Re: [expert] Real PLayer
Werner, There could be a couple of reasons that you can't connect and they aren't your fault. Since you can connect to the one site that indicates that your set up correctly (however this could be a bad assumption on my part I really doubt if it is.) 1. Rush's site is so slow or overloaded at the time you are trying to connect that it's just taking forever for RPlayer to get the data it needs and it's timing out or freezing. 2. The webmaster at rushes site made a typo on the page and as a result it can't connect correctly. 3. Since realplayer for linux is in a state of perpetual beta testing it could be unable to connect due to some weird Windoze only feature the webmaster has enacted. 4. The people at Real.com are liberals and they have added software to block Rush. :) Hope this helps.

There is the crypto-export issue, the Wasennar (sp?) agreement, and also some patent issues related to RSA and IDEA. You are not allowed to export 128-bit software from the US, but you can export it to Canada only. If the software is open-source, and has most of the code coming from another country than the US (openssl comes from Australia originally, now Switzerland and Germany while openssh comes from europe originally but now is in Canada), I think it should be safe to export it.

[expert] How will this effect Mandrake?
I read this on freshmeat today and wondered if it will have an impact on the way Mandrake does business? vern subject: Possible Threat to French Open Source Sites added by: jeff covey on Jun 21st 2000, 07:40 category: Editorial body: John Fremlin writes: Next week, the French National Assembly will vote on appending a chapter to the law limiting freedom of communication. As written, it would unambiguously prohibit hosting of content of unspecified provenance; that is, sites on which users could post material would be legally obligated to somehow determine the true identities and postal addresses of their users. The free software community is directly affected, as large Open Source projects don't have the requisite information about their contributors and could not legally be made available in France.

[expert] Network Questions to Ask?
At the school where I teach, we are on a T1 and a Win NT server. I have had Internet access in Linux before, so I know it can be done. However, for some reason, I can't get it going with my new 7.1 installation. The install found my NIC automatically. Part of my problem is that I am the only Linux user on campus. Even the head computer guy only know Windows and Netware (our office LAN, which is another Linux horror story... but another time). So I'm not sure just what questions I need to ask the honcho to be sure that I get the right answers. I'm next to positive that I have my IP correct; it's not dynamically assigned. The mask is set correctly, as is the default gateway. However, there was a question for which I don't have the answer: Gateway device? So, during the install I left it blank. Is that my problem? We have to DNS numbers, and I put the first one in the spot where it was called for. I think that's OK. But I'm not sure about my host name. I understand that it has three elements, separated by periods, as in "a.b.c". Here's my thinking on that: a. Is this my username (on the school's system) or my computer's name? b. The college's email address is "emmanuel-college.edu", so I guess that b is "emmanuel-college" and... c. ... is "edu". Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA
[expert] Installing 7.1: How to Unselect?
I just got 7.1 from CheapBytes and installed it. The install went fine using the expert-development-everything option. However, I would have liked to unselect some things, but I couldn't figure out how to do it. Some things I double-clicked, it said I had to have them. Some things I double-clicked, it said I didn't have room for them! So I gave up and let it dump everything on there. So how do you unselect and select at the screen where each individual program is listed? Lane Lane Lester / Madison County, Georgia USA

Re: [expert] Learning from the masters...
All, I've got a box with Mandrake 7.1 that I'm trying to install Star Office on. But I've run into the following problem. It seems that whenever I type the ./setup command after going into the directory on the cdrom it keeps giving me a Permission denied error. I've checked permissions and they are read execute. I'm logged into kde as root. (I've also done a ctrl/alt/f3 and tried it from the command line logged in as root) and I get the same permission denied error. No other errors are present. Since I can navigate to the directory on the cdrom I know it's mounted and I've checked permissions up the chain and they are all in line. In short I'm having trouble finding any difference between this box and another one that I have already installed Star Office on. Any suggestions? Thanks for your time. James

Re: [expert] Mail Server - Very Interested In Setting Up, But....
BS''D > I'm looking at setting up a mail server but I'm a bit confused about a few things >(regarding this subject). What's the difference > between SMTP and POP3 servers? Is one dependent on the other? Can they both send >and receive? Are some of the POP3 servers easier > and quicker to setup? POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) and SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) are commonly used protocols for receiving and sending out emails. In your /etc/services you find entries for both services and their standard ports smtp25/tcp mail ssmtp 465/tcp # SMTP over SSL pop3110/tcp pop-3 # POP version 3 pop3110/udp pop-3 The whole stuff is a relatively complex matter that cannot be explained in 2 words. In short: one sends email with SMTP over the SMTP port 110 and gets them using POP3 over the POP3 port 25. Before you start, you should read first some documents about this; for example http://www.sendmail.org/ sendmail is THE mail server program http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Qmail-VMailMgr-Courier-imap-HOWTO.html This document is about building a mail server that will support virtual domain hosting and provide smtp, pop3 and imap services, using a powerful alternative to sendmail. http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/ISP-Setup-RedHat.html Outlines the setup of a single RedHat box for dial-ins,virtual web hosting, virtual email, POP3 and ftp servers or take the classical sendmail book by Bryan Costales & Eric Allman (here you'll find everything you need to know ... but you'll maybe got hammered by the mass of details) Actually it depends on your taste, what server you run. Sendmail is the most powerful but live can also become very difficult with it (I am the SysAdmin in our ISP and got gray hair on it :->) With sendmail you can do both smtp, pop3 and lots more ... we do nearly everything with it. For the easy tasks you don't need much info and you are quickly done ... but the more you want to do with it the harder it'll be. A lot of people love qmail because they say its easier to handle. But it is less powerful (though most services you'll never use) and it has some strange license agreement: you cannot distribute a changed version of it -- you can only provide patches. But even big providers use qmail. But with Mandrake you have also postfix ... and maybe you try it out. Best, Daniel.

SMTP is a protocol for transferring mail from machine to machine as it is routed from source to destination (very loose definition). It is not geared towards interaction with peoples mail readers. POP3 is a protocol designed to interact with the user's mail reader. However, it does not allow you to send mail, only to receive. So the short answer is, you use SMTP for sending mail (the email clients can handle that), and POP3 for receiving it (or IMAP if you want to). Good luck Tony

So instead it just updated lilo.conf (I saw date change) and rebooting goes into lilo mode. So combining all the answers, I went into /boot/grub and edited menu.lst to add the proper memory setting. Tried running ./install.sh but it did not work because of permissions. chmod700 the file (don't want users touching it), and ran it just fine. I tried running /usr/sbin/grub but it seemed to only go into a menu mode. Quit out of there, and rebooted... everything is good again. Thanks... Dan.

[expert] Tulip Driver on LM 7.1
I saw the discussion awhile back about the tulip drivers (specifically the Linksys LNE100TX card). However I never really did see a resolution to this. I am currently trying to get the tulip driver to compile on LM7.1 however it is coming up with many errors. If anyone could shed some light on this I would be very greatful.

For example, any GUI apps can include (should include) a menu entry as well, for Mandrake's new menu system. Then of course you are building against Mandrake libraries which may contain other enhancements not found in, say, RedHat libraries. There are quite a few things, actually. Although Mandrake boasts 99.5% compatability with RedHat (and it is really close) there are some other Mandrake-specific things that, although they would be ignored on any other system (ie. the menu system stuff), really enhances the mdk RPMs when installed on an mdk system. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED], OpenPGP key available on www.keyserver.net Freezer Burn BBS: telnet://bbs.freezer-burn.org .

[expert] Mail Server - Very Interested In Setting Up, But....
I'm looking at setting up a mail server but I'm a bit confused about a few things (regarding this subject). What's the difference between SMTP and POP3 servers? Is one dependent on the other? Can they both send and receive? Are some of the POP3 servers easier and quicker to setup? Seve
[expert] How to trace IP packets...
I've got an interesting problem which is a little bit beyond me, and maybe one of you can give me a few hints. We use a wireless ISP to connect to the internet, and they way it seems to work is that the wireless device they supply behaves pretty much like a repeater and all packets that it sees from either side are just repeated on the other. So far, so good, but I was watching my external interface today with tcpdump, and I noticed a lot of activity from an IP address 10.1.9.1 which is one of the addresses in the class A reserved network, so it really shouldn't be out in the wild. I only see packets like this: 13:23:42.327176 arp who-has 10.1.9.70 tell 10.1.9.1 13:23:42.328039 arp who-has 10.1.9.71 tell 10.1.9.1 13:23:42.329121 arp who-has 10.1.9.72 tell 10.1.9.1 13:23:42.330081 arp who-has 10.1.9.73 tell 10.1.9.1 13:23:43.315266 arp who-has 10.1.9.134 tell 10.1.9.1 13:23:43.317814 arp who-has 10.1.9.135 tell 10.1.9.1 13:23:43.321283 arp who-has 10.1.9.136 tell 10.1.9.1 13:23:43.322147 arp who-has 10.1.9.137 tell 10.1.9.1 13:23:43.328441 arp who-has 10.1.9.138 tell 10.1.9.1 13:23:43.426728 arp who-has 10.1.9.74 tell 10.1.9.1 I never see any replies, so I guess they are going via an internal-only connection. In my own network we are using the class C reserved subnet so I know this has nothing to do with us. I think it's another customer of the ISP with a config error. So here are my questions: 1. How can I track them down and tell advise them of their problem? I've already sent a mail to the ISP, but given their normal lack of action, I don't expect a response. 2. Any ideas as to what kind of config error could cause this? Routing table? IP forwarding? All help gratefully received. Regards, Tony === Tony Smith Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1189 893200 ===
