FetchMail Problem
I've searched through the FetchMail docs and I've only come up more unsure and, possibly, confused than I was before. I'm hoping you can help. I have a multi-drop mailbox at my ISP that I pull mail from. We have about 30 users on this end that mail from this box gets distrubuted to. Right now, I'm having problems with any mail that gets sent to multiple local recipients because the X-Envelope-To address contains the multi-drop mailbox address and not the names of the intended recipients. (Strangely enough, my ISP (running Exim 1.73) formats X-Envelope-To: properly when there's only one recipient) So, my questions are: 1. Can I have FetchMail look at To: to determine recipients rather than X-Envelope-To? (i.e. using envelope keyword) My reason for this question is that the To header may/will have addresses that are not local to my domain. Will FetchMail try to redirect mail to these non-local addresses as well? i.e. how can I have it only process the local domain? 2. The newer versions of Exim (1.80) will allow multiple addresses on the X-Envelope-To. Will FetchMail be able to handle multiple addresses in one header? (Of course, the answer to this one will determine whether 1) above works...) Thanks for any help/comments/info you can provide.

RAID5

Re: /dev/cua? and /dev/ttyS?
As I recall I tried using ttyS0 (I want to use ttyS0 not ttys0 right? I think the other one is a terminal port). At any rate, things never worked out for that one. Believe me, that was the first one that I tried, since that was what the PCMCIA-HOWTO recommended. As an aside, I don't nor have I ever used DOS, so your assumptions were wrong. Another reason why I chose /dev/cua1 was this paragraph in the PCMCIA-HOWTO which states 3.3 How do I use my PCMCIA modem card? Linux serial devices are accessed via the /dev/cua* and /dev/ttyS* special device files. The ttyS* devices are for incoming connections, such as directly connected terminals. The cua* devices are for outgoing connections, such as modems. The configuration of a serial device can be examined and modified with the setserial command. When a PCMCIA serial or modem card is detected, it will be assigned to the first available serial device slot. This will usually be /dev/cua1 or /dev/cua2, depending on the number of buil-in serial ports. Okay, so end quote. When I configured the pcmcia card daemon, cardmgr it refused to recognize my card (one high beep, then one low -- meaning card not configured). This problem was solved when I did a mknod /dev/cua1 and set the major and minor numbers. After that it worked, ... well ... after I changed a #define in the kernel code to point to the right I/O address and added some lines to the /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. In otherwords, it was a real hassel to get linux to recognize my modem and I stopped as soon as everything seemed to be working. Now, having had a chance to relax and fully use linux I've taken a look at my /var/run/stab file and see that it states Socket 0: Serial or Modem Card 0 serial serial_cs 0 ttyS1 4 So I see that I was choosing the wrong device, ttyS0 not ttyS1. This port seems to work fine, and I'm using it now. But I hope you can see my confusion, I was relying on the only documentation that I had. - John Kloss -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Cheap hardware for
I'm planning to build a new box in the next month or two. It'll sit between my 10Mbit ethernet line and my current machine. I need to use this (old) one to dual-boot to Win95 sometimes, but I've become dependent on linux to do email/web/etc., so I'll masquerade the Win95 machine through the new one with the ethernet hub I bought last month. Anyway, the new machine needs to be stable and reliable. I'm not concerned that it be terribly fast -- I want it to be a mailserver, apache server (for a _very_ low-demand site; around 10 hits a day), NFS server (so I can share home directories, etc.), and to be able to run X if neccessary, but I'm not planning to use it as a workstation except when my current machine's in Win95. I was thinking Pentium100-166, 64 megs of SDRAM, and SCSI would be a good way to go -- are there any relatively inexpensive motherboards with these sorts of reqs that someone might recommend? Also, I need a fairly cheap XFree86-compat graphics card. Doesn't need to be fancy or a speed deamon, but I'd like to be able to do 1280x1064 on occaison. If you have suggestions, I'd be appreciative. Thanks.

Firstly, does anyone know if it is possible for the jetdirect server to provide some sort of accounting?? Or at least restrict it to only recieve requests from a certain 'trusted' host?

Re: UPS again
Like a dummy, I bought a UPS without bothering to check if genpowerd supports it (I don't think it does). But before taking it back (I believe I have a week to do so and it's real stormy now, so I'm glad to have it anyway), I wanted to ask if anyone knew if I could do anything with it. I bought a MinuteMan 280 Pro UPS. It looks like it has smart features but does not come with a cable or software. It is made by Para Systems. Is there any Linux software that'll talk to this beast? As far as I know, the only package that supports any kind of smart signalling is the apcd package (for APC systems, of course). If your UPS has a dumb-signalling mode, then you can probably build a cable that genpower can drive. Beyond that, though, I can't help you.

Re: Question re: splitting files
Is there any way in Debian I can break files down to floppy size for archive purposes? Say I want to backup netscape so I don't have to go back and download it again if I do a complete re-install... How do I accomplish this? and how do I re-assemble the pieces to install the program? I usually just tar up the bunch of files that I want to archive, and then use split (ie, split -b1423k inputfilename outputfilenameprefix). To reassemble, just do a cat outputfilenameprefix* inputfilename, and run tar -xf inputfilename. I wouldn't mind finding out a better way that can be used with other OS' (including DOS and DOS-descended OS'). I use a program called chunker. It is available on Aminet (http://ftp.wustl.edu/~aminet/). The archive has AmigaDos, Unix, and MSDOS versions. You will need an lha archive extractor to unpack it. There are also several other splitting/joining utilities on this site. -Chris -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: FetchMail Problem
Kevin Traas wrote: I've searched through the FetchMail docs and I've only come up more unsure and, possibly, confused than I was before. I'm hoping you can help. I have a multi-drop mailbox at my ISP that I pull mail from. We have about 30 users on this end that mail from this box gets distrubuted to. Right now, I'm having problems with any mail that gets sent to multiple local recipients because the X-Envelope-To address contains the multi-drop mailbox address and not the names of the intended recipients. (Strangely enough, my ISP (running Exim 1.73) formats X-Envelope-To: properly when there's only one recipient) So, my questions are: 1. Can I have FetchMail look at To: to determine recipients rather than X-Envelope-To? (i.e. using envelope keyword) My reason for this question is that the To header may/will have addresses that are not local to my domain. Will FetchMail try to redirect mail to these non-local addresses as well? i.e. how can I have it only process the local domain? You can use the address in the To: header. If the address isn't local, the mail will go to the user running fetchmail. 2. The newer versions of Exim (1.80) will allow multiple addresses on the X-Envelope-To. Will FetchMail be able to handle multiple addresses in one header? (Of course, the answer to this one will determine whether 1) above works...)

.config options differ between dists
I asked a question recently about the differences in .config and thought that the difference related to kernel versions. But i've just had a look at another dists' /usr/src/linux/.config file which uses the same kernel version as me and it is different. The differences relate to the details of the sound options. It seems on my Deb system the sound options are stored elswhere but in the other dist they are all stored in the .config file.

I haven't used all of these programs, but the ones I've used are really good. sysv init editor user editor (w/ quota options) kdm configuration filesystem analyser + mount/unmount (intergraded with desktop) ppp (never used it, but it may have a configuration interface) full KDE configuration (kcontrol) bind configuration xvidtune replacement joystick setup lazer jet printing utility printer quene monitor pgp configuration tool ..of course KDE is still using QT... --- Paul Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED], finger for public PGP key On Fri, 6 Feb 1998, A.

I would make a guess and claim that there aren't too many people who migrate from Debian to another dist after using Debian for at least a couple of months. How true. I agree 100% with that statement. But could it be possible that Debian will support some sort of GUI admin. tool? just like Redhat's control panel. maybe someone could port this thing to Debian. This GUI admin tool has: 1. Printer Configurator.(easy to add printers locally, remote or using smb.) 2. Network Configurator.(adding virtual hosts and/or dialup to an ISP.) 3. Package Management. (sorta like a graphical dselect.) 4. Apache Configurator. (add virtual web hostings, etc.) 5. File System Configurator. (mount/unmounts filesystems and NFS.) 6. Runlevel Editor. (Edit the runlevels of the system.) 7. User group configurator. (Add,delete or lock users/groups.) 8. Time Machine. (Change the Time or Date Grahically.) Hell, it's so easy to dialup to an ISP using this thing, we could then elimanate maybe 20% of the topic here in debian-user mailing list about how to connect to an ISP. :) I think, that's one strength of Redhat compared to Debian. Webmin and Linuxconf has the same idea. Maybe we could tinker with it and start from there. Any Ideas? regards, == == Andre M.

Re: Matrox Millenum II under XFree86 [was: Which Linux distribution???]
I'm having a little trouble with configuring my card. I have the 250MHz type with 8 megs of ram.. anyhow, when I switch to another console and return, the screen is shifted about 5 and wrapped around the other side.. Also, the X doesn't fill the screen correctly -- squished vertically and too wide horizontailly... Any suggestions? I suggest that you try the newer MillII server at http://www.suse.de. Just replace your X server binary and run it, there should be fewer problems. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

FW: ppp troubles
-Original Message- From: Fulgham, Brent/SCO Sent: Friday, February 06, 1998 9:38 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: ppp troubles Is there anything unusual about using ppp-2.3.2 under hamm? I had a working ppp system under Red Hat 4.1. I had to remove that partition at one point, and I decided to reinstall using Debian (1.2). I immediately upgraded to hamm (without testing ppp) and have not been able to get a dial-up ISP connection to work. I have: 1. Compiled a custom kernel with ppp support. 2. Installed the ppp modules 3. Installed ppp-2.3.2 4. Configured my options, ppp-up, ppp-down, pap-secrets, etc. Initially, pppd would connect to the ISP, but would disconnect when pppd tried to get my ISP to authenticate itself to my system. I found that fix on the Debian FAQ-O-MATIC, and so I added the noauth tag to my options file. Now pppd disconnects because it reports that it times-out while waiting for a response from my ISP to a request from pppd for a config format. So, is there any new ppp information available? The FAQ/HOW-TO's don't seem to have information on configuring these options. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You download the tar.gz and netscape does a gunzip on the fly, so the file is transfered gziped but it will save it gunzipped. No Problem.

What is a block device, and how to get the cd recognised? It is a ATAPI drive, you just select IDE/ATAPI driver. For accessing the iso9660 filesystem on CDs, you need the isofs filesystem support. Also - I loaded the packages off the sunsite at imperial college; it turns out that the Latex I picked up had a 1 year-old bug in it (\noindent did not work inside a quote environment). Is there a way of telling whether that is generally a problem with the Debian 1.3.1 distribution, or just that that mirror had not been updated in that directory? The official debian latex package is tetex. Which packages did you d/l? Without the version of the package, we can't tell you more.

Re: boot/mount more info and 2 more questions

Even during boot, I see messeges about /boot.d... command not found (forgot to write that part down). And when I log in, even as root, I can't do much, because my paths are all but gone. No X, no pico, nothing... just ls, shutdown and a few others (that I've noticed). So, what could be wrong. The version that works just fine is when I take out the hda4 and hdb2 mounts. You have installed debian and then added the hda4 partition, right? So if you add this line, the hda4 partition will hide the contents of your previous /usr, so you can't access the files stored there. No big problem. You mount hda4 on /mnt and move the content of /usr to /mnt. Then you remount hda4 on /usr and are done. There are some foolproof methods to do this transfer which all escape me at the moment :-) Someone else will tell you what to do. Something with cp -a or tar and such. #2 This strange thing happened to me this morning when I booted to get the fstab info. It halted booting after these three lines: VFS: Mounted root (ext2 filesystem) read only INIT: verison 2.71 booting INIT: PANIC: segmentation violation! giving up... I never had a kernelpanic. Some flaw in Hardware maybe. The RAM, 133 MHz Prozessor running at 166 or such. #3 Though my X setup hasn't met with a lot of success, it at least loads up and I canget a few terms open.
