    evaluating a stored proc's string paramater as an argument for a query

    Hi, Thanks for the reply but that's not quite what i meant. I basically want the sp to be called with any number of 'code' arguments to be used in the query. Now the table the dataset is to be pulled from has a field called 'code' but the sp may be called looking for any number of code values...

    evaluating a stored proc's string paramater as an argument for a query

    Hi, I'm trying to write a stored procedure where one of the string parameters passed is 'evaluated' to be used within a query in that procedure. Giving a simplified example may be clearer. I have a table which has one of it's fields contain a 'code' from 1 to 99. I want the sp to return all...

    Problem forwarding mail out using exim

    Hi, I have a mail server running vanilla exim (debian woody). The connection to the outside world is via an ADSL connection. Mail is brought into the server b using fetchmail. Outgoing mail is via our ISP's mail relay (BT). Had forwarding for some users using the standard ".forward&quot...

    Fax Server

    Using WHFC will allow you to use a printer driver that will fax out from a windows appliction. There are also good word macros if you want to do fax-merging etc.

    lost root password, how can i recover?

    If single user mode is still asking for a password - then it sounds like the inittab file specifically requests that a password is required for that run level too. I know debian does this. See the second post in this thread re passing an init=/bin/bash parameter at the boot prompt in lilo or...

    Installation of hotfixes with admin priviledge logged on as user

    Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for installing hotfixes for 2000 pro workstations but while a regular user is logged on. Basically, I'm looking after about 60 2000 pro workstations in an NT4 server environment (so no active directory). Also, no SMS server. Rather than run around all 60...

    Outlook: Automatically create contacts from inbox

    Hi, I'm looking for a method (outlook xp) to automatically create contacts (in a personal folder) from incoming emails. I know that by manually copying a single email from an email folder into a contacts folder will create a contact (with the email body in the notes field) but creating a rule...

    www.samspade.org is also good for tracking down IP addresses etc.

    Netconfig

    You could probably do most with the ifconfig and hostname commands. Then you could use simple shell scripts to do this.

    DNS is frying my brain, One linux computer/virtual hosts

    Postfix is useful for migrating in that it contains it's own 'sendmail' executeable that spoofs what sendmail does. So that applications that spawn sendmail directly (rather than connect to port 25) can do the same with postfix via this 'sendmail' interface. See...

    DNS is frying my brain, One linux computer/virtual hosts

    Hi, It is common practice in LInux installations to have both localhost and the 'proper' hostname defined. Have a look at /etc/hosts. You'll have something like: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd mymachine mymachine.mydomain Now, you still use the 'hostname' command to...

    is there any ISA liked program in Linux?

    There's a whole array of tools. For a proxy server, have a look at "squid".

    Can't communicate to linux server thru VPN

    First, check that there is no firewall rule on the linux box that would block it. Specifically, you may be enabling 'ping' from the local subnet (192.168.1.0) but not from the subnet the VPN client is on. Another checking method is to see if the linux box has the appropriate routing table set...

    need faster mail server

    Sounds like you are MASQing the internal network behind the firewall's internal interface (as the DMZ sees them as one IP address). Try reconfiguring so that the local network MASQs behind the external interface so the DMZ will recieve packets from the private machines proper IP addresses.

    lost root password, how can i recover?

    With most distro's in you boot into single user mode, you get root access without entering the password - so you can run passwd and change it. With lilo, at the boot prompt, type: linux 1 or linux single (provided the kernel image you use is referenced as 'linux' - hitting <tab> at the boot...

    Help configuring eth0

    Hmmm, That netmask is invalid. They may have meant 255.255.255.240 but that would mean the IP address 92.116.60.15 is invalid too as for that mask, it would be a network address and not a host address. Why? Simplifying it, a range of hosts determined by a subnet can also be referenced by a...

    need faster mail server

    Hi, The 1652K free indicates that that amount is available at the moment. The used SWAP 8744K indicates that at some point, swapping was instigated and that amount was used. If a box generally uses swap space, then there's an argument to put in proper RAM. Playing with hdparm isn't too bad -...

    need faster mail server

    Well, it's using swap so it could with a bit more memory. Though it hasn't used much so 64MB should be OK. Is this the top results when the server is running slow? There is hardly any processor load so a bigger processor isn't necessary if this is average load.

    BEGINNERS ADVICE

    Off the top of my head, samba will do all the networking though I'm not sure about the policies (you may need to run poledit on an MS box and copy it up to the linux box manually). Search google for that particular one. As for a proxy server - piece of cake. However, there's a good argument to...
