Your other solution might be to bribe a member of wlug to make a copy of their 7.3 disks in exchange for a free beer after the meeting tonight. unfortunately, 1. I don't drink beer and 2. I won't be able to attend, otherwise I'd make a copy for you...

Usually the software has a "burn from image" or "burn from master" option that lets you select a file and burn that to a cd. -- Randomly Generated Tagline: "The Beatles used more hair products then Jesus." - Rusty McGee

You need to setup virtual hosting. I don't actually use the RH default sendmail (I roll my own), but I believe the default one already has virtual hosting enabled. What you'd need to do is: 1) Edit /etc/mail/local-host-names and add "host1.com" and "host2.com" (this should already be done actually.) 2) Edit /etc/mail/virtusertable and add: @host1.com error:nouser User unknown sales(a)host1.com user1 @host2.com error:nouser User unknown sales(a)host2.com user2 3) cd /etc/mail && make Theoretically, that should be all you need to do. You can test via "sendmail -bv". For instance: "sendmail -bv 'theo(a)vandinter.org'" returns "theo(a)vandinter.org... deliverable: mailer local, user felicity" for me. You'll need to do more work if virtusertable isn't already configured for your sendmail.

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?

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
