We recently upgraded from 7.1 to 9.0 and I've just realised that elm isn't in the package anylonger :( Can anyone suggest something that is in 9.0 which I can use as an alternative. I'm calling it from within a C++ program using system() to mail out log files... Any help appreciated, alan

You can use the 'mail' or 'sendmail' commands for mailing out from scripts/programs. I usually use sendmail. Something like `cat filename | /usr/lib/sendmail -v [address]` Ben

A more common approach is to pipe through '/usr/bin/mail -s "subject" user@host'. -Nick -- <<< Why, oh, why, didn't I take the blue pill? >>> /`-_ Nicholas R.

mutt is quite similar. http://mutt.org ftp://ftp.mutt.org/mutt/ -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # us1244711
I finally completed the FTP install of SuSE 9.0 but am having problems getting into the system via ssh. (The /var/log/messages and /var/log/warnings files both indicate the packets are dropped whether from a system on the same subnet or from the internet.) I have had success with figuring out problems like this on other systems by directly examining/modifying the iptables rules but have not been able to find them on this system. Could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you, Lucky Leavell

Iptables doesn't use configuration files, all rules are set by scripts into the kernel. The following are essential for SuSEfirewall2 (I guess you're talking about that): /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2 # Configuration file by SuSE /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 # Script that sets the rules based on the conf.file above /etc/sysconfig/scripts/SuSEfirewall2-custom # any additional settings/rules you want to add Personally I've found YaST2 to be a superior tool for setting firewall rules for *most* cases. HTH PS. The HOWTO isn't too bad, either, although not complete. /Marty

Having once seen Shorewall I'd never go back to Yast for this. www.shorewall.net -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
