[OT] vsnl & virus scan
by Amish Mehta 12 Oct '02

12 Oct '02

First of all I have no idea if VSNL does what 'Saswata Banerjee & Associates' pointed out in his last email to this list. But I think its not legal to do that(even if email has virus). Because I think email should not be scanned(even if by a 'DUMB' program) without permission of sender or receiver. As most of emails do not have virus and may be official emails and it would be considered as intrusion to someones privacy. Would like others opinion. Thanks. Amish.

I do not think VSNL will be in any actual legal trouble. But Intel had to withdraw CPU's with the serial number due to people who "cherish" their privacy. Blocking spam is a completely different thing. You identify complete emails received from a dubious sources and block them. When you alter private emails you are breaching privacy. I dont think there is a "law" to prevent it, but it is /not/ the "Right Thing(tm)" to do IMHO. quasi

[OT] Help Solicited : Linux installation on server.
by Vishal 11 Oct '02

11 Oct '02

There is a small office in Bombay, using Linux on their server. However, due to a disk crash, they need to start afresh & need the services of a person adept at Linux installation / configuration on a server. Their requirements are somewhat like this: Apache, PHP, MySQL, DNS, sendmail, POP... I believe the office will remunerate for the services rendered. Interested people please write with your expectations at bvishal(a)gmx.net and *not* on the list. Vishal.

Hi, I have RH 7.1. Before the logon screen appears, and after INIT starts, a number of programs are automatically started . Which file should i edit so as to prevent some of these programs from starting and also to add some other program? (Something like autoexec.bat in windoze 9x.)

X not working
by Nikhil D. Kikkeri 11 Oct '02

11 Oct '02

Hello, I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop 1405-S151 which has a CyberAlladin-T graphics accelerator card with 16 MB of VRAM.I am using PCQ Linux 7.1 which is based on RHL 7.1 However X does not seem to start up. I searched the net for the solution but was not successful. there is one site which mentioned that there is a driver which works with XFree86 4.0.2. How do I find out which version of X is running on my machine. And if its not XFree86 4.0.2 and assuming I download the required module how do I install it and I do I get X to work? thanks in anticipation -Nikhil _________________________________________________________________ Join the worlds largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com
