[SLE] DNS not working
by geralds＠visi.com 03 May '00

03 May '00

Just wanted to lst everyone know that I got my DNS working. I am using 6.3 and I think that the cause of all my problem may have been operator error. My fix was a little extreme, I reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled windoz on one partition and suse on another. I want to send a special thanks to Greg Thomas who tried to help me out. One question I need answered has to do with my router (cisco 675). I am going to set up a web server on IP address 10.0.0.20 My router has IP address 10.0.0.1 My nat entry on the router would look like this #set nat entry add 10.0.0.20 80 209.67.50.203 80 The starting configuration is set to manage outgoing connections only. If I use the nat entry from above, is the router acting as a firewall, or do I need to put a firewall in place??

[SLE] Ongoing Netscape Woes...
by kevin.jackson＠jhallpr.demon.co.uk 03 May '00

First up, I thank you for your response to my short questionnaire about what web browsers you all use... I already knew the answer - what else is available for Linux for surfin' the ol' 'net?! :) [No answers needed here, its a rhetorical question!] Anyway, my latest problem from the Netscape front is very bizarre indeed. I log in as Root on my Linux machine and to all extent the web page displays fairly correctly (minor faults) with web pages that have layers (<DIV> tags) in them. I log in as a normal user - and guess what? The layers are all strewn all over the place again!!!! I've updated to 4.72 - both from a patch AND (because that didn't solve initil problems) I downloaded the full 4.72 from the SuSE site. This is all working and the browser reports it as 4.72 (as do the web logs). I detest Netscape 4.x. I've never liked it. I hate having to design web pages for this "web browser". How many of you actually like Netscape 4.x? Don't answer that neither - it will depress me if I'm the only one who dislikes it... Role on Mozilla.

The way I got round this was to set an alias in /etc/aliases root: emailaddress(a)somewhere.com, \root then run newaliases. This way I get a copy sent to root and a copy to the other email address specified. There are a number of ways to do this - as always - this way works perfectly for me.

I know there are people I can pay for this, but say I want to detect a given email message (say with procmail) and then use my modem to send a message to my pager. Any software available to do this easily?
