how copy a file from a samba server with a space in it ?

file\ with\ space ?

tried that

interesting. Don't think I've seen that problem before with Samba

How about using ' or " to suround the path?

Need an adice from Linux gurus. My webserver might get kind of hacked. 
It is hidden behind 5 firewall nodes, and only ports forwarded (= 
no public IP address there) are 110, 80, 25, 21. What actually is 
happening is, that I found around 20K spam emails in mail queue :-(


I provide Squirrel Mail to few of my friends, but it is rather old 
version 1.4.3a. When I start sendmail service, I can see two processes 
started, sendmail, and sm-msp-queue, so I wonder if the second one 
is valid? It might be for sending mails from localhost?

After some time, many of processes are started:

Any clues where should I look to remove the hack?

Your 5 FW don't help if port 25 (SMTP) is open. Properly configure 
Sendmail to not relay spams (lot of online documentation about that) 
or drop it and use Postfix instead (see http://www.postfix.org/spam.html). 
I'm not a Linux guru, but we ran with enough issues with sendmail 
a few years ago in my company to know how bad it is.

I thought that after all those years, it should be stable :-) I am 
not on CBL listing, so those mails actually don't get send. I can 
see "relying denied" in the log, as I allow only localhost and our 
internal domain 10* for relay ....

But I am scared a abit, as if Squirrel would be vulnerable, it sends 
mails from localhost, and then it would be really bad. Time to finally 
build new machine, install vmware ESXi, and some new distro upon 
that.

Take a look at ASSP. This one runs on port 25 and performs a lot 
of checks. And it drops the connection if traffic is identified as 
spam.

I use Exim as SMTP agent.

Why does Command on Linux require the libX... libraries?

And, is there a list of required libX... ?

SQLite: My version (shared library) on Linux fails as an "undefined 
symbol" error is reported: pthread_mutexattr_init

How can this be?

Did I miss to link with something when compile SQLite?

Ok got it. It's necessary to link with -lpthread -ldl

Whatever DL ist...

Next question: My dynamic library loads other dynamic libraries but 
can't find it.

Just run ldd on the rebol executable to find out which libraries 
it needs

LibDL is the dynamic (runtime) loader/linker

An executable needs it if it wants to load plug-ins

Just playing with Ubuntu JeOS.   How does one download stuff without 
a GUI ?  I tried wget and that isn't available.

how come we can do 

sudo aptitude install REBOL ?

can't do ...

Graham, did you try using apt-get to download stuff?

Nope.

Rebol isn't in the Ubuntu repositories

so what does one use in a server environment to download stuff?

wget <url> downloads files

So I guess you could get it directly from rebol.net that way?

I tried wget ... and command not recognized.

Try an "apt-get install wget"?

thanks .. that worked

How does one launch a new shell from an existing ? bash shell

oh ... just do this
./cheyenne &

Kaj, I know which libraries are necessary. But Rebol (or LibDL) can't 
find them even the libs are installed in /usr/local/lib

/usr/local/ is an odd place to have the X11 libraries. How were they 
installed there, and is that place in the library search paths?

I'm not talking abot X11 libs.

I'm talking about a dynamic lib I compiled myself that I use from 
Rebol.

This lib is linked against other dynamic libs (and GCC preferrs to 
use dynamic libs). And these other libs can't be found when I load 
my lib into Rebol.

I have switched to a static linking in which case it works. But I 
don't understand why the system can find dynamic libs in /usr/local/lib.

Those other libs are selfcompiled ones as well.

On Windows I start my Rebol scripts with such a line:


D:\rebol\sdk-2-7-5\tools\rebface.exe -s "D:\rebol\link\xpeers\users\privat\_incl.r" 
"%1"

This is the default action for .R files.

How can I mimic such a behaviour on Linux (only command line no GUI)? 
I tried a shebang line but doesn't work.

Ok, the shebang line has to have a Linux LF only otherwise the CR 
gets appended to the next argument.

Which leads me to the next question: How do you handle Rebol scripts 
that are used on Windows and Linux regarding returns? Do you just 
use the LF or CRLF or CR (OSX)?

by handling, do you mean running? because rebol on linux would not 
have any trouble running scripts written in windows notepad.

Yes, that's what I mean.

Ok, but the shebang can only be used if written in Unix style.

yes, windows can't use shebang notation for anything.

And now there is the poblem. You have a script that runs on Windows 
and Linux. On Linux via shebang. This implies Linux return style 
even if you edit it on Windows.

The launch environments are different in that the shebang path is 
used by the shell to know what to do with the script. You can also 
run a REBOL script in the linux terminal with: rebol -qs script.r 
and it will be the same script as under Windows. It might look a 
little ugly, but you could wrap your windows REBOL scripts in a shebang 
script.
