You can use the hdparm utility to discover what mode your disks are operating in. Notice the second-to-last line that begins with 'DMA modes:'. The '*' next to udma4 indicates it is operating in that mode, which equates to something commonly called ATA/66. :-) intrepid:/home/jsw# hdparm -i /dev/

ATA100 != 100Mhz pci bus. All that's doing is reporting the pci bus (to which the ide controller is attached). Nothing more, nothing less. All cards/controllers attached to your pci bus will run at that same speed. HTH. On Tuesday 03 July 2001 03:49 pm, R K wrote: > Does the following mean

OK. New job, new problems. Whereas I used to be able to ignore systems administration and networking, it's now my focus. Our ISP wants to be able to record IP traffic and bandwidth useage for each of its users, a common need amongst ISP's. In my initial search, I found ipac[1] for Debian potato

The best qmail reference I ever found was http://www.lifewithqmail.com. To install qmail on debian you should apt-get install qmail-src. Then run build-qmail (or something close to that, apt will tell you what to do). The build-qmail script adds the qmail users and groups and also builds qmail.
