my mouse is freezing a lot in FC1/mozilla (my most frequently used app at home) might do it in other apps too, will have to watch for it, the only way to get cursor movement back is to ctrl-alt-fn to a virtual terminal and then ctrl-alt-f7 back to x.
this seems to have started after my last yum update.
just curious if it is a coincidence (h/w failure on my box) or if this is happening to anyone else.
thanks, John
I have a similar situation, but in conjunction with my Belkin switchbox. Are you using a switchbox between machines?
If so, then this is a flaw in how X initializes (or fails to do so) when you switch between hosts.
I have a problem. My server PC is down (taking it to the shop on Monday when they open) and I wanted to transfer the sendmail settings from the server PC to my client PC. The server was running RH9 and the client runs Fedora Core 1. Anyway, I've altered my /etc/sysconfig/iptables to allow port 25 and 110 access (SMTP and POP3) and restarted iptables, but it won't allow access to port 110. The Fedora Core iptables file was a little different from RH9, but I think I've got it right. Here are the relevant lines from /etc/sysconfig/iptables:
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 25 -j ACCEPT
-A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -m state --state NEW -m tcp -p tcp --dport 110 -j ACCEPT
I can telnet to 127.0.0.1 25, but not to 110. When I try to telnet to 127.0.0.1 110 it says:
[root@baby mail]# telnet 127.0.0.1 110 Trying 127.0.0.1... telnet: connect to address 127.0.0.1: Connection refused telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
When I telnet to port 25 I get this:
[root@baby mail]# telnet 127.0.0.1 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost.localdomain (127.0.0.1). Escape character is '^]'. ^]
telnet> quit Connection closed. [root@baby mail]#
I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help! Until I get this fixed I have to rely on the central.coxmail.com server, which is hardly reliable at best....

Hmm... need sleep. Need to watch my formatting. Sorry. May be a silly question, but, have you installed and enabled the POP daemon?
michael
You can see if there's something listening on the port by running: netstat -atpn
Mike's question is a good one though =)
I had the same situation but with a Linksys switchbox. It was solved by upgrading to FC2

No unfortunately this is directly connected on my home machine.
Everything was fine until sometime last week. I'm going to open the box this afternoon and see if the fan is still spinning on the video card and whatnot.
I don't lose the keyboard, just the mouse, and switching to a vt and then back to X unfreezes the mouse.
Thanks, John
That was it. I forgot to update the /etc/xinetd.d/ipop3 file on my client PC. Thanks for your help.

OK. I can access access port 110, but when I try to send mail from this address to michael@espersunited.com (my primary email address under my domain) the mail gets returned with this error:
Each of the following recipients was rejected by a remote mail server. The reasons given by the server are included to help you determine why each recipient was rejected.
Recipient: michael@espersunited.com Reason: 5.7.1 michael@espersunited.com... Relaying denied. Proper authentication required.
Also, whenever I try to send email from michael@espersunited.com I get this error:
Unable to authenticate to SMTP server. Bad authentication response from server.
Please enter the SMTP password for michael@smtp.espersunited.com
I changed the password in the text box to the password I use on the client PC, but it won't accept it. Mail worked just fine on my server PC (until it went down due to hardware problems), which was running RH9. I made nightly backups of the /etc directory on the server PC. Then I backed up /etc/mail on my client PC (which runs Fedora Core 1) and extracted the server PC's backed up /etc/mail files into my client's /etc/mail. What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me with this?

You always have to start by looking at the logs. That is a general rule. Sendmail logs by using syslogd to /var/log/maillog. There you will find the information you need to solve your problem. Maybe increase the log level.
As a wild guess - due to lacking both log file entries related to the problem as well as sendmail.mc settings - I assume you do not have saslauthd running?
Alexander
make sure you have your client pc in your /etc/mail/access file. mine looks like so.......
# Check the /usr/share/doc/sendmail/README.cf file for a description # of the format of this file.

one more thing to check
make sure your /etc/passwd file didn't get screwed up
you can change your password for your account by doing:
[root@rokit mail]# passwd user
this will change your password and that will take that out of the mix.

Only needed and useful if you do not want to enforce authentification but bypass it.
then do a m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
If changes are only made within the access map file then rebuilding of the sendmail.cf is pointless. It even won't rebuild as there are no changes in the sendmail.mc.
then /etc/init.d/sendmail restart
Editing map files does not require a restart of the Sendmail daemon! Therefor they are hashed. On Fedora a Sendmail service restart too makes a manual call of m4 unnecessary.

I don't think authentication works out of the box on sendmail.
I think you can remove the comments (dnl at the start) of the following lines from /etc/mail/sendmail.mc dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
or you can tell your mail clients not to use authentication (used to be the default configuration for mail clients but I have noticed recent versions of Netscape default to on)
It is up to you to determine which mechanisms are appropriate and how to configure them - there is a lot of documentation on sendmail - especially authentication methods.
if you edit sendmail.mc file, all you should need to do after that is to issue make -C /etc/mail to get the changes implemented

It works out of the box, be ensured. If you use unencrypted mechs (LOGIN or PLAIN) and you start the saslauthd.

As a Sendmail daemon restart is needed you can leave that step out, as the init script will do it for you.

--- it wasn't such bad advice - it missed the question which was about authentication. Had it not been asking about authentication, your advice about /etc/mail/access is correct.
The advice shows that you've been using sendmail a long time and there have been some shortcuts made, concerning re-hashing and m4 generating a new cf file, but the commands such as: m4 /etc/mail/sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf still work (though as you undoubtedly noticed, sendmail.cf has moved to the /etc/mail subdirectory.

First of all, I'm using evolution as the client. I have no idea what you mean by mechs, but I guess I'm using whatever the Fedora Core default is, unless that is altered in /etc/mail, and I have no idea what 'saslauthd' is. I checked the dates on the files in /etc/mail against the dates in my backed up /etc/mail from the server PC and found that I had not extracted them over correctly. I have now fixed that. Now when I try to send mail from outside my domain to inside it, I get the mail returned from my domain's postmaster saying
----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- michael@espersunited.com (reason: 553 5.3.5 system config error)
----- Transcript of session follows ----- 553 5.3.5 espersunited.com. config error: mail loops back to me (MX problem?) 554 5.3.5 Local configuration error
Please don't flame me. I'm under a lot of stress. This network is all I have and it's not working right at the moment. I'll try to delete all traces of replying to other threads in the future, but I can't use evolution's address book because the address-book backend crashes every time I try to use it (a topic to be saved for a different thread) and I can't be expected to remember email addresses for the twenty or so mailing lists I'm subscribed to...

Do not take it offending, but you should only run a mail server public reachable after you learned the basics.
If you would have a look at the original sendmail.mc file shipping with FC1 you would see:

Other mechanisms should be used if the connection is not dnl # guaranteed secure. dnl # dnl TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl dnl define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
MECH means the mechanism SASL uses to handle authentification data (username and password). And the saslauthd is the SASL authentification daemon, run by the init script /etc/init.d/saslauthd.

You domain name is not listed in the /etc/mail/local-host-names files.

First of all, I'm using evolution as the client. I have no idea what you mean by mechs, but I guess I'm using whatever the Fedora Core default is, unless that is altered in /etc/mail, and I have no idea what 'saslauthd' is. I checked the dates on the files in /etc/mail against the dates in my backed up /etc/mail from the server PC and found that I had not extracted them over correctly. I have now fixed that. Now when I try to send mail from outside my domain to inside it, I get the mail returned from my domain's postmaster saying

Please don't flame me. I'm under a lot of stress. This network is all I have and it's not working right at the moment. I'll try to delete all traces of replying to other threads in the future, but I can't use evolution's address book because the address-book backend crashes every time I try to use it (a topic to be saved for a different thread) and I can't be expected to remember email addresses for the twenty or so mailing lists I'm subscribed to...
---- - we all operate under time pressure constraints. Learn to deal with them gracefully please, they don't excuse failures to protocol, rudeness, etc. - In the header of every email is the sender and the 'replyto' - click the reply to in Evolution or any other mail client will create a new empty email (no address book required) and no hijacked thread. A system administrator should know this. - sendmail is struggling because your dns loops.
from outside world... # host espersunited.com espersunited.com has address 68.15.193.18 # host -t MX espersunited.com espersunited.com mail is handled by 10 espersunited.com.
Only you can check inside of network. My guess is that you need to configure that machine to accept mail for espersunited.com
/etc/mail/local-host-names #should contain things like... localhost localhost.localdomain espersunited.com www.espersunited.com #etc.
make -C /etc/mail

I have a similar situation, but in conjunction with my Belkin switchbox. Are you using a switchbox between machines?
If so, then this is a flaw in how X initializes (or fails to do so) when you switch between hosts.

On the general issues of switch boxes -- how are folks switching.
Since the serial protocol of mice and keyboards does not support multiple contexts all a magic box can really do is multiplex the inputs. If you switch in the middle of a character or in the middle of a multi-character control sequence there is no way that a magic box (without complex logic) can keep all things in order. Sort of like mixing top and bottom posting does here ;-)
I have an old Belkin switch box and have no trouble. I do however only use the buttons on the box to switch and not the function escape sequences. There are also issues where a keyboard can be programmed to send special sequences it could expect to retain these so machine A with special sequences borks when these sequences are sent to machine B or some combination of the above.
So the question is how do people use their switch.
It makes sense that some defensive programming could be included in the byte stream handler in X that could tidy things up when there is a protocol error.
I also use remote X display via ssh a lot ;-)

this seems to have started after my last yum update.
Replying to my own post. My PS-2 mouse was dying a slow death. As it's life waned, the symptoms on my box grew even more bizarre.
Cube (the free doom engine game) would drop mouse/lock every 4-5 seconds then go black. 2D apps would run for hours at a time, but eventually lock.
The mouse would work "better" in my other (normally headless) machine, but still freeze X on the rare occasion.
Sometimes the keyboard would stop responding when the machine was booted and Fedora tried to "Start Console Mouse Services" (gpm). Occasionally Kudzu would sometimes find/not find the mouse (these symptoms were more recent and really got me suspicious of the mouse).
Yesterday it died completely while I devising ways to test it :-) A new mouse has fixed everything...several hours of gameplay now with zero errors.
