Re: Strange file in my /etc
Hi Eamon, I moved '-src' to 'src.bak' several days ago and rebooted my computer a few times. My system seems normal. Maybe it is caused by Snort? I got an e-mail from Leandro. He asked me if I installed any IDS but he didn't explain what is thie file for.

Re: Installation problem
Mr. Kooij, I made a very stupid mistake. I didn't read the installation manual very carefully. The manual states that do not partition /dev but this is what I exactly did. I am so embarrassed. Now, every thing looks ok. Sorry to waste your valuable time.

How to change e-mail header
Hi I recently downloaded elm-2.4ME+37 and compiled it without much problem. But now I can not change e-mail header information. I needed to change the information because my local log-in name and host name differ from my ISP's e-mail address. e.g. Local log-in name: jimmy Local host name: apple ISP's log-in name: kintaro ISP's DNS name:hkabc.net When I send out a mail from my local system, the header becomes Reply-Path: jimmy.apple Sender: Jimmy Lu [EMAIL PROTECTED] I need to change it to: Reply-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sender: Jimmy Lu [EMAIL PROTECTED] Previously, I use dselect to install elm-2.4ME+25 binary to my computer and created a file called elmheaders in ~/.elm directory. I just add one line which is From: Jimmy Lu [EMAIL PROTECTED] in it. Everything worked fine at that time but now it doesn't work. Can someone help? Thanks in advance.

smail+elm questions
I just set up smail and elm on my pc so that I can write my e-mail from my pc and send it directry from my pc to anybody anywhere. This is very convenient but I have some problems. 1)my e-mail address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] but my local pc's log-in name is jimmy. So when I send my e-mail from my pc, the From section of my e-mail will be From: Jimmy Lu [EMAIL PROTECTED]. This will cause problem because [EMAIL PROTECTED] is not my actual e-mail address. How to change smail/elm settings to reflect my actual e-mail address? 2)I am used to pine because my ISP has it. I am a light e-mail user and only use a few functions of pine. There are some neat pine features I always use them but I don't know elm has them or not. a. I use pine's attachment function to send binary files. Does elm have this function? b. I can create a text file and pine can read(import) this file to the message section of the e-mail. I can edit it before I send it if I want to. Does elm have this function? Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance. Jimmy -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I suspect the '-' character may be involved one way or another, but that is a complete guess really and I still don't know how to fix the problem. I have to kill ftp with ^\. Lynx also hangs on startup (^C will kill this one), so mayby this is a more general type of problem.

Help!! My Client/Server are out of sync.
Back ground: === I have two PCs at home with Client/Server setup. The Server PC is updated to kernel version 2.0.29 and Debian 1.3. The directories of /home, /usr and /tmp in the Server hard disk were shared with the Client PC. The Client PC is using kernel version 2.0.27 and Debian 1.2. I have two different boot floppy disks to boot each system. Problem: === After my latest update of Debian files, my Client cannot exicute some programs. e.g. can not startx, can not ftp, etc. These programs worked before my last update of my Server.
