Hi,

you must define a "smarthost". That host get your non loclal mails. Set in
sendmail configfile
SMARTHOST="provider-hostname"

Dave,

You're probably already aware of this, but sendmail aliases aren't actually
stored in the /etc/aliases file. They're stored in a DBM database that's
generated from the "aliases" file. What I would suggest is that you make a
backup of the /etc/aliases.pag and /etc/aliases.dir files, delete them, then
type the command "newaliases". (I think that's what it is... check in the
man pages for "aliases" it should tell you there.) The other thing that may
be wrong is that your DBM implementation libraries might have become
damaged. If that is the case, you will have to re-install them from your
distribution.

    Sigh.   The optimisations that a particular compiler can do may
    be spiffy for that compiler, but it certainly doesn't stop you
    from performing much the same optimisations on a different
    compiler and a different language.

    For you, C++ may be better than sex, and the One True Way of C++ may
    be using C++ on your machine, using your compiler and your coding
    style.  Your, umm, views might be more compelling if you commented
    on the advantages of the language, instead of inadvertantly pointing
    out the disadvantages.

Caldera sets up the KDE desktop by default, which is probably what
you're referring to.  Most (Debian is one exception) distributions
include kde...if not you can download it.  
Nothing will stop you from dual booting, but it seems kind of

I had the same experience, so I downloaded the old distribution
and it compiled and installed without a hitch.  It's been working
fine ever since.

   There is a project working on a clone of Net X Ray, the pattern for the

I have access to several terminal servers which use Digital's
LAT protocol. Is there any way to connect / communicate with these
servers from Linux? (They're all of ten feet away- it's begging to 
happen. Possible applications: easy access to networked printers,
ability to use green screen terminals in the building to log in to 
the linux box, etc).

I've done a very superficial search through a couple of Linux 
resources and seen no mention of Local Area Transport... obviously
one of computing history's hottest commodities. Any pointers?
Got a lost cause on my hands? Or something I would have to write 
myself? Any easy fudges/kludges/workarounds or ways to use other
protocols in this situation?

Thanks for any thoughts.

Thanks for the reply, Ted. Here's my firewall script:

================= start ========================
#!/bin/sh
# Masquerading firewall

ipfwadm=/sbin/ipfwadm
aungsan="192.168.1.1"
dialup="172.xx.xx.xx"

echo -n "Firewall: reset "

# Implicitly trust eth0
TRUSTED=`/sbin/ifconfig eth0|sed -n -e "s/^[  ]*inet
addr\:\([0-9\.]*\).*$/\1/p"`

if [ -x $ipfwadm ]; then
        echo -n "tcp "
        # Add forwarding rules for clients
        $ipfwadm -F -a masquerade -P tcp -V $TRUSTED -S $aungsan -D any/0

        # Add input rule for internet -> local (masqueraded)
        $ipfwadm -I -a accept -P tcp -S any/0 -D $dialup

        # Add input rule for clients -> internet (to masquerade)
        $ipfwadm -I -a accept -P tcp -V $TRUSTED -S $aungsan -D any/0

        # Add output rule for local -> internet
        $ipfwadm -O -a accept -P tcp -S $dialup -D any/0

        # Add output rule for internet -> clients (masqueraded)
        $ipfwadm -O -a accept -P tcp -k -y -S any/0 -D $aungsan

echo "done."
fi
================= end ============================

Excuse me if this sounds a little naive, but I've tried running this
script from the prompt on suukyi (the gateway box) before adding it to a
startup script, expecting the forwarding to work... What I've done is to
add suukyi to the route table of aungsan to be the default (suukyi is
192.168.1.2 btw). The gateway is running ppp over a modem (and naturally
isn't up all the time), so the gateway for the gateway box is the remote
ip address for the ppp connection. I don't have the variable you speak of
set (my problem?), but if I run 'cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward' I get
the reply of '1' which I think is ok. As you can see, the firewall is wide
open with this script so far - I want it to work before I start closing it
up. I've followed much of the directions from an article I found in
'Sysadmin' mag, but left out any udp info - is it possible that this is
what I'm missing? It seemed to me that this protocol is unimportant for
tcp/ip connections and I'm not using a separate nameserver - though I
guess it may be necessary for that part anyway. At this point I expected
to be able to at least ping a known domain address from aungsan.

I'll bet that there is something glaringly obvious here but I don't know
what...


thanks for any advice,
joel

This problem is caused, on our machine anyway, by
a corrupt /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo
file. We found that ours had only one line as
follows:

BOOTPROTO=none

whereas it should look like this:

DEVICE=lo
IPADDR=127.0.0.1
NETMASK=255.0.0.0
NETWORK=127.0.0.0
BROADCAST=127.255.255.255
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=none

We are not sure how we got to this but we had
changed the hostname of the machine using netcfg.

telnet connection but no login prompt is displayed. If I login on it's

connection attempts, but they aren't working. ping works, I left it running
for ages to see if the wires were unreliable, but it seems to work quite
well.
I ran ifconfig, the card seems setup OK, although it cliams 0 TX errors, and
I'd of thought there would be at least some (there were 40 RX errors). I
don't know if thats significant.

I would be very grateful for any help, even if it's just a new direction to

After a weekend of getting my Win 98 connect to linux using ethernet, my
employer now tells me I must use RAS on Windows to keep me captive 24 hours
a day.  I know this is not a linux-specific question, but can this co-exist
with my linux setup, or should I tell my boss to take a hike?  Please help
me keep my job.

After a weekend of getting my Win 98 connect to linux using ethernet, my
employer now tells me I must use RAS on Windows using Dial Up Networking to
keep me captive at the office 24 hours a day.  I know this is not a
linux-specific question, but can this co-exist with my linux setup, or
should I tell my boss to take a hike?  Please help me keep my job.
