My hosts file has only the following.

My sendmail.cf has O DaemonPortOptions=Name=MTA and /etc/mail/relay-domains has localhost myserver.mydomain.org myserver2.mydomain.org myserver3.mydomain.org because I have Apache set up with multiple virtual hosts, and want to be able to receive mail at any of the registered server names. sendmail.mc also has MASQUERADE_AS(`myserver.mydomain.org')dnl to ensure that all mail appears to come from one location. >From: Ron Herardian <rherardi(a)gssnet.com> >Reply-To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list(a)redhat.com> >To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list(a)redhat.com> >Subject: Re: Fedora core 1 sendmail problems >Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2004 16:31:47 -0800 > >Homer, > >Double check that "Addr=127.0.0.1" is removed from the sendmail.cf file. >The sendmail.cf file is only rebuilt on restart (or if you run make in >/etc/mail) of sendmail if and only if you have the sendmail-cf package >installed.

Re: Window position on opening

Yes, xprop for firefox does indicate "program specified location": WM_NORMAL_HINTS(WM_SIZE_HINTS): program specified location: 0, 0 program specified minimum size: 0 by 0 window gravity: NorthWest And I notice that line does not appear when I run xprop on an Evolution or gnome-terminal window, both of which open correctly. Is there a config file for this somewhere where commenting that instruction out for firefox might solve the problem? Thanks, Bill

Making a spare boot up floppy
by Barry Yu 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

1. I made a bootup floppy with mkbootdisk `uname -r` in a fat16 format floppy and tested it - it works fine. 2. I copied all the files in this floppy into my data partition(Fat32) with cp /mnt/floppy/* /mnt/f32_data/ , used ls -l /mnt/f32_data and can see them all in new place; boot.msg initrd.img ldlinux.sys syslinux.cfg vmlinuz 3. And then I used another new floppy which formatted in f16 and copied all files from data partition into it by cp /mnt/f32_data/* /mnt/floppy (This is the second new floppy), used ls -l can seen them all (5 files) in the floppy. 4. I used this second floppy ( all 5 files I copied from /mnt/f32_data/ ) to boot FC1 and I saw the message; "Non-System disk or disk error. Replace and press any key when ready" - This floppy simply just can't boot! 5. I used this same floppy and boot up into FC1, issued commad mkbootdisk `uname -r`, and then I used it to boot, it works - This indicated that the floppy itself physically is useable. 6. I compared files in the bootable floppy and contents in my f32_data folder that has the files boot.msg, initrd.img, ldlinux.sys, syslinux.cfg, vmlinuz, both file names and file size are absolutely the same. The result tells one thing; Only the floppy made by FC1 with bootdisk `uname -r' is bootable, if you transfer or copy files in this floppy into another floppy even the files are there afterwards, the new floppy is not bootable. I want copy all contents in the bootable floppy into my data storage partition, and copy them back into a blank floppy in case I need - I had bad experience in open a blend new box of floppy and 3 consecutive floppy even not workable at all! I must prepare if the current boot floppy one day is gone. Moreever, I really want to know above copy process what have I missed that caused the new floppy not bootable even with correct contents in it (At least I can't see what I had missed). Thanks for helping.

Fedora core 1 sendmail problems
by Homer Sapions 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

I have been searching the archives of this list and google and not yet found the solution to my problem. It seems like this is a common problem with sendmail on new installations of Fedora, so I am frustrated by not finding a solution that works for me. I would really appreciate any help. I had a RedHat 7.3 installation working properly, both sending and receiving mail with sendmail. I wanted a clean Fedora install, and since then I can send, but not receive mail. I have modified /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and commented out the line dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl then ran make -C /etc/mail and restarted sendmail with service sendmail restart. I also modified /etc/mail/access and added localhost.localdomain RELAY localhost RELAY 127.0.0.1 RELAY myserver.mydomain.org RELAY then restarted sendmail. I have a 4 port linksys as a router/firewall between my cable modem and my server (and 2 other PCs). Port forwarding is enabled on the linksys to allow http traffic, and smtp on port 25 to be forwarded to the server - which was all working correctly before the Fedora install. I ran ethereal and watched connections, not that I understand much of the packet info. I see connection attempts, but external mail servers never complete a connection. The typical pattern seems to be a remote server sends a SYN on port 25, I reply with SYN,ACK. Remote sends a SYN, I send 2 SYN,ACKs. Remote sends a SYN, and I send 3 SYN,ACKs, and eventualy the rmote gives up. >From any PC inside my network I can telnet to the server on port 25 and issue basic smtp instructions.

Then report this open relay to the ISP that owns the netblock. Good luck! A lot of these so called open relay IP addresses are the "throw away" variety. Used only once. Also, check the html code of the e-mail. Most reference images from your bank's website, but contain a redirect to some web server that actually captures your information. Again, try to report this website to the owning ISP. > I hope I can get the linux community help me to track down > the low life crooks. It's easy to track down and report where these e-mails came from. The hard part is getting the owning ISP to do anything about it. ISP's probably receive hundreds (if not thousands) of these complaints a day. BTW: I phoned up my grandmother and educated her on this new breed of spam (identity theft). Steve Cowles

Pass SSH password automatically
by Steve Searle 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Many moons ago I set up my (then RH) Linux box to pass the current password automatically when SSHing to another box. If I was logged on as steve, and I did "ssh myserver" it would take me straight to a shell on myserver, logged on as steve, assuming the steve account on myserver had the same password as the box I was coming from. I was not asked for the password. Does anyone know what I need to change to change my current setup to work like this.

Re: Simple ISO Question

I have used Roxio as well as a few other CD writing packages. You can usually just double click the name of the ISO file in Windows Explorer. If associations have been set correctly, it will open the CD writing application and you can just write the image to disk. Otherwise, most apps I have seem have a facility to select and write the image to CD. >From: John Thompson <JohnThompson(a)new.rr.com> >Reply-To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list(a)redhat.com> >To: fedora-list(a)redhat.com >Subject: Re: Simple ISO Question >Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2004 13:47:04 -0600 > >On Thu, 11 Mar 2004 13:10:52 -0500 >Mike Yurick <myurick(a)city.peterborough.on.ca> wrote: > > > This is a simple question, but I cannot figure it out.

startx doen't die on logout
by Shoshana Rosenthal 28 Mar '04

28 Mar '04

Hi, I am running fedora 2.4.22-1.2174.nptlsmp on my PC. I have dual monitors. The video controller is a VGA compatible controller, NVIDIA Corp. I have installed NVRM version: NVIDIA Linux x86 NVIDIA Kernel Module 1.0-5336 and configured XF86Config. The X session seems to work fine, with the exception that when I logout of the session, I don't return to the login window. I have to kill startx from a remote session. Does any one have any clue what the problem might be? TIA Shoshana --
