Re: how to direct received mail directly to the home dir??
We have been using procmail. We first compiled procmail with delivery to home directory $HOME/.mail. We then configured sendmail to use procmail as the local delivery agent. Then compiled qpopper (or other POP server) to pick up mail from $HOME/.mail. It has worked fine for us the past couple of months. I've never tried using deliver or mail.local to do this, but I'm pretty sure it can be done. .ronn On Mon, Aug 03, 1998 at 07:17:17PM -0300, Carlos Carvalho wrote: I'd like to set things up so that incomming mail goes directly to the user home dir, instead of sitting in /var/spool/mail.

Re: Win95 Dialin Client Config

Re: Win95 Dialin Client Config
First you want to make sure the the WINS server is running. I've had plenty of experiences where WINS just died for no apparent reason. Next make sure in DUN that they specify the WINS server(s) in the TCP/IP config. Next make sure that they have Logon to Network in DUN checked. This way they logon to the WinNT Domain and have all the rights and permissions as if they were on the local LAN.

Re: problem with nis and shadow

SHADOW PASSWORDS The Linux libc5 does not support shadow NIS maps. If you are dependant on libc5 applications, do not use shadow NIS maps. Instead you can use the method below: 4.1 SHADOW-LIKE SECURITY You can provide shadow-like security by mangling the password for NIS lookups of pasword-file entries. Read the manpage for ypserv.conf and read the comments in the sample /etc/ypserv.conf. 4.2 REAL SHADOW SUPPORT Libc6 has real shadow support for NIS builtin.
