ago the behaviour changed, but here's what happens...
Hmm ... as far as I can recall with xterm/aterm this behaviour for some
commands is the expected/default behaviour. I've looked into it for things
like top et al when launched like so on the desktop from e.g. fluxbox's menu:
aterm +sb -e top -d 2
Pressing q to quit top closes the aterm. Completely. :-(
I have not found a solution for it.
With xterm I would use the -hold option to stop xterm from collapsing like so:
xterm -geometry 144x30 -bg black -fg green -hold -e 'ps auxf'
Thereafter I use the window decoration to close xterm, because no other
keyboard inputs are accepted by it.
Let's say I'm having a problem with packet loss to/from a certain
internet server. I would run mtr which gives an ongoing enhanced
traceroute display. When it gets to the router that's dropping packets
I would hit Q and mtr quits.
That's how it always worked here.
Before the update
=
I would copy/paste the mtr output into an email, and send it off to
whomever, with the output showing the packet-loss stats.
Are you sure you were not previously using the -r option to report the output
on the screen and now you don't?
After the update
As soon as mtr quits, its output gets wiped, and the xterm screen is
restored to the state it was in before mtr was launched... helpful NOT!
try this:
mtr -c 3 -r 123.456.78.90
I've discovered that I can suspend it with {CTRL-S}, but I shouldn't
have to resort to that. Using Google, I found references to
man termcap, which stated that this behaviour was controlled by
entries in /etc/termcap. Despite the fact that I have the termcap man
page on my system, I do *NOT* have /etc/termcap. Does anyone have a
sample /etc/termcap (or will ~/.termcap work?) to stop the screen
restore after a text application quits?
I don't have /etc/termcap here ... and wouldn't know how to use it to be
honest.

[gentoo-user] More adventures with grub2
Just finished using gdisk to convert my MSDOS partition table to a GPT. Worked perfectly on the first try (whew). Rebooted with grub2 to discover that grub2 couldn't see my shiny new GPT :( After holding my head in my sweaty palms for a few minutes, I finally realized that grub didn't automatically load its module called part_gpt, so I used the grub shell to load it, and my new GPT was there after all (whew again). I found and loaded the linux kernel from the root partition, which resides in my new GPT, right? You see where this is going, right? The kernel booted nicely -- and then the panic message appeared, because, what else, I forgot to compile in support for GPT :( So now I'm off to boot my gparted rescue CD and try to chroot to the hard disk so I can compile a kernel with GPT support. If that works I'm taking the rest of the day off. (I'm lying.) Good thing I like this kind of fascinating learning experience.
[gentoo-user] Setting up SMTP relay
Hi there! On my desktop PC, I have set up ssmtp with access data for my mail server, so things like smartmontools or portage can send me emails. This is working fine. But there are other PCs in the LAN, which I would also like to get status emails from. Being not the only one with root access there, I do not want to duplicate the ssmtp setup because of the password stored in ssmtp.conf. Is there an easy solution? Like setting up a simple SMTP server on my desktop PC, that accepts connections from the LAN and forwards mails to my external mail server? I once had courier running, but did not really understand the configuration, and would not really like to set it up again. Or dovecot, which I heard good things about, so I would prefer it now. But maybe the default configuration only needs few changes for my purpose? Or maybe there is another simple tool that does just what I want? It's nothing important, so if there's no simple solution, I'll just skip this and check the logs from time to time. Wonko

Dovecot is only imap and won't accept main directly. 1. install postfix with USE sasl or devecot-sasl, I don't believe it matters which. Add the following lines to the bottom of /etc/postfix/main.cf and fill in your hostname, domain, etc as needed. # local settings myhostname = host.domain.com mydomain = domain.com myorigin = $myhostname inet_interfaces = all mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost mynetworks_style = subnet mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 10.19.20.0/24 smtpd_recipient_restrictions = #reject_non_fqdn_recipient #reject_non_fqdn_sender #reject_unknown_recipient_domain permit_mynetworks reject_unauth_destination permit I commented out some of the checks above. Enable them if they'll work in your environment. I recommend at least reject_unknown_recipient_domain which doesn't allow recipients to domains that don't exist. 2. run sudo newaliases Postfix bitches if the /etc/mail/aliases.db doesn't exist and will hang on start. 3. Verify postfix works, isn't complaining in the logs, etc. Make sure it's up and running. That you can telnet to port 25 from another machine and even send to a local user on your machine. 4. Add the user/pass stuff to the bottom of /etc/postfix/main.cf # relay host and credentials relayhost = [my.external.relayhost.com] smtp_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtp_sasl_password_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl.passwd smtp_sasl_mechanism_filter = digest-md5 smtp_sasl_security_options = noanonymous /etc/postfix/sasl.passwd [my.external.relayhost.com] myusern...@relayhost.com:my_secure_passwd sudo postmap /etc/postfix/sasl.passwd sudo /etc/init.d/postfix restart Things to remember.
