3com network drivers from scyld.com
Hi I'm trying to compile the latest 3com 905 drivers from scyld.com and I'm getting these errors. I'm using a fresh install of Debian 2.2 r3 sac99:~/bleh# gcc -DMODULE -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O6 -c 3c59x.c In file included from /usr/include/linux/string.h:37, from 3c59x.c:91: /usr/include/asm/string.h:46: parse error before `size_t' /usr/include/asm/string.h: In function `strncpy': /usr/include/asm/string.h:47: number of arguments doesn't match prototype /usr/include/linux/string.h:13: prototype declaration /usr/include/asm/string.h:61: `src' undeclared (first use in this function) /usr/include/asm/string.h:61: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once There are many more errors too.

Email forwarding
Has anyone on this list had experience with setting up email forwarding, like bigfoot and such services do. If so can you point me to some resources on this subject. Richard Nothing is interesting if you're not interested.-- Helen MacInness
ipfwadm
Hi. I have a linux box connected to internet thru ethernet..and my winbox connected thru that to internet using ipmasq. Now ive been trying to run a quake2 server..or any games server for that matter, not the point, on the winbox and letting ppl externally connect to it. linuxbox has 10.1.1.1 ip on internal eth card, and winbox has 10.1.1.2. I set up ipfwadm -F with these options.. hopefully to forward connection to port 27910 to my winbox. ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P tcp -S 0/0 1024:65535 -D 10.1.1.2/32 27910 ipfwadm -F -a accept -b -P udp -S 0/0 1024:65535 -D 10.1.1.2/32 27910 So q2,uses tcp and udp..it should accept all conections from *.*.*.* with most ports and forward to 10.1.1.2 port 27910. Except it doesnt work. Could someone please let me know what obvious error I might have made. Thanx Richard Clarke
Re: ipfwadm
Further to the below problem. If i try to flush the ipautofw table, I get.. ipautofw -F setsockopt: Protocol not available Does this mean i dont have the necessary kernel support to forward connections? - Original Message - From: Richard Clarke [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Debian User List debian-user@lists.debian.org Sent: Thursday, November 25, 1999 8:02 PM Subject: ipfwadm Hi.

gnu-pop3d
Hi, I have my debbox, set up so that exim delivers local mail, and I can run fetchmail to retrieve pop3 mail to a local mailbox. I now wish to be able to download this mail to my winbox on the internal network. I installed gnu-pop3d and added it to inetd.conf, and I can telnet to port 110 just fine and get the response, +OK POP3 Welcome to GNU POP3 Server Version 0.9.8 [EMAIL PROTECTED] man.ac.uk So I take it the pop3d is running ok. However no matter what username/password I use, I receive bad password responses. My inetd.conf line is, pop-3 stream tcp nowait mail/usr/local/sbin/gnu-pop3d gnu-pop3d and services line is, pop-3 110/tcp # POP version 3 Could somebody with experience in pop3d or otherwise offer my a solution to the problem. Also, is this actually the correct way to go about retrieving mail to my winbox? Thanx Richard
pop3d
Ok I have installed qpopper, so that I can retrieve mail from my debbox using pop3. However when I try and login, it wont accept my password. Looking at syslog shows me this, Oct 26 16:26:40 clarke-r in.qpopper[19796]: connect from 10.1.1.2 Oct 26 16:26:40 clarke-r in.qpopper[19796]: (v2.53) Unable to get canonical name of client, err = 0 Oct 26 16:26:50 clarke-r in.qpopper[19796]: [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -ERR Password supplied for clarker8 is incorrect.

Can someone shed some light on what the problem may be. Thanx Richard Clarke
Exim and mail
Ok, I want to use exim to deliver mail to local users and I would like to use fetchmail to deliver mail from a pop3 server to a particular user. However I am having problems getting it to work. I chose, (4) Local delivery only: You are not on a network. Mail for local users is delivered. I can mail to localusers just find using, mail. However if I try and do, fetchmail -u username t8.cs.man.ac.uk reading message 1 of 5 (1386 header octets) .fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from t8.cs.man.ac.uk fetchmail: Query status=10 Please help Richard

Exim and fetchmail
Hi, Could someone point me to documentation for exim and fetchmail which is easier to understand than the man files. As I understand, exim is a local mail agent which uses SMTP? to send mail around the localnetwork. Fetchmail delivers remote mail, POP3 in my case, to this local network and the users on it. However, I don't fully understand how it all works yet and my attempt to get either exim or fetchmail working don't seem to bear any success. Thanks in advance Richard

ssh/ftp
All of a sudden I am unable to ssh or ftp into my linux box from my windows box. I recently upgraded a couple of things, primarily libc6. Truth by told I can ssh into my linux box but ssh takes about 30+seconds to connect. Ftp doesn't work full stop. That is unless, I first telnet to my uni account on a uni box, then ssh or ftp (both work) back to my linux box. If I look what processes are running as I connect, the relevant processes do fire up but then after so many seconds the connection just times out. Can anyone make any suggestions as to what could be wrong. Thanks in advance Richard
Eggdrop and Debian
Could somebody please explain to me how I can get eggdrop working with Debian. I have installed tcl8 using both *.dev and *.tar.gz. But everytime, even tho I know tcl is installed...when I try and run eggdrop (yes it compiles just fine) it says... ./eggdrop: error in loading shared libraries libtcl8.0.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Yes I did configure with --enable=shared. Please tell me if this is a common problem and if so please tell me how I can fix it. Richard
