[CentOS] Wireless
Hi folks I have a Centos 5.3 Box and I'm trying to setup an small wireless link with the AP of a neighbour. I have a brand new NETGEAR WG111V2 USB-WIFI adaptor for that, but Centos doesn't recognize that. Any suggestions? I already tested it on windows XP and the link works fine. How can I do this on Centos? Thanks in advance David ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] NTP
Hi folks I have a Centos 5.3. I'm wondering how can I make this linux box to act as a time server for my small network. I just need this Centos PC act as a time reference for the other PCs so they can keep the time exact the same as the Centos server. Don;t need to syncronize the server with tyhe internet, just keep my local network with the same time in all the PC. Thanks in advance David___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

[CentOS] Fetchmail question
Hi folks This question is about fetchmail running on my Centos 5.3 box. I need to fetch my email from different accounts living on remote servers and drop it on my local mailbox. The question is wich way is faster for fetchmail... using POP3 or IMAP? Thanks David ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
Re: [CentOS] Fetchmail question
Actually I'm using POP3, but just looking for improvements in speed. Plus, fetchm,ail doesn't allow fetch more than one account at a time, and it's kind slow in the secure handshaking. There is another package should I "explore" using it to improve speed?

IMAP is meant to have all messages stored on the server and thus supports folders and other more advanced features. Based on what you are trying to accomplish, I would use POP3. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
