It would be nice if xterm did something to make colors, like yellow
visible on its white background.
The Konsole in KDE has a menu for settings and the Gnome Terminal has
some way to change settings too. But the Konsole is too wide if I need
to load 3 or 4 of them, so I simply use "xterm -r" to reverse the white
xterm background to black, like a normal console.

I am running RedHat 7.0 with GNOME and the SawFish window manager in
XFree86 4.0.1. The entire screen gets little graphical errors/lines
around everything whenever something is being redrawn. The video card
is an onboard SiS 5597/5598 that shares main memory on a crappy PC100

What do you get if you 'ping misc2.com' or 'telnet misc2.com 25'? I think
sendmail might be attempting to use DNS to lookup an MX record for the

e-mail to its IP in brackets like:

I just downloaded V0.9.1 today. I wasn't looking for any detailed

Due to the favorable comparissons to Agent I've read in the various

I tried the "n" short cut but it didn't appear to change the behavior.

At first I was thinking of getpwnam() but that just gets you an "x" with
shadow passwords.
Parsing /etc/shadow is easy, colon separated fields for each username,
like a password file for web authentication. The problem is, only root
can read it.
If you can overcome that, telling if a user supplied password is valid is
easy in Perl by simply crypting the plain text password with the crypted
password as salt:
crypt($plainpw,$cryptpw) eq $cryptpw || die "password failed";

Get over yourself, friend. Driver issues are often subtle, especially
with unusual or low end hardware. I've had mixed success with LinkSys,
directly related to the quality of the *computer* I tried it on. For
example, RedHat 6.1 on a 500 MHz eMachine with an el-cheapo Linksys
card was just hopeless: I actually returned the computer, it was such
a piece of
useless-undocumeted-weird-chipset-undocumented-no-support-buggy-etc-etc
underpriced junk.

This isn't a Perl question.
Don't do that, for the reasons shown in the Apache FAQ item.
Every attempt to use logon credentials for other purposes just
adds extra insecurity to the logon system.

If you absolutely must check a user's credentials then ask the system
to do it for you. Don't try to hand code it. The whole reason the
shadow file is made readable only by root is for security reasons.
If you want any damned program to be able to read it, you might as
well not use shadow passwords.

Just curious how you tell what inode-nr (mine is 12300 7266) and inode-max
(mine 12288) are for? For my main box running Mandrake 7.0 24/7 with a
generic 2.2.17 kernel, df shows 26% disk use and 12% inodes used for /,
and 9% use and 1% inodes for /var. My laptop runs less often overnight
and df shows / 91% used, but only 41% of its inodes used (/boot is using
1% of its inodes). I have never had an inode shortage even on a partition
that was relatively full.
Are you running postfix? I never could figure out how to configure it and
did not notice its jumbo log and saved cron msgs it could not send, until
my /var was almost full. I removed postfix and installed sendmail
instead, which works for me without any configuration.

The linux command you need is called "script".
It will make a log file of everything which apears on the
screen. To end the log capture type CTRL-D (CTRL-D == EOF)
e.g.

$ my-c-prog
...
<lots of output>

I agree. Whenever someone questions where the heck the KDE 2.0 final release
rpm's are for RH 6.2, people pipe up giving this link or one similar to it.
But I challenge anyone to provide a url to official rpms for KDE 2.0 final,
the same version as released for SuSE 7.0, RH 7.0, etc. I've spent a
considerable amount of time looking, and with no success. You might find a
directory for KDE 2.0, and and it might have subdirectories for RedHat, w/
further subdirectories for 6.2 & 7.0, but the 6.2 directories only contain
SRPM's.
WHAT THE HECK IS THE DEAL?!!?

I am not familiar with qmail or if it has its own file called Host.allow,
but /etc/hosts.allow does not usually have anything to do with smtp
servers unless qmail is started from /etc/inetd.conf, and if so, would
need more in hosts.allow than just an IP (see 'man 5 hosts_access').
But it could be that you are blocking outside access with a firewall. Are
you doing anything with ipchains?

Subject: FTP problem (ipchains?)
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

G'day,
An acquaintance set up ipchains firewalling on our office server, and
went much too fast for me to understand what he was doing.
Now, whenever I try to connect to an FTP server, I get a "PORT"
command error, and my guess is that the server firewall is set to
reject any FTP access. That's OK for external access (ie, outside
users getting access to any of our files in house, or using security
holes in FTP to crack into our system) but we need FTP access from
inside the office (both up- and down-loading).
Am I right in suspecting the ipchains setup?
How do I edit this to allow FTP access (both in terms of what do I
edit and how do I edit it, and what di I change and what do I change
it to)?
Am I going to create any security problems by making these changes? If
so, how do I get both reasonable security (recognising there's no
complete security except permmanent disconnection) AND FTP access?

You can't.
You have to download a program which allows you to burn data to the
CD. I would recommend cdrecord.
