Subject: qmail is bounce happy
Date: Thu, 11 Feb 1999 22:12:49 GMT
I'm trying to set up qmail on a RH 5.2 installation and running into
an odd issue. Whenever I send mail to the box, it begins bouncing the
mail in a hurry. Not just to the sender, but to, for example,
[EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] to name a few. It's
almost as if it is bouncing mail to addresses created from parts of
the headers. Does that make sense? It kicks out 20 or 30 bounce
messages before I can get the server shut down. Has anyone else run
into this? Please respond via email, as I don't get to read this
group very often and I'm not subscribed to the mailing list (too much
volume :). Thanks!

Any of you run into the following problem :
In the process of upgrading from 2.0.35 to 2.2.1 (Red Hat release 5.1) you
install all the necessary update (net-tools, modutils, etc.)
then you try to put in ppp-2.3.5 :
configure -> works fine
make kernel -> works fine, all files are newer so it skips all
Therefore, I take it, the kernel needn't be rebuilt, even though it says so
in the README.linux, because none of its sources were replaced
make -> fails ... some parse errors in ppp_defs.h and if_ppp.h

Subject: Re: G2 realserver (rmserver)
Hm...
I'm running the G2 server on a P120 with an old WD8013, and I haven't
had a single problem with it so far. I've been running about 30-40
connections at a time for the past few months, without going down at
all.
It's connecting to a USR totalswitch at 10mbit, and then out to the net
over a leased T1.
Have you tried a different type of NIC?

Subject: Re: @Home with TCI cable modem?
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 07:00:08 GMT
I have RH 5.2 running w/o problems acting as a masquerade/firewall for a couple
of win95 machines.
You will absolutely need a Win based machine for the install. I used a separate
HD and had the installer set up everything. They didn't want to put their NIC
in as I already had one in the system. I protested (politely of course).
Anyway, I had to remove my NIC and he installed the 3C509B. I had to go to the
3Com site using Windows dialup to get the install disks so I could kill the PNP
for the card. After that I installed my 3C905 and got it all working under
Windows. Had it running under Linux shortly thereafter.
TCI in my area permanently assigns the IP even though they use dhcp. The only
other trick is to get to the maintenance web page you have to go to
http://www/. For this to work you have to be sure that the DNS server addresses
are set up correctly.
Hope this helps

If pppd doesn't establish a default route through the ppp interface
then not much will work. Somewhere you have a default route configured,
and pppd won't replace it even with the defaultroute option. You don't
need a default route for your LAN unless it is connected to another LAN,
a network route will work fine. The best thing to do is to take out
the default route for the LAN so that pppd can establish a default route
for the internet connection.

The best guess is that /etc/syslog.conf is setup to log too much to the
/var/log/debug file. A line beginning with *.* will cause a lot to be
written to the file specified. Here is the line for debug output here:
*.=debug /usr/log/debug
Another thing that *might* cause disk activity is for the modem and
the disk to be using the same IRQ.

Subject: Re: Data for NOT using MS-Exchange.
George--
We ran exchange 5.0 with the latest service pack on an NT4/SP3 machine
here for almost a year. Towards the end of that period, it was crashing
randomly at least once a week, and there were a number of cases of
messages simply disappearing (never being delivered). The hardware is
stable, since it's been used for other purposes with zero problems. The
hardware required to handle only 20 connections was a dual-P-133, 80M
ram, and a 4G SCSI drive. Compare this to cases where people serve 400+
POP3 clients off a P-100 with 32M ram and a couple IDE hard drives
running Linux -- you can see which solution scales, which should be
important to you.
Also keep in mind that any company running exchange with over 50
employees is normally forced to hire full-time exchange admin(s),
whereas Linux running a POP3 server requires next to no administration
(say, 1 day per month avg).
Another key weakness of NT is it's dependance on MS-everything. While we
were running exchange, I felt like I was dodging bullet after bullet
with regards to bugs and compatibility issues. A recent example: One of
our clients is running Outlook98 on WinNT. I setup a new workstation,
with NT4wks and the new SP4. After he spent 5+ hours on the phone with
MS tech $upport, they finally divulged that outlook98 (the most recent
version of outlook) has issues and doesn't work properly with Service
Pack 4 (the most recent version of NT). It seems like this should have
been tested before either product was released, but as the saying goes:
Microsoft isn't a software company, they're a marketing company.
Let me know if you need more details to help you in your fight ;)

By itself, IP Masq doesn't support Netmeeting. But there is a commercial
software called PHONEPATCH which can take care of the H.323 protocol. I
have it in my IP Masq box and the client machine can run Netmeeting
through it without any problem, video and audio can get through on both
direction. It's just $50.

Subject: FTP server behind ipfwadm machine.
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 08:44:28 +0000
Is there a relatively easy way to allow packets through to a machine on
a LAN that's behind an ipfwadm'd linux machine?
Scenario: RH5.2 Linux with ipfwadm enabled, ip 192.62.100.1, and a
client machine with IP 192.62.100.2, running an FTP server on port 212.
I'm wondering how to get packets to the serving machine, through the
firewall.
I've read a whole bunch of FAQ's and can't make heads or tails of much
of the stuff... I realize that I can redirect incoming TCP packets of
specific type from specified domains to a redirected port, but don't
know how to direct them to a specific IP _and_ port.
Any help would be appreciated!

Subject: 3C509B and Red Hat 5.2 Problem Solved!!
Date: 11 Feb 1999 23:23:59 GMT
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Yes, I know, but considering that my first post was ignored (and I provided
more detail than this post), I was staring to wonder if the opinion of Linux
users helping Linux users was more rumor than fact. :)
After searching through OVER 30 web sites and more than 500 usenet posts, I
found a web site that had a section that targets 3Com Ethernet cards.
It turns out that the IRQ was conflicting with my sound card which I did not
test yet.
This may sound like a "well, that's one of the first things that you check,
you moron!!" scenario. But coming from a Windows environment where an
interrupt results in a total failure of the device, and a Solaris enviromnet
where there are no interrupts to worry about, I was not accustomed to partial
failure of a device. It either worked or it didn't. That's what threw me off.
So, to anyone who is having problems with the 3Com Etherlink III (3C509B):
1. Get the DOS installation disk or at least 3C5X9CFG.EXE onto a bootable
disk
2. Disable the Plug-and-Pray function
3. CONFIRM that the default IRQ (10) will not conflict with other
devices. (Mine finally detected the problem and went to IRQ 11.)
The results of a bad IRQ will be that packets will go out from the Linux box
but will not be accepted by it, which will give the false impression that the
card is actually working fine.
Now, who do I get it to go to XWindows automatically?
AAAUGH! I'm kidding! I already have it set to ... hey, put that down!
Now, knock that off! I was kid ---
HEY!!

Hello,
Your configuration should be fine. Did you check the connectivity between
your G3 and the IP Masq box? By using some network tools like ping... Or
the other way round. Can you ping your G3 from the IP Masq box?
Actually the IPMasq site talks about the Mac configuration already. I have

Almost the same setup as you have. Slackware 3.5 kernel 2.0.33. Diald
0.16 works fine.
Did you compile in the SLIP option in the kernel. Diald uses a slip

configuration. I have a noisy phone line, and my pppd connection under
linux frequently disconnects, especially when I'm trying to download
large files. When I connect using PPP under Win98, I get a much more
robust connection. I am getting very frustrated with the disconnects and
I'm looking for any pointers on how to make my pppd connection more
robust.
The command I've been using is:
/usr/sbin/pppd connect \'/usr/sbin/chat -v -f connect_script defaultroute 115200
crtscts user username debug /dev/modem
When I disabled hardware flow control (i.e., changed "crtscts" to
"nocrtscts") it seemed to get better, but I still can't ftp large files
consistently with this connection.
I'm looking for ways to make this connection more robust. Is there a way
to configure pppd in exactly the same way as in Win98? I've been able to
download large files much more reliably with my winsock PPP connection.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Chris

Hello,
I just installed SuSE 5.3 on my PC, after giving up on getting ppp to work
with openlinux. So, I typed in all the info into YaST, and now the modem
dials and then does its screechy thing... then disconnects. Any advice on how
to get it to connect and stay connected would be very much appreciated, and
once again thanks to everyone who helped already. Below is the sys log output
of my attempt to connect to ISP:

Aaron,
There is something similar available for linux, called PHP. A
convertion package (still in beta) is available that converts ASP to
PHP, and is called ASP2PHP. You'll need to patch PHP into your Apache
server (if it's not in already)
Here is the URL to the ASP2PHP homepage:
http://www.inlink.com/~naken/asp2php/
Good luck
Christoff

Is it possible to run microsoft's active server page technology on a
linux
box using apache..or do we still
have to use good old NT for that?
Thanks,
