Telnetting to SCO-Unix - terminal emulation problems
Hi! I can telnet into a SCO 5.0.2 server from linux, but am having problems with the terminal emulation when running some programs. Is there any way to fix this? The best terminal setting seems to be at386 at the moment, but some function keys don't work on a certain application. Some windows applications (eg: NetTerm) have a SCO console terminal emulation for both the terminal and keyboard which works well. James River ICETCP can emulate SCO ansi and wyse60 terminals. Are there any programs available for debian like these? Rob... -- http://www.mikka.net.au/~cyberruz [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Email problems - qmail
I am using the qmail mail server and only some users cannot send e-mail to me. I can send mail to these users without any problems. One of them got the following message: The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by >the >server. The rejected email address was "**yours***". blah blah blah. >... Server error 550. Error no 0x800CCC79 Also, I found the following in my logs that could contribute to the problem: Feb 3 14:46:33 ns tcp-env[20129]: warning: /etc/hosts.allow, line 11: can't verify hostname: gethostbyname(mail.hbhholdings.co.uk) failed Feb 3 14:46:33 ns tcp-env[20129]: refused connect from 193.116.26.2 I tried the command host 193.116.26.2, but it did give me the host above correctly! I tried to edit the /etc/hosts.allow file, but everything seems OK. I am giving access to a few addresses outside and line 11 contains the line .mydomain.com.au The /etc/hosts.deny has the only line as ALL:PARANOID. Can anyone suggest what is causing both problems and how to fix them? I am running the server via a 56K modem (permanent connection). Thanks!

Fw: downloading with dselect??

It will let you know if it depends on something and then you install the next file it asks for using the dpkg -i again. (It worked for me when dselect didn't work when upgrading from a previous version of debian to potato. After installing libc6, I could install the rest of the packages without to much trouble) rob...
Fw: Installing Debian on a Red Hat system over the Internet?

One way to do it is to install debian on a separate hard drive and configure the system and the kernel to run on the overseas server. Then ship the hard drive overseas and get someone to install it on the system. Then you should be able to log into the system and add any other programs or configure the system futher. I had a problem where I had to fly interstate to fix a hard disk crash, but in hindsight could have done the above from a backup I had. I don't know if you can convert from redhat to debian...in theory you should be able to...but I can imagine the headaches!! Probably you are better off doing a fresh install. I had enough troubles upgrading from debian 1.3 to debian 2.2. Rob...
Setting up mail
Hi! I have tried to setup qmail on a new server but get errors when retrieving or sending email via outlook express in Windows (via a workstation). It gives "cannot open socket" on both SMTP and POP. Anyone know which files to change or where to look for info? I had tried backing up the old server running debian 1.3 and doing a tar cvfp and then restoring it on a new machine (installed debian 1.3 first). Everything worked fine (ie. web browsing / hosting / DNS) except the qmail problem, although I could send email via elq but could not retrieve new messages. I tried to telnet into the machine using the SMTP port, but could not. On the old machine, I could log in and noticed that a qmail "popper" came up when checking the processes, but am still stumped!! I am attempting to upgrade ultimately to debian 2.2, but want to do this on another hard drive, hence the backup / restore. Regards, Rob..
Re. Total Confusion
In your /etc/ppp/options file, try changing auth to noauth. This means you don't have to authenticate yourself to the server.

You could try using an old version of debian like debian 1.3 (Bo). I think you can get it in the archivesit should work fine for a 486. Mine came with a rescue disk which I booted from and then it installed the rest via the CD. Then you should be able to upgrade your system to the latest debian and build the kernel that you want. It's strange that you can't install the latest debian...have you tried just booting from the CD (assuming you have a bootable distribution off a CD).? Don't know if your 486 BIOS can support it.

Re: bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable (ssh)
Yes, I got the same message with our server. I had to kill all the ssh sessions that "didn't exist". I also had a problem with ssh which asked me to create more pttys, which I did and this also alleviated the problemnot sure why ssh (I think v 1.3) does this (ie creates phantom processes when the user had already logged out) Rob... - Original Message - From: "Andrei Ivanov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Imre Vida" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: Sent: Saturday, June 09, 2001 5:44 AM Subject: Re: bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable > > Hi, > > > > i seem to have a problem with my Debian box. > > > > When i try to login to it using ssh it accepts > > the login but then instead of the bash prompt > > i get the following erromsg: > > > > bash: fork: Resource temporarily unavailable > > > > This has never happened before and i didn't > > anything in the configuration since my last remote login. > > > > What could be the problem? > > > > imre > > I've seen this before, and it has got something to do with too many > processes running on the system, eating up the file descriptor table.
