Subject: Can't check mail
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 1999 19:56:17 -0600
Since I had a power outage and had to restart my Linux system I can't check
my e-mail from another system on the network. I am using Popper and get an
error that my other system can't connect to the server. I get no log
entries. I am fairly new to Linux so any help troubleshooting this would be
appreciated.
P.S. I don't know if it is related but I also can't connect to SWAT to
manage my Samba server. I can, however, connect to the web server on that
computer.
Thanks,
Steve

Sure you can. You don't need an IP address other than loopback (127.0.0.1)
and you can use this to learn about Apache, HTML, CGI etc.
Your /etc/hosts file should have the usual "127.0.0.1 localhost" entry,
and your main Apache config file httpd.conf should include the line:
ServerName localhost
Now apache will listen on the loopback connection only, and you can
connect to it with http://localhost/etc URLs.

It works now :-) Thanks for the help. I think the problem was that my
ethernet card was set to use address 0x240, and Linux seems to like it to
use 0x300.

Some distributions are still libc5 based instead of what all the new
programs need to install, glibc2 (compile-time incl.). Caldera 1.3 is one
such dist. I don't know about your SuSE. If you have glibc2, you can install
dhcpcd (DHCP client daemon) to do the job. See www.linuxapps.com to find the
download page. If your Linux is not glibc2 based, you'll prob. have to
upgrade, unless your cable modem ISP will let you use static IP. Good luck.

Had the same thing happen to me, when I used sndconfig I always lost my
ethernet card. I just rebooted and that fixed it. But I also got the
following updates which kept it from happening again.
awesfx-0.4.2-1.i386.rpm

This clearly demonstrates that the ISP is too lazy to want to support
anything but Windows, so it rids itself entirely of the problem.
The OS has nothing to do with crashing anything remotely. Network
packets are network packets. That's the entire point of networking.

The ~ and other garbage is a sign that ppp negotiation is beginning. But
if the remote user does not hit the 'Continue' button, nothing is going to

And what options are you using? Does your ppp server assign IP addresses
and are those listed in /etc/hosts?

We're trying to use IP chains with our new 2.2.1 kernel. Our big
problem at the moment is that we're unable to figure out from man pages,
HOWTO docs, news postings, etc. how to for the SMTP port on the external
(Internet) port to our internal (LAN) port.
All outbound ipchains work fine (except ftp-data, we're still wrestling
with this too). Does anyone know for SURE if ipchains can do this? We
seen some stuff on ipportfw and ipmasqadm, but these seem like they're
only good for ipfwadm.

I have installed my Diamond Supra 33.6 modem under Linux with the
IsaPnPtools. It works when I send commands like:
# echo 'atdt111/n' > /dev/modem
but it doesn't seem to work under minicom. You are unable to write.
In seyon there's no output in the terminal window but at least the modem
responds to the commands.

You can use cu, ckermit or chat, depends on what you want

"chat" works fine for scripting if you're meaning to invoke it via
pppd. Both of which can be invoked on a command line or better yet
with a shell script for quality control.

RedHat has a linuxconf tool that can set up multiple system profiles and
can switch between them without having to reboot. Since you don't say
what system you are running, you may already have this and not know it.

Hi all,
Having trouble with email via an ISP. Sending is fine, recieving is
trickier.
Running fetchmail, I can recieve fine by passing to procmail (via mda
directive) but due to local setup this isn't ideal, I'd prefer to
recieve direct on port 25 and then go to smail. When running fetchmail
without procmail, I get :
fetchmail: xx messages for oronis at mail.globalnet.co.uk
reading message 1 of xx (xxxx bytes) .fetchmail: SMTP connect to
ElCapitan failed
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from
mail.globalnet.co.uk
Smail is invoked under inetd rather than as daemon, so this looks to me
like fetchmail cant kick inetd into action, but why ? Line from
inetd.conf is :
smtp stream tcp nowait root
/usr/sbin/in.smtpd /usr/sbin/in.smtpd
Any ideas ? Distribution is debian, if that helps.

I am curious, what crystal ball told you that there was no hardware
conflict ?
It doesn't take a Rocket Scientist to figure out that this is exactly
what the problem most likely is. The network card is most likely plug
and pray
and in your case :) the prayer is not answered. You will need to force
the NIC to some other IRQ (10,11..etc) So that IRQ 5 is available for
the Sound Card. There should be a program of some kind that you can use
to disable plug and pray on the NIC and force it to Where *you* want it
to be. Then the lilo append line should be edited appropriately.
Linux requires that you know your hardware.....

Bill

Probably because you are asking the Windows 'machine' (hostname of
205.133.98.30) to authenticate itself instead of the remote user. Try
removing the +pap. Also unless you are using IP's that you got from
your ISP, you should use IP's in the private range. Your nameservers do
not resolve.

...
ifconfig eth0 down
ifconfig eth0 195.211.21.1
route add -net 195.211.21.0
... and there you are.
reboot and all that. You main problem will be the /etc/hosts since your
address changes, although if you can live with a different host name
add one.
This is not distribution specific, no Unix system needs to be rebooted
for stuff like that.

Okay, now here is the relevant portion of /var/log/messages that I get when
running "ndc start":

Starting nslookup is okay, but when I try to query a domain name, it doesn't
work. What am I doing wrong? (BTW - I have a Win95B and a Win98 machine
hooked up via Ethernet, and I want to configure both to use the Linux box as
the DNS server.)
Thanks in advance for any assistance anyone can provide.
