Re: Clamav
I have this feeling that most people are missing the point of why CLAMAV is a useful tool. If you do it to protect yourself against a virus then that's the wrong reason. We can debate this till we're blue in the face, but AFAICT there is no threat of a virus against anything other than Windows. I started running my home sendmail server and all was good. Then someone invented spam and things have escalated ever since. My sendmail installation now runs spamassassin from spamass-milter and I reject all messages that are tagged as spam before reception completes. I used to run a bunch of RBLs from inside sendmail but I learned that spamassassin never got the opportunity to *learn* from the rejected messages, so now all the RBL activity is enabled from inside spamassassin. I added the tests to use CLAMAV from inside spamassassin, not to protect myself from viruses, but as an adjunct to being able to decide what is spam and what is not. If there's a virus in the message then it simply counts as a contributory weight to my decision to reject it. In addition, there are messages that spamassassin has not caught but I found a dandy tool called scamp that adds another 20+K signatures to the clamav database. The scamp stuff is not looking for viruses but it does a good job of picking up a lot of spam that the rest of the system might miss. I don't know why, but people love to think all computers are susceptible to viruses, but more viruses target windows because there are more of them. There may be a virus out there that could hurt a linux of os/x platform, but I haven't seen one yet. At least not since the Morris Worm of '81? Windows gets viruses because they are architecturally open to such things. People who run Windows tend to run with full admin privs. Windows has gone out of their way to make programs that run under DOS be compatible with running under Windows 7. And last but not least, people who run Windows are frequently not even aware of the concept of the difference between code and data. It's an attachment. You just *open* it. And *opening* an attachment could be a jpg that is displayed with something trusted or running some nasty binary that could do literally anything. So yes, I run clamav and it does good things for me. -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.

I appreciate the response but this doesn't really help: * The file in question is in /usr/lib which happens to be a place where no amount of misconfiguration could possibly cause the library to be not found. * The message says that dlopen can't find it and it even lists the places that it's looking. * And BTW, the permissions on the file are the same as every other file in /usr/lib. I'm still open to more suggestions. :-( -- Time flies like the wind. Fruit flies like a banana. Stranger things have .0. happened but none stranger than this.

Looking for advise on a special grub setup.
I have two hard drives which look like this: FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda6 9.4G 1.5G 7.5G 16% / /dev/sda11 85G 45G 36G 57% /g /dev/sda10 30G 6.1G 23G 22% /h /dev/sda5 30G 21G 7.6G 74% /home /dev/sda8 1.9G 36M 1.8G 2% /tmp /dev/sda9 9.3G 4.7G 4.1G 54% /e /dev/sda2 31G 19G 9.9G 66% /var /dev/sda3 31G 9.4G 20G 33% /usr /dev/sdb1 294G 244G 36G 88% /d2 /dev/sda1 479M 52M 403M 12% /boot tmpfs 1.5G 472K 1.5G 1% /dev/shm I just bought a new 1T SATA drive to add to the mix, and here's what I'd like to do (but I don't understand how to do it). I want to add the new drive as a third disk so that the system will continue to boot off of sda. I'm current;y running F10 in 32 bit mode. After I add the new drive, it will be seen as sdc, and I will want to install F12 in 64 bit mode on sdc. Q0: Can I tell the install DVD to install on sdc and to leave sda alone? Q1: Is it possible to have multiple bootable devices? And how do I do this? Next, after I'm thrilled to death that sdc is how I want it to be, I want to make a cutover so that sdc will then become the primary boot device. My understanding is that the four SATA plugs I have on my motherboard are defined so that one (currently sda) is considered to be the primary device. Q2: When I do a cutover, do I have to switch the cables on the new sdc and what is now sda? Will the new drive end up being referred as sda and the now current sda become sdc? Q3: Is there a grub command I need to run to make the new drive become the bootable device? Or do I have to then reload from scratch to make it all work? Thanks :-) -- Time flies like the wind.

I just bought a new mouse. Can I use all the buttons I paid for?
I just got a Logitech MX620. It has a left, right, middle scroll wheel, the middle scroll wheel rocks left and right, there's another button to the left of the left button, and there are two side buttons, one forward and one aft.

Now we have hal, evdev, imwheel, xbindkeys, and probably more stuff I know even less about. AND, there's nothing in xorg.conf that even vaguely looks like a mouse setup. I'd like the two side buttons to play Back and Forward while in Firefox, and the button to the left of the Left Mouse button to be a Search button in Firefox. I have no idea what a good thing would be to do with the middle scroll wheel in left/right rocking mode. Can someone get me jump started? Or tell me what extra info I need to share?
