[newbie-it] mutt + mailcap e msg in HTML
Utilizzo mutt per leggere la posta.

Ho notato che quando apro un msg in html mi compare la scritta Unknown option -dump la versione di Links e' la 2.1pre8 curiosamente se commento la riga text/html; links -dump %s; copiousoutput in .mailcap leggo tranquillamente il messaggio anche se mi da l'errore La voce di mailcap per il tipo text/html non è stata trovata infine se in .mailcap metto lynx al posto di links vedo il messaggio direttamente ma con tutta la struttura dell'html.

OK, se non do' y comunque sendmail le lancia, e dunque dovrei salvarle da quanche altra parte perche' non vengano inviate, oppure le ignora? No.. se non dai y sendmail le ignora. Quello che finisce in outbox (le bozze) non te lo tocca nessuno. Ripeto: e' sendmail che invia le mail direttamente (on-line) oppure in un momento successivo prendendole dalla coda (le ha messe lui nella coda e non mutt). A leggerla cosi', dunque, dovrebbe ignorarle; ma poi io me le ritrovo tutte (posposte e inviate) in outbox? In questo caso, come le distinguo tra loro? Oppure qualcuno finalmente me le piazza in sent-box? In outbox ti ritrovi solo le posposte-bozze; quelle inviate (y) o sono gia' partite (invio on-line) o sono nella coda (invio off-line); _in entrambi i casi__ ne hai una copia nel file indicato con _set record_ nel .muttrc Se le hai accodate per sbaglio allora le cancelli a manina dalla coda (per ogni mail dovresti avere due file nella coda), apri mutt ti posizioni sulla copia della mail (set record), la apri e schiacci r: ti sistemi i vari campi e fai quello che vuoi della mail. rinnovo la domanda (non si sa mai): sendmail invia tutto quello che trova in outbox, posposte e inviate con y? Per sendmail il file outbox non esiste. Invia solo quello che gli dici di inviare quando sei on-line e le code che avevi creato premendo y in off-line. Arwan.. in outbox ci finiscono solo le posposte. Non stai chiappando l'approccio di mutt e continui ad insistere con lo schema di kmail. DEVI POSPORRE se hai l'abitudine di modificare spesso le mail prima di inviarle. Con kamil evidentemente usavi la tecnica del _non inviare subito_ e quindi prima di inviare ti facevi le tue brave modifichine/ette/che ;) Con mutt semplicemente non devi schiacciare y ma q e automaticamente la mail finira' in outbox dove nessun sendmail potra' toccarla. Quando deciderai di modificare la mail la richiamerai col tasto m e potrai ancora posporla (sempre con q) oppure inviarla con y. Se sarai on-line la mail partira', se sarai off-line finira' in coda. Non volevi schiacciare y? Bene.. cancelli la mail dalla coda (a mano) e la recuperi come ti ho detto sopra. Hai fatto bene a schiacciare y? Brava, accoda tutte le mail che vuoi e quando hai finito ti connetti e con un solo invio di sendmail spedirai l'intera coda.

Tieni presente che potresti aver bisogno anche di modificare la stringa. Ma ne parliamo un'altra volta. Intervenendo su questo comando dici a mutt cosa deve avvenire quando premi il tasto y. Ma allora mi conviene: 1) mettere outbox come cartella delle mail postposte, e sendmail va a prendersele da li' anche se non ho dato y Sendamil non sa nemmeno cosa sia il file outbox. 2) quando devo scrivere una mail che non voglio inviare subito, salvarla da un'altra parte, (come? salvo su outbox e poi la sposto di cartella, per esempio mettendola in draft?) Se per _salvarla_ intendi posporla allora si' e fregatene di sendmail. La lasci in outbox e la richiami con m quando vorrai modificarla-inviarla. Ripeto: non c'e' nessun legame tra outbox e sendmail. 3) a connessione avvenuta, lanciare uno script che dica a sendmail di spedire e poi a procmail di prendere le mail di outbox e spostarle tutte in sent-mail. In questo caso se lancio lo script senza da offline posso prendere le mail da sent-box e rimetterle in outbox, e poi ripetere l'operazione. Puo' andare la mia idea? No. E' tutto molto piu' semplice. Rileggiti quello che ti ho scritto nelle ultime tre mail. Incominciamo bene... grep: /home/arwan/.bashrc: No such file or directory Va be', dovrei avere dei file sulla vecchia MDK. Ed ecco la risposta! bash-2.05a$ grep alias /thorin/home/arwan/.bashrc # User specific aliases and functions Simpaticissimo! (Grrr) Cioe': il file e' vuoto, o no? A 'sto punto devo scopiazzare il tuo testo dentro un .bashrc da mettere nella mia home... spero d'aver capito. Allora! MDK ti creava in fase d'installazione sia ~/.bash_profile che ~/.bashrc. Sotto Slack te li devi fare tu. Alla buona: trattasi dei file di login della bash. Il loro contenuto si sovrascrive al contenuto di /etc/profile che resta valido per la parte non sovrascritta. La bash legge prima ~/.bash_profile e poi /etc/profile mentre ~/.bashrc ti serve per la bash sotto terminale. Quindi ti conviene (e' una delle possibili soluzioni) infilare tutte le impostazioni in ~/.bashrc e all'interno di ~/.bash_profile fare il source del primo. $ cat ~/.bash_profile # .bash_profile if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi Arwan, copialo e incollalo nella tua home. Nel ~/.bashrc oltre agli alias puoi metterci tante altre cose. Lo deciderai poi tu, per ora mettici solo gli alias. Considera che dovresti crearti una configurazione per root. Valuta. Magari per ora muoviti solo come user. alias x=startx Bellissimo... In effetti :)) Mi raccomando... ho un'idea, ma temo che non funziera'. Anzi anzi... un'altra domanda: se io ho tre account, tutti richiamati da fetchmailrc, quando lancio fetch li scartica tutti e tre. Ma se per caso volessi scaricarne uno solo? Come devo fare? Pensavo di creare un altro file .fecthmailrc con i dati di quel solo account, ma poi come dico a fetch di andarsi a prendere l'uno o laltro, a seconda della mia volonta'?

[newbie] apache rewrite regex
Hi guys I am hoping that on this list is a regex/apache guru... Currently, I have mdk9.0 running mod_perl/apache via virtual named hosts.. works great. I can run mod_perl scripts in either of the following methods: http://mydomain.com/perl/script.pl or http://mydomain.com:8200/perl/script.pl so the basic proxying works.. However only the latter URL works when passed params.. like so: http://mydomain.com:8200/perl/script.pl?id=somethingfunction=stuff (that one works) This one doesn't: http://mydomain.com/perl/script.pl?id=somethingfunction=stuff when I try that I always get the message that script.pl can't be found. Since its an internal proxy, I can't see what the regex has grabbed. This is the regex in question in the vhosts file: RewriteRule ^(.*\/perl\/.*)$ http://127.0.0.1:8200$1 [P] I tried adding this one too in an effort to be more specific.. but it didn't work either: RewriteRule /perl\/dl.pl/(.*) http://127.0.0.1:8200/perl/dl.pl$1 [P] What I don't understand is this: .* In my mind means '0' or more of 'anything' so why is it not catching params??

[newbie] seeking log analyser recommendation for shorewall
actually, i'm not very sure what i'm asking for, a log analyser or an intrusion detection system. the reason is, my /var/log/kernel/info has become abnormally large over the last 3 days, from 1.5mb between 1 Jun to 8 Jun, to 23++ mb between 8 Jun to now (11 Jun). the cause is due to shorewall entries, most of which are REJECTed or DROPped external traffic to seemingly random ports, from IPs which have no reason to attempt to access my IP. i vaguely (and maybe paranoidly) suspect that i'm the target of some probe/scan, and that the source IPs are being spoofed, but newbie that i am, i really can't make tell if any of the traffic are malevolent. visited snort.org, shorewall.net, netfilter.org and a few other sites to get abit of background information, but so far only understanding around 20% of what i'm reading. hoping that someone here can make a good recommendation for a simple to configure log analyser/IDS, that can make guesses on whether i'm being sniffed or probed. thanks in advance. ;-) for the record, i'm running mandrake 9.0 purely as the gateway to a small network, sharing a DSL connection, with smtp and http ports forwarded.

RE: [newbie] apache rewrite regex
yeah, I got that.. its pretty much the same as Perl regex. However.. I am not sure now that the regex is the issue... After hours and hours of googling on the issue I believe its a deficiency in apache.. one that mandrakes apache with virt named hosting setup brings to the fore. The issue is more or less specific to me, virtual named hosting with proxied mod perl using proxy redirects. To give you an idea, both of these work: http://mydomain.com:8200/perl/dl.pl?login=yes http://mydomain.com/perl/dl.pl/?login=yes (the second one works (notice the /?), but not as modperl for some reason it seems to be executing as cgi or something. and rewriting the regex to add the / into the proxy address has the same effect (as slow as cgi perl). (I know its not using mod perl because its the HTTP process that shows up in 'top' when it is run, whereas http-perl shows up when run the first way.) As before, this: http://mydomain.com/perl/dl.pl?login=yes results in this: [Wed Jun 11 18:40:11 2003] [error] [client 192.168.0.6] File does not exist: proxy:http://127.0.0.1:8200/perl/dl.pl?login=yes Appearing in the log, and a page not found error appearing on the browser. So in essense, mod_rewrite doing the proxy doesn't appear to pass the params on.. instead it seem to be implying they are part of the filename.. Go figure, the two things I wanted to do with apache/Perl, are both broken with named virtual hosting. (mod_perl SSI and this.) Does anyone know a method by which I might achieve the same result?

Commentary: The SCO UNIX Lawsuit--Will It Affect Your Business? by Paul Thurrott, News Editor, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Most Windows-based enterprises are likely well versed in the Linux debate in which Linux supporters argue that their favorite OS is more secure and less expensive than Windows because it's created largely by volunteers, is developed in the open and available for source-code examination, and is free to license. But many companies I've spoken to are less susceptible to the religious dogma behind Linux and take a more practical approach to implementing the open-source solution, as they do with any other technology. That is, most mid- and large-sized businesses are heterogeneous, implementing technology where it makes the most sense, which today, often means small and midsized Web sites, file servers, and in some cases even 3-D graphics-rendering farms. Linux has proven to be a fairly versatile and inexpensive alternative to Windows server products, even when you factor in the cost of supporting a UNIX-like environment. Over the years, I've found the steady improvements to Linux to be somewhat hard to swallow. Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks that way. UNIX patent, copyright, and intellectual property owner SCO Group recently sued IBM, the largest Linux licensee, for $1 billion, charging the computer giant with stealing copyrighted UNIX code and using it in Linux. Furthermore, SCO charges that any company using Linux faces legal action over intellectual property rights because of the fact that crackers have stolen entire sections of UNIX code and placed that code in Linux. The legal battle, which Linux backers initially greeted with somewhat childish dissent, is starting to heat up. And if IBM doesn't respond adequately this week, SCO says it will cancel IBM's UNIX license, a legal bomb that could force IBM to stop selling its UNIX-based AIX software. SCO's claims aren't without merit. After a weak rebuttal over the status of UNIX's copyrights from former UNIX owner Novell earlier this month, SCO produced documents that prove SCO has all rights to UNIX ... technology, including the copyrights, an assertion Novell ultimately supported. However, Novell still maintains it owns certain patents related to UNIX, a fact that's unlikely to inhibit SCO from suing every Linux-using company on the planet. The problem, of course, comes down to the source code. According to SCO, you can compare the UNIX System V and Linux source code to see where Linux is stealing wholeheartedly from UNIX. To make this comparison, however, you have to sign an egregious nondisclosure agreement (NDA), which prevents you from discussing details of the charges. This NDA is causing many members of the press to decline the invitation. Laura Dido of the Yankee Group signed the NDA, and she says the evidence is damning, with entire sections of source code, including original developer documentary notes, lifted wholesale from the UNIX System V source code. Based on this evidence, she recommended that companies with AIX contracts contact IBM immediately for advice. A wider concern is whether this development will forever taint or curtail adoption of the open-source phenomenon. As with Microsoft's sudden domination of the Web browser market, critics have looked at Linux's sharp adoption and technical improvement rates with some distrust. How can an OS without any true central management or development strategy so quickly grow to rival and even eclipse the decades-old UNIX? Well, theft is one obvious way. As a hypothetical argument, let's say Linux's original threading code prevented it from scaling past a certain point. One way to improve that limitation would be to steal code from a similar OS--UNIX--that had already solved the scaling problem. But the question remains: Who stole the UNIX code? This question might ultimately be answered in court, and although SCO has been silent about various details surrounding its claims, the company has said that it doesn't believe IBM is directly responsible for the theft. But what was once a curious, if nervously humorous lawsuit, is suddenly gaining steam. If SCO can revoke IBM's AIX license and prove that IBM used UNIX code in Linux, a wholesale attack on Linux companies could be next. And few of these

As a hypothetical argument, let's say Linux's original threading code prevented it from scaling past a certain point. One way to improve that limitation would be to steal code from a similar OS--UNIX--that had already solved the scaling problem. But the question remains: Who stole the UNIX code? This question might ultimately be answered in court, and although SCO has been silent about various details surrounding its claims, the company has said that it doesn't believe IBM is directly responsible for

1. Commentary: The SCO UNIX Lawsuit--Will It Affect Your
Business?
by Paul Thurrott, News Editor, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Most Windows-based enterprises are likely well versed
in the Linux
debate in which Linux supporters argue that their
favorite OS is more
secure and less expensive than Windows because it's
created largely by
volunteers, is developed in the open and available for source-code
examination, and is free to license. But many companies
I've spoken to
are less susceptible to the religious dogma behind Linux
and take a
more practical approach to implementing the open-source
solution, as
they do with any other technology. That is, most mid- and
large-sized
businesses are heterogeneous, implementing technology
where it makes
the most sense, which today, often means small and
midsized Web sites,
file servers, and in some cases even 3-D graphics-rendering farms.
Linux has proven to be a fairly versatile and inexpensive
alternative
to Windows server products, even when you factor in the cost of
supporting a UNIX-like environment. Over the years, I've found the
steady improvements to Linux to be somewhat hard to swallow.
Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks that way.
UNIX patent,
copyright, and intellectual property owner SCO Group recently sued
IBM, the largest Linux licensee, for $1 billion, charging
the computer
giant with stealing copyrighted UNIX code and using it in Linux.
Furthermore, SCO charges that any company using Linux faces legal
action over intellectual property rights because of the fact that
crackers have stolen entire sections of UNIX code and
placed that code
in Linux. The legal battle, which Linux backers initially
greeted with
somewhat childish dissent, is starting to heat up. And if
IBM doesn't
respond adequately this week, SCO says it will cancel IBM's UNIX
license, a legal bomb that could force IBM to stop selling its
UNIX-based AIX software.
SCO's claims aren't without merit. After a weak
rebuttal over the
status of UNIX's copyrights from former UNIX owner Novell
earlier this
month, SCO produced documents that prove SCO has all
rights to UNIX
... technology, including the copyrights, an assertion Novell
ultimately supported. However, Novell still maintains it

patents related to UNIX, a fact that's unlikely to
inhibit SCO from

comes down to the source code.

Actually the problem is that you have too much installed. When you try to rebuild d4x it is linking to libgtk+1.2-1.2.10 so it fails the gtk dependency check. This is a gtk issue and not a Mandrake issue. A couple of things you can do rebuild d4x-2.4-0.1mdk.src.rpm. rpm -e --nodeps libgtk+1.2 libgtk+1.2-devel Rebuild d4x and them re-install the gtk+1.2 rpms. Or do what I just did on my 9.1 system and rebuild the cooker d4x-2.4.1-2mdk.src.rpm. It correctly finds the proper version of gtk+ when multiple versions are installed.
