Uploading our Source to some site
by Rishi Gangoly 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Hi We've developed and released some software on GNU/Linux which is licensed with GPL and I wanted to upload it to some website like SourceForge for the world to access and 'hopefully' benefit. ;-) Anyone on this list done it before? Anyone care to share their experiences before I take the plunge? ;-) Are there other sites that I should submit it to that would help the community? Regards Rishi

Help me out Sendmail Guru's
by Paresh N Patel 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Hi All: I am working on securing sendmail server and facing some problem. Below are more details about my server setup and configuration. I am using Red Hat Linux distro with sendmail version 8.12.10. On sendmail server, I had turn on LOGIN and PLAIN authentication mechanism, so that people who are using outlook express or Mozilla can successfully able to authenticate and able to send mail using my sendmail SMTP. I am having no problem at all with sendmail everything is working fine. My users are able to successfully authenticate and send and receive mail using my SMTP / POP3. Now, I have two users named Jack and Jill Jack has configured his outlook express with his profile and email id as jack(a)mydomain.com. While specifying SMTP server he has selected option "My Server requires Authentication " Now he creates a mail and tries to send it. He is prompted to specify user id and password for authenticating at my SMTP server. He puts his userid - jack and his password - ****. And mail is successfully delivered. The restriction I want to put in sendmail is as below. ===================================== Jack creates another mail and tries to send it. Again he is prompted to specify user id and password for authenticating at my SMTP server. Now this time he puts jill's userid and jill's password- ****. The SMTP server authenticates and accepts mail delivery. I don't want to allow jack(a)mydomain.com user to use authentication credential of any other user and able to delivery mail. I must check that if the username, which is being authenticated, is jack then the email address must contain jacks (ie jack(a)mydomain.com). Else don't accept mail delivery. ================== when I opened sendmail.cf I found something like this. But failed to manage what I want to do. ###################################################################### ### trust_auth: is user trusted to authenticate as someone else? ### Parameters: ### $1: AUTH= parameter from MAIL command ###################################################################### SLocal_trust_auth Strust_auth R$* $: $&{auth_type} $| $1 # required by RFC 2554 section 4. R$@ $| $* $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 not authenticated" R$* $| $&{auth_authen} $@ identical R$* $| <$&{auth_authen}> $@ identical R$* $| $* $: $1 $| $>"Local_trust_auth" $2 R$* $| $#$* $#$2 R$* $#error $@ 5.7.1 $: "550 " $&{auth_authen} " not allowed to act as " $&{auth_author} ############# Can anyone give me hint as I don't know to play with sendmail rule sets.

Thanks Chirag, The networking problem in VMware is resolved. I did exactly as you said, the subnet was the problem. Now I can do this in VMware for Linux also.

Hi, > But I cannot configure Networking to connect My Host PC (Win XP) > with the virtual Linux machine..... Try the following: Create your virtual machine with host-only networking. Use ipconfig on Windows to check the IP address that vmware has automatically assigned to VMNet1 - say it's 192.168.11.1. When setting up the Linux box make sure you assign the network card a static IP on the same subnet - say 192.168.11.10 and make sure the subnet is set to 255.255.255.0. (I presume the problem you were having was due to this - i.e. mismatching subnets) That's all there is to it - at least it works for me :-) I also tend to put the virtual machine name & IP into my \WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file to allow me to use it by name.

Installing linux on DELL Inspiron 1100 Laptop
by Salil Wadhavkar 27 Feb '04

27 Feb '04

Hi everyone I am Salil, presently in Philadelphia but originally from Mumbai. I am a complete newbie to Linux. I have a Dell Inspiron Laptop 1100 with windows XP as the OS. I wish to install Linux on it but keep XP. I do not have a floopy drive on my computer. Is it possible to install Linux without having to uninstall XP? What is the best way to proceed? The reason I don't want to uninstall XP is that certain hardware (Wireless LAN Adapter - TrueMobile 1300 802.11g made by Broadcomm) and power management features are not supported on Linux platform. Some wireless LAN card driver is out there but it is commercial and expensive. Can someone help ? Thank you. Regards, Salil.

Networking in VMware....
by suhas prabhu 26 Feb '04

26 Feb '04

Dear Friends, Last week I tried the VMware Workstation 4 software on Windows XP ( Appologies to all Microsoft Haters...). I created a virtual machine with a network adapter and loaded RedHat Linux 9 on it. But I cannot configure Networking to connect My Host PC (Win XP) with the virtual Linux machine. I tried Bridge Networking and also Host-Only Networking Options but Nothing seems to work. The linuxVirtual Machine configures the NIC perfectly. I gave it a static IP address which works but with DHCP it does not get any IP address ( No link present....). Also with static IP address it does not ping to my Host PC. I read the VMware manual but found no detailed explaination of the networking Part. I also have VMware WS 4 for Linux/UNIX Host but it does not install correctly on RedHat Linux 9, maybe the installer package is corrupt... It would be nice if someone can give me any pointers or details of how exactly networking is configured in VMware WS 4 between a virtual machine and a physical machine. Thanking in advance, Regards, Suhas Yahoo! India Insurance Special: Be informed on the best policies, services, tools and more.
