If you want your gnus to show the To-addresses of mails in your archive-boxes (where mail you send is archived), the following lines in your ~/.gnus will probably do it:


(setq gnus-extra-headers '(To))
(setq nnmail-extra-headers gnus-extra-headers)
(setq gnus-summary-line-format "%U%R%z%I%(%[%4L: %-20,20f%]%) %s\n")
(setq gnus-ignored-from-addresses "Givename Surname")

Of course, you must replace "Givenname Surname" with something more valid :-).

Cool! Under Linux, you can run the libc binary to see what version it has:

/var/ns/domains/<domain>/nsswitch.conf on IRIX 6 determines what yp maps a slave NIS server should export from the machine. Btw, YP on IRIX is run by the magic 'nds' daemon.

I really must see how this looks in a web browser:

' a = á AltGr R = ® AltGr Z = < ` a = à AltGr r = ¶ AltGr z = « " a = ä AltGr Y = ¥ AltGr X = > ~ a = ã AltGr O = Ø AltGr x = » ' c = ç AltGr o = ø AltGr C = © AltGr 1 = ¹ AltGr P = Þ AltGr c = ¢ AltGr 2 = @ AltGr p = þ AltGr V = ` AltGr 3 = £ AltGr A = Æ AltGr B = ' AltGr 4 = $ AltGr a = æ AltGr M = º AltGr 5 = ½ AltGr S = § AltGr m = µ AltGr 6 = ¾ AltGr s = ß AltGr ; = × AltGr ! = ¡ AltGr D = Ð AltGr . = · AltGr ) = ± AltGr d = ð AltGr : = ÷ AltGr = = ° AltGr F = ª AltGr ? = ¿ AltGr K = &

(With upgrade to XFree 4, my keyboard settings went smart)

In order to use metatool (the graphical softwareRAID-tool of Solaris) you need the following lines in /etc/inetd.conf:


100229/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metad   rpc.metad
100230/1 tli rpc/tcp wait root /usr/opt/SUNWmd/sbin/rpc.metamhd rpc.metamhd

I'm hacking together some code to put this diary on the web in a decent way. The code will probably be available on http://www.lysator.liu.se/~forsberg/hacks/ someday.

To set a new IP on a Vista VCP-1000 you need to know that the dot is hidden below the button marked 'Y Z'. Not very intiutive.
