Knoppix boot vs debian boot
Hi, long time Debian user, I often use Knoppix for rescue and test operations. There are things that makes the Knoppix boot lean and clean, e.g. the hardware autodetection, etc... But I don't have that on my unstable boxes. So I am wondering if it's a Knoppix special feature or if I don't have installed the required packages or configured them correctly.

apache2 upgrade broke wordpress install
Hi, I have a wordpress blog on an apache 1.3 powered sarge box. I am trying to upgrade to apache2 but some things don't work. In particular the wordpress (using php4) blog now return empty pages, while for example the bbclone statistics page still work. See http://www.coffeebreaks.org/~jerome/wordpress/index.php for the blog. Click on stats for the bbclone page. E.g. of an apache2 log from a browser reading my blog page: 193.212.132.34 - - [06/Oct/2004:11:35:26 +0200] GET /~jerome/wordpress/index.php HTTP/1.1 200 - - Mozilla/4.0 (comp atible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Maxthon; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Notice the empty 'size' field.

Of course nothing particular shows in the error logs.

Problem with exim / syncmail
I am trying to do the following: I have a domain name (coffeebreaks.org), and a server serving pages for that domain (coffeebreak). I've set up several tools on the machine, including syncmail, for CVS commit messages. Exim has been configured to send my email to my ISP, and I've changed the following: smarthost: driver = domainlist transport = remote_smtp route_list = * ISP.SMTP.SERVER byname #lookuphost: # driver = lookuphost # transport = remote_smtp Now I have 2 problems: - my local email is being sent to my SMTP server. This is probably a problem with hostname config. I can live with that for now, but would be happy if that could be fixed as well. Some info dnsdomainname coffeebreaks.org hostname coffeebreak Some relevant bits of the exim config: # this should perhaps be coffeebreak.coffeebreaks.org? qualify_domain = coffeebreaks.org # this should probably be localhost:coffeebreak.localnet local_domains = localhost:CoffeeBreak # host_lookup = * - syncmail emails are refused due to non existing originating domain: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SMTP error from remote mailer after MAIL FROM:[EMAIL PROTECTED] SIZE=2570: host ISP.SMTP.SERVER [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]: 553 5.1.8 [EMAIL PROTECTED]...

never arriving mails with exim4. Where to look for them?
I have finaly managed to set up my exim4 install on my server, it works almost OK. But some emails are never arriving to their destination!

port forwarding question: firewall or ssh?
Hi, a friend of mine has problems accessing a mail server from his company but he can access my server. I thought that I could enable port forwarding to solve his problem. E.g. D-S-MS He wants to access the mail server (MS) from his Desktop (D). My Server (S) is in the between. I open a port on my firewall, let's say 12345 and let the user forward the MS:25 port on that port. Note the MS server doesn't have ssh on. Then instead of reading mail from MS:25 he reads it from S:12345. Can I use port forwarding at the firewall level, or should I just use SSH to do so?
