Fwd:RE: [newbie-it] help: invio email....
Prova a immettere l'indirizzo SMTP di Virgilio negli altri account, dovrebbe funzionare. E' una tattica comune nella gestione di piu' indirizzi, in quanto molto spesso i provider (specialmente quelli gratuiti) lasciano il permesso di accedere ai server POP3 (che sono quelli appositi per ricever la posta) dei provider concorrenti, ma vietano l'accesso ai server SMTP (che sono quelli appositi per gestire l'invio delle e-mail) per (almeno dicono) questioni di sicurezza e anti spam. si ti confermo che io ho fatto lo stesso.fai attenzione che alcuni richiedono per smtp l'autenticazione del server..ma non sembra sia tra quelli da te elencati Quindi per risolvere il problema, quando si configurano piu' indirizzi, si tengono validi i server POP3 di ogni provider, ma si usa sempre lo stesso server SMTP che e' quello del provider con cui ci si connette ad internet. esatto...ricordatelo quando scegli la connessione da lanciare :-) Fulvio GRAZIE MILLE, ORA PROVERO' COSI COME DITE, COMUNQUE IO NON SO CON CHI EFFETTUO LA CONNESSIONE PERCHE' COME DICEVO NAVIGO TRAMITE LA RETE COLLEGANDOMI AD UN SERVER DI RETE LOCALE CHE A SUA VOLTA E COSI' VIA...

[newbie-it] Linux così pesante?
Salve a tutta la ml, ho appena installato Linux RedHat 8.0 sul computer di casa, perchè ho deciso di passare completamente a Linux, prima lo tenevo installato solo sul portatile ed in modalità testo giusto per programmare in c, e sono ancora molto inesperto del mondo del pinguino. Passiamo al problema: appena dopo l'installazione ho avviato il monitor di sistema, e mi sono accorto che la mia memoria Ram (256) era praticamente esaurita; memoria usata (245) e senza lanciare alcun programma. I processi in esecuzione che occupavano memoria erano: processo MB bonobo-actvation-server 2,2 esd 1,6 fam 2,3 gconfd-2 5,0 gnome-panel13,7 gnome-session 8,2 ssh-agente0,997 gnome-system-monitor 9,0 gnome-setting-daemon 7,1 magicdev 5,8 metacity 6,7 nautilus27,9 nautilus-throbber 7,5 pam-panel-icon4,2 python 14,8 xscreensaver1,7 tot memoria usatacirca 120MB E' possibile eliminare qualche processo di questi per liberare memoria?

Thx Jose, you've answered my question :). The only problem I have faced was my laptop T20 didn't want to boot from CD no matter what I did - playing with bios or updating it so I've fired installation via network booting from floppy network image.

Rather than having to download hundreds of files to get a working copy of Mandrake, they wisely chose to group tye numerous files into three large ISO files.WIth your CD burning software, you would tell it to burn from an image or an iso file. It will then do the convert the ISO file into appx. 650mb of individual programs.So you see, an ISO file is simply a bunch of individual files grouped together for easy management.The i586 files are those individual files within the ISO file. They are there in case you need some individual files or for folks that just perfer to use wget to get their files.Download the ISO files, burn each to a cd and load Mandrake from the CD. For Windows CD burning software, I am pretty sure they call an ISO file an image. You would use that option.You may want to try the local Linux Users Group (LUG) and just get a copy from them.

Re: [newbie] can't eject cd after burning
On some sites you can see quality tests of different CD-Rs. I found that TDK reflex, Sony or Verbatin CD-Rs are good. Also note that CD-Rewritables can only safely burnt at 4x speed, even if noticed otherwise (The Verbatin CDRWs say 24x, but my system always said 4x was the max when inserting such a disk, same with the Sony CDRWs but those also said max 4x on the cover :). If you get such a problem again you can also turn the recorder off and then on again to eject the CD by button. I doubt if the system recognises the drive again without reboot after doing that. You can at least try to start cdrdao after doing that.

The new solution will enable trucking enterprises to gain access to critical information by extending an e-business through this new wireless e- solution. Rocksteady software loaded on IBM's Intel-based servers running Linux will enable the nation's truckers to connect to the Internet through 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN'S) deployed by Columbia Advanced Wireless. The new solution follows IBM's recent announcement that the company joined Intel and ATT to form a new company called Cometa Networks to roll out a ubiquitous nationwide network of public wireless LANs. According to studies by CAW, more than 25 percent of the three million truck drivers in the U.S. carry laptops. [1] The benefits of Internet access to truck drivers are numerous including the ability for drivers to quickly locate and negotiate loads, to transact banking, to maintain contact with their business partners and employers, and to track weather and road conditions. CAW will deploy 802.11b or Wi-Fi hotspots at selected truck stops and offer prepaid access cards that act like prepaid calling cards. When accessing the Wireless Local Area Networks at the truck stop drivers can access the Internet using wirelessly enabled laptop computers and are prompted to enter an account number from the prepaid access cards. This new service is designed to increase the driver's success in a highly competitive industry. For security and optimum performance CAW will deploy the Rocksteady NSA Network Sharing Application and IBM eServer xSeries systems running Linux as the platform for the new Internet access points. Rocksteady NSA selectively determines whether the truck driver can enter the network and dynamically manages their Internet session based on their credentials. Additional capabilities, such as dynamic bandwidth shaping and metering, help provide a high level of network performance by allocating and prioritizing bandwidth usage in real time on a user-by-user basis. Trucking enterprises can help maximize the return on their IT investment by utilizing an on demand operating environment through this secure, reliable and scalable end-to-end mobility solution, said Rich Michos, VP Linux Servers, IBM. Accessing backend applications and data running Rocksteady Network software on Linux and IBM Intel-based servers, the new solution will help streamline the efficiency of the trucking industry's business processes enabling truckers to do more business from the road. We wanted truck drivers to be able to enter a truck stop, and purchase a prepaid card to gain access to the network, much like a pre-paid phone card, said William Read, CEO, Columbia Advanced Wireless. We require virtually 100% uptime, and since we don't maintain an IT staff at the locations, we need a highly reliable solution. We tried other solutions that simply were not up to the task of performing reliably in a hostile environment. Fortunately, we have found the integration of the IBM xSeries systems and Rocksteady's Network Sharing Application meets our reliability requirements and provides us the ability to rapidly deploy and easily manage our platforms. With our expanding relationship with IBM, we can provide cost-effective solutions that will span 1,000 truck stops within four time zones, said Kerry Grimes, president and CEO, Rocksteady Networks. CAW wanted a product that was easy to install and maintain but powerful enough to handle high-volume Internet access with maximum quality of service. With IBM's hardware and our software, we were able to provide those services without requiring IT managers to be onsite, which has the ability to save CAW thousands of dollars in costs each month. About CAW, Inc. Columbia Advanced Wireless, Inc. (CAW) is in the business of marketing and deploying 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN's) to the truck stop industry. The applied technology allows end users to access the Internet remotely within a controlled area. The benefits of CAW's service allows end users to connect to the Internet anywhere at a truck stop without the limitations of wired telephone ports or other wired business solutions typically provided by truck stops. Wired service providers are limited in the number of ports available to the end user and typically

Re: [newbie] ARTICLE: (Funny) US Military website hacked (they run MS? - THAT'S funny!)
Stephen Kuhn said: Had to, HAD to pass this on - you'd reckon that the US government agencies would have THOUGHT enough after the Slapper hit the SQL servers world-wide...and since most agencies are migrating their webservers to either unix or linux...gads - how dumb... http://www.msnbc.com/news/886524.asp?0si=-cp1=1 Personall I didn't think this was very funny at all. And on the contrary most federal agencies are not migrating to Linux or Unix. While some agencies have received waivers to migrate from Windows to Linux or Unix in specific situations, the vast majority of governmental systems continue and will remain on Windows. But then those agencies with waivers are still running Windows on the desktop, the waivers are for things like web and mail servers. The US Navy is in the midst of spending $6 billion dollars on migrating the entire shore-based enterprise to Windows 2000 for instance (I'm involved in that process unfortunately). But I agree that MS security really sucks. While I have to use Windows here at work (Military), I don't use it at home. I'm all Linux (Mandrake as a matter of fact) and my four servers run Mandrake linux as well. Part of the problem is that security of the enterprises (each branch has there own) is handled in a hap hazard approach because they were designed piece-meal. The military, and the rest of the federal government, as a whole is working toward correcting that problem but it's certainly not going to happen over night. But this type of hacking is not funny, particularly now when our forces are getting ready to head into harms way. The server(s) that were hacked have not been identified as far as I've been able to tell, but one can only hope it or they, weren't any really important system. -- Anthony Abby http://www.comicsnsuch | Comic Community News http://www.aplusdata.com | System Consultation Web Development Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Hello, Can anyone enlighten me on which device (i.e., /dev/?) the Sound card should be? I have the card in PCI2, and 'setserial -g /dev/cua1' give me the default values. However, 'lspci' tells me that the card is IRQ 10. This is inconveniently the same IRQ that it wants to assign to my internal flash card reader (plugged into an USB port (what dev is that?). I figure, perhaps, incorrectly, that a strategicly placed 'setserial' command could convince the powers that be to give IRQ 3 to the sound card (which that slot is supposed to have anyway) and leave IRQ 10 for the reader, which is working like a champ. Yes? No? Maybe? With an advance of thanks, Jim M. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

I have the card in PCI2, and 'setserial -g /dev/cua1' give me the default values. However, 'lspci' tells me that the card is IRQ 10. This is inconveniently the same IRQ that it wants to assign to my internal flash card reader (plugged into an USB port (what dev is that?). I figure, perhaps, incorrectly, that a strategicly placed 'setserial' command could convince the powers that be to give IRQ 3 to the sound card (which that slot is supposed to have anyway) and leave IRQ 10 for the reader, which is working like a champ. Yes? No? Maybe? With an advance of thanks, Jim M.

Assume true for N, prove for N+1: If you are on any of the first N floors, then it is true by the induction hypothesis.
