[SLE] Postfix - masquerede?
by stuarthall＠mailandnews.com 03 Feb '00

03 Feb '00

I have Postfix installed on my machine at home, and I am having a problem figuring out how to place the correct return address on my SMTP mail. I have read all the sample-*.cf files, and the various Howtos and FAQs, but I cannot determine how to add a personalized return address to all my outgoing mail. For my users (say Bob, Joe and Jack), the return address should be the same: stuart.hall(a)quinnipiac.edu. Instead, Postfix is sending out the following: Bob(a)localhost.quinnipiac.edu or Joe(a)localhost.quinnipiac.edu - whichever username I am logged in as. I am sure it is something simple as specifying a $MyHostName or something, but I just cannot figure it out! Thanks! Stuart p.s. Don't tell me to uninstall Postfix and install Sendmail instead - Sendmail was even more of a nightmare to setup! :-) -- Stuart Hall Cheshire, Connecticut, USA Linux User# 141732 -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

With user-group-others, how do you make a directory or file readable/writeable for one group, just readable by another group, and not readable for the rest? I think I know the last part.

[SLE] - IPMasq help needed
by dlbt＠pacific.net.sg 03 Feb '00

03 Feb '00

I finally achieved samba printing, (winbox print to Linux Samba) and now trying to play with IP Masq. I am using my SuSE 6.2 box as router, with IP 192.168.0.5, in the config setting, activated IP-Masq, DHCP and some other, can someone help me on this? which to set ON and which do not set to ON? after playing with it, Netscape can't connect to the net so to email :( I uses a win98 with stat-IP 192.168.0.1 and a notebook with stat-IP 192.168.0.8 trying to connect to the Linux Box, both can see the share printer, able to ping both way (or three way to be exact). I tried both stat IP and DHCP client on the notebook and both the win98 box and the notebook are with gateway pointed to the Linux box (192.168.0.5) in there network setting. The Linux box can ping to the outside world, so where is wrong? connection to internet is through wvdial on 56k modem connection. I read the mini-howto on IP Masq, it say there is a script in /etc/rc.d/ but I can't find it? am I missing this or it's hiding somewhere else? the two scripts, one for the entire TCP/IP range? and one for specific IP addr suggested in the howto confused me. Can someone kindly help me on this, it seems that it's very fun to play with all this but guidance is appreciated. Thank you and regards.

[SLE] Krabber - segmentation fault
by michael.norman1＠which.net 02 Feb '00

02 Feb '00

I have SuSE 6.3 kernel 2.2.14 recompiled for ATAPI cd writing. CD writing works fine, but when I try to use Krabber I get a segmentaion fault. I have looked at various documentation and the SuSE database but cannot get much idea of what a segmentation fault actually is. I gather its some sort of hardware conflict. Is that right, and if so where do I look to fix it ? If I reboot using the old kernel that is with EIDE support then I can use Krabber as root but when I try to use it as normal user I get permision errors. This is despite the fact that I can use both cdparanoia and kblade as normal user. Is there something I've missed about permissions for Krabber ?

I dont know? I really dont know what Im doing yet. I am just trying to get online with my cable modem:) o what your saying is that I only need DHCP if im using my system as a server? that way all my other systems can "login" using DHCPCD? am I way off?

[SLE] Bridging
by hochen＠cc.UManitoba.CA 02 Feb '00

02 Feb '00

Hi, I have two machines and both running SuSe 6.1 and bridge software. The bridging works. Now I am trying to upgrade one of my machine from SuSE 6.1 to SuSE 6.3. But after I finished all all the installation precedure and enter brcfg, the computer keep telling me "ioctl(SIOCGIFER) failed: Package no installed". I thought probably that was because I did not include necessary packages other than bridge enable . Then I copied the .config file usder /usr/src/linux from another machine, in which bridge software works, and then recompile the kernel. It still didn't work. What was the problem? Many Thanks!

[SLE] MP3 playback Problems under SuSE 6.3
by samw＠wwa.com 02 Feb '00

02 Feb '00

I recently upgraded my SuSE 6.2 install to 6.3. I never really tried playing mp3's before this, however now I am having serious playback problem using mpg123 and xmms. I compiled mpg123 and I seem to have the most control over it. However the problem appears to based on sampling and I can't completely GET it. Xmms is an entirely different story. I can not get it in the ball-park at all. I thought that the problem could be based in part on a bad mp3 source so I ripped and encoded my own from this system. Playback was still bad. If that weren't bad enough, I was able to move the file to my redhat machine and it played perfectly under xmms. Currently, my sound is configured properly. I can do anything with sound other then play mp3's. I can even use the cd plug-in under xmms and play standard audio cd's without any problem whatsoever. I have searched through the support database and I seem to be the only person having any problems of this nature. Short of removing all mp3 related problems and their associate libraries and re-installing I'm at a loss. If anyone could give me any guidance on where to turn next I would greatly appreciate it.
