ncftp's lls requiring /bin/more

Another ncftp peculiarity is lls, which won't work because it requires /usr/bin/more. The manual says you can set the environmental variable, $PAGER, but that didn't work for me. I forced lls to work by linking /bin/less to /bin/more. -- Greg MathesonFailed to turn my reluctant stu

Spamassassin + exim + cygwin

I'm trying to get spamassassin to work with exim under cygwin. I've got everything up and running fine, except for spamd. Its compiled, but when I go to run it I end up with an ntvdm process running, using up all available cpu time. This means that I end up running spamassassin for each message th

Nehal, Perhaps I wasn't so clear in explaining the situation. I don't think you're going to be able to read an ext2-formatted diskette without some other software. I don't know for fact that there is software for Windows that permits it to read Linux file systems (though I'd be surprised if t

Hi Randall, Thanks for your prompt reply. Actually I am a more a windows oriented person. And I have not used much of unix stuff except my project work. So again thanks. Let me try it tomorrow. And I will get back to you if I have some thing new (problem) for you. Thanks Nehal

Nehal, This one comes under the "Cygwin is not Unix" (nor Linux) category. Cygwin does not include its own file system--it uses those of the underlying Windows operating system on which it runs. That means FAT (FAT-16 and FAT-32 as well) and under Windows NT, 2000 or XP, NTFS are generally av

I just got the nearly complete cygwin setup this week (minus XFree86) and have noticed that ncftp is having a problem saving bookmarks. My $HOME is /cygdrive/c/Document and Settings/stimpleton (yes, with spaces, God damn Windows to hell) It's not making a $HOME/.ncftp directory and fails even i

Garth, FYI: Setup currently uses a set of static resource files for its dialogs. The setup developers have adopted a model where all the dialogs have the same size, and are drawn in the same window (IIRC, I may be mistaken). You seem to have some experience with this kind of programming. Why no

Ariel, If you system crashes, you should rectify that problem one way or another. BASH implements the "suspend" command, so you might be able to work with that. Recent email on this list (Subject: "GNU screen package ??") in this list suggests that this program ("screen," i.e.:
