Re: www-data sends email to itself (bad interpreter)

2001-10-28 Thread Ian Marlier
Dunno what the interpreter error is, but...seems to me that you can just add an entry like www-data: root to /etc/aliases and then run newaliases (if you're runnign sendmail, anyway), and then the e-mails are visible again... - Ian At 11:38 AM -0700 10/27/01, Erik Steffl wrote: I ha

bind pop/ftp/sendmail to a port?

2001-10-03 Thread Ian Marlier
I'm running a machine with multiple ethernet interfaces. The box runs sendmail, pop, and ftp...but I can't figure out how to make any of them bind to a specific one of the eth ports...it's not documented! Help! ipop2d, ipop3d, and ftpd are all run out of inetd. Sendmail runs as a daemon. -

Re: DNS/DHCP servers (possibly?)

2001-10-01 Thread Ian Marlier
I can't really speak to the DNS part of this issue, but at the very least you can keep the IP address of each machine static using DHCP... Install DHCP, and then edit the /etc/dhcpd.conf file. Give global parameters (subnet info, nameserver addresses, etc) -- it's all in the dhcpd.conf man pa

SUID

I feel like an idiot asking this, but how does one set something to run SUID? I can't figure out what change has to be made...I tried RTFM, but didn't see anything that seemed relevant, even in the man files for sudoers and the like. - Ian -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] 773 667 9763 (home) 773 844 0

I'm trying to build snort 1.8.1 on my Debian box (2.4.8 kernel from BenH source, PowerPC machine), and I get the errors below. I wonder if someone could either point me to the source of the errors, or maybe explain how to debug them myself. I'd think that it was a missing include file or some

I upgraded my system to the newest libc6 in order to get iptables to work, and discovered 2 things: 1) iptables still doesn't work and 2) sendmail is broken now, because of the berkeley DB 2 problem. But I can't just use apt or dpkg or something to go back to the stable version of libc6, because

My 5th grade final project in 1987 was to write a program in BASIC, on an Apple ][e, that would allow basic stock-trading...lot of user input, filesystem read/writes, etc...about 5 of 15 of us managed to get it working in the couple weeks that we had, without much help...so it's not THAT hard.
