RE: Novell NDS certification for Internet access

I'm told, by those more knowledgeable in these matters, that it lets people trough only if thet are logged in and can be certified as having Internet access against Novell's NDS (yes, this is a Novell network). Of course, no one can figure out how to let our Debian machine trough without explicitly excempting it's IP from the restrictions of the firewall. Needless to say, that prefer not to do that. My questions shows clearly that networks, and Novell in particular, isn't my strong side, so please forgive my ignorance if these sound stupid: Is there something like a Novell Client available for Debian, or Linux at all, except for the one from Caldera which you have to pay for?

RE: multithreading sounds
I don't have this problem, I can play multiple wav, mp3 etc. simultaneously.

When I was still using RedHat Linux, I remember that it was possible to multithread the sounds (playing multiple sound files is possible, as threads are instantiated to use the sound device). As I upgraded my machine and motherboard and switched to Debian, I can't anymore multithread the sound. Playing one sound file locks the sound card device solely for the requesting process. Question: how do I fix this, to enable multiple processes requesting the sound device to multi-thread? Or is it outside Linux already? I'm really interested to find out since I'll be using my machine for a multi-media demo, specifically playing Xinerama, Xtheater and XMMS concurrently, without any of these applications to be treated as a heavy-weight process, effectively locking the sound device to any of them. I suspect also that if it is not the OS, then it might be the BIOS that is the culprit. Does IRQ sharing have anything to do with this? I noticed also that my same setup doesn't play the sounds in Windows (it mentions that the sound card is in use though there is no user process requesting it). Any enlightenment would be appreciated (as well as will give me enough time to re-hack BIOS or send my box to the repair shop before the demo on Tuesday). Thanks!

RE: new to the list - sendmailcf
You do not need sendmail for this - pine probably does require an MTA installed on the system you're using, but all you need is ssmtp, which a believe is available for slink. ssmtp is a simple MTA (send only) which just passes mail from your machine to a relay on the internet. It is much better to use this over something like exim or sendmail if all you need is a send only MTA to satisfy a program like pine or mutt or elm. Alternate: you could log in to the mail server and read your mail there. -Original Message- From: madhombre [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 21, 2001 10:54 AM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: new to the list - sendmailcf please let me know if I do anything wrong, I am new to this list and quite new to list sin gerneral.

Hi all, I've come across this crazy problem and I hope someone knows what's going on. I am using kernel-level NFS. Debian unstable. 2.4.14. I have exported / I can mount the remote filesystem on my client machine no problem. But if I try to change to a remote symlinked directory I get, for example: bash: cd: backup2: No such file or directory Because that directory doesn't exist on my _local_ machine. If I cd backup I am changed into the directory on my local machine (because it exists). Not only is this surreal but it's dangerous if I think I'm in the directory of a remote computer when I'm actually in a local one. I haven't turned up this problem through searching for a solution. The mount package version is 2.11m-1. To date I've always avoided NFS and used Samba so I'm inexperienced at this. Samba can't provide the remote file permissions I wish to also store for backup purposes. Thanks, Adam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hello: I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this type of question. If not, I apologize. I'm just starting with Debian and want to use it to run a fax and print service in our location on a P90 machine with Debian 2.2r3 loaded. I've loaded efax 0.9-4 from the Debian web site (I couldn't find it on the CDs I have) and configured it to run and attach to /dev/ttyS1. I can get efax to send faxes and print TIFF files, but not receive faxes. I've tried two modems (USR Sportster, USR Courier) and have gotten slightly different results. In both cases, efax will answer the incoming call, and will successfully retrieve the originating fax's ID and phone number, but the session fails when it tries to receive the document.

The author suggested trying manual receive (same results) and checking to make sure that all programs accessing the serial port use the same files for locking (I'm pretty sure efax is the only one accessing the serial port: mouse is the only other serial peripheral I know of, and its on its own PS/2-style port). At this point I'm fairly certain that efax is set up basically correctly, but I'm not sure about what else may or may not be trying to lock the serial port, or how I can test my modem(s) to make sure they're properly configured. One web page (the Fax-Server mini-HOWTO) mentions a fax test script, but trying the command it suggests isn't recognized on my system.
