Re: [SLUG] TuxPaint

2003-06-22 Thread Ewing Jeff
Tuxpaint and (the latest) GCompris are my childrens' favourites
(son 5, daughter 3). Each had their own Debian GNU/Linux systems
since 2 y.o. Just upgraded both boxes to Gnome 2.2. They can
happily use their systems unaided. Only drawback the boxes can be
a little slow (P90+64M, P100+64M)(below Gnome min spec.)

Re: [SLUG] Case sensitivity

2003-02-25 Thread Ewing Jeff
 How do I configure Apache to not be sensitive to case of urls/filenames?
 Or is that a bad idea?

LoadModule speling_module ?

Re: [SLUG] read mail from exchange server

2002-04-22 Thread Ewing Jeff

 Dear All:
   This is my first post here. Here is my question: I have 
 installed linux (redhat distro) on my machine at work. However, all 
 emails have to go through an exchange server in my company. 
 How do I get access to the mail server (i.e. both receive and post 
 my mails)??

If the exchange server supports pop3/ldap:

I use fetchmail (pop3) to bring mail back from the exchange
server to the Linux box. I use mutt (Mail User Agent - MUA) to
read the mail. I wrote a small perl script using Net::LDAP to
lookup the exchange address book in mutt. I installed exim (Mail
Transport Agent - MTA) with the smarthost pointing to the mail
exchange server to send the mail. 

A collegue uses mozilla/netscape (a simpler setup), pointing to
the exchange server.  Mozilla/netscape can lookup the LDAP
exchange address book.

Re: [SLUG] gdm displays

2001-02-04 Thread Ewing, Jeff

 
 I have read as much as I could on X, gdm, etc. and still cannot figure out
 how to do it, if it can be done.
 
1) Update /etc/gdm/gdm.conf: 
Ensure in [xdmcp] section, Enable=1
2) Restart gdm on host machine
3) Check gdm access 
From within X, "gdmchooser"
4) On client machine either:
a) outside of X :
"X -query host"
b) within X (requires Xnest ; for debian apt-get install xnest)
"Xnest :1 -query"

Re: [SLUG] Use of DUMP for backup to remote server

2000-12-01 Thread Ewing, Jeff


 I do have a /etc/hosts.equiv on the HP box and that works for
 rsh but may
 not be used by rexec


try using .rhosts file in the root directory on the remote
machine. Make the permissions 400 and the owner root. Not very
secure but should work. Tape device on HP are usually writable by
all, so you could be more secure and use a normal Id with an
.rhosts file the normal users home directory. Make sure that user
owns the file and the permissions are 400.

Re: [SLUG] Strftime

 Is there a %X (where X is a letter) that returns the current

Not sure about strftime but the perl date manipulation module has 
this facility although your C program will become rather bloated
calling perl...may be better rolling your own...

(for Debian: apt-get install libdate-manip-perl)

man Date::Manip
..
%E day of month with suffix - 1st, 2nd,3rd..
