yeah, I am sort of interested in that one myself. I spent ages getting my
server working as it currently is... I know some things are going to be a
hassle, like swapping PMfirewall to IPTables....
On another note,
In this list, it has been documented MANY times, that there is some serious
problems with the standard Sendmail with mdk 7.2, my question is this,, why
has Mandrake not released a patch or update for 7.2 that fixes the problem??
I fixed it myself on the last install, by installing the cooker version,
which worked, but was a massive hassle with dependencies and I don't want to
do it again.
I am one of those people that hate reinsalling but want the newest stuff...
So I will eventually upgrade to 8.0 or 8.1 when it arrives. but for now,
what I have works, I have all the updates loaded and except for Sendmail,
there are no serious issues that I am aware off.
anyway, whats the easiest method by which I can install a working problem
free install of Sendmail, and one which has no security or functionality
bugs,(at least none that have been found yet.)
I would change over to postfix, but I have a heap of perl scripts that go
looking for sendmail and i won't want to rewrite them if I can avoid them...
any suggestions anyone???
regards
Frank

Ah, okay. Your subject line implied a downgrade from 8 to 7.2 ...
Upgrading will rewrite lilo.cnf, but you get presented the entries in it
before it is
written. Let me know if you succeed in upgrading without further problems.

had all kinds of problems getting X to work.
