I hope this doesn't get posted twice, but the first message
seems to have disappeared into a black hole.
I know it's possible to have more than one version of a library
installed, but I'm still unclear about how to do it. (I'm
talking about using RPMS, not tarballs).

All my users use fetchmail to get mail from my ISP's POP server.
For lack of resources, I cannot put a pop server on my box.
What is the best way to protect my users passwords from being sniffed?
Can a user use an encrypted tunnel to send the userid and password to
the pop server?
Any pointers

Anyone ever use the TNT/TNT2 cards under linux with the modified XFree86
server and OpenGL ?
Im looking for a compiled server or code / patch and perhaps a FAQ or
HOWTO.
Not having much luck, and Riva appears to have pulled their driver code
for a while for some reason..

What exactly is the problem that you're getting? What configuration
program are you using for the xfree86 setup?
Xconfigurator
XF86Setup
xf86setup
??
Are you trying to use the NVidia chipset?

Well, the latest development version of XFree86, I believe 3.9.17, has
updated additions to the drivers for TNT/TNT2. Here's what I read about
it.
Changes in 3.9.17 include (note the addition of new 3dfx
