 For locate try running updatedb and for rpm try rpm --rebuilddb and

Yes I did that all to no avail, did not fix the anything.

The next question is, will Veritas pick up the ball on this one?

Re: SPAM factoid...

2003-08-03 Thread Roger Oberholtzer
BBC's Click OnLine did an informal test of how e-mail addresses get
listed for receiving spam. They found that the most effective way was
when the address occurred in a web page. They concluded that the address
harvesters seemed to crawl the web looking for addresses. Just sending
e-mail was not the way the address was harvested. They had a neat trick
to encode e-mail addresses in a bit of obscure JavaScript that would
simple be ignored by harvesters. My e-mail address in a web page is:

script type=text/javascript

var x=function f(x,y){var i,o=\\,l=x.length;for(i=0;il;i++){if(i16)y++; +

I have yet to see how I can get all places with my address like this. But e-mail
harvesters do not see an address here. Pop it in an HTML block and see my address.

There is a web site that will generate these for you. If interested, I can look
it up. Note that as I can only control local instances of this, I still get far
too many spam per day...

Maybe the SxS could encode e-mail addresses?

2.6.0-test2 stable for me

2003-08-03 Thread Collins Richey
FYI,

2.6.0-test2 is 100% stable on my desktop system (ext3).  I use sylpheed,
MozillaFirebird 0.61 with plugins including mplayer, OpenOffice, CUPS,
xterms (aterm), and nvidia kernel and glx support.

A few notes:

1) The default kernel config now omits PC speaker support.  It's
buried pretty deeply.  You need to go to Input devices - Misc - PC
speaker(NEW).  Without this option, you will notice the absence of beeps
for duplicates when you invoke bash filename completion.

2) One of the many free gratis configuration changes that the good
kernel folks threw my way is ACPI.  It works like a champ, but it tooks
some digging to find where it is enabled.  The major category (power
management, or whatever category they call it) gives no indication that
power management has been enabled, but if you drill down to the ACPI
section, there it is.  Needless to say, this was not in the 2.4.x kernel
config that I used for the original make oldconfig! 

3) Patches are available for the nvidia kernel and glx support. I'm
using 1.0.4496 but I'm told that 1.0.4363-r3 will also work. 

4) Most users of the new built-in alsa support report success, but I
can't get the alsa-ens1371 drivers to work for my SB 16 PCI card.  Works
fine using the deprecated OSS driver.

5) Reported by various gentoo users:

ut2003-demo has heavy sound distortions and browsing some pictures with
kuickshow locks up the computer after some minutes. 

Personally I have used mplayer to view film trailers (no lockups), but
the sound quality varies quit a bit.  I don't know whether to attribute
this to the new kernel, the fact that I am using OSS driver, or just
poor recording quality at the source.

anyone know what happened to the davicom drivers in the 2.5.75 and
2.6-0-test2 kernels? - Its under the Tulip sub-category in the  Network
Cards section.

Here the matroxfb does not switch to the correct resolution. It remains
at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Documentation doesn't say that anything has
changed. 

The bubblemon WindowMaker dockapp often crashes with a floating point
exeption.

I'm not sure what you mean by 'alsad'.  I've tried every alsa
combination that I can think of (built-in and modules).  For modules,
I've tripple checked all the alias settings.  As I remember it, this
card (I got it ca. 6-8 months ago because my mb-built-in sound card does
not have amplified output) never worked on alsa (2.4 addon), period.

I'm not making any progress, googling with no success, etc.  Since my
card works with the OSS drivers, I'm prepared to wait it out.  The only
clue I have is that when alsa starts, it reports no sound card found.

 My e-mail address in a web page is:

 !--
eyes go funny!/eyes funny
 //--

If I wanted to harvest only legitimate email addresses perhaps I'd make
a website where people could submit them. ;-)

I saw what was probably the same study so made a little pascal program
that takes a comma-delimited text file and generates a javascript file
with a case statement for each name/address provided by the text file,
using nested arrays to avoid having anything a bot is likely to read.

The javascript file can be linked to from the head of each web page and
email links placed with a call such as ... 

script language=javascriptjohnDoe('IanStephen','Ian
Stephen')/script

Which would give a link displaying Ian Stephen.  The visible text of
the link can be the email address (default, just omit the second
parameter) or a string you pass.

Much easier to use for more than one or two instances than the
eye-straining output from that on-line tool.

Now off to dissect that example you sent and figure out just how it
works!

Yes that showed it Tim, however as Lonni said I need the devel of that which I

I have the tarball of gtk+2.2.2 but it will not compile because the glib 
version I have is incorrect. So I have compiled glib 2.2.2 but that is not 
enough, or because its a tarball its not seen. or ATK is the wrong version
but the best i can see is 1.2.4 and the compile wants 2.1.4. Sh** its just a

SSH Inactivity Timer?

2003-08-03 Thread Michael Hipp
All the machines I SSH into remotely seem to log me out rather quickly 
(2 minutes?) if I'm not doing anything. I presume it's an inactivity 
timer. Is there some way to bump this time up a bit (like an option in 
sshd_config)? I can't find one.

Samba with no passwords

2003-08-03 Thread Collins Richey
Just starting to experiment with samba to reach files that are on my
wife's WinXP machine accross the room.  Works OK  for file access using
the sample smb.conf file provided by gentoo (only modified to add my
workgroup), except for the nitpick described below.

When I mount a directory with

mount -t smbfs //ipaddress/Collins /mnt/samba

I get a couple of informative messages that I haven't supplied a
user/password.  Prompt for passwd follows.  I just hit enter, and all is
cool.

Is there any way to cause the mount not to prompt for a passwd?  Hint, I
have no defined users and do not log in to the WinXP box.

Flames anticipated, security, etc., etc., but this is only on my
internal net behind the router.

If you put the appropriate line in /etc/fstab with password=,user= then 
you can just do 'mount /mnt/samba'. (Or it may have to be user=guest).

Thanks.  It works with user=guest.
