[gentoo-user] Linux/Active Directory - Multible Subdomains
Hi, Question: Is it possible to create an Active Directory forest with multible subdomains and make Linux know everything about each Windows domain? Right now, we have one domain and it is possible to do authentication against the Active Directory. But now, another department would like to have its own directory/sub-domain. This means: uid=xyz could be located on two different directory servers within the Active Directory forest. AFAIK, I can only ask one Active Directory server while using LDAP and this server only knows the people from its own domain. Am I right?

This is what I know from past resources of ICQ, at least: even if someone is not on your contact list, you can send and e-mail to something like UIN@ SOMETHING.icq.com and the message will arrive to that user. For other protocols, I don't even know how to help you. Hmm, when you install pidgin, it also installs a text-based IM software, for you to use from a console. Maybe you should take a look at that.

Look at http://vorner.pretel.cz/en/projects.html#jelnet -- it's a jabber telnet, you can let it connect to server and pipe some raw protocol into it. So you need something like: jeltet [EMAIL PROTECTED] --password=password END message to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' type='headline' subjectNotification/subject bodyThis is your notification/body /message END It has a disadvantage -- it logs in, sends a message and logs out every time you send a notification. If you want to send from time to time, it is no problem, but with a notification every minute or so, it can be an issue.

[gentoo-user] Video Network Stream from Pipe
Hi! I'm currently trying to set up a personal video recorder in form of a headless server using mencoder and freevo. What I would like to do is watching the movie while mencoder is realtime encoding it to x264/vorbis in a Matroska container. I already tried it using sshfs. Unfortunately, the file is only read up to the point where it ended when playing it started. I don't know if NFS would behave better. Well, what I thought about was doing it like this: #!/bin/bash mencoder [...] -o - | tee video.mkv | stream-app So far it should work and vlc would be the natural choice for the streaming app. However, vlc seems unable to read from a pipe so I need something else. Can anyone give me a tip? maybe I missed an option in vlc or can someone propose an app that can be used instead? By the way: It's a 100MBit ethernet network without any switches or hubs. The machines are right next to each other. I hope it will be a 400 or even 500MBit net soon, but that's another topic ... signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Somehow having a tty attached works around that. A way to test is to launch emacs in the background from a terminal (with at the end). If emacs hangs, I do fg in the shell and hit enter a couple of times and emacs will (sometimes) continue its initialization process. A better work-around than firing off emacs in the foreground is to make more of your .emacs do AUTOLOAD rather than REQUIRE or LOAD. Better yet is to have emacs-server or gnuserv running, and putting emacsclient/gnuclient in the browser editor-config.

You need to read the GPL, the BSD license, the Perl Artistic license, etc, and stop panicing. Once released, FLOSS cannot be recalled.
