Re: idiocy
While I am very upset with this move, I would not be inclined to dismiss the teeth of these allegations. SCO owns code which was licensed to IBM for use in AIX. IBM has been sinking HUGE assets and time and mind-share into Linux, obviously hurting SCO in their big-hitters. It will probably be tough to prove that IBM has not misappropriated their personnel such that people who have seen the code for certain Unix libraries have worked on the betterment of Linux... in a way that violates their license. Scoff at the management of SCO for being so incredibly idiotic and childish, but their lawsuit will no doubt make IBM stand up and take notice. On the other hand, it may push IBM to take the final steps to get rid of AIX in favor of Linux completely. I'm sure their proprietary software isn't that far away from being portable.

correspond to some distance criteria. Note that Apple's new laptop has an
800 Mbit firewire, and I have heard rumors of a 1600 mBit version in the
works. So, just when USB 2.0 caught up in speed, firewire jumped ahead.
As to digital video ('continuous' images), this should work as well. The
simplest application I have seen for it is called 'dvgrab', which is a
simple command line app to save the video stream. But there are many
ieee1394 video capture GUIs as well. Choose what suites your taste.
We wrote our own 'dcgrab' to provide a digital camera counterpart.

RH8 and Webmin RPM
FYI- I just ran into a problem installing Webmin RPM's on RH8. The cause, as the Webmin download page describes, appears to be RPM4, which segfaults when attempting to install the RPM. The solution, also on the Webmin page, is to download and install the Webmin KEY into RPM4... Weird that this is absolutely necessary, but I tried several flag combinations, and even tried the RH8 GUI for installing RPMs, all of which failed (badly, like REBOOT time failure) until I did the necessary install of the key. Just wanted to let you know. On the personal side, last night I spent several hours with a MCSE/NetWare guy who is looking to use Linux for an ASP he is attempting to get rolling. He has a little experience with DNS and other stuff, and was EXTREMELY impressed as I gave him a tour through Webmin and we set up his critical services and shut off unnecessary stuff. If you have not looked at Webmin recently, be sure to check it out. It is very impressive, even to Windows types.

KMail Woes
I am normally a loyal Sylpheed user by choice. KMail hadn't supported IMAP until after I found Sylpheed and it stuck. Yesterday I decided to use it because I'm writing an automated billing module which emails HTML-based bills and I needed to see how it was going to look to clients. I kept having troubles with KMAIL and IMAP access to my Inbox (it didn't show any mail) and after fiddling the end result was that my inbox got wiped out. I had a folder named INBOX which had previously been a softlink to my mailfile on the server because an early version of Sylpheed on Mandrake didn't read the mail-file correctly. Maybe that caused confusion. This is not good. I'm already extremely frusterated as my Inbox often serves as my ToDo list. I figure there's nothing I can do there, but can anyone shed any light on this one? The IMAP server is the default IMAP server for Caldera OpenLinux 3.1.1.

Re: everybuddy icq
What version of Everybuddy? I don't use ICQ (something about naming my friends instead of numbering them), but I use Everybuddy every day for YM and AIM. It works GREAT!

Re: Kde 3.1 questions
I understand what you are saying, but Tim has a point. It's no mystery that I'm pretty happy with KDE for most things. It is bloated, but I'm into bloat-balancing. I like the pretty's, the things which presidents, managers and directors love to tinker with which make them try and stick with something. I like KDE because it helps me get my work done faster (so long as I have a machine that can keep up). I agree that KDE can cripple CPU's and memory-configs which would be great on a Linux server... but not Win2k or XP. KDE is not for everyone but they definitely are for many. That said, one thing I'm intrigued about is the upcoming enhancements paid for by the German government. Apparently KDE 3.1 or 3.2 is supposed to have an Outlook-like PIM and some back-end stuff. You're looking for a great tool and I understand that... I'm looking for a Windows Killer.

Re: GPhoto for SuSE 8.1 (or equiv)
This is done by the usbcam script. Owner is set to the same user as /dev/audio (logged in X user) and chmod to 600. This occurs at module-load for usb.

Your reckless actions (e-mailing monstrous databases or CDs) adversely impacts the road (network) we all share. I feel even more strongly about system administrators that d/l every new kernel instead of the patch because they're too lazy to learn how to run the patch command. My limit is 50mb per email. I've noticed that people that use attachments are fairly active email users and as such don't present much issue with respect to mail spool size. Also my customer base is probably not as large as David's so my bandwidth and disk storage requirements are not as steep. You can provide what I do, a Samba server on the network for folks to drag and drop large files into a private directory that's also their web document root so they can provide an FTP/HTTP link to d/l files. They are warned that illegal transfer of proprietary files is grounds for disconnection. I'm open for ideas. How many more do you need? You know, you need a license to drive a car on public roads -- the license basically means that you understand the rules of the road. You may not understand why some roads are marked 25, 35, 40, 45, etc., but you know how to conduct yourself safely. Your ISP should have provided you some kind of usage document that constitutes your rules for using the network. I'll bet most folks haven't read it and don't know what they can/can't do and should/shouldn't do. And since when is requesting that folks be considerate of others being elitest? Try putting the shoe on the other foot and see how it feels to get flooded with phone calls because one or two inconsiderate morons have managed to cripple your network (deliberately or accidentally, it makes no difference to the network, and if they're in violation of the usage document they signed, then it's deliberate).

Now, I have a few users in this domain who would prefer that their mail does not go to this internal machine, but is instead forwarded elsewhere. This is where it breaks down for me. I tried the following: 1. Use virtusertable for each specific user. It seems that if you use mailertable for a domain, sendmail does not look at virtusertable for any exceptions to the domain's rule. At least it acts that way. All mail for that domain goes where mailertable says, despite an entry in virtusertable. 2. Only use virtusertable, adding a 'catch all' rule like: @external %1@internal to the end to pass all users without a preference to the internal machine. This also seems to not work. 3. Make a user account and then use /etc/aliases to move each one independently 4. Make a $HOME/.forward file for each user who wants to deviate from the mailertable domain definition. For points 3 and 4, sendmail will consider the setup. However, it will not forward any mail to the machine in mailertable. For those users, it considers them local and will attempt no more. If that same user forwards mail to somewhere other than the place listed in mailertable, the mail happily gets forwarded. Yikes. Need it be so complicated? All I wan is to be able to forward virtual users. The domain being forwarded is not the same as the name of any machines involved.

Knoppix to the rescue!
I have to share my story, so disregard if you don't want to hear it. This morning I got a call from a client that I had done some work for last Thursday. He wanted me to come back in and help him because his freshly installed Win98 machine was toes up. From the description, I would say that was a fair assessment-dead. He would get the Loading Windows 98... and then WHAM! He got his Compaq boot screen again. I told him that I would be in later in the morning and take a look, but it sounded like his install was toast and that he'd end up reinstalling yet again... and tried to bite my lip on suggesting Linux on his desktop for the moment. He's not ready yet. But I WAS thinking about my bootable Linux options so I could SMBMOUNT his neighbor's drive and get his data off the computer. Man, I wish I had burned that copy of Knoppix I d/l'ed the other day. Anyway, before I could go solve his problem I had a meeting, which never materialized. But as I waited for someone to find the person responsible for the meeting, I ended up discussing some non-related computer problems with her boss. My answer, commonly hated among Windows buffs: flaky Windows problem... as indeed it was. Her tech-guy laughed and as it turns out, he's a Linux guy as well. When I showed him my SuSE8.1 install on my laptop, he brought up Knoppix. Oddly enough, he had a spare copy lying around so he gave it to me. I show up at my other client, Knoppix in hand. I verified what he was relaying to me, and explained the issue and resolution. I pop in the Knoppix CD, choose wm (or KDE), and away we went. No DHCP server, so I switched to VC1 and configured the NIC easily enough, and smbmount'ed a share on another PC (no server in this place), and copied 1/2 GB in about 10 minutes. Nice. Very nice. Both Windows partitions showed up in KDE as mountable partitions, etc... All very pretty. And it was that simple! This is my first experience with Knoppix, but it won't be my last.

Re: Comparison between linux and BSD-type systems
Not to be anal, but BSD is not a unix-like OS, it IS Unix. Unlike Linux, BSD stems from the original ATT/Bell unix code. That said, Aaron's assessment is almost exactly what I would say. I have heard that FreeBSD can serve files with Samba faster than NetWare, and is supposed to be just as stable. Microsoft would be good to aim for such goals. Their implementation of NetBIOS is as pathetic as their stability.

Re: Check this one out:
Konq-fan or not, anything that drags developers out of their little It's an IE world afterall chorus is a good thing for us. The browser is using the KHTML engine, which (having run both KDE2.2.1 and KDE3 quite a bit) has improved a good deal over the last year or so. What that means is that KHTML will have a lot more pressure to be good and trim. Standards-compliance is a key point for the Mac team and they've pushed back quite a bit to the KHTML team to fix non-compliant items. Konqueror in 3.0.3 isn't perfect, but it does a lot of the IE-pages better than Mozilla or Netscape. Still, there are things I need NS or Moz for.

I used to HATE SuSE. RedHat has had some weird challenges which has made me sing it's praises as is required of an evangelist. I am in a heavily Microsoft area so I have a lot of evangelizing to do. Little things were just annoying, like their inability to install for me so that the machine name that I typed in was maintained after install... The biggest annoyance was just how difficult it was to configure printing. I had a very difficult time encouraging other tech-newbies to use Red Hat because there didn't seem to be a good way to admin the printing subsystem. Sure, I can create printcap files in VI, but they can't :) I liked David Bandel's description of removing the GNU from some files from the debian distro. Yea, but that's window dressing, and doesn't change the fact that the zealouts are still out there running the show. Dave Bandel is by no means your average linux user, so when he works his voodoo, its magic in the making. I was talking about his comments about removing the GNU from GNU/Linux :) Redhat is also LSB FHS compliant. Granted the last SuSE i touched was their enterprise server release, and that was still horribly perverse in its layout. If things have changed since then, i might not feel the same way. I couldn't say. But if UL is to survive at all I figure I'd better learn how things are laid out. The reason I hated it was because it was different from COL and RH. You have to compile MPlayer with libdvdcss support in order for it to be capable of playing DVDs. THe same is true for Xine. I'll check it. They wouldn't be able to ship libdvdcss, but if the MPlayer packager cared enough, he might have compiled it with the libraries and then just not ship them. Xine looks for the libraries at runtime meaning that they may or may not be there and it will load and work. Does that make sense.

Sory for the long wait before this reply. It's been crazy to say the least. begin [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Mon, 23 Dec 2002 18:38:05 -0500) Who cares? LILO doesn't understand XFS, ext2, ext3, or minix. It just has to know where on the disk the file it needs to boot is located. Awareness of the underlying filesystem is one of GRUB's nice features, to be sure, but LILO's approach makes it more filesystem-agnostic. You are correct. Especially in the nice features comment. That's one reason I like and still use Grub. While LILO has become every bit as pretty as GRUB, GRUB is still more flexible, and over time is understanding more and more filesystems. % And I'm sorry, but I am still of the opinion that for my purposes I am better off using as much distro-stock as possible. I didn't read that anyone was arguing for a super-modified distro, just suggesting that you roll your own kernel. Unless you're paying your distro vendor for support and they won't support you unless you keep your system stock -- thereby begging the question of why you're paying for support in the first place -- I see little value in sticking to the options and choices the vendor made for you. I understand your opinion. I know that one of Linux's great strengths is in its flexibility (see above comments) and customizeability (is that a word?). But without an exceptional reason (eg. a special purpose machine can't do it's special purpose) I value the assumptions I can make about a system which has not been too drastically altered. I also value the ability to make security changes nearly immediately using Vendor-provided RPM's rather than having to get the patch, add it to the .spec file (since I attempt to do very little installation which is not based on an package), rpm -ba (and wait), and hope it all worked out ok.

No offense, but that sounds more like you don't understand why people would use something other than RedHat... :) XFCE may be distro-agnostic, but the list of installed packages and utilities to help a desktop system be a desktop system makes a difference. I have just (possibly) found my new love on the desktop. We're still in the early stages of our relationship, but she seems sweet and has a lot up top :) No, really. I am liking SuSE 8.1 because it has a lot of software included for both desktop and server-type installations, and because it has pretty intelligent handling of dependencies, and the packages (at least from what I'm seeing so far) have been cohesively packaged to play nicely together (unlike my experiences with Mandrake). The include such apps as Audacity (my audio editing software of choice, and very recent version of it) and MPlayer (haven't played with this one yet). Yast2 is visually and logically very nice, although I haven't tinkered with the text configs yet to see if Yast2 can keep its grubby hands off them. Having just installed it last night for the first time, it looks like SuSE took the fixes and new things that UnitedLinux brought into the picture and fixed a lot of 8.0's quirks. We'll see how I feel next month. I'm not proposing marriage yet, but in the wake of the bitter divorce that SCO forced upon me by discontinuing OpenLinux, it looks hop! eful. Most importantly, SuSE doesn't break KDE. I'm a bit overwhelmed by the amount of software that it comes with, and a little disappointed that I had to install a couple packages that I'm used to in a standard install (like KDE Graphics Extras package for ksnapshot) IFUP and IFDOWN are included in this release, but I can't find LOCATE (which I live by).

Re: Server Distros
Ok, I'll be the oddball. I would choose either a SCO UniteLinux install or a SuSE Linux Enterprise Server install. Both are based on the same code (UnitedLinux), and are very stable. I would prefer SCO (even though many would opposed based on the distaste SCO has generated), because once the system is installed, everything is administered with WebMin, including firewall and IPSEC VPN. I'm pretty sure that UL includes XFS, JFS, EXT3, and Reiser support builtin (and of course ext2 and fat). Also included is Server Clustering, YAST2's installer, and all the services you would expect from a good server platform: BackOffice servers (File/Print, email/collaborative, ftp, ssh, databases:MySQL and PGSql, Apache, PHP and Java-Servlets, majordomo, etc...), DNS/DHCP, Security servers (several flavors of VPN including FreeS/WAN's IPSEC, Squid Proxy server, IPTables/NetFilter Firewall, etc...) and even more obscure things like a CVS server and Jabber IM Server; All configureable through webmin's Web GUI interface. Also configureable through the Webmin GUI are server-admin process like backups, a Dialin server, ssh tunnels, service monitoring, and LVM. I prefer servers I can admin in a light fashion from remote (ie. no VNC or Remotely Impossible/WTS) SSH is a great tool for this, but WebMin gives the added value of a pretty interface for your less-savvy admins who quiver in fear at the command-line. Since UL is based on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server, I've found that all of the SuSE RPM's that I have tried have installed flawlessly on UL.

Re: Distirbuitions
begin Net Llama! [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Tue, 31 Dec 2002 13:58:06 -0500 (EST)) That's because i don't care about 90% of the precompiled packages that come with a distro. I build my own version of most things, and rarely use any of the extras that come preinstalled. What I want is a distro that is easy to install, and easy to maintain, and Redhat fits the bill for me. The KDE vs. Gnome wars are irrelevant to me, because i dont' use either. That alone negates the desktop. This is where I started disagreeing with you. If you use a system as a Desktop OS (or more importantly, if you are going to recommend a Linux Desktop for general consumption), it is going to be largely based on the software included. Most people don't have the comfort level and others don't have the time to build all their own software. Someday I'd like to try Gentoo, but I haven't had the time yet... I don't know how you make the time. I rely on so many software packages to get my job done that it is very important for me to have a system that I can have standardized packages to do so. Having done a lot of both Server and Workstation administration, I'm forced to think about a low-impact and low-maintenance install, as well as the importance of similar systems. You admin a couple hundred workstations or servers and such things become dreadfully important. I used Caldera religiously up through their 2.4 release, and then came the great schism, and i moved to redhat. I tried out Debian about 3 years ago, and it was a complete nightmare to install and manage from my perspective. I know exactly what you're talking about. I had to skip COLW31 but found 311 quite decent, however since it was DOA I have been searching for a good distro, both for Server and Desktop. Since I am finding SCO's version of UL a pretty good match for me, and it's based on SuSE, I gave SuSE another chance. Red Hat has always had a lot of weird quirks which I have never quite got over, although I've not used it much since 7.2. Yea, i know there are a few Debian based distros with GUI installers out there, but i never washed the bad taste out of my mouth, and i still dislike the entire GNU/Linux zealotry that comes with Debian. :) I liked David Bandel's description of removing the GNU from some files from the debian distro. I installed SuSE about a year ago, and while the install was ok, managing it was also a nightmware with one of the most non-traditional filesystem layouts i'd ever seen (and this was compared to Redhat, Caldera Debian). I also hated SuSE when I tried it in 7.1 (which was a HUGE improvement over 6.0 which was the last SuSE I tried). The filesystem WAS obtuse... but since I found that UL, which is supposedly LSB and FHS-compliant, had the same base I decided I'd better figure out how it works... I've never attempted Slackware, but i don't see a reason to when i'm satisfied with what i've got. Quite honestly, i've never understood why people spend weeks or months flying through numerous distros. I have personally only done this a couple times, at times when I either felt the need to familiarize myself with what differences really equate to in distros, or when Caldera announced their own distro-scuttling. MPlayer is one of my favorite apps. If you build it from source, you can get some amazing performance improvements, not to mention a very high degree of customization. What makes MPlayer better than Xine? Something that optimises for hardware at compile-time doesn't sound very robust or professional-quality. It just sounds like they are unnecessarily limiting their software. I like the run-time detection approach that Xine uses, although Xine is far from perfect... Since I am mostly interested in DVD and VCD/ASF/AVI playback, Xine seems like a better match for me... although I do like the fact that you can view QT through MPlayer. Yes, I know you wrote the SxS's for Xine and MPlayer :) If MPlayer is built without DeCSS but DeCSS is found on the system at runtime, will it use it for DVD's? Or will I have to go through and rebuild MPlayer to make it so? The latest stable version of XFCE is 3.8.18. Unless you haev that or possibly 3.8.16, you're not getting a clear picture of what's available. Also, the development version of XFCE, 4.x, is available from CVS, and is prolly more stable than KDE's latest. SuSE 8.1 includes XFCE 3.8.16. Did you run CDE or OS/2? This looks a lot like those...

What a mess, but it fixed a lot of stuff. Mounted the partition (the journal played and restored things just fine). umounted the partition and ran xfs_repair. Lots more fixing. Rebooted and things seem to be even better than before (if that's possible). XFS came through with flying colors. Not sure any others (and definitely not ext2) would have.

Re: generating WEP keys
