Try running the fetchmail from the command prompt with the '-v -v -v -N` arguments and try reading the error messages that you get. Or if you have ftp access to the mail server you can go into the server and check you /var/spool/mail/user-name to see if the mails which have been CCed to you are actually being delivered to your mail box.

[ilugd] OSS alternative to M$ solution to campuses
Is it possible to make an estimate of the TCO of a similar setup using Open Source products? Ofcourse it should include integration effort of each OSS component which in turn should include the cost of providing a GUI frontend for the backend services. Would be a good point to pitch at educational campuses which supposedly boast tech-savvy students but still spend lakhs on the software? http://www.microsoft.com/india/casestudies/iimc.asp Abstract: */Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC), one of Indias leading management schools, felt a persistent need to connect all its communities via the Internet. With competition from only the top management schools in the world, IIMC wanted to create an infrastructure that was equivalent, if not better, in comparison to any equivalent university in the world. The solution implemented by IIMC, creates a technology backbone using Microsoft BackOffice and takes the education experience online, connects a dispersed alumni community, provides an extranet for over 600 students to access all relevant information and communication, and creates an ever-growing interactive web-based community of students, alumni and faculty.

[ilugd] Installing a new Display Manager
Hi everyone, I tried to install Xpde-0.3.5 from the Digit August 2003 DVD on a Mandrake Linux 9.1 system. I followed all the installation instructions but in vain. I am pretty satisfied with KDE but A Display manager that recreates the look of Windows XP is too hard to resist. Is there a 'generic' way to install new display managers (that have not been bundled with your distribution) on Linux? I have not been able to install any yet (Though admittedly I have tried only one other - ion). - AJ ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd

Re: [ilugd] now, help on lilo
With Knoppix CD do it like this: - Boot off the Knoppix CD. - Open a terminal. You become root with the command sudo su. You can also open the root terminal which is on the Knoppix menu. - mount the drive partition having Linux (mount /dev/hda?)(replace the ? with the appropriate drive letter) - change to the partition holding Linux on the harddisk. (cd /mnt/hda?) - chroot to the Linux partition (chroot /mnt/hda1) A very important step and forgot this one. Now lilo is back. - Now you can edit the /etc/lilo.conf file if required. - Finally, shoot the command /sbin/lilo. Reboot and you are done. I even had to mount the boot partition as running lilo gave the error '/boot/boot.b' not found. The trick is to chroot to the Linux partition, else you are refering to the wrong /etc/lilo.conf and /sbin/lilo scripts. -- narsingh Yahoo! India Mobile: Download the latest polyphonic ringtones.

[ilugd] (fwd) [SECURITY] INN: Buffer overflow in control message handling
[Please upgrade if you use INN on any platform -- Raju]
This is an RFC 1153 digest.

Subject: [SECURITY] INN: Buffer overflow in control message handling
Date: Wed, 07 Jan 2004 18:16:38 -0800
A buffer overflow has been discovered in a portion of the control message
handling code introduced in INN 2.4.0. It is fairly likely that this
overflow could be remotely exploited to gain access to the user innd runs
as. INN 2.3.x and earlier are not affected. The INN CURRENT tree is
affected.
So far as we know, there are no current exploits in the wild for this
vulnerability.
INN 2.4.1 has just been released with a fix for this issue and various
other accumulated patches. We strongly urge anyone running INN 2.4.0 or
any STABLE snapshot to upgrade to this version, or apply the attached
patch to their source tree and reinstall with make update. There should
be no incompatibilities between INN 2.4.1 and INN 2.4.0 or STABLE
snapshots.
INN 2.4.1 is available at:
ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/inn/inn-2.4.1.tar.gz
The MD5 checksum of this release is:
bec635b6e70188071fdb539cd374f2ba
A PGP signature will be available in the same directory shortly.
We apologize for this problem, which was caused by misuse of static
buffers and a dangerous internal INN function that we intend to remove
completely in the next stable release. The current development branch has
already been converted almost entirely to strlcpy, strlcat, and other safe
string handling routines and that conversion should be complete in the INN
2.5.0 release.
Following is a patch against INN 2.4.0. It should also apply to a current
STABLE or CURRENT snapshot if you use patch -l to apply it.
