RE: Default Sendmail Configuration Changes?

It had to do with a setting in Mozilla Mail. Right click on an email account and go to properties. Then, after the mail and news account(s) listed on the left is an entry for Outgoing Server (SMTP). Click on that and untick the box for "Use name and password" and our problem goes away. Apparently having that ticked didn't cause any problems previously but now it does. -- Henry

Cryptplug (agypten-project) packages for fedora
by Rajko Albrecht 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

hi, are there anywhere packages for the aegypten packages (libgcrypt, cryptplug and so on) so I can use PGP/MIME within Kmail? Or is there another trick to setup PGP/Mime for kmail? (GPG itself is installed and works) I tried to install libgcrypt myself but runs into some trouble 'cause missing libraries (gpg-error for example) which is described as needed by gpgme but gpgme is installed without that, I didn't found a gpg-devel or such.... Any hints? R.

Just got a new dell with the sata promise raid controller + 2 sata 120gb drives. Fedora sees the driver (controller card) but not the drives (specifically it sees Intel PIIX/ICH ata controllers (ata-piix) Any ideas Wayne Spivak 516-353-9155 Sent via a BlackBerry.

athlon related kernel source
by Jack Nicholas 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

Sorry for "newbie-ness" of question: I'm told I need to download FC1 kernel source to /USR/SRC/ in order to compile. I have an Athlon XP processor. I assume I need to download the Athlon related package, no? When I installed FC1 did it make any difference whether my machin is Athlon, i686, or whatever? Thanks for any help. Jack

Good Linux Hardware Review sites?
by Fred Smith 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

I'm considering replacing some hardware here (Mommyboard, CPU, etc.) and can't find any online hardware review sites that routinely test with Linux. Can anyone point me to some (even one would be a good start)? Also, One board I'm considering is one of the AK3x series from Shuttle. A couple of years ago their AK31A was well thought of as a good stable low-priced board (not good for overclocking, but I don't wanna do that). I see that there is now an AK38 and AK39, was wondering if anyone has any experiences to tell with those boards? Thanks! -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex(a)fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ------------------------------- Romans 5:8 (niv) ------------------------------

by Jason Martens 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

I have FC1 installed on my laptop (Dell C640), and when I am connected to my work network, the wireless card activates itself about every hour, and overwrites my /etc/resolv.conf with wrong information. How can I keep the card from activating itself? Thanks, Jason

Stupid Newbie
by Peter Cannon 02 Feb '04

02 Feb '04

Hi All I have been using Redhat 9 for about four months, I am really proficient at starting up and shutting down. About 4 weeks ago I upgraded/Loaded Fedora and have had some problems some of which I have solved and some are still outstanding. Having said all of that I did a really, really stupid thing today, when I installed Fedora I had a few error messages but pushed on through the installation regardless, so I thought it would be a good idea (here comes the stupid bit) to delete the system on the Red Hat site, then delete /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid re register the system. Oh dear a little knowledge is dangerous, now my up2date says " This system may not be updated until it is associated with a channel." or "the applet has been unable to access the following information sources in its last attempts: fedora-core-1 @ http://fedora.redhat.com/releases/fedora-core-1, updates-released @ http://fedora.redhat.com/updates/released/fedora-core-1" However when I try to associate with a channel on Redhats site the website will net let me (possibly I'm doing something wrong). Can anyone help me "please, please, pretty please" keep in mind that I am a complete idiot and will need total hand holding (ie. click on this, then this or type this, then this) I hope someone will be kind enough to help as at the moment my laptop cannot now auto update. Thank you Regards Peter Cannon peter(a)cannon-linux.freeserve.co.uk
