Re: [SuSE Linux] What is the easiest to use console mode mail program?

Hi zentara, if it is a machine, which is only used by one person at time, one way could be to have /etc/profile start fetchmail in daemon mode and configure it to only get mail if the ppp device is open. Then all that is needed is a cron-script, that checks for ppp and runs sendmail -q once every x minutes to send all outgoing mail (remember to tell sendmail to Hold_Expensive, and use the default sendmail call except for the -q30m which should be removed) As soon as this is configured by the administrator (you) all the user needs to think about is the ~/.fetchmailrc which is just as easy to understand as netscape's mail-config. The user will then be able to use whichever mail program (s)he wants. I know you asked for something independent of sendmail/fetchmail, but I think this would be a good implementation. (as soon as I have time, I am going to set this up on my comp) Regards Ole On Wed, 16 Dec 1998, zentara wrote: > > Hi, > > I'm trying to get an alternative to X and Netscape for my > mail, although it works great. > > I need something that is as simple as netscape for a user to > use, independently of sendmail and fetchmail, just as > Netscape does. > > In other words, the user's mail is kept and sent from the user's > home directory, and can be run in text mode.

Re: [SuSE Linux] problems with local network

Hi... Justed wanted to say that my problems are over now. It was the Network card itself. Altough it worked flawlesly under windows, it just didn't under linux. I changed it for a compex network card (with an rl2000 chip or so), which also had support in the ne2k-pci driver. The card was detected under the same IRQ/IO adress as the Realtek card, but this card just worked the way it should Vincent >Hi, > >On Mon, 14 Dec 1998, Vincent van't Hoog wrote: >> My kernel does have support for it.... >> here's part of my bootmessages: >> >> Dec 12 21:58:52 linuxbak kernel: Symbols match kernel version. >> Dec 12 21:58:52 linuxbak kernel: ne2k-pci.c:v0.99L 2/7/98 D.

[SuSE Linux] xserver, root shell, and charsets
by serguei＠errc.org 18 Dec '98

18 Dec '98

I've never worked with multi-user systems before and I don't have yet any feel for that kind of thing. If I'm in X (not as root) and open a root shell, I cannot call any x apps from the root shell, it says "couldn't connect to xserver". Am I doing something that goes against the will of the linux gods? Or am I just not doing it well? Could somebody please help me? Another question - I installed cyrillic fonts and can at least see cyrillics in netscape. However when I print, all usual gibberish from latin1 comes out. I thought printer gets the same bitmaps as the terminal, at least when I'm not printing ascii. I'm printing through APS filter because I don't have a true postcript printer. Is there a way to make it print charsets other then latin1, preferrably without editing configuration for every charset change? Thanks in advance.
