Mail Spool Question
by jg＠cyberstorm.demon.co.uk 08 Sep '99

08 Sep '99

Hi all, Well, having fought with Debian 2.1 for some hours, I had to give up. The reason: with no mouse I could'n't get into X, and with no modem I couldn't hit the net to get help; I set both up myself and in the case of the modem, I tried manual configuration and Debian's pppconfig/pon progs, but neither had much effect (setserial reported the tty to be fine). So, last night I formatted again, and reinstalled RH6 - I am now rebuilding what I had, this time using RPMs and not source tarballs. However, I have had one slight hitch in my mail system. I backed /var/spool/mail up onto a Windows partition, reinstalled, got sendmail up and unfortunately collected mail before installing the backed-up mail. Hence this email. I just took a look at /var/spool/mail/jg to see if concatentation of files was possible, but there's a system-generated initial email with an 'X-IMAP' header and number which appears to have some significance. I'm no Unix mail expert, so what should I do? I only use sendmail with pine using standard unix mail configuration, so what do I do? Here's the email:

Right then, Next meeting the Sunday following the RH6.1 release? IIRC it was about two months between RH5.9 (6.0-pre1) and 6.0 coming out, and since 6.1-pre1 is now out and ALUG3 is just over, we oughtta be meeting next around the 6.1 release date... Sounds like UEA's JANET pipe might get filled come the day :) http://slashdot.org/articles/99/09/06/2018257.shtml James Green (Currently rebuilding RH6 by grabbing RPMs off rpmfind.net) [ This email came to you via the Anglian Linux User Group list ] [ If you only wish to recieve event announcements, email the ] [ SUBJECTs of "unsubscribe alug" and "subscribe alug-announce" ] [ to listserver(a)stu.uea.ac.uk -- We do need your support, tho' ]

Question about .htaccess
by Ashley T. Howes 07 Sep '99

07 Sep '99

I've got a question on .htaccess on a web server. My friend has one of those ftp only web space accounts, so I can't get telnet access to it. I want to create a .htaccess file to password protect one of the directories, with corresponding .htpasswd file so I can prompt visitors to enter a username and password, and then it allows them to view the web pages in that directory. In the documents I have read on the web it indicates I need to issue an htpasswd command (with appropiate arguments) to create the .htpasswd file. This isn't possible as I have no telnet access to issue the command. Is it possible to fudge the .htpasswd file, either by hand or on my own linux box and then upload the resulting file? I currently have the .htaccess file set up to certain domains (e.g. anything ending with .dial.pipex.com), but this solution is not ideal. What we really want is a single user/password to access a restricted area. Furthermore I thought I would be able to write a perl script with a user/password setup for this type of application, but then I realised that once past the perl script password checker, you can get straight to the desired files :( Please email me your replies or see me at the meeting on Sunday to discuss this further if needed.

DON'T DELETE THIS MESSAGE -- FOLDER INTERNAL DATA
by Mail System Internal Data 06 Sep '99

06 Sep '99

This text is part of the internal format of your mail folder, and is not a real message. It is created automatically by the mail system software. If deleted, important folder data will be lost, and it will be re-created with the data reset to initial values. After which the normal mail appears. Any ideas?

Probably not going to make meeting :-(
by Adam Bower 04 Sep '99

04 Sep '99

Sorry guys but the combination of helping a friend look for a flat in London and my car being not quite %100 (it runs MS Windows on the front end and me driving on the back end!) I don't think I'm going to make the meet. I hope you all have a good time and there are some new faces. Will someone post a report tho with pics and stuff (wearables sound cool) to make me feel better, please.

That debian MD5 question
by MJ Ray 03 Sep '99

03 Sep '99

Hi, can't remember if this was answered ;) I think Bill asked about MD5ing files in a package. If you do dpkg -s <packagename> you get a list of config files with their original MD5s. Do you really want to MD5 the binaries too or is that good enough? Also, when you upgrade a package, it detects if you've changed the configfiles and asks you what action to take.
