Also if anyone hapens to know if there exists a hebrew language module for WP8 for lynux? Thanx [EMAIL PROTECTED] It is quite anoying that Corel released the free version of WP8 w/o many good fonts. What you are supposed to do is buy the Commercial version. That way you get your fonts, and Corel gets some money. I don't think there is any way to use your system fonts w/ WP8. There are other ways around this limitation though. I am not sure of the legality of this, I should re-read the EULA, but if you can get your hands on one of the old 30 day demo release canidates for WP8, you can copy the fonts from the release canidate to the free version. This operation also requires copying a couple files from the release canidate to the new version. The result is a free time-unlimited version of WP8 w/ all the fonts from the 30- day trial versions. --Bill
More problems w/ EXIM upgrade
I upgraded to the new exim 3.02 and got bitten with the IPV6 problem.
So I think I fixed that part.
Next I had a config file problem. Whenever I did this:
exim -bm -t message
I got this:
1999-06-30 07:53:53 10zJs9-0005ZU-00 Expansion of Received: ${if
def:sender_rcvhost {from ${sender_rcvhost}\n\t}{${if def:sender_ident {from
${sender_ident} }}${if def:sender_helo_name
{(helo=${sender_helo_name})\n\tby ${primary_hostname} ${if
def:received_protocol {with ${received_protocol}}}
(Exim ${version_number} #${compile_number} (Debian))\n\t${if def:received_for
{for $received_for\n\t}}id ${message_id}${if def:received_for {\n\tfor
$received_for}} (received_header_text) failed: syntax error in else
substring
So I check out exim.conf I went to the section that generates the Received
headers. After playing with that section for a while I isolated the problem.
I then changed the section from this:
received_header_text = Received: \
${if def:sender_rcvhost {from ${sender_rcvhost}\n\t}\
{${if def:sender_ident {from ${sender_ident} }}\
${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=${sender_helo_name})\n\t\
by ${primary_hostname} \
${if def:received_protocol {with ${received_protocol}}} \
(Exim ${version_number} #${compile_number} (Debian))\n\t\
${if def:received_for {for $received_for\n\t}}\
id ${message_id}\
${if def:received_for {\n\tfor $received_for}}
to this:
received_header_text = Received: \
${if def:sender_rcvhost {from ${sender_rcvhost}\n\t}\
{${if def:sender_ident {from ${sender_ident} }}\
${if def:sender_helo_name {(helo=${sender_helo_name})\n\t\
by ${primary_hostname} \
${if def:received_protocol {with ${received_protocol}}} \
(Exim ${version_number} #${compile_number} (Debian))\n\t\
${if def:received_for {for $received_for\n\t}}\
id ${message_id}
Basically I just removed the last line.
I was then able to send my mail useing 'exim -bm -t message' again.
But now I have a problem with mutt. When ever I try to send a message from
within mutt, I get:
'Error sending message, child exited 127 ().'
And the message is not sent.
So I went and looked in /etc/Muttrc and fooled with the 'set sendmail' line,
but that didn't do me
any good.
Does anyone no how to get mutt to work with exim again?
TIA,

Re: needed, PAM LDAP help
All this seems to suggest you still have the regular login binary installed, rather than the one from pam-apps. Install pam-apps. Yep, that is exactly what it was. Maybe libpam-ldap should suggest pam-apps. Now I have a different problem though. Pam is working correctly, and ldap is working correctly, but libnss-ldap is not. When I modify nsswitch.conf to have it reference ldap, I get this error when logging in: Debian GNU/Linux potato caesar tty8 caesar login: test Password: Last login: Fri Jun 11 21:40:19 1999 from - on tty8 /bin/login: error in loading shared libraries: /lib/libnss_ldap.so.2: undefined symbol: ldap_set_option I get similar errors when ssh is looking up a host. Unless you've got a better idea, I'm going to go grab the source and see if I can find the problem there. Thanks for your help! Bill

First I created a new testing account # adduser testing Second, I downloaded the conversion tools, turned off shadowpasswords, and updated my LDAP database. Using ldapsearch, I verified that all the accounts had been transfered over. I then downloaded the pam_ldap modules, and changed /etc/pam.d/other to: auth sufficient pam_ldap.so auth required pam_unix_auth.so try_first_pass account required pam_unix_acct.so password required pam_unix_passwd.so shadow session required pam_unix_session.so Note: there is not an /etc/pam.d/login file. I also changed the /etc/pam_ldap.conf so that it had the correct search base, and also used LDAP v 3. Then I deleted the test account from /etc/password, /etc/shadow etc. But I was not able to login with the test account. Have I left out some steps? Do I need some special PAMifed getty or something? I also decided to try and see if PAM was working at all, so I copied /etc/pam.d/other to /etc/pam.d/login, and changed the file to read auth required pam_deny.so account required pam_unix_acct.so password required pam_unix_passwd.so shadow session required pam_unix_session.so But even with PAM deny as the first module, I still was able to login. Why is that? Do you know of any docs that I have missed? TIA, Bill Van Devender

What are you going to use this for? From the hardware that you listed above, it seems like it will just be a router for your home network. If that is the case, I would recommend not using any distro. Instead read the Boot Disk HOW TO and rolling your own. Just do like the how-to says, but don't load the file systems into ram, put them on your 51 Meg HD. You will save yourself a lot of head-aches this way, cause you will have a very functional system using only about 4Meg of space. HTH, Bill
Re: How to import pub keys with gnupg
Well, using the '-a' on the export did work to get rid of the 'public key not found' error when doing: # gpg -r B -se file1 I had actually tried this before. But when 'B' goes to decrypt the file1.gpg this is what happens: #cat /home/A/file1.gpg | gpg gpg: public key decryption failed: secret key not available gpg: decryption failed: secret key not available Why can't B find his own secret key? It should be in his .gnupg directory. Thanks for the help with the unsecured memory. Bill
How to import pub keys with gnupg
I've been experimenting with gpg and have hit a little snag. First I create two user accounts. A and B. I logged in with A and did: # gpg --gen-key # gpg --export pub_keys I then did the same with B. Next I tried to import A's public key # gpg --import /home/A/pub_keys But I get the error message: gpg: Warning: using insecure memory! gpg: packet(6) with unknown version 64 gpg:/home/A/pub_keys: key : no user id gpg: Total number processed: 1 Then I log back into A and try to import B's public key. # gpg --import /home/B/pub_keys gpg: Warning: using insecure memory! gpg: packet(6) with unknown version 64 gpg:/home/B/pub_keys: key : no user id gpg: Total number processed: 1 The I try to encrypt a file so that only B can read it. # gpg -r B -se file1 gpg: B: skipped: public key not found gpg: file1: sign+encrypt failed: public key not found So, where am I going wrong? It has to be a stupid error in the export or import. But where? Also, why am I getting the insecure memory warning? I read the FAQ, README and gpg man page that came with the .deb, and followed the instructions. I thought they where pretty clear. Lots of examples, but I guess not clear enough. Is there another doc I should check out?
Re: Windoze 95 is not multi-tasking, it just pretends it is multitasking.
Windoze 95 is not multi-tasking, it just pretends it is multitasking. Can you prove that Win95 is just pretending to be multitasking ? What about Win98 ? I thought that it was true multi-tasking in the sense that it multi-tasked between the mouse everything else. Which is why if one program crashed, the system became useless, but the mouse still worked. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Re: SyQuest internal IDE 1GB disk?
Hey Rick, I'm a partner in a company that installs networks for small businesses, and have had some experiences w/ the syquest. As far as the internal ( both SCSI ide ) ones go, I would stay away from them. They are pretty flimsy, and we have had to return several of them. Instead of a nice solid case around the drives, it seems as if they are covered in thin aluminum foil. They are also annoying in that sometimes the cartridge will unseat itself, and even though it looks as if the drive is in, it isn't. Although I've not used the parallel port one under Linux, I will say that they are built much tougher. I would sacrifice the speed and go w/ the parallel port one. But even w/ the problems, I think they are much better for the money than the Jaz stuff For my own uses, I have found that the cheapest, fastest, most reliable way to backup is w/ a nice extra internal HD. Just rig it up so that one of your IDE cables and a power cord are hanging out the back of your computer, and then plug in the drive, back up, put the drive into a static bag. For the price of a syquest w/ several cartrages, you can have two full sized drives, and quickly back up your whole system. And by using dd ( or ghost -- www.ghostsoft.com -- if you use that other OS ) you can just image your HD so as to assure very quick restorations.

Where did my init.d/boot go?
Since hamm was frozen, I started the process of updating my bo system. I've been running hamm now for a week or so, and using FTP to update all of my out-of-date packages. Last night I installed some of the new packages, ( of which the only important one I remember was sysvinit ), and when I rebooted my system, I was no longer able to open a tty, and thus even though I logged in, and Linux validated my password, it was unable to give me a shell. After examining the boot messages, and seeing a line that said 'unable to find /etc/init.d/boot', I booted up from a beautiful little slackware rescue disk, and saw that my boot was now boot.OLD. How do I find out what package did this? I assume that whatever package moved my boot to boot.OLD, was intending to write a new file. Do I need this new boot file? My system seems to be running fine w/ my old boot. Bill Van Devender -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
