Just FYI, Lilux AG is 19h00 as stated on the written convocation.

Hi,
I have a strange problem... I have a box running ubuntu dapper, and all
is fine.
Now I cloned the disk, and put it into another box which is 100& the
same hardware, and it still works fine, apart of one thing...
What was eth0 and eth1 before is now eth2 and eth3 :-/
root@box:~# ifconfig -s -a
Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP
TX-OVR Flg
eth2 1500 0 1071 0 0 0 638 0 0
0 BMRU
eth3 1500 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
0 BMU
lo 16436 0 66 0 0 0 66 0 0
0 LRU
sit0 1480 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 O
root@box:~#
How can I go back to eth1/2 ?
Best regards,
Yves
p.s.
The NICs are an e1000 and a via_rhine, and unfortunately I found no way
of forcing the interface name on module load, that would be my preferred
solution...
Hi,
we are in the process of setting up a new web- and mailserver, and
consider switching from sendmail to another mail agent...
At the risk of launching a flamewar, which one would you recommend from
a security and maintainability point of view?
Best regards,
Yves
Hi,
as the subject says - can you tell me Free Software - related events in
french-speaking regions (ok, limit that to european countries) that are
of a certain size and level an thus merit visiting or participating in?
I'm not talking small install fests here, but rather larger events - I
am aware of the FOSDEM and RMLL, are there other such events around?
Somehow, I know much more stuff happening in german-speaking regions...
TIA, Eric
Hello,
I try to operate an old scanner on the parallel port for some small tasks.
I need to give rw permissions on /dev/parport0 for everyone, which I
achieved by changing the appropriate line in file
/etc/udev/static_devices.txt from
parport0 c 99 0 660
to
parport0 c 99 0 666
After reboot, the device had the permissions as expected:
ls -l /dev/parport*
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 0 2006-03-09 15:30 /dev/parport0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 1 2006-03-09 15:30 /dev/parport1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 2 2006-03-09 15:30 /dev/parport2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 3 2006-03-09 15:30 /dev/parport3
However, starting xsane failed (with error-message "No devices
detected"). Checking again the permissions on /dev/parport returned:
crw-rw---- 1 root root 99, 0 2006-03-09 15:30 /dev/parport0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 1 2006-03-09 15:30 /dev/parport1
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 2 2006-03-09 15:30 /dev/parport2
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 99, 3 2006-03-09 15:30 /dev/parport3
The rw-permissions on parport0 have disappeared for everyone !!
chmod 666 /dev/parport0 brings back the permissions, which allows me
this time to start xsane and to operate the scanner.
Does anybody have an idea why xsane changes the permissions on
/dev/parport0 and , even more important, how to make it permanent? Btw.,
commands like SANE_DEBUG_MUSTEK_PP=128 scanimage -L also change the
permissions, so I guess that it's scanimage or sane-find-scanner that
affect the permissions when xsane uses them while probing for scanners.
Thanks for your input.

Hi,
subject says it all: do you know of commercial companies (not administrations
or public services) that have successfully migrated to OpenOffice (or possibly
StarOffice)?
Pointers are welcome...
Greetings & TIA, Eric
Hi,
@work, I have to work with (insert as many expletives as you like) Lotus Notes.
Now, I'm wondering how to convert existing .nsf files to something a little bit
more standard, like, say, mbox? This of course including such unimportant things
like attachments.
There's an export function in the Notes client that will generate something
close enough to mbox, but without attachments - thus not usable.
I'd love to be able to get the task done without going through the server,
connecting through IMAP using a decent client etc, and what's more, on a
Linux box...
I've googled a bit, but the result so far has been very disappointing.
Does anyone know any means to get this done?
Greetings & TIA, Eric
Hi,
I was asked about courses giving both a good background (i.e. actual
working know-how) with Linux system administration, and which also
might lead to a certification (buzzword-sensitive employer compliant).
Can anyone recommend something there?
Greetings, Eric
P.S. Yes, there was a presentation on LPI at the LinuxDays, but I
missed it due to "other activities"... btw. the open source beer is
bottled by now - only about 8-10 days left to testing ;-)
There is an interesting article in Frankfurter Allgemein today about the
maturity of Linux. It is a rather simplistic view of Linux, written for
non-techies, and everyone on this list probably knows the story in more
depth than the article goes into. But, the interesting part to me is that
a main stream conservative paper like FAZ has picked up on the story and
painted a very positive picture of Linux and FOSS. See link below:
