Was told to add this to my .fetchmailrc file: with mda /usr/bin/procmail -d %T ... and now it works. Or seems to. But I must know: WHY does it work? And is procmail REPLACING exim, or some other part of the quilt? How to sort out sendmail/exim/procmail/fetchmail and the slew of names ... Hmmm. ROFL. This is how I think the scheme works. Sendmail and Exim are what are known as MTA's (mail transport agents) . One can choose sendmail or exim to do the same thing. So no, procmail is not replacing exim. Actually procmail is not really needed but is nice to have as a way of doing what the name implies , processing mail. In my case (I use procmail as well) it acts as a go between Exim and fetchmail. Procmail is actually quite versatile and can be used as an mda (mail delivery agent ) and the like... The -d arg is a recipient flag. Don't know what the %T does exactly wrt recpient. Now I'd like to know about that one. Fetchmail is best described as a program which retrieves your mail off of your ISP's mail server. If you're really into fetchmail , goto http://www.tuxedo.org/%7Eesr/fetchmail/fetchmail%2DFAQ.html Lots of stuff about mutt there also. And I think your error message was due to using localhost which may be 127.0.0.1 (sort of the network equivalent of /dev/null) I had to use /usr/etc/route add -host host.infected.codered.com gw 127.0.0.1 to keep my webserver logs from filling up a while back... I crave me some clarity. Gotta go read some manpages. Yuppers, I think I could spend a lifetime trying to learn all there is to know about email.

Hi,
... essentially, I'm floundering here, because at base I'm not sure WHAT
eximconfig option to choose at the outset. I have a DSL connection but it
seems like eximconfig option (2) (Internet site using smarthost) is the
closest (since after all I've been getting mail by ssh-ing in to the
account), but I don't know what to list as the smarthost ... would it
be mail.burningclown.com?
Howdy ,
Yeah, nice to know exim is lots fun for others. I have the same set-up
as you, static DSL. I'll attach my exim.config/fetchmailrc files as I had to
hack this sucker up to get what I wanted:
1. local mail from cron and such to not go to my ISP's mail server.
(I managed to make this happen once, not a good thing(tm).
2. Outbound mail to not look like spam on mailing lists and thusly and
rightly get bounced.
3. If you have a firewall, you may wish to make sure you're not blocking
your ISP's pop server. Allow pop3.myisp.com access to your box's 110
port. My ISP does not play nice if I don't do this. And u of course
allow yourself access to their pop3 server.
4. I'll also attach the /etc/email-addresses as well. I think exim
uses this to sort out the local users vs. ISP user name.
In the exim.conf I've attached , make sure to fix up the local_domain
and host_accept_relay to suit your box. I think you want localhost :
and then your static IP for the www.xxx.yyy.zzz. And oh yeah, the
route_list should be your smtp mail server in the smarthost section.

It looks like some people have complaints about it, but if you plow through the hits you'll find some folks that say they've gotten it working. Best of luck---jbf Jeff, Bruce is correct here. Just curious, do you have the box handy which the card came in?. You can get the model number off of that or by looking at the card itself. My cards also came with a floppy called Drivers and Diagnostic Disk. It has Micro~s??t DOS on it but if you mount it up , you may find some Linux drivers. All of mine did. I have the FA311 drivers on my floppy btw and can send them to you offlist if these are the ones you need and for some reason you can't get them off your floppy. (I'd check your floppy first of course.) The exact model I have is Netgear FA311 REV-A1. I also have the other models as well. Jeff, here is another gotcha you may want to watch for when compiling your own drivers. Go to /usr/doc/kernel-source-? and look at the README.header.gz. There is a big messy issue with kernel headers wrt to /usr/include/asm and /usr/include/linux. I do know form personal experience that compiling with /usr/include/linux and the /usr/src/linux headers makes nonfunctional drivers. Some vendors tend to make assumptions which aren't valid at present. Good luck, 15 hours to get a device to work is a real pain. Been there, done that. (: --- Cliff

If the routing is OK, then yes, the cable could be bad or even one of the cards, I suppose. If this has never worked, are you using a crossover cable?

Info sources for Programming
I'm fairly new to the Linux scene and have found a nifty program on the net I'd like to build called GRASS. I'm running potato with a kernel of 2.2.12 and have what I think is all of the programming libraries and such. However when I did a build on GRASS 4.3 , I got the following at link time. I have programmed GIS programs before and would like to start using this one. OBJ.i386/main.o: In function `main': OBJ.i386/main.o(.text+0x246): undefined reference to `clear_input' OBJ.i386/gis_pars.o: In function `yyparse': OBJ.i386/gis_pars.o(.text+0x1cd): undefined reference to `yylex' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [/mnt/grass4.3/i386/etc/r.combine] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mnt/grass4.3/src/raster/r.combine/cmd' make: *** [all] Error 1 GISGEN failure at STEP: src/raster/r.combine OK, I did a man and info on yylex and clear_input and got nothing. Is there a reference somewhere that I can find out what these are so I can 1. download the appropriate libraries, or 2, edit the source and use newer function calls if they are obsolete. (Hope this is a proper query for this board) Thanks -- Cliff

Except for a minor problem whith a package it all worked out well, I thought... After upgrading I decided to listen to some mp3 and then my problems startet. First I had to learn that you are no longer able to set parameters in modules.conf. After outcommenting those modprobe worked again. Next I found out that somehow the irq had been set to 7 and not 5 as before. Loading the module whith isapnp.conf didn't work either. It just didn't matter. So I decided to try modconf. After that at modprobe -c showed: options sb io=0x220 irq=5 dma=1 dma16=5 mpu_io=0x330 which is correct for my AWE64 card. Well when I load the module and afterwards start mpg123 dmesg will (still) show me: Sound: DMA (output) timed out - IRQ/DRQ config error? furthermore when I try to do a 'cat /dev/sndstat' I get cat: /dev/sndstat: No such device 'ls -la /dev/sndstat' shows crw-rw1 root audio 14, 6 Aug 6 15:48 /dev/sndstat Hi Sven, I'm a newbie, so you may want to take this with a grain of salt. I also have an AWE 64 card and I've had better luck with potato than I ever did with slink. I think there is a sound HOWTO on www.linux.org that I used which worked real well. I'll just go over the highlights and what optios I chose. Some details, I'm running the 2.2.12 kernel and when I did my apt-get session I made sure I got the awe-drivers and such. I think I still had the to run the install.sh in my /usr/src/awedrv directory. I'll include my .config file for you. Hope this helps. I've found the folks here most helpful in getting my stuff to go, so thanks everyone. --- /usr/src/linux/.config: # # # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # # # Code maturity level options # CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL=y # # Processor type and features # # CONFIG_M386 is not set # CONFIG_M486 is not set CONFIG_M586=y # CONFIG_M586TSC is not set # CONFIG_M686 is not set CONFIG_X86_WP_WORKS_OK=y CONFIG_X86_INVLPG=y CONFIG_X86_BSWAP=y CONFIG_X86_POPAD_OK=y CONFIG_1GB=y # CONFIG_2GB is not set # CONFIG_MATH_EMULATION is not set # CONFIG_MTRR is not set CONFIG_SMP=y # # Loadable module support # CONFIG_MODULES=y # CONFIG_MODVERSIONS is not set CONFIG_KMOD=y # # General setup # CONFIG_NET=y CONFIG_PCI=y # CONFIG_PCI_GOBIOS is not set # CONFIG_PCI_GODIRECT is not set CONFIG_PCI_GOANY=y CONFIG_PCI_BIOS=y CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT=y CONFIG_PCI_QUIRKS=y # CONFIG_PCI_OPTIMIZE is not set CONFIG_PCI_OLD_PROC=y # CONFIG_MCA is not set # CONFIG_VISWS is not set CONFIG_X86_IO_APIC=y CONFIG_X86_LOCAL_APIC=y CONFIG_SYSVIPC=y # CONFIG_BSD_PROCESS_ACCT is not set CONFIG_SYSCTL=y CONFIG_BINFMT_AOUT=y CONFIG_BINFMT_ELF=y CONFIG_BINFMT_MISC=y # CONFIG_BINFMT_JAVA is not set # CONFIG_PARPORT is not set # CONFIG_APM is not set # # Plug and Play support # CONFIG_PNP=y # # Block devices # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_FD=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE=y # # Please see Documentation/ide.txt for help/info on IDE drives # # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD_IDE is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDISK=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDECD=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDETAPE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEFLOPPY is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDESCSI=m CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD640_ENHANCED is not set CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RZ1000=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEPCI=y CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDEDMA=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OFFBOARD is not set CONFIG_IDEDMA_AUTO=y # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_OPTI621 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_TRM290 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NS87415 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_VIA82C586 is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_CMD646 is not set # CONFIG_IDE_CHIPSETS is not set # # Additional Block Devices # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_NBD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_MD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_XD is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DAC960 is not set CONFIG_PARIDE_PARPORT=y # CONFIG_PARIDE is not set # CONFIG_BLK_CPQ_DA is not set # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_HD is not set # # Networking options # CONFIG_PACKET=y # CONFIG_NETLINK is not set # CONFIG_FIREWALL is not set # CONFIG_FILTER is not set CONFIG_UNIX=y CONFIG_INET=y # CONFIG_IP_MULTICAST is not set # CONFIG_IP_ADVANCED_ROUTER is not set # CONFIG_IP_PNP is not set # CONFIG_IP_ROUTER is not set # CONFIG_NET_IPIP is not set # CONFIG_NET_IPGRE is not set # CONFIG_IP_ALIAS is not set # CONFIG_SYN_COOKIES is not set # # (it is safe to leave these untouched) # # CONFIG_INET_RARP is not set CONFIG_SKB_LARGE=y # CONFIG_IPV6 is not set # # # # CONFIG_IPX is not set # CONFIG_ATALK is not set # CONFIG_X25 is not set # CONFIG_LAPB is not set # CONFIG_BRIDGE is not set # CONFIG_LLC is not set # CONFIG_ECONET is not set # CONFIG_WAN_ROUTER is not set # CONFIG_NET_FASTROUTE is not set # CONFIG_NET_HW_FLOWCONTROL is not set # CONFIG_CPU_IS_SLOW is not set # # QoS and/or fair queueing # # CONFIG_NET_SCHED is not set # # SCSI support # CONFIG_SCSI=y # # SCSI support type (disk, tape, CD-ROM) # # CONFIG_BLK_DEV_SD

Others on the list have enumerated other ways and how to reinstall the MBR. I've messed up and had to do this myself since I forgot to include dos in my lilo.conf file. Typical newbie boo-boo. What I did is I did save a copy of the MBR in Debian and did a dd command. (This is a bit risky and there is some info in on this website on how to do this. ) Don't recall offhand where.

Unless you are sure you have 4096k. otherwise, I'd suggest trying the latest kernel (2.2.13), or at least a newer one that comes with 0.4.3 Awe drivers built-in. Probably not related, your isapnp.conf settings look OK but I had to put a line (VERIFYLD N) above the readport part at the top. ***Ah, having read your dmesg output (properly, this time!), I think I can see what the problem is. You've compiled the AWE driver straight in to the kernel. For an isapnp card, you have to do ALL of the sound stuff as modules - including the low-level one and the Awe driver. Then run modconf to load them, passing the correct parameters to each (only sb and opl3 modules need parameters). Tacking on the Awe driver to the 2.0.whatever kernel that comes with Debian is not ideal, get the latest kernel and use it. Jonathan. -- Thanks for the help. I went and looked at the potato dist. It has the raplayer and such as well. I need those as well. So. I'm downloading the dist at present and will install it where I used to have Redhat.
