RE: Sendmail on RH8
Answer to your first question: Send mail to user@[ip address] (you need square brackets). Pavel. -Original Message- From: Jason Dale [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Mon, January 06, 2003 9:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Sendmail on RH8 Hi All: Question #1 I am in the process of transferring mail server functionality to my new RH 8 machine , and everything seems to be working just fine. However , I need to find a way to 'test' the new mail server , without changing the MX record's IP address on our ISP's DNS servers. Is there a command I can use in Linux to send a mail message from one Linux server to a specific account on another Linux server , referenced by IP address rather than by DNS lookup ? bear in mind that both of these Linux servers are on the same LAN Question #2 Sendmail queues all of it's incoming mail for an account into one large account file in /var/spool/mail. Is there a way I can break these large files down into smaller message sized chunks so that they can be delivered to their recipients' computers individually ? ( naturally , the user must be logged on and must be requesting mail from the server ) Regards , Jason -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
Re: Unable to boot - Stuck at "GRUB"
Around about 05/01/2003 21:39, Tommy McNeely typed ... [root@cookies root]# grub-install --recheck /dev/sda Hmm. I had a problem when I first set up grub under RH8 in that I boot my ABit mobo from an ATA66 I/F (IDE 3 of 4). When I boot from CD (to install/rescue), /dev/hda -> (hd0) and my boot drive hde -> (hd1). But when I set my BIOS to boot from 'EXT' (ATA66, hde), it swapped the order, so that hda->(hd1) and hde->(hd0). This meant that for install & rescue, grub sees the 'wrong' mappings, and the boot grub fails (as the boot drive is no longer correct). I finally figured this out after various 'find's inside the boot grub, and just changed the grub.conf nos. to the 'swapped' versions. However, it does mean (I think) that I have to run grub [shell] by hand, and do init/setup manually too. How *should* I be running grub-install, and can I fiddle this device.map to make it work more straightforwardly? -- [neil@fnx ~]# rm -f .signature [neil@fnx ~]# ls -l .signature ls: .signature: No such file or directory [neil@fnx ~]# exit -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
Re: Unable to boot - Stuck at "GRUB"
You can define device swaps in grub.conf with the map command. Check info grub, the manpages etc. A quick Google gave e.g. this link: https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/valhalla-list/2002-June/003173.html Cheers, Patrick On Mon, 2003-01-06 at 09:47, Neil Bird wrote: > Around about 05/01/2003 21:39, Tommy McNeely typed ... > > [root@cookies root]# grub-install --recheck /dev/sda > >Hmm.

I'm not sure of the technical details, but editing device.map and re-installing grub to the MBR worked for me. That was after I tried to edit grub.conf and swap hd(0,0) with hd(1,0), which did not work, but I didn't re-write grub to the MBR after that either (docs didn't say I had to)... I can only assume that Grub updated something in the MBR after the installation of the IDE disk, and that's why modifying grub.conf didn't work. -- Best regards, Brian Curtis -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

there are number of ways but im not sure how many they are :) anyways all you have to do is to use the cd1 and use 'linux rescue' then right after the boot has been executed, do a chroot /mnt/sysimage at this point /mnt/sysimage will be your chroot()'d dir. now do a grub-install *sorry i forgot im on xp box atm check man grub-install :)* I assume that you have an existing linux, as you've mentioned below.

A properly implemented access control mechanism gives out information only on a need-to-know basis. The default should always be deny first. The default in Linux (and most Unix implementations) allows all users to view the passwd file. This is bad - there is no reason why one of my customers should be able to determine my user names. With wu-ftpd, they don't know. With sftp, they can simply grab the passwd file and will have a head start in cracking my system. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

One thing to check is how far off your system time pre-sync is from the current real time. If it's more than a couple of hours ntpd will assume something has gone wrong with the network time and refuse to sync your system, exiting instead. To set your hardware clock after you've synchronized on network time do: /sbin/hwclock --systohc Also note that the ntp people prefer you to use a stratum-2 or stratum-3 server, not a stratum-1 server like time.nist.gov. The load on stratum-1 is already extraordinarily high keeping the other strata in sync, so the added load of workstations that could use a lower stratum should be avoided. Pick 5 - 10 servers from this list: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.html and put them in your ntp.conf file.

Re: ntpd problems
To add multiple servers, do I add multiple "server " lines, or do I delimit them somehow, like with a comma or something? I synched my system clock to make sure. Will have to see on next reboot if this helps. I was changing settings to files in /etc/ntp, but never actually modified /etc/ntp.conf, so maybe that was my problem. Thanks for the help.

For a typical home user, 2 normally suffice. Your ISP probably has time servers available and you should ask them first since they'll be the closest. I synchronize my Linux server at home to 3 systems (all area universities) and then synchronize my other home systems to my Linux server. The fewer the systems you can synchronize to, the better, unless you have a very good reason for being paranoid (at work, we've also bought our own stratum 1 time server). -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

The more you have the better approximation of UTC you'll get. Only having 3 servers can lead to the following situation: One server goes unavailable due to network problems at their site. One of the remaining servers in your list has a problem that skews it 30 minutes away from UTC but doesn't impact its network performance, while the other remains relatively true. Your machine will average the two, and give you a 15-minute offset time. If you'd had another two servers with good times in your list, ntpd would have ignored the time from the 30 minute skew. > The fewer the systems you can synchronize to, the better, unless you > have a very good reason for being paranoid (at work, we've also bought > our own stratum 1 time server). We synchronize one local timeserver against a broad list, and all local machines sync against that one. Many timeservers is good not only for paranoia, but also gives a more robust and accurate local approximation of UTC. If you can't get the boss to spring for a stratum 1 server, 10 stratum-2 servers' opinions is the next best thing :) -- Michael D.

Note that if the the time is too far off, nptd can't resync. You should make sure you list the time servers in /etc/ntp/step-tickers. If you do that, the startup code will use ntpdate to set the time correctly before attempting to start the daemon. Normally this matters only at bootup time, since once the daemon is running properly, it will keep time synchronized properly. In the step-tickers file, you can just list the servers, separateed by spaces, e.g.: server1 server2 server3 -- pete peterson Teradyne, Inc.; 7 Technology Park Drive; Westford, MA 01886-0033 +1-978-589-7478 (Office); +1-978-589-2088 (FAX); [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list

OOo packaging in psyche?
Hello, two questions on this issue. First of all, rpm -qa |grep openoffice gives the following results: openoffice-i18n-1.0.1-8(~116 MB) openoffice-libs-1.0.1-8(~128 MB) openoffice-1.0.1-8 (~ 80 MB) The last one is comparable to the Linux tarball one could download, but what about the first two? The fonts _are_ nicer and I want to keep them, but is it really needed, to run OOo on psyche, to have almost 1/5th of GB more, not shared by any other application? Even when one will presumably use it only in one or two languages? Second OOo packaging question: some days ago I asked this on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list: > >If I understand the packaging correctly, OOo 1.0.1, as shipped in Red >Hat Linux 8.0, is one of the major apps still requiring the old font >system, i.e. "forcing" the installation of libraries otherwise >obsolete. >I say this because I see that openoffice requires chkfontpath, which >in turn pretends to have xfs, the old font server. Following is the answer I just got, interlaced with my other questions. Any comments? - Forwarded message from Christof Pintaske - Sun Germany - ham02 - Hamburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - OOo does not require chkfontpath or xfs. IF chkfontpath is installed THEN OOo uses it do determine the fontpath of xfs. If xfs is not part of the normal installation then its pointless to create a dependency to chkfontpath into the OOo rpms. > >Is this correct? If yes, why, This seems to be a RedHat packaging issue not an OpenOffice.org one. >and what are the plans, if any, to move >to the new Xft2/fontconfig system?

RE: accessing the rdh8.0 desktop via ssh
Thanks for the enlightenment...(pun intended)
turned out that the first problem was caused by my commenting out the
lines between
initlog $INITLOG_ARGS -c \
"su ${display##*:} -c \"cd ~${display##*:} && [ -f
.vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${display%%:*} $ARGS\""
#"su ${display##*:} -c \"cd ~${display##*:} && [ -f
.vnc/passwd ] && vncserver :${display%%:*}\""
what I mean is that when the commented line was above the non-commented
line, it wouldn't work - strange but true...
as for the second issue, I am somewhat dense on window managers and have
gotten stuck on KDE but with RH 8, it probably doesn't much matter to me
whether I use GNOME or KDE - I am not knowledgable of the differences
between the two (spoken like a guy with a $60 video card and a $10 audio
card).
Some of this is important to me since I intend to try LTSP and this is
good for background...
Now if Redhat would update the Gnome 2.0 on RH8...

AFAIK, yes. At leat I have nver been able to get it to work without one.

This is unrelated to your question, but: Please keep in mind that time.nist.gov is a stratum 1 server. You should only configure a machine to use time.nist.gov if that machine is going to be a stratum 2 server, and will provide NTP service to 100 clients or more. These guidelines are covered in the "Public NTP Time Servers Rules of Engagement": http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/servers.html (If you know all this and are setting up a stratum 2 server for your site, then I apologize; it's just that your message gave me the impression that you might be an end user who was being unintentionally antisocial by using a stratum 1 server solely for your own PC.) -- James Ralston, Information Technology Software Engineering Institute Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
Re: ntpd problems
I don't think they are being "intentional" as it is in the drop down field of redhat-config-time as the "top" choice :) .. that is the one I would pick (and did) till I replaced my old ntp.conf from 7.x Tommy On Mon, 2003-01-06 at 22:42, James Ralston wrote: > On Mon, 6 Jan 2003, Justin Johnson wrote: > > After a new install, my computer fails to sync to the ntpd server > > (time.nist.gov).

/dev/dvd
who keeps taking away my /dev/dvd link.. its driving me insane :p I think it has something to do with plugging or unplugging USB devices, but I can't put my finger on it. Does anyone else randomly loose their MANUALLY CREATED /dev/dvd (or other dev links) and/or know who or what does this?
