Has anyone seen the Robert X Cringley site? He's doing stuff w/ 802.11b.

The synopsis: he's using satellite  can't get DSL or Cable modem.  So
he finds someone (using a telescope) that can get DSL, gets *them* a
connection, then uses 802.11b (WiFi) with some directional antennas to
connect to the DSL.

He's got some further info on using a booster antenna to go around an
obstacle  hooking into a Starbucks' wireless LAN.

I susbscribe to a few WiFi mailing lists and everybody seems to be in 
agreement that Cringely is BSing on his passive repeater story:

It would be nice, though, if it worked.  I live in Keene and we just got 
Verizon DSL, but you have to be _very_ close to the CO at this point.  I 
live a 1.25 miles out and they say it's too far, but both my parents and my 
sister can get it.  When I first read the article I was all ready to go out 
and buy a second WAP11 and a couple of cans of pringles and set one of 
these up near the radio tower... Oh well...

Linux and e-commerce

2002-02-19 Thread Dan Coutu

Now that I'm free to roam the wild prairie (figuratively, no prairie in 
New Hampshire eh?) I can spend some time investigating what is available 
related to e-commerce on Linux systems. I've spent the past four years 
making e-commerce sites on Solaris systems using large commercial 
packages. Now it is time to broaden my horizons and have some fun while 
I'm at it.

So let me ask if anyone has any experience, or even war stories, related 
to use of Linux for e-commerce. I'm sifting through places like 
Freshmeat etc. to track down known packages. What I'm asking for is the 
inside poop that folks may know from the experience of themselves or 
others. I figure if I can minimize the expense of e-commerce then maybe 
more people could use it, and hopefully that would help me to make a 
living too!

Thanks in advance,

KDE Question

2002-02-19 Thread Paul Lussier


Hi all,

I'm mucking about with KDE (KDE2 I think). I'm having a little 
trouble figuring out how to accomplish certain tasks.  For example:

- I have xmms playing, but it's only in one of my workspaces.  Since it 
  has no borders, I don't seem to be able to make it sticky

- I have the Desktop Pager running, but want to get rid of 
  the decorations, but that doesn't seem to be an option anywhere

- The desktop pager seems to be unconfigurable wrt rows and 
  columns.  I seem to only be able to get 1 row x X columns
  of workspaces.  How can I configure this, or, is there a 
  better desktop pager available?

- When I iconify apps, I expect to see icons, hence the 
  term iconify, but I don't, the apps just seem to 
  disappear, and are only accessible again through the WinList applet.

- I have mouse button-3 (the right one) configured as
  Custom Menu 1, but can't seem to figure out how to 
  Customize it and add apps to it, any ideas?

Thanks,

You've probably noticed by now that XMMS has an option Do

Paul,

When apps are iconified, they show up on the panel at the bottom of the 
screen.  That's its default location; it can be changed.  From there 
they can be maximized, closed, moved to a different desktop,...

There are a lot of customization options in the Control Center, 
particularly under the Look  Feel section.

Feel free to email me if you have KDE-specific questions that might not 
be Of General Interest.  I'm running KDE2.2.2, but there aren't huge

Encrypted NFS over SSH

2002-02-19 Thread plussier


Don't know if anyone here gets SysAdmin magazine, but the most recent 
issue (March 2002) has a fantastic article on how you can set your 
NFS server and clients up to use SSH to NFS mount filesystems and 
force both user/host authentication in the process.

The amusing part is that this will only work with a Linux-based NFS 
server, because of the need to do port-forwarding and the mount/
umount commands need to support a port option.  *BSD and Solaris the 
author points out, don't have this support, but Linux does :)

The article seems to be on-line here:

http://www.samag.com/documents/s=4072/sam0203d/sam0203d.htm

GPG and different mailers

2002-02-19 Thread plussier


Hi all,

I've been playing around with Evolution lately and in general I'm 
impressed (as far as one can be with an overly graphical, 
eye-candy-based Outlook clone :)

One thing I noticed though was that it's support for GPG seems to be 
lacking.  The 2 areas I noticed had problems were:

- you can not locate your .gnupg directory anywhere other 
  than your home directory, there seems to be no way to 
  configure this.

  This is bad, especially if your homedir is NFS mounted and 
  you don't trust your network (which I never do, even when 
  I'm the one admin'ing it!)

- When trying to verify signed e-mail, it seems to always fail,
  yet the exact same e-mail in a different mail client (exmh)
  succeeds in then authentication.

  I've so far verified this with multiple e-mails sent to 
  this list which I've read under both Evolution and exmh.
  Evolution fails every time, exmh succeeds every time.

Does anyone have any insight to these issues?

Thanks,

Re: Encrypted NFS over SSH

2002-02-19 Thread John Abreau

[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Don't know if anyone here gets SysAdmin magazine, but the most recent 
 issue (March 2002) has a fantastic article on how you can set your 
 NFS server and clients up to use SSH to NFS mount filesystems and 
 force both user/host authentication in the process.
 
 The amusing part is that this will only work with a Linux-based NFS 
 server, because of the need to do port-forwarding and the mount/
 umount commands need to support a port option.  *BSD and Solaris the 
 author points out, don't have this support, but Linux does :)

According to the article, the server part will work fine on Solaris; 
it's the client part that only works on Linux, specifically because
NFS over TCP uses two separate ports (for nfsd and mountd), and the
Linux mount command provides options for both (port and mountport).

I tried Evolution a couple months ago, and while it looked nice, it
required a ton of Ximian packages that essentially broke the Redhat
up2date process. It looked like I would have had to abandon Red Hat
and embrace Red Carpet in order to use Evolution.

Re: GPG and different mailers

At some point hitherto, [EMAIL PROTECTED] hath spake thusly:
 
 Hi all,
 
 I've been playing around with Evolution lately and in general I'm 
 impressed (as far as one can be with an overly graphical, 
 eye-candy-based Outlook clone :)
 
 One thing I noticed though was that it's support for GPG seems to be 
 lacking.  The 2 areas I noticed had problems were:
 
   - you can not locate your .gnupg directory anywhere other 
 than your home directory, there seems to be no way to 
 configure this.

You never read any of my documentation, do you?  :) In the GPG Howto
that I wrote up for our group, I covered exactly how to do this,
specifically because of the issue you mention.  For that matter, it's
in the man page.  See the section entitled, ENVIRONMENT in the man
page.  =8^)

   - When trying to verify signed e-mail, it seems to always fail,
 yet the exact same e-mail in a different mail client (exmh)
 succeeds in then authentication.

This may be because Evolution only supports the PGP-MIME method of
signing (I'm not positive this is true, but I think it is), where most
people usually use the clearsign method.  Such messages can be
verified by hand, but it's a pain in the patootie.

At some point hitherto, [EMAIL PROTECTED] hath spake thusly:
 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Note that this is still coming through as ASCII armored, and the MIME
header is INSIDE The PGP block of the message.

 Figured it was just a configuration glitch, since you're playing with
 different mailers.
 
 Yeah, probably was.  I think I fixed it.

I think you didn't.  ;-)
