Line1,Line2 How can I define a keystroke that will, add a comma at the end of Line1 perform a JOIN of Line1 and Line2 move the cursor to the next record? Any help appreciated.

mount options for reiserfs
by Sameer D. Sahasrabuddhe 01 Sep '03

01 Sep '03

Hi, I am trying to do a Debian chroot install using my current system, onto a fresh hard disk. I formatted all the partitions to use reiserfs, purely for experimental purposes. In my existing system, I have a partition that gets mounted as /home/sameerds/data, with the user sameerds.users as the owner of the mount point and everything inside the mounted partition. This is standard stuff in ext3 using the uid and gid options. But I can't find anything equivalent in reiserfs ... Second, here's some interesting behaviour, but I don't know how that is achieved. Just after mounting /mnt/debinst/usr, here's the "ls -l" listing for usr/local drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 Aug 11 11:58 local And just after mounting /mnt/debinst/usr/local drwxrwsr-x 11 root staff 240 Aug 11 13:03 local How did this happen? I need similar settings with root.src as the owner for /mnt/debinst/usr/src, since that's the standard policy for Debian systems. Since that isn't happening automatically, I assume the behaviour for usr/local is not Debian-specific. Any pointers?

Configuring sendmail for LAN emailing
by AAvileli＠dubaigolf.com 01 Sep '03

Hi Ashwin when you say you cannot receive email, do you mean from your service provider or for your domain if it is from your service provider you should have .fetchmailrc file in your home directory which configuration is as follows poll mail.vsnl.net.in with proto POP3 interval 6 user "xxxxxx" there with password "xxxxxxxxxxxxx" ... interval 6 is 6 * 300 seconds for this account. and if is for your domain then you should have a public ip and your domain registered also the local-host-names and /etc/mail/virtusertable have to reflect your domain for eg ashley.com check your settings in /etc/mail/sendmail.m4 or check out www.sendmail.org for more information Thanks & Regards Ashley Avileli IT Support Emirates Golf Club / Dubai Creek Golf Club Dubai - UAE

There might be some PHP frameworks for access control and authorization. Afterall, almost all decent web-apps require this. I guess frameworks like PHPNuke would have it though I never looked at them. We developed an ASP framework for our Intranet and most of the logic and AC specifications are on the DB side so it won't be too difficult to adapt it to PHP. -- Tahir Hashmi code_martial AT softhome.net http://www.codemartial.org I have seen The Source

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Lilo Boot Error
by goldwyn rodrigues 28 Aug '03

28 Aug '03

With Windows 98 installed. the partition table looks different at least in my PC. Because windoze 98 does not allow more than one primary partition. The Linux partitions should have started from hda5 and onwards, unless you create a boot partition which is usually hda2. if you could give the exact error Lilo gives, it would be more helpful. And one more thing, in older systems, such as P2, Lilo requires the start of the boot partition (in your case the root partition) to be within 1024 cylinders. This feature is mother board dependant, raher BIOS dependant. Finally ( but not limited to) it could be your /etc/lilo.conf file. -- Goldwyn :o) Dear Luggies , I am facing strange Problem with installation of "RedHat Linux 9.0 ".

Email server on Linux
by Ashwin S. Athram 27 Aug '03

27 Aug '03

Hello, I am trying to setup a LAN server and have installed a server version of RH8.0. Using the default version of the sendmail.cf file. I am able to send the mails from my local domain to the outside world (e.g. yahoo.com,rediffmail.com...etc.). Now I want to exchange mails among this server and the other machines on the LAN. I have gone through a tutorial aritcle at www.linuxjournal.com on sendmail: Introduction and Configuration. I tried to check the dns issues by using the command >> nslookup -sil 192.168.1.42 >> Server : 202.56.... >> Address: 202.56.... ** server can't find ......:NXDOMAIN Then I checked the ports by using the commands >> netstat -nl The tcp port 25 was LISTENING 127.0.0.1. I changed this to my ip address of the server 192.168.1.42. by changing the following line in the sendmail.cf file >> # SMTP daemon options >> 0 DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA, changed to >> 0 DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=192.168.1.42, Name=MTA, After doing this I restarted the sendmail daemon using the rc script /etc/init.d/sendmail. Then I tried to send mail to the local host as well as to the outside world. But it saying for localhost >> root....Connecting to localhost.localdomain. via relay... >> root....Deferred: Connection refused by localhost.localdomain. and for outside world >> ash_..@yahoo.com....Connecting to localhost.localdomain. via relay.. >> ash_..@yahoo.com....Deferred: Connection refused by localhost.localdomain. Now, when I keep the tcp port open for 127.0.0.1 then it works fine for sending mails to the localhost as well as the internet. But when I change it the IP address 192.168.1.42 then it gives the above "Deferred" message which i feel is abnormal delivery. I beg your help in this regard. Also I would request if someone could guide me setting up this exchange of mails over LAN using sendmail. Thanks. Ashwin -- ASHWIN S.
