Hi folks,
my problem is the following:
I am connected to the internet using a dsl line, I use a dynamic dns
server and now I want to setup my very own email account on the dynamic
domain using sendmail. So far so good, it works already but to make my
host use the domain name provided by the dynamic ip provider I modified
sendmail.cf directly which to does not seem to be the right way to do it
..
Setting the FROM_HEADER variable in sendmail.rc.config seemed to be the
right way but it only sets some masquerading flags in sendmail.cf and
that doesn't seem to work at all. Then there seems to be another way -
by editing and processing /etc/mail/linux.mc but none of thes files and
formats seem to be documented..
So what is actually the propper way to do it ?
Thanks in advance
Thomas

just make your linux box a dns server. for simple dns caching, install the
bind8 rpm's (or get the tarball and install that) and start up named. point
all machines to use the linux box as their dns server. if you want to setup
dns for you small lan, create some zone files and put references to them in
/etc/named.conf and then you can get rid of the /etc/hosts files. check out
the dns how-to on linuxdoc.org and look on linuxgazette.com for a
home-dns-howto (go back to around nov 99). both of those are what got me
started with dns.

I think what you need here would be squid and diald along with some
ipchains/iptables rules. I know apache can be used as a proxy but squid is
easier and diald is what your server uses to connect when a pc on the lan
needs and outside ip.

May be, artists pay less in taxes. So if a really 'hot' artist puts out
a CD that sells millions, he makes millions. But since there must be
people burning his CD, he pays less tax on the millions that he earns
from his sales .... ? Thats just a wild guess of mine... :)

It was of course a typo, but I made a much worse error - the fstab was

After mounting hda3 to /mnt I get

Yes I did, same result.
I have now tried the installation on another old pentium computer (IBM
P330) also with only 32 MB RAM. The reboot during installation halts
at the same point.
Installation on my laptop (256 MB) and a desktop (192MB) has been
smooth with no problems. Could it be something with insufficient
memory? Installation is in text mode on the two small computers, but
graphical on those that succeded.

Subject: Connection Problems with RH7.1
Date: Fri, 1 Jun 2001 15:02:54 -0500
Hello,
I recently installed Redhat 7.1 in hopes of setting up a IMAP server.
Install went fine, but afterwards I am unable to remotely connect to any
services. While I can ping the machine, I am unable to establish a ftp,
telnet, imap, or any other connection.
I've checked both hosts.allow and .deny with no luck. My xinetd is all in
sound shape. I've run out of options here. I had a 7.0 mail server that
ran great. Is there something in 7.1 that I need to change? I've never
seen this problem before with linux.
Thanks,
Luke Harms

Subject: slow dotclock with ET4000w32p
Date: 1 Jun 2001 20:12:01 GMT
Hello, I am trying to set up video configuration with an ET4000w32p PCI
card with 1 MB memory. The modeline I want to use is 800x600 with vert
72 Hz, horiz 48 kHz and dotclock 50 MHz. This works OK with 8 bit color,
but if I ask for 16 bit color, startx reports Maximum dotclock frequency
45.000 MHz (vs. 86 MHz in 8 bit), so the 72 Hz mode is deleted and it
reverts to a 56 Hz mode (the flicker is just terrible!). I don't have
specs on this particular card, but I see specs on other 1 MB w32p cards
and they boast up to 90Hz at 800x600 and 16 bit color. Why can't I get
72 Hz?
Thanks, Larry

It is mainly the record companies, not the artists, who are concerned
about home taping and who are willing to spend money to lobby for silly
laws to protect their profits. So I think it is obvious that that
record companies split the take from the tax and don't bother giving
any of it to artists.
I hope I'm wrong, but am not betting on it.

Try these install images for the 440GX chipset located here, instructions

Date: 1 Jun 2001 14:01:21 -0700
That is actually the configuration I had, but I changed it following
the suggestions for cdrecord at:
http://www.fokus.gmd.de/research/cc/glone/employees/joerg.schilling/private/man/README/README.ATAPI
After I swaped my cdrom writer to be a slave on ide0, I got the dma
error.
According to the above mentioned document, I cannot copy from CD to CD
if the CDR and CD Writer are on the same IDE interface.
Now the question is which is the lesser evil, lose performance on the
hard drive or not being able to copy from CD to CD.
Since my first hard drive has only a Win 98 partition, I would rather
lose performance on it and be able to copy from CD to CD.

Hi,
As PHPGW 0.9.9 wouldn't get further than building the header.inc.php
file, I d'loaded the latest and greates (0.9.10), which does go
further. The DB and tables are created, but when I try to login as
demo/1234 (per doc), the login.php script redirects me from
http://locallhost/phpgroupware/login.php to
http://www.domain.com/phpgroupware/login.php.
login.php mentions "webserver_url", which is nowhere to be found in
the setup procedure.
Any idea?

You may be able to install NT or 2K to /dev/hdb, but if they are similar to
98, 98SE and ME, your best solution would be to remove the Linux drive,
make the 2d drive a Master and connect it to the primary controller as
master. Do the install. Then after the install, switch the drive back to
Slave and put the Linux drive back into the box. Edit /etc/lilo.conf and
add:
other = /dev/hdb1
label = dos
table = /dev/hdb
map-drive = 0x80
to = 0x81
map-drive = 0x81
to = 0x80
Run /sbin/lilo and reboot. You should be able to boot into Linux or
Windows.

Looks like you are trying to use legacy hardware. Something which doesn't
support ATA-66 or -100. Go into BIOS and set that drive up for PIO-4
instead of DMA.

Well, obviously, you have to put them in a directory listed in your
ld.so.conf file, and run ldconfig. Or you can use LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in your scripts to point at their directory for a givern executable.

Then you will have to make it a VFAT partition because without added
software, Windoze will not read a Linux ext2fs partition. Furthermore, you
will have to make it a logical partition so that Windoze can see it as D:.
