are you the newbie? not sure what you are looking for, but http://rute.2038bug.com/index.html.gz is a good read. I also hang out at www.justlinux.com, and irc.freenode.net #justlinux and irc.oftc.net #penguinslair. many people will also stear you towards www.google.com/linux as well as http://forums.gentoo.org/ are you looking for an actual linux class to attend, or just advise on how to get started? let use know more specifically what you are looking for and I'm sure someone here can help you out. mike --- "d.maly(a)ieee.org" <d_maly(a)charter.net> wrote: --------------------------------- Can anyone recommend alinux tutor for a teenager newbie?

So, apt-get install squirrelmail suggests imapproxy. Per imapproxy.org: "imapproxy was written to compensate for webmail clients that are unable to maintain persistent connections to an IMAP server. Most webmail clients need to log in to an IMAP server for nearly every single transaction. This behaviour can cause tragic performance problems on the IMAP server. imapproxy tries to deal with this problem by leaving server connections open for a short time after a webmail client logs out. When the webmail client connects again, imapproxy will determine if there's a cached connection available and reuse it if possible." Have you installed imapproxy? Would I regret it if I skip that package? I'd normally be accessing webmail using Firefox 1.5.x.x or later, IE 6 or later, and possibly (though unlikely) Camino or Safari. -- Rich

SoC's with USB host

by Jamie Guinan

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

Re: [Wlug] Problem with usermod

by Adam Keck

Hello Chuck, Another thing you can do is to pass init=/bin/bash to the kernel via grub at boot time. / will be mounted ro; remount it and /tmp rw and then edit /etc/group (vi /etc/group, vigroup (sp?), or use usermod by mounting /usr as well). This is why it is a good idea to use grub passwords on public machines ;-). -Adam On May 10, 2006, at 10:24 AM, Chuck Noyes wrote: > 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.

Putting them inside pool {} blocks just confuses readers into thinking they are locally scoped. So, in this configuration both hosts "slide" and "fixed" are considered known-clients, and they will both get dynamic addresses out of the second pool unless the fixed-address was uncommented for host "fixed" in which case "deny known-clients" etc. doesn't apply at all (they only apply to dynamic assignments). Another thing: fixed-address assignments must not be inside of pool ranges. The server will not check for such conflicts of static/dynamic addressing, so you will get duplicate IP assignments to more than one client in case fixed-addresses and ranges overlap. You can exclude the fixed-addresses like this: pool { range 10.10.20.20 10.10.20.24; range 10.10.20.26 10.10.20.127; [....] } Common practice is to not intersperse fixed-addresses throughout multiple pool ranges, to prevent unwieldy configurations with multiple range statements per pool. Rather, fixed-addresses are usually assigned contiguously together outside of a single pool range. Finally, when you say "everybody in here will not get an ip whatsoever", that is not true. The "deny known-clients" implicitely does "allow unknown-clients", and vice versa, so unknown-clients (those without any matching host {} declaration) will get dynamic addresses out of the first pool.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I figured it out. Thanks to all who helped point me in the right direction. The man page was just really hard to grasp until I took a few breaks and took a shot in the dark.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 So I am barking up the right tree. I can't get it to work yet, but it's good to know I'm on the right path. Thank you to everybody for helping. Just so everyone knows I'm listing wlug under my resources that helped me. (it's part of the class to list your resources for *everything*).

Re: [Wlug] dhcpd question

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 No, dhcpd catches any ip out of your range as an error and assigns it an address in your range. That was the first thing I tried. I know it has to do with pool's and deny a known host, but the syntax just isn't working for me. Mike Leo wrote: > could you just assign that MAC a bad IP setup? like the wrong netmask or something?
