Il problema è che se configuro un qualsiasi client mail per la posta intranet la posta la ricevo regolarmente ma non viene inviata a gli altri della rete e questo con qualsiasi client io provi ho provato in tutti i modi dove sbaglio quando configuro il client nell'account do l'indirizzo del server NT esempio 10.100.100.10 e server SNMP lo stesso indirizzo ma questi non raccoglie i miei invii mi manda soltanto la posta che devo configurare devo dire a postfix qualcosa o devo istruire linux a inviare cercare il dominio intranet ?

Have you tried editing the /etc/dosemu.users file? You can add:
fred c_all unrestricted private_setup
for user fred. This gives the user unrestricted privileges and the
private_setup allows the user to have a private dosemu lib in your home
dir (~/.dosemu/lib). I don't really know much about dosemu but I've been
reading about it this morning and found that I can run xdos as user by
editing the users file as above. HTH

Re: [newbie] Help! how to uninstall
I can answer this in one word. Fdisk Seriously, you can kill the installation just by doing an fdisk on that partition and the entire thing is gone. there really isn't much more to it then that. If you're want to replicate your current installation to another machine _that_ is a whole other matter and I would strongly suggest addressing that on the expert list. you might give civileme a holler at MandrakeSoft and ask him directly what that would entail. you can address it directly on the expert list. He reads it quite regularly. There are, i believe, quite a few references to be seen on the Mandrake forums covering replication also. but, just plain old uninstalling of your Mandrake installation is just an Fdisk away.

[newbie] msec and Bastille
So I've trying to bone up on all things security-related and was trying to figure out what relationship, if any, there was between Bastille and msec. Is msec a UI layer over Bastille or is it a separate security tool? Are the two complementary or exclusionary.

[newbie] detecting an internal ISA modem
Just enquired on the price of an external USR modem and was quoted about R800. Before I end up having to fork out this dough I wondered how to make the system detect new hardware i.e. the ISA USR modem, eventhough it doesn't display it under the Mandrake Control Centre when I am logged as as either a user or root. Tnx to Ed who suggested I try the command of'/proc/pci|/home/hylton/proc-pci'. Turns out on opening the box that the USR modem is in an ISA slot. I tried to use the command but replace the PCI with ISA and all I got was something about command not found. Before I have to cough dough, please tell me how to get this working.

Re: [newbie] xscreensaver-gl
Sorry for posting to the list before I had exhausted my options. I found the answer on the xscreensaver web site FAQ. On versions of xscreesaver 3.34 (as in the ones included in Mandrake) there is a default memory limit (to protect against runaway memory) of 50M. Nvidia cards send a false reading to xscreensaver indicating they are using 128M of memory when trying to run a GL screensaver and the program quits. It is safe to turn off this feature by editing the .xscreensaver file in you home directory and changing the memoryLimit: from 50M to 0.

[newbie] Networking Problem
Hi All I'm baffled. I have a 3 computer network at home. Using a switch, I have my Linux machine and two other XP workstations all connected. The Linux box acts as a gateway for the net and a print server etc. and the xp workstations are simply used for day-to-day work. I have it set up so I can share files between all 3 computers (using a combination of microshaft's connection wizard thingy and samba/komba2). Everything was fine until recently one of the XP machines stopped sharing it's files (and was unable to connect to the other two computers' shared files), although the other two computers still happily share files and printer. The 'faulty' xp machine still takes it's connection for the net through the linux box though! - so no major network hardware problem I thought/think!? Linux ip: - 192.168.0.1 (gateway) Xpbox1 (faulty share machine): - 192.168.0.2 (mask, 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1) Xpbox2: - 192.168.0.3 (mask, 255.255.255.0, gateway 192.168.0.1) Both the linux box and XPbox2 can ping each other, and I can ping both the linux box and the XPbox2 from the 'faulty' XPbox1. However, and perhaps crucially, I cannot ping XPbox1 from either linux or XPbox2. Phew, that took some writing and no doubt has taken some reading if you've bothered to get this far :) Can anyone offer me help please... I know this is not strictly a Linux query as it seems XPbox1 is to blame, but I'm sure someone out there might have some ideas to try at least. Could it be a hardware issue?

[newbie] Partition-setup trickery for a 40 Gb hard drive
Yesterday I bought a 40 Gb hard drive to replace my old 2-gig one. The oldish BIOS refuses to detect it so I asked around for alternative ways to get the disk working so that I can the olde Win95/Mandrake doubleboot on it. I received a helpful reply describing the general process, but newbie as I am, I need some help in applying it for Mandrake (8.1). It's the first step of the process that I can't figure out: Make a small (10 megs) as /dev/hda1 and mount your Linux boot partition there. Do this before you install Windows. Then install Windows... [snip]... then install Linux... [snip] OK, so I do what I think it says. I fire up the Mandrake installation utility and start setting the system up. When the time comes to create the partitions, I make a /boot partition. Then I'm apparently supposed to stop the installation procedure, exit the installer and install Windows before finishing the Linux install. But the installer won't let me do that: it keeps complaining that I should make a /root partition or stuff to that effect. What am I misunderstanding here? Can someone give me insight on this? (And BTW, the partition size slider in the Mandrake installer is so big-grained that it won't let me create a partition smaller than 196 megs. Is there any way around that?) +Cinquo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

The trick is that /boot and windows first partition shall be named as hda1 and hda2 (or vice versa) and that they are both limited to the first 8GB. Rest will be managed by lilo and your OS.

Never used XP, but is this was a win98 question I'd say the problem was that you were not logged into the windows box with a valid username/password. For some reason if you give windows the wrong password it does not stop you logging on and seeing all the files, but it will stop you browsing the network. I think they call it security?

Re: [newbie] Help! how to uninstall
That's true, but with one proviso - don't forget to tidy up the boot manager too. If you just use fdisk to remove the Linux partition, chances are you are killing your active partition and therefore your machine don't boot no more. Before removing anything, make your C drive (in M$ terms) your active partition - i.e. the one that boots. Then reboot and check that Windoze comes up with no sign of a boot manager. Then you can safely zap the Linux partition, create a new one and format at for Windoze use. Have fun with the new machine and the REAL operating system! I guess the next questions we see from you will be about Samba ;-) /brian On Wednesday 12 December 2001 3:03 am, you wrote: I can answer this in one word. Fdisk Seriously, you can kill the installation just by doing an fdisk on that partition and the entire thing is gone. there really isn't much more to it then that. If you're want to replicate your current installation to another machine _that_ is a whole other matter and I would strongly suggest addressing that on the expert list. you might give civileme a holler at MandrakeSoft and ask him directly what that would entail. you can address it directly on the expert list. He reads it quite regularly.

[newbie] NVidia
Hello: I'm trying to install the new NVidia drivers on my wife's machine and I'm having a bit of a problem. When I install the rpm for 8.1 it says this: Preparing...### [100%] 1:NVIDIA_kernel ### [100%] modprobe: Can't locate module NVdriver NVdriver installed successfully I'm using this command: rpm -ivh NVIDIA* Any help or points to the proper location for help would be greatly appreciated. I've already tried going through the archives to no avail. Thanks, Steve Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
