Hi all,
on a machine a self-signed certificate expired recently. It was created
via mod-ssl-makecert (according to
/usr/doc/libapache-mod-ssl-doc/README.Debian.gz).
After googl'ing and reading HOWTOs I still don't know how to to renew it
(it shall have a new expiration date). For example, I tried

Dear list,
for backup purposes (on i386 architecture) I'm planning the purchase of
two 60GB-IDE discs, an exchange frame [right word?] and a
PCI-IDE-Controller Card. SCSI is no option due to the huge difference in
the price, at least here in Germany.
Since my knowledge about IDE/ATA is near zero

Currently I'm building a web application using python. The database only
stores a login name and an account name (e.g. 'john' and

remote account. I want to check the a

Dear list,
I have a host inside a university network (IP a.b.c.d). There's a DNS
server (out of my control) authoritative for the university's domain
uni.tld and another one (which I can influence) authoritative for
sub.uni.tld. The latter maps my host myhost.sub.uni.tld to the IP
a.b.c.d.

It's not what you meant, but sometimes I use

Sorry for not being precisely enough:
Rather than introductory docs I'm looking for a _short_ reference of
Unix / Linux commands. The best would be _one_ table with all command
names and descriptions and maybe links to the man pages.

Any URLs for that?

Could you give me hints (URLs, book titles) to inform me about
session management / user authentication on a web server? I'm planning a
DBMS-backed web app. (using apache, postgresql, python).
My current aproach is to use https, let the user auth. himself via
password and generate a session id so

Nice trick, Kent. Thanx!

What would you regard as the most elegant way to keep all users of a
system from starting a X session.
It should be
a) temporarily and
b) nothing like apt-get remove ... ;-)

Given that a W2k client copies a large file into a samba share on a
Linux server, how can a process (e.g. shell script) that will read this
file wait until the file is totally transfered?
The problem is that the file is (on the server) accessible for reading
from the moment the client starts to co
