Re: Can't authenticate to ipop3d (SOLVED!)
Well, problem solved. Turns out things were NOT authenticating correctly on normal logins, hence ipop3d couldn't either. It fooled me because everything I was doing used ssh keys to get in. Anyway, it does not work to copy the user entries from /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group, /etc/gshadow from the old RH8 to the new install of RH9. No doubt there is something more to be done.

Such as traceroute from Linux to the world or pinging the ISP's router, etc. The ISDN Terminal Adapter (i.e., modem) sends the requests, the SD light goes on, but never receives a reply, no RD light. I've been experiencing this problem for the last week to 10 days. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be the cause? I've replaced some hardware including the hub and cabling and I've tried using an analog modem but the same problem persists. The Linux box has been running for a very long time without any changes. (For those of you heavily in the Windows world, a user rebooted the Linux box the other day to see if it would fix the problem but it, obviously, didn't.) Sounds like a typical broken DNF issue. Try lowering the MTU on the Linux box' connection to your ISP and see if that helps: ifconfig dev mtu 296 If not, does your ISP permit multiple systems behind a NAT box?

Footers in Enscript
I may be missing something obvious, but: The enscript (1.6.3) man page claims that the footer option works just like the header option, but, when I try it I get no footers in the output. Looking at the postscript output shows that although my footer string is indeed in the postscript file, there is no do_footer routine like there is for do_header. I have the sinking feeling there is no do_footer routine in enscript, despite what the man page claims. Does anyone implement footers in enscript (without having to write your own footer routine?)

Re: Footers in Enscript
Well, it looks like if you want footers you sorta have to roll your
own. My solution is attached below.
I guess there is no do_footer routine because the do_header routine
does the footers, too, at least in some circumstances. There happens
to be a supplied fancy header a2ps.hdr which also prints a footer. So,
here is a footer.hdr which just prints out the page numbers at the lower
right corner. That's all I wanted to do.
This gets really easy once you poke around in the hdr files supplied
with enscript. Just gotta know a little postscript, is all. The trick
is realizing that all the positions on the paper, eg., d_footer_x, are
generated by enscript. You just have to fool with the %Format strings
at the start of the hdr file to get the information you want to show n
the header. The more adventurous can fool with the graphical stuff in
the hdr file.
Then, when you invoke enscript, use this option:
--fancy-header=footer

I tried Linux network administration guide of Orally but that book was made in 2000 and also does not cover many of the configuration files of system utilities. Can you please help me to go to correct web page(s) . Thanx in advance.

Re: Networking issues
I've had issues using ifconfig to set MTU. Also, if the problem is MTU, you'll want to set your Windows system MTU down as well... I believe Windows is not very good at responding correctly to the ICMP messages which control transmission size. It just makes everything cleaner. Try the Linux box first. If this clears it up, I'd recommend doing the Windows system as well. If ifconfig does not work for you (I believe the issue I've seen could be NIC-specific) you can use the ip command: MYBOX# ip link set interface mtu 1300 On Sat, 27 Sep 2003 07:07:47 -0500 David A.

When I first connect the Linux box to the ISP, I can: 1) Use the Linux box to traceroute to everything (the ISP blocked ICMP so I can't ping outside their network). 2) Use the Linux box to browse the web (using Lynx). 3) Use the WinXX PC's to browse the web to some sites (google, domains hosted by ISP, etc.) When I first connect the Linux box to the ISP, I can not: 1) Use the WinXX PC's to tracert beyond the first two hops, Linux box is first and the ISP's router is the second. 2) Use the WinXX PC's to browse the web to anything big such as Yahoo!, ABCNews, FoxNews, WeatherChannel, etc. After a while (sometimes 5 minutes, sometimes 20 or more) I begin to lose some functionality. Such as traceroute from Linux to the world or pinging the ISP's router, etc. The ISDN Terminal Adapter (i.e., modem) sends the requests, the SD light goes on, but never receives a reply, no RD light. I've been experiencing this problem for the last week to 10 days. Does anyone have any thoughts as to what might be the cause? I've replaced some hardware including the hub and cabling and I've tried using an analog modem but the same problem persists. The Linux box has been running for a very long time without any changes. (For those of you heavily in the Windows world, a user rebooted the Linux box the other day to see if it would fix the problem but it, obviously, didn't.) Sounds like a typical broken DNF issue. Try lowering the MTU on the Linux box' connection to your ISP and see if that helps: ifconfig dev mtu 296 If not, does your ISP permit multiple systems behind a NAT box? There are ways to detect nat'd systems, and he _might_ be blocking them (would be the first time I've heard of this happening though). Ciao, David A.

fmt: How to skip some text?
I want to use fmt in vi to format text, eg: :1,$ ! fmt -w 130 Without vi, this command would look like: cat file ! fmt -w 130 I want it to format everything except lines which begin with at least two blanks, like this: 1. My list First Second Third Is there anyway to do this with fmt? par? sed?
