Now very recently all the domains are moved to the new name server and the zones have been deleted from this server.

Re: Related to sendmail gethostbyaddr error
I don't believe that the sendmail.cf file points to a dns server. I could be totally wrong on this though. The first thing I would check is where the mailserver gets its dns info. What do you get when you do an nslookup from the mail server? It should tell you what nameserver it is using. as in: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ nslookup thor.nowhere.org Server: castor.nowhere.orgthis is the dns server it is using Address: 141.141.1.60 and its address Name:thor.nowhere.org the system you are querying for Address: 141.141.22.200 and its address Your resolv.conf should look like this: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ more /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 141.141.1.60primary dns nameserver 141.141.1.61secondary dns Also, check to see that the server is not still running named (the dns daemon).

The truth is that everyone wants/loves/needs electricity, but no one wants to pay for it in terms of building the necessary infrastructure to support it (NIMBY). Large portions of the existing electrical grid are operating at or near the operating limits and stability margins they were designed for. The dynamics of the inter-connected power grids is very complex. In some areas it doesn't take much to cause an outage or disturbance, which depending on the magnitude, and where it occurs, can cascade to neighboring locations. Most of the grid can handle a voltage sag. The problem is when some segments of the grid trip off-line they cause phase shifts on the system, which are harder to deal with.

OTimap
I'm painfully aware of the fact that I don't know all that I don't know about imap (among other things). Anyway, the problem is that since we moved our mail server from solaris/sendmail to msexchange, I don't see all of the mail in my inbox from an imap client. Using mslookout I can see all messages (one would hope anyway), but using either netscape or pine there are always a few missing in action. As far as I know I don't do anything different from one time to the next, and there are no special permissions on my inbox or any folders. I keep all folders on the server along with the inbox. Moving a message from the inbox to a folder doesn't make it visible to the client if it is initially not seen by the client. Any clues to what is going on? Looking on the UW imap site and a few others devoted to imap gives no clue of this ever happening to anyone else. Also, realizing that imap is server based, is there anyway to truley manage mail on the server, say to delete or move a message via a client so that it is really deleted or moved on the server? If I move a message or delete it, any imap client sees that result, but if I then log on to the server via mslookout, none of the changes are there. Everything is still in the inbox folder. This obviously is a design feature of imap, but it would be good to be able to manage folders on the server for real instead of the virtual reality of the imap client. Thanks, -jhb- PS - I'll accept condolences, but no criticism, for the move to msexchange. I had no part in the decision.

It's an old(*) programmers trick from when there were reasonable limits on the length of a variable name compilers would permit (6-8 chars.). In order to use a variable name that somewhat resembled the term you were modelling, you would drop the vowels from the word. There was also some efficiency involved in that it took considerably less typing effort. If you ever used punched cards or paper tape to load a program, you'd understand.

Re: Dual boot upgrade...
My two cents: Unless you're really enamored with using lilo as the primary boot loader I'd use the NT boot loader to do the booting. This requires installing lilo in your primary linux partion (ie /dev/hda1 for example), and making a copy of the Bootsec.lin file for NT to use. The links below describe both methods (watch that the links may be wrapped due to the message wrapping). While the links are for Caldera, the concept is the same for most distros.

Re: DSL Troubles Solved -- but not resolved...
Just an fyi on your last comment. While knowing how to do whatever you did to fix your problem from a command line is a good thing, keep in mind that if it wasn't what Yast2 set up originally, the next time you reboot, Yast2 will reset it to what it thinks is right, and you'll be right back where you were. It's kind of anal that way. So if you use Suse, and Yast2 for system configs, all system configs should be done from there. There is an option to shut it off, but then it is totally off, and I believe the next time you turn it on for something, it will redo all the system config to what it knew last. Does anyone know where Yast2 keeps this info so it could be changed to reflect what you do outside of it? -jhb- From: Condon Thomas A KPWA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks for the suggestion, Llama, but I don't think it was MTU...

Well, I think uptime is over rated as a system quality measure in any event. We run a slew of Solaris servers and rebooting seems to clean up a lot of little annoyances. I'm of the opinion that most systems regardless of OS should be restarted on a regular basis, say monthly. Of course some of them just do this on their own accord too.

It also cleans various cache areas. Removes orphaned processes. Cleans up lost files (large and small) which may be left over from killed processes. Fixes stale NFS mounts (probably related to cache area problems), Nothing serious or show stoppers, but it does tend to tidy things up and make it all run smoother again.

For commands or files that normally exist outside of these common directories, full paths are specified. Why du and df report different totals of used disk space? SHORT ANSWER There are 3 reasons why du and df can show different answers: 1. Inconsistent fileystem requiring fsck(1m). 2. Process with open file which does not exist in filesystem. 3. Mount point directory contains data. LONG ANSWER Before going into detail for the 3 possibilities, it is important to recognise how du and df obtain their answers: . du walks the filesystem (like find command would), checking the size of each file in turn, and keeping track of the total. . df makes a system call to the filesystem itself and requests a number of details, one of which is the current disk space used. (it gets the info directly from the superblocks of the filesystem). 1. Inconsistent fileystem requiring fsck(1m). If the filesystem becomes corrupt/inconsistent for some reason, it is quite likely that du and df will differ. What can be seen by a process looking at the filesystem (ie du), does not match up with the view the filesystem itself has (ie what will be returned to the querying df process). Corrupt/inconsistent filesystems should be repaired using fsck(1m). 2. Process with open file which does not exist in the filesystem directory structure. This scenario commonly occurs when some process keeps writing to a file (usually a logfile) and a sysadmin deletes the file in panic to prevent the filesystem from filling up. But the offending process keeps running and the space is not freed (the process keeps the file open). The disk blocks associated with a file are actually deleted and made available for reuse when the last reference to the file is removed. When a Unix process opens a file, the reference count to that file is incremented. Subsequently, if the file itself is removed from the filesystem, the data blocks remain in use until the process closes the file, either explicitly with close(2), or implicitly when the process dies. Under these conditions, du will be unable to see the file in the filesystem (it was rm'd from the dir. structure), and therefore will not count its size, but df (in getting the answer from the filesystem itself) knows the file still exists. When the process closes the file (explicitly, or implicitly when the process either quits or is killed, or the machine is rebooted), the disk blocks will return to the freelist and du and df will agree. Actually it is the unmount and remount of the filesystem that fixes this problem. But obviously if some process has an open file on the filesystem, it will be impossible to unmount the filesystem (device busy). See infodoc 17720 for additional info on the above scenario. 3. Directory mount point containing data. As filesystems are mounted on top of directories, if a directory mount point contains data, the du process will be unable to see this data (seeing only the mounted filesystem), but the underlying filesystem will still keep track of this data, consequently df will report the extra disk space in use. Unmounting the filesystem will reveal the data. However, if the mounted filesystem is being used by running processes it will not be possible to unmount it. Either identify and kill the processes (fuser(1m), etc), or reboot (possibly in single user mode) to check the mount point directory.
