Re: [newbie] envelope yet!
Just a simple question from another newbie. You aren't sending the mail direct from your mail program to your ISP bypassing localhost.localdomain? You want your mail reader SMTP pointed at localhost.localdomain so that postfix/sendmail grab it from there and fire it to your ISP. Forgive my interuption if i am wrong.

It was an opinion and observation. I agree this is a newbie Linux list, but it has stopped others from voicing opinions and observatioins. Just think back to the Sept. 11th arguements and the religious arguements that went on for so long. I did post a question regarding Linux and my ancient CDwriter which I have decided to put it out of its misery. Thanks to all who helped and replied. As for the opinions are concerned lets face it they will appear whether they are talking about XP or stating something like Micro$haft. P.S. I didn't care much for the licensing fee they are sticking me with but then again I for one support Linux with purchasing distros so they can continue publishing better and better Linux distributions.

[newbie] Pine/Postfix/Sendmail
Hello: Thanks for the advice regarding the installation of Pine in my system. I have the program up and running at the moment, but with a couple of quirks, which I would like to discuss. 1. I am running pine 4.30 under lm8.0, using a PIII 800mhz chip with 384megs of RAM. 2. Is there some kind of relationship between postfix and sendmail? For some reason, both programs/scripts are installed in my system. As it is, I thought I was only using postfix and I was gettting ready to remove sendmail, but shied away when there were several references to postfix in man sendmail. So do I need to keep sendmail or can I remove it? 3. Currently, I am executing the following commands: fetchmail (from user) postfix start (from root) pine (from user) Is the sequence correct, or for that matter, does the sequence matter? 4. Now the really squirely part. The return address on emails I send out, is really, really messed up. How can I fix it? It should read [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead it reads dsimon9@localhost [EMAIL PROTECTED]. The casa-coqui.com domain is parked at earthlink, and I am using an alias at their web site to re-direct emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To make matters a bit more interesting, the only way I can get emails to be delivered properly to Pine is by setting personal-name in its' config file to dsimon9@localhost. I was looking through the main.cf file, and there are a couple of settings (myhostname and mydomain), which might address the issue, but these are universal settings (or so I think). If these are the proper settings, to what value should they be set? In my user's .fetchmailrc file, I have the setting set postmaster dsimon9. Thanks in advance for the help.

Re: [newbie] My personal response to msn.com and Internet Explorer.
Franki, I agree with Sridhar, I'm not sure this is an appropriate thing to do. However, it is your site. Three reasons I don't think it's a good idea: - AFAIK, Microsoft has backed down and is no longer doing this. Now we potentially look like the bad guys. - I haven't used Mozilla, but I understand it's a bloated monster -- do we really want to encourage a lot of people to try it and then swear it and open source software off (semi-)permanently? (Is it as fast as IE -- I suspect not on a Windows machine.) - Darn -- forgot the third -- maybe I meant to mention the same thing Sridhar mentioned. If I think of the third I'll follow up.

Is there some kind of relationship between postfix and sendmail? For some reason, both programs/scripts are installed in my system.

The casa-coqui.com domain is parked at earthlink, and I am using an alias at their web site to re-direct emails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To make matters a bit more interesting, the only way I can get emails to be delivered properly to Pine is by setting personal-name in its' config file to dsimon9@localhost. I was looking through the main.cf file, and there are a couple of settings (myhostname and mydomain), which might address the issue, but these are universal settings (or so I think). If these are the proper settings, to what value should they be set? In my user's .fetchmailrc file, I have the setting set postmaster dsimon9. Thanks in advance for the help.

[newbie] Procmail recipes drive me nuts
Hi all,
I am fighting with procmail, and am on the wrong end of the battle.
What the . is wrong with these recipes. They don't work.
Set up of the environment:
DEFAULT=$HOME/sylmail/inbox/.
MAILDIR=$HOME/sylmail/
LOGFILE=$HOME/procmail.log
This one is supposed to catch all newbie mail and move it to the MH folder
Lijsten/Newbie
:0
* ^To:.*newbie
Lijsten/Newbie/.
(After looking at the headers I see a Delivered-To:. Could that be the wrong
one?)
Changed it to
:0
* ^Subject:.*\[Newbie
Let's see what happens when I get this back.
This one should send a mail sent to Things on to my work and then store it in
Lijsten/Things (also an MH folder). Things is identified by [Things] in the
subject:
:0
* ^Subject:.*\[Things
{
:0 c
! paul.kater@myjobs-email.com
:0
Lijsten/Things/.
}
And procmail just sits there and catches nothing.
What am I doing wrong? Must be something really dumb...

[newbie] What I did wrong
Hi folks, Perhaps this is of help to someone: I was futzing with procmail to sort the incoming mail, redirect something and so on. But even when a few weeks back this appeared to work, it did not anymore (changed a few things in .procmailrc and thought that was the wrong thing). Less is true! 1. I changed providers. The old one let me pull mail through SMTP/postfix/mailkicks, the new one does not. 2. I do not use fetchmail but getmail. And getmail puts files directly in the mbox where you tell it. Mail does not run through postfix, so not through procmail. Duh... What I do now (which works): Use getmail to put mail in $HOME/mail/paul Run formail to disect incoming mail and push it through procmail: formail $HOME/mail/paul -s procmail -m $HOME/.procmailrc Which works fine. Then, as a safety catch, I make backup copies of the last 2 pulled mail-loads. That's all. It took me a while before I noticed that I had to use formail.

[newbie] LM8.0 Video display garbled
I've finally received and installed LM8.0, hurray! (Thanks, s!) On one of my boxes the video display is garbled: duplicate images appear horizontally, corresponding with vertical bands of video noise. In addition, the display image is not scaled properly and some 3/4 of the desktop spills off the right and lower edges of the physical screen. Here's what I've tried: * Consulted the LM User Guide, Reference Manual, man and how-to pages, and the archives of this list. * Checked to see the video adaptor identified by Mandrake Control Center is indeed what I have (Cirrus Logic CL-GD5434 PCI). They match. Because of the scaling problem mentioned above, I am unable to see enough of the Control Center window to further check information or try changing settings, nor am I able to make the Control Center window smaller. * Disabling Plug and Play aware OS in the BIOS and reinstalling. Same result. * Tried booting in failsafe mode. Same result. * Reinstalled, but instead of accepting the default monitor offered, I selected a generic monitor that matched my monitor's specifications.

(I may make a note of that in the warning.) It will be back when they can do it in a way that won't draw attention to themselves. Mozilla is not significantly slower then IE, I have both and there isn't much in it. Exactly what type of computer are you running? MSIE is MUCH faster than Mozilla. The browser is practically integrated into the OS, so it's naturally going to run faster. There have been benchmarks to prove it. If you like, I can dig some up. What do you mean by MUCH faster? If you mean time to execute, then you are correct, because most of IE executes at bootup whether you want it or not. If you talking about page rendering speed (which IMHO is far more important), then Mozilla blows everything else out of the water. Note that Mozilla isn't 1.0 yet - there is a good chance that it has not been fully optimised yet, and that it has the potential to be _much_ faster. IE6 is the first browser to come close to the standards, and it doesn't support Java applets or plugins unless you upgrade IE5.5 to IE6, then it keeps the support, other wise it does not. (but IE6 is no closer then Mozilla and supports stuff that wc3 don't. IE 5.5 supports HTML 4.x just fine. As did 4. You'll never know that for sure unless you do some _real_ tests. Browsers like IE are designed to find alternatives to functions pages which they don't support, so they can at least _look_ like they handling the code well. Also remember that most people design sites for IE, not for W3C standards. I never (repeat, NEVER) came across a site that wouldn't display properly in IE 5.5, until Sridhar posted that one page with CSS. If you're using CSS, then, and only then, would a message be in order. Though make sure you point out that Opera has the same problem. CSS is becoming increasingly popular, particularly for large sites. CSS has the potential to make web design much easier. MS's claim that they support CSS1 is simply a lie. Again, most people design their sites for browsers (particularly IE), not standards (which is a real shame). I am not stopping them from using IE, I am just warning them that its not our choice of browser and detailing some reasons why. Frankly, I consider your pop-up idea to be a form of harassment. You are making a political statement when you should be thinking of intelligent ways to integrate IE into your webdesign. I don't want to be bombarded with pop-ups because you're too lazy or jaded to test out your site in IE. This is a HUGE step back you're taking. You have a point there. You are entitled to place a best viewed with text at the bottom of your page because I realize there's always going to be one browser that looks a little better than another, but to state that you won't even try and make your page viewable to roughly two thirds of the web population is ridiculous. This reminds me of the best viewed with images on some pages which are linked to anybrowser.org. The problem is that people tend to ignore these because they are are small and hiding in a corner somewhere. I don't think Franki's aim was to make his page viewable to roughly two thirds of the web population, but rather to have a popup or clickthrough window simply reminding people that they're using a non-standards-compliant browser. This page can be very simple text, which can load rapidly. It won't be too much of an inconvenience to IE users, but it will definitely grab their attention. He is not blocking the page like MS did. This is about giving people a choice. This is why I'm upset as MS. It's not about herding people into a certain direction by using scare tactics. I haven't heard much in the way of truth from you *OR* them. It's not a scare tactic: it is simply informative. The fact remains that IE is nowhere near as standards-compliant as other browsers like Mozilla and Opera. We need to do something like this, we can't be underhanded about it like them, but we can't afford to sit by while they carry on.. Do something about WHAT? I think the peanut gallery has spoken on the MSN.com scandel. Everybody agrees it was universally stupid of them and that they were full of crap. MSN.com still looks fine in Mozilla 0.95 as of five minutes ago. who knows, if M$ .NET takes off, we may one day end up in a situation where nothing not IE will be able to browse any .NET supporting site... Until that day comes, stick with the facts Do you think they wouldn't do that if they could get away with it This is very serious,, I really believe something like this is a good way of educating people...

Whether you hate MS or not is really irrelevant. No, the message is saying that IE users may not be able to view the site _properly_. They are not being blocked, just warned. One of the worst things about (particularly large-scale) web design is browser-compliance. If we can replace this with a single standard to follow, things can be better for both webmasters and site visitors. Pages will be simpler and quicker to design, and can be more feature-packed because designers are not afraid of browsers not complying. There will be no need for excess compatibility code or multiple versions of the same page, so page loading will be faster. If we can gently nudge people in the right direction of using a standards-compliant browser, the world can be a better place. There is no malicious MS-style intent here.

RE: [newbie] My personal response to msn.com and Internet Explorer.
Actually, I agree with you, popups are annoying
and all my sites look perfect on IE, I am not using any of their optional
tags..
I am trying to inform people so that no one else does either..
I was thinking of combining that code with a cookie so that the popup only
happens once, or once a month, or once a year...
maybe I will make a div in the main page that becomes visable if its IE...
then there is no popup and still the infomation comes accross.

Also, I think you're blowing this way out of proportion. As a
webdesigner, I can tell you that it only takes a little effort to
support a number of browsers with the same HTML code.
I'd submit people that don't bother to do this are lazy.
My old homepage was tested with many different
types of browsers including IE, Netscape, Opera,
Mossiac, Lynx, and some sort of Russian browser
which name escapes me at the moment. And yes, I
downloaded them all.
It's already been brought up ad nausium that MSIE does
support HTML 4.x, and the use of their proprietary tags is
optional. The MSN webmaster was clearly full of crap. Just
accept this for what it is. In a sense, you're no better than
they are by stretching the truth.
As for the security risks regarding MSIE, I could easily
write a Javascript program that does some pretty mallicious
stuff. You hear more about VBScript viri because of the
volume of computers that support it.
Further to our conversation on this list about msn.com..
I have created what I think should be Linux and open sources
retailation for Microsofts attempt to force the use of their non
standards compliant browser.
This is what I have so far.
Here is the code that goes in your main site..

Nothing terribly fancy about that, pretty standard code.

that could put your computer and your personal infomation at risk.
We suggest you download Mozilla (Free) at a href

http://mozilla.org/a and show your support free software around
the world. Mozilla was created and is maintained and advanced by
open source programmers around the world. It is a fast, secure and
most importantly, standards compliant browser.
br
This is not necessary you may have full functionality, we just
can't guarantee it, and neither can anyone else other then

When the W3C considered RAND licensing earlier this month, the outrage from the free software community was so strong that they appointed Bruce Perens and the FSF's Eben Moglen to their board, in an effort to prevent Perens's threat of the community forking the standards from taking place. The WORST that will happen is that third party browsers will have to learn how parse Microsoft's proprietary web code. Afterall, Star Office can read Word documents. Do you have any idea how long this has taken? Compatibility is still not 100%, even after years of painstaking reverse-engineering. Once MS controls web standards, they are free to do what they like with it. They will push Windows-only technologies like VBScript and ActiveX over JavaScript and Java. I wouldn't be surprised if they introduce binary code, as they have done in the MS Word format. They can keep their standards moving, so that by the time they are reverse-engineered they are already obsolete. Again, the MS Word file format is a prime example here. Try reading this article by Robert X. Cringely: http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20010802.html Of notable mention is this: According to these programmers, Microsoft wants to replace TCP/IP with a proprietary protocol -- a protocol owned by Microsoft -- that it will tout as being more secure. Actually, the new protocol would likely be TCP/IP with some of the reserved fields used as pointers to proprietary extensions, quite similar to Vines IP, if you remember that product from Banyan Systems. It may only be a rumour today, but the fact that so many knowledgeable people actually believe it means that it shouldn't be ignored. In fact, if it weren't for Linux, the government's case against Microsoft might have come sooner The DoJ has been closely watching MS since at least 1993, when they were found guilty of using stolen code from Digital Research in MS-DOS, and of deliberately making DR-DOS incompatible with Windows 3.1. GNU/Linux has only become prominent in the past couple of years, but DoJ-MS relations have been going for far longer than that. GNU/Linux has absolutely nothing to do with the case, and had no bearing whatsoever on it. If it was, then why was MS found to be overwhelmingly guilty? -- Sridhar Dhanapalan The Information Revolution will be fought on the command line. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] FTP access to other folder
Hi all The FTP service on my Linux box defaults to /home/ftp which contains the folders: bin, pub, I have some files in /home/abc and want to give FTP access to this folder. I know that one option is to move /home/abc to /home/ftp/abc, but this will be my last resort. I tried creating a symbolic link: [root@linux /ftp]#ln -s /home/abc abc However, when I try to access the folder with an FTP client, I get the error message: Requested action not taken (e.g., file or directory not found, no access). Is it possible to give access both to the current folder in /home/ftp and to /home/abc? Else, how can I change the default folder which the FTP server accesses? Thanks for your help.

If you mean time to execute, then you are correct, because most of IE executes at bootup whether you want it or not. If you talking about page rendering speed (which IMHO is far more important), then Mozilla blows everything else out of the water. I find the page rendering speed in MZ 0.95 to be roughly comparible to IE 5.5, while the startup time is somewhere in the order of 4-5 times slower. If Browser.com is to be believed, the page rendering of Netscape 6 (which uses Gecko engine), is still less than that of IE 5.5. http://www.cnet.com/software/0-3227883-8-3607741-3.html?tag=st.sw. 3227883-8-3607741-1.DIR.3227883-8-3607741-3 Note that Mozilla isn't 1.0 yet - there is a good chance that it has not been fully optimised yet, and that it has the potential to be _much_ faster.' I won't agrue against that. Though I'm skeptical 1.0 will benefit from a perfomance boost. I'll bet money that performance won't be addressed to any real degree until revision 2.0. The current trend seems to be focused on piling on the features (bloat). MZ is a fine browser and worthy of the Netscape legacy, but it needs a lot of tweeking. Personally, I would like to see a feature-freeze initiated after 1.0 so that what they already have can be refined. They also should consider bringing the memory footprint down. IE6 is the first browser to come close to the standards, and it doesn't support Java applets or plugins unless you upgrade IE5.5 to IE6, then it keeps the support, other wise it does not. (but IE6 is no closer then Mozilla and supports stuff that wc3 don't. IE 5.5 supports HTML 4.x just fine. As did 4. You'll never know that for sure unless you do some _real_ tests. My definition of a real test is to connect with a variety of different browsers and see how the page looks in each one. It lacks elegance, but it's foolproof. HTML validators are cute, but I only find them useful in checking code integrity for the benefit of browsers I don't test the page in. Browsers like IE are designed to find alternatives to functions pages which they don't support, so they can at least _look_ like they handling the code well. Also remember that most people design sites for IE, not for W3C standards. You're missing the point, which is that it's the webdesigner's responsibility to ensure his code meets W3C standards and looks good in browsers other than IE. You can not lay this one on MS's doorstep. If you don't take the time to learn proper HTML, you get what you deserve. And contrary to what you or anybody else says, MSIE will render proper HTML if you take the time to use proper HTML. I myself type the majority of code by hand. I never (repeat, NEVER) came across a site that wouldn't display properly in IE 5.5, until Sridhar posted that one page with CSS. If you're using CSS, then, and only then, would a message be in order. Though make sure you point out that Opera has the same problem. CSS is becoming increasingly popular, particularly for large sites. CSS has the potential to make web design much easier. MS's claim that they support CSS1 is simply a lie. Again, most people design their sites for browsers (particularly IE), not standards (which is a real shame). I can't argue with that last point, other than to say that this entire thread wouldn't be faced with my ire if this were specifically about CSS. If you want to specifically put this warning pop-up on CSS pages, your case would be all the much stronger. I am not stopping them from using IE, I am just warning them that its not our choice of browser and detailing some reasons why. Frankly, I consider your pop-up idea to be a form of harassment.

RE: [newbie] My personal response to msn.com and Internet Explorer.
As I said, My sites all look fine in IE, that wasn't the point... they do all use css too, but still fine.. my point is simply to say that ie doesn't support standards consistantly, and add non standard functionaly to their browsers in the hope that developers will use these tags and therefore enable them to use the message that this looks better with IE because the other browsers dont support these optional tags And can you deny the security point? I went to alot of iis sites during Nimda to try and get email address's to warn admins about their servers being infected. I stopped using IE for that in a real hurry. because I kept getting readme.exe's downloaded to my tmp directory.. I then used mozilla and it didn't auto download any of them... I am worried about it mostly for one reason. In Microsoft, if the boss says: M$ sites will only allow M$ browsers to view them, then it happens. Open source, apache,linux,mozilla people will discuss it for months and do nothing. because they are completely true to their principles and think that anyone who doesn't know better deserves M$. Microsoft will be counting on that, because people have a tendency to not see the forest for the trees. The tactic they are using is the same one in IE itself, they make optional tags to that sites using them are more functional in IE then sites not using them (the optional tags),,, then they make sites IE only, thereby making the number of big sites viewable with IE more then the other browsers... then they can say that IE is the only browser on the market able to view all sites... thats the big point they will push further down the line, with FUD as normal. Then we will all curse M$ for their bastidry of the internet, and winge and carry on, but it will be pointless because by then it will be too late and we will have to live with it. I don't actually hate microsoft, they are big business and they are working to get more for their shareholders.. thats pretty standard, the tactics are not nice or standard, but you guys seem to be counting in the DOJ to stop them, they make the US govt to much money to be seriously stopped. the court case to stop IE being integrated has been going for years,, and they lost, and still IE6 comes with 98/98SE/ME/2000 and XP it didn't stop them, and they now have 85% marketshare of the browser market. and now they want to do the same with .NET. responding after the fact makes us look like wingers and whiners... That been said, all my sites look the same using IE, and all my Javascript works fine in IE and all other modern browsers that support it.. I wasn't talking about making sites not work in IE, I was talking about informing users... you guys will see me as a fanatic or something, I am not, I just can see where this is going web developers have been going on about having just one dom to support and hoping Netscape will disappear so that we only have to develop for one platform well you may well get your wish if this happens, but I don't think you will like the results...

[newbie] Installing Program Into Home Directory
I dowloaded and installed OpenOffice 638c and it installed (apparently as a default) into my Home directory. So I can't run the program as another user. I used the Super User file manager to move the OO directory into /usr/local instead and now I don't have permission to run it as a user. Is there a fix for this?

Also, I think you're blowing this way out of proportion. As a
webdesigner, I can tell you that it only takes a little effort to
support a number of browsers with the same HTML code.
I'd submit people that don't bother to do this are lazy.
My old homepage was tested with many different
types of browsers including IE, Netscape, Opera,
Mossiac, Lynx, and some sort of Russian browser
which name escapes me at the moment. And yes, I
downloaded them all.
It's already been brought up ad nausium that MSIE does
support HTML 4.x, and the use of their proprietary tags is
optional. The MSN webmaster was clearly full of crap. Just
accept this for what it is. In a sense, you're no better than
they are by stretching the truth.
As for the security risks regarding MSIE, I could easily
write a Javascript program that does some pretty mallicious
stuff. You hear more about VBScript viri because of the
volume of computers that support it.
Further to our conversation on this list about msn.com..
I have created what I think should be Linux and open sources
retailation for Microsofts attempt to force the use of their non
standards compliant browser.
This is what I have so far.
Here is the code that goes in your main site..
##

var browserName = navigator.appName
if (browserName == Microsoft Internet Explorer)
{

ble=yes) ;
}

Nothing terribly fancy about that, pretty standard code.

http://mozilla.org/a and show your support free software around
the world. Mozilla was created and is maintained and advanced by
open source programmers around the world. It is a fast, secure and
most importantly, standards compliant browser.

This is not necessary you may have full functionality, we just
can't guarantee it, and neither can anyone else other then
Microsoft and its partners.

Whether you hate MS or not is really irrelevant. I stated facts, and that is all. No you didn't. You're fighting one gross embellishment with another. yes, all other browsers could possibly learn something from IE, and vice versa, but having IE work its way slowly into being the only browser able to access web sites is a good way to ensure the population will never swap to linux or consider it..

RE: [newbie] SAMBA and WEBMIN inaccessible
There's something else you're going to want to look for, or your webadmin will NOT allow you access to the interface. As ROOT, edit the file /etc/webmin/miniserv.conf I believe it's line 11, that by default reads: ssl=1 Unless you have ssl configured and the cert created, you will not be able to gain access to the webmin. If you change that line to read: ssl=0 You will be able to get by using http://hostname:1. Once you've gotten that far, keep in mind that webmin will ONLY recogize the root user, and the root passwd specified at install. If you have since changed the root passwd, the new passwd will not work. So I hope you either remember the original root passwd, or haven't changed it. As far as ssh goes. Stick with it! It's more secure then telnet unless you're using another kind of telnet.
