Yep,
It just means that you've configured fetchmail to deliver the mail via
SMTP and you have probably not the demon running for that service
(usually sendmail). You have two possibilities:
1) install sendmail
2) specify in the fetchmail conf file the MDA (Mail Delivery Agent)
that sould be used (usually procmail)
Good luck
Manu.

This won't help for your virtual terminals thing, but I just *have* to
get a plug in for my favourite Win95 telnet client. Check out QVT/Term
v4.2 at http://www.qpc.com
It's shareware, well worth the registration fee, and does pretty much
everything as well as being simplicity itself to set up. We have a site
licence here, and currently have about 60 PC's using it to access our
Unix machines.

Subject: Problem with modem and ethernet cards on Gateway Solo 9100
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 19:55:13 GMT
Hi,
I have the following problem with my Gateway 9100 running linux:
I have 3Com 3c589D ethernet card and 3Com Megahertz 56K cellular modem
card (3CXM556).
If I get out this modem card, ethernet working fine, but if I have both
cards in, linux doesn't see any ethernet cards at all and says something like:
"Or you don't have the right driver, or you don't have any card installed..."
Any ideas?
PS I didn't tried to work with this modem yet, so if anybody have any
suggestion about this modem, I would greatly appreciate them as well.
Thanks in advance,

No, you get a dynamically assigned IP which maps directly to either a
DNS name or none at all. Probably something like:
dialup-line-12.naxs.com, and each time you call you get a different
address. The PCs on your LAN use a particular subnet that is ignored on
the Internet and so does not interfere. Your LAN appears as one address
(dialup-line-12.naxs.com) to the outside world. So to answer your
question, your LAN domainname is (almost) irrelevant. I choose to use
bogus.com since that is not a real domain, and it won't get confused :)
BTW: you can tell what address you have by doing the following:
After connecting, do an "ifconfig ppp0" to see your IP address, then do
an "nslookup X.X.X.X" where the Xs are your IP address. Your name will
be returned if DNS is working.

Although, ultimately you will want to use your ISPs DNS service, you may
want to keep the named running on frodo because it will cache DNS
requests and so make net access that much faster. You will need to
specify frodo as your DNS in /etc/resolv.conf in Linux and in the
network control panel in Windows.

Are you starting it from inetd? Are you running tcpd wrappers? If so,
have a look at /etc/hosts.allow, and /etc/hosts.deny as these files tend
to block connections.

AFAIK, it doesn't matter - your machine doesn't get an entry on the
nameserver of your ISP when you connect, just a temporary IP address.
Any domain name you give yourself isn't replicated across the net, since
no nameserver delegates responsibility to you.
I do remember a site that used to provide a nameserver which would
delegate responsibility to you [ml.org ?] but I think they're defunct.
If you find one of these you can give yourself a 'proper' domain name.
I'd use a different domain myself, or none. AFAIK, you don't have to
have a domain name for your local network.

Yes it is. You may still need it for local resolution too, even if you
are using static hosts files. Anyone know ?

There are advantages to having a local nameserver - speed of response
for one thing
Once your local nameserver has cached information it doesn't need to go
down your slow modem with DNS queries.

Put the following in your /etc/syslog.conf as root to see some debugging
info for ftp accesses. (use TAB's not spaces)
*.* /dev/tty8
Then reboot or restart the logging daemons and when you try out ftp'ing
hit CTRL+ALT+F8 to see logging messages from your ftp daemon. This way
you can get a much more detailed idea of what's going wrong.
