aliases with sendmail.

by Karl Hiramoto

I have a mail server setup with sendmail 8.11.6 (redhat 7.2) that recieves mail for multiple domains. What I am trying to setup is this: sales(a)host1.com forwards to user1's inbox sales(a)host2.com forwards to user2's inbox Is this possible with sendmail? I've trid doing it in the /etc/aliases file and had no luck. when I run the newaliases command it gives me a warning and it doesn't work corectly when I tested it. I would prefer not to have to install qmail or some other mail server. -- ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Karl Hiramoto <karl(a)hiramoto.org> Work: 978-425-2090 ext 25 Cell: 508-517-4819 Personal web page: http://karl.hiramoto.org/ Zoop Productions: http://www.zoop.org/ KTEQ Rapid City: http://www.kteq.org/ AOL IM ID = KarlH420 Yahoo_IM = karl_hiramoto ¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø,¸¸,ø¤º°`°º¤ø Q: What's the difference between a dead dog in the road and a dead lawyer in the road?

Re: [Wlug] Permission Problems Accessing Server-based NFS Share

By default, the NFS server "squashes" root privileges for security. If it didn't, then the server would be completely open to attack by insecure NFS clients. Imagine copying a setuid shell to an NFS share from a client as root, and then logging into the server as a normal user and gaining root by running that shell you just copied there... You should use another user to access the files, or put them into a group and give group read/write access. If you REALLY want to run an insecure NFS setup, you can turn off root squashing by adding an option to /etc/exports on the server: /exported/directory 192.168.0.1(ro,no_root_squash) For read-only access, this isn't so bad. -- Charles R.

On the server, what are the user:groups assigned? Do you have the same user/group created on each server/workstation with the same UID and GID? Just a couple of things to think about.

Permission Problems Accessing Server-based NFS Share

by James E. Rame

Help! I want to set up my home network so that I can access my files stored on the server (Mandrake 8.0) from my client machine (RedHat 7.3) using NFS. I configured /etc/export on the server side and made certain that both nfs-utils and portmap were running on the server. I proceeded to mount the exported directory at a mount point I set up on the client machine without a problem. But, when I tried to access an exported NFS share on my server machine from my client machine, I got a "permission denied" error message. On accessing the client-side mount point, I see the subdirectories but they are noted to be locked. I was eventually able to get access to the directory but only by going into the server and enabling read, write and execute privileges for "others." Might someone out there have another solution? Is there something else I can do to solve this problem without having to leave read, write and execute privileges on the directory to such a broad class of users? Jim

I just picked one up as well (it's not here yet though), my searches seemed to say it was supported though....any ideas?

My question is, does anyone > have this card and wants to point me in the right direction. Or can > someone point me in the right direction for wireless and linux in > general. I'm pretty sure the Prisim II chipset is supported by the Orinoco driver. (and there's also a Prisim driver aparently, which I haven't tried yet) Is this a PCMCIA card? You'll need to enable support for this card in the kernel (if it isn't already). It's under the Network Device Support->Wireless LAN (non-hamradio)->Hermes chip 802.11b support (...) Enable that option, and the appropriate support option below it (PCI, PCMCIA, etc, depending on what kind of card you have) Of course, this doesn't sound good: Support for these adaptors is so far still incomplete and buggy. You have been warned. This is from the help text for the Ma301 driver support option. Good luck, -- Josh Huber

Re: [Wlug] OSs with RPM

by Brad Noyes

I didn't think it was possible. But using source rpms is a greate idea, and may be a way around it. using rpm is a must (it's not my desision), so using .app packages would not work, at least for me.

I don't think this is possible with binary RPM's, but you could distribute the source RPM, assuming the installees have the resources to compile the app in question. The only OS I've ever personally encountered that does this is NeXT/OpenSTEP, which has .app packages, which are actually just binaries, libraries, pixmaps, and various other program resources stored in a directory hierarchy. "Fat" .app's contained both i386 and m68k binaries. It may be possible to use this format on other platforms... check out GNUSTEP and Darwin. http://www.gnustep.org/ http://developer.apple.com/darwin/ Nate -- Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you. -- Aldous Huxley
