RE: [expert] apache and imap configuration
Your system is probably already set up to do this, but with the public_html directory. Look for the UserDir directive in your httpd.conf file, and modify it according to your needs. Don't forget to restart Apache after you've made your changes. # UserDir: The name of the directory which is appended onto a user's home # directory if a ~user request is recieved.

RE: [expert] IP ranges
To accomplish want you want to do, you need to subnet the 192.168.0.0 address space. Unfortunately, one cannot simply choose ranges at "random" but rather is bound to follow the rules of binary math. You might try this to get close to the ranges you would like: Create a subnet with 2 networks - this will give you 64 hosts on each network, with addresses in the range 192.168.0.64 - 192.168.0.127 and 192.168.0.128 - 192.168.0.191 You would set this up as such: 192.168.0.64/255.255.255.192 (/26) 192.168.0.128/255.255.255.192 (/26) This means that you would also have to change the subnet masks of each of your client machines. It is also possible to get closer to the original ranges you mentioned, but that would require even more subnets.

Re: [expert] FTP port range
> check /etc/services > ftp-data20/tcp > ftp 21/tcp What about the upper port ranges it can use (ie when the PORT command is issued)? Active ftp doesn't work at all behind my firewall, and only works from the firewall itself now that I've opened up ports 1024 - 65000. Tim

[expert] Sendmail & Mailing Lists
Hi, I am trying to get a simple mailing list program (minimalist) installed on my 6.1 system. The program's documentation illustrates a technique to discover the EUID/EGID of my MTA program (sendmail) in order to get proper permissions set on some of the program's files. However, when I follow the instructions (it involves setting up an alias that creates a file on my system), I get the following error: sh: tee not available for sendmail programs 554 "|tee /tmp/mtaid.tst"... Service unavailable I once tried setting up BeroList, and received a very similar error message. I checked the permissions on tee, and they're 755, ownership root.root Please help! Tim
Re: [expert] RPMs and New Kernels
Hi Adam, You'll need to modify /etc/lilo.conf to point to the new kernel. THe line you'll need to modify will look something like this: image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15mdk In this case, change 2.2.5-15mdk to 2.2.13-22mdk. If you have a SCSI based system, you'll also need to modify the initrd line, as well as create a new initrd file with "mkinitrd /boot/[initrd file name] 2.2.13-22mdk" Then run lilo - if it doesn't report any errors, you're ready to go!

Re: [expert] FTPd configuration
Hi Derek, The FTP server should already be configured to do this...at least it was for me.

Re: [expert] A script to discover IP?
Thanks for your help, Ramon. I now have a script that emails me only the assigned IP address - took a while to get the parsing right! A couple more questions, if you don't mind: 1. Is there a way to pipe the contents of a file into the subject line when using the "mail" command? I would like the designated IP address to show up as the subject, if possible. 2. I am using "pump" to retrieve my DHCP info, and am doing so on the @HOME network. I have read documentation stating that pump will contact the DHCP server every 3 hours to try to renew the lease - any idea where this gets called from? I would like the script to run every time the lease is renewed. Thanks again for your help, and any more you (or anyone else!) can provide. Tim
[expert] A script to discover IP?
Hi, Just wondering if anyone more familiar with shell programming than I had any ideas how to write a script that would take a client's IP address (as assigned by a DHCP server) and email to a user? I have recently configured my system as a DHCP client, and would like such a script, to avoid having to log on to my firewall machine and run ifconfig. Any ideas? TIA Tim
RE: [expert] My default gateway has disappeared!
Sorry, I should have been more specific.

[expert] Samba strangeness
Hi, My machine has recently gone insane, and now samba is behaving strangely. When I boot the system, it fails to start NMB services (SMB services are ok) - so, I once the system is up , I try to manually start samba (/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start) and both SMB and NMB start successfully. Why would this be occurring, and what can I do to ensure NMB starts upon boot? I have uninstalled and re-installed samaba. TIA TIm
[expert] Trouble with SparQ drive
Hi, I'm not sure if my previous posting made it to the list, so here it is again. If this is a repeat, my apologies. I have recently had to move my SparQ drive to another machine, and now when I issue the command "modprobe pd" (after having issued "modprobe paride" then "modprobe epat"), I receive the following error message: /lib/modules/2.2.5-15/misc/pd.o: init_module: Device or resource busy What does this mean, and how do I fix it?

Re: [expert] fix for missing pixmaps in KFM
I ran into a similar problem when installing WebMaker under Mandrake6.0...in previous versions, all shared pixmaps etc. were located in the /opt/share directory structure. Now everything is in /usr/share. I "solved" my problem by copying /opt/share to /usr/share - maybe that's what's needed here?

Re: [expert] Dynamic DNS (slightly off topic)
Hi Stephen, I use dhs.org myself, and have never had any problems with it (I have more problems with my ISP). dhs.org provides dynamic IP mapping free of charge, allows you to setup multiple hosts and provides wildcard matching as well (eg ftp.yourdomain.dhs.org, www.yourdomain.dhs.org). You can check it out at http://www.dhs.org Tim Howell On Sun, 10 Oct 1999, Stephen Carville wrote: > Now that I have a static IP address and DSL, I would like to set up > with one of those dynamic DNS services.
