Thanks for all your suggestions. After a quick look, I decided to try and use the nntp-gw package (addition to the fwtk). This looked very promising, but I've been unable to use it so far. Syslog says: Dec 1 12:42:34 skimmer nntp-gw[951]: Starting daemon mode on port 119 Dec 1 12:42:59 skimmer kernel: SCSLog: connect - Name: nntp-gw | UID: 9 | EUID: 9 | PID: 956 | IP: 195.72.74.1 | Port: 53 Dec 1 12:42:59 skimmer kernel: SCSLog: connect - Name: nntp-gw | UID: 9 | EUID: 9 | PID: 956 | IP: 195.72.74.1 | Port: 53 Dec 1 12:42:59 skimmer nntp-gw[956]: permit host=charlie.be.msg-i.com/192.168.32.194 use of gateway Dec 1 12:43:00 skimmer nntp-gw[956]: command: MODE READER Dec 1 12:43:00 skimmer nntp-gw[956]: Assertion failed: f != NULL, file emo.c, line 176 Would anybody know about what it means ? accordingly to fwtk/libem/emo.c, 'f' seems to be a file descriptor, may be the connection to the server Since, I've checked that the server was available (telnet on port 119). Any idea or advice appreciated.

vacation program doesnt work anymore because of sendmail security?

Hi friends, after changing the righst of my sendmail from -r-sr-xr-x 1 root root 462412 Sep 6 01:17 /usr/sbin/sendmail to -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 462412 Sep 6 01:17 /usr/sbin/sendmail which is because of security improvement, I cannot use the vacation program anymore. I did not find a configuration parameter to adjust the used mailer program in order to change it to a special version of sendmail with suid set which could at least get the vacation to run. Any ideas how to get the vacation to run anymore? Regards, Rainer --

Ftp Services disabled
by Pao Sayaovang 01 Dec '00

Hello: Im a newbie at Linux. Recently setup a SuSE 7.0 LinUx box and had everything going well. Until, I made a few changes in the /etc/rc.config and somehow disabled my FTP Services. I've also made changes in my etc/rc.config.d/firewall.rc.config too and now I totally blocked out of my ftp services. I know I'm not being clear on the info I've given but can anyone help me get started with re-enabling ftp services again. Is it? start Inetd="yes"?? start Proftpd="yes"???? Thanks, ___________________________ Pao Sayaovang Weyco Group, Inc DID(414) 908~1813 Fax(414) 908~1913 psayang(a)weycogroup.com
