How much time do you have? If you start with Redhat 7.2, you can rebuild RHAS 2.1 from the source RPMs, and then install that. There is a FAQ online somehow on exactly what order packages must be installed in. http://www2.uibk.ac.at/zid/software/unix/linux/rhel-rebuild.htm Of course, this will probably take a very long time, so it might be worthwhile to just buy RHAT 2.1.

RH AS 2.1?

by Mike Peckar

Not sure if this can be had without ponying up the buckeroos, but I'm looking for a copy to run an app that's only supported on that platform. Failing that, is there a free way to get the bits I need to run the app compiled thereupon? Thanks, Mike ovf(a)wblt.org

Looking for linux work estimate

by Pete Wason

Hiall! I have a Dell P4 server running RH8, Apache, Samba & sendmail (et al.), on a network with several other operating systems, and a broadband connection. Things I might require help with: 1. Samba config 2. Apache config 3. Disable sendmail, inst/conf tcpserver and qmail 4. Some general Linux admin questions 5. Some special-project-related things 6. Possibly ditching RH8 and moving to YD or Debian If there's anyone who would be interested in helping me out a little, enough to at least identify the main problems, I'd appreciate it greatly. I'll supply the beer/pizza. Pete Wason rogue(a)hynoom.com IM:Codevark

Anti spam filters now active on wlug list

by Frank Sweetser

While at first glance it may appear that the WLUG list never contains any spam, this due to the fact that the list is closed - any emails coming from an address that is not subscribed to the list are held for approval by a moderator, ie, me. In reality, the WLUG list does get a fair amount of spam, sometimes ten or twenty on a bad day. In an effort to not have to deal with this manually, the WLUG list will now use the X-Perlmx-Spam header that is added by the WPI spam filter. Hopefully this will mean that the only messages I have to worry about manually approving are legitimate emails from people who for whateve reason aren't subscribed properly. If anyone thinks that they're losing email sent to the list, please email me directly and I'll take a look. -- Frank Sweetser fs at wpi.edu WPI Network Engineer

by Martin, Eric

I actually have bought two of those (the Lite-On) and no complaints here. Comes with Nero and PowerDVD. -----Original Message----- From: John Stoffel [mailto:stoffel@lucent.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 20, 2004 12:50 PM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] Recommened QUIET cdrw/dvd drives? Hi all, Does anyone has a recommendatio on a nice quiet CD-R/CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive? I see that newegg.com has a Lite-On and a Sony for sale today, both under $50 which seems like a steal. Sounds like a good thing since my SCSI CDRW drive is finally biting the bullet and acting flaky. One requirement is that the drive is quiet. I hate those CDROM drives which sound like jet engines on startup and then just click and whir and sound really loud all the time when running. I especially hate it when they spin up and down constantly. I'd rather have it just spin all the time if possible, or at least not spin down quite so quickly. The two I'm looking at are: Lite On 48x24x48x16 Combo Drive, Model LTC48161H, Retail Sony 48x24x48x16 Combo Drive, Model CRX300E/A, OEM I'm leaning towards the Lite-On one, since it comes with Burner software which my Wife can use (I plan on getting two of these BTW) while I'm happy with Linux in the basement. :] John _______________________________________________ Wlug mailing list Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug

It has several options for formatting directory listings. An alternative would be to add an "index.pl" to the directory, and write that perl script to format your directory listing the way you want it. Bill

Of course, there is the good-old standby, sendmail, which comes practically preconfigured for this kind of use on Red Hat, just edit: /etc/mail/sendmail.mc Remove the "dnl" comment characters from the beginning of this line, and set it to your smart relay host: define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.myprovider.com') Make sure you have the sendmail-cf package installed, then restart sendmail: service sendmail restart The .cf files will be rebuilt automagically. Oh, one more thing, make sure DAEMON=yes in /etc/sysconfig/sendmail, or this will fail to work (this is a change from earlier RH releases, where it might have been a good idea to set DAEMON=no). This will run the daemon ONLY as a local server (on 127.0.0.1) for the sole purpose of submissions by MUAs.
