It would be your temporary TS access license expiring. The only way I can think of to trick it is change the name of your pc connecting to it. It may issue a new temporary license then. There used to be an option, -l I think, that was for "don't request a license". But it looks like it was done away with. Do you have any purchased TS CAL's at all for the server?

sharing an inbox in kmail
Hi all My wife and I have an e-mail address that we share for general corresponce with friends and family. She is getting tired of having to have me login under my username so she can see any e-mail that she gets that I happened to download. Any recommendations on a method so we can share the inbox for our shared e-mail account? I looked at Kmail filtering a copy of every message downloaded into her $HOME/Mail/inbox file but there is only a move to option not a copy to. I also though that copying the inbox from my $HOME/Mail directory over to hers via a nightly cron job would work but then there is the problem of her not wanting to keep certain e-mails that I would and vice versa and her inbox being overwritten. Plus permission problems, etc. I don't know procmail but did a little research on it and it seems to be overkill for this minor task. Although I'd like to learn to use it for spam filtering. But I don't have sendmail running on the desktop machine. And the recieving of pop mail is done via Kmail. Not q-popper or fetchmail or any such thing. Any advice, tips, pointers, or ideas on how to get this working? TIA, -- Tom Wilson Reg.

What happens is you go to a local convenience store and purchase a Lotto ticket for a US $1 a ticket. They usually have 6 numbers on them from 1 to 40 or so. Then once a week they draw numbers out of a contraption that has a bunch of numbered ping pong balls in it and you hope that the six you picked (or had randomly generated) on your ticket are the same six that pop up out of the ball machine. Is so you win the jackpot of generally some tens to hundreds of millions of dollars. Most people don't win.

Samba can do the file and print for you. www.samba.org has good documentation and there is a book by O'Reilly that is good too.

I believe agp video cards can snag system ram on an as-needed basis. My understanding of agp aperture is that it is how much of your system ram can be allocated for use by the video card, if needed. So a video card with a large amount of ram should theoretically require less agp aperture because it has enough on-board. As far as what it should be set at, beats me. 128 megs seems like it should be plenty of video ram but I guess that also depends on how hard you tax you video system. Probably safe to leave it at its default. --Tom Wilson ___ Linux-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe/Suspend/Etc -> http://www.linux-sxs.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-users

It doesn't but you can trick it. I had to do the same thing with my new

If your are in the /usr/local/apache2 directory you have to have the ./ in there so it knows to look in the current directory for the script.

I believe when I once used Apache from the default install of the OS it had the /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd and other times when I compiled from source it didn't.

Dumb question
Hi all, I am almost (almost that is) embarrassed to ask this. Got a Redhat 7.3 install and I've tried to install source RPM's to no avail. Well I found out that there is no /usr/src/redhat directory and it's subdirectories. I *thought* that I had installed all the goodies during install; kernel-utils, kernel-source, glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.16. I've installed it previously and and those directories where there so I'm not sure what I missed here. Question is, can I just create the /usr/src/redhat directory and it's subdirectories with no harm done?

Lib dependencies again
Hi all, In my efforts to get the latest version of Webmin on my proxy server(RH8 box), I'm trying to upgrage a box to openssl-0.9.6g-1 from openssl-0.9.6b-28. I built the rpms from source and when I did the upgrade option it gave me a laundry list of programs that depend on libcrypto.so.2 and libssl.so.2. In lieu of upgrading a ton of programs, I thought I could have the older openssl libs and the new ones live side by side like my other dependency problem on a different box this week. So instead of rpm -Uhv openssl.blah.rpm, I did rpm -ihv openssl.blah.rpm. I get a conflicting file error. "File /usr/bin/openssl from install of openssl-0.9.6g-1 conflicts with file from package openssl-0.9.6b-26" My thought is to use the --replacefiles option since I don't care if the actual openssl-0.9.6b binary is overwritten, I just want to keep the older libraries. Will doing --replacefiles be a wise option or will it replace the libraries too? Is this file conflict just the tip of the iceberg of many more? This is a production box so I didn't want to go messing without getting some input.

Re: Shockwave for Linux
You have to create the sym links to point to the flash plugins in the new mozilla directory after the upgrade. In my case, I upgraded 1.0 to 1.2, the upgrade creates a new directory for the new version of mozilla under /usr/lib (mozilla-1.2.1) so I had to go and create a sym link to the plugins under the mozilla-1.0.1 directory in the mozilla-1.2.1. --Tom Wilson On Tue, 2003-02-25 at 10:51, Susan Macchia wrote: > Thanks for all the info.

dvd/cd rom & cd-rw on same ide bus
Hi all, I know this has been a problem in the past but I was wondering if it still is or not. Having the dvd/cd-rom and the cd-rw being a master and slave on the secondary bus?

ext2->ext3
Hi all, I got me a shiny new PC last week. I am in process of backing up the data off my old pc to get it ready for the new. I was going to install Linux w/ ext3 filesystem on the new pc, the old one has ext2. Can I restore to the new if it is ext3? Or to I have to install it as ext2, restore my backups, then convert to ext3? TIA, -- Tom Wilson Reg.

The things I like about this mobo is that I bottomed out the kit I bought, but still have plenty of room to grow with it. The low in of the chips is a AMD XP1700 which I got, and it tops out at a XP 2600 which to me, for a desktop PC, is plenty of growing room. Plus it supports PC1600, PC2100, and PC2700 RAM so there is lots of room for RAM. Has up to ATA 133 support, 233 FSB, lots of overclocking if you into that, the sound chip on board is supported out fo the box and sounds awesome, as you can see I am very happy with my purcase, especially since I got motherboard, case, all fans, and chip for $195 US. -- Tom Wilson Reg.

The 4M's are a workhorse. I've only had good experiences with them. Other than the occasional maintenance kit, they cruise along fine. And I have pushed those things up to about 6 million prints before they got so bad as to replace the maintenance kit.

I just bought a Soyo Dragon Lite for AMD Socket A w/ Via KT333 Chipset and just got my parts last week and put the box together Friday night. I have seen no problems with it at all in the 5 days it has been running. I have taxed it yet because I have yet to transfer my data from my old box to it yet but I've given a decent test run so far. Plus on the Soyo website, they list their boards as actually supporting Linux. That was the only Mobo manufacturer site that I seen that did that. $.02 deposited. -- Tom Wilson Registered Linux user # 199331 I used to be with it, then they changed what it was.

My mistake was, in the httpd.conf file, I changed the default DocumentRoot to /home/httpd/html and I didn't change the Directory that is a couple entries down to match. So if you perchance changed the DocumentRoot check to see if you changed the Directory too.
