Converting an iPAQ

by Wesley Allen

For the last few months I've been hoping to save up some money and get a Zaurus, I don't think that it's going to happen any time soon. So, I've got an iPAQ that I can't sync, or even connect, with my linux laptop and it's beginning to get on my nerves. So, even though I've got some software on my iPAQ that I'll miss (a Bible Reader with the Greek Text and SimCity 2000), I'm thinking that it's time to take the plunge and get Linux and Qtopia on my 3835. Three Questions, 1. Has anyone on the list done this, especially with this model? 2. Has anyone who has done this used any of theKompany's embedded apps? 3. Is there anyone willing to help me do this face to face? I could do this on my own, but the idea of potentially owning a $599 paperweight dims my enthusiasm when I think of going it alone. (I'll buy the coffee) I've got a serial adapter, so that's not a problem. So, what do you say, anyone out there willing to teach me something new? Wes --

HI Everybody, I've enjoyed sitting back for a couple of days, resting my carpal tunnels, and reading the opinions of the WLUG membership. I would like to note that I have expressed WLUG's general displeasure with BUG to the president of BUG, Rick Zach. He told me that the calendar issue would be cleared up if we chose to renew our membership. Clint Moyer is quite correct when he points out that WLUG can afford the $50 if we so choose, but unfortunately we're not at five figures in the bank (unless you count the two figures for cents). :-) Certainly, if we did decide to renew, I would attend any/all BUG meetings, insure that WLUG had a presence at the MegaMeeting, etc. I did this last year after we paid our initial $50 membership fee. I'll sit back a bit longer and wait for any other comments from WLUG members on this topic. I'll probably close the topic by this weekend, unless the discussion is lively at that time.

The history, BTW, is that Craig made the first 2.[12]* RPMs, and I modified them a bit somewhere around 2.20. They stayed about the same for 2.3, and then completely changed for 2.4 which gathered some errors which I then fixed earlier today. <shrug> It's an interesting project, Justin Mason (the original author) took 6-12 months off to travel around Asia and handed the project to Craig. I think that was around 2.1 or 2.2. Things have been progressing, 2.21, then 2.30, then 2.31, where it stayed for quite a while. Craig decided to start Deersoft for SpamAssassin Pro (Windows-based plugins for Outlook/Exchange), and somewhere in the same period Justin came back. So I'm now not sure who's actually in control of the project, but it's progressing still. I think this is part of the reason why 2.41 is due out shortly. There's been a whole heck of a lot of work put into the 2.40 code, and then the release sorta doesn't go out smoothly, and bugs are found (I'd like to slap the people who changed my Razor2 code) that apparently weren't fully tested with all the other changes. I'm sure it'll get better as we go on. :) -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "With a PC, I always felt limited by the software available. On Unix, I am limited only by my knowledge." - Peter Schoenster

Heh...somehow SpamAssassin flagged this as a Viagra spam :) Interesting, since it didn't mention Viagra anywhere... Stop talking dirty Keith! It might be time to get a new ISP, too, since yours is blackholed in an RBL.... ----- Forwarded message from Keith Wright <kwright(a)gis.net> ----- Subject: *****SPAM***** Re: [Wlug] WLUG's membership in BUG X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=5.5 required=5.0 tests=IN_REP_TO,X_AUTH_WARNING,DOUBLE_CAPSWORD,FOR_FREE,VIAGRA, PORN_14,ASCII_FORM_ENTRY,RCVD_IN_OSIRUSOFT_COM version=2.31 X-Spam-Flag: YES X-Spam-Level: ***** X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.31 (devel $Id: SpamAssassin.pm,v 1.94.2.2 2002/06/20 17:20:29 hughescr Exp $) X-Spam-Report: 5.5 hits, 5 required; * -3.4 -- Found a In-Reply-To header * -0.7 -- Found a X-Authentication-Warning header * 1.1 -- BODY: A word in all caps repeated on the line * 1.1 -- BODY: No such thing as a free lunch (1) * 4.7 -- BODY: Plugs Viagra * 0.2 -- BODY: Uses words and phrases which indicate porn (14) * 0.5 -- BODY: Contains an ASCII-formatted form * 2.0 -- RBL: Received via a relay in relays.osirusoft.com [RBL check: found 245.48.41.216.relays.osirusoft.com., type: 127.0.0.3] ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Charles R.

RH7.3 Questions -round 4

by Richard Goodman

Well, I thought everything was working, but sendmail won't receive mail. 1) Doing a status on sendmail says its running 2) dig says that named is running on that server and returns all proper looking info. 3) I had saved the WORKING access, local-host-names and virtusertable files before replacing the bad hard drive and had copied them back into /etc/mail and done a make, so I assume they're good 4) I just restarted the mail server, which logged the following: Sep 3 19:03:39 boron sendmail[2674]: alias database /etc/aliases rebuilt by root Sep 3 19:03:39 boron sendmail[2674]: /etc/aliases: 40 aliases, longest 10 bytes, 395 bytes total Sep 3 19:03:40 boron sendmail[2687]: starting daemon (8.11.6): SMTP+queueing@01:00:00 The test mailing has the following entries in the SENDING sendmail log, and NO entries in the receiving sendmail log or firewall log: Sep 3 17:12:40 bach sendmail[11154]: g83LCec11154: from=<dick(a)goodman1.net>, size=385, class=0, nrc pts=1, msgid=<4.2.0.58.20020903171330.00a3f418(a)pop.goodman1.net>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=hos t3.goodman1.net [192.168.1.3] Sep 3 17:12:41 bach sendmail[11156]: g83LCec11154: to=<r.goodman(a)11harvard.com>, ctladdr=<dick@good man1.net> (503/503), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=esmtp, pri=30385, relay=11harvard.com. [66.92.78.250], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by 11harvard.com. and the following on a retry Sep 3 18:23:52 bach sendmail[11217]: g83LCec11154: to=<r.goodman(a)11harvard.com>, ctladdr=<dick@good man1.net> (503/503), delay=01:11:12, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=esmtp, pri=210385, relay=11harvard.com. [66.92.78.250], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by 11harvard.com. I have three similar servers (the other two still RH7.0) and I have never touched the sendmail config - only the access, local-host-names and virtusertable files on any of them. Has something changed between the versions of sendmail on RH7.0 and RH7.3 or have I missed something. The lack of any message on the receiving server puzzles me. Or has something changed in named relating to mail? Dick
