thanks for the help. I did install the RPM for imap. i will issue the
command you wrote. However, is there any other docs ( or a good book, i
have the sendmail book from Oreilly) that explain adding users, logging in
and getting mail, etc. for example, does each user need an account on the
linux machine? Just other basic questions like that.
Thanks again, jim

The problem is sometimes due to not having your ISP nameserver
specified in /etc/resolv.conf. See PPP-HOWTO and grep
resolv.conf.
Leave the default route open so PPP0 can use it. You did not
mention
what your are running RH/Slack... etc or whats in hosts or
networks.
DNS resolution can have an order - its usually something like
hosts,
lmhosts and DNS - wins will be in there if your running MS
machines.
In RH you can specify this order.

Yogish,
Hostanme returns the name of your machine. That is its name
portion
of its full name. The rest of can be gotten from /etc/networks.
For
example if hosts returns linux and networks has toaster.com
192.168.1.
then the full name of your machine would be linux.toaster.com.
Its
ip would be 192.168.1.(watever single number was assigned). This
is
a class C network so it would be a number from 1-253.
192.168.1.55 for
example and only your machine linux would have that number.
A good item to read is NET-3-HOWTO.

I think they did, but I'm not sure. But how would that apply here?
What we're talking about is older versions of mail programs running on
servers being used for other purposes. They're not likely to have
even been configured for anything other than straightforward mail
service, much less relaying through another machine in the network.

You will like RH 5.2 very much. If your an MS person then
there
will be a few minor hurdles which are easily solved by reference
to the
HOWTO documentation. RH has a very good install script and if
you
select the right packages for your needs they will be install
with the
options that you will probbly use so han setup is minimal. I
have setup
what you are thinking about with an added subnet behind an NT
router off
the linux internet and file server. Works fine. Since I'm
attached to
a 56k ISP I can't speak to spead but uses with ISDN connections
claim
speeds are fine.
The worse install problem is getting you partitions correct.
I have
problems with disk druid which is a gui interface to disk
parting. Fdisk
can be used and for me is more reliable. I have problems
everytime with
disk druid - it may be that I am making the same mistake each
time. Other
than that your in for a nice time with the linux box.
I was a previous user of Slackware but it was long enough ago
that
any comments on it are not too relivant. OS wise it was great -
setup
wise it was harder than the RH 5.2 but I understand that all the
Linux
versions have gui install packages the cured the problems people
used
to have when installing linux.

Subject: Re: Romote "root" login
Date: Sat, 23 Jan 1999 02:34:17 GMT
since telnet packets are sent over the network in clear text, passwords
can be "sniffed", ie, people connected to the network could steal your
password. for a root account, this is especially a bad idea, therefore,
most distributions disable root's ability to telnet in by default. if
you REALLY WANT TO, and feel that there is virtually no security risk,
you could open up the file /etc/securetty and edit it. it's a list of
all the ttys that the system will let root in on... in your case, you'd
probably add ttyp0 through ttyp3 or something like that... this is,
however, a very bad idea if you are the least bit interested in
security. if i were you, i'd install ssh... for the most part, it's like
telnet, but the packets are encrypted on either end with a
public/private key scheme, before they are sent across the network...
ssh can let root in even if you aren't letting root telnet in.
this should get you started: http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=ssh

Hi Brian,

This does mean that there is no process listening on the port the
connection request was sent to or the queue of connection requests
waiting for an answer is full. Second case is caused by a bogus program
or your machine not keeping up with handling the requests.
As you wrote the only way you found to get it working again I assume
once you got a connection refused it will refuse all future sessions.
This might happend if the inetd or ftp daemon does stall or does get
killed (can be happen by system on errors).
Refusing a connection could be simulated by a firewall but this is not
very usual not would it be fixed by rebooting your machine.
Are there any message from pppd in the logs? The logs usally are located
in /var/log/.
You could always try to get the latest version of the ftp-daemon you are
using and install it. But take care - sometimes the syntax and semantics
of the configuration files or even there names do change beetween
releases.

The difference to using packet-filtering is that you can not log the
unsuccesfull trials to fake a IP.

Except that, if the "real" mail server does ORBS tests and blocks open
relays (even if they're in local netblocks), then when [1] the spammers
abuse the open relay, it will [2] be reported, and the smarthost
will appear to be even smarter as it begins blocking the abuse.
Regardless, if you're detected smarthosting an open relay, you're
given a grace period to go nail'em.

Not applicable here - it would require the open relay to be setup to
use a smarthost. If someone was configuring it that much, they'd turn
it off.
(I doubt it's been changed - it would break the ORBS idiom)

It does, really. How do you run sendmail ? Is there anything in the
mail queue directory ? Try telnet localhost 25 ... does sendmail say
HELO to you ? Yes, and which C library version since I've had a problem
with smail due to the changed signal semantics (libc5 -> libc6) if in
daemon mode.
