Hi:
I setup a RH 5.0; Sendmail is working well as the server can send and
receive.
However when I check mail I got the following error:
Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or long period of
inactivity. Account "john", server 'here the server ip address', protocol
POP3, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F
The server has a legal IP adress.
I detect that the server does not even authenticate users.
Did I miss something during the install about pop3 options ?
Thanks kindly.
Gilbert

I'm trying to get INN 2.2 running on my system. I followed the instructions
in the INSTALL, but I cannot get it to start up properly.
Whenever I run ~news/rc.news or ~news/inndstart, I get these lines in my
syslog file:
Mar 22 14:34:49 inserver inndstart: inndstart cant setgroups Operation not
permitted
Mar 22 14:34:49 inserver inndstart: inndstart cant bind Permission denied
When I run ~news/innd directly (as root), it seems to work just fine, but
I'd rather not do it that way.
Any ideas what these messages mean?
Thanks!

I had no trouble with 2.0.36, just when I upgraded. In fact I'm running
again on 2.0.36 now to get my server up and running.
Since you use a static IP you have no need for DHCP, it's a one or the other
setup.

For security reasons.
It's a bad idea to let the world have access to a telnet daemon that
permits root logins, as J. Random Cracker can then run a program to try to
crack your root password remotely.
If you don't permit root logins, then they have to guess a valid user name
and password first, then work on cracking the root password from a local
account.

What's the best tasting fruit: Apples, Pears, Oranges, or Bananas?
If it's not in the FAQ's, it should be added.
Maybe we should all answer: Best? In What Way?
Or maybe someone should just set up a "Best" distro of Linux, maybe
at www.BestLinux.com and we could send them all there.
Then hire a guy name Best to be the webmaster.

Hi Martin and Greg,
Thanks for both your replies... I will break the seal and see what
happens... I'd like to add a 4th question if you don't mind... namely I
already have Windows NT installed on my dual processor system, and have a
free partition on my HD... would Linux be able to coexist on the same HD
with NT, could I stick it in partition 4 and have it leave NT relatively
untouched? Anyway, while waiting for your reply, I'll be opening the seal
and trying to figure out which of the 4 enclosed Linux books to try
reading/printing (thank god for fast autoduplexing laser printers).
Thanks

We are using SOCKS as client side firewall in a quite big Java based CORBA
application. Works fine.
I also "socksified" an old version of ORBacus just to test the concept.
The big advantage of SOCKS is that many organisations support it on their
firewalls. It's not necessary to add any new CORBA specific software
and it's much better than tunneling of IIOP thru HTTP proxies.
The disadvantage is that secure handling of callbacks is difficult.

Looks like you are missing one step. You need to have another line for
route.
/sbin/route add -host 192.0.0.3 dev eth0:0
With that said here is a nice script I used and it worked the first time. :)
#!/bin/sh
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
BROADCAST="192.0.0.255"
NETTYPE="eth0"
IPALIASES=" 192.0.0.3 192.0.0.30 192.0.0.40"
# Add as many or take away the number of IP-Aliases you want.
i=o
for ALIAS in $IPALIASES
do
/sbin/ifconfig ${NETTYPE}:${i} ${ALIAS} \
broadcast ${BROADCAST} netmask ${NETMASK}
/sbin/route add -host ${ALIAS} dev ${NETTYPE}:${i}
i=$[$i+1]
done
Hope that helps and answers all your questions.

Yes, the 850 should work well with either the cdj850 driver or the
hpdj driver. The older "standard" Ghostscript drivers have less
support for HP's resolution enhancement modes.
You should be able to find a contrib RPM or whatever than includes one
or both of these drivers. (I know that the standard Debian package
includes at least one, so I guess you're not on Debian).

You are correct - it doesn't. You have, as I see it two options other
than "using numbers":
1. Register myOtherAddress with Internic so you can legitimately
serve "www.myOtherAddress.com" from your DNS server.
2. Use "other.myDNSaddress.com" in the URL, instead of insisting
that you want to use a non-registered domain name.
For either one, the hostname can be assigned a new IP which your
main machine can serve along with its other IPs.
