Re: ping: sendto: Operation not permitted
IP masquerading is compiled into the stock 2.0.34 hamm kernel and works just fine for me. Remember to install the ip masq ftp module so that ftp works right behind the firewall. I too installled the ipmasq package and ended up removing it. It would probably be a nice, useful package if there were any docs at all for it. You dont need this package to do ip masquerading. Im barely knowlegable enough to get ip masqing working on my own system, so instead of offering specific advice, I refer you to the How-To and the ipfwadm man page.

Re: Debian and IP Chains?
doing some firewalling. I'm running 2.1.104 on my gateway, and I've played with ipfwcahins some. ipchains :) 2) Can someone share a recipe to allow incoming/outgoing ssh traffic. I First, you have to allow traffic into the firewall: # Any packets coming from your internal network is good ipchains -A input -i eth0 -j ACCEPT # next allow ssh port 22 through the ppp0 port ipchains -A input -d external-ip-of-firewall 22 -j ACCEPT That's it. You put both commands in your ppp-up script. I did this successfully. In the ppp-in script there is a macro name for the ip address of the ppp0 port, and you put that variable ($ipaddr ???) in place of the external-ip-of-firewall and you are in good shape. Then, in your ppp-down batch file, you put one command: # kill the PPP0 port from a firewall standpoint ipchains -A input -i ppp0 -j DENY This ensures when you re-connect to the internet, or dial up server, the firewall commands have been cleared and not duplicated. Otherwise if you dial up, lose connect, and repeat 20 times (lousy ISP G), you end up with a giant firewall table that doesn't do much. Just slows Linux down unnecessarily. Hope that helps.

Re: exmh
I've installed it, and it looks realy cool, but it doesn't fetch my mail. I told it the name of the mail server at my ISP, but it never asked for a password and I don't see anywhere in all those bazillion configuration options where to specify it. Also, I've written a perl to check my maibox using pop3, but all that the configuration mentioned was smtp. Might this be a problem? This message is coming to you via good old netscape. exmh, like so many things in Linux, can be configured in many ways. I think the typical way to configure exmh is to have your sendmail replacement (smail, exim, ..) deliver your mail if you have a direct internet connection, or a mail delivery agent like fetchmail retrieve your mail if you're using dialup internet access. In either scenario, all exmh does is check your inbox. It doesn't retrieve messages. I think there are ways to get exmh to do this, but I don't think that is native to exmh (though I could be wrong). You should be aware that exmh is a front end (gui) for MH (or nmh, an MH almost drop-in replacement). So, you may have to configure MH a little bit as well, I know I did. That was a little bit tricky (man -k mh, and you'll see what I mean), but I still like exmh. You might also be interested to know that while MH can deliver directly to your isp's smarthost, if you have dialup internet access, that the typical configuration is to have MH pass that duty along to your sendmail replacement (smail, exim, ..). So, you see that configuring exmh might take some time and a little effort. Since I'm in the middle of exorcising the devil from sendmail, I'm probably not the best candidate to aid in this at the moment, however there's a lot of exmh help in the FAQ (built into the exmh menu), as well as at the exmh website, in the exmh mailling list archives (not as active as the debian-user list, much easier to peruse and search) and the exmh mailing list is very helpful. As I mentioned, email isn't a strong area for me, but if you don't mind a delayed response and you have any questions, let me know. David --

Hi, We have just installed the hamm on a new PC to make it an e-mail server. We have installed it via ftp from a local mirror. Because of my previous experience with exim, I have chosed it as our MTA. However, it failed to accept any SMTP connection from outside. Because of this, no mail was received and M$ Windows clients with accounts on the server couldn't send mails using the SMTP (service time out). The POP3 server (qpoper) worked well however.

Which log do I look in for this, or does a kernel panic get logged? how do i figure out what happened? When X freezes, there's no a priori reason why anything should be logged. The rest of the machine should be running normally, and the best course of action is to telnet in through the network or a serial line and kill the X session (using startx it'll be an xinit process). On the other hand, kernel panics are different and may or may not be logged, depending on whether it's safe. It will normally tell you if the disks have not been synced (though I've only witnessed that on a VC, not in X), in which case you might as well cycle the power.

[HELP/ADVICES NEEDED] Problems w/ my HD
Hello, I'm running Debian GNU/Linux at home. I've overclocked my box a few days ago by increasing the bus frequency. The problem I have is the messages printed at boot time. Forgotten to take the messages but they're of the form status=0x.. and error=0x... I've also noticed that the HD activity LED stays on even if no request is performed on the HD. Note that, the system have been stable for 4days and so (and I've almost forgotten this trouble untill I reboot today). Thanx in advance for your help and advices, Max
Re: reading debian-user-digest with kmail

The problem is that kmail is pretty poor at parsing messages. The curtailment problem is because it gets confused whenever it meets a MIME intro line and so the user doesn't get to see any of the rest of the digest. If anyone knows of a cheap fix then I can run a perl script to 'fix' digests that contain MIME lines. I use fetchmail to retrieve email from my ISP's pop server, then I use procmail, which is able to break up the digest into individual messages and save them in a mail folder.

Re: PPP via Minicom

Cheers, Joost Hi Joost, Thanx a lot for your quick answer. The motherbord is an ASUS-P2B one. It should therefore be able to run with a bus frequency greater than 100MHz. The processor i've overcloched is a __protected__ PII 233 with a fixed 3.5x factor. The bus frequency is actually 83Mhz. So everything should be fine ? No ? The HD is an U/DMA HD. Going home soon. Maybe I've disturbed some branching. Don't think so, but ..! Or should I change some drivers parameters ? I know about the hdparm utility but don't want to use it: I'm far from being familiar with hardware related stuff. Thanx again, Max P.S. I've overclocked cause this, as expected, improves the execution time of heavy numerical program I have. Ciao !

3com 3c905b support in Hamm
Hi, Cards recognised by Hamm? I am about to get Hamm installed on 4 PC's. I have been checking out the hardware for Linux compatability by starting the installation of a RedHat 5.0 CD (my Installer arrives on Tuesday with the Debian CD and I want to be sure everything is going to be ready). Currently I have as many different network cards as PC's. Two are recognised by RH 5.0 two are not. The ones that are NOT recognised by RH5.0 are a Intel EtherExpress Pro 100/B and a 3Com 3c905b-tx Fast Etherlink XL PCI 10/100base-tx. Are these going to be recognised / work with Hamm? What confuses me is that a slightly older 3com 3c905 tx (ie not the b) is recognised by RH5.0 but as a 3c59x (Vortex). Thanks Dave PS When I say recognised by RH5.0 is means I start the installation, at the point of FDISK I jump to the menu and choose network configuration. With the working PCI card the installation just shows me it's name and goes straight to the setting of IP address etc. With the other cards I get a menu of supported cards, when I choose what I think is the correct one I get the change to autoprobe but it never finds the card. I realise a) Hamm installation is completely different and b) it may be possible to get these cards to work by setting some parameters manually. So what I really need to know is a) will Hamm support these cards automatically or if not can I get them to work with some manual parameter setting. Dave Warnock Sundayta Ltd www.sundayta.co.uk

Another thing you could do would be to tell the NT user not to use the root account for sending mail ;-) I have asked arround, and it's the NT MTA that's setting the Sender field to Sender: root@. The user swears he's sending the mail from a regular account using Netscape Mail. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try it. Digging into the manual, I found this: SmartList usually does not accept submissions or subscriptions from daemons. If you'd like to make an exception for some, you can do this by tuning the daemon_bias variable. A sample template can be found in the rc.init file. This variable can of course be set in the rc.init, rc.custom or rc.local files. Instead of directly specifying a weight and a regexp, you can just specify a weight. You'll then have to make sure that the variable is set only when mail from your special daemons arrives. The scary regexp that procmail uses to decide that something is coming from a daemon (FROM_DAEMON) includes a test to catch Sender:.*root. I want to keep all the tests but this one. What I can't find now is a reference to weighting in the procmail manpages. How's the weight suppossed to work? daemon_bias = 0 Sender:.*root ^ What do I put here. A higher number to get the regexp recognized as a daemon or a lower number to get it NOT recognized as a daemon. Thanks again, Marcelo
