Hi I just compiled a new kernel from the 2.4.0 sources.

The new kernel boots fine, but sound still doesnt play. What am i doing wrong ? Please help Thanx in advance. Paresh C

connection from BSNL
by Anand Iyer 26 Jul '01

26 Jul '01

Listen to this cyberage stuff: I applied to BSNL a few days back as for VSNL I have to do 95 code now which becomes very costly. Previously I had 172222 connectivity at local charges. Now BSNL application has been sent almost 3 weeks back and when i called them today someone blamed the privatization process. "Private ho gaya to gadbad ho gaya. Govt. rehta tha to jaldi milta tha" Anyway which server are they setting up. Hopefully a Linux based server. Anand

Mail Filtering Execuitable attachment
by Benoy George 26 Jul '01

----- Original Message ----- From: Tushar Burman <tb(a)freeos.com> Subject: Re: [ILUG-BOM] [OT] Possible virus, can anyone confirm > I have desktop scanners on all workstations as well, but this is far from > sufficient in my case. I use IMAP instead of POP3, so all mails stay on the > Linux box. As a result, each time somebody goes back to an old, > virus-infected mail, he's in trouble once again. It makes more sense to stop > the viruses on the mail server. It stops outgoing viruses too. I having the same setup with using procmail, all mails are filtering if there is any attachment with executable extensions & any mail containing "<SCRIPT>" will move to "virus" folder. the .procmailrc is like this *********** :0 HB * ^Content-Disposition: attachment; *filename=".*\.(exe|vbs|shs|com|pif|bat|scr|hta)" virus :0 HB * \<script\> virus *********** but SirCam doesn't mind it, it is coming directly to inbox with ".pif", ".bat" extensions. If I forward the same once more, it is filtering. and any other messages with the said condition is filtering. why this SirCam is escaping procmail ? any Idea, the mail header containing these lines. "Content-Type: application/mixed; name=renewal_calls_sifynet_dec1.xls.pif Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=renewal_calls_sifynet_dec1.xls.pif " please let me know is the .procmailrc needs any other modifications. Waiting for the some suggestions. (Attn. Philip, Many thanks for your previous valuable mails...) regards Benoy

Re:My two bits about the Aazad and the Commercial
by Sandeep 26 Jul '01

26 Jul '01

Dude, I guess we need to take this disuccusion somewhere else eh? Cause I guess we cud go on 4 ever like this :) Jus need to point out though, that I found the RMS bit quit unneccesary cause the discussion is not bout RMS or his personality, but about his philosophy. I could'nt care less if RMS was gay or a murderer, or ne thin else for that matter. I dont like _him_, I like his _philosophy_ cause it is _very_ relevant to *me* and to the "new world" as well I hope. >I appreciate & respect what RMS has done in terms of >writing software. But I do not subscribe to his philosophy >entirely. So u see, here is our basic disagreement, u respect n like the dude, whereas i dig his philosophy entirely! tripin on life 24x7, Sandeep --- "The world is the house of the strong. I shall not know until the end what I have lost or won in this place, in this vast gambling den where I have spent more than 60 years, dicebox in hand, shaking the dice." ~Denis Diderot, French philosopher ___________________________________________________________________ *FREE* Web-based Email Accounts at BOX.COM - http://www.box.com/?i=2 Access Your Email from ANYWHERE!
