Re: Postfix | Upgrade
I solved my problem by making the directory maildrop worldwidewriteable. But this is sh*t. The T Flag is (from the manpage): save program text on swap device (t) Don't understand it, anyway. Another box which I am admin of has the same permissions for the directory maildrop as I had: drwx-wx--T and there it doesn't seem to have problems. So what's really going on?

How much If you're using kernel versions older than 2.4.0 you're about to use ipchains. The IPCHAINS HOWTO explains how to install and configure ip-firewalling chains software.

(I don't know the masq stuff yet so that would only be 'learning', not 'relearning', but how much other stuff is radically different?)

I want to know the difference between ipchains and ipmasq. Would I be correct if I said : Firewalling and Masquerading are 2 different things, handled by 2 different apps, and I want both ipchains and ipmasq? No, you don't want to have both. Ipmasq is the short form of IP-Masquerade and can be handeld by both, ipchains and iptables. Masquerading, or simply MASQ, (used in FORWARD chains) is one of the three chains which are handeld by ipchains. The other two, as you probably know, are the INPUT and the OUTPUT chains. INPUT chain-rules decide what to do with incoming ip-pakets, OUPUT chain-rules decide what to do with outgoing ip-pakets. The FORWARD chain-rules (with MASQ as their target Flag) are masquerading internal LAN-IP's with the one connected to the outside. Actually iptables now have two new chains called POSTROUTING and PREROUTING, but this is way OT, I think :) Deciding what to do with incoming and outgoing ip-pakets is called Firewalling. Masquerading allows a LAN without a real IP to connect to the outside. The line : MASQ is now MASQUERADE seems to indicate that ipchains and iptables both handle masquerading. That's right. If that is true, how does the ipmasq package fit in with this? I'm not quite sure, but ipmasq depends on either ipfwadm or ipchains or iptables, depends on what you decide to use. It includes modules which initialize IP Masquerading for use as a Firewall. Hope this doesn't confuse you too much, but helpes.

Yup. You best bet is to completely wipe kde and reinstall 2.0. I've found that 'apt-get remove libqt*' will get rid of everything kde related (as long as you don't have any non-kde apps that use qt that you want to keep). It's a pretty kludgey solution, but it works. my question then is: how to find out which apps use qt? -Rob -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: problem running StarOffice as non-root
Hi, I've had exactly the same problem as you have. I can only say what other users told you. Deinstall soffice and install it as root with ./setup /net if you have not done it yet. Then do a ./setup with every user you want. bye Agner-Nichols wrote: I installed StarOffice (5.2) as root to an i586 running Debian with a 2.2.12 kernel and KDE as the desktop (using Corel 1.1.2). It runs fine as root, but I cannot figure out how to get it to run as non-root. Have tried symlinking /usr/local/office52/soffice to the user's home (and that just starts the install script that errors because it can't find /usr/local/office52/user/sofficerc) as well symlinking /root/.kde/share/applnk/staroffice to the user's home and neither worked. (Looks like there is read/execute for user throughout the path for the first strategy, and yeah, I really didn't think the symlink to /root would work, but what the heck) Any ideas? Is this a general problem with any non-deb binary I install? I glanced through the O'Reilley Running Linux to see if it had anything about installing/managing binaries and didn't notice anything. thanks in advance -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Hi Debianers, i've posted a similar mail a few weeks ago but didn't get a satisfied answer. so i am going to try it again. i have a D-Link 530TX nic. i know that it is a via-rhine chip-set. and i have also seen many poeple using that card on this list. so it works, somehow. i have compiled the via-rhine support in the kernel but with no result. i've also trieded to load it as a module with parameters to no good results. always failed to load the module. my bios says the card's on irq 9 and cat /proc/pci as well. can somebody who got this card running tell me exactly what i need to do to fix this? i am using kernel 2.2.16. thanks for any hints.
