I wonder why you don't have '/etc/gpm.conf' (some one else told me the same to) even though I have it on my Debian box :( I'm using gpm-1.10-2 right know, but the package was installed from long time, maybe the config. file's name has changed since. One way to know what config. file is used on yours, is to look into '/etc/init.d/gpm', the shell var 'cfg' in the first few lines contains the name of the config. file : -- # less /etc/init.d/gpm #!/bin/sh # # Start Mouse event server test -x /usr/sbin/gpm || exit 0 cfg=/etc/gpm.conf ^ cmdln= if [ -f $cfg ]; then . $cfg if [ -n "$device" ]; then cmdln="$cmdln -m $device"; fi if [ -n "$type" ]; then cmdln="$cmdln -t $type"; fi if [ -n "$responsiveness" ]; then cmdln="$cmdln -r $responsiveness"; fi if [ -n "$append" ]; then cmdln="$cmdln $append"; fi fi case "$1" in start) echo "Starting gpm $cmdln" /usr/sbin/gpm $cmdln -- If for some reason you dont find 'cfg', go and edit '/usr/sbin/gpm $cmdln' line above, and put instead : /usr/sbin/gpm -m /dev/psmouse -t ps2 -R if '/dev/psmouse' is not the name of PS2 mices please change it to whatever it might be (sorry I don't have such mouse) for '/dev/gpmdata', it will be created once gpm will started with -R option. hope things will go more smooth for you by know :-) >Matthew >- >Matthew Stone, 23 Roosevelt Drive, Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada L4C6V1 > Pager (416)339-9052 -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

I have Debian-1.1.4 and gpm-Linux 1.06. I do have gpm-root and /etc/gpm-root.conf. Is that what you meant? Because the man for gpm-root does mention the gpm-root.conf file. > - check out that gpm is running and you can see the mouse cursor on your Linux > console (if not you have to work on your gpm config). you may start gpm by > typing as root '/etc/init.d/gpm start' I found that doing /etc/init.d/gpm stop in a xterm just hangs until I ctrl-c or kill the gpm -k from another xterm (but then again, the gpm docs do hint at strange interference with X.) > PS: this trick is drawn from the documentations of gpm package.

This is a sendmail/DNS configuration problem, an example of how to set things up: In the zone file for your domain: domain.com. IN MX 10 mx1.domain.com. host1.domain.comIN A 192.1.1.1 IN MX 10 mx1.domain.com. mx1.domain.com IN A 192.1.1.1 IN MX 10 mx1.domain.com. host2.domain.comIN A 192.1.1.2 IN MX 10 mx1.domain.com. in the /etc/mail/sendmail.cw file on host1: domain.com host1.domain.com mx1.domain..com host2.domain.com basicly you have to have an entry in the sendmail.cw file on host1 for all hosts listing host1 (or mx1 as my example above) as their primary MX host. Much much more on this sort of thing in the O'Reilly "Sendmail" and "DNS and BIND" books. Christopher E.

Looks like your sendmail is setup wrong. It may also be something with how you are naming your machine, too. What exactly its doing is sending mail to itself to deliver, and it keeps sending mail back to itself over and over -- Daniel Stringfield mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jax-inter.net/users/servo Send email for more information on the Jacksonville Linux Users Group! -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Problems with Sendmail and X..
ok.. i am trying to set up sendmail.. now it partialy works.. the local sendmail works when i am not online but when i ma online the outgoing sendmail works but the incoming doesn't... now what is wierd is it bounces but i still kind of get the mail on the recieving end.. and i do kill the sendmail process and reload it when i get online.. i bounces and get 12 messages (this is on the sending side) and the error message i get is 553 site.name.address. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?) then i get a another message.. only one of them this time 554 Too many hops 26 (25 max): from <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> via site.name.address, to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> now on the recieving site.. i get 12 of the 553 error messages.. any idea why this is happening?? now with my X.. i can't seem to get my PS2 mouse to work.. which is a real pain.. I configured the setup all right with the right device and everything but it still doesn't work.. doesn't seen to be able to find that device right now i am using a serial port and it's a pain in the butt having 2 mouses.. any idea how i can fix it so the ps2 mouse works.. i used to have it working with the ps2 mouse but alas my linux crashed and i by mistake formatted the partitation so i lost the setup..
