It only receives and sends e-mail and has no user components. You do not interact with sendmail when you're reading your e-mail - sendmail has already passed it off to a mail delivery agent (MDA) which has stored the message somewhere. You then run a mail user agent (MUA) like evolution, mutt, pine, etc. It's the MUA that decides to delete or keep your read e-mail or mark it read/unread. What application are you starting up to read your e-mail? Are you reading via local files, pop, or imap? > There's absolutely no messagebox file like there should be in > /var/spool/mail. So what happened to those messages? are they deleted as > soon as read ? There are a lot of variables - if you read via pop with a delete after read setting, then yes, they may have been deleted. -- Ed Wilts, RHCE Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program ------------------------------ Message: 6 Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 12:21:22 -0500 From: Ed Wilts <ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Router/Firewall Recommendation To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <20040623172122.GB27056@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii On Wed, Jun 23, 2004 at 11:48:23AM -0500, Otto Haliburton wrote: > > NAT will only protect you from inbound new connections.

You have some control on the outbound ports on the Linksys routers but nowhere near what you can get with iptables. If you want to, for example, restrict outbound port 80 to www.microsoft.com, it's much harder to do at the Linksys level, if it's even possible. > > Personally, I use a Linksys router/firewall with some predetermined > > ports forwarded to my Linux system (none to my Windows systems) and add > > tcpwrappers to restrict which hosts are actually allowed to use that > > service.

Not all of your computers are behind > the linksys firewall and that is the problem!!!!! I have my systems behind the Linksys firewall but it forwards a few ports to my server.

I maybe wrong but this sort of thing has all ways been accomplished with a proxy server, but I don't know.

RPM created. This will use /etc/dkms/template-dkms-mkrpm.spec and create an RPM. This RPM will contain a DKMS tarball with the module source and, in this case, precompiled binaries for the 3 kernels I specified. When installed on the end users system, it will load the tarball and install the prebuilts. If it then sees that the currently running kernel does not have this module installed, it will kick off a dkms build and dkms install to ensure that it does. Alternatively, if DKMS finds a file /usr/src/<module>-<version>/<module>-dkms-mkrpm.spec, it will use that spec file instead of the template in /etc/dkms/. This is useful if you need to modify the template spec to change the License, etc, etc. ### Making Red Hat Driver Disks ### 1. Download and install at least dkms-1.92 (its a testing versions, bugs may happen) 2. Get a module which has been dkms-ified (has a dkms.conf) For example: http://download.qlogic.com/drivers/18277/qla2x00-v6.07.02-1dkms.tgz 3. dkms add -m <module> -v <version> 4. dkms build -m <module> -v <version> -k <kernel1> -a <arch1> dkms build -m <module> -v <version> -k <kernel2> -a <arch1> dkms build -m <module> -v <version> -k <kernel2> -a <arch2> 5. dkms mkdriverdisk -d redhat2 -m <module> -v <version> --all That's it. It will create a driver disk image which can be used during Red Hat install time to supercede drivers in the kernel. If you want to stick with the old RH driver disk format, just specify -d redhat1. Or, you can specify -d redhat and it will pick which one to use (with prejudice to the old format) depending on whether you have specified multiple different architectures.

The install was easy and the software is excellent. Bummer that they basically doubled their license fees during the last major virus infestation, though. - Mark ----- mark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx ------------------------------ Message: 22 Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 16:35:02 -0700 (PDT) From: Carl Riches <riches@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: Inheriting group ownership under Red Hat Linux? To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.58.0406231626310.29668@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII We are running into a problem that did not occur under our Unix systems: inheriting group ownership on files. The problem is that a file created in a directory does not inherit the group ownership of the directory. Rather it gets the group ownership of the user that created the file. Under our other Unix systems, a file would get the group ownership of the directory where it was created. For example, let's say that there is directory: drwxrwxr-x 2 root fugroup 4096 Jun 8 11:45 fubar/ Let's say that user "riches" creates a file in directory fubar/. The primary group for user "riches" is "staff", but that user also belongs to "fugroup" and can write to the fubar/ directory. The file created in that directory is owned by "riches:staff", not "riches:fugroup". This breaks some things, e.g. file sharing between a working group. Does anyone know how to work around this? That is, is this a known problem or do we have some sort of configuration problem? Thanks, Carl Carl G.

In fact, we discovered the problem when a working group tried to use a shared directory (via NFS) under Linux and under Unix. Files touched by one user under Linux could not be used by any other user, while work done under Unix did not have this problem. I just tried your suggestion. It failed. I created a directory with me as the owner and a secondary group to which I belong as the group owner. I then ran "chmod 1775" on the directory. Any file I create in that directory has my primary group as the group owner. How do I get the files to inherit the group ownership of the directory. Carl Carl G.

Solaris works the same as RH. Anyway, use "chmod 2775 dir_name" (not 1775 which sets suid) That sets the directory to SGID and will result in any files or sub-dirs created within 'dir_name' will have the creators owner and the directories group. If you prefer letters instead of the nuimber permissions, it is "chmod g+s dir_name" You may also want to run over the existing files with "chown -R group_name dir_name" -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce ------------------------------ Message: 26 Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 20:32:22 -0700 From: Pete Nesbitt <pete@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Iptables: port 22 open only for my IP To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <200406232032.22057.pete@xxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" On June 23, 2004 02:16 am, Khan wrote: > What will be the best way to put one more Ip adrress to: > > # Accept local (192.168.5.0/24) SSH traffic > $IPT -A INPUT -m state -p tcp --dport 22 ! --state INVALID -s > 192.168.5.0/24 -j ACCEPT > $IPT -A OUTPUT -m state -p tcp --sport 22 --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -d > 192.168.5.0/24 -j ACCEPT > > TNX Hi, I think you'll need to repeat the entries because the -s option does not accept a list, just a single ip (or host) or a single network/mask entry. -- Pete Nesbitt, rhce ------------------------------ Message: 27 Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2004 20:48:34 -0700 From: Pete Nesbitt <pete@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: Re: Please help as soon as possible To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list <redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Message-ID: <200406232048.34534.pete@xxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" On June 23, 2004 09:05 am, Nitin wrote: > I'm talking about server side of my sendmail.
