Good Bye for a While
by Chadley Wilson
Greetings,
Sadly I am leaving the Fedora list for a while, I have a new task with
SUSE 9.1 which our company needs to R&D. I will be back I am guessing in
about three months, Hopefully sooner,
To All those who have assisted me I am truly grateful
I have learnt more being on this list than any other list I have joined.
Keep up the good work, keep helping each other out Linux is about to
punch a huge hole in the SA market, and I mean HUGE.
Thank You All,
You're a Great Bunch you are!

DRAC question
by Jake McHenry
I have sendmail using DRAC for anti relaying. All of my remote sites work fine except for one, if they receive their mail first they can then send. But at this one office, all the computer keep getting this error:
The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. The rejected e-mail address was 'whatever(a)mydomain.com'. Subject 'test', Account: 'nittany travel', Server: 'nittanytravel.com', Protocol: SMTP, Server Response: '550 5.7.1 <whatever(a)mydomain.com>... Relaying denied. IP name possibly forged [x.x.x.x]', Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 550, Error Number: 0x800CCC79
This error message happens with any mail bound for an external server. Internal mail works fine.
If i put their address into the access file, then it works ok, but that is the whole point of using DRAC, right?
Any ideas?
Thanks,

This is why I prefaced my reply with "Maybe it will work for you"
With this in mind, I never had a problem with case sensitivity regarding
"testing" e-mail addresses. I always listed them in lowercase in the access
file while exchange could reference SCowles(a)MyDomain.com. But then I was
never submitting the inbound e-mail to procmail for local delivery.
Long pause...
I just tested delivery to a local mailbox account on my postfix server. I
use this local account to feed/train Spamassassin bayes databse. I used both
upper and lower case. i.e. spam(a)mydomain.com and Spam(a)MyDomain.com. Both got
delivered to the same mailbox. Give it a try at your end.

Pedro's advice is sound.
If the objective is to get Apache 2.0 running, it's a fairly
straightforward process. Here's what I did to get it going before the
official Fedora package was available.
1. Download the httpd package from apache.org
2. Download the necessary GCC packages (there are several). This was
actually done at installation because I knew I needed GCC for other
things.
3. Install GCC and unpack the httpd source.
4. Install the kernel-source package for the kernel you are running.
4. In the httpd directory that's created look at INSTALL-SOURCE. This
has instructions for a quick, simple installation.
5. Run ./configure (to create a customized makefile)
6. Run make (to build the software)
7. Run make install (to install it in /usr/local/apache2)
8. /usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start gets you going with a basic
configuration. All this should be done as root.
The plain install won't set up the links you may want in the init.d
directory hierarchy (so httpd won't show up in redhat-config-services) and
it won't appear when you query your RPM database. But it will be there
and you can run it just fine. If you want the niceties done for you, use
the Fedora package you can get via yum.

FC2 media check fails on one system
by RDD IT
Hello --
My first attempt to install FC2 failed during the installation of packages,
with an error message that a particular package could not be found. I
rebooted, and tested the installation media -- it failed. Stupid me, I
should have done that before. Burned a new CD, tested it -- failed.
Downloaded the ISO again, checked the MD5, burned a new CD, tested it --
failed. Hmmm... Pop the CD in another machine, reboot, test the media --
PASS! Switched out the CD-ROM drives between the two machines, so that the
one that had passed the CD was now in my FC2-ToBe machine. Boot up, test
media -- fail.
So.....apparently FC2 does not like something about my machine's hardware..?
Have other people experienced similar issues? Are there known issues with
certain types of hardware -- particular hard drives, motherboards, CPUs,
etc. that FC2 is not compatible with? I can post more detailed specs on the
system later if needed (at work now)... There is nothing terribly outdated
about it, and it all worked fine on RH9.0.
Thanks a lot for any help!

installing invisible True Type fonts
by Art Ped
Hi everyone
I've just copied some TTFs into
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
then did a
ttmkfdir > fonts.dir
cp fonts.dir fonts.scale
chkfontpath --add /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/TTF
/etc/rc.d/init.d/xfs restart
to install the new fonts, and got no error messages.
However, I still can't use these fonts at all - they
don't show up anywhere.
How do I install fonts so that I can use them, for
example in OpenOffice, and where am I going wrong?
Thanks for your time.

Difficulties disabling the screensaver
by Doru-Catalin Togea
Hi!
I have run xscreensaver-demo and configured the system to only use the
jigsaw screensaver and have it read random images from a directory. It
works great, but I am not able to disable the screensaver, or to change it
to something else.
1) There is no "Screensaver" entry under my "Preferences" meny in KDE.
Should there be one, or is it only in Gnome?
2) I have a .xscreensaver file, but I guess editing it by hand is not
advisible. How can I set the screensaver to "Blank the screen" foe
example? "xset s off" and "xset s blank" does not work.
3) How does the screensaver relate to DPMS? I have the following in my
.xscreensaver:
dpmsEnabled: False
dpmsStandby: 2:00:00
dpmsSuspend: 2:00:00
dpmsOff: 4:00:00
Thanks,
Catalin
