MIME Encoding
This may be covered in a Howto or a FAQ, if so please can you point me in the right direction. There is a mimedecode package in the standard 1.3 installation CD. Is there something to go the other way ? I want to create an auto-reply program to attach a MIME encoded MS Word document to the message and reply. I can do this with a simple text message, but would like to automate the attachment. Thanks Alex Monaghan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Sharing a single logon with Unix & NT
Help, This is not 100% Debian specific, but should apply to Debian as well as other Unix flavors. I've been tasked with rolling out Windows 95 & NT, but I still need to provide NFS access to some Unix boxes (we use Beame & Whiteside NFS). Ideally I'd like to be able to logon once to NT and / or Unix via Windows 95.

RE: Unidentified subject!
I had a similiar problem when printing from Solaris. There is a registry setting in 3.51 (sorry can't remember which one) that needs to be tweaked to allow incomming LPR jobs. Have a look on Technet (or the MS Website) searching for LPR & NT Once the registry is set printing is OK. Alex Monaghan -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 December 1997 19:45 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Debian User Mailing List Subject:Unidentified subject! I have been trying, with no luck, to print to a printer shared from an NT box. I was wondering if someone could make some suggestions. The two machines involved, an NT (lager) box and a Debian Linux (stout) box, are located on my LAN at home. Lager can get to shares on the Stout via samba, with no problem. I can ping the Lager from Stout. The actual lpr command goes fine, but it just sits there. When I check the queue with lpq, it indicates lager is not up.

Yes, while the BIOS allows two IDE drives on different IDE busses, my experience has found that most OS's don't like that arrangement. Try re-arranging the hard drives like this: Primary IDE bus: first HD second HD (or cdrom drive if only one HD) Secondary IDE bus: third HD (or cdrom drive if only two HDs) fourth HD (or cdrom drive) Next, if the BIOS is a "plug 'n' pray" and the motherboard has the peripheral controllers built-in, go into the BIOS. Look for the PCI/plug and pray menu and go there. The submenu should allow you to lock IRQs by telling the BIOS that they are "legacy" IRQs. Of course, save it and reboot. [contd] Looks a good suggestion the BIOS is plug n pray, I'll change the BIOS setup and give that a try. Unfortunately, I didn't get to read this mail until after I came back from my parents, so I'll have to try it in a few weeks.

1.3.1 Setup with ULTRA DMA disk
Help, I attempted to install Debian 1.3.1 from the Linux Systems Labs "Official" Debian CD onto my father's PC. This installed OK from the boot floppy made from the CD. When booting from the rescue disk it finds ide0 at irq14 and ide1 at irq 15 and all works OK, when booting via LILO or via the install process's boot disk it finds ide0 at irq 7 and the md driver fails to load and the boot process stops. Any suggestions ? I'm going over again at the weekend and would like to get Linux running if I can.

vacation program

Thanks to those who offered suggestions. The final problem turned out to be that it had not included the 3c509.o in modules.dep, manually inserting it and rebooting caused it to run OK. Can anyone suggest why ? I installed with kernel 2.0.27 then upgraded to 2.0.30 via patches. I installed the modules via make modules ; make modules_install, is there something I missed ?

faxing from Win 95
Sorry if this has been asked before. I want to be able to fax from my Windows 95 desktop, ideally via the default exchange client, but via a print driver would be OK.

Checking for logged on users
I'm experimenting with a timer on my home mail server. I've got a simple script to dialup and send / receive mail & news. The timer switches the system & modem on and waits then switches off. The system runs a closedown script via cron before the timer is due to switch off. When I'm running locally the timer will be on a manual override. Any suggestions of how I can check in my closedown script to see if I've got any logged on users ? I use pop3, news, samba and ip masquerading from other machines and can safely assume that the timer will be on override when any of these services are active.

Smail configuration
Is there a simple way to get smail to forward mail to my ISP ?
Currently it appears to do it's own name resolution and delivery,
under Win 95 all mail got sent to the ISP to do this.
I am currently getting some delivery timeouts. I'd rather pass the
non-local delivery to my ISP. I still want to be able to deliver

News Server Configuration
Hi, I have a simple setup on my home network. A 386DX/40 running Debian 1.2 (with 2.0.30 kernel). I have a 486DX/66 dual booting between Slackware (will upgrade to Debian in time) and Win 95 and a 386SX/25 running Win 95. I have got a ppp dialup on the Debian box and have got mail forwarding running OK so I can now read mail from the Win 95 machines and queue it back onto Linux for dispatch. What I am trying to do is to run a simple news server so I can collect/post news when I do my mail collection and make this readable from the Win 95 machines. I'm running inn as installed from the Debian 1.2 CD. I can't seem to get news running OK, I've put my news details into the get-news.conf, and running get-news seems to connect to my ISP's news server and download messages, but they seem to then dissapear completely. Is there a HOWTO or a FAQ that covers this configuration ? I've had a look through but not been able to find anything suitable. -- ------ Alex Monaghan Network Support Analyst, Royal Mail Anglia London Rd, Stevenage, SG1 1AA, UK Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] STD 01438 767081 Postline5811 7081 -- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

PPP Problems
This may be a FAQ, if so please point me to the right place. I have kernel 2.0.27 and could not make a PPP connection. I can dial and login to my ISP OK, but can't seem to get a PPP session. When I use my old Slackware 1.3.x PC on the same modem with the same setup I get a connection and a PPP session. The only difference I can see is when I cat /proc/net/(can't remember which one) on the Slakware one I get ppp0-15 as well as lo and eth0, on the Debian I get only eth0 and lo. I've applied the 2.0.28,29&30 patches and re-compiled (making sure that ppp is included) but still the same result. When checking the logs I get the pppd startup messages as on Slackware, but get LCP a timeout message.

Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Don't know about Debian, but assume it's similiar to Slackware. I have a few DE-100's and these are recognised by the NE drivers.
