I am also interested in how to manage multiple smarthosts.  In addition, I would
like to know how to setup authenticifaction for each smarthost and how to direct
specific messages from specific senders to different smarthosts.

I have posted a similar question of www.exim.org's mailing list just recently

Regarding 7500 debian install

2001-02-05 Thread wcrowshaw
Thanks for letting me ask you several questions. And I will cc them to 
debian-powerpc.  So
here they are:
1) Do you have X up and running?
2) Do you use /dev/ttyS0 for your modem ppp connection or do you use /dev/cua0?
3) Have you had any success running diald?

I'm sure I have other questions, but this is just a start.  Obviously, for my 
question, you can 
deduce that I have problems with my 7500 with regard to X, pppd, and diald.  
I'm running
potato, kernel 2.2.17 and attempting to use X 3.3.6-10.

Thanks once again.

Question about X on 7500...

2001-02-11 Thread wcrowshaw
Amazingly I finally got X (3.3.6) to work on my 7500.  All I did was use
an altered version of an XF86Config file from my LinuxPPC install.  I also
used the xservers they supply with their distribution: xpmac and XFree68_FBDev.

Both xpmac and XFree68_FBDev work, but for some reason I have no mouse support
on my xpmac.  XFree68_FBDev is somewhat fuzzy, but it has a mouse.

So what do you think is wrong with the potato binary of X 3.3.6 shipped with 
Debian
powerpc?

Could you recall what you did to get Debian's X binary to run on on your 7500?

Thanks,

Re: modem not working

2001-02-11 Thread wcrowshaw
I'm running debian potato with kernel 2.2.18 and pppd 2.2.11 on a PowerMac 7500
with a SupraExpress 56k. I had a problem with the /dev/ttyS0 device that
I was using for my modem.  It would dial up but it just never could establish
a pppd connection.  Finally tried the old /dev/cua0 and now it works. I don't 
really
understand why though. I think it is somehow related to the modem and the mac
8-pin serial port.

Using /dev/cua0 could help, but then again it might not be supported in kernel
2.4.1.  If who need to know how to create /dev/cua0, let me know and I will
tell you how.

Hope this helps somewhat.

X keyboard settings on Mac...

2001-02-16 Thread wcrowshaw
I'm using X 3.3.36 on potato.  Comparing XF86Config files between my debian
install and my linuxppc install, I found the following difference:

On debian ppc XF86Config, there is the line:
XkbKeymap "macintosh"

On linuxppc, there is no such line, instead:

XkbKeycodes "macintosh"
XbkTypes "default"
XkbCompat "default"
XkbSymbols "macintosh/us"
XkbGeometry "macintosh"
XkbRules "xfree86"
XkbModel "pc101"

Does anyone know why they are different and should I make my Debian file
look more like my linuxppc XF86Config?  Perhaps I should just leave it
alone, because debian X works fine, following the linux mantra "it works, but
I don't know why"

[Q] Upgrading the kernel to run MOL

2001-02-17 Thread wcrowshaw
I am trying to get mol running on my debian potato install.  I downloaded
the mol rpm of version 0.9.53-2, aliened and installed it.  After a few
other steps I, molstart notified me that it needs kernel 2.0.4-test10. So
I found a pre-compiled version on the net, and set it up as follows:
As root, I put the vmlinux produced by untarring and unzipping the tar.gz
file of linux-ppc in the /boot.  I also placed the System.map file accompanying
vmlinux in /boot. I also placed the modules that came with it in
 /lib/modules/2.0.4-test10.  I also put a copy of vmlinux on my MacOS 
partition in folder /System Folder/kernel images for bootx. I also created
a symbolic link between /vmlinux and /boot/vmlinux (the new kernel). 

Now I get the following error message upon rebooting, and I don't know what my
next step should be:

--begin excerpt
Parallelizing fsck version 1.18 (11-Nov-1999)
fsck.ext2: No such file or directory while trying to open /dev/sdb5
(null):
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2
filesystem.  If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock
e2fsck -b 8193 

fsck failed.  Please repair manually and reboot.  Please note
that the root file system is currently mounted read-only.  To
remount it read-write:
   #  mount -n -o remount,rw/

CONTROL-D will exit from this shell and REBOOT the system

--end excerpt

Now /dev/sdb5 is my root partition.  How can I fix this problem? What should
I do next?  And when I do it, can I easily go back to kernel 2.2.17 which
came from my stable potato?  Although I want to run MOL, I don't want to lose
any functionality with a newer unstable kernel.

I took your advice and found all I need in the Nov. and Dec. list archives.
I compiled my first debian kernel 2.2.18 (yipee) and installed.  

Then I download the mol sources 0.9.53 (the same source which made the rpm
that, when installed, claimed I need kernel 2.4.0.)

Problem is that I ran into a build problem that i can't figure out. I searched
the archives and found no similar compile problem.   Compile fails, and I
think it has something to do with missing headers.  Here's the beginning
of the stderr output.
--

--end of excerpt

The error message goes on for some lines, but I think those follow from the
headers the compiler said it was missing: sysdep.h, ansidecl.h, dis-asm.h.

(dis-asm.h) comes in the include directory of the mol source, yet the makefile
doesn't seem to be able to find it.

any clues about the other files, and what going wrong here?

thanks

Java on debian ppc...

I also found the patches that you mentioned posted in the list archive.
After I was finally successful in applying them (used the --ignore-whitespace
option), I have encountered another problem when I try to make. Make fails
and outputs one line:
Rules.make:118: *** missing separator. Stop.

Reviewing your patches, I did find one which altered line 118 of the Rules.make
file.  It involves adding the -lelf option to the gcc compile command.  
I would attach a copy of your patch to this e-mail message, but it wouldn't
matter because even when I remove the -lelf option which the patch added, I get
the same error message. 

 Any idea about the "*** missing separator" and how to get around it.

ps. I applied your patches to the 0.9.53 source.

MOL

2001-06-07 Thread wcrowshaw
Sometime last month there was a thread about connecting MOL to the
linux install running it using a faux ethernet connection.
After alot of experimentation and the some kind assistance from
another poster I have managed to make this connection.   I can
mount my linux home directory as a AppleShare Volume on the MOL
side. Pretty damn cool!

Yet, I am not completely satisfied.  With the proper set up, I thought
as well that I could ftp or telnet into the linux install running MOL.
But I haven't managed to do so. I would like to even run a web browser
on the MOL side and surf the internet through the faux ethernet
connection.  If any one could give me some tips, I would really
appreciate it.
 
Here are details about my linux setup
an ethernet with two hosts.  The ethernet is 192.168.1.0 (localnet) and the
hosts are 192.168.1.1 (zooey), my installs hostname, and 192.168.1.2 (fran).
I have the ethernet interface eth0 connected to zooey and my current
kernel routing table looks like this:

Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
127.0.0.1   127.0.0.1   255.255.255.255 UGH   0 0  0 lo
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0   U 0 0  0 eth0

On the MOL side, I have the following setup:
AppleTalk Control Panel "Connect Via" set to "Ethernet"
and AppleTalk activated.
TCP/IP Control Panel "Connect Via" set to "Ethernet"
 "Configure" set to "Manually"
I.P. Address set to 192.168.1.2
Subnet Mask set to 255.255.255.0
Router Address set to 192.168.1.1
All other fields are left blank.

Like I said, this setup allows me to mount linux directories as AppleShare
Volumes, but it does not allow me to telnet, ftp to linux.  It also
does not allow me to browse the internet (once I have established a ppp
connection to my isp). How should I change this setup to make these things
happen?  Should I make zooey a nameserver, as well as a router?
I have done alot of experimenting with the kernel routing tables, but
to know avail.

Once again, help would be greatly appreciated.  Once I get everything
working, I am planning to write a detailed how-to about connecting
MOL through ethernet to the Linux side of things.

Thanks,
