Who's not complaining? I write my congresscritters regularly. If it were up

Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 16:03:38 +0530
Hello,
I have a Linux server (DLD 5.4 kernel 2.0.33) which is on a LAN. This is
part of a bigger intranet. Now I would like to configure my system as a
mail server so that I can send/receive mails from the outside world
(outside intranet).
I sent a mail using elm and this is what I got.
=======================================================================
Returned mail: Data format error:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Sender domain must exist
501 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... Data format error
=======================================================================
At this point, I can give you a hint. If, from any dos/windows based
system (within the intranet), I use ftp or telnet to
[EMAIL PROTECTED], I can successfully do the job.
Please let me know the step-by-step procedure to configure my
mailserver. My resources include sendmail, elm and kmail (of kde). Also
tell me know what are the changes to be done to sendmail, etc so that I
can send/receive mails without doing anything in the domain server.
Thanks in anticipation.

Raghavendra B K

Well, you might consider than in the United States, yes,
our own little country, people have been denied jobs,
persecuted, and in other ways harassed FOR PERFECTLY
LEGAL BEHAVIOR.
Even in your stating that you do nothing in private
that you would mind having exposed "except for things
like sex", you are stating that to some degree
privacy is important to you.
Because, as I'm sure you're aware, in some states
certain types of sex - things less kinky than occured
recently in the White House - are against the law,
even when conducted by a man and woman joined in
holy matrimony sactioned by the state.
So, buddy, you never know, if privacy rights disappear,
it might be YOUR back up against the wall.
Those who wrote our Constitution understood the world
better than you do, I'm afraid...

I am planning to change ourCompaq Prosignia netware file server to an

have about 30 PC's to connect. Is it a good Idea to acquire a Digital

It doesn't piss me off at all. It just makes me wonder about the

My own attitude is that if you really want to look into my underwear
drawer, go ahead, it's your own tough luck. Personally, I can't see
how 'privacy' has improved my life in any way. I try not to do things
in private that I would be ashamed to do in public. (Except for the
obvious stuff, like sex and other biological functions, which OUGHTN'T
to be done in public. But I would hope enough common sense will
prevail to exclude those things from the discussion.)
If you need YOUR privacy, then go ahead and fight for it. That's fine,
I'm just curious about folk's thoughts on it.
My fault, I know, but I still don't quite get the jist.

Every MODEM has a MAC address also...so your friends pc is nicless, but not
macless
As far as I know you cannot network anywhere without a mac address since
IP's map directly to machine addresses at lower levels to identify your
particular machine on any network. So, if your connected to any network via
any hardware device (router, switch, modem, nic) those devices must have mac
addresses.
and modems are easy to replace compared to CPU's also...

Hello !!!
Why shouldn't I be? For Example:
we are running local linux server and we want to use fetchmail to download our
mail. Every user will type in .fetchmailrc his password. Then root can just
browse to his/hers' directory and see the password.
Fetchpop (another version of retrieving POP3 mail) has an option so that it
can encrypt your password and nobody can see it. I think that would be a very
good feature to fetchmail also. I don't want a superb encryption but a simple
one so a normal user couldn't see the password.

Date: Thu, 18 Mar 1999 23:54:57 GMT
I have @HOME, and spent 5 hours on the phone with their support(?) people a
couple of nights ago. It is nice to know that they do have some Linux heads
there. But the problem they chased for all those hours(up to 2:30AM) was as
they put it...a tech working on a router somewhere. I don't really believe
it, but who knows...symptom is cable light goes out, and unit goes bet\ween
flashing cable light, and test light.
Meanwhile tore out the Linux firewall, etc, and had just the NT box
connected to the cable modem. Then the service came back on, and has been
fine, albeit slow, ever since.
But it has always been pretty slow. Need to tweak MTU. Get 400kbps at best
rarely.
It does frequently stop, in general with no indication. I chech the local
router at the headend to see it it is me or them. Usually I can ping it
fine, but that's as far as she goes. This is frequent, and is probably too
many "Little Johnny's" doing geography homework, or some other waste of
bits.
If you call customer service, be prepared for a VERY LONG wait. Took 2 hours
to talk to the first guy, and another two hours to get to the second, and he
had no record from the first guy of my problem...Y'know, they almost seem
like cable TV guys.
OH! One last thing. I do not and will not use DHCP. Tell 'em you want a
static IP address. I got three and collected the whole set.

One way to have multiple web sites is to have the httpd's running on
different ports. It is common to have applications with a operational port
of 80 and a maintenance port of some other number. I also used to run an
experimental or design site if you will, next to the operational one. The
drawback in this is that you need to know the port number if different from
80. There are ways to fix this also but more importantly if someone could
respond to part 2 I would also like to know how to set up the DNS for this
situation.

Without any problems.
When you find your httpd.conf, their you find the header #<Virtualhost> just
enter the right values, and you have your virtual http domain setup. This is
an example
<VirtualHost www.otherdomain.com>
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /usr/local/www.otherdomain.com
ServerName www.otherdomain.com
ErrorLog logs/www.otherdomain.com-error_log
TransferLog logs/www.otherdomain.com-access_log
</VirtualHost>
When you want people to have their own ip addresses then you should recompile
a kernel with (i can't remember the exact parameter, but it is under
networking), it enables you to add several ip addresses to a single NIC.
You should also create an extra primary zone for that domain name to your DNS
/etc/named.boot or named.conf. This is so that they have their own domain
lookup zones.

/var/named/root.cache
primary 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa /etc/synapses-it.dns

Date: Fri, 19 Mar 1999 16:11:37 +0100
Did you make a masquerading kernel yet? Just hammering in the ipfadm or ipchains
firewall rules isn't sufficient.
You should make a kernel and enable:
firewalling
ip masquerading
icmp masquerading
optimize your host as router
and... ip always defragment.
Also be sure to set the default gateway address of your clients to the ip
address of your linuxbox on their subnet. f.i. 192.168.1.1 is the ip address of
your linuxbox in the localnet then the gateway addresses should be set to
192.168.1.1
What also is crusial to know is what kernel do you use. With 2.2.x kernel, you
need to set ip_forwarding. (I don't have that documentation here) if you run
2.2.x mail me at mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
After you've compiled the kernel, be sure to copy the kernel to the ./ (root)
and to add an other boot section for that file in your /etc/lilo.conf and then
ALWAYS even if you overwrite a file run lilo.
And that's it. (I've done it within 30 minutes). Als insert the ip_masq modules
for strange protocolls.
If you just want to use httpp and ftp (or you feel the need of a caching proxy),
then you can also install squid this is a caching proxy, it runs default from
port 3128. Setup the browsers and your even faster done.

With NFS the UID and GID must match the onces taht are in the /etc/passwd file.
WIth most NFS clients on windows, you can set the UID and GID, set them to match
the once in your /etc/passwd file for that user and it must work.

Windows is a 32 bit patch to a 16 bit GUI based on a 8 bit operating
system, written for a 4 bit processor by a 2 bit company which can
not stand 1 bit of competition.

First install a Xserver on your Windowsx 98 machine. (A good server is the X
server from Chameleon, though it is not for free but trial versions can be
obtained).
Then let that software telnet to your Linux machine and start a xterm -display
ipaddreswin98:0.0. (also be sure your windows 98 server will allow
connections!) Then you get an Xterm and you can start any other programs
without entering the -display parameter.
The same procedure is used when connecting from other Unix servers. first run
xhost ipaddress_server_you_are_connecting (or for the people who don't care
about security among us xhost +) Telnet in type xterm -display:0.0 and after a
few seconds you have an xterm running.
