Re: [gentoo-user] screen and Ctrl-S not working any more?

 Hmm.. on many systems, CTRL S is used to stop output on a terminal. CTRL Q
 resumes it. Probably the terminal driver is intercepting it before it gets
 through ssh to your emacs session. On many terminals you can precede any
 control sequence with CTRL V to bypass the terminal driver.

Thanks for your input. Appearently I switch XON/XOFF setting for just
one window in the running screen session and got confused about it.

Thanks anyway!

 man screen then search for C-s to get the scoop. ;)

Hmm, thanks, did that, did'n notice that I changed anything in regard to
this, maybe I accidently toggled the settings.

Thanks for your help,

[gentoo-user] screen and Ctrl-S not working any more?

2005-07-03 Thread Martin Carpella
Hi!

When connecting to one of my gentoo servers via SSH, I've got a strange
problem: Ctrl+S is not sent to my screen sessions any more, instead
handled directly by the shell, causing the sesssion to freeze. This is
extremly annoying as many emacs shortcuts require Ctrl+S.

Anyone got any idea what could have changed?

Best regards,
Martin

Re: [gentoo-user] No HTML in posts?

Hi!

James Colannino [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 I'm very against HTML mail, just for the record.  That being said,
 aren't there HTML filters for command line mail clients that will strip
 tags from your view of the text and make it more readable?  Just
 wondering.

I'm using Gnus in emacs to read my newsgroups and mailinglists on a ssh
terminal, so I'm stuck to console for the moment (not that I'd regret
it, though :)). Gnus for instance supports the inclusion of
lynx/elinks/elinks2 for reading HTML messages. Still, I prefer to read
plain text for some reasons, especially because I have
quote-highlighting turned on and that just works with the common  or
| tags in front of every quotation line.

 Now, I could always leave the mail on the POP3 server just for that, but
 I also want to know how Sylpheed will act upon my current settings
 (labels, filters, etc). And I just don't want to have to manage two mail
 directories, even temporarily.

In this case I'd suggest using IMAP. If your provider does not support
IMAP you could easily set up your own local IMAP server. Since I first
tried IMAP I can't imagine working without it anymore, as I have to
access several mailboxes from different machines and keeping them all in
sync would be horrible/impossible with POP3.

Re: [gentoo-user] Users with access to shell!

[EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 How can secure my server with this users accessing to shell? ,

If you can't trust your users you always have a problem as shell access
and/or compiler-access are the first steps to installing a root-kit if
they are really up to this kind of things.

Putting them in a changeroot might help in some cases but there are
often ways out of the jail.

In my opinion: if you can't trust your users you should not give them
shell access. At least that is what I am doing with my users on my
servers.

Just my 2 cents,
Martin

 Actually all of my pages are either in / or /admin/.  If I leave the
 above I get a 403 when accessing https though.

Directory is related to the file-system directory, so you are setting it
for your system's root, not your webpage's root.

You need to have a
Directory /path/to/your/webpage/
 
/Directory

Re: [gentoo-user] Programs executed as root cannot connect to X server

 I think you might be looking for this command (normal user):

 % xhost +localhost

Note however that this can be dangerous, as now every local user could
send you a window to your X-server, not only root.
