Thanks. > Certainly, The man page for /bin/false reads: "false - do nothing, unsuccessfully" Basically, when the user logs in the system executes the shell program that is listed in /etc/passwd. If the shell program exits immdiately when the user authenticates, you have, in effect, prevented the user from logging in. In reality you have not, because the system still accepted the user's name and password and tried to execute a shell, but you have just made the user's shell useless. The other option is to disable the user's password, by placing an asterisk at the beginning of it in /etc/shadow. However, this would also prevent your users from being able to login with their mail clients to check mail, which you probably do not want. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C.

need a newsreader with decent filtering
Hi, I've given up on Thunderbird for newsreading (ISP's news server, news.mozilla.org and news.gmane.org for things like Debian lists) given that it won't support filtering on newsgroup cross-posts any time soon, but have had trouble finding an alternative. I'm running Debian unstable with KDE and tried pan, but experienced lock-ups and wasn't happy with the filtering options. At present, I'm trying knode but still seem unable to filter based on the fact that news.gmane.org marks detected spam as cross-posted to gmane.spam.detected (one cannot subscribe to gmane.spam.detected directly, so one can't automatically mark gmane.spam.detected as read).

If you can't find a newsreader that does everything you want on it's own, you might want to take a look at Leafnode: http://www.leafnode.org/ It's an NNTP server you can run locally. You can set it up to pull from all three of the remote servers you use, and do all your filtering within Leafnode. That will free you up to use any gui newsreader you want, regardless of how dumb. :-) You can focus on finding one with an interface you like, without having to worry about whether it can handle multiple servers, do server-side filtering, etc. I think the original idea of Leafnode was to provide people who used "online" newreaders with "offline" newsreading capability, but it does more than that. Basically, Leafnode is to newsreaders as an MTA/MDA is to an email client.

No, sorry, no live CD. I'm running a plain-and-simple Debian
install (onto a hard-disk). The iso file "appears" to be a
standard ISO9660 data file ("file image.iso" says "ISO 9660
CD-ROM filesystem data" so I don't think it's anything special.

The CD that I'm using for this part is just a standard 70 min,
650MB blank cd-r.

Do you mean compression as in "zip, gzip, etc"? If so, I don't
see how that would make any difference to the size occupied by
the iso file and size of its contents. Surely 500MB of text files
takes up the same space as 500MB of gzip files - 500MB to be
precise!

Why do you think this is related to X keyboard mapping?
This "binding" only happens in Gnome apps, and ^O works fine in, for
instance, Emacs (running in its own window).
Looking at the output of xmodmap -pk shows nothing odd, and xev shows
the following if I hit ^O (this is preceeded by the control-key event of

For me, pictures are displayed inline and those larger than the body frame are shrunk to fit. Clicking on it will enlarge it like Firefox does. Multi-part images are easy to view as Pan will show two green interlocked puzzle pieces to indicate all articles are present. A single red puzzle piece means one or more articles are missing. To save a picture, clicking the disk icon pops up the dialog for saving it. Other binaries are handled similarly with the save dialog brought up immediately upon selecting a posting header.

This makes dpkg think that something is corrupted and it wants to fix the problem by replacing your package.

In this thread, some people have given good reasons why they prefer a mailing list to a forum. I like both, and use both. Yes, one of Debian's calling cards is all about freedom, but with such a small user base for an already existing forum, I'm going to exercise my freedom and support the one that already has 7000+ members and help it to grow into a more widely used venue. On the other hand, anyone out there is also perfectly free to set up another forum for all five of the people who may initially use it. When it shows itself to be in some way(s) superior to the existing forum, either in functional capability or in the eventual number of users that may subscribe, I'm sure those of us who use forums will come running. Have to emphasize Andrew's question, though: > > > I'm curious: what does your new forum have to offer that would > > > make me want to use it over, say, forums.debian.net? Moreover, At this moment in history, I would hate to see the "only 7000" on the existing forum fragmented, but, hey, it's a Darwinian thing. If it is some way better, it will win out. My 2 cents.

Hmm, you're probably right. It's a setting within Gnome, but I can't
find it either. Try going into the gconf-editor and browsing the paths.
It might be in there somewhere.
The gconf-editor also has a search feature (Edit/Find). I searched for

I'm sure.

Hi Paolo,
tex maybe one way. If I had the inclination, I think I'd do this:
create a subroutine to read FEN descriptions
create a subroutine to convert that object to x,y notation
create a subroutine to create a chessboard with SVG
create a subroutine to place the pieces on the board with SVG
then maybe add an option to covert it to png if needed.
cheers,
Kev

Hi Miles,
I was just thinking about the interaction between various parts of a
gnome enviroment:
console keyboard
\/
x window keyboard
\/
input methods
\/
gdm
\/
gnome libraries
\/
gnome app
you asert that its not xmodmap. doesnt happen on console. doesnt happen
on other apps that operate in the gnome enviroment. so what parts of the
sequence from keyboard to gnome app are missing? Is this a new starndard
for gnome?
cheers,

I think fragmentation is the biggest issue with the launching of any new community site, whether it is forums, or support sites. Right now my site has ~5400 registered users[0], and a larger number of unregistered people who regularly return. I'd be quite interested to see what the overlap is between the different Debian sites. If it is low then it would suggest that multiple sites are OK, each with their own niche. If it is high it might suggest that more consolidation is useful. (Although expecting site owners to merge their different code/users is going to be hard at best!)

Miles, sorry didn't notice your thread earlier. :( On my system I use
the Keyboard Indicator applet for switching between keyboards (Is this
what you mean by switching input methods?)
My system does not react to either CTRL-O or CTRL-SPACE in any way that
I can notice in gnome apps. I tried CTRL-O in bluefish (html editor)
and it opened a file dialog so that I can "O"pen a file (as is shown in
the file menu).
On my system, the Keyboard Indicator applet allows me to change which
key combination changes keyboard. I'm using sid now with gnome 2.14. HTH.

It seems to me that a lot of people confuse boards with forums. The latter are really lucid and can offer some features you are used to from mailing lists.

Why anyone would want to go back 20 years is beyond me. Webforums are too slow and cumbersome to read. I can read 10 times faster with my mail/news client than I can on a web forum. Web forums are not better. They're just a crutch for times when you have to hobble around without a good email/news client.

Re: debian forum
Good point. Not much more I can say in response to your message. Cat got my tounge i spose. I would like to see the forum have a fair go anywhos and see if it can actually become usefull and not just a waste of resources. Rermeber it is not to take over the maillinglist, but as a palce to tlak in depth about problems and off topic talk.

Re: debian forum
The people who help out will always be there. They help out, not becuase the have to, but becuase they enjoy helping people. Anywayz not much i can say in response to your message, as all your points are very valid. I would like to see the forum work out as, the second palce to go if the mailing list does not help. And the palce to go for in depth solutions to problems and a place to through ideas around and talk "off topic".

Sounds like there may be some hard linked files. You won't be able to see that directly, but if you find some identical files, I'd suspect they share data space on the disc. mkisofs apparently will create such discs if it detects hard links on the source file system. -- Rob signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I think that, given time, it will all sort out. Some may not want to go anywhere but here. Others may find they like a forum more.

Pan worked OK here, but the version that's in debian now would lock up reading some largish newsgroups - it's memory requirements are tremendous.
