Please help with sendmail-fetchmail problem
I am running Debian Woody as up to date as I can get. I have 3 mail servers on the net that I want to get my mail onto my local machine I figure fetchmail to get the mail by pop3 and sendmail on my local server to deliver it to my local mailboxes. I keep getting error messages that refer to the inability of sendmail not finding anything in the /etc/mail/ssl directories and fetchmail cannot authenticate the mailbox user. Here are the errors out of the syslog file: Jun 4 21:48:18 schserv fetchmail[3050]: Authorization failure on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jun 4 21:48:18 schserv fetchmail[3050]: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL) Jun 4 21:48:24 schserv fetchmail[3050]: Authorization failure on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jun 4 21:48:24 schserv fetchmail[3050]: Query status=3 (AUTHFAIL) Jun 4 21:50:01 schserv /USR/SBIN/CRON[3213]: (smmsp) CMD (test -x /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail /usr/share/sendmail/sendmail cron-msp) Jun 4 21:50:01 schserv sm-msp-queue[3227]: STARTTLS=client: file /etc/mail/ssl/sendmail-client.crt unsafe: No such file or directory Jun 4 21:50:01 schserv sm-msp-queue[3227]: STARTTLS=client: file /etc/mail/ssl/sendmail-common.key unsafe: No such file or directory Jun 4 21:50:01 schserv sm-msp-queue[3227]: STARTTLS=client: file /etc/mail/ssl/sendmail-server.crt unsafe: No such file or directory Jun 4 21:50:01 schserv sm-msp-queue[3227]: STARTTLS=client, error: load verify locs /etc/ssl/certs/, /etc/mail/ssl/sendmail-server.crt failed: 0 I hope someone can help me.

masqmail problem
OK. I have changed the mailer from sendmail to masqmail. I had a problem with sendmail not working right on my machine. I tried exim and that did not work either. My needs are simple. I have one phone line dedicated as a modem line for my computer's internet access. I have had this type of a setup for years and never had any trouble with it. In the past year I had some hardware problems so I fixed them and got a fresh install of Debian Woody on the machine. It is update every week. To make a long story short, I have had a lot of trouble getting my email. So much so that I have set up the family on yahoo. I decided that I need to get my mail up on my machine so I installed masqmail. As soon as I did, fetchmail started pulling mail into my system! But I cannot get it to send now. I am figureing that I do not have a setting right but I have not found that setting yet. Can someone help with the settings? I figure that is all I need to change and I will have my email working again. Thank you in advance for any help rendered. Brian Schramm = __ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!

It looks to me like that would require your password ... however a quick test on my debian box shows that it doesn't. Some snippets from 'man sudoers' that seem relevant : The reserved word ALL is a built in alias that always causes a match to succeed. It can be used wherever one might otherwise use a Cmnd_Alias, User_Alias, Runas_Alias, or Host_Alias. You should not try to define your own alias called ALL as the built in alias will be used in preference to your own. Please note that using ALL can be dangerous since in a command context, it allows the user to run any command on the system. - The User specification is the part that actually determines who may run what. root ALL = (ALL) ALL %wheel ALL = (ALL) ALL We let root and any user in group wheel run any command on any host as any user. FULLTIMERS ALL = NOPASSWD: ALL Full time sysadmins (millert, mikef, and dowdy) may run any command on any host without authenticating themselves. PARTTIMERS ALL = ALL Part time sysadmins (bostley, jwfox, and crawl) may run any command on any host but they must authenticate themselves first (since the entry lacks the NOPASSWD tag).

kmail
OK, I have heard several times that kmail uses imap. Yet I cannot find a way to set it up for that. Can anyone tell me how? All I have for options are local and pop accounts. I would like to use kmail to have full support for imap including server side mail folders. Any chance of that working? Thanks.

Have you run update from dselect? If so, then they are probably still
listed in dselect, because the packages from ximian are still installed
on your system. The versions of these packages in the debian archive
are lower I guess, so they are not upgraded.
You can try typing this into a root shell:
for pkg in $( COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l * | awk '/^ii.*ximian/ {print $2}' )
do
apt-get --reinstall install $pkg
done
Try:
COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l * | grep ximian
to see if that fixed it.

OK, I am ccing the list on this. I do have the source installed. I installed the deb package for 2.2.19 and compiled the kernel for the machine that it is running on.

OK, lets start by assuming you have the kernel source in /usr/src/linux/ When you ran 'make config' (or menuconfig or xconfig, whatever) you generated a file /usr/src/linux/.config and /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h modversions.h is the key file. When you ran 'make mrproper' you deleted both these files (and whatever else was created by make config). So in order to create /usr/src/linux/include/linux/modversions.h, you need to re-run make config. You don't need to re-compile the kernel at all. What I recommend doing is saving a copy of /usr/src/linux/.config, so if you ever do need to re-generate things like modversions.h in an idendical configuration as before, you can just put the file in place (/usr/src/linux/.config) and run 'make oldconfig'. noah -- ___ | Web: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/ | PGP Public Key: http://web.morgul.net/~frodo/mail.html -- Brian Schramm http://www.linuxexpert.orgICQ 104442754 AIM schrammbrian [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Problem with boot
What I am talking about is I built the kernel using make-kpkg kernel_image and that creates a deb file for me to install. The problem is that the lilo utility at the command prompt does not install right and the mkboot command from the command prompt does not make a bootable system for me but the programs that are used when you install the deb file that the above command makes works with no trouble. I would just like to know the commands that it uses so I can use it to do the changes when I make them instead of using the lilo or mkboot commands.

sendmail
I am running Debian Potato as up to date as possible. I stay online all the time through a 56K modem I have no trouble sending mail to anyone on the web except for Mindspring.com addresses. This just started recently (within the last 3 months). As soon as I send a mail message out to mindspring I get a message error bounce-back saying the address is not correct. But I can come to work and use the same address to send to with no problems. Here is the message log that gets written every time I send to mindspring.

php3
I am running debian potato and am trying to get Twig 2.5.1 to run. For some reason even after going through and installing all the php3 modualls that are listed.

Problem with sound
I am running Potato with 2.2.17 for a kernel and KDE2 as my desktop. I have a cs4232 audio card. When I was running Slink I had no trouble running the audio card but when I upgraded, I have not been able to get it to work at all. If I cat a audio file out to /dev/audio the device is always busy. KDE2 does not drive it eather. I can still play audio CD's on it but that does not use the audio card. Can anyone tell me where to go from here? I have tryed different settings with no luck. Thanks. Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
KDE2
I have a Debian Potato system fully up to date. OK. I read the reviews, I read the how install its. I installed the deb files. I cannot get any help on any kde aplication. There is no way that I can find to change the buttons arround on the windows. And there is no way to save the preferences on kword like tabs, indent, et. This is not the qualitly that I expected. Please tell me that there is something wrong with my install. And maybe how to fix it. Thanks Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
SCSI SCSI emulation
I am running Potato with a IDE cdrom writer and I just got the Tekram DC390U2W SCSI card so I can get some SCSI devices to run. I have tried several drivers (Tekram web site) and biltin kernel drivers to get the card to work. I finally ended up with turning off the scsi emulation in the kernel to get it to work. Is there any way that both can exist with each other? I need both for what I am doing and rebooting is such a waist of time. Thanks for your help. Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
Serial/modem experts
OK, I would like to use a multiport serial board to connect more then 1 modem to my Linux machine to dial into the same provider to try to get faster net access. I know that equ will handle making the modems act as one but I do not know how good it is. This is about the only afordable solution that I have at this time so I need to know how it works in the reliability side of things. Is there a problem with wetting up the system for dyn. DNS? Is there a performance hit? Does it take a high powered machine or can it run good on a 486 firewall? Has anyone got a setup like this working well? Is there a modem max to it? Thanks.

Problem with mail
I am having some problems with my pine system and netscape mail system. I am running debian potato using the same home directory as I was using in slink. Pine: Pine keeps asking me to save my sent-mail folder into the aug backup folder every other time I start the program. I do that and it is fine for that run. Then the next time I start pine it tells me that I need to delete the aug folder to conserve disk space. I have 250 meg free on that drive so it should not be concerned with disk space. This is a continues pattern since the first of this month. Netscape: I cannot find any of my folders nor can I delete messages. Keep in mind that all the mail systems on my system works through imap. I also have one other user on the system and they are working fine in netscape. That is the only mail program that they use. Also, keep in mind that the users are local so there is no diference on the program end in that way. Please help. Thanks for any help you give. Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org
Sun xterm revisited.
OK. I asked for help once before on this. I now need this fixed so I am back to it. I have Debian potato running at this time. I did use Debian slink working fine. I saved the etc and other configuration data off the old slink system on CD so I could use it to rebuild my system with. I have everything set up the way that I had it before and am still not able to get the Sun xterms working. I have set the tty0, tty2 and console on the xterm directory and the debian directory to be readwrite by the world. I still get the same error messages. I have run through all my thoughts on this and I have not gotten anywhere. I think the xfs is working but that is one of the error messages. Here is the error messages on the console of the bootp computer: fh_verify: dev/tty2 permission failure, acc=8, error=30 fh_verify: dev/console permission failure, acc=8, error=30 fh_verify: dev/tty0 permission failure, acc=8, error=30 Here is the error messages on the Xterm boot screen: pexextensioninit: couldn't open default pex font file roman_mcouldn't load xkb keymap, falling back to pre-xkb keymap xdmcp fatal error: manager unwilling host unwilling I hope this helps.

xfs servers
I am not able to get the xfs or xfs-xtt packages to work on Potato. They load but when I try to test them with fslsfonts -server localhost:7100 it fails.

Problem with upgrade and xterm
OK, I had a working Debian slink system that allowed 2 Sun Xterminals to work off of it. I had a problem with my hd so I rebuilt the system from scratch not knowing what has been damaged (yes I am running with no backups). Since the Potato reliese is close to done, I desided to take this time and upgrade too. I have configured everything with the same paramiters (I think) and am using the same slxt package for the xterm system. For some reason it is not working. I get the normal boot messages on the xterm but it never loads the kdm login manager. Here is what is displayed on the main computer monitor at that time: fh_verify: dev/tty2 permission failure, acc=8, error=30 fh_verify: dev/console permission failure, acc=8, error=30 fh_verify: dev/tty0 permission failure, acc=8, error=30 I am at a loss. Can anyone help? Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.linuxexpert.org

I have a very basic configuration in the bootptab file and have tftpd and bootpd installed in the inet.conf file. For some reason I do not get the bootp system to even load when I boot the Xterminal. I have even gone as far as trying to load it from the command line to no success. No error messages (that I have found) have come up.

I have gone through all the doc that I can find on Bootptab and have the most basic configuration in it so I figure that I am not doing anything wrong there.

Sendmail-anything else
I am trying to learn sendmail but it is not working the way I am expecting or wanting it to. I have tried everything that I can think of to no avail. Maybe someone can tell me why or maybe I should try something else. I am running Debian Slink with sendmail running and bind working. I use multiple mailboxes for my family. Each member has a login account on the Linux machine. Each member has a permanate forwarding e-mail box on the net so when I change ISP's I do not have to worry about changing e-mail addresses. Now what I want is sendmail (read any one like exim, send, et.) to always re-write the from address to the forwarding e-mail address for that user. I want to use any client program that I want for the mail program. Like I like StarOffice for my personal mail and ishmail for my work mail. My wife likes Netscape for hers. All these programs access the Linux machine for all e-mail for the user. So my local sendmail sends and receives my mail. I also need to have a flexible alias system so I can have all accounts receive mail from one address and they get the private mail from the other accounts no matter what the name is on the ISP side. The mail pull from the ISP is done through fetchmail at the root level so I only have one configuration file. Is anyone running a system like this? Can anyone help me get it set up? I have tried so many things that this letter would be way too long for anyone to read if I listed them all here. I am willing to take any suggestions that anyone has to offer. Even trying something else as long as someone has an idea as to how this configuration would work. Thanks. Brian Schramm -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]

OK. I have Staroffice mail working to my local machine. My problem is intermetently I am having problem connecting to my machine. Everything is set to localhost for a server name. Bind is set up with localhost in it's table (acording to the deb install). And it works 90% of the time. Since this is the only office package that I have that is fully inticrated so I can automate some of my tasks, I would realy like to have everything working well. My main problem is nothing shows up in the logs as an error. At least none of them that I have checked. So, if anyone would have a sugestion I would like to here it. I am running Debian 2.1 with KDE as a desktop. Thanks. -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Bind
I am using one machine to run Debian 2.1. I do not have a network but I want bind to handle caching of DNS inquires. I am doing this so I can use the sendmail genericstable and virtualtable and convert my addresses to the ones I want to have everyone use for replys. My problem is now if I am not connected to the net, everything stops when I send a message. I have not changed my sendmail configuration yet to vurtual hosting so I cannot see where that is the problem. I installed the bind package with no forwarding so it is in caching setup. Thanks for all the help. -- Brian Schramm [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I don't know sendmail, but I doubt it is necessary to have a running bind to do address rewriting. This is completely unrelated.

Brian I installed the bind package with no forwarding so it is in Brian caching setup. So where does your bind gets it's info, if you didn't specify forwarders (= hosts to ask for entries it doesn't know = your ISP's DNS servers)? It tries to ask the root servers. I thought forwaders where for a local network. That is why I did not put any in. I believe you have a misconception about the thing you want to setup and solve. What should your bind cache, and where does it get this info from? Where did you read about this bind - addressrewriting connection? I got this from the sendmail.org web site. It clames that you need it running in order to do vurtual hosts and address rerouting. I have tryed to do it without setting up a bind server and it totally ignores the address changes so I am adding the bind server to see if they are right.

Re: StarOffice help
OK, how do I make sure that my bind is installed as caching-only name server?
