[expert] email on home network
Hello all, hope this isn't too newbie. Here's my dilema: I'm on dsl behind a netgear router using portmapping to my linux server which handles a web page, ftp, quake server, etc... I've been wanting to set up an email server for learning experience; so people could email me [EMAIL PROTECTED] I finally sat down and tried it using postfix, yet I don't have a CLUE what I'm doing! I thought this would be as simple as setting up http; just start the postfix daemon, make sure there is a user account on the server, then just jump on another computer and send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it should automatically appear on my server - right? I can't find squat for online docs (in simple terms at least) and it's just not working the way I expect :-( Help?

Re: [expert] email on home network
personally, i recomand you to use sendmail. its better and simpler for new users. in order to get you mail system running you will need to configure a name and domain for your system. did you do that ? are smtp and pop services installed and running ? are you able to send mail locally inside that machine between users? are you able to send mail to external addresses ? figure those first, and then move on.

Re: [expert] v4l
AWSdS Hi, AWSdS I have a PII 300, 198 Ram, a Studio PCTV pci and a Voodoo3 3000 AWSdS agp. Everything works fine under MDK 8.1. Once I was suggested to add AWSdS load v4l in my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, so I'd be able to see TV via xawtv AWSdS in total full screen mode, since I use 1024x768 resolution. AWSdS However, it didn't work. When I call xawtv, my TV view came out AWSdS of the xawtv window, very messy and my system almost lock, getting very AWSdS slow. AWSdS Without v4l, using mplayer I can see TV in total full screen. So, AWSdS is it a xawtv issue? Or how to fix this problem about load v4l? Any AWSdS suggestion? AWSdS Many thanks in advance, - The correct syntax should be Loadv4l - Have you run v4l-conf ?. Better run it while X-windows is active. Just open a terminal in X and run it, it should define the resolution etc. - Is mplayer changing resolution? The thing in watching full screen, is a limitation of resolution, so mplayer might be changing resolution to let it be played in full screen, and this thing is not what load v4l does. - Xawtv may need some configuration. Guess it must be using Xv. Check the man page for how - This `Load v4l` is not totally supported by all the video cards, though if I remember it right, voodoo is supported.

[expert] depmod: cannot read ELF header after kernel install
I just dl'd kernel-2.4.8-43.1mdk and installed it on two machines. The first was fine. The second did this: # rpm -ivh kernel-2.4.8-34.1mdk.i586.rpm Preparing...### [100%] 1:kernel ### [100%] depmod: cannot read ELF header from /lib/modules/2.4.8-34.1mdk/kernel/fs/nls/nls_iso8859-9.o.gz;3c49434b As the install seemed to have completed I booted the new kernel just to see what would happen, and sure enough it hangs after the initial lilo booting... message. A quick check of the file mentioned in the message shows that it exists, but with 0 bytes and it is the only file in this directory. By contrast, the machine on which the install succeeded has many files in that dir. No problem - I put things back the way they were and everything is fine, but I guess I should be running this updated kernel as it was a security update. Can anyone shed any light?

Re: [expert] email on home network
Whoa! There is a bunch of stuff you gota do before sending and recieving email. First off ya gota get yourself one of them there domain names. Next ya gota setup the dns so that email going to your domain goes to the correct ip plus ya gota set the priority for that mail server ip. If your running Webmin which I would recomend you do go to the postfix server and under general options enter what domain to use in outbound mail and next what domain to recieve mail for. Next on your dsl router map ports 25 and 110 to the machine that is running postfix. Mapping port 110 will alow you to pop mail from outside your network like from work.

[expert] Re: Samba/hwclock -- Samba Time Server Not Right
Andrew, you're not going to believe this, but I think you FIXED IT I have also attached the tcpdump of the Samba restart for you review. Here is what I did: I was working from home on the computer Skyline through 2 SSH windows with Skyline joined as a member of the workgroup at work via a pptp VPN connection. I set up the tcpdump tcpdump -s 1500 -w dumpout From the second SSH session I issued /ect/rc.d/init.d/smb restart Then from a dos window issued the net time \\nemesis /yes command. To my great surprise and great delight, the following was returned: C:\WINDOWSnet time \\nemesis Current time at \\NEMESIS is 1-19-2002 9:52A.M.(CORRECT!!!) The command was completed successfully. Now this is just my guess at what my problem was -- please look at the dump to confirm. I think I know what happened. The last time samba was restarted was when we took the last lightning hit (before the UPS) which happened: [root@Nemesis david]# uptime 10:07am up 208 days, 19:46, 1 user, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 days ago. When samba was started the localtime softlink was not set. Samba was oblivious to the tz variable and since I haven't restarted samba for 208 days it didn't matter what I did with the localtime link because samba never saw it. When you had me resart samba to get the tcpdump this morning, the localtime link was properly set and bingo samba became aware of the tz setting and now is serving the correct time!! I think the moral to this story is -- If you change the localtime soflink or change the tz variable YOU HAVE TO RESTART SAMBA. If this is really the case, this would make a great addition to the samba docs and the hwclock man page. Take a look at the tcpdump output (attached) and see if my guess at what happened makes sense! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! Now, I think I'm just going to go back and issue the net time command about 50 more times just to delight in the fact that it is giving me the correct time.

[expert] net_monitor
Hi, i was not very satisfied with the ISDN Internet configuration of MDK 8.1. It's unaccaptable to give every user the root passwort just to connect the internet. The correct way is probaly to set up PAM to allow net_monitor for internet users. I have no idea how ti configure PAM and used sudo insted. Secondly the connections timeout doesn't work because some program or deamon makes continious DNS calls to www.mandrakesoft.com. I stopped all programs but the problem persists until i configured /etc/hosts with www.mandrakesoft.com. It may be something of my GNOME Desktop. My target is to configure my ISDN connection that it starts net_monitor if anny program wants internet access. But net_monitor should only make a connection if the user wants it. If the user decides to have a connection, net_monitor starts a dial on demand connection which drops the line after some time and restarts it if some program needs it. If net_monitor stopps than the connection drops permanently, which means no net_monitor no internet. But now to my problem with the net_monitor(.real) script. It looks really nice for the user but is in perl which makes it hardly readable for me. I can start it but it doesn't create an internet connection because it thinks it is connected. [root@zesi lib]# net_monitor --connect [1] 2962 [root@zesi lib]# isdnctrl status ippp0 ippp0: No such device I can create a connection with the net_cnx_(up|down) scripts but it returns two errors.

[expert] ReiserFS problem ('Analyzing journal..Segmentation fault')
Hello everybody,
Got a ReiserFS problem after a very bad shutdown (power loss), on a
LM8.1 box: can't boot anymore in 'normal' mode. I think it's due to the
/var which cant be fixed by reiserfsck.
I can boot in failsafe mode, but it crashes with a 'Unable to handle
NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0018' message after some
/var's files access.
In rescue mode, the /dev/hdc5 (/var) can't be checked nor fixed by
reiserfsck. Whatever option of reiserfsck I use, (even --rebuild-tree),
I got a segfault while analysing journal ('Analyzing
journal..Segmentation fault').
This fs can be mounted, but unmount allways fails and ends up with a
nice crash!
Really annoying... it's my prod box and it's time to work (it's allways
time to work ;-))
Any tip 'd be appreciated, so thanks in advance guys!

I could say use XFS but the same sort of problem can occur. _NO_
filesystem is proof against a power-down while the machine is writing to
disk(which always has the potential of destroying a low-level format).
I have seen Reiser do this more frequently than most others, but the
answer is to restore from your backup. (Well a filesystem consisting of
a chisel, hammer and stone tablets might be somewhat more secure ...)
And if you have at least a CDRW, you can backup rather simply, using
scdbackup. Bulk CD-Rs are about $.33 US each.
Naturally, I back up only my work files, usually /home, /etc, and /var...

[expert] Monitor Refresh Control
I have a monitor that should work OK at 70 Hz refresh, but doesn't. It works fine at 60. drakxconf doesn't know about the monitor fault and sets /etc/XF96Config-4 to 70 and 1024 x 768. I can't seem to spot a way to change refresh in Mandrake Control Center either. How to I force X to use 60 Hz refresh for both 1024 X 768, 800 X 600 640 X 480 modes? -- Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labor in vain.

[expert] PCI GeForce2 cards
I have an intel SR440bx motherboard which came with an nVidia Riva TNT chipset on-board. Recently I've decided it's just too out-dated for me and was thinking of buying a GeForce2mx PCI card (as I don't have an AGP slot). Has anyone used on of these in Linux? does it work ok with the nVidia drivers from the website? I already have the nVidia drivers working for my current chipset, so I'm hoping I can drop this card in with a minimum of fuss. Any thoughts, recomendations?
