Instead try: mount -t smbfs //etbodnyk/proengineer /var/www/proengineer It will prompt you for a password. Ben -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

You should instead set the other computers on the network to use your router as a gateway, which will then route stuff out to the internet via its default gateway. > Do I need a cross over cable or would that not be necessary? If they are directly connected by a cable and not via a hub then yes, you will need a crossover cable for them to communicate.

Re: telnet and old ANSI graphics

You need a vga font capable of displaying the 8-bit ansi graphics. Try http://www.dreaming.org/~giles/bashprompt/xfonts/ for a collection of links to such fonts and how to install them on your font server.

A solution for your situation would probably be to use an agent like fetchmail to pick up mail from the respective pop3 mailboxes at your isp and then forward them to your local MTA (exim) for delivery to your respective local mail folders. You don't send mail via a pop3 server. If you have exim running it will be able to send mail via smtp to the intended recipients, without having to use your isp's mail servers at all. So it would be email client -> local server -> remote server. I don't use Kmail but I can't imagine it would be difficult to get it to poll your mail spool (default on debian is /var/spool/$USERNAME) for incoming mail and use your local smtp server for outgoing mail. -- Ben Goodstein Human Being Extraordinaire -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Strange syslog behaviour
I am running Debian Woody 3.0r2 and have recently noted my system behaving strangely. In my daily email from the Cron Daemon I have noticed the following appearing: /etc/cron.daily/sysklogd: cat: /proc/197: No such file or directory cat: 8/cmdline: No such file or directory eventually the same thing happens with /etc/cron.weekly, i.e.: /etc/cron.weekly/sysklogd: cat: /proc/197: Invalid argument cat: 8/cmdline: No such file or directory At this point, the daemon stops logging and most of my running processes go into a SW state, and the system slowly becomes unusable (I am unable to run perl, or access my mysql databases for instance). At this point I cannot even reboot gracefully as the shutdown scripts cannot kill the sleepwait processes. Can anyone suggest what might have gone wrong with sysklogd or the logrotate scripts?
