Cd to the directory holding the Mozilla email. Mozilla stores them as
standard UNIX mail files, so:

grep '^From ' mailfile | wc -l

will count every line beginning with a "From ", which is the start-of-message
marker for those files. So in that folder:

for mailfile in *
do  echo -n "$mailfile: ";
grep '^From ' "$mailfile" | wc -l
done

should be a good first cut. Note that this will probably also count
"deleted" messages if you haven't used the "compact folders" button
(which rewrites mail files without the deleted messages).

special accents on mozilla 1.2.1 or 1.4 under redhat 9.0 - won'twork

[Herculano de Lima Einloft Neto]

  I just upgraded to RedHat 9.0 and now I can't get special characters
like ã, á, à, ê on Mozilla input.. which are important to me and work
just fine on all other programs, like they used to on RedHat 8.0
(Mozilla 1.0.1, which I used to have on RH 8.0, didn't have this
problem). I've been searching for the answer for quite some time and
couldn't manage to find anything conclusive on mozilla.org or google ...
it seems hard to figure, there are some big inconclusive discussions
about this out there. I thought maybe I should set the locale to pt_BR
(brazilian), but then again, why would that only matter to mozilla?
Anyway whenever I run

]$ export LANG=pt_BR

, when I enter mozilla it sets back to LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ..

I don't think that's the problem since accents work fine with en_US, for
example, on gedit.
Some outputs anyway:

]$ ps xce | grep mozilla | less

*scratches head*  I could imaging possible differences in /dev, but
/etc/raidtab is an actual file...  Why should that change when booting
with a different kernel?

Now I can figure out how to edit the script, but does saving it and

I'm able to use the system, I just boot from the 2.4.9 kernel.

The machine is not local, it's at an ISP, and having alternate methods
of booting is a bit tricky...

Here's what I can tell from browsing around the system.  

The two initrd images for 2.4.9 and 2.4.20, respectfully, are of equal
size when decompressed, and are virtually identical.  Files, modules,
scripts, etc.  (Though when looking at the images before decompressing
them the older one is about twice the size...  perhaps just not as good
of compression?)

This is really odd.  What could be so different between the two
kernels?  The newer one was even downloaded through up2date, and works
perfectly except for having no RAID.  

I would have liked to go through Red Hat Technical Support, but I have
very limited funds.  Hosting the server for non-profit takes enough of
it, too.  If this gets dragged out long enough I may have to bite the
bullet, though.

Argh.  What am I missing?  :(

It only comes with a simple 'out of ink' indicator at the front, and 
tragically this is its downfall. With 4 ink tanks to choose from, 1 led 
at the front is Epson's huge mistake. Basically, without the Epson 
status monitor, there's no way to tell which ink is out.

And ofcourse, the ESM only runs under windows and won't work through Samba.

In short - if you can hook it up to a Windows box - buy it. This is the 
best printer I've ever worked with bar none.

If you're going to hook it up to Linux - the lack of knowing the status 
of the ink cartridges makes it next to useless.

Regards,
Ed.

Ed, just curious, have you tried to run the ESM under wine? At least
maybe it would tell you which cartridge was out? 
Interesting concept. Never even thought of that. IF Wine emulates the 
USB port or PPT port even close to 100%, it should in theory work.

When I get a few moments I may give it a shot.

Ed.

PLEASE HELP ME URGENT! I HAVE MY SERVER DOWN!!! WITH HTTP & SENDMAIL
:(

I cant start httpd apache, my mail server dosnt work anymore... 

I had installed a new Ethernet card and with the car all this problems

My old card is the eth0 192.168.1.4
My new card is the eth1 192.168.1.10

They are in the same LAN.. 
The dns is in the same LAN .. 192.168.1.2

The problem is the route table:

Then..
# ping -I eth0 192.168.1.2
PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) from 192.168.1.4 eth0: 56(84) bytes of

So, when I need to find de local network I can't reach any host... and
then I haven't got a DNS :(

Ping to a dns outside de network
# ping -I eth1 24.232.0.20

But the issue think is that I can ping from my machine outside the
network to the server and even connect to SSH !!!

What's wrong with the routing tables???

Re: Red Hat 9.0 One user and multiple mailboxes.

[Jonathan Bartlett]

Why not use Postfix?  It comes w/ RH.  You have to do something like

alternatives mta /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix

followed by

chkconfig sendmail off
chkconfig postfix on
service sendmail stop
service sendmail start

But it works like a beauty, and is fully open source unlike Qmail.

wu-ftpd & passive mode

[Jim Marshall]

Hi,
If there is a better list for this question please point me to it.
I have Red Hat 8.0 with wu-ftp 2.6.2.8. The machine was originally
hooked up to a DSL line and a network everywhere (LinkSys?)
router, I updated the ftpaccess file to specify the passive ports
and IP Address. I also opened the port range in the router. All
was working great, until the DSL provider decided it was a good
idea to renew the ip address lease each week and
forcing an address change. So I moved the machine to a T1 line
behind a Netopia R5300 router. I modified the IP address in the
ftpaccess file and opened the ports in the netopia. However
passive mode just refuses to work. If I telnet to the T1 address
and use the FTP port and issue the PASV command, it just sits
there forever (I think it may eventualy come back with some kind
of 425 error).

(telnet 64.6.181.158 21)
230 User wbemuser logged in. Access restrictions apply.
TYPE I
200 Type set to I.
PASV

it just sits there after issueing the PASV command.

Now if I telnet to the internal ip addy on the FTP port, things
seem to
work better. I issue the PASV command and I get the 227 response. If I
then try to telnet to the ip and port specified in the 227 response I
get an error about port theft:

first telnet session (telnet 192.168.1.36 21):
230 User wbemuser logged in. Access restrictions apply.
TYPE I
200 Type set to I.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (64,6,181,158,74,235)
NLST

In another telnet session I do:

telnet 64.6.181.158 19179

This connection is closed immediatly and in the first telnet
session I get

"425 Possible PASV port theft, cannot open data connection."

which I expect (and implies that I have the ports open in the
router correctly?).

What have I configured wrong?

In the router I have port 21 open as well as a range (19000-21000)
for the passive ports (specified in the ftpaccess file).

thank you

Re: How to send a global email with sendmail

[Win Toe]

If you want to send all users on one system , then you can use cut or awk
Using cut, 
mail `cut -d : -f 1 /etc/passwd` 499 {print $1}' /etc/passwd` 499 {print $1'. 

Note:- You must use back quote in quoting.

You can't, but you can write an easy script to parse all the users in
/etc/passwd to send them e-mails.

you will need to boot from a floppy and tell your bootloader (grub or

How is the remote folder accessed?

I would check the hostname resolution setup and look at the nic pretty
carefully.  Does ifconfig show any errors?

Actually, in order to continue making money, the "big american antivirus companies"
will probably find it more profitable to develop antivirus software for Linux, as Linux
is now one of the most widely used operating systems in the corporate marketplace
today, and that number is growing fast.  This will also keep them from having to go 
head-to-head
against Microsoft, who is right there ready and willing to crush anything in its path.

Postfix 2.0 came out a day before the last RHL 9 beta shipped
so it was too late to include in the final version.

If you need Postfix 2.x , go grab the rawhide rpm or an rpm from
Simon Mudd's website (the latter being preferable to the former).

Re: NFS newbie question

[SAQIB]

Everything has specific purpsose. NFS was designed for something else, and
has lots of other functionality (e.g. NAS solutions are based on NFS
stack). For mp3 a open source streaming server or a http server is the way
to go.

RE: Antivirus for Linux

No, don't bother with RAV.  I heard that Microsoft is planning to
discontinue support for Linux and shut down the company in a few months.

Now that Microsoft has their own AntiVirus engine, I wonder how that's going
to affect the big American AntiVirus companies like Norton, McAfee, etc.  I
think they will be very, very upset (and worried).

Re: Package Management problems

[Lorenzo Prince]

The best package management I have seen so far is the apt package management
 for RPM systems.  First, download and install apt from www.freshrpms.net or
several other sites that have it.  Then from a terminal as root, type:

$ apt-get update
$ apt-get install synaptic

Synaptic is the GUI front-end.  It already comes with a list of sites where it will 
download any packages and dependencies and install them for you automatically.

Re: mysql backup?

[SAQIB]

we run mysqlhotcopy script to copy the database to a different slice on
the disk, and then make the backup of that slice to a magnetic tape.

/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqlhotcopy password=your_passwd databasename
/path/to/backup/dir

mysqlhotcopy is a perl script that locks the table for updates while the
copy is being made. This ensures the integrity.

If want a more robust solution, I would recommend creating replica(mirror)
db server and making backups of the replica server.

Re: Red Hat 9.0 One user and multiple mailboxes.

[Lorenzo Prince]

John Nichel staggered into view and mumbled:
> Ditch Sendmail, and install qmail with vmailmgr.  Works like a charm.

But how do you get qmail to work on RH9?  I went to qmail.org to try to get qmail 
cause I heard it was good, but when I 
got there, it said it didn't work with later versions of gcc.  It said I needed a lot 
of patches and that it would be a 
lot of trouble just to get it to work on any new distro.

Trouble mounting SMB resources.

[Kunkel, Mark]

Title: Trouble mounting SMB resources.





I am attempting to setup mounting of SMB resources as a regular user.


I use the command mount /mnt/public


I have put the following line in /etc/fstab
//essrocbdc/Public  /mnt/public smbfs   noauto,users


I have set the setuid bit on the smbmnt command.


The error I get is:
cannot mount on /mnt/public: Operation not permitted.


Any ideas what the problem is. I of course have no problem running the same mount command as root.

connection to server interupted

[jeff allen]

I hope this makes sense.

I have 22 machines running RH7.3. One machine has a connection problem that 
is intermitent. There is a folder on the server that all machines access. On 
this one machine it will run into a problem connecting to it. The only way I 
have found that tells me this is I do a df and that one drive can take 2-10 
seconds to show up. Typically it will show immediately. I am stumped and 
wondering how a newbie would go about determining what is causing the issue. 
All 22 machines have the same hardware setup and checking the graphical 
interface on the switch the setting are all the same there.

Thanks

What mount options did you use when mounting the nfs drive?  You can
increase the block size or something to speed up large file transfers.

DNS ? web and mail hosts in different domains.

[Timothy Stone]

Here's a slow pitch:

I have been recently instructed to move a web domain to internally 
hosted servers.

In so doing I added 4 A records with our external DNS host (for round 
robin load sharing) to move the domain for web hosting. In so doing, 
partly because I missed the part about the customers email, I disabled 
email for the customer. We don't host email internally. To appease the 
demo gods, imagine if you will:

www.customersite.com. IN A 192.168.0.5
www.customersite.com. IN A 192.168.0.6
www.customersite.com. IN A 192.168.0.7
www.customersite.com. IN A 192.168.0.8
I have since hoped to correct the problem by adding a MX record:

customersite.com. IN MX 10 mail.customermailhost.com

Would this be correct? I'm waiting over the weekend for DNS to propogate 
at this point. Our DNS host didn't balk at the request, and trust me, if 
it was odd, they would have.

Thanks, Tim

NFS newbie question

[G. Douglas Burton (RH 8.0)]

I've recently tried to convert one of my fileservers (80 Gb RH8.0) to NFS.  I 
have it setup to use Samba for access from Windows machines on my net and 
they all work just fine when playing MP3s and transferring large files.  But 
now I want to use my RH 8.0 desktop machine to access the server and play 
MP3s etc.  I tried to use Samba at first and the sound was very choppy 
(assume from the extra Samba overhead), so I tried to switch to NFS.  Now the 
songs start off just fine, but then they pause for varying lengths of time (a 
few seconds to several minutes).  Sometimes most of the song will play and 
then they come to a dead stop.  This machine will play MP3s from my Windows 
server just fine using Samba.  I really thought NFS would be the answer I was 
looking for, any suggestions?

Look at: .

Do incremental backups to disk.  If you want to catch upgrade/operator
errors, backing up to the very same disk is useful.  If your disk is
really a pair of raid 1 disks mirroring each other, then backing up to
yourself is even pretty safe against hardware problems.

To be really safe backup over a network to a different box.

If you have a machine with a few gigs to spare use rsync to copy the
entire filesystem from the machine (exclude the /proc and /mnt
directories) to another machine.

To restore, you mount a HD, and copy the file system to it, create the
/proc and /mnt directories, then put the HD in the machine, and boot via
a boot disk. Boot into maintanance mode (It will automaticlly) enter
your root password and use e2label to label your partitions mount
points. Reboot with boot disk.  login as root, and run grub-install
/dev/. all done.  Takes an hour to restore at the outside.

You can always rsync back to the original machine to skip a few steps
too.

I have simple scripts if you need it.

No, don't reboot, it is likely just getting good.

Linux doesn't like keeping lots of RAM free, it justs seems like a
waste to have RAM sitting there not used for anything, so it uses
extra RAM of optional things, like caching disk contents.

When you try to read a file it might be in the cache, in which case
you will get it much faster.  Similar logic applies to IO buffering.
If later that RAM is needed for more specific uses it can be taken
back from on a moment's notice.  Only a little RAM is kept free in
Linux, and that is good.

RH9 slowed after PS/2 to USB mouse change?!?

[Bonny]

Hello all!

I just changed my mouse from a 2-button PS/2 mouse to a 2-button+scroll
USB mouse.
What I've noticed is that before getting the login screen of RedHat 9, I
get the "nVIDIA" logo for about 10/15 sec.! Another thing is that the
keyboard doesn't respond on the login screen for about 15 seconds, too!

Could this be related to my USB mouse? What's wrong?

Thank you all!

Sorry for the previous non-snip

After actually testing the script above I see that killing the wrapper
did not kill the rsync job.  is appears to work if you exec rsync
instead of allowing it to fork by simply calling it.

exec /usr/bin/rsync -arvvze /usr/bin/ssh remotehost:/remote/dir/path /local/mirror/dir 
 >>"$outfile" > 2>&1

This might be double compressing if ssh is also using compression but I
don't think it does by default.

Procmail (???) error

[Mark Neidorff]

I don't know what I changed...it must have been something that affected
mail delivery within my local domain.  I run a mail server on my linux box
and using procmail, it successfully receives and sends mail across the
Internet for me and my family (on 192.168.1.x).

But when I try to send mail to other computers on my local network, the
mail does not get delivered.  What happenes is that the mail "sits" in
/var/spool/mqueue along with a ".lock" file.  I can force the mail to get
delivered by rm'ing the .lock file repeatedly and checking for delivery
with mailq.  When the mail is finally delivered, I must manually "killall
procmail" and then rm all of the files in the /var/spool/mqueue directory.  
Once I do that, mail delivery resumes as normal.

My analysis of the procmail.log file is that at some point in the delivery
chain the ".lock" file isn't being removed and things stop there.  There
doesn't seem to be anything wrong in /var/log/messages or
/var/log/maillog.  

Is there anything else thatCan anyone see how I can fix the problem?

Here is a "small" excerpt from my procmail.log file that shows the 
problem when I (mark) send an e-mail to another user on my local network 
(merri).  Thanks for any help,

Package Management problems

[chip . wiegand]

I recently set up a RedHat 9 box to test on our network and yesterday 
resolved a printing issue. Now today I am trying to install the rdesktop 
software but running up against a wall. First, the machine was set up 
using the default option for Personal Desktop. Okay, here's what I'm doing 

- 

Open Package Management gui from the menu. 
 Select Development Tools and find GCC is selected by default, press 
the Update button
  Packages Not Found - krb5-libs and openssl
 Search around and find krb5-server in the Network servers tab (cannot 

find krb5-libs anywhere). Select krb5-server and select update
  Packages Not Found - krb5-libs, make, openssl, gettext, binutils
Quit

What's up with that? I thought Package Management meant it would find the 
dependencies and install them as needed, but apparently it doesn't. And 
where are the dependencies? Why can't can't it handle this by itself?

(I'm new to linux, but have been using FreeBSD for about 4 years now, the 
FreeBSD ports system installs all dependencies on its own as needed)

Mostly - What do I do now?

Thanks,

All (except swap) are reiserfs.  The journal is whatever the default
is (RH installer made the regular partitions. I made the backup by
hand).  But the difference is many many megabytes.  

Does Reiserfs allocate files space in bigger chunks on bigger volumes?
That could make for more slop hanging off the end of files.

Thanks,

What is the filesystem type on the other partitions? Ext2 has no
journal, while ext3 does (though I don't recall how it sizes it). Check
out journal size in reiserfs to see how much that is using up.

Yeah probably but not too clean as it would kill anything else rsync
might be doing.  How about wrapping the rsync call in a wrapper script
and writting the pid of the wrapper to a file:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] Workingdir]$ cat ~/bin/testrsync 
#!/bin/bash
outfile="/tmp/rsync.out"
echo $$ > "/tmp/rsyncjob.pid"
echo "beginning rysnc.job at " `date` > "$outfile"
rsync -arvvze /usr/bin/ssh /home/bhughes/mydata compaq3:.  >>"$outfile"
2>&1

then you can have the kill job do something like :

kill `cat /tmp/rsyncjob.pid`   

Those are backtics

And how does "commercial software" get around the need to create new
user "accounts" intelligently? A proprietary password file? I don't
think so ...

The -M prevents the home directory from being created and -s sets the

Reiserfs Disk Usage

[Kent Borg]

My old 12GB notebook disk was dying, so I got a new 60GB, and after a
somewhat worrisome installation in my Vaio Z505LE, it works!

Now that I have all this nice space I decided to use some of it to
backup the rest (a la
).  I am using
Reiserfs, and made an extra partition for my backups.  I did my
initial rsync --archive (excluding /proc, /dev, and the backup volume
itself), and by the time it finished the backup was bigger than the
original:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# df
  Filesystem   1K-blocks  Used Available Use% Mounted on
  /dev/hda2 15357664   4599040  10758624  30% /
  /dev/hda1   104380 38072 66308  37% /boot
  none 95312 0 95312   0% /dev/shm
  /dev/hda6 39068848   4774752  34294096  13% /root/backups
  [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# 

Does Reiserfs have differing overhead depending upon volume size?  Is
something else happening?


Thanks,

dig behavior

[Marvin Blackburn]

We have experienced this behavior on rh 9.0, rh 8.0, and AS 2.1

We can use nslookup to resolve internal addresses by the shortnames and by
the fully qualified names.
However, we get a connection timeout; unable to connect to server when
"digging" on the shortname.
The fqn works fine.

I am trying to make sure that this is the expected behavior.

Well, the easises way that I know of would be creating a new user, and then 
delete the home directory and set the login shell of the new user to 
/bin/false in /etc/passwd.

Is there any specific reason why you don't want to do this?

Re: Red Hat 9.0 One user and multiple mailboxes.

[Win Toe]

For one mailbox, multiple users, 
add aliases entry in /etc/aliase file like this
users:[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED]

then as root
root#sendmail -bi

now if u send mail to users, the message will be received by [EMAIL PROTECTED],
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED]

for local users, u can omit domain name 
for more info refers to aliases manual

-->
for one user with multiple mailboxes, use /etc/aliase file also. Add one
aliases entries for each mail boxes, 

user_a:bob
user_b:bob
user_c:bob

then as root
root#sendmail -bi

now if u send mail to user_a or user_b or user_c will be redirected to bob
(which is local user bob).

Samba Problem Resolved - Not as Expected

[David Hart]

I gave up.

Apparently, it is impossible to mount an NTFS partition and then share
it by any means that a Windoze client can use. I even tried a trial run
of an NFS client for XP - no dice. It simply refuses to be
authenticated.

The solution is to re-format to Ext3 which seems ironic since this (now
SMB) share has network distributions exclusively for Win clients. Oh
well. Now the files are RWX as required. Since there are service packs
with about a gb of small files this would have been a good experiment
for ReiserFS but that's for another day.

How well is it supported by the printing system (LPRNG etc)?

I can live with having to boot windows for a status when the ink gets low as 
it's a dual-boot box (I like playing MSFS - probably the only product I

Re: Activating ETH0

[Win Toe]

log files are kept in /var/log/ directory.
but actual filename depends on configuration of /etc/syslog.conf
the easiest way to record err message is to use error redirection.

eg. 
root#ifconfig eth0 up 2>error

then all errors will be kept in the file name in error.

RE: Network printer setup with CUPS

[chip . wiegand]

Thanks for all the help guys, I found out where the problem was - the 
Netport Express itself. It has issues. Even though it allows printing from 
the entire MS Windoze network, it still has problems. The button on the 
side to print a test page results in no test page, the web interface 
button to print a test page results in no test page, and making any 
changes at all in the config from the web interface just locks it up. Even 
my spare, old Netport Express has the same issues. I replaced it with a 
spare Lexmark MarkNet box and everything is fine now.

Ed, just curious, have you tried to run the ESM under wine? At least

It's very easy. Mozilla stores mail in mbox format, meaning, it's just flat 
file. So you can copy around that files, and do whatever you want.

First, go to your .mozilla/your_profile_name/*.slt/Mail/

your_profile_name should be "default" if you haven't created your own profile.

You should see the "Local Folders" directory there. Go to that directory, and 
you should see something like

[EMAIL PROTECTED] Local Folders]$ ls
Drafts  Sent  Templates  Trash  Unsent Messages

Those are the files you want to copy for export, backup, etc. You should have 
Inbox file too. In my case, since my account is POP account from another 
server, I have the files in directory

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mail.mypopserver.edu]$ pwd
~/.mozilla/default/zrztkfnk.slt/Mail/mail.mypopserver.edu/

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mail.mypopserver.edu]$ ls   
Drafts  Inbox.msf   popstate.dat  Templates
Inbox   msgFilterRules.dat  Sent  Trash

So, you can backup your other account too.

Now, to import it to another mail client, if the mail client read mbox format 
(most of them can), just copy the Inbox file (probably rename it to something 
else to avoid conflict) to the mail directory of that client. For example, to 
import those file to my Kmail, I can just do

$> cp Inbox ~/Mail/mozillaInbox

and I will have a folder mozillaInbox in Kmail. 

In respond to other poster, I don't know if outlook reads mbox format. It 
should be able too, if its developers had any sense. I never use outlook, and 
never will.

The only comment I can give you is - I LOVE THE PRINTER. Most definately 
the best inkjet on the market for 'all round' performance. And by god is 
it ever fast - it seems like a laser at times!!! 22 ppm certainly hoons 
along and the quality is brilliant!!!

HOWEVER - I honestly don't think this is the printer you want for Linux :(

It only comes with a simple 'out of ink' indicator at the front, and 
tragically this is its downfall. With 4 ink tanks to choose from, 1 led 
at the front is Epson's huge mistake. Basically, without the Epson 
status monitor, there's no way to tell which ink is out.

And ofcourse, the ESM only runs under windows and won't work through Samba.

In short - if you can hook it up to a Windows box - buy it. This is the 
best printer I've ever worked with bar none.

If you're going to hook it up to Linux - the lack of knowing the status 
of the ink cartridges makes it next to useless.

Re: RH 9 on a stick, er, laptop, and a pcmcia cdrom

Well, I worked at it later last night, and finally Got It.
For anyone reading this, here's what I had to do to get RH 9 to accept a 
PCMCIA-attached cdrom:
0. a) In my laptop's BIOS, I told it to not auto-detect for PCMCIA, 
but to use PCIC emulation.
b) $> sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom

1. The RH install, in spite of detecting pcmcia, defaults it off.
Edit /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia, to "yes". My laptop has an
indsutry-std. Intel, so I added the PCIC. The result looks
like this:
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=i82365
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=

2. I've got an old EXP CD Traveler 2020. The PCMCIA info 
for Linux shows a couple of other EXP cards supported, 
including another, older model of Traveler, so
   a) Open a second xterm, and do 
$> sudo tail -f /var/log/messages
This will let you see new lines appended to the
messages file as they occur. This way, if something
Not Good happens, you'll see.
   b)   Start PCMCIA: 
$> sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start
   c)  Enter $> cardctl ident
What I got was 
Socket 0:
  product info: "EXP", "CD+GAME", "C2"
Socket 1:
  no product info available
   d) edit /etc/pcmcia/config as necessary. What I did was
to simply copy the entry for the older Traveler,
then change it to match the output from the last
command. That is, here's the original, and the
cloned entry:

card "EXP Traveler 620 CD-ROM"
  version "EXP", "CD+GAME", "C1"
  bind "ide-cs"
  
card "EXP Traveler 2020 CD-ROM"
  version "EXP", "CD+GAME", "C2"
  bind "ide-cs"

   e) Since you've done all this editing of config files, 
stop PCMCIA services: 
$> sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia stop
and then start 'em again:
$> sudo /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start 

At this point, what you should see in the messages is something like this:

/dev/cdrom   /mnt/cdromudf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

We're done. Users can mount CD's too, not just root.

OK, those seems to be a more viable solution. Just kill the rsync after an 
hour, regardless how much data get transported. 

Will 'killall rsync' do it? Since of course I don't want to get up at 3 AM in 
the morning to kill rsync. If not, then a script needs to be written to get 
the pid and kill it, which I am not on how to do it just yet.

Thanks for all who replied. but certainly if anyone else think of something 
cool would be greatly appreciated.

Do the users want multiple mailboxes or multiple addresses? You can use the 
alias file in sendmail to give people multiple addresses. Then they can 
filter messages in the mail client if they want them sorted out. This is 
very easy to manage and very flexible.

I think that there's probably been a mis-communication here.  If I
understand the original poster correctly, he's not actually trying to do
dydns.  What he is probably doing is WINS over TCPIP, which typically
uses a local dns server on the Windows server to serve up the computer
names.  Windows clients that are set for dhcp automatically update the
WINS database, which can then be set up to update the local dns server.

I don't have an answer for you, but I hope that the problem is now more
clear.
