Re: DHCP Error
192.168.0.0 worked for me. It seems that the dhcp daemon allows configuration for the interface itself, if you define it as a subnet (I don't know why someone would want to use it, but buy I can argue with that) Thank you Vadim.

I know I don't need to edit sendmail.cf . I meant to say that I used the file redhat.mc that came with redhat to build sendmail.cf because I liked the options it had.

Re: Sendmail problem
> what's RBL ? MAPS RBL, Mail Abuse Prevention System - Realtime Blackhole List. It's a system from creating intentional network outages for the purpose of limiting spam mail. Basically, they keep a DB of systems which are known to be spammers-friendly, keep an open relay, etc .. There are rules (The sysadmin needs to activate them --- It's not forced on anyone), which check every incoming mail for an entry in the RBL system, and refuses to accept / talk to the remote host if it exists. Basically, getting RBLed means that a great deal of sites on the network will stop talking to you.

Re: Sendmail problem
do you think that that comfort, which can mostly (if not totally) maintained, is worth the price of being used for spam relaying ? (not to mention the cost and hassle for the server administrators themselves). Also, most of the GUI clients (l)users use, check for mail on startup, so most of those users won't even feel a change. Users who are intelligent enough to use a Unix MUA and fetchmail (or whatever it takes to fetch POP3 mail to a unix system) are intelligent enough to understand the change. I'm not talking here about relaying for your domain, i'm talking about having an open relay for the world, accessible from the outside.

caching name server
Hi. I want to run a caching only name server on my local network. Obviously, the name server needs to connect to the root nameservers. However, the connection is made from UDP port 53 to UDP port 53, and the answer returns on UDP port 53 (unlike regular DNS query which returns to an unpriveleged port). How can I make the answer return on an unpriveleged port? Another possible solution for me is to use TCP instead of UDP. How can I configure my name server to use TCP instead? [The goal is to block incoming traffic on UDP port 53 in the firewall] Thanks. -Aviram Jenik "Addicted to Chaos" -Today's quote:Kill one - you're a murdererkill many - and you're a conquererkill them all - you're a god. - Megadeth Countdown to Extinction

I got linux redhat 6.0, running on celeron 266, 64MB ram, linux native partition 1.5 GB and linux swap partition 850Mb I got two other parition, 550 Mb each that are on fat 32 In linux, I can't see those two Hd, I'm aware that linux threat partitions and drives like directories, but I searched for them and I can't seem to find them, how can I find the lost HD? Second question, I got ati rage 3d pro with 8mb (Able to reach 1024X768 in 32 million colors, higher is possible but my screan wouldn't support it, CTX 15" up to 1024X768) I installed linux with 800X600 resolution, how can I change that? Thrid question, how can I define a sound card? I got 64 pci creative sound blaster, and I don't know how I can install it in linux. Forth question, how can I define a modem (56kbps) in Linux.
