Re: [expert] smtp(s) from outside the network...
What you want to look into is the mynetworks line in /etc/postfix/main.cf. If not set, postfix will (only) accept smtp relay from clients on the same subnet. Add all the clent's ip address you want to do smtp relay from to this line, eg. "mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8, 192.168.0.0/8, and whatever other ip" If you get random ip when connect from outside your home network, you want to look into pop-before-smtp solution. Also, check with ordb.org so your server won't be victim of ube. Robin On Sun, 2002-04-28 at 21:28, Ric Tibbetts wrote: > Hi Kevin; > Thanks for the response.

You need to make an initrd image if you want to use a journalling f/s for root, and you have to make sure that your bootloader (lilo or grub) is aware of it and uses it. The reason is that the modules for these f/s's are not in the kernel itself and need to be retrieved/loaded from the initrd (RAM image). Without a valid initrd, you will get those kernel panics. If you setup the filesystems during install, the appropriate options should be added to your bootloader menu and the initrd should be created. -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.18-6.4mdksecure uptime: 19 hours 47 minutes. msg53239/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
[expert] vmware with secure kernel
Has anyone gotten vmware to compile modules for the secure kernel in 8.2/cooker yet? It's complaining that the source in /usr/src/linux/include is different from the running kernel (ie. 2.4.18-6.4mdk vs. 2.4.18-6.4mdksecure). So I try to build the modules manually, in /usr/lib/vmware/modules, as this worked well for me with 8.1 when it wasn't building properly, but now when I run vmware-config.pl it doesn't find any suitable drivers and I've tried saving them as up-2.4.18-6.4mdksecure-8.2, smp-*, and even secure-*, with the SMP option enabled in the properties file because it looks as though the secure kernels are built for SMP. On another note, is there a performance hit on a single CPU system running the secure kernel with SMP code enabled? -- MandrakeSoft Security; http://www.mandrakesecure.net/ "lynx -source http://www.freezer-burn.org/bios/vdanen.gpg | gpg --import" 1024D/FE6F2AFD 88D8 0D23 8D4B 3407 5BD7 66F9 2043 D0E5 FE6F 2AFD Current Linux kernel 2.4.18-6.4mdksecure uptime: 20 hours 11 minutes. msg53240/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

I have tried every combination of resolution/color depth but X still won't start. Under 3.3.6 I get the fatal error "no screens found" Under 4, I don't get the no screen, but I get a similar error. (I'll check when I get home) What is strange is that it all works great under LM7.2, but won't start under 8.2. Any suggestions on what I should try?

I'm getting a lot of buggy problems in Mandrake 8.2 and I'm seriously thinking of switching from Mandrake 8.2 to Redhat 7.2 because I have a lot of work to do and I don't have time for this.

Hey guys, just to clarify, these guys were giving away 10 celeron CPUs and 1 Xeon CPU per school and the school provided the rest (Mobo, mem, case, etc) for a server and 10 X terminals using the K12's distro. Last week i think MS decided that they weren't confident about the schools WINDOWS COMPUTERS and wanted an audit of as computers running WINDOWS OS for pirated software. They said either perform and audit in a month, give us half a million, or pay for _US_ (MS) to do an audit. just asking for a school to audit their software is not a bad thing. schools need to follow the law. but it's (at a minimum) plain wrong to demand $500,000 if they can't do it in a month. how do you spell 'extortion'? it is supposed to be just a coincidence that this is the same isd that is supposed to deploy linux soon (not by next month). ya know, if MS had multi-user permissions in 95, 98 etc, maybe they wouldn't have to worry about students installing pirated software on the computers. yes, I know, xp has multi user stuff...maybe that's what the .5 mil is for. maybe this is why my ISD didn't budge on this, they didn't want an audit. -- Jason Guidry http://www.gmaestro.org -- Jason Guidry http://www.gmaestro.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] What worked in 8.1 and does not in 8.2
Hi, After the first initial positive impression of 8.2 and KDE 3.0 I start being annoyed about things that worked in 8.1 but don't work in 8.2 (same hardware of course). Let me give 2 exemples: 1. EURO sign In 8.1 I had to tweak /etc/sysconfig/i18n to get the EURO sign working in all apps including text based apps like mc. This doesn't work anymore in 8.2. With german locale and default charset set to 8859-15 I get the EURO sign in all HTML-based apps like Konqueror, Mozilla, and Galeon and also in OpenOffice (that's where I need it most) but not in Kwrite, Kate, or any text based apps. If I use the tweak propagated on MandrakeUser.org (de_DE@EURO) I cannot start OpenOffice because I get an error: 'OpenOffice does not support locale entry LANG=de_DE@EURO. Closed.' I could not get the EURO sign working in XEmacs in 8.2 and *that* has not changed in 8.2! Would have been surprised, though 2. Sound Now this IS annoying! I have a notebook with the infamous SiS 630 chipset but I got sound working (alsa) in 8.1. Now, with the same settings it just sits there and is quiet as a fish. It gives no errors in the logs and alsa gets started without error. I also checked the mixer settings (alsamixer) but no sound. It looked like it was with 8.1, 'play foo.wav' looked like it is playing the file but no sound. In 8.1 I changed the mixer settings through alsamixer and that was it. But not in 8.2. modules.conf: -- alias usb-interface usb-ohci alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-trident above snd-card-trident snd-pcm-oss alias eth0 sis900 aplay /usr/share/sounds/scream.wav Aplay: version 0.5.10 by Jaroslav Kysela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Using soundcard 'SiS 7018 PCI Audio at 0xd400, irq 11' Playing WAVE '/usr/share/sounds/scream.wav' : Unsigned 8-bit, Rate 11025Hz, Mono and then: quiet.

Supposedly this is because the site uses some javascript that "doesn't work in Netscape and some other browsers", but I'd be surprised if Galeon couldn't handle it.

Has anyone here ever did some IT work for our government? The .gov domain is ran entirely on NT/2000 servers across a Cisco backbone. Now this really makes a lot of sense (sarcasm). Our government puts up a feckless fight in court while all the time using Microsoft crap. Go figure Dr John, The Night Tripper Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Dell Inspiron 8200??
Hi, Has anyone had much experience with the Dell 8200 (or even the 8100) on Linux Mandrake? I am about to purchase one and need to determine which hardware components to specify. I have heard Lucent internal modems can work with Linux - is this true? What about the Ethernet card - will 3COM internal cards work? And the sound? They will supply a Crystal (Cyrus Logic?) CS4205 internal sound card chipset (apparently partly software driven?) - this looks like a bit of a concern too. Any ideas very welcome!!!
