My Word 2003 became slow to startup versus when I call it with the /a switch (~3 seconds vs. ~40 seconds). After reading this article: http://pubs.logicalexpressions.com/pub0009/LPMArticle.asp?ID=282 I thought maybe I would find a bad template. I did not. I have removed known add-ins and yet...

Goal: Use NTFS folder permissions set by Active Directory groups to over-ride (restrict) access for a shared folder sub-tree. Share Approach: Create share at top of folder tree, group "Everyone" gets "read" Share permission Folder Security: Inheritance of NTFS permissions is turned off at all...

I'm reusing socket code from other sources to produce a server that listens on a port, receives a string, and returns a result code. I'm good on everything EXCEPT getting an open socket to timeout: snippet #!/usr/bin/php -q <?php error_reporting(1); ini_set('display_errors', '1'); $socket =...

I need to make some mass updates to an existing squirrelmail solution. Table: describe userprefs; +---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +---------+--------------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | user |...

I'm playing around with coding a tool to control SSHd access via scripted processing of IPs from logs and stuffing them into /etc/hosts.deny. (yes I know other tools already can do this, I'm forcing my self to think on my own as a coding exercise with some spare time...) This is on a remote...

I have a heavily formatted UL (via CSS) and am having trouble getting an image to float in the upper right of the DIV container for the UL. Anybody have a link to a tutorial? I'm starting at a semi-basic level but trying to work with existing, advanced CSS code. Thanks! Dave. D.E.R...

I'm weary of iTunes' interface to manage my iPod music. Mainly, I'm angry because I've got my "playlists" stored as folders on my desktop hard drive. Once I import those songs into the iTunes library, any notion of those folders of origin (which would be how I'd create a playlist easily) is...

Opinions please on the practical benefits and limits of the following httpd.conf segment. I'm trying to debug an application problem. I'm trying to unravel why the developer selected this particular configuration. MinSpareServers 20 MaxSpareServers 20 StartServers 20 MaxClients 20...

I'm having a heck of time getting a silly little awk script to run correctly. I know I'm not escaping/quoting the variable correctly, but I cannot figure out what's wrong. Objective, match a leading (time) string in a logfile and print the rest of the file from that matching poing to the end...

Seeking a recommendation: I'd like to add a RAID5 (4 drive) external drive chasis to an existing desktop that I'm using as a home server. I want to store media on the RAID space and retrieve it from points within the home. The desktop itself is less than a year old, but will require a...

I have a Ubuntu linux machine in a low-profile, 1 year old HP desktop. I think I can get my hands on an external USR serial modem to use as a fax (hylafax) send-by-email device off of my network. [Buying a new, internal, low-profile PCI modem seems kinda wasteful] It's literally been YEARS...

Every other application in my Office 2003 SP2 suite is correctly saving the menu bar changes/settings/layout EXCEPT PowerPoint. Any idea how to clean this up so that the menubar/toolbar stays the way I want it from session to session? I'm not getting any error or functional problems. Disk...

I appreciate your helping a Unix/Linux guy to figure out something trivial... When I receive an .XLS attached to email in Outlook, I double-click it and it opens in Excel just fine. Then, when I decide I want a "local copy", I use "File|Save As.." and the default Save As.. "folder" appears to...

DJB has recently released qmail into the public domain. This has raised some new issues about ownership, forked projects, and support... however, it's generally been regarded as a good step in developing qmail. DJB's website itself and Slashdot are good sources to get started on the new...

Hi, I've never been an emacs user on my Fedora 3-6 boxen. I have a specific machine that could use a little extra disk space. /usr/share/emacs is good for 51MB of free space. Again, I don't use emacs personally, but I don't know if it's considered a helper application for stuff I don't know...

I need to look into a folder tree using "find" to identify folders where the "execute" (+x) bit is not set for the owner. Ideas? D.E.R. Management - IT Project Management Consulting http://www.dermanagement.com/

Having some trouble getting things to behave on an rsync (two linux servers, both ext3). rsync -tavr /source/mailusers/[user wildcard/Maildir/.* /target/mailusers/[user wildcard]/Maildir I WANT it to replicate all folders that are "hidden" - those that being with a leading "." (dot) AND the...

In a previous version of Outlook, when I had the Outlook/Exchange server out of office rule enabled, I would be reminded that it was ON when I restarted Outlook. I find that my new installation of Outlook 2003 has a properly functioning OoO rule/assistant, but Outlook no longer reminds me that...

Here in the US, the government implemented a plan to have the spring and fall time changes (standard vs daylight savings) moved a couple of weeks away. We implemented that first for the springtime change. I woke to find my mail server reporting the wrong time today, "back by an hour", which is...
