RE: [SLUG] Telnet from the Borg
I'm seeing a similar thing now (I just checked on a solaris box with a Win NT telnet) and after I log out, the telnet session is shown as TIME_WAIT I think you just have to wait for the PC to sort itself out. I often use telnet from PCs into various *NIX and have not seen sessions hanging around for very long. I think you might just have to wait for however long it takes for the PC to get a new broadcast or whatever they listen for on LANs. Ahh now it's dropped out (in the time it takes me to write this).

I don't think is is a Borg problem. Typically telnet is started by a supervisory program such as inetd or tcpserver. They should be configured such that they can handle MANY connections, so even during a current telnet session, there should be a LISTENer available for port 23. So, assuming you're using inetd, what does your /etc/inetd.conf say for telnet? Here's one from a RH6.0 (SPARC) system telnet stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd in.telnetd Note the "nowait" word. Is yours the same? The effect of this is that I cannot establish another telnet connection to that port. How can I clear that entry from the netstat table short of rebooting the Linux box? It doesn't seem to want to time out. Reooting the linux box will fix this instance of the problem, but I think you'll need to look at how telnetd is started to fix it properly.

[SLUG] Procmail: Errors for Dupes and Why the Maildirs?
Hey all,
Guess who's playing with their .procmailrc? ;)
I have two things bugging me ATM. The first is the following message
that pops up when I run 'mailstat' on my procmail log:
Total Average Number Folder
- --- -- --
0 0 1 ## procmail: Extraneous locallockfile ignored
36173617 1 Inbox

It always happens when I receive dupe emails.
The second is that whenever I receive email from lists that conform to
the RFC* rule that Anand mentioned that don't already have a mbox
file, procmail builds a Maildir for them (cur/new/tmp). I haven't found
any mention of changing mailbox format preferences thus far...
Here are the relevant parts of my .procmailrc file:
---

[SLUG] a Little more on Vi
About "mousing around" in Windows, The only reason why I feel VI makes editing faster is the fact that you can type a number before any sets of commands, going up 5 lines is quicker in Vi than Windows, other than that .. get with it Linux users :) CTRL ZXCV are the basics, CTRL Arrows (move words at a time), CTRL PageUp/Down = top/bottom of document. Shift CTRL Left/Right Del .. kill a bunch of words, Shift Up/Down Del, kill a few lines .. It's not that bad .. ATM I could 5x faster in Editplus/Ultraedit than VI, and i'm not *that* bad with VI Btw, how can HJKL be faster ? Or is that being used less and less now ? I'm trying to force myself to use the keys (yeh, bind Quake's WASD keys to HJKL) :)) -- Matt Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
