dial-up problems
I am using RH 7.1. I have configured two dial-up accounts using the dial-up config tool provided by redhat. If I use rp3 to dial in into any account, host resolving works without any need for me specify any nameserver. Now, I understand that rp3 is a wrapper for wvdial. If I try to dial into those accounts by using wvdial account_name the computer will make the connection, it will authenticate but something like ping mail.yahoo.com will return an error that the hostname does not exist. Another part of the problem is that the second ISP says nothing about the IP address of their namserver. Any idea on how to make host resolving work without editing /etc/resolv.conf ? -- I can't hear you.

Doesn't close down cleanly (again, like much of the rest of KDE) because the programmers assumed if you wanted _anything_ from KDE to run, you wanted all of it. So, useless processes are left behind after closing. Maybe you don't understand the way KDE works. Let me shed some light here. KDE 2.x doesn't start slower then GNOME, for intsance, and it brings up enough processes to support whatever could possibly be loaded afterwards from the KDE suite. All those processes, though memory consumers, are intended to speed up app loading (only for ones that come with KDE). Loading and unloading means lost time, so the processes are only fired up once, on startup, and then "recycled". Those processes become useless if, for example, Konqueror, si started from say... twm or any other window manager and not from within the KDE desktop.

fetchmail problems...
I'm using fetchmail 5.5.0-3 and I seem to have a problem when retrieving mail from a POP3 server: the retrieved massges are not deleted from the server, this made the mailbox on my ISPs server fill up quite fast. The symptoms that made me think about that were that some friends of mine complained that sometimes they received an error from the server where it was stated that the mailbox was full, and the last one was that I could get only one message at a time. I called my ISP and he too said that my mailbox was full. my .fetchmailrc looks like this: poll ispsserver timeout 60 proto pop3 user "username" pass "my_paswwd" Is there something wrong with it ?

These rumors are inaccurate and Microsoft and Hotmail would like to set the record straight by focusing on the facts. Facts about Hotmail Hotmail is the fastest growing e-mail service in the history of the industry. The service has 16 million members, and is growing by 80,000 per day, according to Steve Douty, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Hotmail. Solaris is one of several operating systems in use. So is WindowsNT Server. Hotmail was designed to be a massively scalable Web site. Solaris is Hotmail's legacy production operating system, but Hotmail had to customize the filestore service as well as the IP stack because off the shelf Solaris could not scale to meet demanding performance requirements. Long term, Hotmail is committed to moving to WindowsNT Server. However, wholesale migration to WindowsNT Server has not yet been attempted. The Hotmail team is currently focused on growing its services and integrating with The Microsoft Network. Significant planning and preparation are required to migrate a 24X7 operation. Microsoft does not advise customers to rip and replace Unixbased systems because this is not the way to migrate missioncritical systems. Migrating to WindowsNT Server will be carefully planned so as to not disrupt services for Hotmail's huge and growing membership base. Microsoft's e-mail servers offer scalable webbased e-mail solutions. For example, Microsoft Exchange provides a rich set of capabilities for Web users beyond e-mail, including calendaring, contacts (with 5.5 Service Pack 1), public folders and directory. The capabilities are core to our product offerings and will be enhanced in the future. Microsoft Commercial Internet System is a highly scalable WindowsNT Server based platform for commercial Internet services. MCIS provides excellent messaging capabilities for commercial service providers and online communities. WindowsNT Server is a true multipurpose operating system. Enterprise computing depends on scalability, manageability, and reliability, as well as low cost of ownership. WindowsNT Servers delivers on all three while providing builtin underlying services that today's distributed applications require. Last Updated: Monday, March 01, 1999 2001 Microsoft Corporation.

Re: installing imp.tar.gz
On Thu, 8 Feb 2001, Jerry Human wrote: Hi Gentlemen: Would it be possible to write a script that would do this automatically for any new package install? For instance, if the script was called "ump" you would type "ump package name and it would insert the package name into the command "tar -xzvf package name.tar.gz; cd package name; less README" in the appropriate places, execute and leave you in the README for that package. That would eliminate a lot of repetitivly typing long package names, eliminate typing mistakes, always use the same command eliminating the "I forgot to ..." and "I should have ..." mistakes, and always start the README file to be scanned before "corrupting" a new package with incorrect parameters. Thanks. You can alias the "tar -xzvf pack" command to something as "untargz pack". You put this alias in .bashrc The line you put there is this alias untargz="tar -xzvf" As for that thing of typing the name of the package, bash has autocompletion.
