we want to fetch our mails using pop3 from the isp, where we have some
aliases. we told fetchmail with the -S option to send all mails to another
machine which is running MS-exchange. the problem is, that fetchmail changes
all receipients to root@server instead of letting them untouched.

There are free versions of Apache with SSL available on the Apache site. The
only reason to every *pay* for an SSL version of Apache is to get an RSA key.
If you own your own key (from Verisign, for example), you can use that with
any webserver you like... including the free Apache-SSL versions.

Not that I know of. Really, it's not that hard to compile a package. there
are step-by-step instructions included with the sourcecode, but the gist of
it is this:
tar -xzvf apache-xxx.tgz
cd apache-xxx/
./configure --with-prefix=/usr/local/web1
make
That's it! The needed binary ("httpd") is created in the source tree, and you
copy that to wherever it needs to go.
The you start the different versions like this:
/usr/local/web1/bin/httpd -d /usr/local/web1/conf
and
/usr/local/web2/bin/httpd -d /usr/local/web2/conf
...and you're good to go.

HTTPS uses a separate TCP port from `normal' HTTP. You'll need
to allow traffic on port 443 (it should be called https in /etc/services) in
both directions. If you'd like a little extra security, you can require
that
incoming HTTPS packets have the ACK bit set ( -k switch for ipfwadm).
Good luck.

I would recommend that you use one IP address per machine; it makes it
easier to keep track of which box is which if each one has one and only
one
IP address. Since you won't be running Windoze and Linux at the same
time,
no conflict will arise using the same IP address for that hardware.

There are lots of views on how to come up with a theme for hostnames;
this is the
easy part. The important bit is that a hostname is only one word, not a
bunch of
words separated by periods.
The DOMAIN part is harder; if you are actually connected to the
internet, you
really need to either use the domain of your ISP, or you need to apply for
your own
domain AND set up and maintain a nameserver (either by yourself, or
through your ISP).
The domain part is everything after the first period in one of those
Internet Name strings.

Strictly speaking, you could alter both the TrueName and the nickname,
but
a number of applications count on the names `localhost' and `local' for
this address,
which is also called the `loopback' address. Therefore, I recommend
leaving these
names unchanged.
> Then add a new entry IP-192.168.100.2 Name-linuxbox.linux.com
> Nickname-linuxbox
This is where you supply the name that other machines (on your network,
at least)
will use to contact you. It should be just a hostname, not the
fully-qualified name (ie,
one word, not several words separated by periods.)

There's a separate PnP enable/disable you have to toggle at
some point, and IIRC you might have to save the value and
restart to have it take effect (it's been awhile since I've
done this, so don't quote me!)
Mine's an ISA, not PCI, version but I think you disable PnP
the same way on both.

OK, I've had a chance to look further into this, and I come to the
following conclusions....
1. The card I have - a BT speedway internal - is a Fritz/PCI version.
2. There are 3 Fritz types in the ISDN4Linux Hisax driver module: Fritz,
Fritz!PnP, Fritz!PCI
3. The internal BT Speedway needs the Fritz!PCI
4. Each type of card requires a different type argument in the insmod
call. I should have been using:
modprobe -v hisax protocol=2 type=27
But....
5. the Fritz!PCI & Fritz!PnP drivers are included in 2.0.36, but not in
2.2.x
6. the Fritz!PCI driver included in the latest version of ISDN4Linux
won't compile in 2.2.n
(at least I can't get it to!)
7. 2.2.x is great - there's so much good stuff in here I don't want to
regress
Conclusion - I'll just have to manage with my 33.6 modem until some
wonderful person can tell
me how to get the Fritz!PCI driver compiled in 2.2.n !
or...
the Fritz!PCI driver gets rolled into the 2.2 kernel distribution.
Any takers ?
Also, I think the BT Speedway card is being pushed pretty strongly with
the new
BT Highway products and is selling pretty well, - there may be lots pf
people out there
with the same problem as me !

Check your documentation for how to have the firmware print out its
settings. Among them will be the ip address. Once you have this telnet in
and hit return twice. You should get a ">" prompt. Type ? and return for
current status and change whatever you like. Example to change ip number
type "ip: <number>" and enter. Easy as that.

hardware. From all of your suggestions, I realized that more recent JetDirect
cards allow the IP address to be set through the printer control panel. My
printer does not display a MIO menu, nor is there any way to set the IP via
any other menu. No Mac software that I have seems capable of setting or even
displaying to me a standard TCP/IP address.
When I searched the HP web site, I found, of course, 3600 documents
pertaining to my problem ... actually, I did locate a couple pertinent ones.
One document, in particular, stated that the JetAdmin program required
firmware revisions of X.02.nn or X.03.nn. My firmware is A.01.00, so I don't
expect JetAdmin to work. Another document even stated that telnet support did
not begin until X.02 revisions. This I take to mean that I will not be able
to telnet to my card to change any options even if I succeed in determining
its IP address.
You all were also helpful in explaining that the Appletalk numbers are more or
less arbitrarily assigned; I take this to mean that I'll most likely never be
able to convert the 65280 network number into a Linux readable IP address.
In summary, I'm just stuck with old equipment: I can't set the IP address
through a MIO menu, jetAdmin won't work, and I can't telnet to it. Since I
require the Mac connection to this printer, I guess I'll have to upgrade the
JetDirect card. Depending upon the expense of doing so, perhaps the best
strategy would just be to buy a different printer for the Linux boxes leaving
the older HP 4M on the Mac.
Thanks for all of your help,
Nick B.

Hi there,
I am running a RH5.1 at home with Apache installed. I want to explore
the web-server, play around with cgi-script... I 've got a the usual
dialup ppp a/c with the local ISP with no static IP.
Is that possible to use that link to set up my web server? If so, what
should be the domain name, host name, local machine ip etc etc. Is
there any FAQ or HOWTO which targets for such kind of causal use? I
just want to test that out with my friends. Therefore, I dont care
about speed and trouble (eg update the link from my hotmail homepage
each time...)
Thanks in advance.
David Yuen
