Tried it on both computers. Works great! Neither will run the other's script.
Fantastic!
THANKS :-)

I will see if I can make the HWaddr test work.
Thanks, those are great suggestions.

Re: Script Test [OT]

The problem is that both computers return hostname = localhost, so that won't
work. IP address is not always possible, as the network might not be up,
especially on the laptop.
How would I check the HWaddress (MAC)?
As ifconfig returns a whole list of things:
1.How can I isolate just 00:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx in order to make a comparision?
2.How do I make this comparison in bash? I guess this value must be a string?

Thunderbird header 'date' display -
by Bob Goodwin
Until changing to F-9 Thunderbird used to display the e-mail sender's
time and offset in the header above the text field like "14:03:08 -0500"
instead of "15:03" which is an almost totally useless bit of information
[to me] and is already displayed in the list of incoming messages.
I've spent a lot of time looking for the reason but to no avail. Any
idea why and how to restore it?

Samba Crash
by Darren Foster
Hi There Folks,
I have a problem in fedora core 9 in that when ever i go to system settings
and click on Samba i get a KDE Crash Report with the following short
description message.
The application KDE Control Module (kcmshell4) crashed and caused the signal
11 (SIGSEGV)
This happens when ever i try to do this even after a restart.
The KDE Crash Handler recommended placing a bug report but i dont really
know how to go about that..
Any advice appreciated either a fix if it is known or advice on how to
submit a bug report.
Thanking you in advance.
Regards,

Can't switch to KDE
by Aaron Konstam
I do a switchdesk and set KDE as the default window manager. I am told
that I have to restart X to make it happen. I do that by typing:
ctrl-alt-backspace (or I go to init 3 and then back to init 5).
But nothing works. Were have I gone wrong?

Re: Script Test [OT]

A suggestion I found on the net is to test for the value of md5sum
/etc/passwd. Now, does this stay the same, even if a password is added or
changed? Is it unique to a computer? And also, how do I isolate the number and
strip off the space and "/etc/passwd" from the result?

Regarding Fedora core 7
by winiston
Respected Sir/Madam,
My name is P.Winiston. I am working in Futura Automation Pvt Ltd as a R&D Engineer.
Technical problem:
We are using Intel 852GME chipset with 6.4" Display.
After installing the Fedora core 7, it support 800x600 resolution.But it is not supporting for 640x480 resolution. (ex : display gets banned)
If i install Redhat Linux 5.0 ,it support for both 800x600 and 640x480 resolution.
I want to use Fedora core7 with 640x480 resolution only.
Can you provide the VGA driver for Fedora core 7?
How to make it works?
We are ready to pay money for your service.
I would be very thankful if you do my needy.
With Best Regards,
Winiston.P

Mouse in gnome-terminal under ssh??
by Beartooth
I'm most of the way through the throes of getting my main email
account (*not* this one that I post from) shifted over from where it was
to a domain of my own, still hosted by my remote ISP.
Years ago, that kind host did something to make enable-mouse-in-
xterm work, even though I ran the old account (and am running the new)
under ssh, using a gnome-terminal under Fedora. (He also runs Fedora.)
[X] Enable-mouse-in-xterm is still checked in the new Alpine
configuration -- but it no longer works.
I find this an invaluable tweak, which my fingers have long since
adopted without requiring conscious attention. So now, of course, suddenly
I'm stumbling constantly in all directions with everything I try to write.
My host has long since forgotten how he made it work, and I never
really understood in the first place.
Can someone here tell us?

Subject: Fedora Board IRC meeting 1800 UTC 2008-09-09
Date: Sat, 06 Sep 2008 09:33:30 -0400
The Board is holding its monthly public meeting on Tuesday, 9 September
2008, at 1800 UTC on IRC Freenode. The public is invited to do the
following:
* Join #fedora-board-meeting to see the Board's conversation. This
channel is read-only for non-Board members.
* Join #fedora-board-public to discuss topics and post questions. This
channel is read/write for everyone.
The moderator will direct questions from the #fedora-board-public
channel to the Board members at #fedora-board-meeting. This should limit
confusion and ensure our logs are useful to everyone.
The Board has set aside one meeting of each month as a public "town
hall" style meeting. We are *still* hoping to hold an audio-based
meeting at some point in the near future using some of the new resources
being developed by the Infrastructure team. More news on this will be
forthcoming. We look forward to seeing you at the meeting.
