proxy & firewall
by T Roy 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

1. i wanted to know names of some good free proxy servers and also how to configure Mozilla for the same. 2. how to know that all my data is going through the proxy. can any tool like 'tcpdump' help ? 2. also how to get the Internet Firewall working( i am using RH 8.0 ). 3. how to know whether the firewall is working or not. any tools ? 4. One last question, i know i shouldnt be asking on this list, but then i am sure many people on this list use windows. i got infected by 'msblast.exe' and my Windows Management Instrumentation(WMI) seems to be screwed up, for which i cannot activate internet firewall( so i cant download DCOM patch from microsoft site ) nor can i do a system restore. my windows partition(Windows XP Professional) is disconnected from the internet and i have removed all traces of msblast.exe( ie /windows/system32 and registry ) but WMI just doesnt seem to work. Any suggestions ?? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com

Qmail forwarding some email
by Subba Rao 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

Hi, I have never done this before with Qmail. There is some email that I receive which I would like to be forwarded to a different email address. How can this be done in Qmail? If this cannot be done, I can use procmail to copy to the other address. However I would like to use Qmail to do it. Any information and pointers appreciated. Thank you in advance. -- Subba Rao subba9(a)cablespeed.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old American Wild West saying: God created men but Colt made them equal.

Sound card driver problems in Linux Mandrake
by daneel＠mail.utexas.edu 18 Aug '03

18 Aug '03

Hi, I have recently installed the open source distro of Linux Mandrake on my IBM Thinkpad 770Z Laptop on a journalised ext3 partition together with win XP on an NTFS partition. My soundcard is a crystal Semiconductors cirrus logic card whose specs are given below: Cirrus CS4610/1 CrystalClear SoundFusion Audio The mandrake conf tool says that the required driver is labelled cs46xx, and that it has been moduled in the kernel, but I am getting no sounds at all. The hardware is fine, because I get sound when I boot to XP. The dmesg output says that my drivers are not moduled in the kernel. Therefore, I did make xconfig and looked it up. I moduled the relevant drivers and did make dep, make modules, make modules_install etc and created new boot images and recompiled. The recompiled kernel clobbered my linux as I could not access any services at all, let alone sound. I restored the earlier images and kernel files from backups and was able to restore my system to it's original configuration, but still not getting any sound. Since I am new to Linux, I do not know details about linux kernels and how to compile them properly, despite my following the LINUX KERNEL HOWTO doc to the hilt. I am in dire need of assistance from a more knowledgeable linux user/administrator who can instruct me on what to do. Thanks, AR

Help 4 Mandrake 7.0 Installation
by Linlov L 17 Aug '03

17 Aug '03

Dear Linuxers, I wish to install Mandrake Linux 7.0 I have partitioned drives C and D on which I have WIN ME. I tried 2 install Lnx4win on drive D but the msg say that since WIN ME does NOT hve REAL MS DOS, the installation CANNOT proceed. For that, I need Win98 for Lnx4win to be installed. The other option is to install it directly by rebooting. Since I dont knw much about partitions etc. I cannot proceed because I get stuck at the installation dialog box that aks me to choose the drive where I wanna install Linux. However, it also warns that UNLESS I'm comfy with Partitions etc I should not fiddle around because all data might be erased. And the confusion about Mount point, Resize precludes me from going ahead with the installation. I wish to retain WIN ME and other important data on drive C and yet have Mandrake on D. How do I go about it? I wud appreciate any help in this regard. Thanks in advance. Linlov. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
