G'day all... I'm wondering how you can change windows attributes on files under Linux. (The files are being served to MS Windows clients using Samba 2.2.6) I've had some problems with desktop.ini not being marked as hidden where it should be. I'd like to be able to set the hidden attribute on

[SLUG] Postfix: virtual_alias_maps - virtual_maps

G'day all, Just in case this affects anyone here... The postfix documentation (http://www.postfix.org/rewrite.html) states that virtual address aliasing is achieved via the parameter virtual_alias_maps for /etc/postfix/main.cf, when it should actually be virtual_maps. This caused me some
