[OT] Story: The case of the 500-mile email
Here's a problem that *sounded* impossible ... I almost regret posting the story to a wide audience, because it makes a great tale over drinks at a conference. :-) The story is slightly altered in order to protect the guilty, elide over irrelevant and boring details, and generally make the whole thing more entertaining. I was working in a job running the campus email system some years ago when I got a call from the chairman of the statistics department. "We're having a problem sending email out of the department." "What's the problem?" I asked. "We can't send mail more than 500 miles," the chairman explained. I choked on my latte. "Come again?" "We can't send mail farther than 500 miles from here," he repeated. "A little bit more, actually. Call it 520 miles. But no farther." "Um... Email really doesn't work that way, generally," I said, trying to keep panic out of my voice. One doesn't display panic when speaking to a department chairman, even of a relatively impoverished department like statistics. "What makes you think you can't send mail more than 500 miles?" "It's not what I *think*," the chairman replied testily. "You see, when we first noticed this happening, a few days ago--" "You waited a few DAYS?" I interrupted, a tremor tinging my voice. "And you couldn't send email this whole time?" "We could send email. Just not more than--" "--500 miles, yes," I finished for him, "I got that. But why didn't you call earlier?" "Well, we hadn't collected enough data to be sure of what was going on until just now." Right. This is the chairman of *statistics*. "Anyway, I asked one of the geostatisticians to look into it--" "Geostatisticians..." "--yes, and she's produced a map showing the radius within which we can send email to be slightly more than 500 miles. There are a number of destinations within that radius that we can't reach, either, or reach sporadically, but we can never email farther than this radius." "I see," I said, and put my head in my hands. "When did this start? A few days ago, you said, but did anything change in your systems at that time?" "Well, the consultant came in and patched our server and rebooted it. But I called him, and he said he didn't touch the mail system." "Okay, let me take a look, and I'll call you back," I said, scarcely believing that I was playing along. It wasn't April Fool's Day. I tried to remember if someone owed me a practical joke. I logged into their department's server, and sent a few test mails. This was in the Research Triangle of North Carolina, and a test mail to my own account was delivered without a hitch. Ditto for one sent to Richmond, and Atlanta, and Washington. Another to Princeton (400 miles) worked. But then I tried to send an email to Memphis (600 miles). It failed. Boston, failed. Detroit, failed. I got out my address book and started trying to narrow this down. New York (420 miles) worked, but Providence (580 miles) failed. I was beginning to wonder if I had lost my sanity. I tried emailing a friend who lived in North Carolina, but whose ISP was in Seattle. Thankfully, it failed. If the problem had had to do with the geography of the human recipient and not his mail server, I think I would have broken down in tears. Having established that -- unbelievably -- the problem as reported was true, and repeatable, I took a look at the sendmail.cf file. It looked fairly normal. In fact, it looked familiar. I diffed it against the sendmail.cf in my home directory. It hadn't been altered -- it was a sendmail.cf I had written. And I was fairly certain I hadn't enabled the "FAIL_MAIL_OVER_500_MILES" option. At a loss, I telnetted into the SMTP port. The server happily responded with a SunOS sendmail banner. Wait a minute... a SunOS sendmail banner? At the time, Sun was still shipping Sendmail 5 with its operating system, even though Sendmail 8 was fairly mature. Being a good system administrator, I had standardized on Sendmail 8. And also being a good system administrator, I had written a sendmail.cf that used the nice long self-documenting option and variable names available in Sendmail 8 rather than the cryptic punctuation-mark codes that had been used in Sendmail 5. The pieces fell into place, all at once, and I again choked on the dregs of my now-cold latte. When the consultant had "patched the server," he had apparently upgraded the version of SunOS, and in so doing *downgraded* Sendmail. The upgrade helpfully left the sendmail.cf alone, even though it was now the wrong version. It so happens that Sendmail 5 -- at least, the version that Sun shipped, which had some tweaks -- could deal with the Sendmail 8 sendmail.cf, as most of the rules had at that point remained unaltered. But the new long configuration options -- those it saw as junk, and skipped. And the sendmail binary had no defaults compiled in for most of these, so, finding no suitable settings in the sendmail.cf file, they were set t

Shouldn't LyX be doing this automatically when you insert floats into the document ?

[aanounce] kernel rpms round 3
Hello linuxers I have uploaded to iglu, my third round of kernel rpms. Tease are 2.4.19 kernel rpms patched with lowlatency patch, preemtible kernel and supermount. I also uploaded some linmodems drivers and lirc. (lirc is going to be more generic in the future). I also uploaded a few programs which use lirc (xmms lirc driver xawtv, and soon maybe xine). I also uploaded an update for modutils. linux-utils, e2fs-progs, reiserfsprogs All were compiled in mdk8.1 so I guess that they should work with all above (packages were tested with mkd9.0 as well). I think RedHat 7.2 and 7.3 are good candidates for using any packages here. Why installing those rpms? If you have a linmodem, you may want to d/l the kernel and d/l the precompiled driver for your modem. This kernel was splited into several packages, and by this making the d/l smaller. You don't need USB? no problems, don't download nor install it. You need USB suddenly? No problems Just install the USB packages and you are done. No more recompiling the kernel. The kernel almost as good as if it was compiled by you! Hopefully soon I will be able to upload also a 2.4.20 version, if it is needed. Notes: The rpms do not install them selves in lilo/grub so you will need to do it yourself. The kernel images are in /boot/2.4.19/bzImage-2.4.19-1iglu. If you have problems in the depmod -a, you may want to update modutils. I compiled a update from mdk's sources. It's on the mdk-misk dir.

Hebrew locale
Hi all, Need help, please. I am trying to get someone's RedHat 8 to work with Hebrew. To that end, I need the he_IL locale compiled properly. Sadly, this is not currently the case on his system. locale -a specifies that only en locales are compiled. Cheerfully, I try to compile the he locale, then. Right? This system was not touched by anyone but RPMs. I type "localedef -i he_IL he_IL". It fails with LOCALE COMPILATION ERRORS It complains that the characters are not defined as their string name. I look at the locale definition, and sure enough - they are not. My questions: A. Do RedHat ship locale definitions that the locale compiler they ship cannot groke? B. How do I get RedHat 8 to recognize the he_IL locale? *sigh* I love Debian.

Once I wanted to add a feature to KDE which automatically ran localedef to generate a locale according to your KDE Locale settings (KDE has separate settings, undependant of libc locales), but then I realized there was no portable way of generating locales without needing root perms. glibc tries to look for locales in I18NPATH (so you can set it to point to the user's dir), but what about AIX? Solaris?... Then again, I wonder why it's so expensive that glibc cannot compose those locales on-the-fly? > One thing, though.

"A locale name is typically of the form language[_terri� tory][.codeset][@modifier], where language is an ISO 639 language code, territory is an ISO 3166 country code, and codeset is a character set or encoding identifier like ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8." The ".codeset" part is a convention. As much as glibc cares, can be he_IL.foobar -- as long as you set the same name in LC_ALL / LANG, it'll use a UTF-8 locale. = 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]

It means just what it says -- Xlib doesn't support that locale. Would be useful if you'd give us the output of "locale" and "locale charmap".
