Engg Colleges - 25th August
by Aarjav Trivedi 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

Hi, I study in PVPP COE Sion. It stays closed on Saturday. It is true that many other engg colleges are also closed on Saturday. I also second Philips suggestion that you should go to science colleges like Ruia, i know quite a few people in Ruia BSC Comp.Sci might be interested in Linux. Also i have a suggestion, if someone has a cdwriter that distributing Linux CDs at cost price would give a boost to the number of active Linuxers around here. I am busy on Saturdays so I cannot promise if I will come but i would appreciate if the various colleges being visited and the timings are announced on the list. I will try to make it. Regards Aarjav p.s. - I can put up a notice in my college if u want but on a saturday, very few people are likely to come. Talking out of experience as far as my college is concerned. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make international calls for as low as $.04/minute with Yahoo!

VSNL's mail and how to use sendmail to help
by Philip S Tellis 15 Aug '01

15 Aug '01

So VSNL has sent a clarification mail to all subscribers. The question now for us linux users is how to configure sendmail/postfix/exim/etc to set the MAIL FROM: as blah(a)vsnl.net while still keeping the From: as whatever we want? Editing the source is one option, but one I'd like to avoid as far as possible. Is there a configuration directive/pipe through procmail that can do it? If you don't want to go through this hassle though, the easiest way is to set a Reply-To: header. This may mess up with mailing lists though, like this one. Philip -- Mulder: how big can this thing get? Scully: Mulder, I.. (smiles) sorry, for a second there it felt like old times.

Smart Host (was Re: [ILUG-BOM] Rotten VSNL.)
by dodobh＠nettaxi.com 15 Aug '01

Manish Jethani spewed into the ether: >> Yes, but with vsnl as the smart host. > >What is smart host? I am running a local smtp and I am able to >send mails to almost anyone using almost any From address. I >have not set smart host. What is the use of smart host? A smart host is a machine which accepts mails from you and then delivers to the world. It takes the trouble of doing DNS lookups for you. This saves your bandwidth and lets you use your mail server to do fancy rewriting/adding those nasty legal signatures......

sound card configration
by Sameer Shinde 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

Hi all, I tried isapnptools. But I still can't use my sound card in RHL 7.1 During the bootup (dmesg) the message appears like : Activating ISA DMA hang workarounds. isapnp: Scanning for PnP cards... isapnp: Card 'OPL3-SAx' isapnp: 1 Plug & Play card detected total that means the sound card is detected by the RHL7.1 But still the sound test fails. I alsp try to execute pnpdump but, I didn't understand anything out of it. Also when I logout & halt the m/c. I get the message something like: saving mixer settings modprobe : Can't locate module sound - slot - 0 modprobe : Can't locate module sound - service - 0 - 0 aumix: error oopening mixer. How can I get rid of this & enjoy music form my linux box?

md devices
by Sameer Shinde 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

Hi all, Some days back I have asked about md devices which were causing problems during halting my system under the title Halting problem. At that time Mr. Rajan Parekh suggested that, it is happening becoz the sys is trying to swithch off the m/c, which can be done if one uses ATX type of mainboard. So he suggested me to remove the "-p" switch from your "halt" command. The idea works out properly. But later I found that when I try to softboot the system with ctrl-alt-del. One last line appears below system halted line is, stopping all md devices, before the system reboots. Why is this line appears? Does the system really halts or it just hangs or goes into wait state instead of halting? Thanks & Regards, SAMEER :)) ~~~~~ My Messanger IDs MSN: s2sameer Yahoo!: s9sameer RediffBol: s2sameer Indiatimes: s2sameer AIM: s2sameer ICQ : 126769285

Rotten VSNL.
by Q u a s i 14 Aug '01

14 Aug '01

I kick myself for voting them the best ISP in a survey some time back. Those rotten assholes have gone mad or something? We should all come together and sue them for wasting so many man hours to fix this idiosyncrasy. But the current situation is bad, so a few questions. 1. If we have our own smtp server running (eg. exim, qmail) then will the current restrictions of VSNL affect us? Or will it affect only those using VSNL smtp gateways? 2. If we have our own smtp gateway, we bypass vsnl dont we? quasi -- postscript -- Math is like love -- a simple idea but it can get complicated. -- R.
