RE: large IDE disks (was Re: [SLUG] IDE Raid Controllers)
This is correct, but Linux will see them correctly even if the BIOS doesn't.

RE: [SLUG] Sendmail giving 553 rejection errors.
Sendmail says:
.. Domain of sender address [EMAIL PROTECTED] does not exist.
This means sendmail cannot resolve the name. So look at name resolution
again. I would suspect the fault there.
Note: Sendmail will prefer to use named to resolve names before /etc/hosts.
You mentioned internal IP addresses. How do you resolve the name to it?

OK I read ahead for the replies but every one of them missed the point. Fetchmail in this case is picking up mail OK from the pop server but then tries to deliver mail locally. It does this by making an SMTP connection to the local sendmail. In this case you've somehow denied the local machine from doing this. Please adjust your /etc/mail/access file here's mine which I think is the default. (I went from RH7.0 to 7.1 to 7.2 using upgrades). # Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf file for a description # of the format of this file. (search for access_db in that file) # The /usr/share/doc/sendmail-8.11.6/README.cf is part of the sendmail-doc # package. # # by default we allow relaying from localhost... localhost.localdomain RELAY localhost RELAY 127.0.0.1 RELAY Note you could also add 192.168.1. RELAY to allow your local workstations to RELAY (ie send email) through this machine assuming you're using 192.168.1.x addresses. After you make changes in /etc/mail it's usually a good idea to run 'make' within that directory. This should cure your problem. Other possible stuffups could include /etc/sysconfig/sendmail having DAEMON=no instead of DAEMON=yes, or simply not having sendmail running but I think it is running in daemon mode in your case. Also, check over /etc/mail/local-host-names if you're doing multiple domains. (It's the old /etc/sendmail.cw just moved. It has one domain per line.) -- -- Web: www.arcadia.au.com/gripz Phone/fax: 02 4950 1194 Mobile: 0408 686 201 -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

RE: [SLUG] Can't resolve outside sites after new Deb installation.
Hi, OK, great, a routing lesson. You have to see your machine not as one machine having several IP addresses, but instead see your machine as different interfaces, that interact and send data to each other. Your localhost interface (lo) is one, your ethernet card (eth0) is another and your dialup (ppp0) is yet another. When trying to make a connection to a server on the Internet you are essentially sending a network packet, which, amongst other things, contains a sender IP address (your outgoing interface's IP address) and a destination IP address (the IP address of the server you requesting data from). This network packet now looks at your routing table to see where the destination IP address is located. A routing table could look something like this (Hint: route -n) : 192.168.1.10 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 00 eth0 127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 00 lo 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG0 00 eth0 This shows the packet, that it has to look for any IP addresses, other than 192.168.1.10 (which is the own ethernet adapter) and 192.168.1.xxx (which is your own network) via 192.168.1.1 (which is the default gateway for all addresses other 192.168.1.xxx). So by pointing your default route via gateway localhost on eth0 with 'route add default gw localhost eth0' you totally confused networking telling your TCP network packet to look for all destination IP addresses via gateway localhost (which normally is assigned to the interface lo), but look for localhost through your ethernet card (eth0). Makes no sense? Correct, because it doesn't. If you want to do this sort of thing use: route add default eth0 Yet this will still not show your TCP network package to find the way out of your local network to the WWW (wide wide world ; - ) ). With the above routing you should be able to see any servers on the same network as your machine, but you should be unable to see anything else (there might be exceptions, so do not flame me). With: route add default gw eth0 you should see the world. Hope this helps.

Bernhard Luder wrote: > it needs a default route and default gateway > route add default gw 192.168.0.1 eth0 OK thanks - working now. I did this but used the static IP address assigned to my machine instead of the 192 one - is that correct?. Well it certainly works, now I can reach outside. OK I can understand that the packets need to be told where to go but as I am at a uni site, ie not dialup, why would the gateway be set to be my own machine? Just to try things I therefore tried route add default gw localhost eth0 but it does not work. Clearly I dont really follow whats happening here. RedHat obviously set this for me last time.

Hi Guys, Well have not many students for a while so took the opportunity yesterday to `upgrade' my RedHat 6'ish to Debian. I'll bother you with a few things today :-) Can't yet use apt-get as it can't stat the sources. Why? Well I can't even ping the URLs in the sources. ping www.uts.edu.au "unknown host" If I ping our nameserver here by ip address I get: "Network is unreachable" Ok so this tells me why I can't get very far. My resolve.conf seems OK search chem.uts.edu.au nameserver correct_ip_address1 nameserver correct_ip_address1 My host.conf order hosts,bind multi on Note that resolve.conf and host.conf are the same as I had before with RH and that worked. I had tar balled etc away so can refer to it. I can also telnet fine into other machines which I have listed in my hosts file. These machines are on the same network internally. ifconfig says eth0 is up ok. Route shows: Destination Gateway etc Iface localnet * etc eth0 There is no default route. I though maybe I needed that but I dont think so as the RH didn't have one set and my IRIX box next to me doesnt have one either for here. What do I check now?

RE: [SLUG] MS Linux gets closer
The way I see this is, that MS is testing the GPL water with a relatively small investment (at least small for MS). Naturally they will want to get MS products running on Linux. Even though that will get people upset I think it is a good thing, because we then get an opportunity to offer Linux as a desktop operating system alternative to WIN, because most people do not give a hoot about what OS they are running as long as it has a GUI and Linux has no shortage of that (as we all know) and as along as it runs the generally accepted Office packages, which (unfortunately) are mostly WORD and EXCEL. I also would prefer them running none-MS products. However one needs be realistic, that most decision makers in businesses are affected by the MS hipe and therefore perceive MS to be the "better" solution and often choose MS products over others against the better advise of their computing specialists, even though other (incl. desktop) applications are better in relality. However on the other hand it gives us the opportunity to directly compare MS with other products on the same platform. I see that as a advantage as long as those other products actually are able to compete in function and reliablity. So my suggestion to the other Linux office suite developers (if there's any listening) is: Pullup your socks. Now is the time to market your product. And it needs to be marketed as a total solution including the OS (Linux) and it needs to be able to easily handle (open and close and create MS .doc and .xls files). Pricewise there is a lot of scope for a good package, because you will be competing with MS not only with the other Linux office suite developers. Bernhard Luder ICQ 26070583 P.S.
