Majordomo problem
by Marc Revenga Esquinas 08 May '03

08 May '03

I'm trying to create a mailing list. I have installed SuSe 8.1 with postfix, cyrus and majordomo. When I send and e-mail to majordomo@domainame it returned to me with an error message (no mailbox for majordomo). With cyradm I created a mailbox and now all the e-mail send to majordomo are stored in this mailbox. Is the first time I install majordomo, cyrus and postfix. Cyrus and postfix are running well. I think the e-mail are in the wrong place, I think the e-mails have to be processed by the script in /etc/aliases. I thought the problem was on /etc/aliases.db that does not actualize propertly but that wasn't the problem(I has sent a message to this list and people told me that I was updating it well). What i'm doing bad? I send too a few lines of my configuration files in order to have more information of my configuration. in /etc/aliases majordomo: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo" majordomo-owner: admin@domainname, lista: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper resend -l lista lista-outgoing: :include:/var/lib/majordomo/lists/lista lista-request: "|/usr/lib/majordomo/wrapper majordomo -l lista lista-approval: owner-lista, owner-lista-outgoing: owner-lista, owner-lista-request: owner-lista, owner-lista: admin@domainname, I have changed the commas and they are bad for sure, I didn't know why the commas were there. If someone can put well i'll be very pleased. in /etc/postfix/main.cf alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases, hash:/opt/majordomo/aliases home_mailbox = .Maildir/ newaliases_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = true braken_sasl_auth_clients = yes local_transport = cyrus When I inserted the line "local_transport = cyrus" the e-mails were no more stored in $HOME/.Maildir. I suppossed taht cyrus take the control of e-mails and put them in its mailboxes. This makes that mutt and pine doesn't show me the messages. If someone can help me. in /etc/imapd.conf partition-default: /var/spool/imap sasl_pwcheck_method: saslauthd If someone thinks that needs more info, please tell me. I'm a little newbie but I thought this was a good year to start with that. The other files of postfix, cyrus and majordomo are on it's default state. Thanks for reading all this large message. Nao you can go to the bar and drink some beer.

Adding new hard disk
by M. Edwin 08 May '03

08 May '03

Hi all, I just check my proxy server and found that the harddisk is so limited (my harddisk is only 4 GB). I have to delete some file to make more room but still I feel not enough. I check with df and 95% is used. Can anybody here tell me how to install new scsi harddisk and move some directory to the new disk without disturbing the existing directory structure. Said move /var/squid/cache or /var/log to the new one. Thanks in advance. Kind Regards, M. Edwin

Windows ssh client recommendations (for yast2 use)
by Greg Freemyer 08 May '03

08 May '03

I ssh from a windows box into SuSE boxes all the time. In general it works great. Running yast2 in terminal mode is the one exception. Does anyone know a ssh client (and terminal emulation) that lets the alt-x key sequences work and draws the screen graphics correctly? I mind it being commercial, but OSS would be better. Currently I use cygwin and ssh when I want to run yast2, but the graphics show as funky chars. I use "SecureCRT" in vt100 mode for my normal ssh access, but I don't know how to get alt-x type of keystrokes to be sent. TIA Greg -- Greg Freemyer

Any help or insight with this would be appreciated as I really have to get this to work with SMP. My guess is the bonding.o module on the SMP kernel has a problem, but I don't know where to go from here... Has anyone else had this problem??? On a side note if anyone know how to simplify the use of the ifenslave commands for enslaving the devices on startup that would also be appreciated.

YOU wrong arch in SuSE8.2
by K Sp 08 May '03

08 May '03

I have upgraded a SuSE 8.0 Pro to 8.2 Pro. Had some difficulties with the bootloader (had that on other installations as well - seems to be a few bugs in 8.2). This is an old Pentium MMX 266. When I try to get YOU to update the smbclient and Sendmail/uucp with security fixes from any FTP server, it ends up saying: "ERROR (Media:login failed) Couldn't cd to pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i386 uucp-1.06.1-853" My Athlon XP1800+ updates fine, also from an update CD I created with wget copy of the FTP server. CD also fails on the old Pentium. The correct directory is pub/suse/i386/update/8.2/rpm/i586. How/where do I change this?? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

8.2 and Linksys WPC11v3 Wireless Card
by Brian 08 May '03

08 May '03

Hi, Just bought 8.2 and installed it on my laptop that used to run 8.0. (You can read my review thus far at my blog, http://www.rurnt.com/brian ) I've read several threads about getting the Linksys WPC11 v3 wireless card working and each seems to suggest a different approach, none of which has worked yet. 'carctl ident' gives me: Socket 0: product info: "The Linksys Group, Inc.", "Instant Wireless Network PC Card", "ISL37300P", "RevA" manfid: 0x0274, 0x1613 function: 6 (network) I would like to get the card working with 128-bit Wep at home and be able to easily switch it to work on any open access point elsewhere. Is this the unattainable holy grail of wireless access on Linux? Detailed directions for a sometimes dense user appreciated. Brian

Perhaps worth mentioning that if you use a recursive copy to replicate the file structures you intend to relocate, you should use the -p flag to cp in order to preserve ownerships, permissions, etc. I forgot this once and it breaks things because the system can't read or write the files in the way it expects. Of course if you keep your old files around for a while you can recover from the breakage without difficulty, but it's worth avoiding the waste of time :-) > > Kind Regards, > M.

Thanks for your opinion John. It sounds not too hard to do that :-) You done it on EIDE right? The problem I have is SuSE (7.3) cannot recognize my other SCSI disk connect through other SCSI card. I install other SCSI card because the SCSI on board is very old and it is difficult to find the disk match with it. Maybe I will buy the new EIDE disk. Kind Regards, M.

Said move /var/squid/cache or /var/log to the new one. Thanks > in advance. If you're adding rather than replacing the disk it shouldn't be too hard. I've done it with a new EIDE disk and also with solaris partitions when the update patches got too big. I would create a partition /var2 on the new disk and create directories /var2/squid and /var/log. Then, as root, copy the files in /var/squid to /var2/squid and /var/log to /var2/log. Then rename /var/squid to /var/squid-old and /var/log to /var/log-old and use ln to create symbolic links: # ln -s /var/squid /var2/squid # ln -s /var/log /var2/log Everything should now work OK. It's probably sensible to shut down squid while you do this. When I did it on solaris, I shut just about everything off for five minutes. When you're sure everything is working OK, you can delete /var/squid-old and /var/log-old. But, if something goes wrong, you should can go back to the old directories. -- JDL Non enim propter gloriam, diuicias aut honores pugnamus set propter libertatem solummodo quam Nemo bonus nisi simul cum vita amittit. -- Check the headers for your unsubscription address For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com Also check the archives at http://lists.suse.com Please read the FAQs: suse-linux-e-faq(a)suse.com
