Hi AllYou can do something similar with the box by setting up either "/bin/false" as their shell
I am managing a mail server (midterm newbie). Server is an Intel Brownsville m/board, 256K Ram. Clients all using O/Express to get mail of POP server.
Previous version of Redhat 5.2 and 7.0; had a special user group "popuser".
When running userconf I could create my users as "mail only" accounts.
when adding accounts I could select this group as there default group.
Mail "was delivered to there folders" wich they could access from their
Win98 w/stations using
outlook express.
or setting "/bin/rbash" (RESTRICTED shell) and configuring their environment with just
the ability to change their password.
The popuser group is'nt present in Linux 8.0 ??By default on RedHat Linux 8.0 Sendmail only listens on 127.0.0.1
I created a popuser group, and added my users to this group as there default group.
My users are not receiving mail??. Postmaster(me) is getting error reports :
MAIL UNDELIVERABLE ... reason 553 5.3.5 system config error.
Try running "netstat -nap | grep LISTEN | grep 25" and see if there is a line in there for sendmail
on either 0.0.0.0 or your LAN NIC address, if not edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and then follow
the instructions in the comments for both enabling sendmail on the LAN NIC and using m4 to
convert your sendmail.mc into a sendmail.cf
Mail is leaving server. Not being recieved by my users.RedHat had problems today because of their release of the RedHat 9 iso's and their
I am finding the transition from RedHat 5.2 and Redhat 7.0 to version 8.0 extremely frustrating. ...up2date spends +- hour getting RPMS, and then bombs out with bad CRC, (64k leased diginet line connection).
bandwidth was jammed. You might have better luck tomorrow. In my experience
using up2date is a breeze, and a joy.
...IPOP3 service as registered with XINETD is "off" by default.(Thought ITry "neat" instead. I think it is much better.
had solved my prob. when I found this one.
....The command line network config tools, well where are they. I have
edited (/etc/network) to set
up address details. (From within XWindows the network config is easy).
What happened to "netconf"
Also, take a look at IMAP. You might like that better than POP.
