apach2 and perl?
I just installed apache2 on my web server. Looks good except my perl scripts in my cgi-bin directory are being printed instead of executed. I'm poking around the apache.org site but no reference as of yet. Can anyone point me to a doc or howto before I have to back this out? Thanks, Robert :wq! --- Robert L.

mutt-magic?
I'm running unstable and mutt+spammassassin+procmail for mail. It works great and I get a very reliable filtering. On occasion though one slips through. I dutifully save it to a file then run "spamassassin -r < spammail" on it to report it for future diagnosis, etc. I'm wondering if anyone knows a good way with mutt to tag a message and then pipe it into "spamassassin -r"...

Perfered idle kicker?
I'm being tasked to come up with a way to kick idle users off off systems. I've seen different ways of doing this in the past but haven't used them. What's your "prefered" methods?

Nope, it's quite intentional. Ths fun site is keeping up with who's who.

Hmm, I installed this over the weekend and played with it a bit. I
found something odd:

rharris pts/1Feb 24 08:49 (rharris)
The connection on pts/0 was one I let connect and idle. After a bit I
got a warning on my console for that screen that I'd be kicked in 30
seconds. After another 15 mins nothing else changed on my screen. I
did a "w" and it shoed me disconnected. I did a "who" and it still
shows it. I hit enter on that console and it is indeed still connected.
Nothing shows in my messages file either.
Any thoughts?

Re: IPv6 subnet?
The question was on "how" to configure it to piggy back it on an IPv4 interface or the best method to do that.

Looks great and seems to work except for the upgrade. On the second machine I do the "--set-selections" portion then the update and upgrade. It says nothing to upgrade, nothing to install.

IPv6 resolvers?i
I'm trying to get IPv6 running on 2 of my systems. One is Unstable,
the other is Stable. On both of them I do a:
host (ip6 addr for a known machine) and I get nothing.
root@wally
{0}:/usr/share/doc/apache-common>host test-ip6.company.com
root@wally
{0}:/usr/share/doc/apache-common>
However if I do it from my friend's OS-X mac it resolves fine.
If I do the host -v I can see it querry the server:
root@wally
{0}:/usr/share/doc/apache-common>host -v test-ip6.company.com
Trying "test-ip6.company.com"

Do I need a different resolver? Suggestions on where to get them?
(Sorry I can't give out the hostname as it's a tester on a commercial

Ok, that resolves. Now if I put:
hosts: files dns
I can ping6 a machine on my local lan. If I put dns first it doesn't
resolve properly.

Re: Debian Linux Compatability
I prefer my system to have Debian installed then install VMWare to run windows with "undoable" disks. When I shut down windows it asks me if I want to save changes to my disks. If I haven't done anything critical to my box (major service pack or some app installed) I just say no. Next time I boot I have nice clean disks with no errors. One addition, I install my apps to D: which is an NFS share from another server when possible. Keeps the C: images clean.

Hardware RAID is faster, especially since it offloads calculations (parity, etc) from the CPU. In RAID5 for example hardware RAID generally blows away software in the event of running in degraded mode. This is of course except in the instance of a very bad HW vendor with a bad implementation.

I don't "need" unstable and probably only want it on one of my desktops but I like it spread around for the new and neat things. I also understand I'm probably going to deal with some nasty breaks.

Poor Why I just sent a "fix" to the list early this morning hoping to cut some fo those off.

Re: argh! aptitude/dselect/apt-get dieing????
Very nice writeup. Question, what if you want foo from unstable and it requires a version of bar in unstable but your existing bar is from testing? What if bar isn't installed at all and the requirement is going to install it? Will apt do the right thing at this point?

Pinerc Folders -> muttrc folders???
At work we have an SSL mail server. I've gotten my mailboxes working
fine for that but there's a new "catch" certail aliases are archived off
to another IMAP folder. Under pine they can just change folders and up
they pop to be browsed through. I'm trying to set up the same thing in
mutt but not having much luck.
Under pine it reads:
folder-collections={mail.rdlg.net/novalidate-cert}[],
{mailhost.sea.rdlg.net}custmail/[],
{mailhost.sea.rdlg.net}corpmail/[],
{mailhost.sea.rdlg.net}provmail/[]
I tried a number of combinations for such for "mailboxes" and "folder"
options under my .muttrc but obviously somethingi s missing. Anyone got
a good guess? I've dug around the mutt home page without much luck as
well.

Since I started using GPG to sign my emails my father is having issues with reading them. Here's description of what he's see'ing. I'm using the latest mutt from unstable. Anything one of us can set to get around this other than me turning off auto-signing? - Forwarded - I'm still using OutLook Express. Same that I have had since the cable hook-up last year. With the most recent mails from you, the messages come only as an 'Attatchment' that must be opened after the initial page of your mail is selected. I have to click on the "paper clip" icon, then select one of two attatchment designators, then select 'open' or 'save' ,then select 'continue'. Your message finally comes up in block formate in a seperate window. Maybe secure for you, but as I said, if I get something from someone like this form someone I am not expecting, or in a generic heading(i.e.,"The info you asked for', 'A funny Joke', etc.) I won't open it. Some of your other recipiates may not also, and you might lose some mail. - End forwarded message - :wq! --- Robert L. Harris | PGP Key ID: FC96D405 DISCLAIMER: These are MY OPINIONS ALONE.

Re: [robertsharris@comcast.net: Re: Fw: Ga. Visit.]
Great, you can support him. He only pokes things and gets curious to break it once every week or so as it is. Throw in something new and it should only be a call every week and a half for about 2hrs each as you try to figure out what he changed and talk him through undoing it or re-installing it. He has learned this, it does what he wants and the guys at CompUSA tell him there's nothing wrong with it. If you can convince him to change more power to you. I've been trying to get him for 2 years now. I finally got him to BELIEVE that windows isn't the only gui out there after 4 years. Yes Outlook sucks harder than a hoover but it works for him, when he gets a virus I can tell him "I warned you" and when he spreads that to his friends I can repeat myself. However it works for everyone he exchanges email with EXCEPT me. As a result that looks to him like my Unix based email is broken, NOT his, and it only started happening when I started signing my email. You wanna try and convince him, feel free. I'm personally closer to just blacklisting his emails and telling him to call me when he wants to chat. Thus spake Brian Nelson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > Ehem. Mail-Copies-To: never.

Re: exim and pipe aliases?
Users don't need to exist. There's a setting in /etc/exim/exim.conf that tells it what user to execute the process as. If I put a long sleep in the script I can see user "mail" or even "robert" executing the script. I've put some touch commands and debug commands as well in the script and they get created and with the right ownership. If I execute the command from CLI by hand everything works the same except I don't get the failures such as the undefined scheme in Protocols.pm. I tried setting the scheme, I can even read it and it's set. Makes no sense. Thus spake Hans Wilmer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): > On Wed, Jan 15, 2003 at 05:05:38PM -0500, Robert L.

Re: exim and pipe aliases?
The problem is the script is actually failing. It generates this error: Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.0/LWP/Protocol.pm line 114 (#1) (W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake. To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables. To help you figure out what was undefined, perl tells you what operation you used the undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your program and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear literally in your program. For example, "that $foo" is usually optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to the concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in your program. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.0/LWP/Protocol.pm line 87 (#1) When it is run manually it works great. When executed by exim with a pipe I get this error message every time, setting "return_fail_output" didn't help either.

New users looking for sources.list
I just installed debian this morning. I've got gnome installed, but apparently on a much older version of Enlightenment. When I do a "dpkg --list | grep enlightenment" it doesn't show as installed, and when I try to install it, it complains that there's about 5 incompatabilities such as imlib (which is too old). Right now I've got this in my sources.list file: deb http://www.debian.org/~vincent/ slink-update main deb http://www.debian.org/~ljlane/downloads/ enlightenment/ deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/ I moved the first 2 to the front hoping it might clear things up. Anyone have a well built list that my help clear some of thise up? ----------- Robert L.

update ignoring sources?
I have added some lines to my sources.list file. When I do an
"apt-get update" I see this:
{0}:dogbert:/etc/apt>apt-get update
Get:1 http://www.daft.com ./ Packages [4210B]
Hit http://www.debian.org slink-update/main Packages
Hit http://www.debian.org slink-update/main Release
Hit http://www.debian.org enlightenment/ Packages
Ign http://www.debian.org enlightenment/ Release
Get:2 http://www.debian.org y2k-update/main Packages [6834B]
Hit http://non-us.debian.org stable/non-US Packages
Here is the head of my source.list :
# Remember that you can only use http, ftp or file URIs
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable non-US
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/proposed-updates/
deb http://www.debian.org/~vincent/ slink-update main
deb http://www.debian.org/~ljlane/downloads/ enlightenment/
deb ftp://beteigeuze.cs.tu-berlin.de/pub/linux/debian stable extra
I'm confused as to why it'd skip things.

Enlightenment?
Did anyone get E installed? When I do an "apt-get install enlightenment" I get this: Sorry, but the following packages have unmet dependencies: enlightenment: Depends: imlib1 (>= 1.9.8-2) but 1.9.8-1.99.slink.0 is installed Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1) but 2.0.7.19981211-6 is installed Depends: libesd0 (>= 0.2.15-7) but 0.2.14-0.1.slink.0 is installed Depends: libz1 but it is not installable E: Sorry, broken packages If you did, how? ----------- Robert L.
