Fink - Download Quick Start

notes on postfix configuration - mail for host.domain.net loops back to myself - I am seeing this on a Trustix mail server right now.
Trustix is a "pay-for" product (although there is an open version as well, I beleive), but it looks pretty good; lean, fast and secure. The whole system is supposed to be managed through a GUI app from windoze or another linux box, so the server can pretty much run headless (I'm guessing this and the automatic-update facility are probably missing from the free version).
Trouble is, the one I'm working on is not routing mail at the moment :(

The macosxhints Forums - Samba error - Finder pauses (smb_maperr32) - I am having this problem, and it looks like a bug in OS X :(
I have a pretty vanilla install of Debian 3.0 with standard smb setup using encrypted passwords, works fine from windoze clients and even works fine from OS X command line (even if the share is mounted from Finder), but Finder will not copy files. You can even create folders though Finder... ???!
Arse.

Arbornet, Inc. - free shells! (it's FreeBSD actually, but that's still Open Source enough for me).

realprogrammers: How It Works: DNS: Overview -- by hackers, for hackers. This is well useful - I wasn't familiar with the "host" command before, but it saved my ass today. Thankfully, I was working on a Linux mail server :)
