Proxi.
Tengo que armar un servidor proxi. En donde trabajo tienen la licencia del Windows NT pero yo queria de probar de instalarlo con Debian yo tengo la Debian 2.1 Slink. La cuestion es que tengo que poder instalarlo y dejarlo funcionando sin posibilidad de hacer muchas pruebas. Paso a explicar la configuracion donde lo tengo que armar. Hay un RAS 3Com el cual se conecta por medio de red al servidor proxi que tengo que instalar, este servidor se conecta por red a un servidor web interno que funciona con windows NT (quiero decir que no esta conectado a toda la web sino que es para usar una pagina interna). La forma de funcionamiento es la siguiente la gente llama, el servidor proxi los tiene que autenticar con contrasea y les tiene que asignar una direccion IP y luego los conecta con el servidor web (donde solo esta esa pagina WEB). Creo que es una buena oportunidad para mostrar que debian puede competir con software comercial. Yo voy a tratar de recabar toda la informacion posible, asi que el que quiera y me pueda decir donde puedo encontrar informacion (en castellano si es posible) o me pueda guiar estare agradecido. Muchas gracias a todos los de la lista.

Necesito consejo... Hola Este mes de febrero que empieza ya por fin probalemente me compre el K7, puede que sea el 600, o ... un 600 :) en cualquier caso tengo dos placas a elegir, me han dicho entre una PC-Partner y una Gigabyte, la primera es considerablemente más barata que la segunda que me ofrecen, en cualquier caso me gustaría saber si realmente me puedo fiar de estas dos placas o si alguno de vosotros sabe de alguna mejor. ¿En cuanto a tarjeta gráfica? ¿Cuál me aconsejais? De vez en cuando juego... Las pruebas del K7 las hizo Ramiro, el del laboratorio de Industriales o algo así O:). Yo tengo un K7-500 en casa con kernel 2.2.5 y sólo puedo decirte que va como la seda (y como una moto :) ). Eso sí, no he activado la opción MTRR (Memory Type Range Registers), porque dicen que da problemas, hasta el kernel 2.2.14 que creo que lo han arreglado (dicen que el kernel 2.4 vendrá con cositas para el athlon :) ). La placa que tengo yo es una Asus K7M, con tarjeta de sonido incorporada (que no funciona bajo linux :( ), por lo que le tuve que poner una SB 128 PCI y funciona bien. La placa K7M (debido al athlon) *necesita* fuentes de 250W o más (sobre todo si encima le metes una NV10 o GForce, entonces necesitas aún más potencia). Respecto a la tarjeta gráfica tengo una TNT2 de 32MB que me costó 16K pelas y que es una maravilla. Acelera el OpenGL que no veas (yo programo con OpenGL) y encima los de nVidia han sacado un glx para Linux (el servidor X va la mar de bien) y ahora se han comprometido a desarrollar un glx optimizado para linux que dicen que irá tan rápido como el de windows (y te aseguro que la TNT2 con opengl en windows vuela). Aún no he probado la TNT2 con OpenGL en linux, pero algún día :) Tuve algún problema de DIMMs de memoria (tengo dos de 128MB), y tuve que cambiar uno porque el athlon se bloqueaba con ese DIMM y eso que en un pIII ese DIMM funcionaba perfectamente (¿cosas del FSB? :-?). Además al kernel le tienes que decir que te use toda la memoria con el párametro MEM=256MB, porque si no sólo te pilla 64MB. Yo no he hecho ninguna prueba de rendimiento, pero con 256MB de RAM, puedes imaginarte a la velocidad que va el php+postgres+apache :) (sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que vengo de un mmx 166 con 64MB). Ah! sí: El kernel 2.2.5 se compila en tres-cuatro minutos de reloj (módulos incluídos). Una cosa curiosa es que si miras el top, linux siempre pilla toda la memoria física disponible menos 10MB o así, hagas lo que hagas :-m (claro que con 256MB la swap no la toca ni para compilar el kernel). Luego tuve algún problemilla con la caja, que la placa chocaba con las bahías del CD-ROM, pero creo que era problema de la caja que me vendieron que no debía ser muy ATX (porque la K7M sí que es ATX). Y con la caja que tengo ahora, me sucede que el botón de power se comporta de una manera muy extraña: cuando enciendes el ordenador, se encienden los discos, los ventiladores y tal, pero no se enciende el ordenador y la pantalla permanece como sin señal y no es hasta que le das al reset cuando se enciende todo ¿es esto normal? :-? En bulma (http://bulma.lug.net) tienes algún enlace a información sobre athlon. Para comparativas de placas, athlon vs. pentium y demás, mira también www.arstechnica.com y www.tomshardware.com.

Wow maxo, has contado tantas cosas que no se por donde empezar, bueno, ahí voy... Primero, veo que exclamas con lo del K7-600, ¿es muxo mejor o excalamas de forma irónica? :P A mí me lo venden bien de precio, aunque no se si merece la pena la diferencia del 500 al 600... Antes de nada más darte las gracias por las referencias para tarjeta gráfica que me has dado, se agradece y mucho :) Sobre lo que comentas de la memoria que siempre te la coge toda menos 10 MB's pues, creo que Linux hace eso tengas la memoria que tengas, coge toda la que puede y usa una gran parte como caché, no es que requiera grandes cantidades de memoria lo que pasa es que así agiliza las operaciones de memoria que tenga que realizar más a menudo (aunque no soy experto en el tema probablemente te puedan indicar mejor y de forma más veraz que yo), en el top al menos pone eso, un apartado que creo recordar lo llama cached. Sobre la tarjeta gráfica yo estaba pensando en comprar una voodoo3, aunque según veo en la web de 3dfx las voodoo 4 y 5 están a punto de caramelo, ¿ cuales son mejores o dan mejores resultados?

Instalar Debian sobre SCSi -- No hay manera
Hola! Estoy intentando instalar la Debian Citius 2.1 sobre un nuevo ordenador y resulta que no hay manera. El sistema en cuestion es un 48666 al quese le ha puesto una Adaptec 2842 Vesa Local Bus. Como no se puede arrancar desde el CD (si desde el HD), haco un disco de rescate con la imagen resc1440.bin que aparece en el CD1. Una vez hecho esto, arranco el sistema con el susodicho disquette dentro. Miro en las opciones de arranque del disquete y leo que para esta controladora debería de poner aic7xxx=no_reset Lo hago y que si flores, me dice que falta el modulo aiz7xxx=.norest Por su puesto, si le doy directaemnte a enter, no puedo hacer nada ya que el programa de intalación ni siquiera reconoce el disco duro. Alguna idea? He instalado SUSE (tiene para crear un disco de rescate propio para la controladora) y ni un problema, pero Debian, que es la uqe quiero poner no veas Un saludo!

IMP Problems, Please!
I'm having some troubles in setting a webmail server. Almost everything is working fine except for Creating new folders in HOME directory as well as for saving sent messages. Could somebody help me in solving this, please? Things I can do at the moment are: - sending email works fine; - moving messages to and from already existing folders works fine; - including contacts into database works after fixing the table names since it seems that mysql doesn't like underscore '_' in table names (imp_prefs and imp_addr). - saving preferences, like signature and language it's ok. The HOME directories have permissions set to 2771 (rwxrws--x). ONLY creating new folders and saving sent messages didn't work. Am I the only who's having problems with this? Nobody uses IMP/HORDE or everybody are having correct behavior? PLEASE, if you are listening, help me Ivan!

startx hell
startx won't run. It gives me: System: '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/xkbcomp -w 1 -R/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb -xkm -m us -em1 The XKEBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: -emp ? -em1 Errors from xkbcomp are not fatal to the X server keymap/xfree86 compiled/xfree86.xkm' Figuring that this is because I have no keymap installed, I searched the Debian package system for a keymap thingy. I found console-tools. However, when I do apt-get install console-tools I get a character-mode (ncurses?) display labelled Debian Configuration and then Configuring Console-data, which is asking me what keyboard layout I want (qwerty, azerty, etc). However, this script does *nothing*. No keystroke has any effect except for Ctrl-C. So: how do I get startx to happen? TIA

Why? Sounds like mail masq'ing. is it even possible for mail to work in such a setup or am i wasting my time? Depends on what you are trying to do. Outgoing mail should be easy, incoming mail wouldn't make sense unless you have a domain name (of some sort). I got the gateway machine to send mail, but my fake domain still shows up in various places, such as the message ID and a second From line.

I used: canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical to map root to my normal email (in case my box dies, it might have left a clue there). root [EMAIL PROTECTED] and sender_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical_sender to map a user without a real email adderss to my email address user [EMAIL PROTECTED] and finally: recipient_canonical_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/canonical_receiver to have mail to the user without email be delivered locally if send from my box. should I just get a static IP and a real domain name or is there some way to make this work that is not too ugly? There's no way around specifying your local acconuts as you have to tell your mta that it's only authorative for a set of accounts. You could automative things using something like make with a dependency on your /etc/passwd and some script to filter out the accounts that you don't care about. (the way i got mail to work partially, was to disable dns lookups in postfix, which allows mail to get delivered within the fake network, and setting myorigin to alaska.net on the gateway Ok. and setting the vitual table to redirect root and such to localhost but other machines cannot send mail still. and the gateway i think does not send correct mail since it has all this fake crap in it...)

Sendmail and Log files.
I am wanting to know what ip address a email was sent from using a POP3 account. Currently using sendmail, and im wondering in debian where there are some logs that would show me this type of info.

Maybe the other thing to look for would be a log showing what the Sendmail connected to...just some thoughts, would be nice to know.
menu entries always sorted
I've just discovered the menu package. Neato. Don't have to do my own additions all the time anymore. One question though: is it possible to specify the positioning of certain menu entries? I'd like to add an entry to the top level menu where I would have my most often used programs, scripts, etc, and I would like this to be the at the very top. Likewise, I would like to reposition the WindowManagers entry to be the very last one (it's annoying having to dig through the menus to get to the Exit entry). Is this doable? I'm using version 2.1.5-3 of menu, and WindowMaker. One other thing. Is the menu optimization code sufficiently stable? It runs fine for me as superuser, but when run as a normal user it dumps all the Game menu entries into the top-level menu (which then has about 100 entries).

Lilo hdb
Hi, Like most of you, I like playing with opeating systems. I am having difficulty using lilo to boot Win2K from hdb. Here's my lilo.conf file. boot=/dev/hda compact vga=extended timeout=200 prompt image=/vmlinuz label=Linux alias=L read-only other=/dev/hda1 label=Win98 alias=W table=/dev/hda other=/dev/hdb1 label=Win2K table=/dev/hdb Both the linux image and the Win98 partition have no problems, but then they both exist on hda. Right now I can boot my machine, input 'win2k' at the LILO prompt, I get the message 'Loading Win2k' and then the system freezes, either immediately or after a blank screen. The hdb1 partition is active. Am I missing something in my lilo.conf? Is it even possible to use lilo to boot an OS from other than the first disk? If I change 'other=/dev/hdb1' to the MBR on hdb, i.e 'other=/dev/hdb' I get a 'Partition entry not found error.' I don't think that is the right direction, but I figured that I should try it. I know that Win2K installed something to the MBR of hdb because if I swap hdb and hda, Win2k boots just fine. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jason
Re: Attention: imapd gpoing back to $HOME as mailbox root
Btw, the volume on debian-user is to high for me to read on a regular basis so you should cc me if you want to get a quick(er) answer. On Mon, 24 Jan 2000, Joe Emenaker wrote: Argh! Okay. Does anybody want to suggest any other imap daemons that allow me to set the mailroot to $HOME/mail where it's supposed to be? You can always recompile the package to do it the way you want to. That is one of the benefits of open source after all. It's a one line change and I provide instructions. Problem now is that, when you refresh your folder list, you see all of your files in your home directory. Many of these differ substantially from the normal inbox format. I wouldn't be surprised to see a new slew of complaints from sysadmins because all of their users are having trouble opening their core folder. :) Which client are you using? Everyone I use (MS outlook, Netscape, Pine) let's you set this on the client-side. All my folders are in $HOME/mail. I don't see any extraneous junk. A sysadmin as opposed to some random shmoe with the root password should diligently read documentation. I haven't made a secret of what I've done so it shouldn't come as a surprise. In all seriousness, though... I think that one of the mantras of user-friendliness these days is that the user shouldn't be allowed to easily select something wrong. If imapd uses $HOME for its mail directories, there's really nothing to prevent the user from being presented with a list of various files when they ask for a list of their mail folders. It is the admins responsibility to see that the users have a proper setup. Up to this point, one of the attractive features of Debian is that it *fixes* the brain-dead defaults put in by the people who originally wrote the software. But in this case, whether or not the default is brain-dead is not easy to determine. To us having the mail root be $HOME/mail seems eminently sensible. But believe me many people disagrreed. Well, you could fix that by having some sort of big warning in the postinst script or something that required the user to hit a return so that you could be sure they see it. That would be even more obnoxious. People hate useless warnings. Perhaps now we have debconf this could be done in a less intrusive way but even then I would not be sure that people saw it. Besides I already have a big warning in the most natural place for someone to look for it. README.debian. Actually, what we *really* need is some sort of consensus. I mean, it would be pretty nice if imapd and other tools (like procmail) all looked in the same default location without any configuration. I know Elm and Pine used $HOME/Mail and $HOME/mail at one time. I can't speak for all Debian developers but I have you the users interests in mind when I work on my packages. If there was a consensus I would adopt it no matter what my personal feelings are. But in this case there simply isn't one. Surely, I can't be the only one who sees the benefit in having all of the tools look in the same location for the Sent Mail folder, and Drafts, etc. You should make a proposal on the debian-policy list. Aside from the fact that compartmentalization is a good thing. I mean, heck... while we're at it, why even bother using /var/spool/mail? Just dump all mail into /var/spool! :) It's not symmetric. If the root is $HOME you can store your all you folders in a subdirectory like mail if you like. If it is $HOME/mail someone who wants them in $HOME is out of luck. But I don't expect this to change anyone's mind, I guess. What I'm really after is a suggestion for a replacement imapd since I'm obviously going to have to purge Jaldhar's. I tried the Cyrus-Imap, but wasn't able to get that to work right out of the box. You hardly have to take such drastic measures but if the advice above is unsuitable you can also try courier-imapd. Haven't used it so I couldn't tell you its' features though. -- Jaldhar H. Vyas [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Lilo hdb
Alec, thanks for the info. I was useful as Win2k does have boot loader similar to NT4's. I could just make hda1 the partition with Win2k by physically swapping the drives and then use the boot loader from Win2k (given the necessary tweaks). That solutions is however more work than I'm willing to do to play with Microsoft's latest bloatware ... I mean OS, whoops. Does anyone know a way I can boot Win2k from hdb1 using LILO? Thanks, Jaosn On 24 Jan, Alec Smith wrote: I don't know much about Win2k since I haven't had a chance to get my hands on a copy yet, but if its anything like WinNT With NT 4 you have the NT Boot Loader from which you can boot NT, or (surprise!) other OSes. The best way I've found to get everything going on the system is to insert Linux into the NT boot loader. There's a How-To which describes how to do this on kernelnotes.org. Essentially you want to get Linux to put its bootsector at the beginning of the partition its on. Then you'll use 'dd' to copy the bootsector from the Linux partition into a file on a FAT partition. From there you can edit NT's boot.ini file inserting a line which points at the bootsector file you made with dd. Win98 can also be inserted into the NT boot loader. For it you'll add a line like c:\=Windows 98 Since I don't know Win2k, I can't say if this info is of use, but hopefully it is.

I assume you can configure icewm to call something else on control alt delete, just have it call sudo shutdown -h now, or a wrapper script if you go the route i did. (btw if you use wrapper scripts like i did, you need to add a symlink from /usr/local/sbin/shutdown - /sbin/shutdown otherwise sudo will try and run your fake shutdown wrapper instead of the real one) -- Ethan Benson To obtain my PGP key: http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/pgp/

Re: dumb question, sorry in advance
if it is a binary program (do ls -l /usr/games/nameYourGame and look on the permissions for the x flag) then just run /usr/games/nameYourGame if it is not a binary program chances are your trying to run a program when that is not an executable. if the program is in your $PATH then you can just run nameYourGame and the system will do it..if it is NOT in your $PATH then you must specify the full path. Some programs even go so far as to want you to be in the directory which you are running the program, in this case you would cd /usr/games ; ./nameYourGame ..the ./ tells the system to run the command in the current directory, as the current directory is not in your $PATH (it is considered a security risk if it is). hope this helps! nate On Mon, 24 Jan 2000, dkphoto wrote: dkphot I've just finished installing (a few days ago) Linux/Unix and am stuck on dkphot something really dumb. dkphot dkphot I have figured out how to change shells, explore the file structure, use dkphot sh (a bit) and several other things, but I just can't seem to launch a dkphot simple game. dkphot dkphot /user/games/nameYourGame dkphot dkphot ...

Re: Oracle on Debian potato
On Wed, 26 Jan 2000, A. M. Varon wrote: Hi, Anybody has experiences running Oracle on a potato system? regards, I am running 8.0.5 without problems now. However the install was something to mention. In the following I assume you have installed oracle on another linux. If you haven't, then see the document I mention at the end of my letter, for a step-by-step instruction list. However, you have to compare it with my letter, since some things need to be done differently in debian. So read both before starting to install oracle. In short: you need to debianize a couple of redhat packages with alien. alien redhatpackagefilename These packages are: compat-binutils-5.2-2.9.1.0.23.1.i386.rpm compat-glibc-5.2-2.0.7.1.i386.rpm compat-egcs-5.2-1.0.3a.1.i386.rpm compat-egcs-c++-5.2-1.0.3a.1.i386.rpm compat-libs-5.2-1.i386.rpm These can be found on RH6.0 and RH 6.1 mirrors in the RPMS directory. After installing them, you need to chmod +x the following files: /usr/i386-glibc20-linux/ld-2.0.7.so .../libc.so .../libc-2.0.7.so The first is mandatory, the other two I am not sure, I chmoded them as well. You must also link to make as gmake ln -s /usr/bin/make /usr/local/bin/gmake After this, you can install oracle 8.0.5 almost normally, except one thing: the oratab.sh in orainst does not run properly on debian. You must change the references to the GROUPS variable in it to somethin else, since GROUPS varaible is readonly in bash. I don't know about this in sh. What I did was to replace GROUPS to GROUPSPROG. take care however not to replace GROUPS in ALL_GROUPS. After this install oracle, but don't create the database objects. Before running root.sh, you need to patch the oracle binaries. The patch tarball is at ftp://ftp.oracle.com/pub/www/otn/linux/glibcpatch.tgz Extract it to ~oracle/orapatch cd into ~oracle/orapatch sh glibcpatch.sh It will take a little time to complete, there can be error messages along the way, but they don't matter. They are missing files you did not install because you not selected everything. Type sqlplus to check that it worked. If it segfaults then you have missed something. If it gives you the normal sqlplus prompt, then the patching was successful. After this you can create the DB objects normally (you need to select the RDBMS Standard item again). You must do this with the Install parts menu item, since not everything is installed yet, so Create/Upgrade DB objects won't work yet. There is a couple of editing and chmod-ing and chown-ing to do... After this it will work flawlessly. See more details in http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/rh6x.html Instead of machinating with .profile files as described in that document, just put the following in /etc/profile, modified accordingly to your install decisions, but before installing, to spare yourself some problem: export ORACLE_OWNER=oracle export ORACLE_HOME=/store/oracle export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/store/oracle/lib export ORACLE_BASE=/store/oracle export ORACLE_SID=ORCL export ORACLE_TERM=386 export ORACLE_DOC=/store/oracle/doc and add /store/oracle/bin to the PATH statement. The oracle TNS listener can only be started as user oracle. If you need it to start at boot-up, then you need to do some more compiling other packages (daemontools from Daniel J. Berstein).

Also, when I try to go into GNOME, following instructions from the OReilly Debian book, I am told much of the stuff, gmc, panel, etc., don't exist. I try apt-get update or install or install --fix-missing with no luck or else to receive messages that 404 isn't found. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Re: Please tell me this is curable...
Success! The ones that were put up in ascii and taken down in binary are recovered. The others need to be downloaded again but at least the most important documents are recovered. Many thanks!

Re: new to debian...
Thanks for the info on using apt. One more question, if you don't mind Won't this take forever over my ISDN line? I have access to a T1 at work, so that might be the better choice. If not, then I'll try apt at home over ISDN.

Now you do: apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade apt-get upgrade apt-get dselect-upgrade and... when all goes well YOU HAVE POTATO (apt downloads automatic). Ron
RE: potato mirror
Hi, I'm in the middle of mirroring the potato distribution and notice that there are about 300+ packages symlink to slink distribution. Does this mean that I need to mirror slink also? No. I used rsync and told it to follow the symlinks. I can get just potato and just i386. I can send you the script if you want. The rsync I am using is from potato but I started from the one in slink. The total space required is about 2.2G. jim Thanks! --- tcp -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null

Setting up a PPP connection using a calling card
Hi, this may be a little off topic, but please bear with me. I am using Debian unstable on my laptop now and have a local dial-up account using PPP. Sometimes when I travel I want to use a company calling card to dial my local ISP and get mail and stuff having the long distance directly billed to my employer. The problem is that using the calling card requires putting in a customer number and a pin and finally my ISP's number. Does anyone know where I can find information regarding how to do this? I have looked several places but can not find information I am able to use. Windows have calling card features in their dial software, but I can not find info regarding this when it comes to Linux.

Re: downloading
Gavin Schuette wrote: I want to download the debian operating system for a pentium processor, what should I do? I have tried the ftp site from my netscape browser and cliked on slink and it downloads a list of files only? Where is the link I clik to download the operating system itself? I would love to put it on my home computer. There are several ways of doing this. If you're going to keep a DOS/Windows partition on this box, there's five or six files you can download to that partition which you can use to install a minimal (and I mean minimal) base system. If you're not going to keep a DOS/Win partition, you need to download about 7 diskette images and make floppies out of them (using rawrite2.exe, available on your download site near the floppy images, to create them from DOS). Once you've got the base system installed, you can get your network going and download the rest quite easily (but perhaps slowly, depending on the type of connection you have. You can read about both of these methods at http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/install, particularly section 5.3 and 5.6.
Trouble with X Windows...
...I just converted over (well, initialized my disk and started from scratch) from RedHat 6.0 to Debian 2.1 (Slink). I cannot get XWindows to run correctly. I have a Matrox G200 AGP card... is this NOT the equivalent to the Millennium II AGP driver/card listed in the XF86Setup program? If not, what to do? I am considering upgrading to Potato, but I do not even know how to do that (with apt)... Can someone help me out? I'd like to get up and running with Debian. Thank you. Mike
Re: dynamic IP's, IP masq and mail, can it be done?
Ethan Benson wrote: Hi, I have a small network connected to the internet via a IP masq gateway, and would like to get mail working, but the above setup is a nightmare for mail it would seem. is it even possible for mail to work in such a setup or am i wasting my time? I got the gateway machine to send mail, but my fake domain still shows up in various places, such as the message ID and a second From line. and in order to do that i had to setup a virtual table for all the local user accounts, otherwise when cron or something send mail to root it would go to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ... I am using Postfix and have gone through pretty much all of the documentation on the web site and still don't have this all working very well, and it seems to be a very very messy setup. I'm using postfix on slink to do this now. It's been a while since I set it up so I may be a little vague about some of the details, my notebook with my debian notes has gone missing. Do you have a domain already? If you do, see if your isp will do uucp delivery for you. My home lan gets its mail via uucp from my desktop machine at work. If you don't have a domain and are unwilling to pay for a top level domain, talk to the folks at dyndns.org about getting a subdomain from them. To do this (from vague memory, there may be a little more to it than this) 1) set up a uucp link between your home gateway machine and your isp. There is a howto on this, so I won't go into detail. 2) set up your domain's dns so that your isp is the mx for your domain. 3) have your isp configure their end so that all mail for your domain is transferred via uucp to your machine. 4) Set up your home machine to send all mail outside your domain to your isp (check out the postfix faq for details) via uucp. This isn't totally necessary if you have a fast link - I have a cablemodem and do all my outgoing delivery myself. 5) Set up your ip-up script to add a call of 'uucico -S ispuucpname' to force a connection to pick up your pending mail send out your outgoing queue. 6) add a cron job to do 'uucico -S ispuucpname' every hour or so to pick up your mail If you want to have incoming uucp over tcp and use a seperate password file for uucp (recommended), put the password entries into /etc/uucp/passwd and add uucpstream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/uucico -l to your inetd.conf and then kill -HUP inetd When I was using diald and ppp for a dialup connection, I had my ip-up script touch /var/run/linkup and then had ip-down remove it. Then I could have cron jobs check to see if the link was already up before doing anything. The big advantage of having your mail come in over uucp is that it will resume interrupted transfers where they left off, rather than making you retransmit the whole message. Very nice if you have timed local phone service. If your own isp won't do this, there are companies out there who will, including the consulting firm I work with (http://www.communiweb.net). jpb -- Joe Block [EMAIL PROTECTED] CREOL System Administrator Social graces are the packet headers of everyday life.
