port 25 only accepts connections from localhost
by Allen Seelye 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

I'm running suse 8.2, kernel 2.4.20 with postfix 2.0.6. I'm sure that this question has already been asked but I have been unable to find it in the archives and I've been in google hell with it for several hours now without turning up a real answer other than this seems to be specific to the latest suse releases. I just want to get port 25 to accept outside connections. I have "inet_interfaces" set to "all" in main.cf, which is about the only fix I've found any mention of but it isn't fixing the problem. netstat shows the smtp service listening on 172.0.0.1:25. I've also set "POSTFIX_NULLCLIENT" to "no" in sysconfig\postfix. I know that port 25 is open on the firewall because I am able to connect to my isp's mail server on port 25 with no problems. From the mail server I am able to telnet to localhost 25 and send mail just fine. Any advice is appreciated.

In need of CF card reader...recommendations?
by Tom Nielsen 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

I've worked on getting my Canon A70 to work with 8.2 for about a month and now give up. I figure I can just use a card reader and make my life simple. Who can recommend a card reader that will do CF and SD and will be a quick and easy PNP? Thanks, Tom - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems, Inc. 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

Timely updated packages
by Felipe Alfaro Solana 21 Sep '03

21 Sep '03

Hi! I'm new to SuSE Linux. I've been using Red Hat since the very beginning and, now I've switched, there are a few things I'm starting to miss. There are others I like very much like the great collection of KDE software and Yast2, which is very superior to the admin tools bundled with RHL9. Red Hat mantains a special, public RPM repository called RawHide (ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide) This repository is updated timely (nearly every day or two) with the latest versions of every package. If you want to stay on the bleeding edge by running the latest bits, even when they're not oficially supported, you simply pull them from the RawHide repository. For example, GNOME 2.4 or KDE 3.1.4 are there waiting for people to start using and testing them. You can even fill bugs against Bugzilla for RawHide components. Is there something similar for SuSE Linux? For example, when I saw the KDE 3.1.4 announcement, it was ready for Red Hat Linux 9 and Debian, but not for SuSE Linux. I love KDE and I wanted to install 3.1.4 but I haven't found RPMs o SRPMs for SuSE Linux. The same happens with GNOME 2.4, OpenSSH, OpenSSL, MIT Kerberos (or Heimdal) for example. I miss the fast update times of Red Hat. Yeah! I know I can download the sources and compile by myself, but... Another thing I miss out is the openness in the development cycle of new Red Hat Linux betas. Have you seen the Red Hat Linux Project? I was very disappointed when I was informed that I could not participate on the SuSE Linux 9 Beta. Will this change someday? Will there be a public beta of SuSE Linux 9? Thanks for listening.
