[SLUG] Task bar under KDE
Umm, does anyone know how to get the taskbar in KDE back?
Rather, is their a keyboard way to invoke it?

[SLUG] Email, internet gateway.
Hi, I am having a small problem which should be easy to sort out by someone with the know how. I have three linux machines and a windows PC or two. Each of the Linux machines run Redhat 6.2 and the windows PC is 98. 1. is a Linux machine and is a server for a software product that we supply. 2. is a linux machine on the same network and acts as in internet gateway, email server (dialup connection) (works fine for all the PCs that use it for internet and email) 3. is a linux machine at a remote site that I want to dial into number 1 and act as a gateway for the windows PC to connect to our software (on 1) and also to access email and the internet on number 2. I currently have the windows PC dialing into number 1 and using our software but by putting in a linux machine (3) I can then have two windows PC's using the one dialup connection via 3 to access our software and also email and the web. I know it would be slow but thats not the issue here. OK. I have played around with routing a bit but am having a few problems when it comes to one linux machine dialing into another and acting as a gateway for email etc. Does that all make sense?? anyway, if someone could help by giving me some tables showing ip addresses and what routes should be set up on what machines I would very much appreciate it. (just make up some ip addresses and I will adapt) any static routes or the rest would be appreciated also. I really don't have a clue how to do this. I have set up a trial at work and can dial into the remote linux machine from one linux machine and browse the web etc and from my PC I can ping the linux machine but not the remote one.\\ thanks in advance Alister -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Hmm, quick answer
I would set 1 & 2 as being on net 192.168.1.0, say ip 192.168.1 &
192.168.1.2
We will also use 192.168.1.3 as the IP to be allocated to the modem line
on 1
I would set 3 & PCs as being on 192.168.2.0, say ip
192.168.2.1/2/3/.
So gateway for all other PCs on 2nd network is 192.168.2.1 \, which is
three.
3 has a NET entry for 192.168.2.0 as its eth0 (192.168.2.1)
3's default routing entry is set up when it's ppp runs and will be the
IP given to it when it dials into 1, which will thus be 192.168.1.3
Now 1 can be set up a couple of ways.
Set your default route to be 192.168.1.1
And you way to Net 192.168.2.0 to be 192.168.1.3
Netmask for everything is 255.255.255.0

Thanks.
The first use is not a positive use as I want to stop them paying for
proprietary closed source software by showing that there is open source
software available to do this..
Then they are going to have to decide they want to actually do this.
They are currently taking a survey on computer skills, which I can kinda
of predict already - lack of skills might kybosh the whole idea. Some of
the people haven't mastered the typewriter yet and the concept of a
contacts database in a computer is a totally foreign language. "Why
can't you keep it in a (paper) notebook?"
Then they are going to have to work out a way of uniquely identifying
each person and implement that. Umm, glaciers will move faster.
On the otherhand, it also has some linux geeks and is setting up a
structure of expert advisors. So we might be able to lever everything
towards open source.

ouch. you must right C code, right? ;)
in the interests of code conservation:
#! /usr/bin/perl
open(TEMPLATE, shift) or die "Can't open template: $!\n";
{ local $/ = undef; @sigs = split(/\n\n/s, <>); }
while() {
s/%QUOTE%/$sigs[rand(@sigs)]/e;
print;
}
if you take the template from stdin (which is probably a good idea),
then you can get rid of the open() line too.

ok thanks, folder-hook is the one, but...
I've had to stop postfix setting the From/Sender header (was set
in the canonical file) but mutt doesn't seem to set those fields.
My .muttrc has (ignoring the folder-hook bit for a minute):
set [EMAIL PROTECTED]
my_hdr From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
my_hdr Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
my_hdr Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
But trying to send email outside my system gives the error:

relay=local, delay=0, status=sent ("|/usr/bin/procmail")
Now is it referring to the Sender or From header? (note: "Reply-To:"
and "From:" get set ok just not "From" (without the colon) and "Sender").
cos in the example email they're both "davidf@spiral" and no matter
what I set in my .muttrc I can't get them set to anything else.
A related annoying thing is that hitting reply (in mutt) to my own
test message comes up with davidf@spiral in the To header - meaning
even if these emails did get out, people wouldn't be able to reply.

Exactly. The "From (without the colon)" is your envelope address, and must be set accordingly. If you have a real world recognisable name, you can use it in the "myorigin" setting in postfix (which defaults to $myhostname.$mydomain). If you don't, you can set this to your isp's hostname (leaving your own myhostname and mydomain intact). "However, it's not that simple." If you do that, all of your mail will be sent out with the envelope set to your isp's hostname, and with postfix, it means that everything will be rewritten thus. Think... root@spiral -> [EMAIL PROTECTED] Not good. So, you need to mangle the transport for at least a few addresses. root, hostmaster, postmaster, etc. Plus any other local accounts. The documentation at postfix.org is really good. Great, even. First thing to read is the postfix anatomy, then get into the configuration stuff. - Jeff -- "People you know and trust can still have stupid mail clients." - Dave Kempe -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] pppd over null modem cable?
Hi all, Basically when I run pppd on both machines I dont get an interface, ie `ifconfig -a' doesnt show any ppp ifaces According to the PPP howto it is very easy, but alas pc1 /dev/ttyS0 |===| /dev/ttyS0 pc2 null-modem cable Test connectivity: run getty -L 38400 /dev/ttyS0 on pc2 run minicomon pc1 with appropriate options set --> get a login -- OK remove getty, try to set up pppd: on pc1 /usr/sbin/pppd noauth crtscts lock \ 192.168.101.3:192.168.101.4 /dev/ttyS0 38400 on pc2 /usr/sbin/pppd noauth crtscts lock \ 192.168.101.4:192.168.101.3 /dev/ttyS0 38400 (and many variations on this...)

[SLUG] One floppy Linux Presentation System
Hello Folks
I need to do a 20 minute presentation and I've been graciously offered
Powerpoint - nuff said!

So I'm wondering if anyone has already done this and would share what
they used and how they did it.
I know of I nice little text based presentation tool, but some line
drawing would be idea.

Thinking laterally; exim has an /etc/email-addresses file, which contains lines like thus: jaq: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exim reads this file, and mangles outgoing mail accordingly, so all my messages which would have gone out as jaq@willow go out as you would expect them to.

Only, now it's a Windows machine. It too is poopie. Anyway, yes, I was going to mention that it's easier in exim.

First thing to > read is the postfix anatomy, then get into the configuration stuff. that's all well and good and is what I have been happily doing until now (again see my original post, I described this). The problem is doing all this stuff is in postfix, not mutt, which means I cannot change it automatically every time I want to use a different email address (without changing postfix's config, as root, and restarting it every time I go into a specific mutt mailbox and want a different email address to appear in the mail headers). But you seem to be saying in your last paragraph that I have to set it in postfix as well? but how does postfix know which mailbox I'm in? it doesn't, can I make postfix set a different >From depending on the From: header or something? is that what you're saying?

Ah, and decide whether the venue/time/day of week are the most suitable. I'd also like to call for anyone interested in giving a 30min talk on something Debian related.
