OT(FWIW) httpd-2.2 on FC4
by David Cary Hart 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

I still have this on a test machine but it can be built on FC4. You just have to use the bundled apr which requires the following changes in the spec file (installing rawhide apr, apr-util creates dependency hell): Change: # forcibly prevent use of bundled apr, apr-util, pcre rm -rf srclib/{apr,apr-util,pcre} To: rm -rf srclib/{pcre} Add: --with-ldap (enable-ldap is in the spec but not the correct syntax). Delete the --with-apr --with-apr-util lines. PLEASE NOTE: Third party modules for 2.0 will NOT work in 2.2! Read the on-line docs. YMMV!

Console powersave state
by Sergey 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Does anyone know how to put monitor into powersave mode? What I have figured out so far is that # setterm -blank 1 would result in putting monitor into powersave mode in 1 minute of inactivity. The command actually produces a sequence if "\E[9;1]", where "1" is number of minutes. So you could redirect the output to any tty via /dev entry. Thus I think a sequence to put the monitor into powersave immediately should exist. Also I have figured out that putting any number >3 to /sys/class/graphics/fb0/blank will do the job, however I have absolutely no idea what the number are supposed to mean. Any ideas?

strange value of a variable after a php form
by Jean-Philippe Battu 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hello On FC4, I set up httpd 2.0.55 and php 4.xxx. I wrote a sample html code with a form like this : <html><body> <form method="post" action="011verif.php"> Choix : <select name="nom"> <option value="val1">val1</option> <option value="val2">val2</option> <option value="val3">val3</option> <option value="val4">val4</option> </select> <input type="submit" value="OK"> </form> </body></html> and I wrote 011verif.php like this: <?php $name = $_POST['name']; print("<center>value $name </center>"); ?> on php4.2.2 the output returned is : value val2name=val2 and on php4.3.10 the output returned is more correct : value val2 what is the difference between these two outputs ? the php configuration in php.ini is the same and I don't think that is a bug on php4.2.2 Do you know this problem ? Thanks for your feedbacks Cheers Jean-Philippe BATTU Grenoble FRANCE jean-philippe.battu(a)bull.net jeanpba(a)free.fr http://jeanpba.homeip.net

The following from Ulrich worked. mkdir /dev/mqueue mount -t mqueue none /dev/mqueue and then remove all the unused message queues using 'rm' from /dev/mqueue. Thanks, Daniel Shay

I uncomment the line DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=submission, Name=MSA, M=Ea')dnl but, I have a question: if outlook express does not use port 587, then what to do? How to make sure that if outlook express finds port 25 blocked, it will try port 587? What about the other line dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtps, Name=TLSMTA, M=s')dnl does that help if it is uncomment too? Thanks! Hongwei

Is there a group list explicitly for Directory Server? I am currently interested in looking into the possibility of moving my current Samba-LDAP PDC/BDC to Directory Server?

unexpected DNS look ups being logged
by Tim 05 Dec '05

05 Dec '05

Hi, I see things reported in logwatch that I don't expect. For instance, named reports resolving addresses that are part of spams I'm receiving. However, I'm not using spam filtering, I'm not loading HTML with images that might contain web bugs (and these spams were plain text, anyway), so I didn't expect Evolution to go checking on the addresses. Anybody else see the same thing, or can explain it? Thanks. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
