Subject: Squid works great! Just need POP3...
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 09:46:19 -0500
I have Redhat 6.0 running on a 486/80 between my home network and my
ADSL
connection. (I'm amazed at how much work you can get out of a 486
without it slowing you down!)
I'm running Squid and everything is almost wonderful. A couple of my
users
(otherwise know as family members) are hooked on web based email and all
is
right with their world. My wife and I however, enjoy our POP3 email
accounts
and have grown attached to Eudora Pro. As far as I can tell POP3 and
SMTP
and Squid were never meant to get along.
That's OK, I was feeling ambitious and figured I'd just set up
Fetchmail/Sendmail to poll and retrieve mail and then point Eudora to
our
new intranet-based mail server. It seemed like a good idea 3 days ago,
but I
think I'm developing cranial leakage. I don't want to build an ISP, I
just
want my stinkin email. <grin>
Can I get there from here? Do I need to also run a SOCKS server? Is
there a
magic word that enables Squid to pass this stuff? I can think of a
couple of
convoluted ways to accomplish this, but I want the email to be seamless.
If
you wrote to [EMAIL PROTECTED] I want you to receive a response from
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks in advance for any advice you may have for me.

Kalimera Christos,
"dd" command is excellent in these kind of tasks.
For saving a diskette image in /root/mydikettes directory, I use :
dd if=/dev/fd0 of=/root/mydiskettes/cnet-util-dkt.1 bs=1440k
To create a diskette from a saved image :
dd if=/root/mydiskettes/cnet-util-dkt.1 of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
I usually save my important diskettes this way, to be able to recreate
it back when (not "if" :-) the diskette builds media errors.
Kalispera,

Based on the fact that you refer to modems, am I correct in assuming
that your friend's system calls in once in a while to download the
incoming mail? If so, you should be able to work with your ISP to set
up their server to hold all incoming mail for the domain unprocessed.
Then the Linux box that dials in from your friend's network could
download all mail and process it as if it was a regular mail server.
The setup is a little involved and takes some cooperation with your ISP
but should work fine once it's going.
But, if the linux system is connected through a dedicated modem that is
supposed to be always connected, it can act as a regular mail server,
just like any other Linux box. Nothing special is required at the mail
server level (i.e. you need an MX reference for the domain in the DNS
server to point to your server and you need to configure your mail
server software to handle mail for the domain)

I always recommend getting name brand parts over generic "equivelants".
The only problems I have consistently had have been with non name brand
parts.

Hi everybody
Can anybody give me a step-by-step introduction on setting up a
NIS-Server? I'm running SuSE 6.1 and DLD 6.1 on networked machines and
still receive this `domain not bound' messages despite intensive care
that I wasted on my conf files. All packages are installed, I've got a
working connection, all pings and so on , telnet, rlogin et. al. working
just fine. I think, I'm not a lonely soul in the desert with this
problem as this newsgroup reveals.
And BTW: Can anybody give me a hint how to use an Linksys Ether 16
network adaptor with linux? I can't find a working driver.
Thanks for any suggestions

From: Eric the Fruitbat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 15:51:47 GMT
A machine which performs masqueraded forwarding over a dial-up
connection occasionally experiences the unexpected termination of its
diald. No errors are generated, and no events logged; there's no
evidence of the failure, except that suddenly outbound-bound net
traffic ceases and no connection can be re-established. Running diald
again from a shell is sufficient to restore functionality, but it
still makes me wonder what's going on. Any suggestions? Thanks.

This is just what I have done before, but it doesn't work. The strange

this means do not compile your kernel too often ? :-)

Hi Edward,
I was wondering if your cable connection takes a performance hit
behind the Maquerading. I have the same setup as you (Linux, RR, uplink
hub, etc) and it works ok, but the thing is that it is a lot slower
behind Linux. If I was directly connected, i could get up to 160 KB/s.
Behind Linux, I rarely get much faster than 30 KB/s. David Wood, one of
the authors of the IP Masq HOWTO told me that 2 network cards would be
much better, so I plan to move up to that configuration soon. Just wanted
to share with you...

How are your hosts.deny and hosts.allow files setup? Also, the
machine you are trying to mount from (i.e., the machine that wants to
use the other machine's exported resource), does it have a DNS entry

Nope. Recompile as often as you find it useful. It is usually a good
idea to keep up with at least the stable kernels as they are released.
But as we have discovered, redhat make undocumented assumptions about
the kernel configuration. You only need to sort out what is needed once:
it is usually very simple to copy the configuration for one release to
the next. Then carry out any tweaks if needed.

But if you use PAP then you aren't very likely to need login/password

Hello all,
I am having trouble getting a Compaq Deskpro DP4000 with a Netelligent
10/100 TX embedded UTP ethernet controller to work on my network.
Here's the scenario:
- I Dual boot Winnt and Suse 6.1
- Everything works under NT
- I obtain all ip config stuff via DHCP
- The network card idiot lights do not light up under Linux but do
under NT.
- Under Linux, I'm loading the tlan module.
- Under Linux, the TLAN driver appears to be using the proper IO
address and IRQ.
- Calls to ifconfig yield the proper ethernet address from the card.
Basically, everything under linux looks like it should work. Only,
nothing ever hits the wire. I'm not sure what else to check and could
really use some suggestions.
Thanks,
Jeff

Check your module config files in /etc. It could be that the contents
tell the system that your networking stuff is in modules, when in fact
they aren't.
