[expert] iptables and msn messenger

2003-11-09 Thread Leonardo
I'm currently running a server who shares a adsl connection (masquerade nat)
without any problems.
But users inside the network are complaining that they can't use msn
messenger's voice chat feature.

I've googled and found out some ports to be open. I opened them but voice
still doesn't seems to work, although file transfers using messenger are now
working fine (it wasn't working with ports closed).

Any suggestions to enable my users to use voice chat? (iptables | mdk9.0)

Cheers,
Leonardo Sá

I don't want to use webmin for this because people that will use it are
not very used to *nix systems, so i must do something very simple.

i just want to add users (and remove them) to my mail system

thanks for the suggestion :)

So, i just need to figure out a way to add new users to my system via
the web. I'll try to research it by myself, but if someone has ideas,
please let me know.

i'm planning to do a mail user management (like to add and remove mail
users, but only mail users) via the web using apache. I know that
postfix can use mysql (and mysql records can be added via web using php)
to authenticate it's users but i don't have any ideas on how to create
new users for imap (imap-2000a) access.

Any ideas?

I think it will be easier to downgrade back to 1.5 but thanks for the
suggestion :)

So, is sasl2 useless in 9.1? It will be fixed in 9.2?

[expert] postfix and sasl2

2003-10-03 Thread Leonardo
i've upgraded my server box from 9.0 to 9.1 and then i lost sasl
authentication. I was using sasldb with postfix in 9.0 and everything
was working fine. Now I can only get a "535 Error: authentication
failed" on my postfix server. 

I've read somewhere that the postfix rpm that comes with mandrake is
compiled to use sasl instead of sasl2. Is it true? 

I've tried everything i know. I also tried using pwcheck_method: auxprop
but postfix does not recognize this method (i got this in my logs:
"postfix/smtpd[16528]: warning: SASL authentication problem:
unrecognized plaintext verifier auxprop").

I need to downgrade my rpms to get things working again? If not, what do
I do now?

Cheers,
Leonardo Sá

My mdk9.0 server was running fine (almost fine, it had some freezing problems

Nothing was working. Even Ctrl+C or ctrl+alt+del wasn't working. What does

Thanks for the comments.

So, will lm_sensors and memtest86 solve my problems? The motherboard is pretty 
old so i don't know if it has sensors on it...

The only memory test i know is memtest86. If someone has a better one
please let me know.

[expert] strange freezing

2003-06-20 Thread Leonardo
I have a mdk9.0 server running apache, mysql, postfix and mailman. It's a 
400mbram 333mhz celeron. After running very well for 2 or 3 days, it suddenly 
freezes. I can't even logout and log in again. The terminal and the famous 
ctrl+alt+del also doesn't work.

So, when I reboot everything goes back to normal, but it freezes again in 2 or 
3 days. What is happenning?
