Well, then you've got me stumped. This is usually something you get when 
configuring virtual domains. It should have no bearing on outgoing mail. I 
had assumed it was one of your own virtual domains.

Well, if it is not your domain, you likely wouldn't like it to work anyway. 
Since it is to tell the machine to accept and deliver locally.

Thanks Gordon, I did not get that from the pppd man page but then I did not
really know what to look for.  I will certainly give the scripts a try.
After all the scripts I use now were yours  too :)

FWIW, I work with the author of the SSH+VPN HOWTO, and we plan to rewrite 
that HOWTO sometime soon.  pty-redir hasn't been required since sometime 
very shortly after it was written.

pppd has the ability to allocate a pty and run a subcommand for I/O rather 
than opening a serial device.  It's run like this:
pppd  script "ssh blah ..."

The next howto will be based on the scripts that are available at:

and then try again to re-boot...

why am i not able to setup lilo accordingly...?

It does run correctly, but only under specific conditions that I've
yet to figure out.  I have two KDE environments on 7.2 on different
machines.  xsnow runs on both, but is only visible on one of the two.
If I figure out what the problem is, I'll follow up to the list.

Linuxconf is on the second CD. But it is both untested and incomplete.
Instead pick the rpms from www.solucorp.qc.ca/linuxconf/download.hc.
You will need to install db31 from the second rh 7.2 CD because the
rpms there are built on a rh7.0 (but works on 7.2).

Netgear FA510 / RH 7.2

Anyone out there get this card to work w/ linux, specifically RH 7.2??

I've checked Netgear's site and it had a couple blurbs about some
different drivers, but no parameters to pass to the modules to get them to
load!?!

I checked the Red Hat Hardware Compatibility List and all it listed from
Netgear was the FA310TX PCI cards, which I have used (a lot), but that
doesn't help me much.

Need some help here folks!!

Actually, it means that the pam update has not been applied.  Download
the pam rpm from a trusted mirror and apply that update first.  This got

Re: IMAP secure or insecure?

[Dan Egli]

Perhaps that was the issue. When I was working with Outlook 2k it was in
exchange mode because the powers that be had decreed that our mail server
would be an exchange server (despite my adamant objections!). I was
bascially told "Setup the exchange server, or we will hire someone else to
do it."

Read: Do it our way or get fired.

So thats probably it. I had to make sure they didn't get into internet mode.
I have not looked at internet mode.

Re: IMAP secure or insecure?

[Dan Egli]

Must be a difference in our versions. Last time I looked at Outlook 2000 the
"new mail account" option you describe was not present. Perhaps my copy of
outlook was too simple? I was using Outlook from office 2k standard, not
deluxe or professional or anything. I don't have office 2k anymore, and
don't care.

I have not looked in Outlook XP because I don't have it installed (and don't
really WANT it installed. Outlook Express works great for my needs and is
MUCH smaller). so what you describe could be there in XP. I won't say either
way. No HDD space to waste with that program.

... if you do
rpm -qf /etc/pam.d/system-auth
then on a Redhat 6.2 system you should get at least this answer:
pam-0.72-20
(or pam-0.72-20.6 ?? ...not being sure ...)

If your version is older then why not get a fresher one on a
redhat 6.2 update directory ...

to test it without really installing anything you could do (if I
remember correctly 'man rpm'):
rpm -Uvh --test  

(BTW: I'm running even a pam-0.75-14, built on a Redhat 6.2 machine,
on Redhat 6.2 ...)

Best way to change the net config

[Patrick Nelson]

RH72

Post workstation install.  What is the best way to make network
configuration changes?  I'm moving systems off MS DHCP and need to
statically set their network config while I make decisions on setting up and
running DHCP or NIS on my trusty RH server.

So seeing netconf (of linuxconf which was a default part of RH62 I think)
isn't installed by default on a workstation install.  The setup program
(which calls netconfig) isn't really in depth at all and IMHO useless.  Is
there something like the old netconf or a couple of apps that will handle
everything that one configures for a network?

Where did mkpasswd go?

[Vinny Valdez]

I used to use mkpasswd to generate random passwords a long time ago, but
I cannot find it anymore.  I checked RedHat's site, and changelog for
shadow-utils2826-4 there is an entry where they removed mkpasswd.  

Why was this?  Is there any other utility for creating complex password
for multi-user management?  I know I can download one from freshmeat or
sourceforge, but I was just curious if RedHat included one, and why
mkpasswd is gone.

Thanks.

Use the info browser.  It has, built in, far more powerfull search
routines than any html mozilla find find again type thing.

For example:
info gcc 
Then press `s' and enter `long int'  The very first hit takes you to
this:
* Long Long::   Double-word integers---`long long int'.

If you click the hyper link it takes you to that info.

Or if you really get mean you can grep an info file in its entirety
like this:

 info gcc 2>/dev/null|grep 'long int'

Try `info  m Stantalone  to study how to use this
powerfull browser.

To study usage open the info browser then press C-h h for a turorial walkthru.

To see its power start info and then press
M-x info-apropos
And type in `regexp'

The info browser will tear thru your entire info installation and
compile a list of hyperlinks that lead you to discussions of regexp in
any info file.

Some people find the info browser hard to use. But I think it is
really just different than what they are used to.  With a little
practice the Standalone info browser is easily the most powerfull
interface for information gathering.  Texinfo is the absolute best
documentation method out there currently.

There are weakkneed copy cat apps like pinfo that lack the power of
the real thing.  If you learn to use it, info is a serious info
gathering tool.

Thanks, this explains the problem. I'm aware about the mode issue but I 
didn't see this because the default mode is always bin.

I actually didn't notice that the mode changes automatically to ascii if I 
provide a wrong password and when I user the ftp command "user " 
afterwards.
Is this supposed to be that way?

ASCII is not how you transfer a binary file.  Switch to binary mode first.

New wu-ftpd version BROKEN???

[Werner Puschitz]

I just upgraded a few RH 6.2 servers with wu-ftpd-2.6.1-0.6x.21.i386.rpm 
when I noticed that "ftpd" is broken. Now wu-ftp is not always copying 
the complete file any more. Here is how you can reproduce this problem on 
your 6.2 servers. (I didn't get a chance yet to test the new wu-ftp 
version on 7.2 servers.)

In order to reproduce this problem you have to ftp to a 6.2 server where 
you installed wu-ftpd-2.6.1-0.6x.21.i386.rpm. But when you are asked for 
the password, provide the wrong password. After that try to login again
but this time by executing "user " within ftp. Once you are 
logged in, try to do a get of the file wu-ftpd-2.6.1-0.6x.21.i386.rpm. 
I nodiced that it depends on the size of the file.

Here is an example:

html version of Info Pages

[Viktors]

When I use Gnome and click on the ?-mark icon on the lower
left, I get the "Gnome Help Browser" and it looks like there
is a vast amount of information there.  However, this browser
seems to have no search ability.  So, I was wondering if there
are html versions of these pages so I could at least use Mozilla
to search within a page.  Then I could also search through the
html file directories for information that is difficult to find.

For example, lets say someone wanted to use long long int for the 
first time, but didn't know what it was called in gcc, it takes quite
a bit of work to find the answer in the info pages.  What if that 
person then wants to find out how to format a 64 bit integer for
printf?  Again, a difficult task without search ability.

So, are there html pages for the info pages?  Is there another
app I don't know of that builds a keyword index of all of this
help information suitable for searching (like the MS stuff does)?

Thanks.

Ok, so I'm glad it's not just me.  I failed to mention this happens on 2
other 7.2 boxes that I have, the exact same behavior, though I'm not
worried about using the service manager on them.  

I know using rc.local isn't such a bad workaround, but what about
running a "cleanup" script if the server reboots suddenly?  I guess I
could just add a line in rc.local just before I call vncserver, like

/bin/rm -rf /tmp/.X1-lock
/usr/bin/vncserver

I just like the service manager, and would like to see it work.

Thanks.

OK, here are my assumptions...
1. You have one IP address for all of these hosts (main and otherwise).
Let's define it as 1.2.3.4

2. You have set up DNS to point www.domain.dom to 1.2.3.4. and
www.clickpatroleurope.com as a CNAME or some such.

3. You set up your "main" server using "www.domain.dom"

4. You set up your NBVH as shown below.

BindAddress *
NameVirtualHost 1.2.3.4:80

ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /home/webhome/clickpatrol

ServerName www.clickpatroleurope.com
ServerAlias clickpatroleurope.com

CustomLog logs/clickpatroleurope.com-access_log combined


The problem is that BOTH domains are 1.2.3.4 and so therefore there is no
"undefined" host for the main server to take over on (except for localhost).

So you will need a "_default_" entry and it should go before the other
vhosts.

Hope that helps.

Have fun,

OK, fess up time: I went through this whole schmozzle myself the other
day. I ended up doing the following:

/sbin/chkconfig --levels 2345 vncserver off
/sbin/service vncserver stop

In other words, killing the service management provided by RH for
Xvnc/vncserver.

I then just did a simple "vncserver" at my user prompt. It asked me for
a  password then the verify, then it forked itself off in the background
as it should and I could connect at will from my other boxes. Vncserver
is now being started in my /etc/rc.d/local instead of the init.d. Not

(highly likely) or if there really is something broken. Yes, I tried the

I'm not sure what version you're running or what you may have customized,
but that file is part of the pam package.

You may have a corrupt RPM database. You should check to see if the pam

[Apache] Using main server config _and_ virtual hosting?

[JW]

Hey,

I've hit a weird one. Most likely I'm just overlooking something but I don't know 
what, hopefully some one can point it out to me.

I have a server running Apache, all setup in the main server section. Just now I tried 
to add a name based virtual host and the NBVH seems to be "taking over" the main 
server config. It's pretty weird. In other words, when I request the original _non_ 
virtual host's URL, I'm getting the pages for the NBVH instead. 

After reading http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/examples.html#default it seems to me 
that this is not right:

"Using such a default vhost with a wildcard port effectively prevents any request 
going to the main server."

Presumign that "main server" does _not_ mean main _virtual_ server, this sounds to me 
like as long as I don't have a "_default_:*" NBVH set, any requests send to the server 
that don't match a NBVH should go to the main server config. But that is not happening.


If all of the above is confusing, just think of it this way: the NBVH is hijacking all 
requests going to the server. How do I get the NBVH to not interfere with the main 
server configuration?

Do I have set up a NBVH for the main server config too? I know I _can_, but do I 
_have_ to?

Here's the sum of everything I changed when I added the NBVH:

BindAddress *
NameVirtualHost 216.205.93.46:80

ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /home/webhome/clickpatrol
DirectoryIndex cpeindex.php
ServerName www.clickpatroleurope.com
ServerAlias clickpatroleurope.com
ErrorLog logs/clickpatroleurope.com-error_log
CustomLog logs/clickpatroleurope.com-access_log combined


If I comment those things out everything goes back to normal for the main server.

Any ideas how to get a regular server and NBVH to peacefully co-exist?

But you checked the md5 support for passwords up to 128 characters?

Otherwise you may look at this:

RE: Vncserver management

[Vinny Valdez]

Yes.  All the links are created correctly, vncserver is listed in
chkconfig (and is therefore linked in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d, as I have run
level 5 as default).  

This is not where the problem is, however.  I have the service
configured to startup (and thus shutdown) correctly.  The problem is
when RUNNING the script in /etc/rc.d/init.d, it is not correctly
starting vncserver, or correctly stopping a running pid.  I may have
thrown too much information out at once.  Here are my basic
questions/problems:

1. question: why doesn't the command `service vncserver start` start
vncserver, even though it displays the action result "[ok]"?
Investigation:  
-I have run `service vncserver status` after I try to start it (as
stated above), and it displays "Xvnc is stopped" 
-I have checked my process status for vncserver, and I don't see a pid.
I used the following method:  `ps ax | grep vncserver`.
-I have manually executed `vncserver`, which will then start the server
properly.
-I can then execute `service vncserver status` and it will report a
"Xvnc (pid xxx) is running..."
-I can also grep my processes (as I did before), and I will see the same
pid.
Also: For this reason, I cannot rely on the service being listed in
chkconfig, as this only ensures there is a link in the proper location
for startup and shutdown.  The script IS executing properly, it IS NOT
starting the server properly.  Therefore, I have had to add the entry
`/usr/bin/vncserver` in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local to start the server

2. question: why doesn't the command `service vncserver stop` stop a
running vncserver, even though it displays the action result "[ok]"?
Investigation:
-I have run `service vncserver stop` after I manually start a vncserver
(as described above), and the action result is "[ok]", but when I run
`service vncserver status` (or check ps) the pid is still running.
-I can manually kill the server with the command `vncserver -kill :1`
and it will stop correctly, and clean up the temp screen in
/tmp/.X1-lock
Also:  This is not a problem, the server stops correctly when I manually
kill it, but what happens if the system reboots unexpectedly?  I will

3. question: where can I edit what default tcp port vnc uses?
Detail:
-I am currently reading documentation on how to tunnel through ssh,
which is what I would prefer to do on a publicly accessible machine.
HOWEVER, I am only using vnc on an internal network, behind a PIX
firewall, between protected clients.  If I need to access the server
from a remote (outside the PIX) location, I vpn via a cisco 3000
concentrator using IPSEC first, then access my vncserver.  Also, on my
linux box, my iptables rules only allow internal ip address to access
only the specific ports I allow (ssh, ftp, and vnc).  
-In addition, ssh tunneling still uses a tcp port for vnc, and I would
like to know where to change this.  The vnc documentation seems to point
me in circles on where to find out how to change the port.  I don't see
it in `man vncserver` or any other docs, though I'm sure I'm overlooking
something.

Thanks.

For the automatic startup of service daemons to occur, the proper setup 
must be done in /etc/rc.d/init.d Use chkconfig to see if this has
been 
done (it is likely it hasn't).

chkconfig --list | more

look for vncserver.  you will want to start it up in at least run states
3 
and 5, i would assume.

chkconfig --level 345 vncserver on

will enable vncserver to be started up automagically.
also, the proper links, etc will be set in /etc/rc.d/init.d so that the
service command for starting/stopping vncserver can be used (also 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver start|stop|restart|status  will work)

So, does vncserver show up in chkconfig --list  ?

Jeff,
The directory that counts is /etc/rc.d   not rcN.d (N=0,1,2,3,...)
and in particular, the init.d subdirectory of rc.d
But you don't want to make entries in there by hand if you don't have to
(you could if you absolutely had to, and that is one of the GOOD THINGS 
about Linux, you can do things by hand if you have to)
Are you saying that vncserver does NOT show up in the output of
chkconfig --list ?
Usually, when a daemon service package is installed, it puts 
entries in /etc/rc.d/init.d  In particular, it puts a little shell script 
that directory to start up the daemon (this script knows where the real 
program binary is).  Symbolic links are also set up.
Using chkconfig is the clean way to do this.  However, if your
installation of vncserver did not provide this nice set up, then there is 
another way to cause services to start up when you system starts up:
YOu can put an entry in /etc/rc.d/rc.local
This is a shell script that is designed for your own "local" scripts to be 
run after all the usual "redhat provided" system startup scripts run (the 
rc3.d or rc5.d scripts are run when you enter that run level.  level 5 is 
multi-user, with X-Windows running; run level 3 is just multi-user, no X.)
If you edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local, you can always put an entry in there that
simply starts vncserver "by hand", if that is indeed what you want to do.
Note, however, that since entries have not been made in /etc/rc.d/init.d 
for vncserver, in this case, that the service command to start/stop 
vncserver would not work.  But, since you've got it started by rc.local, 
you don't need.

ftp problem and passwd >8char after 7.2 upgrade

[Dan Kirkpatrick]

After upgrading to RH 7.2, if a user has a password over 8 characters, it 
says invalid login.  If they use just the first 8 characters, it works 
but how to fix it so it will accept it regardless?

Also, I can't ftp anymore. The service is running, the user is not listed 
in /etc/ftpusers, has a valid shell... I can't figure this one...

Here's the /etc/ftpaccess:

RE: Vncserver management

[Go, Jeffrey]

Hi jerry

Can I ask a neophyte's stupid question?..

I go to my /etc file and see about 3 rc.d files...mainly rc0.d, rc1.d and
rc3.d

How would I add or what command would I use to add the VNCserver there?

For the automatic startup of service daemons to occur, the proper setup 
must be done in /etc/rc.d/init.d Use chkconfig to see if this has been 
done (it is likely it hasn't).

chkconfig --list | more

look for vncserver.  you will want to start it up in at least run states 3 
and 5, i would assume.

chkconfig --level 345 vncserver on

will enable vncserver to be started up automagically.
also, the proper links, etc will be set in /etc/rc.d/init.d so that the
service command for starting/stopping vncserver can be used (also 
/etc/rc.d/init.d/vncserver start|stop|restart|status  will work)

So, does vncserver show up in chkconfig --list  ?

Now that I look at that it is not so much pppd that I am having problems
with (we use updetach for that ) it is ssh that needs the redirection.

Hello all,

I posted this the other day and got a response suggesting I look in the BIOS 
and change the resolution that way, but the only thing in there that deals

So, I'm back to square one.  Anyone have any ideas of what I can

Re: rhnsd logs /var/log/messages

[Tammy Fox]

It is looking for the file /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid that is created
when you register your system for Red Hat Network. Turning
off the rhnsd service should stop these error messages if you
don't want to use RHN to check for updated packages automatically.

Re: How to Setup a Proxy/Firewall or Router/firewall??

[Tammy Fox]

Here is a REALLY brief explanation to get you started. 

Use one of the network cards in the firewall machine
to grab an outside Internet connection and set the IP address
of the other card to an internal IP address that is on the same
subnet as the other internal machines.

http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/networking/ipchains.shtml

After you get it working, you should add more ipchains rules to secure
your firewall and turn off as many services as possible on your
firewall machine.

So, does vncserver show up in chkconfig --list  ?

Subject:Vncserver management

I have a quick question.  Has anybody successfully used the vncserver
script in /etc/rc.d/init.d (or `server vncserver start`) on RedHat 7.2?

I can execute it, and will get the action feedback:

Starting VNC server:   [  OK  ]

But, a `ps ax | grep vnc` produces no pids.   And `serice vncserver
status` reports

Xvnc is stopped

However, if I manually run `vncserver` and then run `service vncserver
status` it will give me a pid.  I can then connect, using port 5901 (I
remember this from using vnc in the past), and also wondered where to
change this.

The last thing, is `service vncserver stop` will NOT kill the pid, and
clean up the tmp screen in /tmp/.X1-lock.  I have to remove file
manually, or the next server will run on 5902, 5903, etc.  

I only want to open up one port through my iptables set, so it would be
nice if I could manage this process properly.  The biggest problem
though, is that if the machine restarts, vncserver is not running.  I
have to add an entry to rc.local, but then it will be running on the
next avaiable screen.

Any help is appreciated.

Don't open up a port for vnc. Instead, get ssh working and then tunnel vnc through 
ssh. Much more secure.

Dont see that you have that much choice as all html tags are is
instructions to a UA ie: a browser to render the page.

You could rewrite the html so that all the files are in one page -
should not take too long - could cat the files together then remove
extraneous head tags

RE: RH 7.2 not receiving email

[Vinny Valdez]

Have you searched on this?  It is all over this list, linuxdoc.org,
google, redhat's site.  This is the default setup for RedHat/sendmail.  

http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/ref-guide/s1-ema
il-sendmail.html

You have to do two things: 

1. sendmail in RedHat 7.1 and 7.2 uses tcpwrappers.  Add appropriate
entries in /etc/hosts.allow  such as:

sendmail:

2. configure sendmail to listen to connections other than just loopback:
edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc  look for the line that says:

dnl This changes sendmail to only listen on the loopback device
127.0.0.1
dnl and not on any other network devices. Comment this out if you want
dnl to accept email over the network.

And comment out the following line.  Then, you have to generate a new
sendmail.cf.  The instructions are at the top of that file
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc.  In short, you run

m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/sendmail.cf

You may want to backup your sendmail.cf first, just in case.

Restart sendmail, viola!

tcsh tab complete & perl readdir don't see some files

[Bennett, Paul]

I have a couple RH 7.1 machines where, both the tab complete function of
tcsh and readdir call of perl don't return all the files they should in a
directory.  For instance if there are two files, test.test and test.old, tab
complete will complete test.test after entering te or may not find any
files after enter the same.  Similarly readdir in perl will return only a
some of the files in a directory.  There isn't any obvious pattern to which
files "appear" or which are unseen.  This only happens in an NFS mounted
filesystem that is XFS on SGI. 

Thanks,

Vncserver management

[Vinny Valdez]

I have a quick question.  Has anybody successfully used the vncserver
script in /etc/rc.d/init.d (or `server vncserver start`) on RedHat 7.2?

I can execute it, and will get the action feedback:

Starting VNC server:   [  OK  ]

But, a `ps ax | grep vnc` produces no pids.   And `serice vncserver
status` reports

Xvnc is stopped

However, if I manually run `vncserver` and then run `service vncserver
status` it will give me a pid.  I can then connect, using port 5901 (I
remember this from using vnc in the past), and also wondered where to
change this.

The last thing, is `service vncserver stop` will NOT kill the pid, and
clean up the tmp screen in /tmp/.X1-lock.  I have to remove file
manually, or the next server will run on 5902, 5903, etc.  

I only want to open up one port through my iptables set, so it would be
nice if I could manage this process properly.  The biggest problem
though, is that if the machine restarts, vncserver is not running.  I
have to add an entry to rc.local, but then it will be running on the
next avaiable screen.

Any help is appreciated.

Trusted Host issues.

[Michaell Taylor]

Everyone has probably seen this question a 1,000 times by now, but here goes.
I need to get a trusted host arrangement between a number of machines.  
Configurations for several machines went find, but one is giving me trouble.  
I copied the ssh_config; sshd_config from a successful implementation to the 
problem box.

MACHINE - Redhat 7.2 - openssh-2.9p2-9

client's /etc/ssh/ssh_config includes:


Host statamatic
ForwardAgent yes
ForwardX11 yes
FallBackToRsh no
Protocol 2,1
RhostsAuthentication yes
RhostsRSAAuthentication yes
DSAAuthentication yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/identity
# Be paranoid by default
Host *
ForwardAgent no
ForwardX11 yes
FallBackToRsh no
Protocol 2,1
   RhostsAuthentication yes
   RhostsRSAAuthentication yes
DSAAuthentication yes

PERMISSIONS:
-rw-r--r--1 root root 1261 Nov 30 08:35 ssh_config
-rw---1 root root 1195 Nov 27 10:53 sshd_config


When I: ssh -v -v -v statamatic I get:

debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config
debug1: Applying options for statamatic
debug1: Applying options for *
debug1: Seeding random number generator
debug1: Rhosts Authentication disabled, originating port will not be trusted.
debug1: restore_uid

MACHINE - Redhat 7.2 - openssh-2.9p2-9

Okay...so what is leading to "Rhosts Authentication disabled."  It will 
authenticate on passphrase/password. Is there another config file somewhere 
or what?

Thanks in advance.

Host machine sshd_config --- probably not important since problem seems to 
occur before this, nevertheless, greps of the more important lines:

RhostsAuthentication yes
RhostsRSAAuthentication yes
DSAAuthentication yes
RSAAuthentication yes
PasswordAuthentication yes
#SkeyAuthentication no
#KerberosAuthentication no
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key
#IgnoreUserKnownHosts yes
IgnoreRhosts no
# Uncomment if you don't trust ~/.ssh/known_hosts for RhostsRSAAuthentication
RhostsAuthentication yes
# For this to work you will also need host keys in /etc/ssh_known_hosts
RhostsRSAAuthentication yes

The ppp command now supports pty redirection directly.  I don't
remember the specifics of the command, but man ppp should show it
to you.

The old pty-redir won't work with the kernels in 7.2.  There is a
newer version on the net, but I never got it to work.  The ppp
option works great, though.

No.  THe other end will have to be an IPSec device.  For that matter, I don't

doc/smm/03.fsck_ffs/2.t

The guarantees provided by FFS make it reasonably easy for mail-handling
software to perform reliable disk transactions. The speed is adequate
for most sites.

The Linux filesystem designers, ignorant of the demands of critical
applications, screwed this up in two ways:

   * They broke compatibility, by failing to provide the FFS system
 calls with the FFS guarantees.

 They wanted an asynchronous rename(), for example. They should have
 added an asyncrename() system call. Instead they foolishly changed
 the semantics of rename(), breaking mail-handling programs.

 Of course, the incompatibility isn't obvious to people who don't
 realize that some programs rely on rename() being synchronous.

   * They didn't provide any way to perform reliable transactions, other
 than syncing the whole filesystem (with, e.g., a directory fsync).

 Even sync mode is worrisome. Has anyone verified that blocks are
 written to disk in the correct order? This is not rocket science,
 but it does require a certain level of care with every operation.

 Supposedly there's a faster transaction mechanism now, but I don't
 trust it. Do the people writing the filesystem code understand that
 there _is_ a correct order for block writes?

The situation since then has become even worse. Filesystem reliability
has gone down the tubes: users are regularly suffering data corruption,
even when there _isn't_ a crash. There are at least four different
filesystem transaction interfaces.

I'm reorganizing most of my create-one-file programs to use a generic
atomicwrite tool, so that all the stupid portability issues are isolated
inside one program. Meanwhile, qmail 2 uses its own internal filesystem
for the queue.

First, did you run newaliases after you added the entry?  
Secondly, what does /var/log/maillog say?
Do you see /var/spool/mail/x1?  If so, then the alias is not working.

Running LILO??  If so, at the prompt, type:  linux 3
That should boot you into console mode w/o X
In GRUB, I believe you have to hit "e" to edit the boot line.  I don't use
grub, but I believe after hitting e you'll be able to enter linux 3;
hopefully a GRUB user will correct me if I'm wrong.

When you switch to root use the dash to get root's environment, including
the path:

  su -

Then /sbin and /usr/sbin will be in your path.
