Hello, o.k., I have to give up (sigh!) and ask some more experienced debianers. I changed my distribution from SuSE to Debian and there are some problems I can't cope with.
When I try to run Knews or pine I get the messages "Incomplete mail domain" (pine) and "Couldn't determine domain name. POsting will not be possible." I cant't even manage to use the (normally) easy to install newsflash- program from Markus Dickebohm; it gives a "119: host is unreachable" (but a "telnet localhost 119" is possible). I think I have done something wrong during the configuration of inn and sendmail (in SuSE these things have been done in the background I think). On the other hand I can get news via popclient. Which packages do I have to install and which scripts do I have to configure to get everything right (assume that my linux-box is named "daddel", my static IP-Adress is 123.45.678.123 and is only used as a stand-alone machine with ppp-connection)? Another question is: Where can I change the character set from US-Ascii to iso-8859-1? Thanks a lot. --------------------------- Willi Schiegel [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
