Hi,
This seems to be a hard problem (for newbies). I beneficied of helps of
some people but have stil some problems, particularly for communicating
two mail servers.
I have mail relay in DMZ and mail server in LAN.
[internet]-----[Routeur]-----[DMZ]----[Firewall]-----[LAN]
without setting a firewall all work fine. But when setting firewall, I
can only sent (outcoming messages), but no incoming ones can reach to
me. My relay does not stock messages, it forward them directly to the
local mail one.
Is a simular fierwall with only two cards is appropriated?
Can it communicate in the two senses (in/out)?
What I must doing in order to let it works in the two sense?
Thanks for any helps.

Probably. Partitioning does not change anything except the partition
table. You could have created new partitions identical to the old ones
and, assuming that Windows didn't scribble on the disk, your files would
have reappeared.

Ok. Forget the reformatting, this has nothing to do with that and that wont
help.
Clearly the setup the second time round is not the same as the first time !
See first if you can connect to your sendmail process locally, try:
telnet localhost 25
You should see a greeting line, if you do, then sendmail is there waiting
for connections. (quit will get you out of it). If you dont get a
connection then sendmail is probably not running.
I am only vaguely familiar with Redhat, I tried using it but frankly found
it a pain for various OT reasons. I recall that linuxconf tries to help
with the setup, so you could try carefully going through that.
Can you receive local mail ?
... I believ there may be example .mc files in the sendmail directory. It
is worth your while learning how sendmail can be configured. Unless you are
a masochist you definitely do not want to get involved with the sendmail
config file directly, and you shouldnt need to (the definitive reference
book on sendmail is 1100 pages long). Read up on this a bit.
Good luck
Cliff

Here is a script which does that. It takes either one or
optionally two arguments. The first argument is manditory, and
is the user name whose files will be listed. The second arg is
the directory to look at, and if not given will default to the
current directory. As written, the "-mtime -60" option to
"find" means it will list all files that have been changed in
the past 60 days. It does not list directories.
Output is formatted as:
2000/12/05 07:33:36 10k ./foo
#!/bin/sh
if [ -z $1 ]; then
echo "usage: $0 uname [ directory ]"
exit 1
fi
find $2 -user $1 \
\! -type d -mtime -60 \
-printf "%TY/%Tm/%Td %TH:%TM:%TS %5kk %h/%f\n" |
sort
#end of script

Try the MicroEmacs available from
http://www.jasspa.com
This is a varient of MicroEmacs. Has a native X-Windows
interface, integral speller, hilighting etc. I suggest
that you take the "alpha" release on the site. This runs
fine despite being marked as alpha. Should just build
and run on Linux. Will also build an run on windows
using MS-DEV or the free borland compiler.

Subject: Creating a Rescue Diskette for RH 6.2
Date: Thu, 07 Dec 2000 16:32:35 -0800
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Is it possible to create a rescue diskette for RH 6.2? It appears that I cannot get my
machine to
boot up from the RH 6.2 CD-ROM. The boot diskette supplied seems to want to install
the software
again when I try to use 'linux rescue' and in any case fails when I try to access the
CD-ROM. It's
an old device, AHA-1520 Adaptek. It seems like there ought to be a supplied diskette
that does not
try to re-install.

You can create diskette that will boot onto your system by:
mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0 2.2.12
(This assumes your floppy diskette is in /dev/fd0 and your kernel version is 2.2.12.
Change as
appropriate.)

Date: Fri, 08 Dec 2000 01:59:50 GMT
Hi all,
I'm attempting to build DOSEMU 1.0.1 on a stock Red Hat 7 system. I have
to build a custom patched version of DOSEMU so that I can play old DOS
games with working sound. However, when I try to run the configuration
script, I get the following message:
checking for glibc..../default-configure: min)
2 > 1 : syntax error in expression (error token is ")
2 > 1 ")
After the configuration is finished, I'm unable to build DOSEMU because
of this hiccup.
Has anyone else attempted to build DOSEMU on Red Hat 7?
Thanks!

Ha, Dude, what you have stated is a very scary scenario, if true , it may
mean a LinuX ( Cyber-Punk ) Hack Attack, even though we do use LinuX OS and
OOP ( RH, CAl, KDE, Gnome ) also UNIX ( 3-D HOLIX ) I believe this could be
a time to reconsider LinuX as being a "Safe Harbor" from such
harmful destructive conditions.
So you might try our way, an un-hackable UNIX ( 3-D~HOLIX ) developed from
a UNIX/LinuX derivative, designed from a Open GL SGI platform, based on a
three dimensional Euclidian AI netmapping based on Holographic processing,
i.e. a HOLO~Net Map.

Pictures seem ok.... but the text is terrrible. That goes for

unreadable.
I notice when I startx it says monitor not found.
Or I may just need to change the system font. How do you do that ???
The font problem is only under x-windows.
Any suggestions ?????
