Sendmail newbie question
I have three computers in my home. I use one as a router to masq the other two to the internet. I would also like to use this one as the mail hub. There is only one user for the three boxes. What I would like to do is to be able to read my mail from any box but still save it on the hub. So that if I want to refer to a saved msg from a different box I can get to it. The router is running debian 2.2r3 using fetchmail-sendmail-procmail-mutt to deal with mail. The way it is currently set up I have to read and send all mail from this box. The other 2 boxes are using progeny-debian. I went this route primarily because of the ease of X configuration with progeny. They also have the same mail pkgs installed. So, my question is, how can I set the network up to be able to send/read mail from any box but store all mail on the hub? Thanks, Jay Latham Beer is proof God loves us and wants us to be happy!

On Wed, Jul 18, 2001 at 02:43:43PM -0500, Jeremy Gaddis wrote: On the machine you want to be the mail hub, configure it to accept mail for your (local) domain. On the other machines, tell them to send all local mail to the mail hub for delivery and to use it as a smart host also. A quick example is in order, me thinks. I have three Linux machines here along with various flavors of Windows. hurricane is the (internal) mail server (i.e. no direct Internet connection). The two other Linux machines, kerberos and earthquake are set to send all local mail to hurricane, e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:pts/0:~]$ grep ^DH /etc/mail/sendmail.cf DHhurricane.home.lan The three Linux machines pass off any mail to hurricane, where it is stored. hurricane uses kerberos as a smart host, since it's the only machine directly connected to the Internet, e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:pts/0:~]$ grep ^DS /etc/mail/sendmail.cf DSkerberos.home.lan kerberos then uses my ISP's mail server as it's smart host, and lets it deal with the task of getting the mail to its final destination, e.g.: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:pts/0:~]$ grep ^DS /etc/mail/sendmail.cf DSmoseisley.blueriver.net To illustrate this a bit, all my e-mail is stored on my ISP's mail server. When I dialup (on kerberos, the machine with the modem), fetchmail is started and grabs my mail roughly every 300 seconds. fetchmail hands it off to sendmail on kerberos which has been told to send all local e-mail to hurricane for delivery. kerberos then contacts hurricane and gives it the message, which is then passed to procmail which filters it and puts it into its appropriate place under /home/jeremy/Mail/. When I'm done typing this message and hit Send, the machine I'm sitting at tremor will send it to hurricane (my internal mail server, remember?) which will see that it's a non-local email and pass it off to kerberos, who in turn, will give it to my ISP. (Take a look at the mail headers.) See, easy? :) Easy if you know what your doing ;-) Thanks for replying Jeremy, but I'm still confused. You've told me what I need to do but not how to do it. At least not in a way that a complete newbie can understand. I tried to set this up the way you described it (I think) using Outlook but I keep getting a message saying it can't find the host mybox.mydomain.org. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to set up the server to send the mail to the client. Or allow the client to access the mail on the server.

Sound Card Woes
Some history on the card. The card is a SB Live value edition that originally came in a Gateway 2000 computer that I bought 2 years ago. I have since turned this box into my server/router running Debian. But before I did that I had installed a number of distros on it (RedHat, Suse, Mandrake...) and could never get this card to work in any of them. It always worked great in windows. When I built my current workstation, (asus K7V mb athlon800 voodoo3 384mb RAM) I moved the card to it. Again, it works great in windows but I still can't get it to work in Debian or any other distro for that matter. The module loads without errors, sndconfig detects the correct card, basically everything that is supposed to happen happens except there is no sound. I'm beginning to wonder if this is one of those crippled cards that some manufacturers supply to computer venders at a discount price. Could they have turned this into a win only card? Any ideas welcome - Jay Latham

Also what would be a good route to take for a beginner programming? Hopefully the Debian gurus will reply. THANKS TO ALL THAT REPLY! this is sheer and utter nonsense. you said admin, not programmer, right? 1. you DON'T start programming assembly language to become a unix admin. 2. you DON'T have to learn C to be a fledgling unix admin, although it would definitely make sense to read KR down the road, AFTER you learn basics. a good knowledge of make is more important. 3. you DON'T need to read knuth and aho to become a unix admin. 4. you DON'T need to learn discrete math to become a unix admin. being able to use a calculator is good enough. 5. you CERTAINLY DON'T need to read stevens to become a unix admin. a good book like the NAG is certainly enough to begin with. later on, you can flesh out your knowledge with more detailed books. stevens is overkill. 6. you DON'T need to read ESR's cathedral to become a unix admin. that the HECK does this have to do with admining? 7. you DON'T need to start soldering shit. this is completely insane. he must have thought you meant programmer. here are the few things i agree with: Read Tannenbaum, Silbershatz (sp?) and Sobell's Practical Guide. Try shell, awk, sed scripts. Read the Camel book and learn Perl. now this is good advice. you MUST MUST MUST know perl and shell. Set up Sendmail, Bind and Inn on your quadruple-boot home peecee only if you want to become a professional. you never said if you want to use linux for home use or not. no need to know bind and inn if so. knowing a bit about sendmail is crucial, but you certainly don't need to, say, read the o'reilly horror called sendmail. (read everything you can find on linuxdoc.org). good advice, but unrealistic. read what you need to know. don't read what you don't need to know. you certainly won't need to learn how to program device drivers, for instance. a basic understanding of what they are, how they work and how they're configured is enough.

i think it means linux wanted to do an operation, sent the request, waited
for the IRQ to say i'm done but never got the interrupt.
Anyone got any ideas where I should go from here?
unfortunately not. best advice i can give is make sure the IDE ribbon cable

you know how you hit c to open other mailboxes and it says:
Open mailbox ('?' for list):
well, i can no longer use '?' to see the list of mailboxes. it does
nothing; it simply drops me back to the main mailbox index.
the only thing i can think of is that i *just* updated woody using apt-get.
i don't know if mutt was one of the packages that got updated.
does some kind soul have any ideas what might be going on?
now that i can't access my mailboxes, can you cc this account with a reply?
debian-user goes to a folder (via procmail), and the only way i have to read
my debian mail is by using vi on the mailbox it gets sent to.
a second wierd mutt thing. as root, when i run mutt, it says:

even though
# ll /var/spool/mail/root
-rw-rw1 root mail 0 Oct 20 08:05 /var/spool/mail/root
this *just* happened at the same time the other mutt problem began, just a

Re: Random reboots freezes on SMP
On Wed 28 Feb 01, 8:34 AM, Andrew n marshall said: Originally, I didn't think this was a SMP problem because of the Windows crashes and becuase Linux crashed many times before I added the SMP kernel (but after I installed the secnd processor). When I did finally get around to installing SMP and reading the HowTo, I began using the mem=255M kernel parameter which vastly improved the situation. I will mention that the most common activity just prior to a freeze/reboot, is playing with dselect, debian's console based front-end to the package manager. a single user space program shouldn't 'cause' the reboot or freeze. Now I am down to one or two reboots/freezes a week, but I don't know where to look next. I have double checked my BIOS for allt he recommendations listed in the HowTo, and I haven't found any error messages in any of the logs during any freeze or reboot. Where can I look for clues? are you sure it's a complete freeze? does the kernel generate an oops? can you ssh into your machine? occam's razor says that you have faulty RAM or firmware. the problem is almost certain to be with your hardware, not linux. try opening a bunch of netscapes and star offices. does the freeze happen? that would point to memory. here's what i would do. 1. swap all the ram. see if that helps. 2. remove one device. wait a week. if problem persists, put the device back and remove a different one. 3. repeat step 2 until you run out of devices. 4. if you still haven't found the problem, it's probably your motherboard. pete pgpv0yYrzkcJ2.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Problems with tulip driver
hi james, yes, the most commonly used pci drivers are the 3com vortex/boomerang, the dec tulip and the intel etherexpress pro 100. the problem is that there's a register on these cards, the general purpose register (CSR12) which are programmable by the vendor. they all do it a bit differently. it's a hard situation. as far as debian goes, i can understand your frustration. however, i'll tell you this much. i've used redhat, suse and debian extensively. when it comes to: updating your system recovering from a Really Bad Thing[tm] getting user support debian is orders of magnitude than redhat, and perhaps an order of magnitude better than suse. heck, look at all the support you're getting right now for free! :-) i see someone replied to your question about bin86, so i won't restate the answer. :-) good luck! pete On Sun 25 Feb 01, 6:40 PM, James K. Wiggs said: Peter, Thanks for the info. I find it sort of astonishing that there are problems with the tulip driver. This has to be probably the most commonly used driver other than the ne2k. I've been using these NetGear cards in most of my boxes for about three years and never had *any* problems with any previous kernel. The box I did this install on was running 2.2.14 previously, and the card never complained. Anyway, I unpacked the kernel source and did a make xconfig and I find that, interestingly, the FA-310TX card has its own button on the network drivers menu. I decided to compile it right into the kernel rather than as a module. The only problem now is that make is complaining that it can't find as86, even though I selected the development packages when I did the install. Looking through the stuff on the CD that I downloaded and burned, I can't figure out which .deb package contains the assembler. Do you happen to know? Can I just do an apt-get install as86 and expect it to work? I have to say that, overall, I've been thoroughly unimpressed by the Debian distro.

But maybe I was just locky with the hardware combinations I use. Seems to have to do with the mouse too. I used to have a simple ps/2 only mouse, seemed to work.

Re: A modules question
hi mike, i read your email and found it very useful. a few questions remain: If you run lsmod it will show you all loaded modules(e.g. eepro) and modprobe -l will show all your available modules. When the kernel needs a feature that is not resident in the kernel, it sends a request to Kmod, which then uses modprobe to load a module. Modprobe looks for an alias line in /etc/modules.conf to find a match, can you be more precise about this step? looking through /etc/modules.conf, i assume kmod hands modprobe something like: char-major-10-130, /dev/ppp or cipher-3 and then modprobe finds the lines: alias cipher-3fish2 alias /dev/pppppp_generic alias char-major-10-130 softdog and then hands fish2.o, ppp_generic.o and softdog.o to insmod? and insmod is then asked to insert the module the kernel needs. You do not edit /etc/modules.conf directly, but instead put the alias lines (alias eth0 eepro.o) in /etc/modutils and then run update-modules which regenerates the correct alias in /etc/modules.conf. just for my own knowledge, is this (running update-modules to update modules.conf) the way things are done on other distributions too? When the modules are installed a dependency file is created with depmod in /lib/modules/*version*/modules.dep, so modprobe knows all the correct modules it needs to load for a requested feature. so make modules_install runs depmod -a automatically? There is another file you can edit directly: /etc/modules with any modules to be loaded at boot time. So these are always loaded, where as the modules in /etc/modules.conf are loaded only when needed. again, just for my own curiosity, do other distributions also autoload modules on boot using /etc/modules? thank you for posting this email. i found it extremely helpful. pete pgpDmRoMi2WMj.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: Hi All
heh... i completely missed that. henry, what's up with the K+R? ;)
and i'm a competant enough C programmer to know you can call scripts from C,
but that wasn't the point. useradd is a script, not a C executable. so i
have no idea why it would honor his request for setuid since he didn't
mention anything about writing a wrapper...

Re: removing exe files...
bleah. why remove them? swoosh them into a temp directory where you can
delete them with prejudice.
but this is a much better idea: find out what the file command says about
your fortran OS/2 executables. say,
$ file bleeb.exe
fortran OS/2 hoopla executable blahblah
then use something like:
find / -exec file \{} \; | grep 'hoopla executable blahblah'
you can use this to get all the files, and put them in a holding area. or
you can delete them outright. whatever you want to do.

To quote Marcelo Chiapparini [EMAIL PROTECTED],
# How can I remove all of them? I search in the rm documentation (man rm
and
# info rm) but I didn't find anything.
You can use a few tools to do this, but I'll focus on 'find'. Here's
what to do, assuming the files you copied over are in /old-disk, and all
the fortran files are ended with .exe. Keep in mind this will remove
*all* files in /old-disk and its subdirectories which have their name
end in .exe:
find /old-disk -name *.exe | xargs rm -f
That'll find all the names in /old-disk and is subdirectories which end
in .exe, and will then run 'rm' on it, with the '-f' flag, which means
force, or as I like to put it, remove without any thought to the
consequences.

Re: Netscape 6 for Linux ?
let me be more specific: nice: 1. auto URL completion (big whoop). 2. renders CSS, even if you turn javascript off (NICE) 3. it crashes less from what i've seen. bad: 1. they took away the bookmark button. maybe this is small potatoes for some, but it's relevant to me. i liked being able to file my bookmarks. this is what i find most annoying. 2. kerberos is completely broken (i can't access my school grades with ns6). 3. very, very, very slow to load. even slower than previous NS incarnations 4. more junk. if the mozilla project/AOL really wanted to do anyone any good, they would concentrate less on the sidebar and more on speed and stability issues. no, i don't want to see little icons at the bottom of the browser that give me 'convenient access' to instant messenger or NS mail. i hate icons and the sidebar makes me puke. 5. assigning helper applications is now very inconvenient; i can't seem to make it work. well, i was able to assign gv to postscript, but that was after 10 minutes of trial and error. i think this subsystem is broken, because even though gv is summoned when i display a postscript object, the helper display doesn't show the postscript/gv entry; it's like the entry is invisible. shit, i can't write for beans. i hope you understand what i'm saying here. i'd recommend against netscape 6. i love CSS, so it's almost worth it for me. i'm thinking of going back though. pete On Sun 07 Jan 01, 10:10 AM, Arcady Genkin said... irvine [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: I was reading that there is a netscape version 6 available for Linux.

woody broke tex?
these things always seem to happen right before a presentation... i have a
definition for vectors:
\renewcommand{\v}[1]{\ensuremath{{\bf\vec{#1
just recently, i found this produced vectors with a ~ symbol instead of the
familiar vector symbol. previously, this macro always gave me nice vectors.
in this code snippet:
\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{equation} \bf\vec{x} \end{equation}
\end{document}
the \vec{} produces a squiggly line, very much like \~. by commenting out
the usepackage for amsmath, \vec produces the familiar vector symbol.
including amsmath seems to be the culprit.
i think tetex was updated a few weeks ago, and it's conceivable that i
haven't noticed this behavior since then; i've been on vacation for awhile.
has anyone else noticed this?
