[expert] pam winbind and wu-imap....
Hi all, I have setup samba with winbind and pam. After successfully joining the domain I can loginto my Mandrake 9.0 box as a windows NT 4.0 domain user and it authenticates to the NT 40 box and creates the users home dir. i did this by editing the /etc/pam.d/login file and adding these lines: authsufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so account sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so sessionrequired /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 This works great. But this is going to be a mail server so I need to have the user dirs created when they loginto imap. So i edited the /etc/pam.d/imap file like this: auth required /lib/security/pam_winbind.so auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth accountrequired /lib/security/pam_winbind.so accountrequired /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth sessionrequired /lib/security/pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 And restart xinetd but the users dirs arn't created?

Re: [expert] choosing a firewall distro
IPCop is a fork of SmoothWall .99. Either one is good. However IPCop uses a 2.4.20 kernel and smoothwall still uses a 2.2 kernel. Also IPCop can save your configuration on a floppy, so if you have to reinstall you can use the disk for quick recovery without having to remember your settings. For me that feature alone makes IPCop better. :^) Ralph On Tuesday 15 July 2003 12:13 pm, Gavin wrote: > Experts, > Most of my friends have suggested using IPCOP or SMOOTHWALL for my f/w. > question, is there a noticeable difference between the two?

Re: [expert] "Open relay" using Postfix. Need config help.
'netstat -napt' doesn't reveal anything odd. Ok so when I have smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_mynetworks, check_recepient_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, check_relay_domains It will relay for any host. Even if the /etc/postfix/access is empty (no IP addresses). I thought that the "/etc/postfix/access" files list of address would only permit those machines to relay e-mail??? Is this right??

Verry true. I like mandrake alot. I use it for almost everything except my laptop. I like to use the latest stuff on it and not have to worry about when or if a new release is comming out.

Re: [expert] suspend mode to save energy
Recompiling your kernel is not so bad. Actualy it gives you the chance to remove alot of features you don't need and also allows you to change the architecture to your specific architecture = faster leaner kernel. Besides you need to learn to compile your kernel sometime.

Re: [expert] suspend mode to save energy
Once you recompile the kernel i'm not sure about the commands but in KDE you will see an icon in the system tray, if you right click on it you can control the ACPI functions. HOWEVER in the 2.4.20 kernel that I'm using suspend/standby are not currently supported. Now I'm not positave if it is KDE that does not support this or the kernel. I think it's the kernel. the 2.5 beta kernel is suposed to have much more complete support.

A stoc mandrake 9.0 kernel does not have support for ACPI compiled in. You have to recompile your kernel and add ACPI support.

Re: [expert] PHP 4.3.0 or 4.3.1
Hello Laurent, This is a source RPM. You need to cp php-4.3.1-9mdk.src.rpm /usr/src/RPM/SRPMS/php-4.3.1-9mdk.src.rpm and: cd /usr/src/RPM/SRPMS/ rpm -rebuild php-4.3.1-9mdk.src.rpm then wait for it to rebuild. the new rpm will be put into your /usr/src/RPM/RPMS/i586. And then you can install it in the usual way.

[expert] MDK 9.0 Beta3 "no sound".
Hi all, I just installed 9.0 Beta3 and my sound system is not setup. When I first started KDE I had no sound so I went to the control panel (KDE's control panel) and found I hade to turn on the arts sound server, so I did and restarted KDE and then got an arts error message saying "Cannot open /dev/dsp (no sush file or directory).". I'm using a SB Live sound card that was setup during the install and worked great in 9.0 Beta2. It would be cool to fix but I just wanted to let Mandrake know about the problem. One other suggestion. The newly designed software management tools (the instalation tool) try's to access my cdrom for something like 30 seconds before doing any thing Stop this!! Don't even check to see if there is a cdrom in the drive, after the selections are made for software to be installed then check, and eject the disk tray, or dont even check if there is a disk in the drive just eject the disk tray. This would be much better than waiting fot it to check the drive before anything is even selected for instalation. IMO Ralph Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [expert] 8.2 P166 and P200.....
It fails after Lilo is loaded. After the boot loader screen is loaded (and you have the chance to select Linux-Secure, Linux, Failsafe) when Linux-Secure is selected it gets about this far: Loading Linux-Secure... and then the system reboots.

[expert] 8.2 P166 and P200.....
Hi all, I have an older machine that I use as a firewall, it is a P166 with 64MB ram and a 6Gig HD. I am trying to upgrade it from SNF7.2 to SNF8.2. I installed MDK 8.2 with the minimum install as suggested from the mailing lists and it installs with no problems but on upon boot it will not boot with the secure kernel? I have the same problem with another P166 with 128MB ram and a P200 with 64MB ram. The first machine I metioned will not boot at all, while the other two will boot the standard and failsafe images just not the secure kernel Any ideas why this might be??

[expert] 8.1, What happend!!!
I was excited to download the new Mandrake as this is the OS I use. During the install the only problem I had was with the printer, which was odd because with 8.1 RC1 I had fsantastic results, my EPSON 860 never looked beter with 1400 DPI. When I selected the printer and then set the resolution to 1400 DPI all was fine but the test page hung putting the printer into a state of contenuees motion but nothing being done. I contenued on with the rest of the install with the printer in this state. After the install was complete and while the machine was rebooting I shut off the printer removed the page and reset it. When the machine was booted the print job was resumed and the printer started printing "goblede gook" page after page. I tried to clear the que several different ways, until I had to delete the the files from the spool dir manualy turn off the printer and restart cups. I then uninstalled the cups_drivers and installed the ones from RC1. Had the same problem. I then reinstalled cups and support rpm's from RC1 and still had the same problem. This is a serious flaw within this distro not to mention that supermount is not implamented! I also have an NVIDIA video card that worked just fine with 8.0 but the drivers don't compile in 8.1!! I have used Mandrake since 6.0 and I am extreamly dissapointed with this effort. Sloppy work, they got into to much of a hurry to put this one out. This is a Microsoft thing to do! I normaly tout this distro but what ever you do DONT PAY A DIME FOR THIS VERSION!!! Looking for a new distro to recomend to all customers currently about 4 offices about ten servers running Mandrake.

Re: [expert] RC1 Apache question
Yea I have the same problem. This is the question I mailed out: ( After a fresh install of Mandrake 8.0 Apache doesnt work? All is running though I can stop and start it with no errors from the terminal and from Webmin with no problems. I just can't view any pages? I haven't made any config changes yet. Has anyone else had this problem? Dose anyone know how to fix it? ) I guess we will have to compile and install everything by hand, I wish I had a script to do all for me ie. Apache, PHP, openssl, mod_ssl and MySQL with symlinks and all.
