On a windows server, the SMTP server is set in the php.ini file. On a unix system, php just uses whatever mail transfer agent (MTA) is installed, which will either send directly to the reciepient's mail server, or to another SMTP server, depending on how it's configured. So your best bet may be...

Hi, I'm trying to better understand the if statement. I know that you can set variabes in an if statement, eg if ($foo = bar()), then do something with $foo. But how does this work in relation to compound if statements. Take the code below for example: <?php function f1 () { return "foo"; }...

gregsedwards, Have you figured this one out? I'm trying to do the same thing with a pricelist here, some sections of the report have a subheading with a small icon, some don't, so i need to resize the subheader sections accordingly (otherwise there's a big ugly gap between the main header and...

Hmmm, windows scripting. Not exactly my strong point. Would you mind posting the script (or at least an outline) so I and others can see how it's done? Thanks --e

Hi, I have a problem where the boss wants a closer eye kept on internet usage. This is all fine, i already have ISA set up and recording its daily, weekly and monthly reports. The trouble is the only way to access these reports seams to be by loggin in to the ISA server as an administrator...

I found the &quot;Add the Administrators security group to roaming user profiles&quot; option in Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> User Profiles This is under win2k-SP3. Also, for the ownership problem, you will find an option &quot;Do not check for user...

The administrative account for Postgresql is usually called postmaster or postgres. These accounts usually cant be directly logged into, but you can su to root then su to that account (check your /etc/passwd to tell what the account name is). once sued to that account you can create new users...

You can exit the gui with Ctrl-Alt-F8 this will give you a blank screen. Then Ctrl-Alt-F1 to get a command line login (F1 through F6 are all separate virtual terminals - you can log in more than once). You can return to the X session at any time with Ctrl-Alt-F7. This can be done at any time to...

Personally i find the best option is to set their SMTP server to that of the ISP who they are connecting through. This can be a bit of a pain if they are moving in and out of the office, but usually they are either allways out of the office, or accept having to come into the office (or VPN) to...

The line that says &quot;auto=start&quot; causes the connection to be started on boot (or on restart of the ipsec service). If you want to bring up the connection manually (eg when testing), you need to change this to &quot;auto=add&quot;.

I've done this at our office. It's actually quite easy. I just set up the RAS as if it were a workstation (except i loaded windows 2000 server), including all the software that would be on a workstation. Then the only thing you need to do is make sure that terminal services is installed (from...

I think i'm in a similar situation - the first big trip into the land of WANs :-) My situation is that I've just set up the first of two remote offices. This one was just a single PC and a printer (possibly more pcs later) at a remote warehouse. We have ADSL connections (2Mb at head office and...

Telnet is mentioned as being insecure because all communications take place in plain text. SSH is more secure since it encrypts the communication (also there are less vulnerabilities in the server side). I personally see no reason to offer a telnet service on a modern network - ssh clients are...

Hi all, I just faced a scenario where i had to lock out a certain user from various core folders in a windows 2000 AD network on short notice. Now i suppose the easy way would to have a lockout group prepaired earlier which has been added to the access control lists of the relevant folders...

Have you looked at the performance logs and alerts? These are a little cumbersome for long time periods, but should do the trick. What you do is go into the performance logs and alerts snap-in in MMC, then &quot;Create New Log Setting&quot;. You add counters in the same way as with the System...
