I would suggest that the link should be at the *top* of each post, to obviate both the obstinate and the ignorant.

Mr. Snow, thanks for speaking up on behalf of (so many of) those who left the list for the very reasons aforementioned, particulary point #2!

Apache httpd
by Richard
Hi. I have the apache httpd running, and when I go to my IP from school,
it connects. I was wondering how to configure it to connect say, to
www.{mydomain}.ca. I've tried vhosts, and tried my hostname, but nothing
works.
Thanks,

Re: Re: up2date crash problem

Hi thanks for the replies Alexander and William.
As I already wrote back to William Hooper on Usenet:

This is good advice, but unfortunately this seem to be a different bug.
I have up2date-4.1.21-3, and I tried running up2date directly as root
with the HTTP_PROXY variable set in order to avoid the bug described in
that report (suid python programs stripping environment variables for
security, thus losing HTTP_PROXY).
Unfortunately I get the same error as before, which is urllib error -2,
'Name or Service not known', as opposed to 110, which that bug report shows.
Any other ideas, anyone?
Thanks

Archiving mail after a period of time
by Ed Jones
Hello all.
I'm running procmail to sort my incoming mail into different mailboxes
(pretty much the standard use for procmail!).
I'd like to start archiving mail from these mailboxes after a certain period
(perhaps a month). Obviously, I could simply write a cron script to move the
whole mailbox file to another location, compress it and touch a new mailbox
file with appropriate permissions, but that would be a bit messy -
especially if I need to read the messages again.
So how can I move messages from one mailbox to another after they've been
delivered? I can't see how I could invoke procmail from a cron job to read
individual messages in a mailbox to check their received date - am I trying
to use the wrong tool?
Look forward to your replies.

RE: Fedora Core 1.B + ACL
by PIGNOL, Christian
Well,
I've found in a fedora-list archive an address where I can find a kernel
(based on Fedora Core 1) including Posix ACL patches and so on :
http://atrpms.net/dist/fc1/kernel/
Do you know this address ? What do you think about ?
Thanks a lot and regards

There's no ACL support in that kernel.

Interesting. I never read back that far in the changelog.
It's from before my time at Red Hat, and it appears that at some point
between then and me joining & taking over maintaining that kernel, it
was dropped again, and not mentioned in the changelog.

up2date crash problem
by Marc Siegel
Hi all,
up2date crashes for me on Fedora Core Release 1 (yarrow), and it is not
a problem I've seen anywhere else on the net. Please help!
I am behind a firewall, but as you can see below I have both set the
HTTP_PROXY environment variable as well as configured up2date-config to
use the proxy.
Please let me know if you have any ideas.
Thanks
Marc Siegel

I had already done the switch and rebooted but sendmail was running
again. I am going to look into doing the switch manually this time to
confirm. I also had already editied main.cf to listen to all devices as a
test and that did not help.
Thank you for the help, I will go play some more

Samba Server Configuration Tool 1.1.4 troubles
by Chadley Wilson
Hi
All of a sudden this tool starts is troubles.
This is what happens. On the file server open the tool and select
preferences and then security.
If you set the option to "user" click OK then add a user and click OK.
Now you go to the workstation and browse the network. No server to be
found? OK so I type in smb:///chadlin and press enter. It comes up but
keep asking for the username and password over and over again.
Then I finally get to see all the files and guess what it seems to be
working.
I then try to copy and paste file from the server to the home dir on the
wkstation but it asks for the username twice and the does nothing.
I tried to reboot the server (foolish I know) but still the prob
persists. Is there something that is forcing the share made on samba.
I have looked through the smb.conf file but cant find where to set the
security.
can anyone help me please

Network Card SMC2635W (ADM8211 Chipset) Setup
by Ian Wallace
I've searched the archives and tried numerous things however I don't
seem to be able to get my wireless card to work with Fedora Core 1.
I've downloaded the driver source from ADMtek and compiled it using the
kernel sources for the kernel I'm running (2188.nptl). That works ok,
and when I pop in the card I can see in /var/log/messages that it
recognizes the card, and loads the 8211 driver.
Beyond that though ... nothing. The power / activity light comes on, it
tries to associated itself with eth0 however never receives an IP from
the access point.
I've tried the wireless howto's and am a i bit confused if this should
be showing up as wlan0 or eth0, or eth1. Would someone be so kind as to
point me the correct direction for information on how to configure
this? Or where else things might be going wrong?
TIA

disk problems or false alarm??
by Guolin Cheng
Hi,
I run hundreds of Redhat 8.0 boxes and Fedora Core 1 boxes, both
Operation systems boxes give me some trouble reporting disk errors like
the following (collected from /var/log/messages of each linux boxes by
my own script). And a "badblocks" command on some of the related hard
drive reports that failed sectors found, while others reports no,
false-positive. Any one can give me suggestions or hints?
Thanks a lot.
