Re: [SLUG] lost eth1 solution
That should be fairly easy - just don't define a gateway for eth0 You should be able to do it by editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 i think. (i think you said you had redhat) or one of the various configuration utilitys for redhat should have it.

[SLUG] Re: Getting a defaultroute to stick - Problem solved
It seems that it was some sort of race condition. I was running adsl-stop;route -n to drop the line and then to look at the routing tables immediately afterwards. Well the debug code in the ip-down.local showed the changes to the routing table (I wss logging them to syslog), but looking at the routing tables immediatly after the adsl-stop did not show the changes. I then tried adsl-stop;sleep 5;route -n and the routing table showed up correctly. I guess the adsl-stop detaches the shutdown process from the terminal and executes it in the background and that I was seeing the routing tables BEFORE they had been updated. It had me confused for a few hours.

RE: [SLUG] lost eth1 solution
in redhat the default route is probably set in it's config file... /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 remove the option GATEWAY (or something) then on boot it'll won't have a default route... -Original Message- From: David Kempe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 25 January 2002 9:03 PM To: Kevin Waterson; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SLUG] lost eth1 solution That should be fairly easy - just don't define a gateway for eth0 You should be able to do it by editing /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 i think.

[SLUG] Missing grey suit jacket
Hey guys, as the subject says, a grey suit jacket I brought to the meeting (25/1/02) has now gone walkabout. I had heard that someone had picked it up at the meeting and brought it to House Of Guangzhou, but me being the forgetful person I am, I forgot to retrieve it *yet again*. So if anyone has any idea of where it has disappeared, could they either email me personally, or call me on my mobile (0416 381 658)? It would be greatly appreciated, and I would be eternally grateful.

[SLUG] IMP Folders not *happening*
Hello, relative newbie here, and appreciative of any help. I'm with a volunteer tech collective and we run IMP v2.2.6. The only folder option is inbox... we're unable to create, rename or delete any folders. when attempting to create a folder, the following error message is given. b>Error: the new folder was not created http://www.horde.org/faq/admin/trouble/index.php#t25 gives a possible explanation: 5.3.4 In IMP, users can't use any folders besides INBOX. The most common problem that results in users being unable to access their mail folders is a misconfigured $default->folders in horde/imp/config/defaults.php3. That variable should be set to the location of a user's personal folders, often "mail/" or "Mail/". It must have the trailing slash. --- The above explanation is not the prob. This file is fine. (Although, we're using /etc/imp/defaults.php3) Anyone have anything else I can try?
