Re: [gentoo-user] How does cisco vpnclient find its .pcf file?

2005-08-06 Thread David H. Askew
 
  Note that there's a more elegant solution with vpnc (also in
  portage), if it fits for you (still hasn't some functions of Cisco's
  client, but it's free and you don't have to use a binary proprietary
  kernel module).
  

I agree, vpnc is the way to go.  Free, and more control 

On a side note, I'm finishing up an official howto I wrote on setting up vpnc.

[gentoo-user] mutt question

2005-08-06 Thread David H. Askew
whenever I send an email with mutt to a mailing list, (like I am now),
and I receive a copy of my own post, mutt displays the From: information
different for my emails

example: 

421   F Aug06 To [EMAIL PROTECTED] test

I have set realname=myrealname set in my .muttrc 

is this a feature ?

can I make these emails look like the others ? ... with proper names

any help would be appreciated ...

i'm actually using nbsmtp, but I don't think its actually a header
problem, but rather a mutt display problem 

... thanks for the suggestion anyway

[gentoo-user] serial console

2005-07-30 Thread David H. Askew
I want to setup a serial console to one of my servers.  I realize that
this will require a specific type of cable.  As I understand it, the
cable will have an RJ-45 connector on the host side, and a serial
connector on the server side.  I'm assuming since my server only has a
standard 9-pin connector, thats what I need.

I was looking around and found a Cisco console cable in a box of old
junk.  It has, surprise surprise, RJ-45 on one side, and 9-pin serial on
the other.  Would that work?

Just thought I'd ask before I start ... perhaps it will save me some
hair 


any help would be appreciated ...

- Dave
