[woody] sendmail bug?
Hi all, I have installed Debian GNU/Linux 3.0r0 (woody). I have updated it from security and ftp.debian.org using apt-get. I have found troubles installing sendmail 8.12.3-4 I execute sendmailconfig and follow its steps. # sendmailconfig ... # /etc/init.d/sendmail start ... sendmail has not been configured, not started. To configure sendmail, type sendmailconfig. # sendmailconfig Configure ... with the existing /etc/mail/sendmail.conf? [Y] y /usr/sbin/sendmailconfig: /usr/sbin/update-conf: No such file or directory Correct /etc/mail/sendmail.conf before continuing. # ls -l /etc/mail/ Does not show any sendmail.conf file!. Is there a sendmail bug on woody yet?. Regards, Davi Leal

To make a network between 2 sites in a MAN or WAN the posibilities would be: - cabling (leased lines, fiber optic) - air waves (microwaves, ax25, packet...) - any provider providing the link via cabling or airwaves or satelite Wavelan/Orinoco cards can make a link about 15km. Which tecnologies are available to make a link of ~200 kilometers with speed at least 64kbps? Where can I find more info about this class of networks? Im looking for the tecnology not to get the service. If some wireless solution exists, it's definetly in a regulated spectrum area and/or power level. And you probably don't want to have to handle administrative regulatory issues (if it is at all possible to get a license in your country). Furthermore, this kind of equipment is very expensive, requires a nice installation place (like a cell tower, for instance), and is pretty tricky to set up. If I were you, I'd order a DS0 from the telco. Or use another technology, depending on your requirements (permanent link ? heavy traffic ?), and technical possibilities (VPN, Frame relay, X25, ISDN...) -- Nicolas Bougues Axialys Interactive

SpamAssassin PHP-MySQL User Interface Problems
I recently installed the SpamAssassin php-sa-mysql module to allow clients access to their userprefs options. It authenticates against shadow passwords using validate from libapache-mod-auth-shadow. The login script validates the username and password then redirects the browser to the phpsa.php page. I added the user name spamby to MySQL via webmin and set this in config.inc.php as per the readme file. I confirmed the configured host, user and password by inserting an echo statement in the phpsa file. The problem is that I get the below error messages and can't figure out why it is trying to connect as root. Warning: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO) in /var/www/phpsa/phpsa.php on line 16 Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Access denied for user: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (Using password: NO) in /var/www/phpsa/phpsa.php on line 16 Could not connect

We currently do this with 40 GB IDE drives, using Linux software raid1 and COLD swapping. (The server gets shut down twice a week). There are three drives. One permantly mounted, one in a removable drive bay in the server and one at home. Once a week I shut down the server and take the removeable drive out. I boot the server with one drive and take the removeable one home. Next day I bring the other drive back, shut the server down again and plug it in. Boot the server and start the raid started manually. We have live raid in the office and an offsite backup. Simple cheap and effective. (Note the three drives are never at the same place at the same time.) Regards Ian - Ian Forbes ZSD http://www.zsd.co.za Office: +27 21 683-1388 Fax: +27 21 674-1106 Snail Mail: P.O.

Re: SpamAssassin PHP-MySQL User Interface Problems
Did you reload apache and mysql? Maybe it needs to re-read the conf files... Just a thought.. I don't use the above config :) --- Sonny At 10:51 AM 8/28/02 -0400, Gene Grimm wrote: I recently installed the SpamAssassin php-sa-mysql module to allow clients access to their userprefs options.

Sounds strange? Well never got the change to test it myself but it could work. Benefits: - Cheaper: RAID Controller (300¤) + Drive Bay (200¤) + 4 drives (100¤ pro 60GB) are about 900¤. This is more than competable with DAT/DDS3 and even more with DLT tape drives. - Faster and easier when restoring. Obviously, just mount it. - More capacity per medium. Splitting up across several media makes things complicated. Any comments? bye, -christian- We use a (cold) removable IDE Drive for Backups of our Servers for some months now and are very happy with it. Setup is as follows: 2 removable 120GB IDE-Drives, one build in a normal Office PC (+ extra network cards), one at home. Drives are changed every week. The PC boots every day after office hours, rsyncs all the servers (70GB atm) and shuts itself down again. Each server has its own partition on the removeable drive which is bootable. So if one of the servers is going down, we just have to move the PC near it, plug it in and boot it. Max downtime 10 mins. Setup was fairly easy: Just a shell script to call rsync with a per server exclude-list of hardware-dependant config files, fstab etc. The main drawbacks are: - If a server goes down we loose one PC in the Office (not an issue, as there always some people on the road) - Syncronisation runs only once a day, so we will have to recover the changed files of the day by hand. - You have to think of the excluded config files when changing config on the servers. In addition we use tape backups for important stuff. Next thing i want to try is to use a dedicated maschine and raid over network block devices instead of rsync. Has anyone experience with that (speed, reliability)? Greetings, Ramin
Qpopper
Hello all. I'm new to Debian .. Switched over from Slackware after years of doing things the manual way figured I would try this for a while :) Anyways... I installed qpopper on my system using dselect.. Install went flawless but when you try to pop mail from the server the connection would just sit there.. I since switched to using solid-pop and I don't like that at all.. Getting tons of complaints about dup mails... If anyone has any ideas as to why qpopper wouldn't auth I'm all ears because I really would like to get back to using it. Just another note.. I compiled a version with my own configure settings like I would on Slackware.. that did the same thing.. I even tried taking the tcpd out of inetd.conf to make sure it wasn't an allow problem.. Only thing I haven't looked at is the pam stuff.. I not at all familiar with pam because Slackware never had it.. I will be reading up on that incase it might be messing with things.. Thanks for any pointers... --- Sonny
