[SLUG] awk scripting help (cvs file to gnats config)
Hello slug ppl,
I was wondering if anyone could help me with a awk script I was writing.
I found this funny thing where a if/else statement in awk process both
the arguments after the if and the else.
The script's purpose is to read a CSV file created by *gulp* Microsoft
Exchange and to create a submitters and addresses file for GNU gnats bug
tracking tool.
here is the portion that I am having trouble with:
x = split($csv_namelu["E-mail Addresses"],emailsplit,"%")
for (i = 1; i = x; i ++) {
if (match(emailsplit[i],/SMTP:[A-Z,a-z]*\.[A-Z,a-z]*@/)) {
print "if was true"
emailaddr = substr(emailsplit[i],6)
emailaddr = tolower(emailaddr)
} else {
print "if was false"
emailaddr = ""
}
the if statement above this with the same match() function works ok.
- yes I checked the brackets match up... um so I'm a little confused
here.
I've attached the script. All it does is parse in some variables so far.
Also attached is the sort of data it reads in from the CSV file (for
those fortunate enough not to have MS exchange anywhere nearby).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Until the time / effort / $$$ are invested to port these to Linux in native format (and a lot of our custom-apps are VB programs, unfortunately), then WINE / EvilWare emulation is at least one way to maybe get some users convinced of the validity of the Linux desktop. Go to the applications developpers instead and ask them to develop for Linux, eg I just rang Lotus to tell them I would buy 22 Lotus Smartsuite if they develop it for Linux (they know I use it as they have me on their database but currently I have a bunch f NT machines ...). I'm in exactly the same boat - I have 15 NT servers, 5 Netware and 2 HP9000's that I manage - the only saving grace is that I can do shit remotely using Citrix Metaframe under Linux, so don't really have a need for NT as such.

Re: [SLUG] network cards
In the past I have used 3 of these cards in 1 PC with no problems. Although it appears these new cards must be a newer revision. I think they said revision D2 on the cards themselves. Which driver are you using? From Netgear's FAQ: (http://www.netgear.com/support/support_fa310tx/fa310tx_faqs.shtml) 1.4 Does the FA310TX work with linux? Yes, we have added linux support recently. The driver is included in version 4.0 or higher driver set. This driver is available for download. It will work with all versions of our FA310 network adapter card. If you have NIC has a version identifier D1 or higher (printed on top right hand corner of the card), please make sure the driver on the supplied driver disk is used instead of the public domain tulip driver. The driver they supply is just a tweaked version of tulip.c from the kernel source, and therefore GPL'ed. This is why my current card is Netgear, and when I put the second one, it probably will be too :-) Get it from http://www.netgear.com/support/fa31v402.exe (Alright, I know. But under the .exe it's just a RAR archive..) See what information we can gather, then I will attempt round number 2. Hope this helps. Peter __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

This sounds like a classic case of misconfigured scan rates in XF86Config.
Check your monitor's configuration _carefully_. Make sure you have both
the vertical and horizontal scan rates configured correctly.
It shounds like you're running the monitor at a scan rate which is _way_
too high for it to deal with - the monitor responds by dropping other
frequencies to compensate, resulting in a smaller screen.
This can actually damage your monitor - so boot to _text_ mode if you can
{if you set up to boot to X automatically, boot it up long enough to
change /etc/inittab and change the default run level to 3, not 5}, or when
lilo comes up type linux single instead of just letting it boot to get to
single user mode and do the same.
Then you can fiddle with your XF86Config and make changes until it works.

Create partition {which you've done}
mkswap /dev/hdaX - replacing X with your partition number.
Edit /etc/fstab and add the correct line - it should look something like
this
/dev/hdaX swapswapdefaults0 0

Creating the partition is the first step, you need to do two other things to make your swap partition work on boot: a) setup the swap space with mkswap - see man mkswap for details b) tell the system you want this to be swap space by adding a line to /etc/fstab. eg.: /dev/sda5 swapswapdefaults 0 0 If you don't want to reboot to activate the swap space you can use the swapon command, "swapon -a" to activate all the swap partitions in /etc/fstab or "swapon device" to activate the swap on a particular device - see man swapon for details (priorities can be useful if you have more than one physical device, or if you're using swap files.) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text

RE: [SLUG] Telstra relaying
That's right. They're not allowing anybody to use they're email server as a mail relay for the reason of spamming.. I'm surprised they have taken so long to do this. My box at home sends mail in a different fashion. I actually mimic another mail server which really is my POP server and send out as that. So if your receiving email address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] then make your mail server send out as if it was that email server. This may end up having problems with some other servers as they check the IP address your connection from and may complain that your servers IP doesn't match the mail server your coming from. Yet, I havn't gotten this problem as yet. People may disagree also to this setup but it works for me so I'm sticking with it until I end up with another problem... which I haven't. thanks, George Vieira Network Administrator Citadel Computer Systems P/L http://www.citadelcomputer.com.au -Original Message- From: Peter Vogel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 15 June 2000 11:19 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [SLUG] Telstra relaying To overcome an intractable problem getting my server talk to one particular other server (hermes.net.au), I have configured sendmail to use postoffice.telstra.net to relay mail to that server.

[SLUG] Dial-in problems
Hi All, I set up a friends computer to allow dial-in to it (mgetty, pppd, rh6.2). It works perfectly the first time. After I hang up and re-dial however the modem answers the phone but instead of a login prompt I get the pppd data stream and the systems fail to connect. Mgetty is respawed from inittab thus, mg:4:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -s 115200 ttyS1 Changing runlevels to 5 and back to 4 fixes the problem and you can dial-in and login for one more try before it screws up again. I made some entries in the crontab to kill pppd every 10 minutes so that I could see if that would "fix" it, but it doesn't, i.e I think that when mgetty is respawed it execs pppd straight away but it doesn't exec it the very first time it is started. Course it all works perfectly on my own computer at home. Any ideas? Pete P.S I'm trying to configure this remotely via the dial in which is proving to be a bit punishing as I can't see what processes are running when the dial-in fails. I then have to wait 24hrs for the system to re-set itself (crontab entry) so that I can dial in again and have another go, ( % jibes_about_my_sanity /dev/null 21) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux Users Group Mailing List - http://www.slug.org.au To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe in the text
Re: [SLUG] Telstra relaying

Does anyone have any suggestions about how I can resolve this? Do what you should ahve done in the first place - either write to the SysAdmin at the destination and ask them for help fixing the problem, or write to the SysAdmin at Telstra, explaining the situation and asking permission to relay via them.

Relaying is a curse invented by the RPC gods to give systems administrators headaches. 1) I am not a religious zealot. I recommend qmail, but my track record on this list will show that my feelings towards other MTAs are "if you're happy with it, then use it" I am against people making incorrect statements which may mislead those with insufficent experience into making a poor decision. You'll also note that I did not mention sendmail in my post. I don't know enough about sendmail to know if it ships with or without open relaying turned on. Therefore you can't assume that I'm saying that qmail is better then sendmail in this case. 2) Relaying is necessary! How else do you expect people to send mail to smart mailers. If they couldn't use the smart mailer, they'd need direct internet connectivity. This is not possible for many computers - especially those behind firewalls which deny them direct internet access. 3) Configuring an MTA correctly requires a certain level of experience. It is not (IMO) something that should be left to novices. 4) You can't read tone into email (unless the author has gone to great lengths to _emphasise_ the WORDS!). 5) Lighten up!

Re: [SLUG] telstra ADSL
hdsl is only being offered in the cbd, roughly from central down to circular quay. if you're serious enough about your server that you require over 600k upload speed (that's pretty high volume) then you should probably be thinking about co-location. for those with the cash there are other alternatives as well. dds has been popular in the past (still is) and frame relay is being rolled out more and more in corporate environments and if you wanted to house your servers on your own site is probably the option you'd consider over dds, given that either way you'll probably be going through telstra.

The idea is that LUGs, University groups, schools, etc. all across the country will be holding InstallFests week after week, sort of like a roadshow, without the marketing and proprietary software. ;) There's a preliminary web page up at http://www.linux.org.au/installfest/ which currently shows LinuxSA and SLUG taking part (Yes, that does mean that we're having an InstallFest in July!) Other LUGs have shown interest too, so we're pretty sure it's going to go ahead. I'm interested in hearing if anyone has some good media contacts we can get on to.

[SLUG] Gnu Tar --files-from=file name option
I have been trying to use a list of files with the --files-from= option of Gnu tar. In particular, I want to be able to change directories before it processes the files in the list. For example, I want to extractfile1 into directory /u01/a andfile2 into directory /u01/b. I set up the file list file like this: -C /u01/a file1 -C /u01/b file2 The file is named extract.cntl From /u01, I use the following syntax to start the extract: tar xvf /dev/nrmt0h -T extract.cntl The result is that both file1 and file2 are extracted to /u01 and not to the correct sub-directories. The GNU tar: an archiver tool documentation describes the operation but does not give any clear examples. Can anyone help. Thanks, Dennis

Re: [SLUG] Mozilla M16 released.
What is the state of Mozilla? It rocks, has done since about M3. I was reading through the postings on slashdot and it seems the people are far from happy about the slowness of releases and features. Slashdot is a hive of flame and unpleasability (apologies to George Lucas). The Slashmob aren't goign to be pleased by much at all, so don't worry about them. Does anyone know when thew final release is due, Ive heard many people say 'when its ready', but its been in development for what seems like years now! Yes on both counts. It has been in development for ages, because there was a very big change of tac early on. Very, very risky, but very much worth it. Mozilla are no longer building a browser, they're building a new platform that runs on just about everything. This is Bill Gates worst nightmare come true: Netscape are finally putting the masking tape on the Windows, so to speak. I was under the impression the since netscape decided to release the source this was the first big test of the open source / bazaar type design paradigm. Hell no! It was the first big commercial support for open source development, but look around you at all the Free Software that's been around for years. Mozilla is a child of the revolution. How is Mozilla going to compare? It's pretty bloaty as it stands, but that's due to the amount of development code and mush that goes along with pre-alpha software. Gecko, the rendering engine, is tiny and ferociously fast. They're building the entire interface on top of that... But there's a hell of a lot that goes into a modern browser (never trust the fool who says `it's just a browser').
