man ifconfig .... has an option to set the mtu ... set it for the PPP
interface
Can be set at runtime ... dunno how the vsnl server will take it
If you use Xisp there is an option to set the mtu .. 576 is the magic number

Haven't really used postgres though .. The howto's usually have the step by
step installation
and configuration .. which should avoid these probs ..

A requierement is an account (at the unix level) .. Automatically its a pop
account

SMTP server IP is set properly ... sendmail set as a standalone or pointing
to a smarthost ..
More details

makensfiles ... script by Atul chitnis .. present on all PCQ cd's having a
linux distribution
This is a cache only DNS mind you
That implies you still have to setup your Resolver
Check /usr/doc/HOWTO/Dns-Howto ....

/etc/mime.types
Edit it and search for htm
add html to it, next to the htm entry .. leave a space b/w the 2 entries
Should automatically associate ... check the application tree in the
preferences column in Netscape to open
html files ....

Linux can be setup as a PDC and windows systems could access its SAM (!!??)
i.e Samba
If there are all linux systems .. NIS , NISplus ... Radius ...
Just worked with NIS
