Re: PyORBit vs. ORBit-Python

2001-01-29 Thread Jorgensen, Jens
Sounds great. The available PyORBit isn't much use anyway since as near as I can tell, it can only understand CORBA objects which were compiled into it. I assume ORBit-Python can take in new IDL at runtime? Roland Mas wrote: > Hello people, > > This message concerns Python users, and in par

As others have noted, Microsoft Proxy Server does support SOCKS. This feature must be enabled by the administrator. Having done that you can install the SOCKS client and use: runsocks apt to use apt. I'm not sure if runsocks comes with the debian package. You might have to download the source

The file /etc/qmail/control/me should contain the FQDN of your machine as it wants to be known to other machines on the internet, e.g.: exchange.tallan.com I am surprised to hear you say that you have exim and that it's starting. dpkg should prevent you from having two MTAs installed since it d

Re: Apache-SSL: NameVirtualHosts: separate certificates?

2000-11-28 Thread Jorgensen, Jens
Well, if you're using mod_ssl, according to the fine documentation the SSLCertificateFile directive, which specifies the filename of the server certificate, can be place inside the overral server config context _or_ inside a virtual host context (ie. within the tags). "Ralf G. R. Bergs" wrote

Contrary to another responses, hardware isn't an issue. It's an issue of your kernel. It used to be an issue with libc but as near as I can tell on my system loff_t is a long long (64-bit integer) which is a necessary requirement. I believe there are patches available and perhaps the lastest (2.

I like efax. It works with Class 1 modems too which is a bonus. It handles PS files very well and knows what to do. In fact, it relies on ghostscript to generate the fax image files. Thomas Halahan wrote: > dear deb-users, > > I have a stand allone debian box with a fax modem. I want to send >

Re: signing gpg key with old key ...

2000-11-09 Thread Jorgensen, Jens
The tools people use for sending you stuff should tell them that the key is expired. That should encourage them not to use it. If you revoke your old key that certainly invalidates the signature. Technically you can't change the expire date. I mean there's nothing to stop the software from chang

First, changing the NS IPs in resolv.conf might help your machine think that it's IP address maps to your FQDN but it doesn't help anyone else. The change in dynamic dns will take a few seconds to take effect. I realize though that for things like apache it's helpful/necessary to have the FQDN-d
