[SLUG] No modem connection with Red Hat 9
We have installed Red Hat 9 on an Compaq Armada. All seem to work well except for the modem. The installer could not recognize the internal modem so used the generic modem settings. When we try to connect to a dial up ISP nothing happens. There are no dialing tones. I can not seem to find any way to dial manually as I would be able to do with Remote Access ( I am a Mac convert) Any suggestions Thanks Rovert -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] Kernel upgrade question

Since this is a new thing for me (I generally stick within Kernel releases that come with a MDK distro) I was wondering if someone knew the general gotchas that might bite me (as it where). I'm probably a bit late on this. Been away from email for a few days. Mandrake have got 2.4.25 in their cooker development branch. I'm currently running 2.6 from the same. I've generally had no problems upgrading kernels from Mandrake built RPMs. Your /etc/lilo.conf will end up a bit messier, but that's not an insoluble problem. If I were you, I'd install this package: ftp://sunsite.uio.no/pub/unix/Linux/Mandrake/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/kernel-2.4.25.0.pre7.3mdk-1-1mdk.i586.rpm You'll also find packages for various 2.6 kernels in that directory also, but a newer 2.4 is an easier migration path. As always, keep your existing kernel around when you do this stuff, or at least keep a working boot disk/cd handy. I need to do this as a certain dvb package insists I need at least 2.4.23 to run. If it sounds too hard to resolve possible dependency issues, I'll change tack and try the back releases of the DVB s/w. So, if it's an RPM package, the other option is just to let urpmi resolve any dependencies (kernel or otherwise) and not worry about it.

[SLUG] Open Source Industry Australia - Mailing Lists Up | Web-Site In First Revision (fwd)
Since there's a lot of people on here trying to sell linux solutions to their clients I feel this post is of interest to some of SLUG and LCON subscribers. In fact this is kinda the next level up from a discussion started prior to the Brisbane LCA which resulted in the Linux Consulting BOF's and the LCON (linux consultants) mailing list. This mailing list supersedes the lcon mailing list and I'd encourage switching over. (I started the LCON list so no probs there).

[SLUG] exim4 and amavisd
hi slugs, i have tried to setup amavisd-new + exim4 + clamavd. so, this seems to work to a certain degree :(( clamavd is running and is working. also exim4 as a stand-alone mail server (no amavisd integration). but the problem is, that when i try to follow the instructions posted on http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=228717 the mails are no longer delivered. exim accepts the messages via port 25 or the command line mail tool and thats all. no further processing is done. the mainlog of exim4 shows the following line ([EMAIL PROTECTED] is a placeholder, not the actual value): 004-02-09 03:00:50 1Aq0aV-r8-MK == [EMAIL PROTECTED] R=amavis T=amavis defer (-53): retry time not reached for any host exim is not forwarding the mails to the amavis daemon. i can turn of amavisd and there is no error message about a rerfused connection in the exim log. when i remove the amavis config files mentioned in the bug report above from the exim-config-dirs, evrything is working fine. amavisd and clamavd dont write anything into there logs - except the startup messages. so any ideas?

[SLUG] [OT] Mail relaying problem
Slighty off topic. I run my own MTA and domain at home and I have noticed recently that a couple of free email people are rejecting mail but not sending back any 5xx. For example I was speaking with a friend of mine at hotmail.com and everything was wokring fine until about early last week and then I noticed that we had stopped emailing. I checked with her and its seem like she never recieved any of the emails. I come from Telstra's Cable network so its probably on some RBL list (well it is for AOL). So work around i now send all my mail via telstra mail-hub. I would rather not as it has had problems. But doesn't this mean that hotmail is breaking the MTA rules, if they are going to not deliver an email shouldn't they give a proper 5xx return code?

Not freeswan, but super-freeswan - www.freeswan.ca The feature you are looking for is nat traversal. afaik there is no deb for it - and you need to recompile the kernel for nat traversal.
