Simple answer Don, set the time and date using the "date" command as a
superuser, then adjust and sync everything together using the "hwclock"
command.

Junkbuster is a proxy, to tell junkbuster to forward request to squid do
the following in the junkbuster config file "/etc/junkbuster/forward":
* gateway-ip:3128 . .
where gateway-ip could be 192.168.0.1
Then tell your browser to use connect to junkbuster proxy. For example:
192.168.1.1:8000 where junkbuster is setup to listen on port 8000 on the
gateway machine.

thanks a lot. I was confused about the (weird) name xx_local.sh, I
thought that it is an arbitrary name, or I have to some how
substitute the xx_. Now I know that it is nothing fancy, just a

Have you reboot the machine? The file system does not really need fsck to
maintain consistency: that's the whole point about journaling file system
in the first place.
If you need reiserfsck, you need to supply:
ReiserFS version (get it from SuSE manual)
kernel version (2.2.14 right?)
CPU make and model

In most Linux distributions, if the printer works locally, it's already
configured for network sharing, with one possible exception: You may
need to add an entry to /etc/host.lpd for each client (just the name or
IP address of each client, one to a line). Some newer distributions use
LPRng or CUPS instead of the older lpd package. LPRng uses another
configuration file, the name of which eludes me at the moment. The LPRng
installations I've seen allow everyone to print by default, which makes
configuration easier, since there's nothing you need to do, but it's
less secure, so you should tighten security in one way or another. I've
not dealt with this with CUPS, so I can't comment on that.
On the client, you need to point the thing to the print server rather
than to a local printer. If you use a GUI utility like Red Hat's
printtool, this should be a matter of entering information in a dialog
box. If you do it manually, edit the /etc/printcap file. Rather than and
"lp=" line, you'd enter an "rm=" line for the remote host and an "rp="
line to specify the name of the printer queue on the remote host. Use
the same procedure for LPRng and lpd; but CUPS is different. Again, I
can't say how it's done in CUPS.
Sharing to Macs, Windows systems, and other computers is also possible,
but may require different software packages, like Netatalk or Samba.
(You can also use these for Linux-to-Linux sharing, if you like, but if
you have only Linux or Unix systems, the standard Unix-style tools are
generally simpler to configure.)

As I understand it, currently 3D accel is not supported on multihead congifurations
when both cards are 3dfx... If only one is 3dfx and the other card uses another
driver you can get 3D accel on the primary head.

Hi,
I am sure you will get several replies.
I am writing this to you from a Windows2000 machine and have VMware 2.0 with
RedHat linux 7.0 up and running in a virtual machine. From my RH7 virtual
machine I have full networking, samba file sharing, apache web server, etc.
I am presently running the VMware 2.0 for Windows product because my job
requires mostly windows only software. At my last job I ran VMware 1.0 for
linux because I only had one program needed for my job that was Windows
only.
VMware works quite well, you will need a relatively fast machine and a
decent amount of memory.
Hope this helps,
Chip

Subject: Term emulator with *real* keypad emulation?
Date: Mon, 15 Jan 2001 18:34:09 GMT
Is there a terminal emulator for X that accurately emulates the VT100
application keypad, including the use of NumLock as the DEC "Gold"
editing key?
I'm trying to install my favorite text editor, "ED," which is a clone
of the old DEC EDT editor. (Available via anonymous ftp from clio.rice.edu.)
This editor makes extensive use of the numeric keypad in application mode,
unfortunately all of the terminal emulators I've tried so far don't
seem to properly emulate the keypad, particularly that pesky Gold key.
(Though the Linux console does, ED works fine from a text-mode console.)
Thus far I've tried xterm, gnome-terminal, konsole, and e-term along
with their various keyboard settings where available, and no luck so far;
the only way I can make ED work properly is to switch to one of the
text-mode consoles.
Any help finding an emulator that will work with this will be greatly
appreciated! Though I'm no stranger to vi, having worked extensively
with DEC systems I've got that blasted EDT keypad burned into my brain...

Hi
I'm no expert on fetchmail, but from what I understand on the man page,
you can use an 'is' clause to deliver to a specific person.
poll 'provider' with user 'foo' pass 'bar' is 'foobar' here
or something close to that (check 'man fetchmail') You can choose a config
using the -f option. I run from the ip-up script but use Exim to do the
actual delivering of mail. Fetchmail does only that.
