Exim4 config help request
I just installed ProMepis and it installs by default exim4 SMTP service. I am looking for a simple working configuration for exim4 (I have been using Sendmail and have tried Postfix too!). Requirements is that it should send to and receive from remote domains (office box connected to Internet via LAN). The error message sent back by exim is: ... Mailing to remote domains is not supported in fact, it does not send to another machine in the same domain! Any pointers will be appreciated. -ishwar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: dhclient backgrounding?
Pobably you want to make sure that DHCP server is up before the clients contact it. As to starting network services, the machine will have to restart them via some local script.

modem+kppp question..
I am trying to connect to scholl dial-up via USRModem and Kppp. I configure the modem (including initialize string), but when dialed it gets connected to remote box, the message is displayed but stays stuck at: host: (in log window) but expecting CONNECT string from remote box. The remote box (school) uses PAP/CHAP with prompts host: ppp login: password: I tried it through terminal window (interactively), connects, ppp is set up (garbage chars seen) but I couldn't find a way to close window and put the connection in background (modem hangs up on closing the window).

You can do what you want, but I think most DHCP servers expect the clients to comply with periodically re-upping the lease. I'm not sure, but I think the lease period is probably specified by the server when the ip is granted. Read the manpages for client and servers to find out more. You could, for instance, simply change your network to use a static address with the ip you receive from the dhcp server -- but of course this would I did that but the client still goes for renewal. Temporary solution I have is to kill the DHCP client (not allow it to run). I am sure that there is a sane solution avaiilable in this group. -ishwar -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
