Re: Mailers

I found mutt in unstable, but slang 0.99.38 is not available, giving a conflict. Where do I get the complete package for mutt? I don't find PGP on the mirror here (Singapore). Where is PGP usually located on non-US mirrors? David Frank Barknecht dijo: > Hamish Moffatt hat gesagt: // Hamish Mo

Re: rsh authentication ... (fwd)

The following are my inetd.conf entries. I'm not running xinetd or tcp wrappers, yet this still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated. Incidentally, the man page for ruserok is missing, which I thought may have provided some clues. Anyone know where this is? Thanks #:BSD: Shell, login,

Using dselect (via ftp), I downloaded and installed the 2.0.30 kernel source, plus five other files dselect wanted (gcc et cetera). Seemed to go okay. /usr/source/linux was created with lots of files and subdirectories. I changed to /usr/src/linux, typed make config and pressed enter. I rece

Is there a lawyer willing to go after spammers pro-bono out there? The spam mailing list had to take down its IP filter list due to legal threats. I think the legal threats would be less of a problem with a by-subscription-only service (sort of like credit reporting) than it is for a public list (
