Earlier this month, I copied a RH72/lilo disk using ghost - no problem, 
except you must use fdisk to manually create the partitions on new disk 
before using Ghost 2003.  After you copy disk with ghost, boot from CDROM, 
run "linux rescue", mount your new file system.  If /etc/fstab uses labels, 
then reinit those using "e2label"; otherwise check/change the disk names 
(they might have changed).  Then update/run lilo, initialize swap 
partition, and reboot to your new disk.

I do this all the time (as do a lot of web based services) by
authenticating using PHP scripts.  You can have sessions in PHP that
time out after a period of inactivity and if someone else tries to use
the page they will have to re-enter the username and password.  You can
allow access to other resources only through the script, though that may
not be possible with some services.


I've done this also.  In this case, I also include META "refresh" tags on 
all pages to "refresh" the client page, but the "refresh" actually presents 
a "you have been logged out" page, just the same as if the user had clicked 
the "logout" option of my menu system.

What's the security issue with VNC? You can run encrypted sessions (like 
ssh).  I think there is a problem with VNC, however.  You would need to 
start 600 instances of the vncserver on the linux box and assign each 
windows client their own port, because (it is my understanding that) VNC 
cannot search for an unused port.  If you need each user to have their own 
VNC password, then I believe this means that you will need to create a 
linux account for each user - and you would need to initiate the vncserver 
for each of these users if the machine reboots.  At least you could 
configure all startup profiles to run your x3270 program!

You could probably use permissions to hide the files until they were
scanned.  Change their permissions after they pass the scan so your users
can see them.

But there is still a requirement to regularly scan even the "visible" 
files. A virus could have been uploaded and made "visible" before scanning 
software is able to detect it.

From what I've read, it appears to depend on what you will do.  If your 
system will be largely inquiry only, with very few updates (or perhaps 
reloaded from outside system), then mysql appears to do the job well 
(perhaps even better than postgresql).  If you need a more dynamic system 
with many updates, then postgresql seems to be chosen more often.

Your best bet might be to install another layer between your application 
and your database, then it is quite easy to switch databases - as long as 
your SQL is standard and database support the version of standard you are

 Could you maybe explain how this would be implemented? A mailing list is
based on the principle that everybody can reply to any message, so every 
reply
is a reply to a message that has "been there". Loop control is usually based
on the principle that you don't reply to a reply to a message you sent by
setting and checking a flag, but I don't see how that could be implemented
here.

Bye,
Leonard.


Loop detection and out-of-office are two completely different problems.  I 
remember one email address that would simply redirect all email back to 
sender; which made it act like the mailing list was subscribed  to itself - 
very nasty - that's what loop detection is for.  To detect loops, an 
additional header is added to all outgoing messages, like:
X-Loop: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then the mailing list software rejects all incoming messages with this header.

I don't know how mailman attempts to handle out-of-office, but majordomo 
simply scans the message headers for regex specified in config file.  An 
entry something like
/^subject:\s*out of office\b/i
should have stopped this mess before it started.

You cannot use your ADSL modem for fax, but you can simply hook your

The 'pathmunge' function ensures that a directory is not included in PATH 
multiple times.  After the line that says:
pathmunge /usr/X11R6/bin after
insert the lines:
pathmunge /usr/local/qt/doc after
pathmunge /usr/local/qt/include after

If you leave off the 'after', then directory will be added to beginning of 
PATH.

Re: Help me to reduce the size

I've heard that there are Linux distro's that fit on a floppy, but I'm
not sure RH is one of them.  You might try a search for floppy based
systems to see how they got the size down.

You mixing mainframes here - CICS was part of MVS systems, I don't think it 
was available on the AS/400 - I think you started to say PC-Support - the 
AS/400 terminal emulation software that provides several options for 
getting data from AS/400 to PC; including:
- interactive file transfer,
- AS/400 can be PC network file server,
- interactive query tool that generates SQL.

Just have the print job directed to a print queue for which no real printer 
exists.  Then go look in the appropriate library on the AS/400 and download 
the report file.  I seem to remember it being that simple (1992-3 for me).

Or, configure PC-Support to be the printer the AS/400 wants and then do not 
actually have a printer on that port (say LPT3, for example) - your PC will 
then have the file in a spool directory somewhere.

Re: Suggestions Needed - AS/400

2002-10-15 Thread Frank Bax

The AS/400 has lots of ways to send data down to a PC - pretending to be a 
printer is the worst option available.

The AS/400 can be a fileserver for a PC network, just have an AS/400 script 
copy the output to a file in this part of the system and PC user can copy 
it just like any other file.

The AS/400 terminal emulation software (called PC-Support in early 1990's) 
has a file transfer facility to download data from AS/400 files to PC 
files.  This process can even be scripted from command line on PC side.

The PC-Support software also provided a GUI interface which generated SQL 
to retrieve data from AS/400 tables that could be downloaded to PC's.

I suspect that what your boss meant to say (or someone told him) was that 
he wants to capture to disk what currently coming out on paper.  This is 
much easier to do if you intercept the process at the time the report is 
generated, not during delivery to printer.  You should equest that the 
print job be altered (or cloned, then altered) to output results to a file 
for download.

I have a lowly P2-233 and (as I recall) a message sent to a majordomo list 
with over 4,000 members goes out in about 4 hours.

It has been my experience that one of these messages is handled by a single 
sendmail queue run.  Starting another queue run will allow send mail to 
process other outgoing messages, but the large message will be 'locked' and 
therefore not processed by the second queue run.  This info based on fact 
that majordomo only puts out a single message to sendmail for each 
received.  If Mailman splits incoming messages into multiple outgping 
messages for sendmail to handle, then multiple queue runs should help the 
situation.

I agree that both sendmail and apache can each handle multiple domains on a 
single ip address (I have one box running these services for a dozen 
domains), but I wonder if that is what Martin is asking exactly.  It sounds 
like he might be saying that mail and web services will be running on 
separate servers, but each of these servers providing those servers for the 
same set of domains, all with a single ip address - I'm pretty sure you 
cannot have two servers answering the same ip address - he would have to 
setup subdomains for 'mail' and 'web', right?

Konqueror user interface

2002-09-05 Thread Frank Bax

We have attempted to go non-Windows with a few PC's in the office.  We have 
a data entry application on our webserver.  One of the users noticed an 
apparent short-coming in Konqueror today.  Most of our data entry is done 
via select boxes.  When using IE, it was possible to tab into a select box, 
type the first character of a valid value in the box to get to the desired 
value (possibly repeated to cycle through multiple entries with same first 
character), then tab out to next field.  The behaviour allowed more rapid 
data entry than using the mouse only.  Is there a configurable option that 
might control/allow this in Konqueror?

usb printer problem

2002-07-23 Thread Frank Bax

I connected a Samsung ML-1210 printer to my usb port and rebooted machine 
running RedHat 7.2.  I used printconf-gui to setup the printer with gdi 
driver.  During this process, /dev/usb/lp0 does manage to present "Samsung 
Electronics" under "model" column, so I'm guessing the usb stuff is working 
properly?  Anyway, the printer doesn't print anything.  The printer does 
make some noise indicating 'warmup', but then nothing.  When I connect the 
printer via parallel cable, it works fine, but I'd really like to know

Actually, LinkSys boxes work the other way around.  You configure a

dhcp client setup on your linux box is not 'required'.  Manual 
configuration of an ip address 192.168.1.xxx works just as well.

Thanks for the prompt response!  I don't know how to find out what port
this is using.  I am using default firewall, but know nothing about it.

printing to print server

2002-02-25 Thread Frank Bax

We have a print server device that connects parrallel cable to CAT5.
http://www.startech.com/ststore/itemdetail.cfm?product_id=PS1100A
This device works fine (although sometimes tempermental) with LPR driver on
NT4 system pointed at LPT1:192.168.1.8 - it doesn't work (yet) with Linux.
I'm not sure what info might be needed to resolve this, but here goes.  I
installed RedHat7.2, then used 'printconf-gui' to add a printer:

RE: slow authentication for ftp and pop3 why

2002-02-23 Thread Frank Bax

Are you sure its the authentication that taking the time, or the
connection?  If you were to telnet/ssh into the box, does it take many
seconds to get the login prompt?  If this is the case, try adding an entry
to /etc/hosts for the machine that is trying to access the box.

Re: delete queued mails

2002-02-20 Thread Frank Bax

No need.  They will go away on their own after 5 days.  Not quite forever.
Otherwise, shutdown sendmail and delete offending file(s) from queue
directory.  I believe there are two or three files for each mailq entry.
Each one of set only has minor differences in obscure filename.  Compare
output of 'mailq' with what you see in queue directory.
