(But leaving a copy on the server - Dreamhost claims I get infinite storage, so what the hell, might as well test their claim) Use IMAP if you are not. Go to the account settings, choose "Synchronization & Storage". Check the box that says "Keep messages for this account on this computer". Click the Advanced button and choose which folders you want to keep locally.

djbdns is kind of a lovely dns server. It's fine if you're doing something very limited with it, but in general nsd and unbound are better choices. BIND's not so bad.

For what its worth, I got it working by just using: ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant network={ ssid="Giewont" scan_ssid=1 key_mgmt=WPA-PSK psk="xyz" } in my wpa_supplicant conf file and adding: post-up wpa_supplicant -ieth0 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B to my eth0 definition in /etc/network/interfaces because whatever wpa_supplicant flags it was supplying were completely breaking the process, and I didn't feel like tracking down the flags one by one in the .d files. Wish I'd thought to do this yesterday instead of fighting with it for like 3 hours.

I'm trying to set up pptpd on a cheapo Debian VPS I have so I can watch Hulu. It's not going well. I followed various guides but my Windows 7 client can't connect to the Debian server. I enabled debug logging and the only entry at connection time is this: code:On the Windows 7 client, it goes "Verifying username and password", then "Connecting to <server1> using 'WAN Miniport (SSTP)'" then 30 seconds later gives an error 619. Googling the "reaping child" error gives advice to turn off compression and headers. pptpd-options has compression disabled by default (nobsdcomp), but neither conf file mentions headers so I'm not sure what the deal is here. Here's /etc/pptpd.conf: code:code:

Try ssh -Dlocalhost:1234 (the putty equivalent is "Dynamic" i think) and then configure your browser to use localhost:1234 as your socks proxy. That'll be much easier. That's how I would break out of a work firewall at work, if I ever did such things, which I'd NEVER do. EDIT: Didnt mean to sound like a shithead, if you REALLY want to set up pptpd, I can help, but argh, it IS a lovely experience. nitrogen fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Jun 16, 2011 |

Good idea. I set up an SSH tunnel. Seema to work, whatismyip reports my US IP, and I can access Hulu now (well most videos give me a "Sorry, we are unable to stream your connection" error, but it works) Thanks for your advice.

The other day I was trying to diagnose a problem where my machine wasn't able to access other computers via hostname (turned out to be due to the lack of hosts: wins entry in nsswitch.conf). During the process, there was some command I used that gave me a listing of all IPs and associated hostnames on the network and now I can't remember it. Does anyone know what command I'm talking about?

Anyone know how to update (and perhaps only) Apache httpd 2.2.3 to 2.2.19 on CentOS 5.5? I already have httpd installed. I tried to make install the 2.2.19 source, but it was installed to /usr/local/apache2 and didn't upgrade 2.2.3. And yum remove httpd looks like I'd have to go through the process of installing php 5.3.6 again.

Looks like the CentAlt repo has 2.2.19. Instructions here: http://centos.alt.ru/repository/centos/readme.txt ( the EPEL link is out of date, should say epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm ) It will try and ugprade other things though if you aren't careful. You can set enabled=0 in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ file and then use something like yum --enablerepo=CentALT upgrade httpd Alternately you can use rpm -e --nodeps (or whatever the flags you need to make it not uninstall other stuff), but then you end up with a messy system.

Is there a specific reason that you need httpd 2.2.19? RHEL based systems (like CentOS) have patches backported, so even though the version number isn't in line with the most recent release from the original maintainers of the project, it likely still contains most/all of the relevant bugfixes and security patches. Unless you have a compelling reason for 2.2.19, I would strongly recommend you simply stick with the version that's present in the yum channels. It's significantly easier to stay on top of updates and maintain the system with a package manager as opposed to compiling from source.

Is there a way to suppress specific kernel messages? I run Slackware 13.37 on one machine, but had to downgrade to an older Samba build because of crucial shares on a Windows 95 dedicated audio workstation. The custom-built hardware it carries is unsupported by newer Windows versions (and motherboards). The annoying thing is that each time I mount the shares the following msg gets plastered all over stdout on every terminal, incl. any open in a GUI. The machine isn't up on a daily basis, and never on before the Slackware box, so it's no use checking if it's up in an init script. --- [20985.593711] smbfs is deprecated and will be removed from the 2.6.37 kernel. Please migrate to cifs Message from syslogd@machine at date ... machine kernel: [20985.593711] smbfs is deprecated and will be removed from the 2.6.37 kernel. Please migrate to cifs --- It's not a big problem; just annoying as hell when I'm editing stuff on terminals.

Ah, thanks for the tip, didn't think of that. Unfortunately, even though the option is clearly valid according to the man page in Slack the it's still getting through. Strange thing is that it's just that particular one re. Samba.

There's something terribly wrong with the system clock on my Thinkpad W510, running Ubuntu 11.04. It only started acting up after the upgrade to 11.04, but the clock basically drifts by a couple of hours each day. It's not a timezone issue, as the clock is not off by an exact hour interval. I tried installing NTP, but it doesn't seem to do anything. I have no idea what's going on, but I'm really sick of typing "austin time" into google.

Hrm. Do the following: $ sudo /etc/init.d/ntp stop $ sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org $ sudo hwclock --systohc then reboot $ sudo shutdown -r now and then run the steps I said at first (ntpq -p, etc) as well as log entries from syslog re: ntp At worst case at this point, you can use "sudo ntpdate -u pool.ntp.org" to set the time if we can't get ntpd working properly. nitrogen fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Jun 19, 2011 |

Wow, color my impressed. I'm still a newbie trying to play around with Linux, so I installed Kubuntu on an older laptop. I needed to print something out so I downloaded a 365MB HP driver to use on my computer running Windows. I plugged the printer into my Kubuntu laptop and it printed right away, no downloads needed. Amazing.

Did you check the links in /etc/rc2.d? (or are they rc3.d in ubuntu?) I have no idea what else it could be at this point.

OK, the rc2.d script was disabled, labeled K77ntp instead of S77ntp. I renamed it and it starts on boot now. I'll have to wait and see if it stays set correctly this time. Edit: looks like it's drifting behind by about 5 minutes every hour. So, after a day it will be off by about 2 hours, and I'm pretty sure ntp won't sync up when the time is too far off.

I want to say that there will be an /etc/default/ntp.conf or something similar that you can use to modify the drift correction. As I recall, ntp won't adjust the date if it's over a pre-defined threshold. Man page checking would also be beneficial.
