mail errors
by Thomas Wheeler 28 Aug '02

28 Aug '02

Hi all Here is the picture I got some users on sendmail and some on exchange 5.5 the users that's on exchange I created virtual addresses that reroutes any mail that's intentionally sent from a sendmail user box to a user on exchange. I have done the same on exchange were I created a custom recipient for every user that's on sendmail this way the sendmail users can email the exchange users and visa versa how ever. The users in sendmail can not always send mail to the outside world as they seem to get a error stating the following: Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients. Subject: FW: ??? Sent: 27/08/02 03:34 PM The following recipient(s) could not be reached: 'USER(a)mail.pentech.az.za' on 27/08/02 03:34 PM No transport provider was available for delivery to this recipient. Has any one had this errors before and if so how can I fix it?.. The users are all on outlook 97.

Hi! >>I have personal firewall installed on my SuSE 7.2 box. It's not >>activated, though. How do I activate it? I'm still a newbie, so please >>know that in your counseling. >you need to edit the rc.config in /etc. There you must set FW_START to >"yes", the default is no. But this does not mean that the firewall runs >the way you like . You must configure it in >/etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config. I think you should read die >Firewall how-to and ask for help if you cannot achieve your aims. as in 7.1 both of these files are only for SuSEfirewall. for SuSEpersonalfirewall it's /etc/rc.config.d/security.rc.config ONLY Best regards, Georg

Announcement: Fast OnlineUpdate for SuSE 0.7.0
by Markus Gaugusch 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

After nearly three months of work, I'm very proud to announce the latest version of fou4s (Fast OnlineUpdate for SuSE). Fou4s is an alternative to YOU (YaST Online Update), but with different aims: * Full cron-job support * Email notification if updates are available * Automatic download of updates during night, easy installation afterwards * Proxy support (a big disadvantage of YOU) * And many more ... The latest version is available at http://fou4s.gaugusch.at/. You may also want to subscribe to the new fou4s-devel mailing list. As long as traffic is low, this list will be for users and developers. Send an empty mail with subject "subscribe" to fou4s-devel-request(a)gaugusch.at for subscription. >From the Changelog: * Fixes for 0.6.1 + Paths are now quoted to support paths with blanks (current dir. only) * New options: + --checkdeleted: Check for deleted files that are still in use and exit + --nocompatible: behave like old fou4s, but not 100% like YOU (see man page) + --safemode: Disable install triggers + --arch, --suseversion: override detected values (for network distribution) * Complete new version comparison mechanism and many other improvements by Lars Ellenberg <l.g.e(a)web.de>, THANKS! * Honor UpdateOnlyInstalled flag like YOU does. * Check for correct format of http_proxy environment variable * The --all option supports -q now * Pre- and postinstall information is displayed. Packages with preinstall information can only be installed in interactive mode * The cronjob example cleans up the packagelist directory once a month (recommended) * Missing version numbers in patch descriptions are now compensated by using the version number from filename (if existing). * Better parsing of patch description files (several lines are now used as possible seperators) Special thanks for this version go to Lars Ellenberg <lge(a)web.de>, wo sent me lots of patches with improvements. I have learnt a lot from you, thanks!! regards, Markus Gaugusch -- __________________ /"\ Markus Gaugusch \ / ASCII Ribbon Campaign markus(a)gaugusch.at X Against HTML Mail / \

NameVirtualHost apache and SuSEconfig
by ic_admin 27 Aug '02

27 Aug '02

Hi List, I've a strange problem after I updated my apache with the last rpm found in the download-section: If I run SuSEconfig all my 'ServerName' settings in the NameVirtualHosts of the httpd.conf are renamed to the name of the server!!! No NameVirtualHost will work after a restart of the webserver. I checked the file SuSEconfig.apache but it is the same as on another machine where this didn't happen. I'm running SuSE 7.0 (this is an updated version, before it was SuSE 6.3) and the newest apache-version from SuSE. I also updated all other packages available in the download-section of SuSE 7.0 (like modules for apache; mm; bzip; ...). Anybody out there who had the same problem? Thanks and regards Ruediger

Hello Thomas, > How ever I only > received the modem form my supplier well after I installed > suse 8.0. I seemt > o not have a /dev/modem in suse as specified in the commented line in > inittab. > > How can I install this modem? Use YaST --> Network/Basic --> Modem configuration. But this reminds me of Windows, haha. You better do it manually: /dev/modem is nothing else than a symbolic link to /dev/ttyS0 or /dev/ttyS1 (COM1 or COM2).
