I have no answer about IP Masq and BIOS dates, but a question for you instead.
Why did you reboot to change your CMOS clock? You could have used the /sbin/hwclock
or /sbin/clock commands from a root shell to change the CMOS clock appropriately,
and avoided a reboot.

hi!
You must copy image from old server to new server
from login directory to news file server (mars)
or just make
xcopy from old server /login directory
to news file server to login directory
but NOT rewrite files on news file server.
hope it helps.
Have nice day.

I have exactly the same problem as the previous person, except that I don't
have a firewall. It's a local network between my Linux box and my Win'98
box. The Linux box 192.168.1.2 and Win'98 is 192.168.1.1. All network
services(ie., ftp, Samba) work, except for Telnet from Win'98 to Linux. All
I get is the contents of the issue.net file, and that's it. I checked the
inetd.conf, and made sure that telnetd is running, which it is whenever the
request comes in. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Yury.

Are you using two of the same kind of ethernet cards??? If are they compiled
into the Kernal or are you using modules? If they are the same, one of your
drivers should be compiled into the kernal in order for them to work
properly... I know this is true for 5.2.. and I suspect it would be true for
6.0.

Your gateway is not accesible. Are you sure the subnet in which 108 is
located owns the entire 166.104.88.x class ? If it is a subnet then I
don't think it does. So, you should check again: gateway's IP address
for the network card which belongs to local net (net with 107 & 108),
netmask and broadcast addresses. If 107 works fine then see which
gateway it uses ...

Subject: Apache UserDir CGI scripts
Date: 23 Aug 1999 09:50:37 -0500
Could someone please tell what is required to run CGI scripts
from a user's home directory, i.e., ~/user/public_html/cgi-bin/xxx.cgi".
User's web pages work from their public_html directory.
I can't find (except in a news search) any info on accomplishing
the above.
Here's what I have in my acces.conf:
<DirectoryMatch ^/home/.*/public_html>
Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Indexes
AllowOverride All
</DirectoryMatch>
<DirectoryMatch ^/home/.*/public_html/cgi-bin>
Options ExecCGI SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
AllowOverride None
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
</DirectoryMatch>
I put the a cgi script in the public_html/cgi-bin directory
I invoke it with the following html tidbit:
<CENTER>
<!--#exec cgi="/cgi-bin/ViPcounter/vipcounter.pl"-->
</CENTER>
OR
<CENTER>
<!--#exec cgi="http://www.myhome.com/~user/cgi-bin/ViPcounter/vipcounter.pl"-->
</CENTER>
Neither work. There are no errors in my apache error_log. There
is no output whatsoever on the web page (and no errors either). It
doesn't seem to be parsed at all.
What else is needed.
I have:
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .html (for testing purposes only)
in srm.conf.
Do I need any htaccess stuff?
How exactly is a cgi script invoked (i.e., what is the relative
path to put in an html file to invoke a cgi script relative to a user's
home dirrectory)?
Thanks in advance.

Subject: SMTP Server Problem
Date: Mon, 23 Aug 1999 10:04:24 -0400
I am trying a linux box for SMTP. Its running sendmail. Internal mails are
working fine. It can send mails to the internet but it cant receive any
mails. e.g If I send a mail from hotmail.com to this server I am trying the
mail comes back saying :
________________________________________________
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at hotmail.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
205.142.28.17 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 553 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... this site does not relay
Giving up on 205.142.28.17.
_________________________________________________
abc.com is my domain with a fixed IP and 205.142.28.17 is the mail server
of my upstream provider. N.B. Domain names are changed for privacy purpose
but assume that user xyz exist in domain abc.com
MX entries in there at DNS server of service provider for mail.abc.com
with preference 10 and preference 30 for 205.142.28.17 ( my service
provider) . mail is the name of my host.
>From some other host, if I try /usr/lib/sendmail -t -v to send a mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] it gives error saying :
___________________________________________________
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Connecting to mail.abc.com. via esmtp...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Deferred: Connection refused by mail.abc.com
___________________________________________________
Looks like my server is not accepting the SMTP connection and thus try for
my service provider ( 205.142.28.17) whose preference is 30.. as in the case
of the hotmail error message.
Is the problem with my service provider or my server. Does my server need to
relay to recieve mails. How do you make a linux server relay ? My server is
definetly running sendmail at port 25 as deamon .
Can anybody tell me whats happening ????
