[SLUG] Redhat 7.2 sendmail
Help, please, I just make the (perhaps serious) mistake of upgrading a Redhat 7 installation to 7.2. I know that the default sendmail configuration is funny, so changed it according to stuff in the archives. Still no joy popping mail from my servers - I get this message: fetchmail: SMTP> MAIL FROM:<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> fetchmail: SMTP< 550 5.0.0 Access denied fetchmail: SMTP> RSET fetchmail: SMTP< 250 2.0.0 Reset state flushed fetchmail: POP3> DELE 2 - This happens with every message on the server. I get no local delivery. The maillog shows: Dec 20 17:13:15 sage sendmail[3194]: fBK6DFo03194: tcpwrappers (localhost, 127.0.0.1) rejection Dec 20 17:13:17 sage sendmail[3194]: NOQUEUE: localhost [127.0.0.1] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA for each message that is trashed.

[SLUG] problem installing linux on ye olde HD
Hi. I am trying to install RedHat 7.1 linux on a Pentium 75 with a conner CFS425A HD. Unfortunately the installer tells me that "no valid block devices found". I was going to give up and assume it just couldnt be supported but poking around the internet it seems that others are usng it without problems. I also get a message saying " unknown EDD 0x200 supported". I have tried specifying the HD geometry on installation but this doesnt seem to help either. The drive works fine with windows so its not a fault with the drive itself. Any pointers would be great. thanks.

Yes Thanks Alen, I didn't have that on my system but a quick apt-get got it. Now I have to still work out why that will work but normal lpr wont' It's certainly something to do with access permissions. Thanks Ken too. I will setup my hosts files like you have and see what happens there. I will leave you all with a funny from a google translation. I entered "Your host does not have line printer access" and hit `translate' from German for the 1st hit. Symptom: They try to print out something over a print server (a printer at a distant computer); it fails with the message: lpd: Your host of does emergency have LINE printer ACCESS. A cause: The message says it: Their local computer may not do over the distant computer something expressions. Solution: De-energise the local computer on the print server, by them on the print server your local computer into the file /etc/hosts.equiv.

[SLUG] getmail + sendmail
I'm configuring getmail on the server to check our various external mailboxes and consolidate them locally into mail accounts on the server. I run sendmail as a local SMTP server and to prevent local emails from going out to the net for delivery, and was anticipating that getmail would post mail to the sendmail mailboxes. However, the getmail documentation (such as it is) says it does not need to use an MTA, but suggests that if you want to, use qmail. It supports three types of mailboxes: mbox files, qmail Maildirs or piped to a command (but not as root). The questions are: 1. If I don't use an MTA, how would I configure the WinNT email clients (Pegasus 4)? 2. Can I use sendmail as the MTA? If so, how do I configure the getmail output? 3. What's an mbox? 4. The piped to command seems a bit risky, according to the documentation: is it a good option to send the mail to sendmail? How would this work - would sendmail know which mailbox it should go to? -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Redhat 7.2 *does* include iptables in the default kernel. However, their /etc/init.d/iptables script first checks to see if ipchains is running by looking for the ipchains module in lsmod. Redhat is probably using ipchains, even though you selected no firewall. Try "rpm -e ipchains" or otherwise stop /etc/init.d/ipchains from running at bootup. To test this theory without modifying your system, try service stop ipchains rmmod ipchains# There *might* be other modules using # this, if so remove those too. service start iptables I *think* that should be sufficient. If it works, the "service start iptables" will show an "[ OK ]" line, otherwise it'll do nothing and give no output. -Andrew. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

By the way, George Vieira gave me a couple of pointers. It turns out I already have iptables installed. The problem was that the firewall script was looking explicitly for "v1.2" when RH 7.2 has version 1.2.3, so a quick mod to their script to sed out anything after "v1.2" should keep me going for a few minor version changes :-). I do still have some issues because some of the lines of the script are generating errors saying something like "TOS not supported", so I have to track that down, but George has suggested to upgrade to whatever the lates iptables is, so I might just try that before worrying about it too much.

[SLUG] Building new kernel
I installed Redhat 7.2 yesterday. Because I felt my system needed a little rejuvenation, I decided to do a fresh install. I tried to make sure I had a backup of all my important files and, generally, I think that went OK and I now have many gigabytes of free space that was previously taken up by things I'd installed and never used. Anyway, to my question ... I decided to choose for the install not to set up a firewall, because I had an iptables script that I'm happy with and was planning on using that. However, it would appear that iptables support isn't included in the kernel that was installed by RH 7.2 (2.4.7). That may simply be because I asked for no firewall, but I don't know. If that's the case, I think it's kind of poor that they would leave out such support, given that one might easily decide to add firewalling later, but I guess that's a design decision on their part. Anywa, I tried booting the 2.4.13 image I had been using previously, but hit a problems because it didn't support ext3, which I'd chosen when I installed the RH 7.2 system ... that was another reason I decided to go with a new install. So, I've downloaded 2.4.16 and am currently building that, after having made sure it's including modules for both ext3 and iptables. Once I finish the "make modules", I'm going to have to do a "make install modules" ... I believe? What I'm worried about is whether if the new kernel fails, I'll end up not being able to boot the 2.4.7 kernel that came with RH 7.2, since I assume the "make install modules" will scribble over its modules. Do I need to worry about that, or do modules get installed somewhere based on the kernel you've built? Also, RH 7.2 uses GRUB and it refers to an initrd file that has a kernel version number in it. How do I make an equivalent for my new kernel ... or can I safely use the one that the 2.4.7 kernel is using? Any other issues I should worry about? If someone can point me to a URL where I can find a detailed explanation of these sorts of things, that would be great.

Basically, it allows you to assign a priority to in/out packets of certain types, so you could assign a lower priority to, for example, http packets... Not cheap, though.
