2000-02-15 Thread Jean Orloff
Hi, I am getting frustrated with Exim configuration for a satellite system (call it "debsat.domain.net") whose port 25 cannot be accessed from outside the domain. Inbound mail is fetched with fetchmail from "mailserv.domain.net", and local users have an email like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". This requi

I upgraded PostgreSQL to the potato version, and lost pgaccess. Oh well, it's broken out into another package, right? Fine. I apt-get installed that. Now it won't run at all. It gives me: invalid command name "namespace" while executing "namespace eval Mainlib { proc {cmd_Delete

I use oident because I have IP MASQ running on the LAN here. You can specify in a users file what the responce for every computer must be or for the entire LAN. My point is that it is quite fast because it doesn't do anything fancy, it just reads the users file and gives a responce. I have one res

There are a bunch of cad-like packages in debian; I'm hoping that people have tried enough of them to make a recommendation: I'm looking for something to do a house-walkthrough, with enough detail to show (for example) if a given size of book case will really fit in a particular location (so 1cm r

It is my understandng that in order for C++ to "delete" a dynamically-allocated object, that object need to have been created via "new". That said, I'd like to see the code where you do the allocation. Also, you may need to type-cast the void pointer. The new compiler version may be more picky a

If Emacs complains that A-x isn't defined, it means that it receives that A-x correctly, but Emacs has nothing assigned to this combination. It seems that there are no problem with X, as well as with Emacs. By the way, why do you use pc102 as XkbModel and assign all Xkb... explicitly?
