RE: Caldera 2.3 Netware Printing
Title: RE: Caldera 2.3 Netware Printing Hi, there should be a nprint command that you have to use to write a script that you can define in your printcap under of=. That's how I did it. Would you mind explaining a little bit more about this script, what it should do, is it a print filter etc. What interests me more is wether you logged in into NDS proper (giving a name like xxx.yyy.zzz) and subsequent mounts where without password. Also can you mount an NDS server ? How much is the Caldera Netware client really NDS aware ? I don't know a lot about Netware and NDS, just some basic client-side things. I did manage to nwlogin to NDS tree as nwlogin -t tree -u xxx.yyy.zzz, then ansewring the password. After this i can see our corporate NDS structure (almost all) under /Netware/NDS without any additional mounting.

Re: IGLU@eGroups
Is Linux-IL a big source of spam? Is it harvested? Any evidence? I believe the plasma-gate archives are. since the addresses are not linked anymore, I can't say if it still is, as my dedicated return address doesn't get spammed (yet). fact is too many here got the same spams (like me and Omer Zak get frequent spam in Turkish). This is just 2. Anyone else? I don't recall any Turkish spams. it should be swift and painless. Excellent. because people DON'T. I got some 8-9 requests to resend the meeting announcement in private Email. makes little sense. And you think that you won't get those if the calendar is available in some other form? By all means, let's have a calendar, if only to reduce the number of personal queries to 6-7. All I am saying is I am kinda sceptical about the effect (I am for it in any case). WHAT maintainer? A very valid point. the calendar on Egroups sends prescheduled messages to the list if requested. and there will be a central place to update events by ENYONE ON THE LIST, no need to trust a single contact webmaster-of-the-month. Verification of the source of a change won't be an issue, I suppose. I do. all those unsub requests on the list drive me mad sometimes, and I can't do s*t about it. And why do you think they won't?

Re: IDC meeting remarks
On Sun, 9 Jan 2000, Schlomo Schapiro wrote: I just wanted to blow off some thoughts and feelings on the meeting: 2. The ipchains lecture by Ira was also very interesting, but demands a more in-depth workshop of Linux security and firewalling (I imagine something like setting up a firewall step-by step and showing at each step what it blocks and how to still break in). I was meaning to do a more in-depth lecture, starting with the basic concepts of the IP stack and corelating it to the OSI 7-layer model, a short TCP schematic, and about the need for the filters. I still intend to give a much more serious talk about it. this friday it simply wasn't planned and prepared (I was caught off-guard with some of the questions), I was only trying to give the audience a taste of what's coming, and did a highly technical, stacato short lecture seeing who the audience was. I promiss a "calmer" more detailed lecture next time when I prepare it right :-) 3. The location was very nice, the lecture class perfect (After finding it, that is). The only real problem with the IDC is that it is not too well connected to public transportation so that only people with cars (or a ride in one) can come (and go when they want). there are 2-3 lines connecting the closest main road to the Herzlia central station, I admit it leaves a lot to be desired, that's why I offered to pick people up from the Raanana- kfar saba junction (where there are dozens of lines to all over the country) 4. The time was totally unsuitable for such a meeting at such a location at this time of the year: I might have been the only 'dati' person attending (and can imagine the other dati members not coming because of I agree. we did have a vote on days and friday won, and then in the vote on hours, the morning won. however 11am was the earliest I could get a room. for next month I have a lecture room for te whole day, so we may start gathering as easly as 9am for all I care (I'll peel myself out of bed for the event!) for March I'll try to book a room ASAP, so it could again be as early in the morning as possible. another option is to look at Saturday night... but I don't think it would be too popular. (11 am) and/or the place are not good. If the meeting woul have been in a highly connected place (like for example the TA central busstaion) than I could have left whenever I felt that I should go home, but like this of course I had no choice. you didn't have a ride to Jerusalem?! I was aware of the fact, and asked people during my bit about IPchains several times if it was getting late, and tried to keep it short anyway, please don't be shy to ask to break out of the party next time :-) BTW, I suggested to make a Linux picnic (some month ago) with the idea in mind that at such an event also people who usually can't come because of family limitations could come since we would have a by-program for the accompanying family. Perhaps we should re-activate this idea, then it died out because of lack of interest.

Re: IGLU@eGroups
I want to clarify my point, since at least Ira didn't seem to understand my suggestion. I did not suggest listproc as the correct solution - although I have been using it for a long time and never had any privileges and only did remote management. In my opinion, all mailing list software packages are basically the same. They should allow digests, vacation mode, subscribe, unsubscribe, and moderation from time to time. Majordomo, listar, listproc or any other all have these basic needs. But what I did is something e-groups offers: don't hold the actual list at e-groups, but use your existing service, and only subscribe the e-group as a non-digest user of the list. This normally requires intervention on the part of the list owner, as the e-group can't answer its subscription confirmation message, and should be confirmed manually. Once this is done, however, the list can continue to operate in the same manner it did so far - and I for one have no complaints on the listar service - but be archived on e-groups, with all their bells and whistles, including that spam protection. This way, e-groups does not put any advertisments on the messages themselves - because it is not part of the sending mechanism. There are only the advertisments in the archive itself. I think this suggestion is the ideal compromise between the two points of views presented here. One: don't fix what ain't broken, don't require people to migrate to another software. Two: e-groups has a lot to offer (spam protection of addresses, calendar, polls, bells and whistles). Comments? Clarifications?

Actually, it's about two messages per each message to the list. It was more until the cleanup I did yesterday (unsubscribed many broken addresses). It can be reduced to zero by unsubscribing the other offending addresses, but both are errors that I suspect might be fixed soon so I'll leave them for a few more days. (Listar doesn't handle bouncing by itself, it's not an MTA -- it passes the messages to send to exim, with Sender: linux-il-bounce, and whatever it gets on the linux-il-bounce address, it forwards to the admin.) Generally, my policy is that if the error is fixable, I leave it for a few days, and if it's not fixed anyway, I unsubscribe the person, so when he fixes it he can subscribe back again. 4)I donno what you want from list-owner or vadik the e-mail address for admin problems is [EMAIL PROTECTED] and one of the admins would answer. that's the first I have heard of that Email address, listname-owner is the usual standard, and that gets checked once a week or two, check it out.

Re: IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM
Hi Try to see what is the name model of the CD as windows detect it, then see if you can find the cdrom site, maybe you can update the bios or see some relevant information.

Re: PRINTER
Hello, If you'll end up deciding to buy a non expensive BW laser postscript printer please drop me a line. I might buy one myself in the very near future so hopefully buying 2 printers at a time might get us a better deal. In particular, I am considering the Lexmark Optra E310. I have an offer from Getter for $450, VAT excluded. I hope they will not withdraw since they made this offer several weeks ago. This model is published by Lexmark with a $400 price tag. I believe it can be bought in the US even for as low as $370, although Getter claims that what they sell has an Hebrew fonts built in.

Re: memory problem
i have an old 133MHZ pentium with 32Mb of ram. my linux (red-hat 6.0 kernel 2.2.5-15) detects only 13-14MB. i solved this problem with linux mem=32M at lilo prompt. it's seems to work fine but when i try to run the command startx it gives me an error message: segmentation fault and halt's. is there any other way to solve this. It sounds as if you have memory hole enabled (usually done for isa vga cards). If you don't need the hole, disable it in the bios. If you do have an isa vga card you have a few options: 1. disable the memory hole, so the card can't be used in linear mode, so XF86 will only run at 8bpp. svgalib (and maybe commercial X servers) can still use high color modes. 2. Enable the memory hole and use only 14MB of ram. 3. Enable the hole, and either upgrade to 2.3, or look for a e820 patch for 2.2 kernel. -- Matan Ziv-Av.

Remote X windows
Hi, I'm looking to put a Linux box at my work for the employees to learn Linux and use it from their Windows NT machines at work, and for me - from home.. I have tried VNC - but it seems that: 1. This program is not built to run for multiple users (you need to run for each one "vncserver") 2. It's SLOW - very slow over ISDN (64k) connection.. I've looked a bit for a solution which will: 1. Run an X enviroment on NT 2. Can be used with multiple connection (in other words - built for multi users) 3. Can connect over modem/ISDN line. So far I have found Starnet Xwin Hummingbird exceed .. Anyone here with experiment with one of those programs? are they easy to configure? other alternatives? Thanks -- Hetz Ben Hamo - Sys.

Run an X enviroment on NT Exceed or Xwin-32 I've had fabulous experience with X-Win32, so if you can afford the price ($200 for a station), it's a great solution. 3. Can connect over modem/ISDN line. any such solution will be very slow. you have been warned. There's software that helps a little bit here, called dxpc -- "differential X protocol compressor". It acts as an X protocol proxy and compresses all the traffic. Pretty nifty. Anyone here with experiment with one of those programs? are they easy to configure? other alternatives?

There's even a special distribution for this purpose, called Xenu or Xdenu or something like that, search for it. It runs on UMSDOS, so you'll have a 15 MB or so C:\Linux directory (not a big deal), and then you can create an icon on the desktop for the loadlin batch file, and have xdenu automatically launch "X -remote server.com" -- very friendly and works very well. -- Alex Shnitman| http://www.debian.org [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] +--- http://alexsh.hectic.netUIN 188956PGP key on web page E1 F2 7B 6C A0 31 80 28 63 B8 02 BA 65 C7 8B BA "Xenix is the pinnacle of modern UNIX design, and will be used for many years to come." -- Xenix OS API manual PGP signature

Re: memory problem
Some BIOSes used to have an option for 15-16 memory hole. Since your kernel initially report on no more then 15M ram I would check if you have such an option and if it is not enabled. Hi all i have an old 133MHZ pentium with 32Mb of ram. my linux (red-hat 6.0 kernel 2.2.5-15) detects only 13-14MB. i solved this problem with linux mem=32M at lilo prompt. it's seems to work fine but when i try to run the command startx it gives me an error message: segmentation fault and halt's. is thereany other way to solve this. please help.
