First off, good luck configuring sendmail. I've given up and switched
to qmail (http://www.qmail.org/), although in all honesty qmail can be a
pain to configure, too.
I can't really help you solve your problem, but I can offer some related
information about SMTP relays.

> What does "we do not relay" from a mail recipient mean?
It means that you are trying to get a remote SMTP daemon to send mail
for you. Recent versions of sendmail disallow this because of the
potential for abuse. In the old days, you could call up a sendmail
daemon, give it your address, the address you wanted to deliver a
message to, and the message, and the sendmail daemon would send it for
you. That worked great until spammers started bogging down other
people's mail servers to send unwanted messages.
Here's something to try from a shell to see if an SMTP daemon allows
relaying:
$ telnet hostname 25
Trying x.x.x.x...
Connected to hostname.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 hostname SMTP/smap Ready.
HELO
250 Charmed, Im sure.

This hypothetical session shows that the SMTP daemon is configured to
disallow relaying from address1.com to address2.com, but allows relaying
from address1.com to address3.com. You probably do not want to allow
relaying in general.

Sorry I can't tell you exactly what you need to change, but I think you
need to set up your mail client program to use the sendmail locally
instead of the sendmail through the inet socket tcp SMTP port.
I ran into a similar problem trying to allow Netscape users to send
mail. I ended up having to run a daemon listening to localhost port 25,
rather than having Netscape invoke the process directly. Most other
UNIX mail clients can be configured so you don't have to have a daemon
listening on localhost port 25 to send mail out.
qmail uses a rcpthosts file to control which hosts can be relayed
through the SMTP port. That poses a problem when you're using it to
send local mail out: you want local users to be able to e-mail
anywhere. I used tcp wrappers to limit access to the SMTP port and
removed the rcpthosts. That way, local users can use the SMTP daemon as
a relay hosts, but remote users can't reach the SMTP server. (Mail for
local users is delivered via another host, which is configured to allow
remote users. Otherwise, I would not get inbound e-mail.)
Again, good luck!

You can get a two-port switch from Netgear or Linksys for under $100US, that
will work fine. You'll need a 100baseTX hub on the fast side and a 10baseT
hub on the slow side, as well.
10/100 ISA cards do exist, but quite frankly unless you find them used or at
auction, it will probably be cheaper to put in a PCI motherboard.
Don't really know what's fastest and most stable for Linux--Intel works well
for Novell and NT.

Date: Thu, 04 Feb 1999 00:17:30 -0500
I have Linux (SUSE 5.3) installed on 2 machines (which also has Win 98
installed) and linked via a hub. The two machine can communicate if
both boot as Win 98. If one of the machines is boot as Linux, they can
ping each other (and 'arp -a' will show that the H/W address are
correctly received). However, if both macines are boot as linux, they
cannot ping each other (not reachable), and 'arp -a' will show that the
H/W address of the remote machine is al zeros. Both macine can only
ping themselves. I have checked with ifconfig, route, netstat etc.
(also try setting the H/W address manually using arp), and cannot figure
out what else to try to made the two machine see each other in Linux.
Would appreciate if any body can help or suggest some thing to try.
Thanks in advance.

Subject: Re: how to configure cgi with Apache
Date: Sun, 07 Feb 1999 05:22:11 GMT
This ought to do it. Make sure your cgi's are world readable and
executable if they are interpretted scripts written in a language such
as PERL. If they are just compiled binaries such as C then make them
world executable. This of course assumes you run your web server as
nobody. You can run it as another user. I would stick with "nobody"
until you know what you are doing. You sound somewhat novice. Here are
the modifications you need to make. I use Slackware 3.6 too.
Edit the file:
/var/lib/apache/etc/srm.conf
Uncomment the line:
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/lib/apache/share/cgi-bin/"
Cgi scripts go in the directory:
/var/lib/apache/share/cgi-bin/
Http docs go in:
/var/lib/apache/share/htdocs
Stop and then start your httpd server.
/var/lib/apache/sbin/apachectl stop
/var/lib/apache/sbin/apachectl start

Hmm, you can do that too. Uncomment the line which allows pages and

Not good. You definitely want to take perl out of the directory where
your cgi's are executed. People could damage your system. You should
have it in /usr/local/bin or /usr/bin and sheh bang (#!) your scripts.
Use the -Tw for extra security.
That is
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -Tw

Try checking your web page with Lynx first. Dump the M$ explorer. If
you really want to check your pages on M$ Explorer use a windoze
machine. People who want to run windoze programs should first run them
on windoze machines. I am sure they work best there. Set up a private
internal IP network using addresses such as
192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2
Your netmask is 255.255.255.0
If you need to connect to the net and you want your machine with a
private ip to see the net, use IP forwarding. (See IP-Masquerading
HOWTO)

Good choice.

A question from a newbie,
My experience lies with Windows, but I want to move away from that area.
The current set up that I have in my office is as follows;
3 WindowsNT Servers
1 WindowsNT Workstation
1 Apple iMac
2 of the NT Servers handles multiple IP addresses.
All the machines are connected to an 8 Port Hub, also connected to the Hub
is a Web Router that is connected to 56K Frame Relay.
My problem is that I just installed RedHat 5.2 (From the RedHat Unleashed
Book). The installation was successful (or so I thought).
Everything seemed to be working correctly except the Network.
During the Install I selected the 3c509 (My NIC is the 509B -- but the 3COM
Manual specifies the same settings)
Then I specified the static IP address (207.207.203.196)
I changed the Netmask (assuming that this was the subnet mask) to
255.255.255.224
The IP address for the Web Router is 207.207.203.193 (I cannot ping this
from any machine).
The Gateway address supplied by my downstream provider is 207.207.194.88
(I'm not sure where this should get entered during the install)
The DNS Server Addresses (DNS Service is provided by my downstream provider)
are
207.207.223.2 and 207.207.208.10 (After I can see the local LAN -- how to I
configure the Linux Box to find the DNS Servers since they are on completely
different subnets)2
Supplying the information above, worked correctly on the NT Servers -- to
get the iMac to connect to the internet, I had to change the subnet mask to
255.255.0.0.
At this point, from the Linux box, I can't ping anything (Local Lan or
Outside World) and from the other machines, I can't ping the Linux Box.
After spending the past two days trying to reconfigure the settings using
netconf -- I'm bleary eyed and ready to quit.
The Unleashed Book, is of no help -- I ordered the installation manual from
Red Hat (Hopefully that will help to clear some things up). But I'm totally
lost at what I need to do to get the network up and running.
For what it's worth, The port on the hub is lit -- which tells me that the
machine is connected -- it's something I didn't do or screwed up in the
configuration
Any help greatly appreciated
TIA
Jay

Wouldn't a auto sensing hub work just as well? Linksys makes one that is not
