Also, try CNET's Linux Center's MetaSearch engine:
http://linux.cnet.com/
you can narrow down searches by News, Software, Documentation, and
Security, and within these subheadings, searches comprise a ton of sites,
i.e. CNET News.com, LWN Headlines, LWN Archive, Linux PR, Linux Today,
slashdot, CNET Downloads, SourceForge, Tucows, freshmeat, LinuxApps, man

It's really quite good.

Read the manual page for the 'umask' command. It's kinda' hard to
understand (if you're a newbie), but I think "umask 002" will do what
you want (set it back to whatever it was when you're done).

I have a major problem here. I have an MS-word file attached to an
e-mail that I desperately have to open [like, yesterday]. The problem
is that it isn't ATTACHED, but appears as text within the e-mail message
in KMail. Now there's definitely enough code there to account for the

able to read? [Just FYI, due to a problem, I can't fish in the

The other reply should work, but has the drawback (if I understand umask
correctly...) that all files created by these users will be writable by
all other users in that group. This may not be what you want.
Another thing you can do is set the group id sticky bit on the directory
you want group members to have write priveleges in. This will cause all
files created in the directory to have the same group ownership as the
directory.
For example:
mkdir grp_junk
chgrp mygrp grp_junk
chmod g+w grp_junk
chmod g+s grp_junk
Now grp_junk is writable by the group mygrp and all files created in
grp_junk will also be writable by mygrp.
Again, the advantage of this is that the group members can still have
personal files which are only group readable (or whatever you set umask
to be) while still having an area where the files are group writable by
default.
Hope this helps
Eric

Try metamail on the file.
I use "inc" for incorporating each mail into separate files, and all
I have to do is to run metamail on the email file.

NO WAY! that is total bullshit! I did that about a year ago, and had all
sorts of problems, mostly with the OS saying files that I knew were there
werent there. The only solution I found after deleting all those "scraps"
was to reformat after removing the faulty hardware. my advice, DO NOT
delete those files, try to figure out where they belong.

I am sure that this has been rehashed a bunch of times, but I can't seem

I have a RedHat 6.0 system, 2.2.13 kernel. I need to configure the darn
thing to keep the right time. I can't seem to correctly configure the
hardware clock so that it correctly deals with DST.
I tried setting it to UTC using RedHat's tools, but it had no effect.
The time zone information must be correct, since the calendar displays
EDT, but the hardware clock and the system clock are now exactly
backwards..... The hardware clock is one hour ahead of the system
clock.

Nice comeback, but the original statement is *SEPERATED* by edges, which
does imply a line in order to have seperation. pits do not seperate

Of course it does. That's not my argument. My argument is that the

I'm not misleading anyone. The patent is not the same. It requires a
surface with contrasting colors, ala an optical mouse pad. A wood grain
surface works as well (ever used an optical mouse on a wood grained surface?

A wood grained surface has edges which are of very differing contrasts.
Clearly a mirror is not such a surface. Additionally, the Microsoft mouse
works on my monochromatic red mousepad.

IBM just brought out Warp Sever for e-Business, has announced an
update of Warp 4 to - effectively - Warp 4.5 and has promised the
client version of WSeB for September 2000. OS/2 gets pronounced dead
about every three months, we're used to it <G>.
Microsoft was involved in the development of Warp 1.x, but IBM took
over and practically rewrote the operating system from version 2.0
upwards.
Don't get me wrong, I love Linux. There are two operating systems on
my PC: Warp an Linux, but Warp is still miles ahead of anything Linux
can produce when it comes to an intuitive, easy and intelligent
desktop.

That much is more or less true. As above, you can do different things with
them - particularly use ipchains to block off whole ports to varying
degree, but a typical use of tcpd are for spawning actions like finger and
identd back against an incoming connection, optionally mailing the local
sysadmin and all sorts of trigger-type setups.
