Yes. I did this on a dialup firewall. The firewall was se up to fire up fetchmail when it had a live connection, and shut down fetchmail and the connection when traffic ended. The firewall also had an IMAP server. I used fetchmail on other systems to get email from the server to the other machines. I set up an account on the firewall for each user inside the firewall, and set up per account fetching rules, but fetchmail ran as root. Use fetchmails "user foo there is user bar here" syntax to toss the email into the appropriate accounts. > Additionally, I've seen a utility called fetchmailconf in previous > versions, is that available for redhat 8 or was it dropped? It is not in RH 8.0; don't ask me why. Get an RPM of the latest version (fetchmail-6.2.1-1) from ESR's home page. http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/fetchmail/ Fetchmailconf is in ESR's RPMs. -- Charles Curley /"\ASCII Ribbon Campaign Looking for fine software \ /Respect for open standards and/or writing?

Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'gtk+-2.0' found configure: error: Library requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 1.3.7) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. I seem to have gtk2 installed (gtk2-2.0.6-8), but not gtk+-2.0. Is there a difference? Also: I tried installing the Mozilla 1.4-4 binaries on a test system. It did not run. So, on the chance that there was an undetected dependency, I tried installing the gtk+ 2 libraries, like so: [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -ivh gtk2-2.2.2-1.i386.rpm pango-1.2.3-1.i386.rpm glib2-2.2.2-1.i386.rpm freetype-2.1.4-2.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libXrandr.so.2 is needed by gtk2-2.2.2-1 Where does one get libXrandr.so.2?

Not a good idea.

# All sorts of "File format not recognized" messages. I'm sure I could

However, that crashed X. With a lot of "No Symbols found"
messages. Oops.
It might work better if you don't strip the modules. Anyone want to
try that?

First, I restored my files, like so:
rpm -ivh --force XFree86-*
(with the files present selected from a list of the installed RPMs)
Then I took your line of code above (thanks!) and did the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] X11R6]# cd bin
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# for file in *; do if file $file | grep 'not stripped' >
/dev/null; then strip $file; fi; done
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# cd ../lib/
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]# for file in *; do if file $file | grep 'not stripped' >
/dev/null; then strip $file; fi; done
[EMAIL PROTECTED] lib]# cd ..; du -sh
177M.
Not quite the size reduction I got before (which suggests I stripped
some stuff I should not have). But X works.
Thanks.

Further Adventures of Xfree86 4.2.1
Xfree86 4.2.1-21 is now available at the usual places. It appears to fix https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=98082. It provides much smaller RPMs. Thanks you. When upgrading from 4.2.1-20, it installs just fine and appears to work. When I tried to upgrade from 4.2.0-72, I get the following error: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/X11/xkb: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory On my sucessful upgrade (from 4.2.1.20): [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ll /etc/X11/xkb lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 27 Jul 3 18:32 /etc/X11/xkb -> ../../usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# ll -d /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Jul 3 18:32 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb On my unsucessful upgrade: [EMAIL PROTECTED] autoupdate]# ll -d /etc/X11/xkb drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Mar 3 07:03 /etc/X11/xkb [EMAIL PROTECTED] autoupdate]# ll -d /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb lrwxrwxrwx1 root root 23 Mar 3 07:03 /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -> ../../../../etc/X11/xkb This suggests that manually moving and symlinking to the directory will solve the problem.

You didn't tell us anything about the hardware or BIOS on the sever, so all I can do is guess. At a guess, it is a BIOS problem. There may be some way in the BIOS to turn off checking for a keyboard and/or video card and/or monitor. A lot of older BIOSes require the keyboard, and you're stuck with it.

Gnome Desktop and Root Window
I have a script that uses XV to write into X's root window ("xv
-root"). This has worked just fine on many different Unix boxen. It
works just fine on KDE on RH 8.0. It does not work on Gnome. Using
Gnome's tools for setting the desktop does not do what I want. How do
I write to the desktop on gnome?

Depends on how you want to do it. First, import Red Hat's gpg key
(preferred), or add the appropriate command line switch to the rpm
call below to disable gpg key checking. Then get the MD5SUM file and
verify its gpg signature:
gpg --verify MD5SUM
Then checksum the image(s):
md5sum
where may be your CD-ROM device, such as /mnt/cdrom.
e.g, for severn:
cat MD5SUM ; md5sum severn-i386-disc*.iso
You should also check individual packages, e.g.:
find -iname "*.rpm" -exec rpm -K {} \; | grep NOT
where silence implies acceptance.

In future, please reply below the text to which you are responding. It
is easier to read, so a courtesy to your readers.
You get the md5 sums in the file MD5SUMS, which is in the same
direcotry from which you FTP the ISO images of the CD-ROMs. See
http://www.redhat.com/download/howto_download.html for details.
The file MD5SUMS is signed; that key is in the root directory of each
CD, and after installation it is in multiple files on the
computer. See, e.g.: /usr/share/doc/redhat-release-8.0/RPM-GPG-KEY.

Yes. Md5sums are checksums takes with a specific algorithm so that the
program operates identically regarless of processor and other issues.
