Re: [expert] How to send mail between 3 comp LAN?
Dark, Why not just create e-mail accounts on the box with postfix/sendmail (whichever you use) on it for all of your users and then pop3 or imap it from there? Seems it would be easier than setting up 3 e-mail servers etc etc. Then create all the boxes hosts files identically. (btw windows does do hosts. look for HOSTS.SAM ) so that when you type A@b every box knows who b is... It also might make it work better if you drop the .com from names my sendmail is on jam1 and if I send to james@jam1 from my wifes winders box it shows up in my e-mail spool.

RE: [expert] Samba printing - Help!
little snip Original message I've found that the samba settings work best with options use encrypted passwords enabled and allow null passwords enabled as well. Also keep in mind that you may have to capture a printer port and browse to the network printer rather than installing the printer as a pure network printer (this applies when printing to a linux box from a windows machine). Some printers (esp HP laserjet) will not install in windows unless it first detects the printer on a port. Shouldn't apply in the reverse situation though. Hopefully I don't confuse you more. I have less experience printing from linux to windows than windows to linux to be honest. Todd HUGE snip Can we cut the HTML mails from this list...end whinge All my printers are on a linux server, multiple io cards are fitted. I use CUP's for printing. My samaba config is quite basic, but the printers that are visible on the Windows network are all installable. I go into the 'Add printer' dialogue and it allows you to browse the network...just select the one that you want and the insaller does the rest. I have never had to capture the port to do this. If you guys want to see my config, let me know and i'll post it. I do agree about the encrypted password token, also are the printers browsable, this makes things easier.. David.

Re: [expert] j2sdk just a little help ...
I had to do this just last night in order to run a java program called Arachnophilia. Make sure that the java binary file is in your Path. It's probably in a directory similar to this: /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.0_02/bin. That may not be the exact path but you should be able to track it down. Once you've found where the java binary is located, make a symbolic link to it. Make sure the link is in your Path. For example, I changed directory to /usr/bin. If this is where you want to put the link then create the link as follows: ln -s :: location where your java binary is :: java So, mine looked like: ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/bin/java java After doing that, you should be able to run your jDictionary.

[expert] No key repeating in GNOME2 ?
Hi, Installed Dolphin and GNOME2. Everything works wonderful except one annoyance: No matter how long I keep my finger on a key, it does not repeat. This makes scrolling through a text very annoying! I went to GHNOME's control center and looked at the keyboard settings. Key repeating is set. I tried several adjustments there but nothing works. key repeating works ok on the consoles but not in GNOME, not even in xterm or gnome-console. Is this a known thing? I haven't read anything about it so far. wobo -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.

[expert] Adjusting time crashed Dolphin!
Hi, Last time I experienced a *total* crash of my linux box was years in the past. And today! Installed 9.0 and missed the part where you give timezone and whether your hwclock is on UTC or not. OK, so I looked at /etc/sysconfig/clock and it was UTC=True. Good. I started GNOME and the clock said 15:20 In reality it was 17:20. As we are at GMT +0200 I thought, oh, well the timezone is missing. I started MCC and the time adjustment facility. I marked GMT +0200 and hit the OK button. Crash! Screen went blank and the box REBOOTED! After I recovered from a near heart attack I repeated the same steps and this time only the X-Server crashed! Third time nothing happened but the clock still showed the wrong time. I adjusted it on the cli. wobo -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

homedirpass is a copy of the Linux passwd file after I ran the script to

For ownership, it is much simpler to use the -R option
chown -R owner.group directory
For file permission, that gets trickier because directories and
executables need the 'x' bit set. But for regular files, use
chmod -R 640 directory
and then fix directories by using
find directory -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
For your example, I think this will work for you
grep /home/ /home/scott/homedirpass \

[expert] Mandrake 8.2/9.0 bad cmos checksum error
Here's the problem I had with 8.2, for those who don't remember: For some reason, whenever I reboot from 8.2 (not the betas/RC's, the 8.2 release version) or 8.2's installer after my mouse initializes and the BIOS tries to initialize communication with the hard drives, it will hang - the busy led tells me something is going on, but nothing happens. After waiting for a minute or so, I'll get either "Bad CMOS checksum, default used" or "Error System Clock" or something of that nature. Sometimes it'll reset all the changes I made in BIOS. With Win2kandMandrake 8.1, nothing of that sort happens. I'm running on an A7M266-M (Asus board OEM'd for HP configurable comps) with the latest BIOS version 3.33 for Bermuda/BoraBora boards, Tbird 1.4 Ghz Athlon, 256 MB PC2100 DDR, Geforce 2 GTS 64 MB DDR, SB Live! Value, and the hard drives are a 40GB 5400 Seagate and a 20 GB 7200 Maxtor, the Maxtor being the one where I'm putting 8.2 on (if I can ever get it to work :). And now, 9.0 is doing the same thing...yet 8.1 boots and reboots just fine. Win2k reboots just fine. Other CD installers, such as my Win2k CD, reboot just fine. So what could possibly cause this sort of problem? I probably am more of a newbie than expert, but I wasn't getting any responses to this problem on the newbie list. Again, any help would be more than appreciated. Joe

But this would be highly unlikely. 2) /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt (called during shutdown) is causing a problem when it syncs the hardware clock. If this is the case you can try disabling the sync by commenting out the line and then doing a test reboot. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Mandrake 8.2/9.0 bad cmos checksum error
I've flashed it already, I'm on the latest BIOS (it's 3.34 now). Still nothing.

After waiting for a minute or so, I'll get either "Bad CMOS checksum, default used" or "Error System Clock" or something of that nature. Sometimes it'll reset all the changes I made in BIOS. With Win2kandMandrake 8.1, nothing of that sort happens. I'm running on an A7M266-M (Asus board OEM'd for HP configurable comps) with the latest BIOS version 3.33 for Bermuda/BoraBora boards, Tbird 1.4 Ghz Athlon, 256 MB PC2100 DDR, Geforce 2 GTS 64 MB DDR, SB Live!

And now, 9.0 is doing the same thing...yet 8.1 boots and reboots just fine. Win2k reboots just fine. Other CD installers, such as my Win2k CD, reboot just fine. So what could possibly cause this sort of problem? I probably am more of a newbie than expert, but I wasn't getting any responses to this problem on the newbie list.

[expert] gkrellm on all workspaces?
Subject tells it all: How can I get gkrellm 'sticky'? I use GNOME2 and normal windows have a titlebar to klick on. So I can rightclick an choose 'sticky' from the context menue. gkrellm has no title bar. I used it on my 8.2 installation and there was an option to show up on all workspaces.

[expert] Thoughts/experiences on tmpfs
Since upgrading to mdk8.2, I have been using tmpfs for my /tmp filesystem. Having experienced that sort of thing before on Solaris, I was very please to have it in Linux as well. But, I have been having problems with /tmp being 100% full at times, and causing other things to not work. (I have 320M of memory.) What experiences have other people had with this? Would more memory fix my problems? Would I be best reverting to using a regular disk-based filesystem?

[expert] .xinitrc/startx weirdness
Hi gang, I have a little mystery going on here that isn't really distro or version specific as I've had it happen to me for many many mandrake releases and in Slackware. But something somewhere somehow for some reason is creating an empty .xinitrc file in my home directory on occasion, and of course the startx command won't work with it present. I delete it mot, but got the bright idea of just sticking a copy of the system xinitrc in ~ in hopes that it wouldn't happen again. But my curiousity driving me nuts as to what is doing this? I can not find a common denominator or see a pattern. So that's my question, anyone seen this? And does anyone have any ideas what could be doing this and maybe even why? I always run nvidia drivers and start X with startx from init 3 into kde. I have no idea what kind of clues I can offer, but welcome any and all questions in this matter.

RE: [expert] simple php -apache - mysql content management system
Does anyone know of a good perl based variant of the
geeklog/phpnuke/postnuke portals???
With CGI::Application and HTML::Template modules, a platform like that would
be awesome, but I have yet to find one...
I found perlnuke on sorceforge, but its still pretty basic..
I guess there is always the grandaddy perl portal.. slashdot code.. but its
not really suitable from an ease of admin aspect..
