Has anyone configured the ipmail.lrp package? Most of the list archives
where about the release of ipmail. I am using kp's Dachstein
1.0.2.1 glibc-2.1.3 CD release.
1.) I added both ifconfig.lrp and ipmail.lrp in the order listed to the
lrpkg.cfg file on the floppy. Hence, I am booting from the CD with
the configuration saved on the floppy.
2.) I edited /usr/sbin/ipmail from lrcfg.
Both MAILTO and MAILFROM where set.
3.) Performed a full backup of ipmail package.
4.) Followed instructions in ipmail to edit /etc/lrp.conf.
Uncommented and set both lrp_MAIL_SERVER and lrp_MAIL_ADMIN.
5.) Performed a full backup on etc package to capture lrp.conf changes.
6.) Rebooted.
I started to receive error messages that I have not seen on a DCD
release. I saw
"Aborting due to timeout"
" Killing child processes: xxxx yyyy"
xxxx: Terminated
yyyy: Terminated
I edited /usr/sbin/ipmail script and put some echos in the while loop.
I set the time down to 5 seconds. I started the script and made sure no
other version were running. The script had process 6017. I received
two of the "Aborting..." messages above. The terminated processes were
6035, 6038, 6164, and 6167 i.e. not the original process. Next I saw
the script started looping every five seconds while showing my echos. (I
caused it to loop just to see if ipmail was working.)
The desire is to email a dynamic IP from DCD to another system. The
target system would pick up the email at an ISP. A script on the target
system would then SCP backups to the originating DCD system. The DCD
system would port forward to a server with a large hard drive on a DMZ.
I know I have to be missing something. I don't see where I would put an
SMTP user and password for the ISP in the configuration files. I would
think that ipmail would have to use the SMTP user and password of the
cable modem user to email the dynamically assigned IP address. More
importantly, is what I am trying to do out of the question?
