Not sure of your question, but maybe it's this:
echo 'joe.user.example.com' | sed 's/\./^/g'
This changes all the dots in the address to carats.

AOL DHCP/Cable Modem Problem: Another soltuion using /etc/mailertable
Per Steve Cowles on the Shrike list, here's another way to solve the AOL/DHCP issue. I like this better than the SMARTHOST option, as it allows finer control over the delivery. I've tried it and it works fine with AOL and allows me to send other mails without relaying through my ISP. Quoting Mr. Cowles (with a couple of minor edits): "For each domain you want to send through your ISP's SMTP server, add an entry to /etc/mailertable. Example (as root) #cd /etc/mail #vi mailertable aol.com esmtp:smtp.yourisp.net rr.com esmtp:smtp.yourisp.net #make No need to restart sendmail because you're editing a database file. The "make'" recreates the database from the ascii file you edited. Now test by sending to a buddy at aol". If, however, you've used the SMARTHOST option, as I had, you'd need to edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc to comment out this option, remake and restart Sendmail.

Well, yes and no, IMHO. When I first set up my Red Hat box at home and started using Mutt ... around 4 or so years ago ... Sendmail was part of the default installation from Red Hat (probably 6.0). Taking the default install for Mutt to me meant using Fetchmail to POP from my cable provider and Sendmail to send outgoing. It never occurred to me to think that I was doing other than sending via my ISP for outgoing, nor was there anything in any documentation I read (and I DO read it) to tell me I was, in effect, setting up a server. Also, when I first began using Optimum Online, I was assigned a static address. Am I a mail/Sendmail guru? No. Am I an imprudent newbie? No. I'm a developer with a good number of years in the Linux world. My take on this is that this is evolutionary. A few years ago, when spam was a minor issue, it didn't matter. Now it does...like so many things that have changed in response to new security issues.

I have no problem with anyone except AOL As a result of the info in this thread, I've discovered that the Red Hat default for Sendmail is to send directly to the recipient and, in my case, not go through my ISP's SMTP Server. Feedback from the Mutt list (as that's what I use) is to find the line: dnl define(`SMART_HOST',`smtp.your.provider') in sendmail.mc, change to define(`SMART_HOST', `mail.optonline.net'), remove 'dnl_' and run the Sendmail Macro. I've examined my mail log and don't see anything suspicious to suggest my having been used as a spam relay. Thanks to all for help on this. I've learned a good bit.

I am a home user, running stock Red Hat 9, using Sendmail. The only "server" software I run on this box is MySQL, for local use only. I do not run any DHCP sofware on this machine. My ISP, Cablevision, does. So, this AOL policy blocks ALL Optonline subscribers from sending to any AOL customer. This is grossly offensive by AOL.

Re: Help a newbie to install Sun Java IDE... please!
Point granted. However, as I recall from when I did this install (a while ago) what I came up against was that the way Red Hat sourced various other startup files when starting an interactive non login bash shell, this was the only way I could figure out to prevent multiple instances of the Java part of the path. I'd have to trace back through the config file sourcing to remember all the gory details, which mercifully I've forgotten ;) But, this accomplishes what I wanted: System wide access to jdk without multiple instance of the java sub-path.

Re: Help a newbie to install Sun Java IDE... please!
I have this in /etc/profile: if ! echo $PATH | /bin/grep -q "/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/bin"; then PATH="$PATH:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/java/jdk1.3.1/bin" This makes the jdk available to all users. It also eliminates the potential for appending the java sub-path more than once, which can easily happen with an out of the box Red Hat install.

My experience is that it is well worth reading the CD Writing HowTo (easily found), man cdrecord and mkisofs. Once you've got it, it's a snap to burn a cd using cdrecord and, in my experience, much faster than any gui based front end.

The latest version of galeon, 1.2.5-1, needs Mozilla 1.0. Mozilla 1.1 will break it. The best you can do for now is to upgrade to Galeon 1.2.5 and Mozilla 1.0, assuming you want to keep Galeon. Otherwise, remove Galeon and all should be fine. There is said to be a new release of Galeon "in the works" but I have no handle on the time frame.

Re: RH7.3 boot freeze
I had a simlar problem upgrading to 7.2. It was caused by attempting to do a file check on the vfat/dos partitions. The way I fixed was to boot into linux single user. Edit /etc/fstab, checking that your vfat/dos partitions end like this: /dev/hdb1 /mnt/ddrive vfat user,owner,exec,dev,suid,rw,conv=auto,uid=500,gid=500,auto 0 0 The critical part is the two 0's.

Re: Accessing a SparQ Drive: Solved!
Got it...without an excessive amount of wizardry ;) The only screwy part was the hardware, as I'd never worked with this gadget before. Once I figured out that I had to first: Start up the device, before system power up, using the startup cartridge that comes with the SparQ drive, all went well. The steps were: modprobe paride modprobe epat modprobe pd By having a terminal open running $tail -f /var/log/messages I could see pd establishing the drive as /dev/pda1. I simply then inserted the source cartridge into the drive mount -t msdos /dev/pda1 /mnt/sparq. copied the files I wanted did a umount had a beer :) After that, nothing unique. The kernel source documentation was my answer, at /usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.4.18/paride.txt, on my machine. Like I say, the linux part was easy (of course) the hardware part was tedious.

Observation: cdrecord easier to use than I realized :)
Just an observation. Until just now, I'd been intimidated by the, um, opaque (IMHO) man page of cdrecord. I'd fumbled around with Xcdroast and the burner software on my Windows partition to burn iso images. (I'd gotten ide-scsi emulation working sometime ago on the linux box). Well, today, as root, I executed the following "exotic" command at my bash prompt: cdrecord -vv dev=1,0 valhalla-docs.iso ^^ (I like lots of output) Sure enough, cdrecord went without a hitch. On my somewhat older CD-RW, (4x,2x,24x), the write time for the docs iso, about 55.5 megs, was 91 seconds. I assure you this way outperforms the Windows GUI tool. So, the point is that cdrecord is a lot easier to use than I'd thought...arguably easier than a gui interface ... at least for iso images. Good work, and thanks, to Jorge Schilling :) -- John P.

Re: RH vs. LILO
My machine is a dual boot Win 98 / RH 7.3. I use PM's Boot Magic, installed on my MBR, as my primary boot manager. I use LILO, installed in my linux boot partition, as my secondary boot loader to load Red Hat. You might try: 1) Booting into Windows to make sure Boot Magic installed and working. Make emergency boot discs using Partition Magic and Windows while you're there. 2) Do a reinstall of RH 7.2, installing LILO in your /boot partition, NOT your Master Boot Record (MBR). Do be sure that your /boot partition is below the 1024 cylinder boundary. You may need to juggle things around with Partition Magic to get it this way. BTW, Partition Magic 5.0 will NOT work with Ext3 file systems. 3) Go back to Windows and add the linux partition to your Boot Magic menu. 4) Reboot the machine and see that Boot Magic gives you Windows and Linux as options. When you choose Linux, you'll go to the LILO menu. Choose linux again. This works for me.

Joe, I commend you on your acumen in carrying out the upgrade/ximianisation, as you've described. You are at a different level than I, for sure. When I attempted the upgrade of my ximianised 7.1 machine, I followed the Red Hat release notes, which are, as I recall, identical to the release notes for 7.3. After upgrade, I went (whilst logged in to a Ximian Gnome desktop) to the Ximian site to perform a reinstall. It simply bombed. The machine was unusable as a gnome machine. KDE worked, however.

The only thing that worked for me was to remove all the ximian rpms, using a KDE Konsole. Presulably a regualr console would work as well. What I did was rpm -qa | grep ximian | lpr, then rpm -e --force foo.rpm-ximian through the whole list. This will leave your machine unusable as a gnome machine.

Read the 7.3 release notes, section titled, "Distribution General Notes", on CD1 very carefully for a broader discussion of this issue. I used Ximian over 7.1 and liked it very much.
