What version of Sendmail you're using? As of Sendmail 8.9, relaying is disabled by default, so if your version is older than that you should upgrade immediately.

Re: Confusing Mirrors
hi guy, the information below is not entirely correct. the official statement from the gcc project is available at: http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html i have been unable to find redhat's official response to this issue, but have seen it before. short sum (be warned that my memory sometimes has parity errors, so i might be mistaken): they made a business decision, they didn't fork the gcc tree but rather took a development branch for its enhanced c++ abilities and tested it internally before releasing. also, any patches they made for it are fed back to the main tree. so it's not exactly a black and white issue "redhat is evil". none of the above of course means that you would catch me even having a redhat7.0 cd near one of my machines. guy keren wrote: > > On Tue, 16 Jan 2001, Omer Zak wrote: > > > I remember that there was some stench about gcc version 2.96 or something. > > no stench about gcc 2.96, but rather about redhat 7.0 . gcc's latest > official version (as far as i'm still updated) is 2.95 . 2.96 is a > developmenet version that is known to be broken. redhat people just seem > to have been too trigger-happy and installed it before checking what it > was. i guess it's also a "bug" with gcc's people, that didn't call it > 2.96pre or something similar. this "version" cannot compile the linux > kernel. > > -- > guy > > "For world domination - press 1, > or dial 0, and please hold, for the creator." -- nob o. dy > > = > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- mulix linux/reboot.h: #define LINUX_REBOOT_MAGIC1 0xfee1dead = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Its existing keymap is again the "Israeli phonetic" one. I thought we got
over this one.
I attach a rewritten map that *should* work. It is *totally untested*.
Please try it, and if it works, please report it to the yudit developers.
One other thing: yudit may be the first production software on linux to
support bedirectional user input. Read doc/Yudit.bidi.txt and try playing
with mixed hebrew-english hebrew input. See if it feels "natural". Try to
think where yudit's behaviour should be changed.

Linux at Bar-Ilan
Dear Bar-Ilan students, faculty and staff:In the second semester we are planning a series of informal lecturescovering the basics of Linux. Our target audience consists of people withsome experience with unix systems, who would like to learn what linux hasto offer, how to install linux, and the basics of system administration.The lectures will hopefully take place once every two weeks. We havestarted making contacts with people in and out of the University who havelinux experience, asking them to volunteer to give a lecture. If youhappen to be, or know, a linux devotee, please do send us your/his/hername so we can sign you/him/her up to help. Once we get going we will alsoapproach the Israel Linux Users' Group (http://www.linux.org.il) for help.We hope that this will be just the start of organized linux activity inthe University. We would like to hold a brief first meeting to fix a convenient time andpreferred topics for the lectures. This meeting will be on Sunday January21, 19:30, in the seminar room on the 3rd floor of the Math and CSbuilding. Please bring your schedules for 2nd semester. Please do notdisturb the class that meets in the room from 18:00 to 19:30. If youcannot make the organizational meeting, but are interested, please send usan email. In the spirit of linux, the lectures will be open to the entireworld, but we ask everyone who wants to participate to let us know inadvance. Sincerely,David Shadmi (for the students) [EMAIL PROTECTED]Jeremy Schiff (for the faculty) [EMAIL PROTECTED]
