-----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

Filesystem usage
by Mike Perry 14 Jun '06

14 Jun '06

Hi there, I am curious on some statistics and I was wondering you could help me out. I'm wondering what the output of the following command is on your system: root@chao:/tmp# cd / root@chao:/# du --max-depth=1 -h 4.2M ./bin 253K ./dev 36M ./etc 336M ./lib 0 ./mnt 436M ./opt 0 ./srv 18K ./tmp 0 ./sys 743M ./var 3.8G ./usr 38M ./boot 22G ./home 900M ./proc 9.0M ./sbin 4.5M ./root 0 ./media 0 ./initrd 28G . The system I ran on above is an ubuntu desktop machine that hasn't been rebuild in over a year closer to a year and half. For comparison a relatively stock ubuntu machine I have looks like: 4.4M ./bin 103K ./dev 12M ./etc 167M ./lib 0 ./mnt 0 ./opt 8.0K ./tmp 0 ./sys 209M ./var 1.6G ./usr 19M ./boot 2.3M ./home 513M ./proc 9.9M ./sbin 260K ./root 0 ./media 0 ./backup 0 ./initrd 2G . Thanks, Mike

Is anyone here actually using SPF and SRS in a Sendmail production environment? If so, I'd love to ask a few questions about resources, performance, and real-world experience. Thanks.

SoC's with USB host
by Jamie Guinan 10 Jun '06

10 Jun '06

To follow up on discussion about USB capabilities, I took a quick look at which platforms support USB host (so you can plug webcams, etc. *into* it), $ cd linux-2.6.16 $ find . | grep ohci ... ./drivers/usb/host/ohci-s3c2410.c [ Samsung ARM 920T ] ./drivers/usb/host/ohci-sa1111.c [ StrongARM(SA1110) companion Chip ] ./drivers/usb/host/ohci-lh7a404.c [ Sharp ARM920T ] ./drivers/usb/host/ohci-ppc-soc.c [ Various PowerPC (Freescale) ] ./drivers/usb/host/ohci-au1xxx.c [ AMD (formerly Alchemy) MIPS Au1000 ] ./drivers/usb/host/ohci-pxa27x.c [ XScale ARM (successor to SA1110] ... Those modules are thin hardware-specific glue around the main ohci/usb kernel code. I think the gumstix is a pxa25x, and only the 27x supports USB host. Development boards for a lot of these are priced rather high for the typical hobbyist budget, from a few hundred $$ on up, http://www.embeddedplanet.com/products/sbc.asp http://dkc3.digikey.com/PDF/T062/0378.pdf http://www.hitechglobal.com/boards/ARM920T.htm It looks like Gumstix and routerboard are the cheapest available products in this class. And they're great, but hopefully in the we'll see more things aimed at hobbyists, with USB host capability. -Jamie

Problem with usermod
by Chuck Noyes 04 Jun '06

04 Jun '06

Hi All, I'm running ubuntu (brezzy), and I just shot myself in the foot.... I went to add my username to a new group, but forgot to include the other groups that I belong to in the command. The command I used was 'sudo usermod -G <new-group> <my-username>'. Now I only belong to <new-group>. That removed my username from the other groups I belonged to, including the admin group. Is there a way undo what I did? I do have a copy of /etc/group before the change. Thanks, -Chuck

This looks like a really cool idea. http://www.boxesandarrows.com/view/an_open_source_conference_barcamp It was brought up on the Fedora Marketing list to see what people think of it for the next Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDcon).
