[cobalt-users] Sendmail errors (Bayhawk)

["Bayhawk" <bayhawk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

***Well, for one, 777 *is* group writable, and world writable...you wanted
***something like 644

***The REAL question you should be asking yourself is , HOW did they get
this
***way? These files shouldn't just magiclly become accessible to everyone...

***Not to make you panic, but it has been known for machines to get hacked
***for the purposes of sending spam....

**gsh


I must not of explained myself properly. Send mail will not start. When you
try to start it the error you get is the one i listed..
I changed to files to 777 to attempt to combat the error.. There was no
hacking.. not that i can tell.
Im hoping someone is familiar with this error, or has seen it before..

Here is my RaQ3 log from my last reboot:

It certainly looks like the drive in your box can handle more than 33MHz

Hi Dan,

Thanks for that - worked like a dream.

One note, though - for "Archival Posterity", so to speak - my access.conf
file had *two* "AllowOverride None" directives in it - if you only edit the
first one, the  second one will override it, and you will be banging your
head against the keyboard for an hour and a half before you realise that
there's a second one :-)

Cheers,
               Dave

Subject: [cobalt-users] Domain Pointers and Mail
Reply-To: cobalt-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I have a requirement to set up domain pointers.

I think one way to do it is create Cname records that point to
the virtual site?

I also beleive I can have an mx record for the "point from"
domains refer to the mail server name for the "point to" name?

So, if that's the case where is the incoming mail stored?
Does the catch all account on the "point to" account get all
mail from the "point from" domains?

I have this feeling I've painted myself into a corner.

Thanks

All of those contributions were pretty much in one or two threads, so they
should be easy to find in the archives. Mine you're going to have to look
for, or it's gone forever. I'm currently having a hard enough time trying
to keep my own head above water to worry about Cobalt's problems.

My mother has Ethernet wired into every room in her house, with everything
behind a Linux firewall I setup for her. She's on a static IP, and the
firewall has never seen a scan in the six months it's been up.

It's quite simple... if you trust your provider to be an ethical, honest
company, then by all means give them the list, since ARIN has for a while
done this kind of thing. I think that policy is now under review, but you
shouldn't have a problem giving them the list of customers you serve.

OTOH, if you *don't* have trust and faith in your provider's ethical
structure you shouldn't give them the list... but then, why would you do
business with them?

It will.

The lack of responses means:

* no one knows
* no one has run into the problem
* no one has had time to respond
* no one likes you
* no one has Qube2's or uses them with modems
* no one saw your post

I had a Qube2 with a modem for a short while last year; worked fine. I also
have a Qube2 as a LAN gateway; works fine. I didn't answer because I'm
short of time and had nothing to add anyway. Talk to Cobalt, explore some
stuff on your own, etc.

I've found most of them...and have forwarded same

Well, End of Life is a Fact of Life...and undone things are not Cobalt's

I wasn't impugning the list, and I have been exploring on my own: I've been
talking to Cobalt, I've been searching the cobalt-users archives, and I've
been scouring Usenet archives. The articles I found point to a kernel
problem, but since there were only a handful of them, I'm sure Sun/Cobalt
has better things to do than fix it. A modem LAN gateway is not very
satisfactory anyhow, and in my case, is an interim solution until Verizon
gets its thumb out and provides my client with a T1.

That really is none of their business!.  The contract is with you and only
you.
Your customers are just that - your customers.  If you purchase what you use
then
so what?  I feel that they are up to something.  For example, many of my
client
domain names are registered with my e-mail address.  I get many "come host
with
us" offers from Register.com, Tucows.com, BulkRegister.com, etc...   Now, I
see
that Network Solutions is trying to host clients at the time of
registration.
They are making it harder for us to just register and change the DNS
settings.
So far, I have not received any "switch to us" offers from Network Solutions
via
e-mail.
