Corrupted [messages] Log Files

2001-04-25 Thread Max
After getting a -huge- telephone bill from Telstra (in Australia, where we -still- pay for local calls), we thought to analyze the e-smith's logs to con- firm that we had, in fact, made so many calls (or otherwise)... since the line is exclusively e-smith's. Unfortunately, we found the log files

[Cosmetic?] BUG Changing configuration (in 1 of 2 ways)

2001-04-25 Thread Max
Just before our recent experiments with remote SSH access. we used the text-based e-smith manager (via telnet) to -change- the seldom-changed range of IP addresses available to the DHCP server for lease to LAN clients... We reduced the number of IP adr's in the range, as well as the endpoints...

Q How to make e-mail avail to e-mail client "pine"?

2001-04-25 Thread Max
Pine is an e-mail client resident on e-smith; although able to -send- e-mail well enough, pine hasn't shown any signs of ability to receive a user's e-mail. Pine's list of parameters contains one in which to place the name of a smtp server (the e-smith box's mail server is there), but there does

Q: Config'g PuTty as SSH for e-smith 4.1.1

2001-04-25 Thread Max
Someone has suggested that PuTty's default config'n works "out of the box" with e-smith... I guess my question is where do we get a private key (et al.) for authentication, if this is required? Surely, there must be -something- sent from one party to the communications to the other, if there is

Where to find log of outbound dialup's by e-smith?

2001-04-25 Thread Max
We just got a MASSIVE telephone bill that suggests we've made (on average) 10 calls per day to our ISP (which, I should tell you, hangs up every 4 hours). Since we have e-smith configured (dur- ing each of the 3 defined time-periods) for "continuous" connection, ee expected an average of -about-

Why multiple httpd (11 ea) & httpd-admin (4 ea)?

2001-04-25 Thread Max
Using e-smith 4.1.1 on a farily modest Amd486 box (120 MHz with 24 MB RAM & Realtek PCI NIC), we've noticed some unexplaned disk activity, at times. Today, after creating 2 new Users (on an otherwise clean, newly installed 4.1.1 box, running - by admin since 1 Mar or so), we had a look at active
