going from ethernet to ppp only

Hi, I've set up a machine with woody using an ethernet card and now that particular machine will be moved to a location with only dialup access. I've removed the NIC and I've got PPP working fine using an internal modem. I'd like to know how to properly transition the setup from Ethernet to PPP

RE: Fetchmailrc--parse error

o.net proto POP3 user "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" with password "secret" is "gt" here That's basically what I have in my fetchmailrc. There's also a nice gui frontend to configure fetchmail that I find useful to get the initial config file: http://packages.d

need advice on how to control access to blinkd from net

RE: find a command i have recently used in bash

use "!!" (but the up/down arrow is faster for the most recent commands IMO). "man history" should give you all the nitty gritty details of how to use history buffer.

PDC based apache authentication?

Hi, I'm looking for a method of authenticating apache (web) users using the PDC/BDC, not .htaccess. IOW, I'm looking for an analogous system to samba's authentication scheme with PDCs for apache. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks, Drew Cohan [

X startup & immediate shutdown (no errors)

ssion file: #!/bin/sh /path/to/myprogram sleep 10 which runs my program for ten seconds and then X shuts down by itself (no errors). So the question becomes, how do I keep X running after it executes my .xsession file? What is it looking for/to do next? Thanks, Drew Cohan [EMAIL
