You may be able to get something close in functionality by
bringing
a few technologies together. Use something like the Cyrus Imap
server
with sendmail. Cyrus IMAP supports shared mail folders with
ACLS. Faxing can be setup using Samba and efax or mgetty ( It
sets up as a print queue to the fax modem). Directory services
can be handled with OpenLDAP. Unfortunately I have not seen
scheduling software that would support schedules. According to
Microsoft, you can
do scheduling over an IMAP transport but you can't browse others
schedules interactively so it is not all that great. I have run
across
some interesting calendaring products that run with Linux. Some
are
commercial some are just shareware web cgi programs.
Calendar URLS
http://www.webmantech.com
http://www.crosswind.com
http://www.boutell.com/calendars/
http://www.webprog.com/appoint/index.html
http://www.cst.ca/ (no direct linux support)
Cyrus IMAP Server
http://andrew2.andrew.cmu.edu/cyrus/imapd/
OpenLDAP Directory Server
http://www.openldap.org/
Samba
http://www.samba.org
I won't try and fool you, this would take some work to pull
together
but it would could be done without a huge investment besides your
time
of course ;-)
Hope this helps...

Hi,
Can you tell me if CBQ is there in Kernel v 2.1.125 ie.., and can be used
just like eth0 and need to be configured in
/etc/syscoonfig/cbq-1260.My_first_shaper.
I am working on an alternative to RSVP and should put this scheduling file
in its place,
Please tell me the details how I have to do this. I have
sched-cbq.c file on Kernel v 2.0.36(RHv5.2)
If u say that kernel 2.1.125 already has this precompiled , then I will
upgrade to that.
Thanks for your input in advance.

You could execute a `mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /cdrom` from /etc/rc.S/ I
suppose.. Probably what you're after is an automounter though.

Subject: Apache Virtual Hosting and cgi
Date: Wed, 07 Apr 1999 02:24:15 GMT
Is there a way to restrict a cgi script to a virtual host? I have Apache
1.3.3 running and have my main server under www.123.com and a virtual server
running internal.123.com.
I have all the scripts in the specified cgi-bin directory as in the
httpd.conf file, but I only want the internal.123.com to run some of the
scripts, and not the www.123.com (right now, if I know the script name, I
can run it from either server)
Would I have to set up seperate cgi-bin directory, and how would I put that
in the httpd.conf file?
Thanks in advance.

I think you'll find that "works fine" and "M3" don't work very well in
the same sentence.
Yes, Mozilla development is now GTK-based.
If you take the latest available edition, which happens to be the *only*
released edition, you'll find that it is *very* slow and crashes a lot.
Note also that jwz is no longer involved with Mozilla; he resigned from
AOL on April 1st.

maybe you need to setup a port forward on the ethernet card for the internal

If you are using UNIX (SVR4 or later, or BSD-based), then mailx (or Mail)
will do it. When you give it the "edit" command (~e or ~v for visual
editor, such as vi or emacs), it sends the entire contents of the message,
headers and all. I use this all of time to tweak the headers' To: and Cc:
lines to the original set of recipients of the quoted message. You'll
have to add any additional headers by hand, but as long as they are the
right format ( Initial-Caps-Upperlower: data value ) as per RFC822, then
they will propagate with the message just fine.
Of course, you could just get cute, and edit any ole text file adding
whatever headers you desire, and then just interface to SMTP directly
yourself. I wrote and 'expect' script and emacs macros to do exactly this
on my system. And other emacs macros to add the mail headers you describe
in your message, plus even build a unique boundary value for multipart
messages.
Note also, most mailx (Mail) versions accept a -t option, and can be fed
an RFC822 message directly on the command-line:
cat prepared.message |mailx -e
whereupon it will pick off the To:, Cc: and Bcc: values and interface to
your mail routing agent for you, keeping all of your header lines intact.
I have a person here that uses Microsoft Word in an emulation window, creates
a new message from a Word template file that has MIME multipart headers,
and runs a macro to fill the To:, From:, Subject: and so forth (these are
also used in the body of the document), and runs above "mailx -e" command
from an icon. The end result is that the attachment is also a properly
formatted company memo (built to internal standards) sharing the same
information between the memo top and the message header; with a synopsis
in the non-attachment message portion.
Believe me, there are many ways to skin this cat ....

Subject: Name caching DNS problem
Date: Tue, 6 Apr 1999 21:35:45 -0500
I have a name-only caching DNS server on my local home network. I use diald
to connect to the internet. I have a domain name, but have no one hosting
it (as yet).
I have everything defined, and all seems to work well, but I keep the
following message pops up every now and then in /var/log/messages.
Where/how do I properly define my domain name? (I followed a mini HOWTO on
setting up a name-caching domain server to get this far). All names get
properly resolved, etc. no problems there. Just the error on the name
(NXDOMAIN) error.

Greg,
Using Red Hat 5.2 with their Kernal build. I 'thought' all IP Masq stuff was
included as modules? Any idea? I will try to check on this.

Subject: OS locks up after PPP is established
After successfully establishing a PPP connection, then launching
Netscape, I can browse the web for awhile. At some point, the machine
locks up. The mouse won't move the cursor and control-C and control-D
won't work. Maybe the system isn't locked, but X sure is. I have to
turn off the machine. The last entries in /var/log/messages are the
ISP's messages about my dynamic IP address and there's no indication of
a problem in there that I've found. I'm getting PPP working with Linux
for the first time, so this is likely a novice-level foulup. Has anyone
