Sendmail. Look up 'masquerading' in the FAQ and on 'www.sendmail.org', it
should answer your question fairly thoroughly.

The righthand side of the MX record needs to be a resolvable hostname,
preferably one that is configured to accept mail for the domain listed on
the lefthand side of the MX record. These should be okay, as long as the
domains you want darkstar to accept mail for are listed in the appropriate
sendmail config files (/etc/mail/sendmail.cw, most likely).
Also, if you are not planning on receiving mail for a domain, like
'ns1.bigbrie.com', there's no need for it to have an MX record.

I have the same problem as Christian, a 3c509B ISA and a 3c900B PCI which work
properly alone, but with both together the 509 receives no packets. I have
no interrupt conflicts.
I'm using Redhat 5.2, so I expect I have the latest drivers. Is this true?
Please let me know any tips.
Thanks
Mark.

I installed a fresh copy of RedHat 5.2 (kernel 2.0.36) on a machine
with a 3c509 ethernet card. Everything works just fine--for a while.
Then the network interface disappears. /etc/rc.d/init.d/network status
says the interface is up, but it doesn't work. Rebooting the system
fixes the problem. The machine has a static IP address, BTW. Any hints
on how to solve the problem?

You would set this in whichever mail program you use (on pine, go to the
setup menu and manually put in the domain)

Edit /etc/sendmail.cw and put in the line
bigbrie.com
and restart sendmail.

Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 21:13:41 +0000
There is a simple and efficient way to this. Just install LILO on the
mbr of your 1st harddrive (I only have one 6.4 and this primary
slave/master stuff is irrelivent). Then just have one entry in your
lilo.conf for windows and one for your linux partition. If you ever
have anything that rewrites your mbr, just take your linux boot disk,
type ( for slackware) mount root=/dev/hd??, let it boot, login, and type
lilo to reinstall lilo in your mbr. Here's a copy of my lilo.conf which
you can modify to fit your drive/partitioning scheme:
----lilo.conf----
boot=/dev/hda
map=/boot/map
install=/boot/boot.b
prompt
timeout=50
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.2.1-1
label=linux
root=/dev/hda3
read-only
other=/dev/hda1
label=Win98
table=/dev/hda
----lilo.conf----
The first entry is the default so by just hitting enter at the lilo
prompt, linux will boot.
Hope this helps.

Except that the reason they hadn't updated was that they were still trying
to make sure that the update wasn't going to cause more problems than it
would solve. Anyone who has managed an Exchange server and done a few
updates probably understands why they were approaching it with such
caution.

Subject: VPN through masquerade
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 16:06:55 GMT
I have a bit of a problem that I'm hoping someone else has already fixed, or
had some experience with...
I'm using a VPN application to connect through our firewall at work from
home. I'm connecting to the internet via cable modem and my home network is
masqueraded via ipfwadm.
We have a Raptor firewall (Solaris) and using gateway authentication via
RaptorMobile for Win95.
I've used tcpdump to monitor the traffic from each port and the RaptorMobile
traffic never gets forwarded to the Internet port.
If I isolate the Win95 to the cable modem connection, I am able to connect
to the firewall. This indicates that the problem is in the masquerade setup
( or my local network setup).
Anyone have any experience with this?

Date: Mon, 15 Feb 1999 19:58:10 GMT
I'm have difficulty setting up my PPP dialup. I'm using a Ricochet wireless
modem (havent tried a regular modem yet, but Ive never had difficulty with it
before). Ive setup PPP with RH5.0 a few times already with the control panel
apps on the same machine-setup, so I dont beleive its the hardware.
With the new 5.2 installation, Ive tried control panel and linuxconf, and
neither work. I can create a file with "atdt 777**PPP" (that's the dial# for
the service) and pipe it to /dev/cua2, and I can hear it dial and connect, so
to some extent the serial port is working. But when I use control panel or
linuxcon to connect, it doesnt seem to do anything. With debug checked,
nothing is even showing up on /var/log/messages
I get the impression that the scripts just arent accessing the serial port or
even doing anything.
help...

Subject: FTP EBCDIC to ASCII Conversion
Date: 15 Feb 1999 11:46:59 PST
We receive data from clients via tape, currently, and the data is in EBCDIC
(Mainframe source). Our Tape program converts it to ASCII. We'd like to
have the client FTP the data to us, is there a way to have the receiving FTP
server convert the EBCDIC to ASCII? I recall the ftp utility on the MF at
my last job was able to send the EBCDIC as ASCII, unfortunately, we don't
have the option of forcing the client to deliver it in ASCII, we need to do
the translation - do any of the FTP Servers for Linux handle that? Even if
the FTP client sends a flag to tell the server to convert - I'd suspect that
the EBCDIC data would be unloaded from the MF in EBCDIC to a PC, where
someone would be responsible for sending it to us - thus they wouldn't be
able to use the conversion feature of the MF FTP utility.
Thanks

Um... I don't have a 'dmesg' file. I have a 'kmesg' file and I can't read
the thing because it's in binary or something. (dmesg is supposed to
be in /proc/ too, right?)
But I've been very observant during bootup. I get the pci driver loaded
correctly (gives me a url address as part of it).
ETH0 doesn't get recognized at all--no error or nuthin.
I'll try and pass it those parameters. When I tried to pass parameters
before I got some very ugly errors that seemed to say I was having
either an IRQ conflict or an address conflict.
Thanks for the suggestions. :-)

Gary;
I am not familiar with Squid. Does it use the CARP protocol or the ICP
protocol?
MS Proxy Server uses the CARP protocol for upstream / downstream caching and
is not compatible with caches that use the older ICP protocol.
