Re: [Wlug] PGP Key Signing at next WLUG Meeting

by Theo Van Dinter

It's really up to the person doing the signing. :) In general, you want to have as many strong forms of ID as possible. passport > driver's license > student id, etc. Multiple IDs are good, I don't think I've had need to go beyond 3 before.

Andy, That sounds like something I'd like to do again-- it's been a while since I made a Key Signing party! :D What are acceptable forms of ID for most?

Re: [Wlug] WPI Exchange Help

by Eric Stein

At one point, the UNIX/Exchange battle that goes on between the two servers was so screwed up that all my email was showing up as literal forwards from me to me in my UNIX inbox. I raged at the helpdesk until they accepted that I did not now, nor did I ever want, to even have an exchange account. It took some fighting but I got them to delete my exchange account completely, and my UNIX mail has worked fine ever since.

Re: [Wlug] WPI Exchange Help

by Kurt Snieckus

On the WPI mail system mail first goes to the unix mail servers, and then gets forwarded to exchange. If you want you can keep the mail from being forwarded to exchange by changing the forwarding settings here: http://www.wpi.edu/Academics/CCC/Services/mailforward.html I forget exactly what I did, but it didn't work quite right, beacuse mail sent from other user's exchange accounts went to the exchange account instead of staying in the unix account. But if you e-mail the Helpdesk they can fix it for you. This then lets you use imap.wpi.edu, pop.wpi.edu, and webmail.wpi.edu/squirrelmail (And i think you can just login to ccc.wpi.eduand type pine and read your mail as well) If you'd like in-person help the Free Software Association tries to have meetings at 6pm on Tuesdays in the lounge on the 3rd floor of Fuller. E-mail owner-fsa(a)wpi.edu to get meeting announcements. -Kurt On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 11:39 PM, <tedshipper(a)gmail.com> wrote: > So I'm new to the Linux community and I could use a little help.

WPI Exchange Help

by tedshipper＠gmail.com

So I'm new to the Linux community and I could use a little help. I'm trying to setup exchange to work through Evolution Mail on Ubuntu 8.10. I can't seem to set it up correctly. I feel like i have all the necessary info like the OWA URL, which I think is https://exchange.wpi.edu/owa/ . Please advise as to whether I need to specify the DOMAIN\User which doesn't work or if there is a better client for setting up exchange at WPI. Thanks, Ship

Whether that is a cause or effect of confusion, I am not sure.) "Call no man happy until he is dead." -- Aeschylus, Herodotus, or Solon? With due regard to that perspective, I am happy now, and happy before. I now am quite sure that John is, and Alexander is not, a SysAdmin. That was my guess. > Keith> I missed that.

My last message was intended to point out that your different context makes the truth you chose to express less relevant to Alexander's obsession. -- Keith PS: I just thought of "Damn Small Linux". I know nothing about it, but it might be a good phrase for the tight-code-obsessed to Google.
