RE: [SLE] Running Fetchmail as a deamon
by kevin.jackson＠jhallpr.demon.co.uk 28 Apr '00

As you already know, Fetchmail takes the information from the .fetchmailrc file from your home directory. So if you log on as User1 only /home/User1/.fetchmailrc file is used. Now, thinking about it, this makes sense as you can have a number of users log into your Linux box and they can have different email addresses and/or accounts. So, if User1 dials up, he/she doesn't get email for User2. Therefore putting Fetchmail in your /etc/ppp/ip-up script works well. BUT - there is always a but.... Here's my question..... If User1 logs in... and dials the internet, then /etc/ppp/ip-ip is called, starting fetchmail. If User2 logs in - is fetchmail accessing User2/.fetchmailrc to retrieve email for User2 email account? Example: The Linux machine has 1 shared modem to access the internet User1 has an email account: junkmail(a)email.net He logs into Linux, the modem dials out, ip-up is called and fetchmail is started using User1/.fetchmailrc User2 has an email account: iloveemail(a)another.isp.com She logs into Linux. She can't dial out - because the modem is being used by User1. But, fetchmail has already been started as a daemon. Is User2's .fetchmailrc file downloading email from iloveemail(a)another.isp.com (eventhough she never executed the ip-up script? Geesh - I go about things very long winded, don't I?

Re: [SLE] TFTPD
by rost0005＠stud.uni-sb.de 28 Apr '00

hi leo and all, are you sure, that you have tftpd installed, because there are several ftpd's in the inetd.conf, but only the one being correctly installed by yast,(the one probably uncommented before), will actually be installed. So, Go to yast package select, find tftpd either: if there exists a seperate tftpd package, select resort (F4<- I think) and find it in the alphabetical list, or go through the network stuff, on first scan look for tftpd in the name, on second scan read the description of the packages (F2 <- I think). uninstall the other ftpd, if you definetly not need it anymore Hope, this helps, greets, alex On Fri, 28 Apr 2000, Leonard Ong wrote: > Dear Friends, > I need to run TFTPD on my linux box for my cisco routers to save the > image to.
