[SLE] mail

Hi, Can any one help? I run 6.2 on a laptop. At work I have a permanent link, whilst at home I use dial up. I cannot access my isp's smtp server directly from work (due to strange nature on the NHSnet firewall) - and thus have to route all smtp mail to an NHS smtp relay. Then at home chage settings and send direct to smtpmail.isp.net. What I would like to be able to do is to have sendmail send to one or the other depending upon either the environment or a simple command. I have been using mew under emacs for the experiments so another solution might be a command direct to mew. Problem is - I haven't figured out where to look to find a way of doing this. Any pointers anyone?

[SLE] How to get current display from HP-UX to Linux remotely?
by alex＠daniloff.com 10 Sep '00

10 Sep '00

Hello Linux folkz, I'm trying to do remote control of HP-UX workstations with HP4071A parametric testers from Linux box. Could somebody tell me please how I can see the operator's terminal on HP-UX box with currently open application over the network. I'm not talking about just remotely exporting display and launch graphical application from HP-UX. I need to see current terminal the operator is working on. I want to be able to interact with operator's terminal on HP-UX tester and correct operator's mistakes if nessesary. Could somebody clarify me the way how to achieve this. Thanks in advance.

[SLE] problems w/ second NIC
by Anonymous User 09 Sep '00

09 Sep '00

I have installed a second NIC in my SuSE machine. I am not able to ping anything other then the IP address assigned to the NIC. I know the NIC is good because I had been using the NIC in another machine before putting it into the the SuSE machine. I know the cables is good because I first tried the origninal cable the NIC was using, then I switch to another cable that is good. An ifconfig eth1 tells me that the broadcast/mask is set correctly. Any thoughts on other software issues I should check?

[SLE] SuSE Pro 7.0 w/crypto
by corvinr＠sympatico.ca 09 Sep '00

09 Sep '00

Since this is a perennial cause of complaint (and I have been one of the complainers): SuSE customers living in North America who want the *full* distribution, including crypto, on CD-ROM, can order it from Amazon.co.uk. The price, including airmail shipping to N. America, is 48 pounds. Amazon.de won't ship it to N. America, and if you order directly from SuSE GMBH you'll get whacked with high postage (which would have been the case with Amazon.de in any case).

[SLE] ATA-100

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi SuSE list users, dia duit! I've never used Linux apart from a Win Mandrake 7 install I did last week to see what the fuss was about and then a brief look at someone's SuSE setup, so would appreciate some help. Please could someone advise me on the following: 1. I ordered SuSE 7 Pro a couple of days ago and am in the process of building a new box to install it on. Can anyone tell me whether SuSE supports the following: * Promise ATA 100 controller * IBM ATA 100 drives If it does it would solve a lot of my problems with hard IDE devices. 2. Can anyone point me to the following: * online tutorials to help hardened Windows users with the concepts and switch over to Linux. * tutorials for beginners on Networking with Linux (I've got my own peer-to-peer and I would want to add the Linux system to the network) 3. Last, any advice on first time installation would be very much appreciated. I will be installing WIndows 2000 Pro on one 20 gig IBM ATA 100 hd and SuSE on another identical 20 gig IBM ATA hd - -- Thanks SImon http://www.netbanger.com -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5i Comment: Privacy is freedom.

[SLE] ftpusers to prevent anonymous ftp'ing
by novo＠uiuc.edu 09 Sep '00

09 Sep '00

Hi, I add the following entries to /etc/ftpusers anonymous guest guests hoping that it would prevent anonymous ftp'ing, but to no avail... and I did restart inetd. Additionally, I am using in.ftpd (as opposed to proftpd or wu.ftpd). man ftpusers suggests that what I did is enough, but... What am I missing... rebuilting a database?
