[expert] Mail server
Hi all, that friend of my, is wanting to setup a mailserver, on his gateway machine. I use postfix here, which I dont think has any POP retrieval facilities. He wants to be able to run it on his firewall/gateway machine and pull all his mail from the ISP's POP server on to it, then POP it down to individual machines on the LAN.. As I'm going to have to go over there and set up, I'd like some guidance which packages to use. I'd like to get it working first time if possible. As I'm starting to get very fed up with this guy chanting " its easier in windows" or "the documentation with Mandrake is crap" He's been using linux now for 2 weeks, and my phone is ringing much more than it should. Moans like theres nothing in the Mandrake book on setting up Ximian Evolution...as I pointed out to him if its packaged with an OS it dosn't mean the supplier of the OS has to document how to use it. I know he's been and bought a copy of Suse 8.2, and chanting away how good their documentation is compared to Mandrake. well if he installs that G crap , he can do battle with YAST as I certainly wont. OK that a bit of background into why I need to get this damn mail server sorted, without apparent hassle.

There's the ntfs support, which would be useful, against the better drivers for older peripherals, which again many find useful. It may be that they have to have separate products to deal with both needs. I haven't seen any statement about how they intend to develop the product, but with the move to better directx support they seem to be looking at gamers.

My understanding is that the problem is ntfs support in the linux kernel as they use this to access rather than a translation layer. I've been using Win4Lin since pre 1.0 days and love it. I do agree for the need to get beyond ME though. However the most advanced windows I own is 98 *grin*. As for VMWare. They picked me off when I had a download version (with a real serial number bought and paid for) and then when I tried to get a copy of my serial through them (lost during a HDD crash ) they just told me "tough luck buy a new copy) the Win4Lin people on the other hand gave me my number.

Re: [expert] web mail server
Hi Mate, actually - I'd propose the use of squirrelmail in conjunction with the cyrus-Imap/Sasl-auth server. Works like a charm - once you set up the sasl part ;) Cyrus has an administration console - and once you got used to it - it's very handy to use.

Re: [expert] Mail server
Yep - that would be the easy way to set it up. Actually - it works out of the Box for postfix and pop3. Just make sure you enable the localdomain to receive and send Mails. The $HOME/.fetchmailrc should have the following: poll mail.server.bla protocol pop3 user , with password "", is [EMAIL PROTECTED] here In the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file - add the following line: # Starting fetchmail for different users su -c "fetchmail -d 900 --syslog" This line will start the fetchmail-process to get the mails all 900s/15minutes. You can decrease the time if you want. Note that I used dau as username for the examples. localdomain is the valid domain the Mailsserver will accept mAILS. For pop3 to work - you have make sure the xinetd-daemon has the pop3/imap servers enabled in the config-files: /etc/xinetd.d/imap /etc/xinetd.d/imaps /etc/xinetd.d/ipop2 /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 /etc/xinetd.d/pop3s That's mainly it ...

My advice would be to ditch DHCP; you might get it to work after fiddling around some more, but why bother? In my opinion it is unnecessary on a network with only two or three boxes.

[expert] Using the TWiki
It has been pointed out that using the TWiki is very different from using web pages, php, etc., and requires a very different approach. In view of this, here are a few pointers. Forgive me if they are too obvious, but I'm just aiming at getting people started. How to find an entry? Two possible approaches: 1. Using the index link on the blue bar will give you an overview of the organisation. However, it doesn't give you any idea of the sort of entry you will find there. For instance, you can't immediately tell that HardwareCompatibility is just that - a list of our experiences compatibility-wise - whereas HardwareIssues is intended to address particular configuration problems and workarounds. 2. By searching. The Go on the top bar will only help you if you know the exact name of the entry. Otherwise, use Quick Search (bottom right), which will give you a list of entries that refer to your specific search words. How to make an entry? You would be well to read and maybe print out the entry ConTributing. Here you will find details of how to add an entry to a page, how and where to create a new page, and the main commands you need for formatting. None of it is difficult - there's very little to learn, it's just that it is 'different'. HTH Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?

Dhcp works good too,,, but my bet would be your problem is in the gateway statement make sure you have gateway set on your ME machine to be the IP of the linux servers eth0 card, and to be 0.0.0.0 for the box doing the dialup, as the gateway will change as soon as ppp starts a connection and gets and IP from the ISP servers. > If you set > up a hosts file then you make DNS setup easier, since both boxes can use the > ISP servers for external addresses, and hosts files for anything local. > > HTH > > (I never had any problem with ME, when it was on my laptop, but the people on > the tech-support forum I frequent hate it with a passion.) -- ++ Mandrake HowTo's & More: http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have had the same prob before, some tapes have a bad sig/noise ratio or use shorter gaps between songs (or as in the old Chicago soundtrack I did recently, some songs had no gaps at all). My answer was to split the tracks manually, and I feathered the sound at the end of each track down to 0 to make it sound better.. it worked great. but no software can find the endpoint of all songs if the original has non standard gaps or the sig level is such that the app can't tell where the song stops, you don't have much choice but to do it manually. rgds Franki Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I have not, but you should check the forum posts at his website to see if
anybody else has experienced this. You might also consider e-mailing him
directly or posting in his forum, as he may be able to provide more help. He

I still recommend 98 for home use and 2k for anything else - if you're going to go mickeysoft.

I understand this too. Did you register your product with them? That's especially bad if they don't help you out after that. I know that most large companies are going to be this way, so I try to prepare in advance for possibility. I burn extra copies of the software and copy the key to other locations.

And a hurt keyboard :) Use repeat commands 72i- will insert a row of - characters, for instance. If you prefix a number before a command, vi will repeat that command the specified number of times. For instance, 10j will move the cursor down 10 lines. To delete the line you are on, use 'd$' (delete to end of line) rather than hitting the delete or backspace keys a number of times.

Using the 0.70 under 9.2rc2 is not so complicated; you need to install tk; under 9.2 the lib created is libtk8.4.so; so you can go to /usr/lib/ (cd...) and create a soft link: ln -s libtk8.4.so libtk8.3.so.

I would agree with this completely. Even at the office with only 10 comps I don't use a local dns but do use dhcp for the laptops bring in and out on the wireless. In winders look for the file hosts.sam cp it to hosts, edit, and even win98 can do this level of hostname resolution. DHCP has it's place but it's hardly a requirement.

You have wine installed don't you? Reason I'm asking.
http://www.winehq.org/hypermail/wine-bugs/2002/08/0154.html
Seems like all of kdelibs didn't get installed. Here locally I did
urpmi --auto --auto-select
and kde went in with only one very minor hitch. The same one I always
have with texstar's rpms for kde. I had to move artswrapper to suid
and all was well. Greg is right about posting this on the kde-3.1.4
thread on Texstar's site. He's really good about helping in cases like
this.

I sent some large print jobs from kword to my usb printer. Just before the end of the first one the printer stopped. I can't get it working again. I have tried deleting all jobs from the print queue, but every time I try to send a job it says 'Media Tray may be empty' - which it isn't. Any ideas, anyone?

Re: [expert] Sound card
Greetings Gurus and mega intelligent beings Still got problems with this one. First of all the modules wer'nt loaded, so I manually loaded all the required OSS modules. Partial success got some sound...some ! so then ran draksound which preferred the Alsa modules so I let it load them, and again some sound. I ran modprobe and all the alsa modules listed below are there. BUT no audio playback from the CD , yes the cable is connected. and the audio in win4lin is also non functional. Its not a duff sound card as it works with winXP.. fingers down throat ! Just to make it worse, grotty pheonix bios dos'nt allow the onboard card to be disabled, so I cant just throw in a nice soundblaster or similar. suggestions please TIA Richard On Tue, 2003-09-30 at 08:50, Joachim v.

If you are wanting to build the rpm for use on 9.2, I have attached a spec which will do so. To build you will need the gaim-0.7.0 src and the gaim-encryption-2.14 src. Also of note is the fact that it will be built without tcl/tk enabled as gaim requires tcl-8.3 and 9.2 ships with 8.4 BTW, if there is a desire from others I might be prevailed upon to upload gaim-0.7.0-0.1cae.i586.rpm to my website Charles -- Whatever it is, I fear Greeks even when they bring gifts. -- Publius Vergilius Maro (Virgil) - Mandrake Linux 9.2 on PurpleDragon Kernel-2.4.22-10.tmb.4mdkenterprise http://www.eslrahc.com - gaim.spec.tar.bz2 Description: Binary data pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

[expert] Getting rid of ¨Remember last session¨
Hello This is probably a silly question but here it is ... I want to turn off the option that makes KDE to remember what I did on the previous session. Actually KDE doesn't remember exactly what I did, it always opens some konqueror windows, a root command (asking for password) and three terminal sessions. I want to get rid of them.

This is the vi editor operating on /etc/sudoers. Press 'I' to insert some text and, since I have done this for me, and not wanting to give a password when I call adsl-start, you might want to insert something like the following if you want that: rolfALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/adsl-start, /usr/sbin/adsl-stop, /usr/bin/rdate and so forth. I put it right under root's line. To save, press 'Escape' and type :wq The command to execute is sudo /usr/sbin/adsl-start, for example. I create an icon on the desktop with that as the command to execute. Rolf Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

(even though I don't have gnomemeeting to test this theory.) If you do ls -l on /dev/video0 you will find that it is owned by your username and group sys. It sounds like gnomemeeting is running as a different user/group and therefore can't access properly the device. On a MDK system root is allowed to overide this and can access the device. On a whim try as a user running xhost + localhost as your user then starting gnomemeeting and see if the error goes away. This might do it but I'm not sure. James PS decided to check xhost didn't work got around it by using Picture instead of /dev/video0 don't have a camera but it was able to test good.

[expert] Hyperthreading and Mandrake 9.1
Hi! I have a Mandrake 9.1 box running on an Intel Pentium 4 with Hyperthreading. When I installed Mandrake it correctly identified my hyperthreading capabilities and installed the smp version of the operating system and defaults to that version in lilo. When I permit the system to boot with that default it goes through a page or two of the loading process ultimately crashing with a kernel panic which states that it can't find the init and suggests that I boot with an init= statement. I have checked lilo.conf and verified that the initrd setting is for the smp image and that the file which is referenced is actually present on my harddrive. I have also edited the initrd setting to point directly to the mdksmp img instead of the more general img file but the system behaves in exactly the same way no matter which initrd img I specify. I would like to take advantage of the hyperthreading capabilities of my chip and I was wondering if someone knows the magic boot parameters that I need to smooth this out. I read the article in LinuxWorld Magazine and added the acpismp=force statement to my append line in lilo but that doesn't make any difference. Mandrake 9.1 has a kernel that is greater than 2.4.18 and it is supposed to support hyperthreading. I have verfied that hyperthreading is turned on in my bios. I would really appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to find a solution. Thanks.

[expert] Trying to get a IDE Onstream 30GB tape drive working
Hello, I'm trying to get a IDE OnStream 30GB tape drive working with LM 9.0. I found some docs that said that kudzu would auto install the drive under Redhat 2.4.x kernels, but 9.0 doesn't seem to have that. I did install harddrake, but it just comes up with a black screen for about 5 secs when it runs, and I don't have any tape devices (or even a hdc device) in my /dev directory. The website for this company doesn't seem to be coming up, either. Anyone using one of these? Help! Bob Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
