Re: [SLUG] how to wireless
am newbie using fc3 have down loaded prism54 driver have got so far in install says stuff about kernal tree dont know what to do help greatly appreciated if i remember correctly, fc3 comes with a 2.6.9 kernel, which should already have the prism54 driver. it is very likely that the driver is already compiled in as a module. if this is so, you can try to load the driver with: # modprobe prism54 from there you can use the wireless tools (iwconfig, etc.) or whatever gui equivalent fedora provides to configure the wireless device. -- Vino Fernando Crescini [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cit.uws.edu.au/~jcrescin Scanned by SCIT E-Mail Gateway http://www.cit.uws.edu.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Postgresql case-insensitive mishmash brain twister.
Thanks Gus I solved it with a dump/initdb --locale=/load. Possibly not the deb-done-thing? I will get our friendly local deb-head to fix it all nicely on return from Hols. Works a treat.

[SLUG] Local DNS Issue
Hi, I used to be able to get access to my linux box (mandrake 10.1) by just calling it by its name. I have always been able to do this without any config on the clients or the box (well except for 'hostname blah') But now i cannot seem to do that. The clients dont know about the linux box's name. Why isnt the box broadcasting its name to the other puters now? It *was* working, then all of a sudden, the next day it wasnt... and i didnt change any settings and security isnt set real high on the box (mandrake security setting) Any ideas??

[SLUG] POP IMAP
Hi I've googled the wee-smalls. I've asked SuSE support who said Go Hops, this is not a free installation question, just like google said they would. So in desperation ... I have SuSE 9.2 pro installed (9.1 was the same) SquirrelMail, Evolution POPing wont work. Reason is that SuSE have disabled plain-text-passwords in pop and imap daemons. I proved this by compiling RH9 src rpm, installing imapd, pop3d and all is well. The only nagging wurry is sending plaintest from all around the world for SquirrelMail (yes! I do) So can anybody enlighten me as to what one ought to be doing to get this working. I use evolution locally as a secondry mailer for attachments with POP, shock-horror-gasp I use elm, without meta-mail as the main mailer, and IMAP for SquirrelMail.

This is not quite true however: a) My daughter, hiking the Inca trail, stops at an internet cafe in a tiny villege 4000m up the Peruvian alps, to get her mail (this is true) types her password into the browser, and it's probably safe in a benign environment, but this is not secure in a hostile environment. b) I use evolution to read mail attachments, but dont want to interfere with my mbox, so I pop the mail from this machine (which is also my mail server) to do so. What I'm trying to discover is how SuSE intended their pop and imap daemons to work in this sort of enviroment, or how could they distribute an unworkable SquirrelMail ?

Since Dean mentioned HTTP SSL (https) already, can we assume what you're worried about here is keystroke logging or something of the kind? https will protect the browser to server connection. -Mary -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
