Gah! (Also known as: anyone able to connect to Exchange 2010?)

Hey, all.  I've had almost complete failure in trying to connect to our
Exchange 2010 servers.  Alas, IMAP *is* disabled, so that's not an option. 
Furthermore, it'd be really nice if I could do the calendaring angle, too.  So:
anyone have any luck on this?  If not, I'll just throw in the towel and stick
with the web client, but I'd *really* like the ease of searching, etc., that a
fat client can offer.

Thanks,

-Ken

Check out davmail (davmail.sourceforge.net).  Thunderbird + Lightning + 
davmail has saved my sanity and my job; being forced over to BPOS was 
the proverbial straw that broke this camel's back, and I had even gone 
so far as to start updating my resume in a fit of insanity when I 
discovered that Thunderbird + davmail actually works, for both mail and 
calendar.  FWIW, I had a great deal of trouble with evolution + davmail.

Evolution with the MAPI plugin works, mostly.  Although there is a bug
that it wont reconnect properly in some cases after you work offline.
But in general it works for me.

Where: MIT Building E-51, Room 061
        2 Amherst St, Cambridge
        Plenty of free parking in front of the building.
	

What you need to bring: Your computer, monitor, power strips and your
Linux distributions. We do have copies of some distributions.
In general we have expertise with most distros, but if you need special
expertise, please email the BLU discussion list in advance. Today, most
distros are using Live CDs that you can try out and then install.
Additionally, CD images can be pushed onto USB sticks using various USB
creators.

COST: It's free! However, we DO have expenses, and contributions are
welcome. Please consider contributing $25 per machine.

Our volunteers will help you to install Linux on your own system.  While
Linux runs on most systems, some systems do have configurations and
hardware that may not be supported. Please consult the following web
pages for hardware compatibility. While we prefer you to bring your own
distros, our volunteers will normally have

       Linux Howto Pages: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html
       Linux Frequently Asked Questions: http://tldp.org/docs.html#faq
	Additionally, there are forums and listservs for most distros.

Generally our volunteers have sets of the latest Fedora, SuSE and
Ubuntu distributions:

FREE - collection of RJ11 phone cords


Offered is an assortment of phone cords (approx 100 pcs)
fitted with RJ11 (standard 4-conductor) connectors.
Cables range in length from a few inches to approx 10ft,
many still in original packaging.  Found these leftovers
from a failed startup while cleaning the basement...

Free computer gear

I have a lenovo docking station that fits T60 and similar (T40s, and
others).
Mid-tower Antec case. Old style with front door. Dark gray. 4 5.25" bays
and quite a few internal 3.5" bays.
Mid-tower generic case. 4 5.25" bays. Less internal 3.5" bays than Antec.

I've had this stuff sitting around for sometime. Need to get rid of it.

Re: SCP from STDIN: "-t" option undocumented?

Not sure about scp, but you could use:

ssh 192.168.1.2 "cat > destFile"

Is this documented anywhere? I don't understand why the option would be
left out of the man page.


Although I've never heard of the -t option to scp myself, I've accomplished the equivalent of copying over stdin/stdout. You can invoke a command that dumps on stdout and then pipe that to ssh with a program that pulls from stdin.

Ie.
dd if=infile | ssh remotehost dd of=outfile
or
tar cf - | ssh remotehost tar xvf -

Oops, forgot the infile in my 2nd example. Should be:
tar cf - infile | ssh remotehost tar xvf -
