Re: How do I set up an IRC site?

Othr than using GAIM and ymessenger, the last time I did live chat was circa 1991 with the write utility. So beyond that, I'm clueless. I use hybrid (http://ircd-hybrid.com/) for the ircd - I chose that for its reputed stability. Hybrid's not the most featureful ircd out there, but it's been great to me. I added on hybserv (http://www.hybserv.net/) for services. For the web front-end part, I've tried several, from java clients to a cgi gateway. pjirc (http://www.pjirc.com/about.php) is a very sweet java applet. It's free, slick looking, very configurable (on the back/admin end) and very featureful as java clients go. Some limitations of java clients is that your clients need network access to the irc server (some sites/networks/companies/etc. block irc access) and you need java (which not all browsers/OSes support). That's why I also offer a cgi-to-irc (http://cgiirc.sourceforge.net/) gateway. It's a bit clunky, but it allows people who can't use the java client (for one of the above reasons) to still connect to irc via the web. /-/ Who made the world I cannot tell; 'Tis made, and here am I in hell.

I believe that you will be very unhappy if you are reporting for that reason.

Re: X11 and virtual consoles.... (startx + vlock)
1. What about backgrounding startx and then exiting your shell? 2. Have you tried using lock -np instead of vlock? On Mon, 17 Apr 2006, Eric Schuele wrote: Eric Schuele wrote: Hello, [hadn't worn my newbie hat lately... so I thought I'd try it on.] Is there a way to run X via startx and prevent someone from switching back to the console that started it and pressing Ctrl-C, without using DontVTSwitch in my xorg.conf file? I would like to be able to use multiple virtual consoles. But do not like the idea of someone switching back to *my* virtual console... killing X and having my account available to them. This way I could lock my session via xscreensaver, and walk away. Then someone else could login and use the machine... just not *my* account. I had envisioned something like a script that did the following: #!/bin/sh startx vlock Yet vlock does not like this at all. I was hoping to background startx... and then lock the virtual console. :) A little more info So it appears that vlock works if I manually background startx from the console, and then run vlock. but inside the script vlock gets into a loop in which it thinks it is seeing keystrokes... and repeatedly (quickly) says that the password is bad, please try again. It does this forever. Additionally, the script works just fine for root. It behaves exactly as I would like. It startx and then locks the console. Lastly, I have done a bit more googling, looking for vlock and startx specifically... and found that (at least in the past) many people have done it this way with success. I'm not sure what I might be doing wrong here. I did turn up one bug that sounds very much like what I am experiencing but it appears to have been fixed some time ago. I wonder if there is a regression? Anyone using `startx ; vlock` successfully? Is there anything that might accomplish something similar?

I suppose preferred would depend on what your priorities are.

problem with ipsec and sendmail
I don't know if this is the right list, but here goes: I'm having trouble with an ipsec implementation. The ipsec part works fine, but now that it's set up, mail does not pass between the machines in question. I have set up ipsec on two machines, both connected to the internet. Machine A is supposed to relay mail to Machine B, but mail just queues on Machine A. sendmail tries to relay the mail, but the connections time out. I'm able to pass mail manually (by telnetting to sendmail on the remote machine and issuing SMTP commands directly) and that works. sendmail also passes mail normally if I take disable ipsec. With ipsec enabled, all of my network tests between Machine A and Machine B succeed (ping, telnet, ssh). Machine A is running FBSD 4.10, B is running 4.8. Simple google searches did not yield any useful information. Please let me know what other details of my implementation you would find pertinent, if any. I wanted to keep the SNR high.
