    Unable to relay, with Auth

    Do you have relaying allowed in your sendmail.cf file? Be sure you don't allow promiscuous relaying if the server is to be connected to the 'net. Octalman

    Should be an easy one...

    Well, | works (and is even useful sometimes) on MSDOS and PCDOS. But, I suppose M$ means WinDuhs to most folks these days ;-(( Check out Ruby (a true OO language). It uses | to enclose the argument of a do. Ruby runs on WinDuhs as well as *n*x. Octalman

    ISP won't forward mail

    Thanks for the reply, RhythmAce. In my configuration, SuSE Linux doesn't run DNS. Saves a lot of hassle and eliminates some (potential) security holes. That was part of what was confusing me because the ISP insisted that _I_ was causing the problem somehow, that he had "made no...

    ISP won't forward mail

    I have run sendmail on SuSE Linux successfully for almost three years (currently sendmail 8.11.1 on SuSE 7.1). About July 15, my ISP changed its e-mail handling to filter incoming mail through an offsite system. While I can still receive mail (from anywhere) and send mail to others within the...

    Xconfig problem at install

    If the X Windows autodetect can't recognize your video card, it uses a default configuration.  Since X doesn't recognize your card, you may be able to hand tune the modelines to get a more reasonable display, provided the Chrontel (or whatever) VDG can be handled by the X Windows SVGA...

    I need information about X.400

    I'm not sure I understand your question.  If you want to know how to obtain X 4.0, the one sure way is to download it from XFree86.org.  The source code is HUGE and may take hours to compile.  There may be compiled versions available -- anyone have...

    is there any way to increase the size of the partition(root)

    You can symlink subdirectories in /root to subdirectories in another filesystem, say /home (/temp is a bad choice).<br><br>If speed is a concern (it shouldn't be for /root), you can make hard links instead of symbolic links. <p>Octalman<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

    Dualboot Windows2000 Advanced Server / Linux

    tjaeggi, check the thread with Mike Lacey, five pages back (partitioning a 9 GB drive) and the FAQ on this forum.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have any problems, let me know. <p>Octalman<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

    Setting up Microtek monitor 1556-OSD for Red-Hat Linux .

    There are a number of problems with the i810 driver up through X Windows Version 4.0, but these should be fixed (mostly, if not completely) with 4.0.1. <p>Octalman<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

    Passing structure components as arguments to a routine

    Is there any particular reason you named the structure variable *n?&nbsp;&nbsp;I suspect you intend to use n as an array of x,y pairs, so why not just declare it?<br><br>Unless you are doing something esoteric, you don't need to &quot;read&quot; the structure, just use pointers:<FONT...

    moving linux to a different computer

    I &quot;think&quot; so.&nbsp;&nbsp;The kernel notes have some wisdom about the kernel code evading known problems with VIA (and other) mobo chipsets.<br><br>I installed Red Hat 5.2 and SuSE 6.2 directly from CDROM.&nbsp;&nbsp;No problem, though I had to give up on RH because they didn't have a...

    lost mouse control in X

    Yes, you can turn off autodetect, but I forget how.&nbsp;&nbsp;If you can't find the HOWTO, let me know. <p>Octalman<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>

    moving linux to a different computer

    There have been some issues with VIA chipsets, but I'm running a K6-III/400 with a VIA chipset.&nbsp;&nbsp;This is a replacement for the first mobo, which had problems with the L2 cache.&nbsp;&nbsp;Note that not all VIA mobo setups are equal.&nbsp;&nbsp;This one doesn't use all the VIA chips the...

    Problemas with resolution ( video Card )

    The S3 Trio driver has some serious bugs (at least for Trio 64V2) in X Windows versions 3.3.5 and 3.3.6.&nbsp;&nbsp;A release for version 3.3.7 is planned, but there isn't a target date set.<br><br>I doubt that you are using X version 4.0, but if you are, 4.0.1 (release planned sometime within...

    inode issue

    ...inodes are made up of fixed-size structures that don't contain the file name or any directory structure information.&nbsp;&nbsp;That is why *n*x file names can be very long (limit varies depending on which *n*x) - they are stored, along with directory structure information, in a variable...

    fat32 partition

    ...sub-directories with the same name under a common parent directory.<br><br>As you have already seen by allocating /home to a separate drive, *n*x doesn't care where its directories (and their subdirectories) are located physically.&nbsp;&nbsp;But they all still belong to the same directory...

    fat32 partition

    No problem, fenris.&nbsp;&nbsp;Like AndyBo says, plug it in and check to see if the kernel recognizes the drive (/hdb or whatever).&nbsp;&nbsp;If it does, you're almost home.&nbsp;&nbsp;Set up your mount point(s) - I call mine /dos (clever, huh?&nbsp;&nbsp;You can name it anything you want that...
