Yes. I don't really know much about it :-) The KFS service recently dropped out because it requires every user address to agree to it's conditions. The robot sends it's probes from a different address every day so that's a problem. Steve Harris - Net Services Fast modem but slow downloads?

Some of the server had to be defection. We need to accept a few line of advertisement in using some of the services. I do see most of free site in the Internet, can provide free services by sponsor and only ask the user to accept advertisement. We may ask all our server to ask sponsor from any companies and in return, we the user will accept a few lines of advertisement. Just my two cents. : ) ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1999 15:20:13 +0530 From: "Bera, Kousik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Source Codes > I haven't su installed at my Mandrake box currently.

Let's say I want to know the source RPMS for su, login and cp. So I give.. [test@tcss766 /bin]$ rpm -qf su sh-utils-1.16-14 [test@tcss766 /bin]$ rpm -qf login util-linux-2.8-11 [test@tcss766 /bin]$ rpm -qf cp fileutils-3.16-10 [test@tcss766 /bin]$ Thus get the source RPM cd or access the Redhat archive for getting the proper source package.

Thank you ever so much! >Alexander Hi Alexander and all, Have you some idea about how to "elect the server of the month" ? I was thinking about it and I propose to discuse the following procedures: 1. The selection may be done in base of the Statistics. The parameters that could be take in acount for the selection may be: a) presence (for esample: % of days that the server is in the list) b) medium time of response in the month (from the statistics) c) any mix of the above. d) any other . . . 2. Each accmailers send one mail (and only one) by month to an especific addressvoting for one server. The address may be: a) the accmail list address. b) an especial new list used only for voting. c) an especial mail address used only for voting. The "voto"could go in the subject in the form: Subject: acc-voto [EMAIL PROTECTED] and anything or nothing in the body. In the machine that receive the voting mails they could be filter and storing in diferentes mail folders (one for each server), so each month the server that has more voting mesages in its folder would be "the server of the mounth" 3. The selection may be discused in the list and the server of month could be selected by debate. (Hmm...) Another points: Could the same server be elected several consecutive months ? Must be one or two months betwen awards? Could be a second (and/or third) position each month ? The award must be only one mail from the moderator of the list or a lot of mail of many accmailers ? (I think only one.) Could be another type of public award like the publicacion of the name of the server in an special page ? garcibal ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Sep 1999 01:57:45 -0600 From: Tim May <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: How to reply to accmail with the original message?
