Mail question - Port 25
by Dan Eskildsen 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

HI. Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm a real newbie ;-) I have a suse 8.2 linux box I use to run apache/php/mysql My ISP has blocked port 25 because they say "customers have been abused through this port". I don't really need / want a mail server but what I would like to do is send email from a php program that I am writing. Will I be able to do this? I assume that I will need to have postfix or sendmail running to send mail from php, right? Which is better/more secure, Postfix or sendmail? When I send mail from my email client I use my ISP's smtp server. Regards, Dan Eskildsen

Booting Problem
by Akinola Oke 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

I have linux installed on a system that was formerly Windows and I am having problem booting straight with LILO. I always have to be at the console to type "Esc" for the system to skip to LILO, otherwise, the system will just be rebooting since there is only residue of Windows application left. How can overwrite the booting process to that only LILO boots. Thanks

Is this possible with linux network programms/utilites ???
by magre 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

I have IP address of our Clan server, for "Jedi Knight: Jedi Outcast" game. I can connect to it ONLY through the game(this means - nmap can not see this port). So the question itself: is it able to monitor this server as I'am in there ??? I simply want to listen these server's messages. Is it possible ? -- -- Jedis are alive --

tripwire?
by Silviu Marin-Caea 14 Jun '03

14 Jun '03

I tried using tripwire (included with SuSE 8.2) and it has some rather outdated configuration files (Red Hat 7.0!). Is there another software that is "preferred", ie more up to date and better supported by SuSE? Thanks

Re: [SLE] can't kill X

Sounds like you're in the wrong runlevel. Edit /etc/inittab id:5:default: Should read id:3:default: then you'll be able to boot into the console or kill X once it's running.
