Subject: Need Help with Sendmail - Cannot open new temporary File
Date: Tue, 5 Dec 2000 09:12:57 -0500
My Linux (Slackware 2.0.38) mail server has been partial down all day.
First of all, users keep having trouble logging in from Outlook Express.
They were rejected for putting in "incorrect password". But I have reset
the password many many times. They can even log in from Telnet sessions.
I then deleted the user account and the mail file from the "/var/spool/mail"
directory and recreated the account. Now this user get a different error
message which said something about failing to open "new temporary file" and
was asked "do you own it?". Since it is just a message that Outlook Express
reported, I cannot put in any response.
Does anyone has any clue what is going on? I am desperate for help. Thanks
in advance.

I have linux on /dev/hda, and windows on /dev/hdd. I can boot
linux just fine with lilo, but when I try to boot windows, I get this:
boot: windows
Loading kernel 01boot:
and asks for another boot label until it gets linux.
My lilo.conf file is fine for linux but here is the windows stanza:
other=/dev/hdd1
label=windows
table=/dev/hdd
This does not work. Do I need a chain loader? Which one?

hmm, there is advice in README.multisession and CD-Wrining HOWTO. This
advice told me that i can mount inage of my SECOND session, and check it.
After all , even if you have right, my image recorded to disk,
doesnt work, so i think, that mkisofs makes no good work.

Just leave the account deleted; nothing further could go wrong that way.
(Whaddya mean that's too nice of me? Well if you really must, recreate it,
have a look at the other files in /var/spool/mail, play
spot-the-permissions and double-check disk-space while you're at it.)

I'm not certain what you mean by "logging in" from Outlook Express,
since I have never used it and don't have the slightest idea what it
is. However, sendmail mailbox files should be created with permissions
for example, user named tony, groupe mail:
-rw-rw--- tony mail 0 5 Dec 08:35 tony
(This is for an empty mailbox. You can create it with "touch.")
The /var/spool/mail directory should have permissions like:
drwxrwsr-x root mail 1024 Dec 5 08:35 mail
The SetGID bit in the permissions is the important part.
Good luck!

Yes I have already red all that HOWTO's but deamons and other programs are not the
problem, the kernel is. As I said before there is a precompiled 2.0 kernel that makes
the system run ok in the 386, but my custom-compiled 2.2 kernels don't run ok. The
problem resides in something Im doing wrong when compiling the 2.2 kernel that doesnt
make it small enough for a 4Mb system, and that I must find out.

Assuming rlogin is enabled on both machines and

Subject: Re: Can't ftp to Linux box from windows ftp client - SOLVED
Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2000 15:29:03 GMT
Okay, I've got it figured out most of the way. I went into my
ftpaccess file on my linux box and added the following commands:
passive address <my wan ip address> 0.0.0.0/0 (all hosts)
This had the effect of returning my wan (legal) address to the
initiating client and setting up the session properly when I do passive
transfers. It works great, if I am coming in directly from the
internet. But it won't work from within my company. I can telnet to a
public host on the internet and ftp to my machine all day long now.
But I can't make it through my company's firewall and through mine and
back. But yet, from within my company I can ftp to a public host on
the internet. so I can get from the public net to my box and from my
corporate pc to the public net, but not ftp from my corporate pc to my
private net. I have tried to go non-passive, but my machine returns
its internal ip address again (since there's no setting I'm aware of to
put in ftpaccess for non-passive address). Does anyone have
suggestions? Could my corporate firewall be blocking something?
Thanks,
Ryan

This problem seems to be going round in circles at present - I think we need
more information to get things moving!
Please post the section of your dmesg or /var/log/messages file from the last
startup so we can see what the machine thinks is happening on the nic front
and we'll have another go.

Dangit, would have bet there was no linefeed on the end of greentea.
Ok, Fully qualify the node names. If that does not work,
replace node.domain.com with the ip address of the node.
If one of these do not fix the problem, I am out of suggestions.

Subject: Kernel panic: Free list corrupted
Date: Tue, 05 Dec 2000 17:20:40 GMT
My linux box used to crash maybe 60 days apart with some kernel panic
related to the networking card. That was when I ran Red Hat 6.0 and 6.1.
The machine is an old P133 with IDE disks.
I upgraded it to Red Hat 7.0, changed two SIMMs from 8M to 16M and installed
an additional ethernet card as I switched from 56K modem to cablemodem.
Now I get crashes once a week or even more often. It is always the same:
Kernel panic: Free list corrupted
I see the trace contains calls to functions whose names include e2fs and
inode, so I guess this is related to the filesystem or disk access in
general. I think the last function (the one listed first) was something
like fill_free_list().
Have anyone else had this problem, or know what causes it?
At first I thought the new memory was bad, but in that case I think I would
be seeing a lot of other problems, not only this "free list" thing. fsck
doesn't find any problems with the filesystems.

The problem is that the Bibtex `database' really is just a text file.
However, searching on Freshmeat for `bibtex' produces several
management programs, some of which appear to translate the bibtex file
into a real database. There appears to be a commercial program called
`qbib' which may fit your requirements

When the RH7 screen shows up, hit 'ctrl-X' and then hit 'tab' to pause lilo.
Then type 'linux single root=/dev/<your real root dev>'
That *should* get you into your root device where you can then change your
fstab
and/or your lilo configuration (which is most likely the problem) to the
correct root dev.
