Hello,
Here is a company that makes pretty good mail server with all the functions
that you need: http://www.stalker.com/
The draw back is - it's NOT FREE!
Good luck!

Dear All,
I would like to go thru with a net installation of Linux (RedHat or
Mandrake) for experience. I have the
RedHat5.2 at home. But here is my problem...after making the boonet.img
floppy and botting of the disk
I found that the network card we are using (SMC Ez 10/100) is not in the
list of supported cards.
Can anyone suggest an alternative?? All the other PC's in the office
have the same card so I really
cannot try another system.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Subject: FTP Client thru Apache....
Date: Thu, 1 Jul 1999 22:39:33 -0400
I've got RedHat 6.0 up with Apache acting as a proxy (with a remote proxy)
for a Win98 machine. IPChains is up and running fine. Ftp from Linux works
fine, but when I try to connect an Win98 FTP client through the Linux box,
this is what I get:
..
..
..
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
CWD /pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/updates
250 CWD command successful.
PWD
257 "/pub/Linux/distributions/redhat/updates" is current directory.

address
500 Illegal PORT Command <<<<<<<<<<

I'm not sure if I've hosed Win98 or if IPChains is not working right?
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

You've ALMOST got a point - but a host-centric addressing scheme can
support support multiple addresses per host. (That's how the DECnet
cluster alias feature in VMScluster works.) Given your multiple
virtual FTP servers scheme: why would want the multiple addresses
to denote particular interfaces? Why wouldn't you prefer to have
the multiple addresses NOT be dependent on specific interfaces?
Actually, I'll now concede the superiority of IP - because
there's nothing STOPPING you from configuring on a node some
IP addresses that denote the node (e.g. the IOS "loopback"
interface) and some IP addresses that denote the physical
interfaces. Or you may even be able to have the physical
interfaces use the node address. (Ala our "ip unnumbered
loopback0".)
Then the TCP/UDP/IP stack should make sure that, by default,
TCP/UDP transmissions use the node address rather than any
physical address.
So actually IP's link-centricism is superior (because more
flexible) than DECnet's node-centricism. The only rub against
IP is that no stack maker (not even us) gives the user the
flexibility to configure and fully use a node address. So I
admit that the problem of link-centric addressing is not
inherent in IP; it only happens to be present in all known
implementations.

Yep. 16-bit addressing didn't help DECnet much, neither did

Yes, but there is a practical difference. Most (at least mediocre) C
programmers would never write the above, because we've all been taught
that preprocessor macros must be named in all-caps. Macros that modify
their args most definitely need to be in all-caps. The language
doesn't strictly require it but the legacy is strong.
C++ programmers, by contrast, do *not* by and large play by the rule
that arguments passed by reference must be treated as const. If they
did, we wouldn't be having this discussion.

I believe he is referring to POP boxes on the ISP server. In that case,
ETRN would not work, as it requires the email to be sitting in the queue
waiting for the remote end to connect and say ETRN. You would also have
to say ETRN Domainname and not just ETRN, or the system might not know
what domain you are.
A lot of providers charge extra for it, some don't know what it is...
Just depends on how good your provider is at providing extra services
like that.
If not, you could setup diald, and run fetchmail for the boxes every
so often...

There is a commercial product called CyberScheduler from Crosswind

You also need a web server for it to use, but it claims to work with

In the DC area, you're best off picking a UUNet-connected ISP, since they
have one of the best backbones in the DC area. You might also check into
a Qwest-connected provider, since Qwest has one of the most superior network
infrastructures..
The best way to find out if they "support" linux is by calling them and
just asking if 1.) They run Linux on any of their machines or 2.) Support
Linux. If they run Linux, you'll know they at least won't be negative
towards Linux. I wouldn't expect them to provide technical support for
Linux, though, as most of us ISPs don't have enough hours in a day to
walk new Linux users through the complete setup procedure... it takes us
enough time to straighten out the Doze users.. :)

And after rebooting, I get the same message during the boot messages.
And after that the domain localhost name which usually apppears to the

I looked at Nettools using RPM packet manager and it found permissions

Anybody could tell how to fix things ?

Are you using a DHCP client? The daemon forks to the background
immediately to negotiate the lease, and won't bring up the interface until
either a lease has been obtained or the daemon determines no server is
present (in which case you get an address of 0.0.0.0). Meanwhile your
boot script continues to run in parallel to the lease process. If your
scripts refer to the interface before it is up then you get errors.
Most DHCP clients include the ability to automatically configure the
gateway address from the lease data, so explicit routing commands
shouldn't be neccessary.

One thing I've wondered about this routing anomaly is what happens when
you are trying to serve two subnets of Windows machines? Do you add a
route to host 255.255.255.255 on both subnets? Doesn't that confuse the
router?

Does anyone know of where I can find any good scripts/how to on
syncronzizing my passwd files between multiple Linux Boxes? (Red Hat 6.0).
While I know that I can use NIS to do this, and have used it in the past
for this, it doesn't actually propogate the passwd and shadow files to the
other system.
Not all of my programs are able to properly handle NIS. Furthermore, I
want to be able to cd ~username on my 2nd machine and hit the home
directory which is automounted via autofs.
While on that line of questioning, is there any way to indicate ALL home
directories should be Automounted using Autofs or do I have to add each
user to auto.home as I currently do?

bbs that is similar to Opus, I do know Maximus is very similar but
apparently does not have a Linux or even a unix version. only Dos/Os2
versions exist.
Is there a freeware or public domain (gnu copyleft?) version of a
bbs that supports the Opus/Maximus OEC's or Mecca type graphics and screen
controlls? that uses a bbs.ctl file? I am NOT interested in a REMOTE Access
type bbs program.
I DO have Citadel ver 4.00 installed but I never used such a beast
and I do not even really know how to manage colors or custom terminal
configurations. Citadel seems to be dependent on a client/server
archetecture which does NOT really help me intergrate it into my hodgepodge
set up of leafnode 1.10b2 (yes, there REALLY is a 1.10B2. its beta though)
or the use of newsgroups for online users.
I hate to have to go back to Ms-dos just to run Opus 1.79 or
Maximus since Linux provides the ability to intergate the internet into a
local dial up bbs system.

Creating links in /home/ftp dir to other directories defeats the purpose of
anonymous ftp, which uses 'change root' feature to restrict users from going
to directories other then /home/ftp. So for anonymous user /home/ftp looks
like root directory.
I think the only way to access other directories is to actually login with
valid name and password.
Good luck!
