Thanks Andy. Please send me a link to "Night Life." I did a google search on that and "Worcester" but got a ton of stuff about bars!

Yes, am looking for a tutor to teach in my home. I'm in Holden -- going north on 31 towards Wachusett. My son is 13 ... and his friends don't talk much about PCs ... except that they seem to be active IM-ers.

Andy, I also sent this message to WLUG but didn't see it in the Digest. Would like to see it included because it has more detailed info.

Upcoming Topics
by Mike Perry 20 Jun '06

20 Jun '06

I had a few ideas kicking in the back of my head for a meeting topic. By no means am I volunteering to give a talk on this, however I thought it would be a good idea to toss out. </end-disclaimer> How about a talk on port forwarding? The talk could include tunneling via program (like the old school datapipe proggy) and more appropriately the finner points of SSH port forwarding. Other peripheral topics could be including such as: port knocking, alt mechanisms of ssh authentication, and X11 forwarding. Just a thought... Cheers, Mike

Early Reminder: Meeting June 7th - Sybase on Linux
by Andy Stewart 17 Jun '06

17 Jun '06

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 HI Everybody, I want to send out this early reminder about our upcoming WLUG meeting. It will be held on Wednesday, June 7th at 7:00 PM in the Access Grid room on the WPI campus in Worcester, MA USA. At this meeting, Patrick Enright from Sybase Inc. will be talking about Sybase on Linux. Patrick was kind enough to send me a bunch of Sybase tee shirts, CDs, posters, etc. which I'll bring to the meeting and give away to the membership. After the meeting, we'll go out and have pizza, soda, and great conversation at the Tech Pizza Restaurant on Highland Street. I look forward to seeing you there!

check out squirell mail. Really easy to setup, works w/imap -Eric -----Original Message----- From: Richard Klein <rich(a)richardklein.org> Subj: [Wlug] Webmail: What do you like? Date: Fri Jun 16, 2006 10:43 pm Size: 704 bytes To: Worcester Linux Users Group <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> I was at the meeting in April or May, but, unfortunately, haven't had time for the list or for meetings since then. At the time, I was looking for help setting up an IMAP server. I eventually got that working with Debian Sarge, Postfix, UW-IMAP, and the howto at: http://howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_debian_sarge I think everything is working now, although I haven't switched my MX record to this server yet, but I'm still lacking a webmail interface. What do you guys like for webmail? Is there any particular reason why you like one package over another? -- Rich _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug
