right way to set-up SOA?

Hiya, I'm getting some interesting results from dnsreport's tools for checking my domain's SOA and MX related records... (mind you, everything is working well) I'm wondering how, given my scenario, I should set-up the MX record for my domain (and all the domains I host) I only have one

A couple of questions related to the sendmail patch, etc.

Hello, A couple of quick questions... I've downloaded the 8.11.6 patch from sendmail.org, and used the instructions they provided [patch -p0 /PATH/TO/sendmail.8.11.6.security.cr.patch], which then prompts me for 'which file to patch.' I'm not clear on which file I _need_ to patch? Or where it

hacking attempts?

I found this in my logs and I'm wondering if this is a hacking attempt? Should I be concerned? Also, if/when I see these, I'd like to add them to a blocked list using /sbin/ipfw, but get the following message when trying this command: # /sbin/ipfw add 1 deny all from

Yikes, how can I get around this?

I'm having a whole world of trouble with sendmail and apache, where previously I've had none. I added some new Mailman aliases to my /etc/aliases file and did 'make'. The process took a very long time. I restarted sendmail. The changes did not seem to take effect, so (stupidly) I remotely

Silly question re: Apache NameVitualHost directive

Hi, I'm wondering why/how I can get multiple NameVirtualHost IP addresses to answer? For example, I have one IP listed in the NameVirtualHost directive (e.g. 11.22.33.44), in my VitualHost 'containers' I use that IP like so: VirtualHost 11.22.33.44 etc. For some reason, I've never been able to

RE: (OT) fetchmail question

There's two ways of starting fetchmail up that would suit: First, take a look at the documentation for '@reboot' in crontab(5). Copy that line into each user's crontab and you're all set. That was the ticket, thanks! : ) Cheers, phillip. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL

(OT) fetchmail question

Hiya, Just wondering if anyone has a suggestion for an elegant way to start fetchmail back up for any/all users (with a .fetchmailrc file in their home dir), after a system reboot? Would a script in rc.d/ be the way to go? FreeBSD 4.7 p. -- Phillip To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL

I recently added some aliases to my ipconfig and now I'm getting these system messages? Should I be concerned? (FreeBSD 4.6) Feb 3 02:24:23 freedom /kernel: arplookup XXX.XXX.XX.XX failed: host is not on local network Feb 3 00:17:35 freedom sm-mta[94]: gethostbyaddr(XXX.XXX.XX.XX) failed: 1

RE: arplookup messages? now what have I done?

Hi Michael, My network topology skills are limited... does this mean the following: - my default gateway is on a 255.255.255.240 subnet - so is my devices real address - there is another device listed there (de0), no problems (internal) So, if I change the aliased devices to 0xff0

RE: arplookup messages? now what have I done?

Hmmm, I'm confused If you want to have your aliases attached to the tl0 interface, you need to use addresses in that range. So, something like: ifconfig_tl0_alias3=inet XXX.82.15.210 netmask 0x That's what I have, and I'm getting those funny arplookup error messages. The

FW: A question about umask, groups and classes

** re-post ** Hi there, What I'm trying to accomplish is - to have a group of users called 'developers' - read/write access to all files created by any member of that group by each member of that group. I believe in the past I've accomplished this via a umask of 002, but I don't recall where I

RE: How to set-up two 'defaultrouter' IPs?

See reply below... To create a somewhat redundant network connection, my friend has connected to business level ADSL connections at his home (32 IPs each). So, he has two routers, on two different networks (ATT/UUNET) and what he's doing is multi-homing his NIC cards and via some
