Maybe if you posted the driver code that won't compile or e-mailed it
to Donald Becker ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) [he's the whiz that does
a lot (all?) of the ethernet drivers for Linux, thank you very much
Donald, and I hope you aren't irritated I suggested this] you'd get some

The problem is that rpm will only verify against the local database.
So conceivably the rootkit could come as an RPM, or as a series of RPMS
and update the database. I'd like a means to tell rpm
Verify the list of packages that you have on the local machine, but
use the rpm database on the CD-ROM (or network location) for the MD5
sums and so on.
I'd also like a means to force update of all currently installed packages.
Right now, this is non-trivial because of the dependency problem. E.g.
if I've got Foo-2.1.3 that depends on Bar-1.1.7, and the new version of
Foo depends on Bar-2.03, then I have to upgrade Bar before I can upgrade Foo.
When dealing with 50 redhat boxes in different configurations, this can
get yucky in a hurry.a

They assume you are using Windows.
You should always assume that your ISP will assume you are using
Windows.
In Windows dial-up networking F7 is the key you hit to start the PPP
negotiation on the local machine.
When the ISP tells you to hit F7 then do whatever you do in minicom to
start PPP negotiation. (I don't know - I don't use minicom but I'm
fairly sure it's covered by the PPP-HOWTO).

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Hi,
I am currently trying to upgrade my sendmail from version 8.8.7 to 8.9.3
on a redhat 5.2 system. I have upgraded without succes. The problem is
as follows:
1) which rpms do I need for upgrading, I have found the following:
sendmail-8.9.1-2.i386.rpm
sendmail-cf-8.9.1-6.i386.rpm
sendmail-config-8.9.1-6.i386.rpm
As you can see non of the above sendmails are from version 8.9.3, where
can I find the latest sendmail.rpm (I have tried freshmeat and
filewatcher)
2) When I upgrade with the prviously mentioned sendmail rpms the mapfile
is moved from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin which has the effect that all mail
programs (pine/elm) think that I don't have mail anymore. How can I fix
that, can I just create a symbolic link in /usr/bin to /usr/sbin file?
Any help would be appresiated, please mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

DIGITAL TCP/IP Services for OpenVMS VAX Version V4.2 - ECO 1
on a VAXstation 4000-96 running OpenVMS V6.2
I get the following error in the linux system: -

I have had no problems mounting NFS exported file systems from a Digital

Any idea's.

What you have to do is let go of the nonsense about 'host' versus 'client'
computers. Linux is neither and both. Client/Server is a way of organizing
programs, and Linux can server as a client to some programs (my Linux
firewall is a print client to my Win95 system), a server to others (my
Win95 workstation is an internet access client to my Linux firewall), and a
peer to others still.

I don't know about RedHat's distribution, but in a generic Linux
installation there are a large number of files involved in the overall
system configuration. Unlike Windows, where there's only two or three files
that control everything, each component in a Linux system (and any Unix
system in general) may have it's own configuration files. Get a good book
on Linux (one of the O'Reilly books would be good), read it, and take your
configuration one step at a time. For each step, read the FAQ and HOWTO
documents that came with your system (they should be online somewhere) and,
when in doubt, ask questions.
Good luck.

I respectfully disagree. The two seem comparable to me in terms of
basic installation, with a nod to SuSE and RedHat (at the very least)
in the later stages of configuration and for better support of other
filesystems and extended partitions (FreeBSD is crippled by the need
to be installed in a primary, at least IMhO).
As a desktop system, I've never been all that happy with FreeBSD. It's
okay, I guess, but I prefer all three of the Linux distros I've used
over FreeBSD 2.1/2.2.2/2.2.7 based on my limited experience with those
versions so far.

Um...not sure about your Linux/Win98/NT problem but you have an even
bigger one: Your computer is infected with a winsock virus...Check your
original post...There's a happy99.exe attachment that is characteristic
of a winsock virus going around (can't remember the exact name -- check
symantec's page). You might want to fix that up before you continue.
Who knows, that might be the cause of your problem. :P

I have something along the same lines as the setup you're discussing.
The server is a lot more powerful than yours, I have no SCSI card, a
bigger hard drive, and I use a cable modem setup, but other than that,
it's much the same.
Advice: go out today and buy some books on Linux by O'Reilly
(http://www.ora.com/). Their books are witty, often irreverent,
always accurate, and I really think you can't do better.
Good luck !

It's a PNP modem, sounds like it is not set up...
You maybe need to use the pnptools plus maybe setserial to set it up
(read the man pages, of course):
1) Run /sbin/pnpdump > /etc/isapnp.conf
2) edit /etc/isapnp.conf to match your desired modem io, irq
3) run /sbin/isapnp /etc/isapnp.conf
4) maybe do something like this (edit for your config)
/bin/setserial /dev/ttyS0 port 0x3f8 irq 4 uart 16550A spd_vhi

Maybe you use domain masquerading with the "DM" parameter. It should be

There is no FROM_Header parameter in my sendmail.cf....
I recommend you build a sendmail.cf from a mc file (install the sendmail-cf
rpm, on my Redhat system, the file are unpacked in /var/lib/sendmail-cf), this
prevents weird things like this to happen.
