SMTP is a protocol. It can't be 'working' as you imply. Sendmail
uses SMTP ( amongst others ) to transport mail. It would apear to
be working minimially. Or perhaps overminimially. It could be
open to anyone to use to launch spam, possibly at your expense
in time and money. It's a notorious pig to fully configure,
and is way over featured for the modern IP network environment.
But it's 'standard'.
So in short, SMTP is 'working'.

i want two people to administer via webmin-samba in windows 98 all others.
The other users will be added in webmin by those two people but then have to
use the command "smbpasswd -a userX" in linux. How can they do it without
logging in with "root" but with their names? SetUID doesn't work because I
MUST not set it for root (that's what linux says) - I tried 'chmod 4744
smbconf'. Is there a script I can use to encrypt ALL passwords AT ONCE in
linux? (to make it more comfortable for those two people?)

Sendmail is, the reference implementation for SMTP!!!! The real question
is does Exchange implement it (historically MS were late comers and
initially had very poor implementations).
What sendmail doesn't implement is POP3 or IMAP, as these are workstation
protocols for LANs. POP3 was adopted by early ISPs because SMTP
implementations are not well adapted to part time connections and
simple users would likely be using POP3 programs intended for LANs.
Unfortunately, users then started using, cheap, single user connections
for whole companies and rather than switching to an appropriate protocol
(UUCP over TCP for part time connections and SMTP for full time ones),
they started kludging POP3. (Demon have always offfered SMTP, even
on part time connections.)
(The problems with POP3 is that it doesn't define any mechanism to
communicate the envelope destination of a message. I think IMAP is
similar, but IMAP is very much a split client protocol, and intended for
workstation use when there is an always on connection to the server.)
(The problem with UUCP is that it is older than SMTP, therefore unacceptable
in a fashion driven market.)
MAPI is an API, not a protocol, i.e. it is only defined within a single
machine.
[ Was cross-posted to peer and immediate parent newsgroups; this is
misuse of cross-posting, more typical of Windows users; newsgroups
exist to differentiate sub-topics. Followups pruned. There should
not be both a comp.os.linux and comp.os.linux.misc as they would both
imply the same charter - questions that did not fit any other group,
so I suspect that comp.os.linux is a bogus group; dropping immediately.]

KLyX is a port to qt of LyX, I don't know if it is currently being developed,
it's not in KDE2 from what I can tell.It was a couple of versions behind LyX,
but still quite functional. The QT based gui is better looking and easier to

http://heroine.linuxave.net/bcast2000.html - video editing software (seems
to be a good package, but requires some kernel patches, and needs LOTS of
CPU).

I'm pretty sure it's not a physical ram or swap problem because because
the cpu and memory usage never falls below 50%. Most days, I've seen it
hover at around 98% idle. We even have a top.log and there has never
been any processor usage that has taken it anywhere near maximum
capacity.
Similarly, we are not using caching DNS. We are using external DNS and
we don't cache it inside the firewall. It's not really acting as a
server.
The company in question has a pretty good UPS and a well insulated
power supply already. Although it is entirely likely that there may be
power surges, having spent alot of time troubleshooting on site, I
think I can say that I don't believe it to be a power-supply problem in
any way, which is what makes it all the more frustrating that I can't
figure out why it's still freezing.
As to your last suggestion about it being an i840, I realised I should
have informed you, but it's an 810 chipset, so I don't think that is
the problem, either.

Yes and no. Linux can be secure or insecure, depending on what you are
doing, how it is configured, and who is behind the wheel. If you are
connected to the Inernet, you need to take precautions: don't run
services you don't really need, make sure you have the latest version of
the ones you are running, firewall as much stuff as you can.
This is really obnoxious stuff | The ad is much larger than your post.
