Why all the fuzz?Yuo use main.system.net as a fictive domainname. But you
have a registered domainname called mediaone. Then just change the whole
MAIN.SYSTEM.NET to mediaone.net.
You only need to change the DM line in /etc/sendmail.cf into:
DMmeduione.net (this makes sure that you get [EMAIL PROTECTED] instead
of [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
Now you have solved the problem that your clients don't need to change
their domains, since the are the local domain sendmail will deliver
directly and when they send to the outside world they have the right
domainname [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Its simple logic, since you are mediaone.net on the net but also internal
in your company eventhough your clients may not be connected to the
outside world on registered ip addresses.

Subject: tcpdump stealing packets?
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 19:13:05 GMT
I'm experiencing a very odd problem using
tcpdump. Last night I setup tcpdump to capture all
ip and icmp packets that arrive at my home PC.
I went to work this morning and tried to access the
computer via the net. No matter what I did I couldn't
get a response (ping, netscape, traceroute, telnet).
When I got home, tcpdump showed no network activity for
the last 20 hours. It had only captured 4 packets - they
arrived within minutes of my starting tcpdump. Nothing
else.
I killed tcpdump and instantly I could access my
home computer from the internet. Now here's the
strange part. I ran tcpdump again and tried to
access the computer. This time I got no response
from Apache, but all my requests showed up in the
tcpdump log file. Once I killed tcpdump again everything
worked fine.
This is what I have:
RH 6.0, Kernel 2.2.10, Custom build
3Com 3C590 Ethernet card
tcpdump-3.4-10
tcpdump -i eth0 ip or icmp > tcpdump.990915
Has anyone ever seen anything like this before?

Subject: Re: Linux, NFS, and SAMBA
Date: 16 Sep 1999 20:12:23 GMT
I give up. What's the secret? :-)
Our Linux machine has an NT share mounted at, say,
"/mnt/server/dir1/export".
The Linux machine has "/mnt/server/dir1" exported, which is mounted by the
HP-UX system, at (say) "/mnt/linux".
When I log onto the HP system, I can do the usual stuff (create, delete,
look at files; create & delete directories) for stuff under "/mnt/linux".
All is well. However, if I try to do anything with "/mnt/linux/export"
(which maps to the NT server), I get weird errors. An "ls -l" will complain
about particular files not being found. If I try to "ls -l" for a
particular directory which does exist, I sometimes get complaints about the
directory not existing; sometimes it says the directory is okay, but spits
out the error "<file> not found" for each file in the directory.
Similar results happen if Linux re-exports the actual NT mount point,
rather than a parent directory.
There are no errors reported in the SAMBA logs. NFS (on Linux) is logging
some very cryptic error messages.
Do you have any suggestions?

I would have to agree, although I have tried recompiling the kernel and
have not had any luck. I tried the card in windows and it worked okay,
although every two mins or so, windows "locked" up for about 3 secs and
then resumed. (i.e. mouse, screen refresh, everything would just hang)
It may be my card. I also have a 3Com card, and although expensive they
seem to run faster and cleaner.
If anyone has got there Linksys card to work (the one with wake up on LAN
support) please write me with some info. Also, although I am doing this
backwards, has anyone networked linux through windows running a proxy
server?

Actually, I'm looking for any insight into http-gw to support either

Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 13:26:00 -0700
Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I have spent too many hours on this, so I hope someone can help. I'm
exporting the CD-ROM on a Linux box (call it "rh" since it runs RedHat
6) to an HP-UX system ("hp") and a Caldera 1.0 486 ("caldera").
"caldera" can mount and read the "rh" /cdrom just fine. If I "mount
rh:/cdrom /cdrom2" on "hp", it succeeds, as in there are no errors on
"hp" and /var/log/messages on "rh" reports a successful mount. But I
can't see anything; "ls /cdrom2" on "hp" returns nothing (no error, but
also no files). The same setup worked fine when "rh" was at RedHat 5.2.
Worse yet, even after "unmount /cdrom2" on "hp", I can't "unmount
/cdrom" on "rh" unless I shut down the daemons first with
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop", as if nfsd still had a lock on rh:/cdrom
even after the unmount on hp.
Are these known problems? Are there fixes? Should I drop back to RH
5.2?

Hi,
for now i have no cable to connect the ethernet port of my sparcbook,

Now if i run ifconfig sl0, there's an alarming rate of TX and
RX overruns, and i just can't believe that. I looked in dejaNews,
and people suggested in the past, that this were the just an indicator
for compressed headers. Is that true? I also believe that
the performance is pretty bad - i get only around 2k/s
on a 38400bps link so this would be an indicator for some overruns...
I have the MTU the same on both sides. What more is there to do.
Oh, yes the SparcBook runs Solaris 2.5.1, if that matters.

Pozdrav.
The best thing you do is to get all computers on 10baseT and buy 8-port hub.
It will cost some more money than other solutions, but UTP cables are much
more reliable and secure than coax. (if one segment of cable goes to hell,
network will still be working. With Coax, if one part is down, all network
is down. And with 4 or more computers you will have quite a lot of work to
find out where the problem is )

Subject: IP Forwarding based on hostname
Date: Thu, 16 Sep 1999 15:54:53 -0700
I have a question regarding ipchains and ipmasqadm.
Is it possible to forward requests based on hostname to an internal
webserver?
w1.domain.com 80 (ip is external interface of firewall) ----> w1.domain.com
80 (internal ip address)
w2.domain.com 80 (ip is external interface of firewall) ----> w2.domain.com
80 (internal ip address)
The only solution that I could find so far is to use ipmasqadm mfw, but this
requires using different external ports. (Maybe I am missing something).
Any help or advice appreciated.
Thanks,
Erik

You'll need to set linux up as your primary web connection and run IP
Masquerade - do a search on deja.com for the location of the how to,
it's well written and will give you everything you need to know..
Good luck

Can anyone tell me if exim can -- and if so, how to -- rewrite my
outgoing From: header so that it doesn't have the host name in it? I
was, under sendmail, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. Now, under exim, I'm
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>. I need to get rid of the `anthony' or
change all my mailing list subscriptions (pain in the ***). Been
through the "documentation," but it's dense and long. I don't want to
become an expert in exim if I can help it.
Installed debian, that's what caused this annoyance.
Thanks for any help.
