What are the steps for setting up fetchmail and sendmail and what are the
syntaxes for using them. I am new to linux and am trying to make a script
that :
1-Connects to a remote pop3 mail server.
2-Reads in new Mail.
3-Replies to the mail with a pregenerated "Thank you" message.
4-Fowards that mail to another email address of mine.
ANY info on this would be great..this is my task and I have little clue how
to start. Thank you.
A reply through email would be great!
Thanks again.

John:
Did you ever figure out why your dhcpcd was core-dumping? I've had a
similar experience. I have a Redhat 5.2 system & version 0.7 of
dhcpcd. I just had US West set up an ADSL line and they supplied me
with a Cisco 675 routing modem. US West is making all their new
customers connect with the Cisco set to PPP mode as opposed to Bridging
Mode like some friends of mine have. When my system finishes booting,
dhcpcd is nowhere to be found, and when I run it with the -d option,
I find that it core-dumps like yours did. If I run tcpdump, too, I
find that the core-dump occurs after two pairs of "bootpc" and "bootps"
packets are exchanged. Inside the packets I found the IP address it
was trying to give me, and if I set up a static IP with that address,
the network works. But this PPP mode apparently turns the Cisco into
a firewall, so I can't telnet from outside back to my Linux box, for
instance. (If I do, I get the cbos> prompt that one gets when one
talks to the Cisco through its Management Port.) Since I was curious to
see if my dhcpcd was crashing because of some faulty setup of Linux,
I carried my computer over to a friend's house who had the same ISP
(uswest.net) but whose account was set up for Bridging Mode. In that
environment, my dhcpcd runs perfectly.
If you or anyone else has a better solution than my kluge, I'd
appreciate hearing about it!

A friend of mine had the same problem. The answer was the following in his case:
The automatic linux installation also started a dummy network device with the
same ip address as the real ethernet interface. After removing the dummy
interface entry, everything was fine.
So maybe you run ifconfig and see if you have the same problem....

Subject: HP 4MP cannot got "40 ERROR" using serial.
Date: Tue, 4 May 1999 16:07:21 +0800
I have a HP LaserJet 4MP which used serial connection to connect with Redhat
Linux ver 5.2, I already installed teh printer driver "hp4mp", it works fine
when I print ASCII testing, but it got error message once I try to print
postscript testing.
The "40 ERROR" definitation is :
"The printer encountered an error while transferring data from the computer.
If you are using the serial I/O, you might have caused this error by turning
the computer ON or OFF while the printer was on line; or your printer's baud
rate or parity was not the same as the computer's."
then I tried to change the closing_wait and closing_wait2 into higher
number, it stills doesn't work. THen I tried another which is matching the
baud rate speed on the printer and serial port are the same (57600, 9600,
etc), it also got the error message.
Anyone have any idea?
I would be appreciated if you could help.

Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 04:55:30 GMT
I am just refining Michael's tips a little.
His advice is essentially correct. In
fact, it applies for use of X in general.
Michael P. Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message
news:B6uX2.1201$[EMAIL PROTECTED]...
> 1. Start your xserver on the pc. You may need to configure it to run in
> "Single window mode", or whatever.
The MiX server (MicroImages X server as
referred to below) comes as a set of .exe's
for the Windows platform. The icon that is
installed launches TNTSTART.exe which
starts both the server itself, XS.exe, and a
window manager TWM.exe. (I don't know
how the window manager runs on the server
instead of the client as is usual with X, but
it doesn't matter here.)
To use (one of) the Linux window managers,
(KDE in my case), just be sure XS.exe has
been started first on the Windows machine,
the one whose net name is "pcaddress" here.
For your Mac, I'm sure there is a similar split
of responsibility among executable images,
but they will be named differently, of course.
> 2. Telnet into your linux box, login as your userid
I don't think the MiX server enforces any kind
of access privilege based on userid. You can
also start this from the Linux console if you do
not have telnet on your Mac.
> 3. set your DISPLAY variable: "export DISPLAY=pcaddress:0.0"
That's the bash or ksh invocation. Under csh or
tcsh you would "setenv DISPLAY pcaddress:0.0".
> 4. run your .xinit or /etc/X11/xinit verify these file locs first I
> can't remember where they live.
It is sufficient to start the window manager
at this point. For example, I do "startkde".
If this was too detailed an explanation, I
apologize. It is easy to gloss over some
non-obvious details.

That might be an oversimplification. (A

The window manager provides that stuff.
To see what you see on the Linux box's

Unless there is some strangeness with
Mac sockets ports, the above should work
if you have IP connectivity otherwise.

I was able to use "ifup ppp0" to start a connection and "ifdown ppp0" to
take the link down. I got tired of doing that by hand, so I had a look

To overcome your problem do as below.
1- Launch the registry editor as follows in your windows machine.
Click on : /Start/Run
Type "regedit" and press enter.
2 - Dbl click on on : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3 - Locate te following key:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/VxD/VNETSUP
4 - From the menu bar select Edit/New/Dword Value.

10/100 RJ45/BNC cards are kinda rare. I never saw one until recently.
Couldn't you get a 10/100 and put both in your PC, and select the one

I bought a LinkSys Etherfast 10/100 for less than $25 and it fulfills

i use the 3com 3c509 (vortex or boomerang) with my linux box. have never
had a problem.
you need one of the newer kernels for the driver for it, or you need to
go get the source code for the driver for older versions(cant remember
the website).
3com is fairly reputable and as i recall they were pretty
inexpensive(50.00 - 70.00 range)
also, if your computer supports it, they provide the wakeup on lan
option and cables if you want to use your linux box as some sort of
network or file server.

I guess the question is why? Coax only goes to 10 that I have seen.
You can get a combo 10 nic for $20. A name brand 10/100 for $75 of
course with no coax.
