[eug-lug]xawtv problem solved and here's how.
Xawtv wasn't working for me on two monitors. It did work before my nvidea video card upgrade. I don't know why it wouldn't. I edited the XF86Config-4 file to get rid of the one monitor. It didn't work. So I went back to the original XF86Config-4. I noticed I could run the xawtv when I was on my second monitor but the output would be on my primary monitor. So I ran xawtv -h and looked at the help file. I tried a couple of the swithches and I finally got one which worked. It's xawtv -remote and it works only on the second monitor. I just got it to work on my primary with monitor with the comand xawtv -noxv. I thought I'd pass this along so anyone who ran into this problem would watch TV on that second monitor. I wondoer if I tried a second video card and third monitor if it would work. Someday.. I still have solved the shell (ctrl + alt + F1) being on the second monitor. I just found setterm and I'm going to play around with it. If I get the shell on my primary monitor I will post it. Any suggestions. I'll try them.

[eug-lug]Mbox Size Monitoriing Script
Hi All, Every once in awhile, something really great comes along that just perfectly fits the bill. That was the case this morning with the 'mboxfull' script authored by Dave Regan at Armored Penguin. A little background: I sent an email recently asking if anyone had a script that would monitor a user's Inbox and warn them if it were getting too full. I had actually included a script that may be modified to suit my needs and offered a $25.00 bounty for the first one to produce a production quality product. The next day, Dave sent an email that quoted as follows: There are a number of ugly things about the program you found such that it will be easier to start fresh rather than modify it... Shocking for some, an inspiration for others; note what Doug McIlroy, the inventor of Unix pipes and one of the founders of the Unix tradition's words: Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new features. Dave was right. Dave's mbox monitoring program was nothing short of spectacular. The script was well thought out, cleanly documented, and indented perfectly. You'll see what I mean when you click through to his script here: http://www.armoredpenguin.com/mboxfull/ In the first sentence of Dave's script site he writes, mboxfull is a trivial little program, without any runtime, to send email to users whose email box is nearly full. If only he could see how happy his script has made my client! Oh, and the booty? Dave had this to say: If you send me a check, I'll only spend it. Instead, send it to Pamela Jones at Groklaw. A man of great character. Thank you, Dave.

True, but that was not the example.
Why would it be
undefined? The freebsd symlink(7) page says symlinks are files that act as
pointers to other files.
Well, it is now pointing to nothing, rather than a file.
What's wrong with moving a file from one place to
another?
That's pretty general, I can think of lots of situations where it's not
good to move a file, but staying with the discussion, it's because moving
relative symlinks creates confusion.
The oddity to me is the subtle difference between mv burn pub and mv burn/
pub on freebsd produces quite different results, whereas there is no
distinction on either linux or solaris.
Well, 'something' and 'something/' are different on BSD.
symlink(7) on OpenBSD says:
If it is explicitly intended that the command operate on the symbolic
link instead of following the symbolic link -- e.g., it is desired that
``chown owner slink'' change the ownership of ``slink'', not of what it

owner slink'' would change the owner of ``afile'' to ``owner'', while
``chown -h owner slink'' would change the ownership of ``slink''.

This is the crux. It is wrong in the case of 'burn/'. The above paragraphed

openbsd's behavior is in this scenario. Please try it:
cd /tmp ; mkdir a b a/c ; cd a ; ln -s ../b; mv b/ c; ls -l c
On linux/solaris this shows me a link:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 cory staff 4 Mar 20 00:38 b - ../b
On freebsd this shows me a directory:
drwxr-xr-x 2 cory wheel 512 Mar 20 00:45 b/
On OpenBSD the same as FreeBSD. 's#mv b/ c#mv b c#' and it's the same
as Linux. something != something/
The behaviour of you example is like on Linux.
I'm not sure what this means.
That example behaved the same on OpenBSD as it did for Linux.
I have not been able to reproduce the freebsd
results on linux or solaris.
The difference is that in the case of symlinks pointing to directories
('something' as an example), 'something/' points to the directory
rooted in 'something' on BSD, and 'something/' is the same pointer
as 'something' on SysV. On both systems, 'something' has the same
meaning.

Re: [eug-lug]Store and Forward
I'm having trouble getting Sendmail to understand I want it to talk to SpamassMilter. In poking around looking for an answer, I got to thinking that Procmail is already filtering the way I want. How do I have Procmail forward this filtered email to another box in the same domain?

The front end has the RBL code in it, and spam assassin and the Milter rules. You don't use procmail, because you are not delivering to a mail box. You use the initial spam filtering tools. If there are things in procmail, which you can't write in sendmail, then you can force it to process the messages.

What you typed is about the limit of my awk knowledge. Cut has the annoying
condition that delimeters are one character. So if there is some input:
happy.comOK
test.com REJECT
$ cut -f 2 -d \-- space after \
Will print a space, specifically the 2nd space after the com on each column.
$ awk '{print $2}'
will print the OK and REJECT column.
Well, the default delimiter for cut is a tab. Cut can also select
byte or character lists. So if your example always has the OK/REJECT
column at character 14, then `cut -c 14-` would work for you. If all
your characters are one byte, `cut -c 14` would work also.
I think cut was originally written to be able select entries out
of databases, which usually use a well defined delimiter or position,
not just any sequence of white space.

[eug-lug]Internet Annoyances Needed for New Book
Dear User Group Leader: Thanks for the great response to our call, over the last month or two, for annoyances, gripes, and complaints about Excel and PC hardware. The email we got was very useful and a lot of your members not only sent annoyances, but fixes! As always, many thanks for the input. This time around, we have yet another book in the wings--this one focusing on Internet annoyances. Some of the annoying areas: Email (and spam), connecting to the Net (via dialup, DSL, cable, configuration and all that), wireless annoyances (from WiFi hassles to hotspots to fiddling with WEP), web sites (namely creating, hosting, and maintaining your own web site), browsing and browsers (Internet Explorer, Netscape, and others), AOL, instant messaging, using search sites, security annoyances, and of course, shopping and auctions. Got Internet gripes/annoyances/kvetches? Send 'em our way by having your members email me ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) with Internet Annoyance in the subject line and we'll put our author on the job. As thanks for sharing, we'll make sure to get copies of Internet Annoyances sent to your group shortly after publication. --Marsee *** An example: Pictureless Pages Predicament THE ANNOYANCE: There are some great pictures available on the Web, but certain pictures don't appear on web pages I visit. Instead I see a red X or a funny little icon where the picture is supposed to be. THE FIX: Several circumstances can keep pictures from appearing: * There's a logjam at the web server or somewhere along the miles of wires between the web server and your browser. Try refreshing the page (press F5 or click the Refresh button on the toolbar). But you probably already tried that. * Something's wrong with the web server. The picture might not be on the server, or the programmer who created the web page might have put in the wrong path to the picture. * Internet Explorer may be configured so that it doesn't show pictures, a common setup for those with slow dialup connections who don't want to waste time downloading pictures. (If this option is set, you can selectively display pictures by right-clicking the X or the icon and choosing Show Picture.) To undo this setting in Internet Explorer, choose Tools--Internet Options. Click the Advanced tab, and in the Multimedia section, check the Show Pictures box to make your pictures appear. * An invalid value in the Windows Registry is preventing pictures from appearing. It's an easy fix, even for those who are squeamish about poking around in the Registry. (Before you mess around with the Registry, back it up as per the instructions in the sidebar on page 47.) Select Start--Run, type in regedit, and hit Enter. In Registry Editor, navigate to \HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.gif. In the right pane, click the Content Type item; its value should be image/gif. Then check \HKEY_CLASSES_ ROOT\.jpg; Content Type should be set to image/jpg or image/jpeg. For more information about this fix, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article 307239. *** ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug

What's most odd to me is that both scenarios end up with a symlink to nothing. Perhaps the lesson is to not mv a symlink because it's behaviour is undefined ... or at least varies by implementation. symlink(7) on OpenBSD says: If it is explicitly intended that the command operate on the symbolic link instead of following the symbolic link -- e.g., it is desired that ``chown owner slink'' change the ownership of ``slink'', not of what it points to -- the -h option should be used. In the above example, ``chown owner slink'' would change the owner of ``afile'' to ``owner'', while ``chown -h owner slink'' would change the ownership of ``slink''. There are several exceptions to this rule. The mv(1) and rm(1) commands do not follow symbolic links named as arguments, but respectively attempt to rename and delete them. (Note that if the symbolic link references a file via a relative path, moving it to another directory may very well cause it to stop working, since the path may no longer be correct.) The behaviour of you example is like on Linux. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
[eug-lug]Question: video email

I took a quick look for RFC's regarding video email but it looks like I could easily spend the rest of the day learning about this. I'm betting that someone on the list already knows. I don't get involved in pyramid schemes, but I'm curious about the tech and whether there are RFCs coming down the pike that already cover this type of stuff. I suppose that my friend will make a small pile of money. I doubt that he'll make significant money over the long term, but I always seem to underestimate people's capacity for stupidity. Maybe, as he predicts, next year there really will be a million people paying $5 a month for the ability to send video emails. Whatever. I'd just like to hear everyone else's take on this.

Right now I have a small perl script that opens up 1 through # of domains as streams (ie 1, 2, 3). Then I intend to capture these streams in order. The streams are all stored in a hash. However something tells me this is only an exercise in stream fun and not the ideal approach. Pseudo code, Perl or shell solutions are welcome. Here's a naive way I could do this with bash, however it calls ldapdump repeatedly. ldapdump is a perl script that dumps all email addresses from an ldap server. ( for i in `cat destination_domains` ; do ldapdump | egrep $i | sed -e 's/$/ OK/'; echo $i REJECT ; done ) valid_local_senders Finally, here's why: Postfix has the capability to reject email for addresses that don't exist on it's local domains. However it does not have the native configured ability to reject email From: non-existent addresses on it's local domains. Well I figured out how to configure it. Now for a specific set of domains that the local mail server is responsible for, email must be either to or from valid users.

[eug-lug]freebsd mv symlink moves linked dir?!
Over a solaris nfs, in freebsd I told it to mv a symlink to another directory. However the linked directory was moved into the target dir instead of the symlink. What's up with that?! Is that because I was over nfs, or is it because of freebsd mv? Linux mv moves symlinks, although I'm not sure about nfs. Freebsd ls is aware that the files are symlinks, so why not mv? When I rm'ed the symlink, it properly removed the symlink and not the linked dir.

[eug-lug]combining shell streams
I wanted to share with you a shell accomplishment I had today. For as long as I've worked with unix, I've wanted to combine streams on the command line. I just figured out how to do it tonight. Here I'm comparing 5 password files for those usernames that are not in all of them: # (cut -f 1 -d : passwd1 ; cut -f 1 -d : passwd2 2; cut -f 1 -d : passwd3 3; cut -f 1 -d : passwd4 4 ; cut -f 1 -d : passwd5 5) 21 31 41 51 |sort|uniq -c|grep -v 5 Output looks like this: 4 cory 3 jim 1 mike 10 sammy That last one was amusing. Apparently sammy was in each file twice! Here's a break down if you need it: - cut -f 1 -d : file, means print the first column, delimited by : - Each cut command goes into a stream: 2, 3, etc. The first one goes into 1 by default. - All extra streams are redirected into the main stream: 21 31... - All 5 combined streams are sorted - Then sent through uniq -c which counts the number of occurances of each name - grep -v 5 means print all rows that don't have the string '5' I realize I could have also done this: # cut -f 1 -d : passwd? |sort|uniq -c|grep -v 5 However the point of the exercise was combining streams from any programatic source, not just cut.

For performance, I would rate Mozilla as a bit faster.

Can anyone clear up the relation? Why is it that although saraswati:/export/home is mounted, only /home/cory shows up instead of automounting the whole?

Until there is some form of authentication for mail, this arms race will continue. Sender Permitted is an interesting step, since it is generally hard for DNS changes. However, it is not the end of the arms race. It makes the security flaws in DNS become a target. And if it is possible to create AI programs for real, we will end up seeing viruses that look at your email and craft a real message from a real person, to a real recipient, with a spam content.

Re: [eug-lug]Last chance for old equipment
The trays are steel and aluminum and attach to a standard 19 rack we don't have any standard rackmount pullout keyboard trays that aren't in current use. we do have this monster double wide shelf/cage thing that has 4 keyboard shelves that we might be willing to part with.
