It is best to go through your local sendmail regardless, because sendmail will handle queueing if you send mail while offline. > Do I have to change the configuration of localhost sendmail? Yes, there are several sendmail howtos for dialup connections.

first of all, i would like to wish all gnu/linuxers a very happy and a prosperous new year! now coming to my problem:- i recently installed RedHat 9 on my m/c. i also have RedHat 7.3 on a separate partition. when i logged into RedHat 9, even the simplest shell scripts, like ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #tmp.sh #!/bin/bash echo "sdjfljsd" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ don't work after i do: - $ chmod +x tmp.sh $ ./tmp.sh but this works:- $ bash tmp.sh the first case gives the foll error:- bash: bad interpreter ..... when i log into RedHat 7.3, and try to do a "chroot" to the "/" of the RedHat 9 partition, i get the error:- bash: Permission denied i even tried copying /bin/bash from RedHat 7.3 to RedHat 9, but it did not help. any help regarding this problem would be greatly appreciated. thanks for the help! -- You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives. - Clay Bedford. --- Pradnyesh Sawant spradnyesh(a)gmx.net Ph. 91-022-27703060 http://www.geocities.com/spradnyesh ---

Reviews of broadband ISP's in Bombay?
by Thomas Raffill 02 Jan '04

02 Jan '04

I want to get broadband internet access for my wife's parents in the Chembur/Kurla East area of Bombay. The idea is to get more bandwidth for communications like voice and webcam. While searching the net for info, I discovered this group and read the thread on Powersurfer. There was a lot of info hard to find elsewhere, such as the facts that average speeds can be 8-10 kbps, the back-end bandwidth is 2 mbps, and it can take months to get service after signing up because they need a minimum number of users in an area. So it looks like a good idea to start a discussion in this group on what's going on. If any of you have experience with broadband in Bombay, no matter whether cable, dsl, or wireless, I'd love to hear about it. For example, what average speeds are you getting? How reliable is the connection? What troubles did you have getting set up? How responsive is the customer service? How are the reputations of the various providers? Is it really superior to a dial-up connection? Are there other things you wish you knew before subscribing? Thanks in advance, Tom
