You can change the software date/time with the date command. You can change your CMOS clock with the hwclock command, or possibly the clock command -- it depends on the version of Debian you're using. Check out the man pages on these programs. You can keep your clock forever synchronized using the xntp3 package, if your machine is connected to the Internet. Jeff -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

LPRng and Magicfilter

Re: Settup Majordomo
I have the same directory permission as you, but I need to be group majordom in order to excute anything. I don't know how to find my setuid for the wrapper, if you can tell me exactly how I can't find it! I think it's set to majordom. Here is a copy of my Makefile. # current directory (where you unpacked the distribution) W_HOME = /usr/local/majordomo-$(VERSION) # Where do you want man pages to be installed? MAN = $(W_HOME)/man # You need to have or create a user and group which majordomo will run as. # Enter the numeric UID and GID (not their names!) here: W_USER = 1004 W_GROUP = 1004 # These set the permissions for all installed files and executables (except # the wrapper), respectively. Some sites may wish to make these more # lenient, or more restrictive. FILE_MODE = 644 EXEC_MODE = 755 HOME_MODE = 751 # If your system is POSIX (e.g. Sun Solaris, SGI Irix 5 and 6, Dec Ultrix MIPS, # BSDI or other 4.4-based BSD, Linux) use the following four lines. Do not # change these values!
