Gas prices are MUCH higher almost everyplace else in the world, mainly
due to high taxes, but also due to the fact that the U.S. is a huge
producer of oil in addition to being the largest consumer. (Obviously
most oil produced here is consumed here, and we still import much of

Yes, the libPropList RPM that's packaged with RH6.1 is retarded. You'll
probably want to download and compile the package from source (the URL
is at the top of the WM README or INSTALL file), so that you can save
your session.
You may also need to dl and install some of the image manipulation libs
- again, if you have problems with the RPM's, try building them from
source.

So we Europeans can't afford 3 SUVs per household. I reckon that's an
advantage.
Seriously: The standard of living here in Germany is rather higher
than in the United States. As for salaries, they aren't necessarily
lower, if they're lower, that's usually compensated by a much lower
number of workhours per week and per lifetime.
Also take in account that we've got the state taking care of our
health, pension etc., that is we don't need to pay private health
insurances and such from our salary after taxes unless we want to.

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date: 7 Mar 2000 14:33:41 GMT
I am using qmail, but it has been a while since I read _all_ the docs.
However, if I remember, there is a line in the docs which states that root
can never be a mail recipient user, such as the type set up in
/var/qmail/users, hence only non root users on the machine.
On my computer(s) all mail addressed to root, bounced, or returned winds up
in /var/qmail/alias/Mailbox via the pointer file .qmail-root and the other
associated pointer files in the same directory. (They control the
destination of such emails, including root's.
Now in root's home directory I have pine configured with the mailbox (which
you could probably do with any email client) set to /var/qmail/alias/Mailbox.
So, then, in essence all mail addressed to root can be read by Pine.
Also be aware, depending upon your setup for your computer, that those
remote accesses to mail on your Linux machine may have to address mail to
the actual ip address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) unless you set up a local dns
server, which isn't terribly difficult (although I had to read and re-read
to get it done! ;) ).
Hope this isn't too muddled and helps some. ...Edwin

There are a number of ways. The simplest is to run the 'mail' command.

I'm not the original poster, but there ARE legitimate reasons to want to
do this. My own personal reasons are this:
I write computer books for a living. (See my web pages at
http://www.rodsbooks.com/books/.) Computer book publishers usually
require screen shots taken at 800x600 resolution, which they then crop to
whatever window is to be shown. The publisher also has certain
requirements with respect to color schemes used. So I've got to run a
display at 800x600 with a plain background, etc., but of course I don't
want to suffer through that when I'm using Linux regularly (I use
1360x1024 on my main 19" display). So I use two accounts: One for real
work, one for capturing screen shots for books, and I run two instances of
X. This works quite well, and in fact is far more convenient than trying
to do the same thing in Windows.
Of course, my own situation is pretty unusual, but I can imagine other
uses that have similar requirements. For instance, a programmer who's
diligent about creating applications that can be used on displays of small
size would want to do precisely what I do. Likewise for testing
applications at different bit depths. If the programmers don't do their
job, an individual might need to do the same to use programs that are
finicky about their resolutions or color depths. For instance, WordPerfect
for Linux has problems at 24-bit color depths under XFree86 on most video
cards, so if you want to use 24-bit color depth for, say, some graphics
editing program, you might want to start a separate 16-bit instance of X
to run WP without sacrificing your 24-bit color depth on the main screen.

No, it's not. Remove that line entirely (and remove the trailing "\" from
the preceding line). The LJ 4000 is a PostScript printer, so you don't
want to filter output for the printer's at all. (Actually, you CAN filter
it, but unless you want to send raw JPEGs or something to the printer,
there's no need for it, since the printer accepts PostScript, PCL, and
ASCII.)

Now I don't really like the state making those desisions for me ... but here
in europe we don't have a choice to opt out of this so I'm forced to pay for
a mediocre healt system and a pension that will be only 800 Euro / month if
anything is payed at all. I rather make my own provisions on pensions and
healt, also who cares about the working hours ... I would like to be able to

LXNY will have a general meeting Tuesday 7 March 2000.
This meeting is free and open to the public.
The meeting runs from 6:30 pm to 9:00 pm. After the meeting full and
precise instructions on how to get to our traditional place of refreshment
will be given in clear.
Thanks to support of the IBM Corporation, the meeting is at their building
at 590 Madison Avenue at East 57th Street on the Island of Manhattan.
Enter the building at the corner of Madison and 57th and ask at the desk
for the floor and room number.
This meeting will be a general discussion and demonstration meeting.
Sysadmins, security experts, and all who have ever been rooted, absurdly
spammed, or stalked by crazed marketeers on the net, are particularly
invited. We will discuss techniques of offense and defense in today's
net, and what we can do to arm ourselves and prepare the ground for
tomorrow's battles.
There are about 1200 Public Schools in New York City. Many of them still
run source secret OSes on every one of their computers. The Beacon School
does considerable better. They use Free Software, thanks to
Tiffany Atiles, Chris Lehmann, Adam Matos, Chris Montfort, Carmelo Pablon,
and others whose names I do not know.

LXNY, and New York City, need more volunteers to bring Free Software into
schools and libraries. If you want to help come to this meeting.
LXNY will meet regularly the first Tuesday of each month at IBM throughout
2000. LXNY and its supporters thank IBM and all those who worked in favor
of this gift.

You exaggerate. I live in Jersey City, easy commuting distance from New York
City. I have less than 7.5k rent, and the apartment has two bedrooms ( though
admittedly, you don't save much or anything by losing a room ). You can
get the same kind of rent in uptown Manhattan though you'll probably have
barely enough room to breathe.
I'd agree that it won't help attack a mortgage though. You'll be struggling
to service the interest on a housing loan, let alone the principal.

Yes, I can give you a couple hints: first, if you ran the install script for
PowerChute, did you
choose to install the simple signaling daemon? Second, do you know what cable
you have?
Mine is a 940-0020B, which doesn't work with the full PowerChute, it might work
with their
simple signaling daemon. I use apcupsd, which is available in .rpm format from:
http://rufus.w3.org/linux/RPM/
Works well and is easily configurable. Mine is a Back-UPS 500, and it only
supports a simple
shutdown when the AC power goes out for some period of time (usually, I use 2
minutes). The
full powerchute monitors things like temperature and some other things. I did
get the same
error you speak of when I tried to install Powerchute, I think the main problem
turned out to
be the cable I had is not supported, but nevertheless, my UPS doesn't provide
all the info
powerchute wants anyways. I think it is geared more for the SmartUPS or the
BackUPS-Pro.
Try the simple signaling daemon or get apcupsd.

If your isp would support IMAP that would be perfect, then you can have
all your mail folders every where, but to use POP3, edit your.pinerc file
again and set the inbox-path:
inbox-path={pop.ISP.NET/POP3/user=USERNAME}inbox
The documentation warns you though about using pop3 and pine;
POP3
This value indicates communication with the server takes place via
the Post Office Protocol 3 protocol. Note that there
are several important issues to consider when selecting this option:
1. POP3 provides access to only your INBOX. In other words,
secondary folders such as your "saved-messages" are
inaccessible.
2. Pine's implementation of POP3 does not follow the traditional
POP model and will leave your mail on the server.
3. Pine's implementation of POP3 is not fully supported and, as
such, has known limitations and inefficiencies.
When your ISP supports IMAP you can configure pine to use imap. You'll
have to set both the inbox-path (with IMAP instead of POP3)
and the location of your mail folders as well,
inbox-path={imap.ISP.NET/POP3/user=USERNAME}inbox
folder-collections={mail.hemkes.com/imap/user=hbruijn}mail/[]
So you can configure pine to use pop3 or IMAP to get at your mail,
but the usual thing to do is to use fetchmail, which downloads the mail
from your ISP with the POP3 protocol, and then uses something like sendmail
to distribute the mail to your local mailbox.
The advantage is that you don't have to keep a connection open and alive
to your ISP to read your mail.

Mine works! It's a great card. There is no xir* module, though. I use RH 6.1
and the modules that are loaded on boot are serial_cs and tulip_cb. If you
upgrade your kernel-pcmcia you should look at the pcmcia-HOWTO which
will mention a little about the XIRCOM cards. My set-up is a little
unconventional
in that the card by default brings up eth0 and my ethernet works fine, to use
the
modem, I added a couple lines to the standard ppp-on script:
/usr/sbin/ifconfig eth0 down
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq=11
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 irq=3
the reason I do this is that the tulip driver reserves the irq=3 for eth0, so
I have
to bring down the eth0 interface to free it up. Then the setserial command is
doubled
because for some reason ttyS1 cannot be set directly to to irq=3, probably
because of
some confusion at boot-up (irq=3 is by default assigned to COM2, 4). Anyways,
this
works great and I have one-button (icon) which I press to use the modem and a
second to switch back to the ethernet interface.

My question is how to disallow multiple login from one user.. In other
words, I'm root on my linuxbox, and how should I do to reject other login
from root ... (or other users..) And this with ssh, telnet, and of course
console ..
Many thanks !
