i've only tried windowmaker once, quite some time ago, but i'm pretty sure
it allowed me to create short-cut keys.

FYI the method is usually a bit different than with KDE. with KDE (IIRC)
you can define short-cut keys for menu items and desktop icons. that's not
how it works with the average wm. usually, there is one place to set
short-cut keys, where you simply say which command to run when certain keys
are pressed.

Nope. It's done by people with a bit of consideration.
It's really ridiculous to post saying you've killfiled someone, because if
they reply, you can't read it.

Hmm. I thought Enigmail automatically exported my key to that server when
I first created it a few days ago. I just sent it manually. Check to see
if it's at wwwkeys.pgp.net.

This does it automagically
Have in /etc/cron.daily script timecheck:
/usr/sbin/ntpdate 193.67.79.202 && /sbin/hwclock --systohc

I went back and verified your original message perfectly. How is
enigmail working out for you? I would love to recommend it to folks
who would never think of using Mutt or Slrn.

Enigmail works great. Thunderbird does not. It has caused me so many
problems in Linux that I now refuse to use it. I've decided to try it later
when it is a bit more stable. I heartily recommend Enigmail, though. It
generates your key and automagically verifies keys for you. I'm going to
switch to slrn and mutt eventually, but enigmail + Mozilla is a decent
alternative. However, I've decided to switch to KNode and KMail until I get
sslrn and mutt working. I know, KMail/KNode the OE of Linux, btut at least
the programs work.

Why? I use KDE and think it's great. It only impairs one's ability
to learn about Linux if you let it. I don't. I have 4 Konsole
screens open at all times and do all my sysadmin work with the CLI.
It's sensless to limit oneself to a single tool.

About the time on my Slack box (9.0). It set itself back! The only
clock in the house that did.

Thanks, Mike, but.....

I really don't mind doing this twice a year. Takes 5 seconds.

And I really DO mind having my computer connect to the Internet without
me being in conscious control of the event.

I do not linger on the Internet. I connect up with a pile of scripts (using
nc,wget,slrnpull,surfraw,mail,ftp,minicom and the like) run them and get off.

For instance: I'm writing this now, but it will be quite a while before it
is actually uploaded to the newsserver. And I'll be monitoring the interface
while that happens.

At the same time I'll be bringing down a dozen pages from google with the
results of a carefully composed search string, uploading and downloading
mail, retrieving some files from an FTP server, downloading several webpages,
and sending a file to someone expecting it, whose box will be on the net for a
narrow window....(that window determining the time of this particular
connection....)

This is the dominant security strategy used by myself and my friends, and
many other people. Even our servers are only up during scheduled periods,
generally very short ones.
