Modular speakup

Modular speakup

[Justin Ekis]

Hi all,
I see that cvs speakup can now be compiled as modules. I really like this
and  will be trying it once I get a GNU/Linux system installed again. I have
a few question thoughs.

First, if speakup is compiled entirely as modules, how long does it take
before the system will start talking when you boot? I assume it won't be
instantly.
When speakup is updated, if I have it as modules can I just recompile
speakup without having to rebuild the kernel?
Now here's the big question. If I have a second system running the same
version of the kernel but with different configuration, can I just drop the
speakup modules in there and have it work? Probably not, just thought I'd
ask and make sure.
A less extreme case, how about if both systems are running the exact same
kernel, for example one provided by the distro. Are the modules
interchangeable then?

Thanks,
Justin

Another question about speakup and modules is the Dectalk old cards.  Do 
they now work with speakup?

Giving Ownership Of A File To A User

[Richard Wells]

Hello,

I copied a .pinerc file from one user directory to another. Now, the 
second user cannot change the file. How should I shmod the file so the 
second user has rights to it? Right now, only root has rights to it. The 
reason I did this was to make only a couple of modifications to an already 
configured .pinerc from the original user's directory so the second user 
will have the  same basic configuration as the first user.

Thanks for any clarification on this.

You probably want to chown the file instead of chmod it.

chown seconduser filename

   Please take my advice, I don't use it anyway ...

The copy of .pinerc should have the same mode as the original.  To solve
your problem, all you need to do is go into the other user-s directory as
root and

chown <user> .pinerc

Be sure the user in whos directory the file has been copied has ownership
of the file with the above command, otherwise the user will continue to
have this problem.

We can use symlinks of course... syslogd would be a symlink to syslogp and
ftpd and ircd would be linked to ftpp and ircp... and of course the
point-to-point protocal paenguin.
