[newbie] KMail problem-one box and multiple users
Requirement: I have one PC with mdk 8.2 linux with 3 users A,B and C. All should have access to the mail retrieved from ISP's pop3 server and should be able to send mail through ISP's SMTP server. This is required because in the absence of one another can download mail and send mail. However they shouldn't have access to other files of the friends. What I made? First I opened kmail in one of the users. This created the necessary files in Mail folder of that user. Then I made a folder Mail in /var/spool/ and copied the files created as above. I did chmod g+rws to /var/spool/Mail. I created group Mail and made all the three members of that group. I made all the files in /var/spool/Mail group rw. Problem Now when the first user connects and downloads mail. OK. But Kmail now changes the inbox permissions rw of that user only. group permissions are removed. Once he replies/composes a mail and sends it outbox permission also changes as above. Because of this other user can not download mail or send any mail. How to avoid these changes?

Re: [newbie] aliases
To change the alias system wide (all users) you can make the needed changes to (as root): /etc/profile.d/alias.sh To make the changes for your user only and preserve the system defaults you can edit ... ~/.bashrc ... so to remove a default alias for, say 'alias md=mkdir', for your loginin only you could simply add the line ... alias md= to your ~/.bashrc file. The original alias would still be available on other logins... WARNING: Be careful changing the aliases. The reason the folks a Mandrake (or other distro for that matter) is to make things abit easier AND to help avoid disaster. Change them with care.. Have Fun!

And i know it isn't that it isn't mounted or something like that because it
produces a whole slew of errors at boot time. I've struggled with this one
for a while and it would be nice if i could install stuff off the CD for once.

Re: [newbie] aliases
Word to the wise, do not toy with /etc/profile.d/. Just leave those alone, and as I've detailed in the past, create your own ~/.aliases for your user. (Check the archives. This has been covered before.) The best place to add your aliases is in ~/.aliases. Yes, you can put them in ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile, but it's best to keep those files small, and a typo is more friendly in ~/.aliases then it would be in ~/.bashrc etc; So set up your ~/.aliases by using your favorite text editor. Here's the format: alias alias_name=command_to_alias Here's an example: alias mp='mplayer -vo x11' To get rid of an alias, use the unalias command. It's built into the shell. $ type unalias unalias is a shell builtin So after you've created all your aliases in ~/.aliases, end the file with your Unaliases Unalias unalias md unalias d Follow that format. It will prevent problems in the future, and you're not affecting other users that might want those default aliases. alias rm=rm -i is a good example. After you've created/edited your ~/.aliases, at the end of your ~/.bashrc add this line: source ~/.aliases This will set up aliases for each time you open a new terminal. Source your ~/.bashrc and it will re-read your environment files. tdh -- T.

I did some mp3 to ogg conversions on some 22050 khz (old time radio type files) on one 12 meg file, ogg turned it into a 7 meg file. That's for about an hour's worth of audio (lo fi of course). Out of curiosity, about how long did oggenc take to do that conversion? And did you have to replace the sore CPU afterwards? :) dfox, You are right about the sore cpu. Look at the output of the time command on this sample conversion I did: [elx@tamriel tmp]$ time sox -V ggordon4-23-02b.wav ggordon4-23-02b.ogg sox: Detected file format type: wav sox: Chunk fmt sox: Chunk data sox: Reading Wave file: Microsoft PCM format, 2 channels, 44100 samp/sec sox: 176400 byte/sec, 4 block align, 16 bits/samp, 249786368 data bytes sox: Input file ggordon4-23-02b.wav: using sample rate 44100 size shorts, encoding signed (2's complement), 2 channels sox: Input file ggordon4-23-02b.wav: comment ggordon4-23-02b.wav Channels: 2 Rate: 44100 sox: Output file ggordon4-23-02b.ogg: using sample rate 44100 size shorts, encoding signed (2's complement), 2 channels sox: Output file: comment ggordon4-23-02b.wav 363.00user 3.42system 6:09.99elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (294major+334minor)pagefaults 0swaps [elx@tamriel tmp]$ ls ggordon4-23-02b.* ggordon4-23-02b.ogg ggordon4-23-02b.wav [elx@tamriel tmp]$ ll ggordon4-23-02b.* -rw-rw-r--1 elx elx 20739735 Apr 24 00:20 ggordon4-23-02b.ogg -rw-rw-r--1 elx elx 249786412 Apr 24 00:10 ggordon4-23-02b.wav [elx@tamriel tmp]$ ___ As you can see, it really sucks the cpu power. I was able to operate OK while it was running, but I've got a 964 mhz Athlon here. Sorry it took so long to get back with you, but by the time you asked your question, I had already eliminated all wav's on my system; the one above I had to generate on purpose so I could get you some decent timing numbers. I think the result is well worth the intensive time; I did'nt notice a lag here, but then I did'nt put any additional stress on the cpu either. A 240 or so meg wav file converted to a 20 meg ogg in a little over 6 minutes. :) L8r, LX -- °°° Kernel 2.4.8-26mdk Mandrake Linux 8.1 Enlightenment 0.16.5Evolution 1.02 Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ °°° _ Do You Yahoo!?
