I reinstalled Mandrake 7.0 after (ashamed to admit this) i missed up and
accidentally erased a lot of my binaries and some config files. Now with
the new installation i am having some problems.

1 - when trying to send an email with the mail command i got the message ::
 "/etc/sendmail.cf: line 0: cannot open: No such file or directory"
so i went and checked, sure enough, there is no file there. I then went
back to the mandrake cd and tried :: "rpm -Uv sendmail-*" which responded
with the reply "sendmail conflicts with postfix-19991231-3mdk" anyone got
any ideas on how i can get this one fixed?

2 - I am now no longer able to telnet or ftp in to my computer either via
localhost or from another machine on my lan or over the Internet. trying
telnet localhost, telnet 127.0.0.1, etc all result in "telnet: Unable to
connect to remote host: Connection refused" ftp localhost gives "ftp:
connect: Connection refused" I am able to masq through this Linux box with
a comp running win98 for http access. Meaning that i can go to my win
machine and tell netscape on it to go to www.mandrake.com and it will
bring the page up and that all works fine. I can even access the default
web page for apache from my win machine with "http://192.168.0.1" Also
telnet and ftp work fine for going out. just when i try to connect in does
it refuse it


Many Thanks in advance,
