Re: Sendmail Masquerading Question
I do the same as you. But, I use mutt, which puts on the proper world accessible address (hammershome.com) instead of my private network name jhammer.org (which also exists on the net but its not mine.) All my mail is composed and sent on my box which runs sendmail and also serves as the firewall. Do you think mine works because by serendipity jhammer.org exists in the real world, too?

Sendmail Masquerading Question
OK, Followed Doug's SxS step and produced in about an hour or less, a fully functioning sendmail. All but the tweaking...which has turned out to be far less satisfying. >From mail clients on other hosts on my home network, email composed in say netscape goes out with the From values set (in netscape) staying as is, and all seems to be working OK. Whenever I send mail from the sendmail machine, which is behind a firewall w/ port forwarding, the address is always [EMAIL PROTECTED] which only exists in my little network...although I have the marchak.ca domain hosted outside, the only official/external NS records are www.marchak.ca and marchak.ca. So, domain masquerading sounded like what I was looking for. I have a domain through dyndns.org, which I put in /etc/mail/local-host-names and I can accept mail for marchak.homeip.net...cool. What I wanted to do was have mail sent from [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which is what it would be when I am logged in locally to the box with sendmail running) to be changed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have a imaps server running and I want to have all my mail bounced to sent to marchak.homeip.net so I can do away with outside web mail and just run my services myself...so I have no mailbox size limits except the ones I put on myself...and because I can. But no matter what combination of DM / CM / CG (shooting wildly at then end) I cannot prevent it from mailing out [EMAIL PROTECTED] when I send from the sendmail box. Which of course bounces as domain doesn't exist.

I don´t know if it's some package i have to install, or they just dont come in any of the three cd's.

Just need source file (headers maybe) to compile the modules for install a PC-TEL winmodem my uncle has.

Re: Printing question
This sort of sounds like a memory problem. Knowing nothing, I would venture that there may be a misunderstanding between your printer and your server over how much memory is available on the printer (making most of this up.) Also, what does top show during this long printing job? Can you just dump a postscript job to this printer? Or, can you first filter the job into a file, watching how long it takes, and then just cat the file to the printer?

Okay, now I understand. -I /some/dir should place specified headers at the front of the list; that is, the standard headers should be searched *after* directories specified with -I. However, you have to use -I- *before* -I because -I only looks for #include "foo.h", not for #include . Bear in mind that -I directories are scanned left to right. You might also find it useful to use the -nostdinc option, which turns off searching the standard system directories for include files. The downside to this should be clear, though. Finally, use the -H option to tell GCC to print the names of the header files it is using. For more infomation, have a look at the "Preprocessor Options" and the"Directory Options" nodes of the GCC info file.

Comcast question: dynamic ip and hostname
I changed over to a dynamic ip from a static ip number with comcast recently. I got an ip number and ran nslookup against it to see what my new host name was, and it was: pcp361333pcs-udp079123uds.towson01.md.comcast.net Now, when I run nslookup against my ip number, which hasn't changed, I get: tow33dhcp1252.towson01.md.comcast.net I called comcast tech support but they were clueless about this. Or, better put, I was unable to make them appreciate my concerns. My major concern is to maintain my current ip number, which is reachable from anywhere on the internet as hammershome.com. SO, any comcast users here? Have you tried to reboot your machine to see if you maintain the same ip number. Have you tried to use the new hostname with the -h parameter with dhcpcd? Also, I would like to know if the new name is resolvable on the internet, so, would someone, NOT on the comcast network, kindly ping that name (tow33dhcp1252.towson01.md.comcast.net) and see if you get back: 68.33.4.228 ?

Re: Developer question
Rick, I've done lots of porting sporadically over the years and for the most part, they should port. Just be careful not to use any Linux specific features in your makefile and you should be all set. And even if your code was X window specific, X is on available on all *nix* platforms (provided that it's installed). BTW, what programming language are you using? C or C++ ? Let me know if you need any more help. Be glad to! > List > > I am doing a programming project for a college class. My system and the > development system are both Linux.

ext3 on root partition question
Hi all, I have converted my all my filesystems to ext3. I am running SuSE 7.3. But I am concerned that my root partition did not get converted. Last night I had a power outage and on reboot, fschk was run on my root partition. The boot screen showed the following message: /dev/hda2 not cleanly unmounted, check forced Now all the other partitions looked like they were using the journal files because for each partition, I saw a message stating (something to the effect) that the journal file was being checked. Once the system was booted, when I do a 'ps | grep jour' I see only 4 entries and would expect 5 for my 5 partitions: root50 1 0 06:44 ?00:00:00 [kjournald] root51 1 0 06:44 ?00:00:00 [kjournald] root52 1 0 06:44 ?00:00:00 [kjournald] root53 1 0 06:44 ?00:00:00 [kjournald] Below is my fstab: /dev/hda2 / ext3defaults 1 1 /dev/hdb5 /usrext3defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb1 /usr/srcext3defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb6 /optext3defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb7 /home ext3defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb2 swapswappri=42 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder autoro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdromautoro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/fd0/media/floppy autonoauto,user,sync 0 0 devpts /dev/ptsdevpts defaults 0 0 proc/proc procdefaults 0 0 usbdevfs/proc/bus/usb usbdevfsdefaults,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 has a test version of SuSE7.3 which I can boot into.

When I try and rerun tunejfs on /dev/hda2 I get the following message: tune2fs 1.24a (02-Sep-2001) The filesystem already has a journal. So it should be ext3, right?

Re: Sendmail question
Thanks to the people who responded for their ideas. Where I think we will go with this is indeed using tools for virtual domains. In particular, if we can be sure doing so will leave mail to valid addresses untouched, making an entry to virtusertable sounds like the approach that will have least impact. I may do a test system to verify.

True, but it means about three years worth of former employees, some of whom we've probably forgotten.

Is there a straightforward way to have e-mail sent to nonexistent addresses forwarded to root or another account? We would like to be able to collect these to possibly forward to the users.

I assume you used map! to remap the ; key and the F2 key. You can change this
behavior (macros calling other macros) by setting noremap:
:set noremap
If you want remap set, just unset it and reset it in the macro. Try this:
map! ^[:set noremap^Ma;^[:set remap^Ma
map! ; ^[
The represents pressing the F2 key, ^[ means ctrl-vESC, and ^M means
ctrl-vctrl-m. If you reverse the order of the map! commands, you'll have to
use ctrl-v; rather than ; in the top one.
I tested this in gvim 5.8, but I got the idea from a paper on vi so it should
work for you. The paper ("Vi Macros, Abbreviations, and Buffers" by Fred Buck)

vi question: mapping a key to esc in insert mode
I use vi. The biggest nuisance I have with it is constantly having to hit the esc button to exit the insert mode. I have remapped my ; key to do this. But, now I have to type cntrl-v59 to insert a semicolon into my document. I have tried to map F2 to insert a ; but that is not possible. Hitting the F2 key just results in an esc command being sent, not a ; symbol. I have tried to define the F2 mapping with cntrl-v59, and that works, but the F2 key then sends a ; which results in the esc function being activated. So, I guess my problem is, how do you send an ascii code to vi and prevent it from being interpreted if it has been remapped? I can get around this by making up a file which contains the ; symbol, and reading that file into my document with a macro, but that seems really lame.

The biggest problem isn't thepinouts of either of these, as all the ps2 pinouts are the same, the problem is that ps2 and usb both have a +5V and ground available capable of supplying more current than any serial bus can ever hope to. Most devices built for usb require that extra zap and even if you were to custum build an adapter that would allow you to connect that usb device to a seriaal port I doubt that it would ever operate properly.

I think you are looking at some flags in /etc/fstab. These are NOT the major and Minor numbers. These are the 'dump' and 'fsck-order' numbers.
