port 443 problem?
Hi all, I'm using SID. I installed apache-ssl and even though it loaded without any error messages, i realized that netstat -an|grep 443 gives nothing. ps aux shows that gcache is running. So i purged it and install apache + mod-ssl. Port 80 works but netstat -an|grep 443 still gives nothing. No error messages. In both cases, https://127.0.0.1 gives "Connection refused". Any idea what's wrong? Eric
extending yppasswd max password length?
Hi all, I'm using sid's nis package. I noticed that when changing a password using yppasswd, it seems to truncate the password, even if one keys in a password that consists of say 12 characters. So after the password is changed (password = 1234567890ab), i can log in using 1234567890cd or so. Any idea how I can make yppasswd accept more characters as password? Eric
Re: [OT] sql database webmail?
Sorry, but I do not quite understand. If I use imapd with SQL database support (what's a good one that does this?), don't I still need to create user accounts on the system so the smtp server can deliver to the user directory (or some other location). I'm actually looking for a web mail that does its own user account management. Does such a thing exist?

Re: dhcp & ip addresses
Hi, Thanks for your reply. However, my firewall has been showing many ips running the same exploits (port 53) against as well as pinging my machine. I'm thinking of grabbing a different ip from my dhcp-providing cable ISP. So far, dhclient and pump keeps giving me the same ip, even when I apt-get remove --purge and install the other. Only dhcpcd from stable gives me another ip. I'm using SID, so is there a way to use pump or dhclient to drop the current ip that they insist on giving me and force them to look for a different one? -- Eric Boo Sunday, July 29, 2001, 10:46 AM 26 minutes http://magicman.freeshell.org Its name is Public Opinion.

dhcp & ip addresses
Hi all, I'm using pump on SID. My ISP is a cable provider who do not issue static ips. Usually, when I use pump, I have the same ip address for months, unless I switch off the modem and someone else grabs it. When I reboot into windows on the same machine, I get another ip address, then when I go back to linux again, it's back to the same old ip address again (assuming no one grabbed it). If I use dhcpcd, it's another ip. Question: How are these ip address stored, if they are (under pump espcially), and how do I force pump to get another different ip if needed? Also, I can't seem to use pump on the command line after releasing it with pump -r. pump -R -i eth0 and simply "pump" both gave operation failed. Maybe I should go back to dhcpcd. Or is there an alternative? How's dh-client? Eric
