*** NOTES FOR LINUX USERS ***
In order for the email to work, the "from" header must be set to "isr.ist.utl.pt".

For SuSE users this means setting the FROM_HEADER config variable to "isr.ist.utl.pt" (using yast, "system administration" menu, followed by "change configuration file" menu). Or alternatively, using yast, at "system administration" menu, followed by "configure network services", change to "isr.ist.utl.pt" the "adjust news from-address" panel.
RedHat users can use the linuxconf utility to change sendmail parameters in order to make sendmail present itself as isr.ist.utl.pt instead of something-local.
As last resort, sendmail.cf can be manually changed. The parameter is, as far as I know, called DM.

*** HOW TO INSTALL A LPD PRINTER IN WINDOWS ***

Launch "Add Printer" wizard
Choose "Local printer" (!!!)
Choose "Add port", then TCP/IP port
Enter the IP address, rather than the hostname (!!!)
Select "Custom network card" (!!!)
Select "LPD port"
And that's all, folks!

*** NOTES FOR WINDOWS USERS *** In case of difficulties on accessing SAMBA (shared directories/printers from linux) from a Windows machine, try to follow these instructions:

Windows 95/98 ============= 

Using the registry editor (regedit), create the registry setting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\VNETSUP Add a
new DWORD value: Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword Data: 0x01.

Windows NT ========== 

Using the registry editor (regedit), create the registry setting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Rdr\Parameters
Add a new DWORD value: Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword Data: 0x01

Windows 2000 ============ 

Using the registry editor (regedit), create the registry setting
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanWorkStation\Parameters
Add a new DWORD value: Value Name: EnablePlainTextPassword Data: 0x01

Once these registry changes have been made, reboot the Windows machine
and try to map a network drive on the Samba server again. It should
work as long as the Samba server is using plain text passwords.
