Hi,
Can somebody tell me how I and where I should configure sendmail so that
he delivers my mail directly to my RH 5.2 system. Currently I get all
my mail back (send from an other account) with the reply that the 'mail
is not delivered because the user does not exist'. But the user DOES
exist. Where do I configure sendmail and how? Or please point me to a
correct URL (HOWTO).
Greeting,

I'm running a BUNCH of Allied Telesyn AT-2000 ISA cards. They are
cheap and recognized under Linux with the generic NE2000 driver.
I purchased these cards (in Canada) via INMAC for about $25 each. You
have to use the supplied DOS utility diag.exe to set them for non-PNP
operation and set the hardware ... I use IRQ 2/9 with IO 0x0280.
Linux recognized the card on a probe without an append in lilo.conf.
At work I use 4 in one PC (with the lilo.conf append parameter) and
they work just great.
INMAC sells the ADDTRON cards as well its just that these others were
on sale when I was looking.
Good luck!

To my understanding there is no driver for network cards which is both
PCI and TokenRing.
But I'm not sure for that. It's been my only reason for not running
Linux on my office-machine, as it has an IBM card like the one described
:-(

You are misunderstanding the potential of the human brain, and the
co-processor.
Firstly, the co-processor does not need to run at the same bus speed as
the brain. It simply needs parameters to be set, an execution to be
actibated, and the result ourld be returned in another register. It is
not necessary for the co-procesor to run at the same speed as the brain.
Further, you underestimate the power of multi-threaded / multi-processor
systems. Remeber, the human brain is potentially the most complex, yet
effective multiprocessor.
As an example, it is a fact that you blink about 16 times a minute. Each
blink is approximately 0.25 of a second. This gives a total of 4 seconds
a minute where your eyes are closed, and thus the optic nerve is unused.
If this bandwidth could be harnessed, and the optical processing unit of
the brain then there would be more than enough available bandwith,
storage, and processing power to cope with the co-processor.
Think of the military abilities it would give to a soldier. An internal
HUD, strategic planning, manipulation, and controlling of weapons.
Identification of "friendlies". Perhaps even enhanced visualisation of
enemies, or thermal imaging, perhaps even x-ray vision. All through the
use of a coupled co-processor.
What about linguists. Learning made easy! Think your mother tongue,
speak a foreign tongue ... ;-)
The possibilities are endless.
Never mind the potential of having a PII embedded in your brain when on
a trip to the arctic ... when it gets cold, simply imagine erotic
images, the co-processor will go into overdrive, and the heat generated
will warm you ... ;-)

P.S. it surprises me that this thread is suddenly rejuvenated.

Subject: Why ypbind?
Date: 30 Dec 1998 08:14:45 -0700
First, let me state that I don't believe in using distributions. My linux
systems were developed from a minimalist Slackware system dating from the
time of kernel v1.0.9 and everything except for X I have built and
installed myself. This has, to say the least, led to some interesting
problems, but I've learned a hell of a lot over the years.
So, on to the problem.
I have recently started upgrading from libc5 to libc6 and am slowly
discoverying the occasional problem with NIS.
>From researching dejanews, it seems that libc5 was NYS based, which handled
the NIS calls directly, not requiring ypbind.
However, glibc doesn't follow this method and instead requires going
through ypbind. (My problems exist because I don't start ypbind at boot,
so as I rebuild apps, I'm starting to see this problem).
Ok, I understand that I have to get the latest yp tools and go from there.
But what I would like to know is: Why?
Was NYS just an experimental design that will no longer be followed?
Will perhaps the NYS method eventually be migrated into glibc and allowed
to work on other OS's as well? (I imagine the initial goal for glibc was
support of other OS's more than interesting gimics under Linux).
I seem to remember reading that some seemed to think that NYS method was
safer than using ypbind; that using ypbind, at least if in broadcast most,
was more prone to being spoofed. Or am I mis-remembering?
I didn't see any references on dejanews to discussions on this topic.
Perhaps I missed some keywords. Or there were discussions on mailling
lists that I'm unaware of. Any pointers?
Thanks for any input.

Subject: FTP Server Accounts

Hi
Is there a way, using the FTPD that came with RedHat 5.2, that I can
make special accounts for my FTP Server that corrisponds to a particular
directory on the system?
For example:-
UserName : ftpuser1
Directory : /home/ftp/ftpuser1/
Then everything in that directory is writeable to the user and the user
sees that directory as a root directory.
Then another user eg. ftpuser2 gets a different directory.
I tried reading the man files for ftpaccess, but understood nothing.
Thanks
Daniel

Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, yh ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
had the courage to say:
: Does anybody know if I can use a network card with Davicom DM9101F chip
: under Linux? Any related information is appreciated. Thanks.
This chip is not an ethernet media access controller (MAC); it's just
a transceiver chip that attaches to the main controller.
You have made the mistake of assuming that you know which is the right
chip to ask about. Don't do that. Specify the markings on _all_ the
chips on the board and the vendor and model name/number of the card.
If you don't do that, nobody will ever know exactly what card you have:
there are several boards on the market that use the Davicom PHY chip.

I think that the modem is actually more like a bridge than a router.
A friend of mine has the service, and is using USWest.net as his ISP,
which uses DHCP to assign IP addresses. He just plugged the DSL modem
into his hub, and each one of the machines on his network was assigned
an IP address by USWest. I don't know if US West has caught on to what
he's doing, though. :-)

You have to configure the postgresql side to allow access
(in it's pg_hba.conf file) and install the postgresql odbc
driver on the PC side with the right connect info. There
may be some problems with different data types but basically
it just works once you have established the connection.
