Subject: Redhat-6.2+sendmai-8.101.1+mailhub?
Date: 10 Apr 2001 22:29:20 -0500
Hello,
I am fishing for help. System Redhat-6.2, sendmail-8.10.1, a local
LAN (192.168.1).
DNS running on net07 (A records file shown below). An MX
record for mail-hub (net08) that accepts mail for net06/7/8 is also
shown.
Sendmail configured on mail-hub using mailhub.mc. Net07 configured
as null client using null-client.mc. Mail sent from net07 (local
or remote user) does end up on net08, so far so good. Imapd (4,74?)
also running on net08 for remote access to mail.
An attenpt to get mail from net08 using
fetchmail -p IMAP -u user net08
(results in SMTP error, as fetchmail wants to deliver to smtp at port
25..)
if one tries
fetchmail -p IMAP -u user -mda /usr/bin/procmail net08
(mail is retireived but the format is not compatible with mail/pine
etc.. bad format error)
Any insight will be appreciated.

I think that Easy CD Creator (MS Windows program) uses the extension
of .cif for disk images that it will burn to disk. I have no idea
if they are the same as .iso images or not. I doubt it though, but
I am not sure.

I believe the proper solution is to have a path statement for samba
to copy the printer file to. For example, in the following partial
example:
[netepson]
comment = Epson Printer
path = /var/spool/samba
The above directory, I believe needs to have permissions of 777.
This is the directory that a Windows machine (in this example)
would send (or copy) the printer file to. Then the Linux (or
other Unix systems) print system would then take over and send
the file to the printer via the print system.
I think the problem the original poster has is that he is sending
the printer file from a connected MS Windows machine directly to
the lpr spool directory which I don't think you are suppose to do.

Geez, sorry you're having such a rough time. I've been using the nvidia
drivers since the new kernel was released about the beginning of the year.
(Couldn't previously due to a lack of agpgart support for my mobo).
Presently I have 7.2, XFree86-4.0.3-3, and nvidia-0.9-769. (Asus
V7700-GeForce2GTS). I just untarred, typed make, ran the nv_check.sh
script and deleted the files it said to rename. Is that nv_check.sh script
still available on nvidia's site? It's only about 10kb. If you guys want
it, email me and I'll send it to you. (Just change excitedotcom to
bellsouthdotnet.) It really helps because the biggest problem is the
conflicting gl libraries and it ids them.

Hi all,
The server is powered by SCO OpenServer 5.0.5 and the mail server
is the sendmail coming with OS (8.8.8.) My customer wanted to monitor
all
their employees' email. I set up the mail server which shows the
destination and the origins of the email traffics.
The customer is still not satified and wanted to see the contents
(it is not illegal in Hong Kong.) We thought it is a great chance to
make
big bucks with a working commercial solution :-). Please let me know
which
companies have such a product ....
Thanks a lot!!

Hello,
I need some help from someone who knows all about re-building kernels.
I am running Mandrake 7.2. I need to re-build my kernel WITHOUT SMP
support to help fix a problem.
However, I am not very good at Linux and I'm having a VERY hard time
with this.
What I am looking for is someone willing to help me. I can set up an
account so you can telnet into my Linux box and help me re-compile my
kernel without SMP support.
Anyone interested please send me some e-mail. I have been stuck with
this problem for almost 2 months.......
Thank you,
Arthur

Hi,
I've managed to get an Archive 2150L and its SC402 controller card working
(I *think*) by recompiling the kernal. It shows up with an IRQ (5), I/O

I've managed to do a retension and rewind - so something somewhere must be

I haven't had to do much with configuring hardware at this detail, but I've
followed everything of the few instructions I've been able to find on the

If you really do want to do this, you can actually have sendmail
log everything. It logs both sides and the logs will get BIG!!!
and will have a short text field before each line.
On the abreviated man page [on line not the HUGE manual] I see
a -X option to be followed by a logfile name. I am not positive
this is the flag.
I have done it before just to see what it does and if you do any
mail at all you will really need a big disk.

Get a network card and a network based DSL modem. It should be similar to
connecting to network based cable
modem. The only hitch is if your DSL ISP uses PPPoE which should be
similar to seeing PPP on dial up.

I use VMWare now, but I am interested in hearing about experiences with
Plex86 and User Mode Linux. I run linux under the x86 platform so that
is really the only platform I'm concerned with right now.
How do these perform? Are they stable? Do they support networking?
What experiences have people had with them in a development environment?
How do they compare to VMWare?

It doesn't only appear so, it is so.
All you have wrong is a bad symlink.

Hi,
*Sometimes* (once in a while) my networking stops working so that I can't
ping the gateway. "ifconfig" doesn't report any changes and pinging myself
works. Luckily, upon reboot, everything goes back to normal.
I'm wondering what the problem is and how I can resolve it. Could it be
that my machine somehow acquires incorrect ethernet address for the gateway
and can't recover from it without being rebooted?
