Magari chiediamo a Giuseppe che gia' lo ha usato qualche giorno fa quale e' la sua configurazione. Dai Giuseppe.. Quarto, la somma delle frustrazioni: MA COME CAZZO SI INSTALLA SSMTP??? Non ha il configlure, ne make, ne' niente di niente. Solo doinst.sh, che ho lanciato senza risultati; niente readme, niente manuale... solo un man/ssmtp.8 praticamente incomprensibile... ed era l'unico tgz che io abbia trovato in rete su ssmtp. Io ho scaricato questo pacchetto: ssmtp-2.48.tar.gz. Lo trovi qui http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/mail/mta/ Quindi $ tar xzvf ssmtp-2.48.tar.gz $ cd ssmtp-2.48 $./configure $ make $ su # make install In fase d'installazione di chiede l'hostname: tu conferma quello che ti propone. Poi # cd /etc/ssmtp entri con il tuo editor preferito nel file ssmtp.conf e assegni alla voce mailhub l'indirizzo del server smtp del tuo provider. Ad esempio io navigo con virgilio.it il cui smtp e' out.virgilio.it. Puoi anche scrivere l'indirizzo IP del server smtp ottenuto, nel mio caso con $ ping out.virgilio.it Quindi aggiungi la stringa FromeLineOverride=YES Dovresti avere quindi alla fine $ cat /etc/ssmtp/ssmtp.conf root=postmaster mailhub=62.211.72.20 hostname=darkstar.example.net FromLineOverride=YES Per il mailhub ho usato la tecnica del ping come ti ho spiegato sopra e per hostname ho lasciato quello di default Prova e se non ti funge dovrai solo spippolare sulla voce hostname. Ma prima prova, poi ne parliamo. Per la tua frustrazione a causa di sendmail.. Arwan e' normale, non devi scoraggiarti. D'altra parte sei partita in quarta pretendendo di configurare al meglio sendmail quando ancora qualche giorno fa non sapevi la differenza tra un MUA ed un MTA. Adesso che ti _tranquillizzi_ con ssmtp avrai tutto il tempo per spippolare su sendmail ;)) -- syd - Slackware 9.0 * K 2.4.20 -

[newbie-it] tuxrace e driver nvidia
Ho un piccolo problema con tuxrace. Nulla di grave, ma i nipotini vogliono giocarci :-) Io ho una scheda geforge2-mmx che con i driver Nvidia non ha mai dato alcun problema. Da quando ho installato la 9.1 e, contemporaneamente, la nuova versione dei driver, si impalla il sistema se cerco di fare alcune discese di tuxrace. :-( La discesa che dà maggiori problemi è quella con tutti gli spunzoni di ghiaccio. Ho cercato un po' su google, ma non ho trovato nulla. Qualcuno ha avuto problemi analoghi o ha indicazioni da darmi? ciao, Andrea

Capisco anche la tua ansia di sistemare tutto al più presto, solo ti chiedo di presentare un problema alla volta, non come hai fatto ultimamente ;) . Affrontare problemi che si accavallano uno sopra l'altro, alla rinfusa non aiuta l'informazione, anzi non dai tempo nemmeno a te stessa di assimilare i concetti e gli altri non si rendono poi più conto di cosa puo servirti realmente e quello che invece è superfluo per te. Scaricati e installa la versione ssmtp che ha gia anche syd, la mia è la versione 2.60.3-1 ed è un rpm. Una volta installato ssmtp, ricordati fra le altre cose da fare di inserire in .muttrc la seguente riga: set sendmail=/usr/sbin/ssmtp o comunque inserisci la path precisa dove si trova il tuo file binario ssmtp. Per quanto riguarda ssmtp non devi leggere nessun manuale per farlo funzionare, sono solo quattro righe di configurazione, io l'ho installato, ho scritto le quattro righe nel file di configurazione ssmtp.conf e l'ho scordato. Pensi che se era così difficile da usare ti sarebbe stato consigliato ? Quando ne senti la necessità non esitare a chiedere spiegazioni. Per quanto riguarda la configurazione di sendmail invece ti consiglio di soprassedere per il momento, anzi è meglio che sendmail non sia attivo. Quando usi fetchmail che, senza indicazioni nel file .fetchmailrc riguardo all'utilizzo di un mda, utilizza per default l'mta di default ossia nel tuo caso sendmail, ricordati di questo fatto se decidi poi di rendere inattivo sendmail. Per far funzionare fetchmail che non ti scaricherà più la posta non trovando più l'mta di default, dovrai specificare un mda alternativo in .fetchmailrc ossia procmail, ma questo gia lo sai fare. Se per prova vuoi mandarmi delle mail dirette fai pure, ti dirò se tutto va bene e soprattutto controllerò i tuoi headers. Intanto consolati con ssmtp che comunque anch'io uso, non è un peccato, sottovalutarlo invece si. Per quanto riguarda sendmail e rispondendo quindi indirettamente a syd, ultimamente avevo deciso di toglierlo definitivamente dal mio sistema e configurare fetchmail ad usare procmail come mda. Prossimamente vorrei provare dinuovo con sendmail, poi con postfix ed altri mta, ma per questioni di tempo continuo sempre a rimandare; ti confesso però che l'altro motivo è che ssmtp funziona troppo bene e occupa pochissimo spazio. Una volta che avrai sistemato tutto e avrai fatto la transizione definitiva da kmail a mutt allora potrai giocare con sendmail e altri mta se lo riterrai necessario.

Ciao a tutti! Qualcuno mi sa dire cosa posso aver toccato nella configurazione durante l'installazione?

Ricorda.. porta 25; in fase di installazione di ssmtp ti verra' chiesto quale porta usare. Devi solo accettare quella proposta che e' appunto la 25. Per la configurazione di ssmtp segui la mia precedente mail (precedente a questa) e solo se non ti funge allora passi alla mia vecchia mail sull'argomento. Le due configurazioni si differenziano per l'impostazione dell'hostname. A proposito: sai qual'e' il tuo hostname? A meno che tu non l'abbia modificato dovrebbe essere darkstar.example.net che trovi indicato in /etc/HOSTNAME. E' questo il secondo parametro che ti verra' chiesto in fase d'installazione di ssmtp; ti dovrebbe essere proposto quello che l'applicazione legge automaticamente in /etc/HOSTNAME... quindi devi solo confermare. Se ti viene proposto un nome diverso.. c'e' qualcosa che non va ;)) Quando usi fetchmail che, senza indicazioni nel file .fetchmailrc riguardo all'utilizzo di un mda, utilizza per default l'mta di default ossia nel tuo caso sendmail, ricordati di questo fatto se decidi poi di rendere inattivo sendmail. Piano piano... ma fetch non si occupa di prelevare la posta dal server? E' che gli serve interagire con send? Fetch preleva dai server pop e.. basta. Poi le mail devono essere _trasportate_ da qualcuno.. ops.. qualcosa ;) Per far funzionare fetchmail che non ti scaricherà più la posta non trovando più l'mta di default, dovrai specificare un mda alternativo in .fetchmailrc ossia procmail, ma questo gia lo sai fare. Si', richiamando procmail come ha fatto syd... ma perche' e' indispensabile? Perche' non li mette nello spool e basta? Come sopra. Il trasporto lo fai fare o a un MTA (sendmail) il quale comunque si appoggia sempre ad un MDA (procmail) o direttamente all'MDA. Ma se lo puo' fare direttamente un MDA perche' farlo fare ad un MTA che in ogni caso deve richiamare un MDA? Perche' ci sono casi in cui un MTA risulta indispensabile essendo un'applicazione capace di fare cose che un MDA non puo' fare. Per un uso home del pc un MTA puo' anche essere disattivato in fase di smistamento. Se avessi una rete da gestire (molti utenti, ognuno col suo/suoi account) allora avresti bisogno di un MTA per lo smistamento oltre che tra i vari utenti anche tra i vari account.

* Arwan ha scritto: Quando usi fetchmail che, senza indicazioni nel file .fetchmailrc riguardo all'utilizzo di un mda, utilizza per default l'mta di default ossia nel tuo caso sendmail, ricordati di questo fatto se decidi poi di rendere inattivo sendmail. Piano piano... ma fetch non si occupa di prelevare la posta dal server? E' che gli serve interagire con send? Fetchmail preleva la posta dal server pop e la inoltra al sistema locale non fa le consegne ossia il delivery (la funzione di MDA) nel tuo spool. E' stato già ridetto senza un MTA (sendmail, postfix ecc.) la posta non può essere ne inviata ne consegnata. Per questo dato che tu hai problemi con sendmail ti si è chiesto di usare ssmtp per l'invio della posta e procmail (MDA) per la consegna, entrambi sopperiscono alla mancanza di un MTA che incorpora le due funzioni. Il compito di fetchmail è quello di prelevare la posta, poi si appoggia ad un altro programma che fa la consegna, fetchmail non agisce da solo. Il fatto è che siamo troppo abituati ad utilizzare programmi come kmail e mozilla mail per esempio che hanno incorporate tutte queste funzioni in se. Fetchmail invece è specializzato a prelevare la posta e inoltrarla al sistema locale, Procmail è specializzato nella consegna alle varie inbox che può essere semplice o complessa tramite filtri. Mutt è specializzato ad amministrare la posta e finalmente tramite ssmtp viene abilitato anche a spedire la posta. Mutt sostanzialmente serve per leggere la posta, ma è altamente configurabile tanto che può implementarsi con funzionalità specifiche di altri programmi , creando un sistema sofisticato di gestione della posta. per fare ping al sito di inwind sapete che indirizzo devo dare? Su mailhub in ssmtp.conf inserisci i numeri che ti appaiono con il comando ping mail.inwind.it Questo è il mio output per esempio [EMAIL PROTECTED] giuseppe]$ ping mail.inwind.it PING mail.inwind.it (193.70.192.50) 56(84) bytes of data. Allora in ssmtp.conf ho inserito la seguente riga: mailhub=193.70.192.50 Per far funzionare fetchmail che non ti scaricherà più la posta non trovando più l'mta di default, dovrai specificare un mda alternativo in .fetchmailrc ossia procmail, ma questo gia lo sai fare. Si', richiamando procmail come ha fatto syd... ma perche' e' indispensabile? Perche' non li mette nello spool e basta? Perchè che cambia o nello spool o da un'altra parte è lo stesso tanto è sempre procmail (un MDA) che consegna. Intanto consolati con ssmtp che comunque anch'io uso, non è un peccato, sottovalutarlo invece si. Infatti... solo che avevo gia' installato sendmail, e mi sembrava comodo da provare, soprattutto perche' gli appunti che ho (quelli di Antonecchia) si riferivano a lui. Se vuoi fare presto non indugiare con ssmtp. Con sendmail ci sarà il tempo per configurarlo quando si è poi tranquilli che tutto funziona.

Re[2]: [newbie] [Fwd: [Mandrake Off Topic] LICQ/Dynamically opening ports in Linksys router]
Hello Technoslick, Monday, June 16, 2003, 12:00:42 PM, you wrote: T No, thankfully. It just has to be an executable that shows itself T in calling for services through ports that need to be opened. Are you certain that it actually knows that the exact app is running on the original computer? This might be just port triggering in which ANY app on *THAT* computer will trigger the port to open, with returned packets routed to that IP. (The router remembers the IP address, NOT the app running). It might be that the app name is just there to help the reader remember which app is using which ports that are being triggered. You could check this by having two apps that use the same port. Place one app name in the router table, but run the other app on the same machine, and see if it opens the port anyway. BTW, port triggering does not need H.323 to work, and would work with the linux box, for any app, just as well. Dynamic port triggering is certainly better than static port opening. I am comforted by having the fw first check the md5 signature of the designated app - if it's OK, then open the port for that app only. T Exactly. If you have ICQ (continuing the example) run at different T times over the network by different clients, you would need to go T into DMZ just to keep up with the requests. If you do that, it T can't be a firewall anymore. T To provide software firewalls on each client that would do this as T needed, you still would have to put the router's firewall into DMZ or T nothing gets through the firewall barrier to the Web. Not necessarily. A stateful inspection firewall can provide protection without needing to create a DMZ. I run a SI firewall, with app-aware fw's on each computer. The SI firewall does not need a DMZ (at least for this purpose). The app-aware fw's allow ONLY a specified app for the designated port(s), and will deny the same port(s) to any other app. T Gnomemeeting is suppose to be a NetMeeting clone/client. It's got T to be as much a security issue in Linux as in the Windows T environment. If it needs all those ports, then yes, it would be a big risk.

Quick check does scd1 and scd0 exist in /dev /mnt? Did you manually
change your fstab, as it looks kinda bad as it has scd0 and scd1 as well
as hdb being mounted which I assume are all the same device. lilo looks

Subject: [newbie] SCSI Em- Again
Thanks to a great deal of help from people here, primarily the two
Johns, Yesterday I actually managed to burn two CDs using Xxcdroast.
Today when I logged on I got two failure lines in my mandrake boot info.
They were both for scd1. They both said FAILED scd1 does not exist.
I checked in MCC to see if the CDRW drive is still listed and it is not.
When I logged off yesterday it was there twice, once as hdb and once as
scd1.
At this point I'm unable to access the drive at all. So I've actually
taken a step backward. When I started the device at least appeared in
the hardware list as a CD ROM and I could use it as a reader.

[newbie] Looking for advice
I have a new machine at work that has W2K Pro on a single 40Gb NTFS partition. I plan to resize the partition and install LM9 on the drive so as to be able to dual boot. Since there are some files that I need to be able to read/write from both environments and I don't have the option of converting the NTFS partition to fat32, I'm thinking I will need at least three partitions; one for W2K, one for Linux, and one to hold my working directories. I expect to have the machine for 3 years (lease term), but I don't anticipate my company upgrading W2K during that time. My current W2K install uses ~3-4Gb and I have another 4-5Gb of user stuff that I keep locally. My questions: What are people's thoughts on a partitioning scheme? One option is 4 x 10 Gb, with 1 W2K, 1 Linux, and 2 x vfat. Do people think this will allow for reasonable bloat (oops growth) on the W2K side over the next three years (software inventory management software, virus software)? How about the Linux side? What about vfat as a choice for the transfer partition? Would I be better to use ext2/3 and find a W2K solution for reading/writing to ext2/3? (My preference however is ReiserFS for Linux.)

It just has to be an executable that shows itself T in calling for services through ports that need to be opened. Are you certain that it actually knows that the exact app is running on the original computer? This might be just port triggering in which ANY app on *THAT* computer will trigger the port to open, with returned packets routed to that IP. (The router remembers the IP address, NOT the app running). It might be that the app name is just there to help the reader remember which app is using which ports that are being triggered. 'Port Triggering' is the feature present on this particular router/gateway. No other app but the one assigned in the router, and only to the extent that the range is specified there, will open any additional ports. If I specify the exact name of the executable that will be needing specific ports open, it would seem logical that any client on the network that runs this app will dynamically open the specified ports upon request. I have checked this out. Any PC in this house can run ICQ, simultaneously, at that, and those ports do open up to allow for the need. Secondly, running another IM needing a similar set of ports open, same machine or another, is dead in the water. This feature is specific as well as dynamic, and will not allow other traffic through not specified in the router. That's Port triggering...at least the way Linksys does it. :0) You could check this by having two apps that use the same port. Place one app name in the router table, but run the other app on the same machine, and see if it opens the port anyway. Been there. Done it. Doesn't work. BTW, port triggering does not need H.323 to work, and would work with the linux box, for any app, just as well. That may be. I was speculating since there was not better to do with my limited understanding. ;0) Dynamic port triggering is certainly better than static port opening. You got my vote! I like this feature immensely. If I have to open up my firewall, I want to do so transparently and for the least amount of time. I am comforted by having the fw first check the md5 signature of the designated app - if it's OK, then open the port for that app only. Your current firewall, you mean? T Exactly. If you have ICQ (continuing the example) run at different T times over the network by different clients, you would need to go T into DMZ just to keep up with the requests. If you do that, it T can't be a firewall anymore. T To provide software firewalls on each client that would do this as T needed, you still would have to put the router's firewall into DMZ or T nothing gets through the firewall barrier to the Web. Not necessarily. A stateful inspection firewall can provide protection without needing to create a DMZ. I run a SI firewall, with app-aware fw's on each computer. The SI firewall does not need a DMZ (at least for this purpose). The app-aware fw's allow ONLY a specified app for the designated port(s), and will deny the same port(s) to any other app. I think you missed my point. My position on this discussion has been geared toward the particular situation in which some of us are in: we use a hardware firewall (via router) and wish to open ports for H.323 communications. If the router cannot open ports dynamically, it will require being placed into DMZ mode (for those that didn't know this, DMZ -- De-Militarised Zone -- means all ports open!) Some routers are not able to provide dynamic ports at all. These will have to be placed in DMZ mode, as well. I have a friend who's using an SMC Barricade router/gateway/firewall that is an excellent device, but not capable of Port Triggering or Dynamic Ports. To video conference, that router must be placed into DMZ mode. With Dynamic Port Triggering, the router automatically adjusts port usage for the specified apps that would need it, as needed. Where I think we are running two separate ideals here is that I'm assuming that whether an SI firewall is in use or not, the router's firewall is still functional. In this scenario, it doesn't matter what the SI firewall will, or will not do. If the last firewall to govern inbound/outbound traffic is the router, it ultimately rules. Do you see my point? I think what you are telling me, correctly so, is that *if* I had a stateful inspection firewall running, and tweaked properly, I wouldn't need the hardware firewall. I wouldn't argue the point. I think you are correct, from what I have read about the way they operate. Be that as it may, it doesn't apply because it's about how to protect ourselves with what we have -- hardware firewalls that come with our IP forwarding routers -- and how to open the needed ports without excessive violation of security. To summarize, any SI firewall operating behind one of these routers is at the mercy of that

I get the following error trying to install some new KDE packages: [EMAIL PROTECTED] blackstripe]# rpm -ivh arts-1* error: failed dependencies: audiofile is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3) is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libgcc_s.so.1 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libglib-2.0.so.0 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libgmodule-2.0.so.0 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libgobject-2.0.so.0 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libgthread-2.0.so.0 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libpng12.so.0 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libpthread.so.0(GLIBC_2.3.2) is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libqt-mt.so.3 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libstdc++.so.5 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.2) is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libvorbisenc.so.2 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 libvorbisfile.so.3 is needed by arts-1.1.2-0.9x.1 Now, of course all those files are on my computer. I haven't been out of the game for that long! But why can't the computer find them? I installed everything just to avoid hassles (including obscure outdated email clients and every singlne language version of staroffice, which were later cleaned out, but the point is that EVERYTHING is here). What can I do to fix this so that I can get going on updates? Run rpm --updatedb and see if it continues. The second problem is with fonts, I know I used to have to tinker around a bit to get the anti-aliasing running and to get support for the basic internet fonts. Where do I go to find that stuff out again? Any help on these two issues would be much appreciated, most all of the other basics are taken care of. Thanks for your time. You should not have to do anything to get anti-aliasing to work if you are using a recent version of Mandrake. If by basic internet fonts you mean MS fonts you can either add them using the Mandrake Control Center or use the msfonts rpm. If you need to know where to get it let me know.

Hi George, How are you. I had this experience with knoppix, ok don't laugh. Anyway the long and the short of it is that I was left with a graphical login with an odd set of users I have never ever had anything to do with, and it was not difficult in MCC ro remove these clandestined users and put back my user, fine. Trouble is something didn't just remove and replace users it eliminated my graphical desktop choices from session types. Yes I know I can boot to desktop on the Cl, I just did so, via my previous email including kde, I guess gmone will be similar. I just wanted to learn how to set up the graphical login window to include my session choices, ie kde, gnome and icewarm, and blackbox etc., etc. I gave up in the end and elected to reinstall, but that is a windblowish solution, and I just think I would like to know how to get my session choices back in the login window. That's all. About the monitor, not had a good working M9.1 dektop to work with yet, so I'm still with M9.0 for the time being. Until and unless I get that fully working M9.1 desktop I'm affraid I cannot give a definative answer. I know the screensaver is ok, that works fine. I am not sure about full screen shutdown, don't think the settern arguement applies though ? , doesn't seem to, but I do get the old involutary screen shutdown in M9.0 as before, even with the replacement screen , so it's looking OS related to me, meaning the likelyhood of an identicle problem in both monitors is extremely long odds, but one thing I have definately noticed the involuntary screen shutdown occures infrequently BUT is most often occuring with a temperature DROP, not a rise in temperature as previously thought. So if I have a warm day or too with rising temperatures , everything is OK, but just as soon as I get a drop in temperatures , it plays up for a while. so the involuntary blank screen thing seems to be monitor related, while the planned blankscreen shutdown (with the setterm command) seems to be OS related, and therein lies the crux of the matter, two problems manifesting themselves as one problem.

Re: [newbie] SCSI Em- Again
Hi John and Tony.
I do indeed have my CDRW mounted as hdb. I did this only because I
didn't have a spare cable lying around and did have the unused connector
on my HD cable. Therefore I believe that the hdb ID is accurate if not
correct.
I actually had the CDRW working again yesterday but when I rebooted
this morning, I once got the failed does not exist at boot up and the
CDRW drive has once again disappeared from my hardware list in MCC.
John you said:
read-only
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=failsafe
root=/dev/hda6
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
append=failsafe devfs=nomount
add the hdd-ide-scsi to this append line as well.
Does that go within the quotes? And will that solve my problem or must I
go out and get an additional cable and make my CDRW either hdc or hdd in
order to get this working properly?
Tony, you asked if I had modified my fstab file myself. No I did not. To
the best of my knowledge the scd0 is my actual SCSI CD ROM drive. hdb
and scd1 are however both referring to my new CDRW drive. Do I need to
alter this? if so, what should it say? and yes both scd1 and scd0 exist
in /dev /mnt?
Again thanks for all your help.
