I would like to know how to give mount priviliege to a common user, as I
gave execute permission with chmod It still says "only root can do that"
Any help?

How I got my mail out of Outlook 2000 and Outlook Express 5 into GNU/Linux
without special tools By Dan Jacobson 3/2001
===============================================================
Below is me commenting on my earlier [D>] discussion. Below I've left
the steps a little loose... maybe somebody will polish this up. I
didn't try the IMAP thingy. I did try lots of windows programs
mentioned on webpages, that didn't work...
===============================================================
They say one needs fancy tools to extract ones Outlook 5 mail files
into say a Unix mbox format or whatever. However, I have found a
obscure passageway out.

Can you believe were about to move our stuff from Outlook into Outlook
Express then into GNU/Linux.
Indeed, seemed like they sealed up plain Outlook2000 pretty good, but
wait, in Outlook Express I noticed I could "import" my plain Outlook
folders! Ah ha! Be sure to rename any Outlook Express folder of the
same name before you do this, else plain Outlook messages will be
copied into it alongside your original messages. Yuck.
Import steps were: [using the letter symbols, because I don't know
what the original English names are because I use the Chinese
version.] File (F)>I>E, select 'Microsoft outlook' (S), Messages,
select the plain Outlook folder to integrate or all, note that you will get
you messages intermingled with Outlook Express messages unless you first
renamed you Outlook Express folders. Yuck.
[brief interlude of me banging around inside the maze that they thought
they had sealed up:]

D> multi file attachment.... and save this unsent mail to disk.
D> Indeed, it has a long attachment with your files uuencoded! we are
D> almost home!
To reiterate: Still in Outlook Express, select the folder of interest,
and select find: Edit (E)>F>M, now search for everything, e.g., by
checking all items 'earlier' than 'now', now all items are added to
the found set, then select them all: Edit (E)>A.
Now pick Mail(M)>A to 'send them all as attachments' [devious or
what?!], now choose File (F)>A to save this letter with its many
attachments as a file. [Don't pick "save the attachments" (V) as that
will create a mess, especially with same Subject lines...]
Save this file as whatever.eml . [Inside this file one can see that the
messages are also uuencoded .eml files.]

More on our next episode. Anyway _maybe_ one would just $ cat * >
becomes_a_new_unix_mailbox_format_file [but add "Lines:" first, see
below] but I will see how gnus deals with the separate files on our
next episode.
ok, in this episode I had already behind the scenes put those files
where gnus wants them (see news:gnu.emacs.gnus to learn about gnus,
I'm not going to go into detail here, as I'm not too qualified.)
However, the ones from Outlook were missing the "Lines", as well as
were some of those from Outlook Express,
#now in shell,
#see which are lacking the ^Lines line
set -x
for i in ~/Mail/mail/*o*
do
cd $i
ls|wc -l
grep ^Lines: *|wc -l
done
of my 1 Outlook Express box and 2 Outlook boxes, I found
messages vs. "Lines:" header found
904 906 mail/my_oe_posts
850 5 mail/outlook_inbox
1336 906 outlook_sent_mail
Therefore I will add the Lines header of some messages with:
set -ex #-e because dangerous if mistype
# Add "Lines:" header lines to already extracted individual
# former outlook messages and strip DOS carriage returns too.
# Below I use dos2unix which just removes DOS carriage returns
# I found it on my Mandrake Contributions CD, 10Kbytes
# dos2unix-3.1-6mdk.i586.rpm
T=/tmp/addlines
F=~/Mail/mail/outlook_inbox
#F=~/Mail/mail/outlook_sent_mail
#F=~/Mail/mail/my_oe_posts
mkdir $T
cp -p $F/* $T #or do dir dir...
cd $T
set +e
for i in *
do
dos2unix $i #strip carriage returns
sed '/^$/q' $i|grep -q "^Lines:" && continue
set `sed -n '/^$/{=;q;}' $i` `wc -l $i`
body_lines=`expr $2 - $1 + 1`
ed $i <<EOF
$1i
Lines: $body_lines
.
w
q
EOF
done #ed did add newlines to the end of a few files, ok, i suppose
diff -b $F $T
#now cautiously move them back over the old ones, and do
# (nnml-generate-nov-databases-1 "~/Mail/mail/outlook_sent_mail/")
# (nnml-generate-nov-databases-1 "~/Mail/mail/outlook_inbox/")
# (nnml-generate-nov-databases-1 "~/Mail/mail/my_oe_posts/")
# inside gnus
Anyways, In gnus I now see
838: nnml:mail.outlook_inbox
902: nnml:mail.my_oe_posts
1324: nnml:mail.outlook_sent_mail
probably because I have
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnml "")))
in .gnus.el . But I forgot. I haven't done the stuff in Info "File:
gnus, Node: To From Newsgroups" yet.

IIRC, the first option in xconfig is 'Code Maturity Options, Prompt
for development code/drivers'. I believe you need to answer Y here to
enable the Rfs option later in the config.

Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2001 16:30:17 GMT
I'm having a bizarre problem on a friend's Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 system:
after a KDE session, when shutting down the computer via the "Shutdown..."
button on the GUI login screen, the "Shutdown or Restart" dialog box does
not respond to mouse clicks. It is necessary to use the keyboard to select
the desired option and press the "OK" button. Everything else on the screen
seems to respond normally, one can still select a user and log into another
KDE session with no apparent problem.
This only occurs after completing a KDE session. If one boots up to the
graphical login screen and immediately selects "Shutdown..." the dialog
box responds normally to mouse clicks.
Current COL 2.3 updates for XFree86 and KDE have been installed. The kernel
is generic 2.2.18 with Win4Lin patches. (The problem also occurs with the
original 2.2.10 Caldera kernel.)
This is an annoying, if non-fatal problem. Anyone else run into this
and find a solution? (I've checked the Caldera knowledge base and
poked around in a few other places and haven't yet found anything...)

What I suspect is happening here is that /bin/sh and /bin/bash are
bash-1.14.x (as appears on RedHat 6, for example). The ((...))
compound command was not implemented until bash-2.0.

And I suspect you're getting a different version of bash (>= bash-2.0)
here.

Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2001 17:05:39 GMT
I'm having a bizarre problem on a friend's Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 system,
after exiting a KDE session, the mouse goes "funny in the head" until
the X server is restarted. (I previously reported this as a problem
with the "Shutdown" dialog box, but playing around with the system some
more I'm seeing other effects, so I issued a cancel and am posting this
description instead.)
What seems to happen is this: One boots the system up into the graphical
login screen and everything appears to work OK. Log in and start a KDE
session. Run some apps (or not), everything seems fine. Log out, back to
the GUI login screen. Now things get a little funny with mouse clicks.
The screen may not respond to mouse clicks at all. Part of the screen might
respond and other parts might not. One might click on a particular item on
the screen and have something completely different respond to the mouse click.
I've also seen this kind of behavior on this system when switching from
X to a virtual console screen and back.
Restarting the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace returns mouse reponse
back to normal.
Current COL 2.3 updates for XFree86 and KDE have been installed. The kernel
is generic 2.2.18 with Win4Lin patches. (The problem also occurs with the
original 2.2.10 Caldera kernel.)

Using gcc?!
If you must, you can make this work using the "-fwritable-strings" flag.
The gcc info pages say:
: `-fwritable-strings'
: Store string constants in the writable data segment and don't
: uniquize them. This is for compatibility with old programs which
: assume they can write into string constants. The option
: `-traditional' also has this effect.
:
: Writing into string constants is a very bad idea; "constants"
: should be constant.

I've been looking for more documentation about bounix -Back Orifice client
for Linux.
I tried version 1.2 and 1.3 with timeouts as the only result. The Windows
clients I'm using are funtioning fine though, so it has to be a
configuration thing. Since I live outside the US, I don't use 3DES but XOR..
Bounix does not seem to be able to make a difference between those two.
Unless their is more to configure.
ANy idea ?
