offers unlimited access for $24.95/month". Again, why pay when it was FREE before. Ok, now that I have made the long story long instead of short, I was just wondering if anyone here knows of a nice, free new server that allows unlimited downloads/uploads, without monitoring? I know that one was mentioned quite a while ago, but I don't have the messages saved. So, if you know of any nice free unlimited servers, could you please post them here, I would be quite grateful. (sorry for the drawn out explanation, I am still a little steaming over this issue).

Well, a couple "academic" points: One should generally check compatibility *before* making a purchase. :-) Dell offers two lines of laptops: Inspiron and Latitude. The Inspiron are targeted at "home users". The primary design goals is cheap, cheap, cheap. The after-sale support absolutely sucks. The Latitude line is targeted at "business users". They cost more, but you get much better support, and it's far less likely to infuriate you. Of course, most people buy the Inspiron. Given two identical computers, with identical specs, one more expensive but with good after-sale support and one cheaper with horrible after-sale support, 97 out of 100 people will buy the cheaper one. And they get what they pay for, every time. But I digress. On to the matter at hand: I suggest heading on over to http://linux.dell.com/ -- the home of all things Linux at Dell.

Here is a link to a story at newsforge.com ( http://newsforge.com/newsforge/03/06/17/1155256.shtml?tid=23 ), stating that Linus is taking a leave of absence from Transmeta in order to concentrate on the Linux Kernel. Linus will be setting up shop at OSDL from the looks of it. Regards, Jeff Kirkland ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Re: How many folks who use ATTBI realize they'll probably need to change their email addresses *again*!
I had not heard about the prices going up.

OT: Penguins
I saw this post on BLUG and found it funny, not to mention Penguin related. Jeff -- Start Forwarded Message -- I got this from the newsletter I'm laying out. It's a guide for anyone in PR that has to get a real live penguin for a press conference: A Beginners Guide to Penguins at Press Conferences Erin Sutton, Assistant Account Executive, San Francisco It always seems to be 3:00 p.m. on a Friday when a client gives you the most challenging task of the week. In the case of the Sun Microsystems Linux launch, it was Find me a Penguin. Penguins are the official geek mascot of the Linux Open Source Software community, and Sun thought a live penguin on stage with Suns CEO Scott McNealy would be a crowd pleaser. Just in case Buzz readers get a similar request, here are some helpful tips: --Sourcing the Penguin You need an Animal Trainer company. Just call Los Angeles. --Get Two Penguins One penguin costs around $1500 but if you get two, then the second is half off! --Penguins Have Needs Plan on paying for trainers (one penguin needs two handlers) and health certificates at $55 bucks a pop. --Penguins Can Fly ... Just not on Southwest Airlines. United will take them for just $50. --Hotels and Penguins Want to make a hotel manager laugh? We asked the manager of the Palace Hotel, San Francisco if they allow penguins in the building. Amazingly, he said Yes. --Penguins Squirm Allow 10 minutes for the penguin to get friendly with the CEOs grip. Oh, and dont expect a penguin to sit still on a stage. They run. Fast. As luck would have it, Sun decided Scott and Penguins wouldnt be a good mix afterall. At least we now know how to handle any future penguin requests. ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss
Re: DSL Provider of Choice
I just wanted to add to what was said by saying that not all DSL providers are Linux friendly, as we all wish they were. I did a 3 year stint in Louisiana and had Bellsouth as my DSL provider ( at the time, they had the best prices ). They were not at all Linux friendly. In fact, the technician would not have been able to give me the equipment if he knew it was going to be used on Linux as they seemed to have a strict "against Linux" policy in place. I had talked with a tech support person one day, since the connection was down and ended up being at the junction box outside, and he was heavily into Linux. He told me that Bellsouth was against Linux and did not at all support it. It is so good to hear that there are companies that support Linux as the users OS of choice. Hopefully others will follow in the footsteps of companies like Speakeasy.

Ok, and now for something completely offtopic. Some of you may shoot me the next time I am at a meeting, but call me a messenger who is trying to spread the word. :) I saw a posting on a newsgroup I was reading regarding a new, online community at: forums.devplanet.org I examined it and decided to sign up. It is quite new and it trying to build a member base. If you are interested in things like web development, why not stop by and check it out. Please keep in mind how new this community is. No, in case you are wondering, I don't have a stake in it, and I get nothing out of this plug. Again, sorry for such an off topic posting.

Re: SGI and maddog
One thing that I have always believed, regardless of what people think, is that no matter where your loyalties may lie, you have to provide for your family and self first. Nobody is immune to the effects of the present economy, and that is proven just be seeing some of the companies that have filed bankruptcy. It really wasn't stated by Jon as to whether or not people were giving him a hard time in the email messages, but I don't see where they would have any right to do so. Maddog is still a supporter of Linux, and from the sounds of his new job description, he will continue to support and further Linux in his described duties. I say "Congratulations on the new job!" and see you at the LUG meetings. > Hi, > > I have received several email messages about my becoming an SGI employee. > > As some of you know, Linux International has never paid me a salary.

Re: install questions
One suggestion is that you have a cdrom and a hard drive on each chain. By having both the cdrom and the cd-writer on the same chain, you will run into problems should you try to copy a disk, drive to drive. Also, by putting the hard drives on different chains, you will increase the speed of the copy, vice having them on the same chain. Unfortunately, I have not used System Commander, so I am in no position to comment on its use.
