Re: [expert] kmail bug

I've actually installed the complete system 3 times as I play wiht install parameters before finally getting what I wanted on the current install, and with each install I am having the same kmail crashes so I don't think it is something with the install itself. Must be something with your particular setup. I was a KMail user a while bck, but used pine for a long time. Went back to try kmail with the 1.1.99 version with mdk7.2 and it's been reliable...

Re: [expert] lpr disfunctional

I went back to lpd for printing, which meant changing many of the symbolic links in the /etc/alternatives directory and using something like linuxconf to configure the printer rather than cups type tools. It now works, tho kmail won't print, which is a pain. But at least most other apps work as they should... Anyone know How to get kmail printing with lpd :-) tim -- - Tim Therese Fairchild Atchafalaya Border Collies.

Re: [expert] telnet failure
On Monday 22 January 2001 10:12, you wrote: Unless you chose the "server" install, by default Mandrake doesn't install the telnet server. Or any servers for that matter. Actually this is not correct. True - inetd must be assigned a run level but from the above responses - OBVIOUSLY tcp (telnet) services are installed. Afterall - I can telnet OUT but some weir'ed Mandrake'ism is preventing the connection inbound The telnet daemon is a separate install in mdk... just install the rpm.

Re: [expert] SAMBA Printer problem on Private network - IPCHAINS denies access?
On Saturday 20 January 2001 14:49, you wrote: I have a Private network (192.168.99) which I am using IPCHAINS in order to gain access through my Linux Server to the internet. The Problem is when I attempt to Print to the LP on the Linux Server (everything else in SAMBA/Linux appears to be working- authentication .), when I connect to the printer the Network gets locked up. Here's what I see: I don't think samba or the printer have anything to do with ipchains... ie My gateway box, samba server, printer server was doing the samba thing and printer server well before I got around to getting ipchains going... So I don't know why it would shutdown the network?? Seems strange. Hope there's an expert out there :-) I do have some questions tho as I'm real new to ipchains and stuff... # ipchains -L Chain input (policy ACCEPT): target prot opt sourcedestination ports DENY all l- laptop3.abs-comptech.com anywhere n/a what does this line do? Just curious. Chain forward (policy DENY): target prot opt sourcedestination ports MASQ all -- 192.168.99.0/24 anywhere n/a MASQ all -- 192.168.99.0/24 anywhere n/a And why are there two identical lines here??? If I do an ipchains -L I just get the one line much like these - likewise I just have a simple gateway. I don't see why there are two lines? Also what does the samba printer config look like? I assume you are printing from a win box? what linux is running on the gateway? I am running mdk 7.0 on the gateway and 7.2 on the workstations - which is giving me the shits... tim -- - Tim Therese Fairchild Atchafalaya Border Collies.
