 Everytime I enter anything all I get is:

Maybe an easier method for you (you be the judge) is to (on your local
machine) do it like this:
1. cd to the directory of the files you want to transfer e.g. cd
/home/kantoine/pics
2. scp yourfilenamehere xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/home/webroot/eastwind/docs 
(substitute the real file name for yourfilenamehere and the server's ip
address for the xxx's. You should get a login prompt to enter your
username  password, then you'll see the transfer progress.
3. Remember that you invoke scp from the machine you want to transfer
FROM not the machine you're transferring TO.

cd /var/spool/mailbox (Post.Office's default directory)
find . -mtime +30 | xargs rm -f

I've just finished another machine to replace it with an 18G drive just

This will hopefully last until this summer when it will be replaced with

Way, way too much overkill. You certainly don't need 6 access points,
especially at over a grand each for Cisco. Besides, an access point
opens your network up to anyone scanning for them. Alternative: Buy 6
Maxtech Mini-AP's which are simply external clients for p.c.'s, give
them all a unique ESSID if you want precise control, patch each one into
your physical network and use a single linux box to masquerade them to
the internet using a single public ip address and an access list of
internal ip's that you assign. If it's an ip address not allowed to be
masqueraded, then nobody can steal services from you. A good reason to
stay away from DHCP and use fixed addressing. 40 ip addresses should be
a no brainer to administer.

Can't comment on the Linksys other than I've read that they don't
integrate well with 802.11b cards made by other manufacturers. I use a
wireless LAN at home and it's comprised of Lucent Orinoco Silver cards
and a  MaxTech XLW-450 station adapter serving as an access point. I
have 4 machines connecting to the MaxTech at 2Mbps which is less than
the 11Mbps on most Access Points, but then again, I don't do a lot of
file transfers internally, and the 2Mbps is still faster than the
1.544Mbps of a T-1. The MaxTech is plugged into my wired network and
everything is then gatewayed through a Linux machine with one nic
connected to the ethernet network and the second nic is another Lucent
Orinoco connected to an outdoor antenna pointed at my NOC. You didn't
say how you connect to your isp or if you're using a laptop or desktop
machine so connecting two pc's versus connecting to the internet will
have different needs. Remember a desktop will require an ISA or PCI card
for the Orinoco to plug into. Cisco Aironet products are quite good, but
have been a bit pricey. I avoid Nokia cards under Linux, as they're not
as well supported. Once you've gone wireless, you won't want to go back
as it's very convenient. The links Keith gave you are good resources for
more info.

  I was installing SuSE Linux 7.2 Pro on my dad's machine as a dual-boot with
  his Win98, just so he could compare the two OSs for himself.  He was
  impressed with the ease of many things, including the fact that it
  automatically recognized his wheel mouse and worked first time.  When it
  got to network connection, however, it wasn't much of a surprise that it
  didn't find anything to connect to a network with.  He has ATT@Home, which
  uses an USB Ethernet device (not a modem, as best I can tell), and it
  wasn't recognized as anything.  Has anyone found a set of drivers for this
  device? Or is there information that you can point me towards to find more
  information?  I'd be glad to write the SxS if I can get it working.
 
 As with many USB devices you may/will have to recompile the kernel to get
 them recognised. However from memory which is very faulty these days, I do
 not remember there being any selection for a usb ethernet device. I have a
 cable connection with ethernet and cable modem, so I know nothing about your
 setup.

Worth mentioning I'm on a similar journey in trying to determine if a
new usb outdoor antenna will work under linux. Would make wireless lan
connections even easier as there's hardly any signal loss over the
equivalent 20 ft of cable. It's ip addressable, works at up to 5 miles
of range and is cheaper than the current PCMCIA nic/adapter/external
antenna. Check out YDI.com for these if you're interested.

 This seems just too easy. I have spent many hours trying to figure out how

 The other way was with a wins server, which works, but can be a nuisance.

Your arp table should show devices with a direct connection to it, but 
not beyond. So if all your machines have a connection to the router then 
yes, the router should show all, regardless of the subnet. If machine A 
had to connect through the router to machine B, the router would 
receieve the arp broadcast and not forward it to anything else, thus 
machine A would never populate machine B's arp table.

Data encryption over wireless has several exploits. A couple are on
freshmeat. However security over a hard wired connection is just as
vulnerable. There are bunches of packet sniffers available that do the
same thing. The difference is in access to the data packets. Wireless
would have to be captured between you and the ISP or second station.
Unless you're running an omnidirectional antenna, you're broadcasting a
rather small beam. If somebody's sniffing, you will almost be able to
see them physically. If somebody's packet sniffing on a network, they
could be anywhere your network runs. If you're on a WAN, they don't even
have to be in the same state to sniff you. So essentially it's a toss up
security wise.

 attn: Andrew Mathews.
 
 First, Andrew, thank for your courtesy in replying.
 
 Second I did as you suggested and the outcome was as follows:
 
 -rw-- 1 tony tony 0 aug 6 1427 drafts
 -rw-- 1 tony tony 0 aug 6 1427 Inbox
 -rw-- 1--sent
 -rw---1--Template
 -rw---1---trash
 -rw---1---unsent
 -rw---1---messages
 
 At this stage I have no idea how to proceed, but I guess I may have to do
 something with the line that shows
 the 'Inbox'.  I  had adjusted the 'preference settings' in the netscape part
 several times, with the result that I suddenly got online
 but, the 'Inbox and Outbox' still have me stumped. So over to you and thank
 you again.
 
 Tony

You will need to do a little touch up on these by cd'ing into the
nsmail directory and doing a chown tony * and chgrp tony * Your
files have correct permissions so just give them proper ownership and
group. Next thing to try would be to check permissions on your
preferences.js file which stores your settings. If you don't have
permission to change it, it won't ever let you do what you need to.
Yours is probably in /home/tony/.netscape/preferences.js. Note that it's
in a hidden directory (.netscape) so syntax is important. You need to
set it with chmod a+rw preferences.js, and if ls -l preferences.js
shows anything besides you as owner and group, change it with the chown
and chgrp commands as above. Take it one step at a time and let us know
the results.
HTH,

 I finally landed a new job and have been really busy this week. I just got
 caught up (kinda) and am at a loss about the ORBS thing. My current
 sendmail.cf uses blackholes.mail-abuse.org for it's DNS spam blocking. Should
 I swith that to or.orbl.org? What have you guys done about it?
 Please don't chime in w/ you shouldn't do that. it censorship or any of
 that other crap. If that's what you want to talk about, go to /.

Check out: http://www.e-scrub.com/orbs/ 
I'd think seriously about someone else. The current situation with ORBS
is being actively discussed on the vger.kernel.org list. Seems to be a
bit of difference of opinion. See the snippet below from a message
quoting Alan Cox.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Alan Cox)  wrote on 14.07.01 in
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:

  http://www.e-scrub.com/orbs/ is the key.  Ronald F. Guilmette
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] sent this message to spam lists.  Anybody still using
  ORBS for lookups can expect to get random mail bounces.

 Yeah he's decided to solve his load problem by committing an act of criminal
 fraud, computer misuse and a few other violations

What are you smoking?

The DNS requests are happening against his express wishes, so if
anything,  
the *requests* are computer misuse. Alan's NS entries pointing people  
there definitely are.

It's not Ronald who's telling people his server is authoritative; in
fact,  
he's doing just the opposite, loudly.

  Because of the way Alan disabled the former ORBS list zones, my name
  server is now shouldering (at least) 1/11th of the total world-wide

 [I think he means the way the courts did..]

I don't. He's talking about technical changes, not about legal reasons.

 And guess what, as soon as ORBS got beaten off the net MAPS starts talking
 about charging for their service, just like they promised they never would

How about starting a true free project, with charter and/or licensing
that  
makes it impossible to go non-free? Something that's controlled by more  
than one person, and which is explicit about what exactly the rules
are,  
and which part of those rules are responsible for particular entry.

Okay, now for the next level... Picture thisMachine A is
masqueraded behind Machine B. Machine D is also behind Machine C.
Or:
A--B-public internet-C--D
|___|

Now A  D are both class A ip addresses, 10.10.108.0 and 10.144.120.0.
Using ssh how can you export a display from A to D or vice versa?
export DISPLAY=65.121.54.118:65.121.54.119:10.144.120.51:0.0??
1st public ip__|| ||| || ||| 
2nd public ip|| ||| || |||  
2nd  local ip__|| ||| ||| ||
Since machine B  C are public they work easily. Or A to B, B to C or C
to D, and even A to C. But how can you specify an export three machines
back from one network to another? Is it so simple I've overlooked it?
