When set, if the "Reply-To:" field is set to the same value as the "To:" field, Mutt assumes that the "Reply- To:" field was set by the mailing list to automate responses to the list, and will ignore this field. To direct a response to the mailing list when this option is set, use the list-reply function; group- reply will reply to both the sender and the list. Mutt's a great console based email client, and I strongly reccommend it over pine. ttyl, -- Josh Huber

Probably not (though there is room for error on that one). At work I've gotten neither pump nor ISC's dhcpclient to work on my laptop, but dhcpcd works perfectly. I haven't tried any others at WPI, as it worked there on the first try. I don't suppose anyone has a real explanation for flakiness between DHCP servers/clients, other than claiming that our Win2k DHCP server at work sucks (I already know THAT)? Brian J.

The box should already be semi setup to use an address between 192.168.1.101-105, or something like that. I don't remember exactly what I used and I'm not at home to check. The LANCE part is the ethernet chip, eth0 is the interface you need to use to access the net. Do you have any errors in the log file when you run dhcpd on the box? It might need to have some stuff put into /etc/dhcpd.conf to get it working right. I can check this at home if need be. And if need be, I can rip a copy of RH 6.1 for Sparc and bring it to the next meeting for those who'd like to get packages for it. John

Right. eth0 is a network interface, not a device, so there is no /dev/ entry. If you're just trying to test the interface, you can also just assign it an IP by hand by doing "ifconfig eth0 192.168.blah.blah". You might also need some -netmask goodness, but I'm not sure. "man ifconfig" has the goods. Then once that works, I'd start getting into DHCP. I'm a little paranoid with DHCP... at work I use dhcpcd because pump doesn't work. At home (with road-runner), I use pump because dhcpcd doesn't work. Am I on crack? -Chuck

Well, I might be a little out of touch with my old-fashioned Slackware ways, but I don't think there's supposed to be a /dev/eth0. DHCP must not be working if it's not showing up in ifconfig, but try ifconfig eth0 to see if the interface exists. You can always try running dhcpcd manually, too.
