[SLUG] Apache redirects
G'day all, I'm trying to redirect a domain (e-quality.com.au) to a sub-directory of another domain (ironstone.com.au/equality/). This is to prevent pages that have nothing to do with our eQuality product from appearing under the e-quality domain. I've added the line Redirect 301 http://www.e-quality.com.au http://www.ironstone.com.au/equality/; to the httpd.conf file, but it redirects to the root of the ironstone domain - not quite what I'm after. Any suggestions? Regards, Edwin Humphries Mobile: 0419 233 051 Ironstone Technology Pty Ltd P. O.

[SLUG] Linux looks to Hilton for exposure
http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2005/03/31/862521987.html
Linux looks to Hilton for exposure
By Sam Varghese
April 1, 2005
A new group set up to advance the cause of free and open source software
has decided to recruit socialite Paris Hilton into its ranks as a means
to gain more exposure.
The Open Source Development League said it was recruiting Ms Hilton
because it knew of nobody else who had managed to gain such a degree of
exposure despite having no apparent learning in this direction.
What she managed to do with that video was amazing. If that wasn't
enough, then there was the mobile phone address book episode, Jeremy
Bleats, the chief executive officer of the League, told a crowded media
conference on the banks of the Yarra in Melbourne early today.
Bleats said the only thing that was holding back Linux and other
software of the FOSS genre was a lack of exposure. People should be
aware of the breadth and scope of what FOSS has to offer and Ms Hilton
can definitely advance that objective, he said. She can expose things
like nobody else can.
He said the League had considered the merits of Pamela Denise Anderson -
said by many to be the most downloaded person on the internet - but had
finally decided in favour of Ms Hilton.
AdvertisementAdvertisement
It was more or less a two-horse race when it came to the question of
appointing an Exposure Executive, Bleats said. The horse with longer
legs finally won.
Bleats had a word of caution for journalists. Please do not confuse our
League with the Red-Headed League about which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
wove a tale involving Sherlock Holmes, he said. I have to say this
because our Exposure Executive is, at the moment, a redhead.
In the US, the founder of the Free Software Foundation, Richard M.
Stallman, dismissed the League's move as a cheap stunt.

Re: [SLUG] Samba ADS help (plain text email - sorry)
Hi Simon (and all), Thanks for your reply. :) I appreciate any pointers I can get here. I've recently set up a samba server that is on a windows ADS domain. Good start ;-) Actually, I've done this before - but with limit success regarding ADS... I've gotten stuck at this point before, but other priorities have taken over... (We have no Linux sys admin, I'm it by default.) But yes, much happier having Linux infiltrate the Windows network here... :) You need to look into winbind as it will mirror the Windows accounts onto your machine. I have been. I've set up /etc/samba/smb.conf, /etc/krb5.conf, /etc/nsswitch.conf and have a username map file set up. ---snip from nsswitch.conf--- passwd: files compat winbind shadow: files compat winbind group: files compat winbind ---snip--- I've also tried other variations on the above (eg no files, no compat, just winbind or combination of winbind and one of the other two). All to no avail (restarting winbind and samba between attempts). It seems that unless the user has a smbpasswd setup, the Samba server won't accept a connection. Even then it still asks for a username/password to be input when connecting (even if they match the current username/password). Thanks heaps for your help so far. (And to Mike MacCana too.)

Re: [SLUG] SMS Gateway
No worries Edwin. Glad I could help Edwin Humphries wrote: Shaun, Checked them out - they make it very easy to deal with them, and the gy I spoke to understood why I wouldn't want a .NET solution! I'm impressed! Thanks. On 1 Apr 2005 at 16:44, Shaun Butler wrote: Edwin [a] Provider - A provider that I have seen used is MessageNet (http://www.messagenet.com.au/). Look specifically at their MessageNet product offering. [b] Linux-Based Solution - Messagenet provides a number of ways for a Linux host to connect to their service e.g. perl script, c program. With the specific implementation I have seen, output from a program/process/whatever you want gets piped to the Messagenet-supplied perl script, which in turn initiates a TCP/IP connection to the Messagenet SMS gateway and transmits the content of the message.

Re: [SLUG] Evolution - a PITA?

I thought v1.4 was bad enough with its regular crashes, but I think v2 is worse with its cycle hogging, and the compose window stalling for up to a minute. Hm. I run it on my laptop all the time (which I have throttled to 600MHz so it doesn't make so much noise) and have found it very snappy. Particularly when switching between mailboxes -- I found mutt's constant re-indexing of mailboxes a real pain in that situation. It does use a fair bit of RAM though; perhaps you're just seeing delays from swapping. The only thing I miss from 1.4 is the RSS reader. If anyone can suggest an easy way to export the address book then I would like to look at thunderbird instead. If you highlight all your contacts and right-click, there's an option in that menu for 'Save as VCard', which spits out a .vcf file. I believe that's a format that Thunderbird knows how to read. You wouldn't bloody read about it, but Tbird doesn't do Vcard.
