[newbie] Default lilo boot
Here's another dumb one.. ugh I've compiled a new kernel and want it to boot by default. I entered this as the first entry in /etc/lilo.conf (the name is linux2), but it still boots the one named 'linux' by default. I even went in through linuxconf and made sure this one was set to the default kernel and it is. If I type linux2 at the lilo prompt my kernel boots, but I can't get it to boot by default. Thanks for the help, Eric Solberg
[newbie] IP Aliasing
Mandrake 6.1 I've added an IP alias using linuxconf->Networking->Server Tasks->IP aliases for virtual hosts. I see that it has added the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:0 and this script contains the option ONBOOT=yes along with the ip address, netmask, etc. Also, I have made sure that IP aliasing is compiled into my kernel. The address isn't getting configured in the boot (I can't ping it). However, if I manually ifconfig eth0:0 n.n.n.n it works fine. Arent the sysconfig scripts supposed to do this for me? Do I need to configure this in rc.local? Do I need to set up any static routes for the aliases? In the IP Aliasing mini-Howto it shows setting up static routes but the syntax shown is incorrect. Thanks to this list for all the help you've been giving me... Eric Solberg
[newbie] Allowing DNS Zone Transfer
I need to allow zone transfers to my ISP (pacbell) for secondary DNS.
In my named.conf I have:
zone
"112.32.195.63.IN-ADDR.ARPA"{ type
master; file
"112.32.195.63.in-addr.arpa";
allow-transfer{
ns1.pbi.net;
ns2.pbi.net; };};
From my logs though I see that this is failing:
Sep 29 00:36:56 ns named[1419]: unapproved AXFR from [206.13.29.11].42136
for "112.32.195.63.in-addr.arpa" (acl)
Will this work if I change the allow-transfer entries to the ip addresses,
or is there some other access-control-list that I need to set up to allow
this?
Thanks,
Eric Solberg
[newbie] /etc/mail/relay-domains
How do I get this to work? I want to be able to send mail from a remote site by allowing relaying either from the domain of the remote site, or preferrably by the site's firewall host (which is what smtp on my host sees). If I enter eithor of these in relay-domains it won't allow the relay. However, if I recompile the m4's with: FEATURE(relay_local_from) it works fine, but it seems this would allow others to send mail appearing to be from my domain, right? I tried FEATURE(relay_hosts_only) and it didn't seem to do the trick. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. Eric Solberg

I did that and was very careful and deliberate in my choices. Trouble is it doesn't boot. It appears that one of the modprobe's in rc.sysinit is hanging, and for some reason executing in a loop (my screen is filled with scrolling error messages that I can't stop but if I look real close I can see a modprobe error). I could debug this but I'd really rather start from a working configuration. Eric Solberg
Re: [newbie] Email Setup
Doh, I think I've just been degraded to 'clueless newbie'. I was configuring sendmail when postfix was running. The good news is I did this right and it is working wonderfully now. Sorry for the HTML, and thanks for all the help.

Re: [newbie] Email Setup
I'm hoping this isn't the problem since I don't see that configurable anywhere in my mail client (outlook express).

Re: [newbie] Email Setup
Thanks so much for the helpful info - it is not being run in daemon mode. I remember seeing the config file where this is set and can change that. If I'm sending mail from work, but setting up my mail client to use my server (which is at home), do I need to add my company's domain in relay-domains? I'm using this as a stand-alone pop/smtp server without any relay or smarter host. Thanks, Eric Solberg > > I would make sure sendmail is running is daemon mode.

[newbie] Email Setup
I'm having trouble getting mail working with Mandrake 6.1. I have the MX record set up in DNS. If I send mail from the shell I can receive the mail either using Pine or using my Windoze email client at work. However, I can't seem to send mail from the mail client. When I try this at home (with a windows client on the same network as the Linux box) it appears to be succesfull, but the mail disappears never to be seen again. What seems odd is when I go back into the shell it tells me I have mail but when I go in with Pine, none is there. If I try to send mail from my office, setting my server as the SMTP host, I get the error message: The connection to the server has failed. Account: 'mail.solberg.com', Server: 'mail.solberg.com', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 10061, Error Number: 0x800CCC0E Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks in advance, Eric Solberg
