Re: sendmail only accepting local connections
It is not a foolish question. While I didn't have sendmail_enable=NO in my /etc/rc.conf, I didn't have sendmail_enable=YES either. When I added sendmail_enable=YES, it finally accepted outside connections. Yea! THANKS! I knew it was some small detail that I missed. Sometimes you just need that small reminder. Thanks again! --Andy Clements Dan MacMillan wrote: -Original Message- From: Andy Clements I'm having problems getting sendmail to accept anything but local connections.

Thanks in advance, Andy Clements I have a couple of 325s with on-board SCSI, SCSI CDROM. Make sure that your SCSI devices are not set to the same ID as the SCSI card or each other. The HDDs are on SCSI 0 and 1 and the CDROM is on 6. At least that is what the SCSI BIOS is saying. Upon plying deeper into the problem I noticed that the ahc0 driver (which is the correct driver for my Adaptec AIC-7880) is saying that that there is an illegal configuration where there are more than two controllers attached to the cable (or something to that effect, unfortunately the machine is not in front of me). I remove the CDROM from the SCSI cable and still got the same message. Is there something I can do in the kernel configuration that would solve this? I also notice that IRQ15, where the SCSI is attached, is being used by an ATA /ATAPI driver. Is this correct? I don't know whether this helps but I've installed FedoraCore1 on this same machine with no problem - I would assume this leans towards the fact that there may be no hardware/BIOS problem. Thanks for your help so far! --Andy Clements ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

There should not be any cdrom drive sharing the primary IDE controller with the master Hard Drive. The HDDs and CDROM are on SCSI, so I don't think they have any IDE controller. Anyone can feel free to correct me on this issue if I am incorrect. boot sequence=, set this option to (CDROM,C) Since you are installing FBSD from CDROM you must tell the PC what I/O device to look at to boot from. Keep in mind that some older CD-ROMs drives and older PC bios do not support booting off CD-ROM. Generally with PC manufactured after 1999 this is not the problem. BIOS is old so the old boot option I have is floppy. The SCSI BIOS had a boot option, which I tried. That failed however, and brought error codes from the PC BIOS because it moved the floppy drive to B: and took over the a: slot. When FreeBSD attempts to boot the machine, ahc0 driver (for the Adaptec AIC-7880 controller) is loaded but throws the weirdest error: ahc0: Illegal Configuration. Only two connectors on the adapter can be used at one time. which means nothing to me. Does anyone know what it is asking for? I even tried removing the CDROM from the SCSI and booting , but the same error appears. Others have loaded 4.9 on 325 PC Servers, however there is something about my configuration that is giving the ahc0 driver fits. again, please cc with your response as I am not on the list.
