Re: mail server
I am currently using smail with qpopper for doing almost exactly what you are wanting to do. The only difference is that I have a seperate router for my internet connection. Which questions are you not sure about? Daniel Quinlan wrote: hi, I'm setting up a debian box which will act as the internet connection and mail server. What I'd like to do is have all mail delivered to the debian box be retrieved by the user via POP3 and all mail sent from users (from their win95 desktops) forwarded by the mail server to a smarthost. Now when I go to install the standard mail server (smail?) it offers a couple of choices, I'm not sure which one would be appopriate.

Resolved: Strange Network problem
Martin, I thought it was DNS at first also, then I was covinced it was routing, now I am pretty sure that it is DHCP on the Winblows machine. In NT you cannot change to a smaller subnet that 255.255.255.0 ( for DHCP), and mine is .224. I decided to start using static and now everything is fine. This is a good temporary solution until I get the router on a real router and set up my own DNS server. Then I think DHCP will work better over our network, and I think the NT machine will serve better as a coffee table.

I think this is a DNS problem. Your linuxbox has trouble resolving the names of the machines in your LAN. Do you have a line nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx in your /etc/resolv.conf ? I had a similar problem today. I deleted the nameserver lines and couldn't connect with telnet and ftp timed-out after one statusline. Other services worked as well, as long as they didn't try to resolv a name. Ping worked just right. In my case, the tcp wrapper wanted to use 0.0.0.0 as address for a nameserver when it didn't find an entry in resolv.conf . Hope this helps.

Strange Network problem
Hello, I am experiencing a strange network problem and I do not know if my Debian 1.3.1 kernel 2.0.32 machine is the problem, or an NT Server being the cause. I have an NT Server acting as a router with my Debian machine serving my web page and mail server. Here's the problem, when I hit the web server or mail server from outside my network (via internet) my access is great. The mail pulls fast and the web site loads quick. However, when I am dialed into my network or plugged into the hub on my subnet, connecting to my web server or mail server is very slow. I will eventually connect and then the mail pulls fine, but the next time I need to send a message or refresh the web site, it is super slow connecting again. I am not the only one, everyone has the same problem. Here is the strange part, I can surf outside my network great and come in from outside my network just great. I do not know if I need to add any kind of routing entries to the Debian machine since it is not acting as the router. Also, when I add a certain host to my Debian /etc/hosts file.the access is great. The only reason I do not want to add every host in the /etc/host file is becuase the NT machine is running DHCP and everything used to work anyway. It only started being this slow when the NT machine got rebooted. The NT Server is the only machine in the host file outside of the loopback. I can also flood the machines on the network with ping -f and not lose any packets My setup = debian 1.3.1 kernel 2.0.32 on a pentium 150. web server = apache no errors mail server = smail .no errors pop server = qpopper (2.2).one-reocurring 110 error ( connot get canonical name of ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) in /var/adm/messages...I think this particular machine is just configured wrong in its email setup. No errors in dmesg either. We burned down the NT machine and reloaded everything.problem persists. I put a LAN Meter on the network, nothing out of the ordinary such as the minimal amount of broadcast packets. There seems to be no way to pin this one down. Has anyone ever seen this before? Am I just missing some sort of ifconfig command somewhere? Any fresh ideas would greatly be appreciated.

Serial Direct Connect
Hello all: Can any one give me advice on how to set up one of my serial ports for a direct terminal connection? All I need is a terminal session at 9600 - 8 - n - 1 for this, and it will not talk to a modem. I will not be talking DTE to DTE, it will be DCE to DTE via a serial data connection.

Smail pop3
Can anyone tell me how to configure smail as a pop3 server? I can send from my Netscape just find but I cannot pull the messages off the server with Netscape. When I'm on the mail server, I can check my mail just fine also. I am setting up my pop3 (and SMTP)server in Netscape as the machinename.domain.com and it works to send. The server will send and receive, but Netscape cannot even connect to the mail server to pull the messages from it. Any clues?

RAID5
Hello all: Can anyone point me in a good direction to learn how to set up RAID5 ? I am wanting to add three SCSI drives to my 1 EIDE Drive system. I am thinking that I could add another EIDE drive as a mirror to the boot device/operating system, and RAID5 the 3 SCSI devices for mass storage and speed for applications. Can anyone help, or does it even sound like a good idea? Also, I am running 1.3.1, kernel 2.0.32 ( I think, after I recompiled the kernal via rlogin, I rebooted and could never reconnect) I hope it worked, but now I have to wait until this weekend to make a trip out to my box. This is why I wanted to get some information about RAID5 in advance. Thanks for any input.

Re: Eth0
Problem solvedthanks to a tip from Kevin Traas. All I had to to was run modconf and it worked. I did have everything else that I could think of ( like LILO) configured, but this was the missing step. Thanks to everything for the help. Greg Green Wintermute wrote: Bill Leach wrote: Greg; first under Linux there will not be and should not be a device file in /dev for your ethernet card.

Eth0 is not even in /dev, so I tried MAKEDEV -c eth0 and the error is unkown device or group eth0. Can anyone help me get this configured properly? I would appreciate any input. Good to know I'm not the only user out here with this problem. 1st steps to take when this happens is to disable plug and play on the card using the 3c5x9cfg.exe program that comes on the installation diskette. Next set the IO address and the IRQ to something reasonable with that same program (it should tell you whether or not those values you choose conflict with something else in the system). Next either compile the driver support into the kernel or as a module. If as a module uncomment the line in conf.modules that says: alias eth0 3c509 .. and make sure that if there is an options line for the 3c509 in that file that the IO and IRQ options are set correctly. If in the kernel try putting this on the lilo boot prompt: ether=10,0x300,0,0,eth0 .. after the boot selection entry. Make SURE to do a HARD BOOT (power your machine down and then back up again) after you have disabled plug and play with the DOS utility. If this stuff doesn't work, get back with me, I've stock piled a lot of stuph that might help...

xdmfvwm
Hi, I am new to Debian Linux and I am having problems with xdm and fvwm. When I used Red Hat Linux, all I had to do to get Xwindows to start at login was to edit the /etc/inittab to go default to run level 4. Now, I am running Debian 1.30 and do not even see a reference to xdm in the /etc/inittab. I am obviously missing some key point, can anyone help? Also, when I startx manually, the system will not use my .fvwmrc. I get too many errors to list here, but all I did was copy the /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fvwm/system.fvwm to my $HOME/.fvwmrc and tried to add an additional xterm at start-up, and change to setroot color to solid SteelBlue. I don't believe these changes made any impact because when I keep the defaults in my .fvwmrc, and try and refresh fvwm, I get the same errors. Has anyone had similar problems? Please let me know if you have. Thanks, Greg Green [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: xdmfvwm
Thanks Colin and Robert. These are not the only problems I am having, so I decided to just re-install. This should clear up any problems! I need the practice anyway. Thanks, Greg Green Colin R.

To get xdm going: 1) change /etc/X11/config to start xdm (i.e. remove the no- ). Mine looks like # This file contains configuration flags for the X Window System. # For a description of the meanings of the flags, see # /usr/doc/X11/debian.README no-run-xconsole obey-nologin allow-user-resources allow-user-modmap allow-user-xsession allow-failsafe start-xdm xdm-start-server 2) Make sure an X server is specified in /etc/X11/xdm/Xservers something like # xbase and xserver configuration scripts. :0 local /usr/X11R6/bin/X -bpp 16 3) Edit any other files that you wich to customize in /etc/X11/xdm 4) run /etc/init.d/xdm start I may have forgotten something, but that should work. Also, when I startx manually, the system will not use my .fvwmrc.

I don't believe these changes made any impact because when I keep the defaults in my .fvwmrc, and try and refresh fvwm, I get the same errors. I use fvwm2 but don't really know what could be wrong. Could you list the first 10 or 20 lines of errors? Also, is there a chance that you are using an old fvwm script with fvwm2? You can convert it with /usr/doc/fvwm2/utils/fvwmrc_convert Let me know if that helps.
