Subject: PCMCIA Network card
I have everything up and running on my Dell lattitude CPi except
networking. It came with a 3Com LAN CardBus PC Card. This apparently has
a 3c575 in it. I have gotten the card manager to recognize this, but
then the kernel bags later in the boot. Here is the sequence in the
messages file:

I take it that this means that it's non-supported status is due to the
fact that proprietary software is required rather than it's being an
intrinsically crummy device which freeloads off the CPU?

Subject: [Q]Sendmail 8.91 and relaying
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 1999 14:11:06 -0600
I have sendmail working ok, except for one annoying problem.
Relaying to outside domains fails.
Sending to outside domains from an internal address works fine,
But relaying fails.
I want to allow any address from some of our subnets to relay through
the server to any outside domain. I set up sendmail with the access
database and specified our subnets as Relay allowable, but
any message to an outside domain fails on the check_rcpt rule.
(So it's not the subnet address failing, it is the recipiant that
is causing it to fail.)
I don't want to list every domain as relayable, since that would
defeat the purpose of access restriction.
Here is a log entry:
Jan 20 13:05:54 cypress sendmail[30061]: NAA30061: ruleset=check_rcpt,
arg1=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, relay=stingray.cso.niu.edu
[131.156.1.104], reject=550 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Relaying denied
If I make sendmail run in promiscous relay mode, everything works
fine (makes sense).
So how do I allow only specified subnets to send to any outside domain
without listing every domain as relayable?
Hope this question isn't too confusing.
TIA,
Brian

Hi;
You need to do the following:
1) In "/etc/securetty" you need to add the possible terminals that are
considered secure for root access to be granted. For example, you probably
need to add ttyp0, ttyp1, ttyp2 and etc...
If you have multiple telnet sessions where anyone of them could be root,
then add say ttyp0 to ttyp3.

Actually this is more like a pull at a Vegas slot machine.
If you're lucky it will come up all bars, if not all lemons.
This is the nature of the PC, Windows doesn't change this.
These things that do are as exploitable by Linux or any other
PC OS equally well. That's why it takes less pain to install
either as time drags on.

All these are reverse host name lookups - the programs are finding host
names for given addresses.
There are basically two ways to solve this: (1) make the addresses known
locally, or (2) make the programs not require the address lookups.
(1) Put the addresses that are being looked up in /etc/hosts. Put
"order hosts, bind" in /etc/host.conf, and put "hosts: files dns"
in /etc/nsswitch.conf. The library routines that do the lookup
will now find the address in /etc/hosts first and do not require
network traffic.
(2) route -n
netstat -n [-r]
For X, you need option (1). It has to do with xauth/xdm looking up your
hostname, because it needs an address to store in ~/.Xauthority. Man
xauth.

That's why opening a whole bunch of files at once

I do it all the time in Unix. I did it all the time
in other OSes long before Windows crawled its way
into existence.
Although, a simple single/doubleclick/context menu
would be rather more appropriate. It requires less
information and manipulation to accomplish. This
kind of thoughtly usability is why Windows is such
a mess.

There are already such facilities for anyone who bothers
to bother. However, you don't want to do a damn thing,
not even the simple things. You have all the sincerity

In the file /etc/inittab, you need to insert a line to have
a getty on that modem. Something like this should do:
7:2345:respawn:/sbin/mgetty -s 115200 /dev/ttyS1
This assumes that you will be running 6 other virtual terminals
and the modem is on COM 2.
After you edit it, you should either reboot or type
kill -HUP 1
to restart the gettys.
I hope that helps

Darricke,
Norm is describing the same problem I had with a 3Com 905B card. Check
your DMESG to see if you have a reasonable Ethernet hardware address from
your card (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is not reasonable). If not, then you need to
cycle power before rebooting under Linux. You may even have to pull the
plug from the outlet (no joke). This info comes from Donald Becker.
If you are getting a reasonable Ethernet hardware address, then try this.
We use DSL from US West and some folks had a problem with the dhcp client
timing out before US West returned an IP address. If you think this is a
possibility, then boot under Windoze, time how long your system `hangs'
before it gets an IP address, and then check that time when you boot up
under Linux. If the `no dchp offer' error messages appears in less time,
then your script may be timing out before you get an IP address back from
Bellsouth.

Darricke,
<p>Norm is describing the same problem I had with a 3Com 905B card.
Check your DMESG to see if you have a reasonable Ethernet hardware address
from your card (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff is not reasonable). If not, then you
need to cycle power before rebooting under Linux. You may even have
to pull the plug from the outlet (no joke). This info
comes from Donald Becker.

Is there an RPM for the APACHE web server?
And can it be run on a machine that is within my network a couple of layers?
All machines on the network are fully qualified DN's.
Running RedHat 5.1
Thank you.
