My point wasn't related to the original post, I was just trying to figure out the drawbacks of using some other SMTP server other than justifiably your own (the one indicated by your MX record). Yeah, i think it was everybody's dream that each SMTP server be able to relay for everybody, but then we had spam. And it would be a better idea to stick to your own (MX) servers for relaying your mail. If this were strictly followed along with reverse DNS lookup, there'd be less spamming (not perfecty zero though). This, along with what you mentioned about the SMTP server being able to detect bulk mailings, we could achieve good sterilisation. Though this may not always be possible, logistics or otherwise, then, as "Mary" pointed out in another thread (or was it this thread), the use of spf records. They would surely be a good step in fighting spam. Also, i feel every self respecting SMTP server should run a reverse DNS and make use of RBL lists till there is definitive way to fight spam. -js ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

Hi all, I finally decided to move to grub, but it seems the trip is not easy. I tried installing grub using the shell from the grub boot floppy (just so that disk is not mounted).

[ilugd] PCQLinux and Sound
Guys, I recall LL and some others having some problem with sound on the latest PCQlinux. I got myself a copy and tried out for myself. The sound on kernel 2.4 works fine, but was giving me problems on 2.6. So i decided to fix it. I downloaded the latest alsa drivers, compiled them on 2.4 and got it working with OSS emulation. Since i was going to use the 2.6 kernel also on the same box ( and i didn't want to tweak my /etc/modules.conf), i thought of compiling alsa as modules on 2.6 kernel too. But the 2.6 kernel comes with alsa support in the kernel itself. Luckily the PCQ guys haven't enabled that in the kernel that they shipped (by looking at the accompanying /boot/config-2.6...). So i compiled the alsa as modules for the 2.6 kernel as well (with oss emulation again) and got it working there too. So now as i have it, i have got alsa as modules for 2.4 and 2.6 and the same /etc/modules.conf and sound works with both the kernels. I am more of a compiling person so i compiled everything from source, but i guess the RPMs can work as well. I am not sure about the 5.1 thingie, i believe LL would be able to confirm that. Also, i have no ideas why sound wasn't working earlier, i just used my fix :) Hope this helps. -js PS: on how to compile alsa (url may be wrapped): http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=Quick+Install ___ ilugd mailinglist -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

Hi, It goes like this.

[ilugd] how to capture still from a movie?
Hi all, The problem goes like this, i have a movie and i want to capture one of the scenes (a still image). I tried using ImageMajik, but i guess since mplayer directly writes to the VDO buffer, the image is not visible, rather just a blank screen. Tried the same thing on a windows machine too using "Print Screen" button, but the same thing, Windows Media player shows up with a blank screen. Any pointers on how to achieve what i want?

have been having some similar problems myself. I stopped all the NFS related services (nfs + portmap, etc. ) and then started portmap before starting NFS. It seems to work most of the time, and the times it didn't, i restarted the boxes (both client and server) and then mounted the NFS share again (not using /etc/fstab). I encountered this when i was actually "playing" around with NFS and creating and removing shares indiscriminately, stopping and starting services erratically, etc. Couldn't find the real reason, i guess NFS is really sensitive to restarts and the "order" of restarts.

:allow allows any client to connect to your server. You have to set the RELAYCLIENT environment variable so that the client is able to relay though your server.If RELAYCLIENT is not set, the client would still be able to connect but would not be able to relay. But if there is no :allow entry for the client, the connection itself would be rejected. In case the connection is rejected, it could either be the entry in the rules, specifically denying the subnet OR a firewall that prvevents anyone from connecting to your machine on the desired ports. You better check the firewall. -js keshab wrote: Hi Thanks for ur info. yeah, :allow is there in the last line. Still I'm unable to connect the 25 or 110 port remotely.

RE: [ilugd] unable to export display ??
I don't think you'll be able to do this just from telnet. Use X in query mode as: On server: 1. Enable XDMCP (editing /etc/X11/xdm/xdm.conf or gdm.conf, whichever applicable) 2. restart GDM/XDM/KDM as applicable One client: 1. stop your own Xwindow, using init 3 2. Log into the console, and type "X -query ". This would open a X Session to the server and you'll abe to login and run any X app. Using this method, one gets a whole alternate X Window session (right from the login screen) and not just one app from the server, I am not sure how to get that. There are some how to's that may help. -js $ -Original Message- $ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] $ g] On Behalf Of Lalit Kumar Bhasin $ Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2003 12:21 PM $ To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] $ Subject: [ilugd] unable to export display ?? $ $ $ $ Hi all, $ I am using redhat 8 ( linux 2.4).

Some experiences... Client has 8 locations, including numerous factories, spread over the country. Were using NT for domain control as well as file and print services (FPS). MS got into the act, convinced them about the joys of Winduhs 2003 and got their domain controllers (DCs) upgraded to W2K3. In the meantime we'd already done most of the work to switch the FPS from NT to Linux. At the last minute (nearly) client comes to us and asks, ``Can you work with a W2K3 domain controller?''. Being the blithe spirits that we are, we searched the web, found some pointers that seemed to vaguely indicate the possibility of a chance of there being some items that could portend the peaceful co-existence of Samba and W2K3, and gave him the reply in one word, `Yes!'. Problem with W2K3 is that it only supports active directory (AD) and none of the older methods of authentication (whatever they are -- /me is no Winduhs expert). So we need a Samba that is AD aware. Lo and behold, Samba 3.0.0 (currently in final Beta) is AD aware, and Google-ification yields a few HOWTOs on how to get the two working together. OK, problem (1) solved. As long as /someone/ has got it working, we should be able to too, right? I mean, what're mailing lists, IRC channels, friends and AK-47s for if not to get you assistance with making Samba work with AD? Download, compile, test, scream, tear out hair, kill w2k3 admin because he can't properly set the one goddam registry entry that we need, find another w2k3 admin, recompile, retest, etc... you know the routine. Finally, it sort of works. Except... see, Samba has this means of automatically adding new users when they're defined on the DC but not in Linux. So we use that facility (with some 'l33t shell scripting by yours truly), but there's some conflict in the group names and permissions and whatnot, and life sucks until Supreet comes up with this weird idea: don't have Unix users at all! I look at him in dismay, thinking, ``He's really lost it this time'' and am about to suggest a long vacation, away from computers when he explains: let the password routines use Winbind to get the users. Sounds like utter cr*p to me, but we're desperate so I mangle the appropriate files, and do a getent passwd ... and Voila! here's the list of all the users on the AD server! The rest of the office is eyeing us with concern (this is at the client's office) as we go into high-fives, middle-fives, low-fives, jaffi-pa's, bhangra, balle-balles and general rejoicing. The rest of the configuration looks like a breeze... ...Until... Wait, the client also has complex access rules for his data! See, the ``folder'' Marketing belongs to the marketing group and everyone in that group has read and write access to it, only, see, the Director Projects needs to view the files in /this/ sub-folder, and the Director Finance must be able to modify the files in /this/ sub-folder and /this/ sub-folder, and... you get the idea. Linux doesn't have fine-grained filesystem access control yet (well, the new betas do, but none of the ``stable'' releases). Scratch heads (scratch patka in Supreet's case), fgrep -ir acl /usr/src/linux/Documentation with no result, try to shrug off gloom and despondency. Finally decide to bite the bullet, put our noses to the grindstone, our back to the wheel and our ear to the ground and go in for SGI's XFS. XFS is a hotsex filesystem which is going to be part of Linux 2.6, but is not available for the 2.4 series except as a patch. Rather than patch, we decide to get SGI's complete Linux kernel CVS tree for kernel 2.4.21. A few hours (170MB downloaded) and a couple of kernel compiles later we're ready to test ACLs on Linux. Bah, what testing? It's Linux, and it works as advertised. Plug ACLs into Samba, and we're ready to start testing the setup. I won't go into the details of the testing phase. Suffice it to say that it was bloody, gory and rigorous. And that it passed off without incident. Saturday (19th) night we brought the new system online. Restored from tape wherever possible -- if you restore a backup from an NT machine onto a Samba share you get the complete user, group and access control lists on each file and directory. Unfortunately some of the tapes (only worth about 10 gig of data) refuse to restore, so we have to copy those files manually from the old NT server. Next 2 hours is spent with the client's IT bossman, lookin

RE: [ilugd] edit oldconfig for kernel compilation
Hi, This practice might help you. In the /boot, there is almost always a config file which was used to build the currently running kernel (should be named, configxxx). Copy this file to the /usr/local/linux folder. Then use make old config, it would prompt you for the new things that are there in the new kernel. Also, you can use make xconfig or make menuconfig and load this file. What this ensures is that you have the settings and modules that are already present according to the present kernel that you are using and add only the new ones for the new kernel.

AFAIK there are only 3 options :- `make oldconfig', `make menuconfig' and `make xconfig'. But waht about edit old config? There are only 2 features for which I am re-compiling my kernel. And I thought that if I'm re-compiling, then why not upgrade? But, what if I switch on the wrong option and switch off the required one? This would be the first time I'm compiling a kernel which, if does not work, WILL be very hazardous for me. I have experimented a few times, but only once did it work properly. So, I need your help. Could it be like first I run `make oldconfig' and then `make xconfig' or `make menuconfig'? I'm running RHL 7.2 (tux should run but somehow it is not running).

RE: [ilugd] hi reloading prob?????!!!!!
I think you'd need to flush your mbr. There are many ways to do this. I assume you donot have any data on your disk. 1. use DOS formatted bootable floppy, or a win98 startup disk. Copy fdisk.exe on this diskette. Boot through this floppy and type fdisk /mbr. This should do the work. 2. use seagate Disk Manager to partition the disk again. This is faster and effective.

RE: [ilugd] java for mozilla
I think you downloaded the correct version. In order to make mozilla recognize java applets and other java stuff, you need to do this. 1. explode the bin or rpm or wotever in some folder. 2. if you downloaded jre there would be a folder called plugins/i386/ns610 .. Or may b I forgot the path, but ns610 should be there somewhere in plugins. 3. this folder contains a plugins something like libjavaplugin_oji.xxx 4. symlink this plugin into the plugins folders under mozilla installation.

[ilugd] How to know whether the file has been copied fully ?
Hi, I have an vsftpd server running on RH9 system. The behaviour is to copy the files to a new location when the upload has completed for just one particular user. I have a simple cron job with mv command that runs every minute to check for new files and moves them to the new location. The problem that I am facing is that the files have not been ftp'ed completely when the cron job runs and hence moves only partial files. Does anyone have any ideas on how to figure out whether the complete file has been ftp'ed and then only move it to the new location. Or is there an FTP server that can run a script when the upload completes ? Thanks -jasmeet ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
[ilugd] Checking for bad blocks on existing partition
Hello all, I suspect some bad blocks on my HDD, and want to check for those.I think "mke2fs -c -c " does it but that would format my partition, also I tried using the "mke2fs -n -c /dev/hda1" but it doesn't seem to do anything. Is there any utility or some parameters to usual ones which may be used for this purpose ? Or any workarounds like moving the existing data to some other partition, checking the partition in doubt, and moving the data back ? thanks -jasmeet PS : point noted Raj :) ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
[ilugd] X Window on MSWindows
Hi all, I did something interesting recently, thot u guys would like to know. Since xdm (or gdm or kdm) has the inbuilt ability to use XDMCP to display the desktop on a remote machine, the cygwin port also supports this. By making minor changes to the default gdm conf (in my case), it can be made to listen for network requests. The cygwin port of XFree86 http://xfree86.cygwin.com) can be downloaded and used to connect to that gdm to get a graphical login prompt, i.e. getting X window desktop on a MS Windows machine. Just found it interesting, so posted it. I am not sure about the bandwidth requirements over similar products like VNC or commercial X Window servers. Does anybody have any idea ? Or can someone help me measure the bandwidth involved in this, how can I go about doing it ? Using ethereal or something similar may b ? thanx -jasmeet ___ ilugd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd
