Re: [SLUG] Taxes on sending servers to the US

I'm going to visit our office overseas soon and we were wondering how much would it cost (tax-wise) to just pack a couple of them as a checked-in luggage. The sale closes soon so I need a quick answer. I'd be surprised if the cost and hassle of exporting + buying here exceeds the cost of just buying one there. Also, what about e.g. warranty? Sometimes they care where you bought it. I brought a simeple 3 year old desktop from Europe into Aus when I moved back here some time ago and (from memory) had to pay sales tax on it! Bloody stupid. BTW, more of a question for slug-chat. Matt -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] NIS problem - non-existent map
Hi Running Centos 4 with one machine as YP server (ypserv 2.8) and one as a yp client. In the messages log of the server I constantly see messages like this: Aug 12 12:28:46 sydsrv12 ypserv[20413]: refused connect from 192.168.0.56:38230 to procedure ypproc_match (jgc,shadow.byname;-1) Aug 12 12:29:14 sydsrv12 ypserv[20413]: refused connect from 192.168.0.56:38230 to procedure ypproc_match (jgc,shadow.byname;-1) Aug 12 12:29:22 sydsrv12 ypserv[20413]: refused connect from 192.168.0.56:38230 to procedure ypproc_match (jgc,shadow.byname;-1) Aug 12 12:30:13 sydsrv12 ypserv[20413]: refused connect from 192.168.0.56:38230 to procedure ypproc_match (jgc,shadow.byname;-1) sydsrv56 is the client btw. How can I find what program is trying to access the shadow.byname map? I suspect (from the frequency) that it dovecot may be the culprit The server does not have that map and on the client there is no mention of shadow in the nsswitch.conf - all commented out. Any clues please? TIA Nigel -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
