qmake, if me not wrong, is part of qt3, you got an error ocz, might be that qt3 is not yet installed in your system... so if you know how to urpmi, try to install those listed package first, in order for you to build that source software...

#urpmi.update -a -v ( it will update all your urpmi sources)

#urpmi qt3 libusb g++ (this will install the listed package, if package name are correct)

ok, I solved the problem, I guess, for a while... what I did was, Installed the courier-authlib that comes from the contrib, then download the latest courier-imap source from sourceforge and rpmbuild it. These solves the conflict between courier-imap and courier authlib.. the latest courier-imap that I downloaded from sourceforge is ver. 4.0.3 and it did not conflict with the courier-authlib (0.55) that comes from contrib when installed, but the courier-imap ver 3.xx currently in contrib really impossible to install due to conflicts that I encountered as mentioned above....

maybe that package should be updated on MDVLE2005

:)

I am trying to install the package courier-imap, though I am able to install it, when trying to install the package courier-autlib-mysql, i got problem.. see below

urpmi courier-authlib-mysql

The following packages have to be removed for others to be upgraded:

courier-imap-3.0.8-5mdk.i586 (due to conflicts with courier-authdaemond)

courier-imap-mysql-3.0.8-5mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied courier-imap == 3.0.8-5mdk)

courier-imap-pop-3.0.8-5mdk.i586 (due to unsatisfied courier-imap == 3.0.8-5mdk) (y/N) n

I had just configure urpmi media awhile ago, i add the main, updates and contrib... also I remove my cd drive so there is no local media involved, anyway, courier is in contrib..

how should I fix this? when I say yes on that, courier will become useless

a help is very much appreciated.. TIA

edit: I have done this on a centos box, though I have to build those package from source, but it works, now I'd like to try it on mandriva2005, coz I found out that almost all packages that I needed are already there in the contrib... so I wont need to build those package from source again...

try to insert the config below in your /etc/postfix/main.cf file

########################################

smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes

smtpd_sasl2_auth_enable = yes

smtpd_sasl_security_options =noanonymous

broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes

smtpd_sasl_local_domain =$myhostname

smtpd_recipient_restrictions =

permit_sasl_authenticated

permit_mynetworks

reject_unauth_destination

########################################

and also, make sure that you started saslauthd service everytime your box start

or start it manually, as root #/etc/init.d/saslauthd start

also, check what is the content of your /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf and /usr/lib/sasl2/smtpd.conf

you can put at pwcheck_method =

saslauthd or you can put pam

that is because if you can send mail from outside your network, you will become an open relay server, and spammers will be the first one to use you to spread their spam. POstfix by default install, is already secured as to be not an open relay. You should enable smtp-auth to be able to relay mail outside your network. Refer to postfix documentation about it

config file of http : /etc/httpd/conf

try the httpd or httpd2 and commonhttpd.conf

to monitor or administer http and mysql, try webmin

or in your konsole, try to

#netstat -an | grep tcp

and post if here

you have linux, then try to install postfix in you box, that would allow you to send email, if you ISP did not block port 25... basic guide here http://www.postfix.org/BASIC_CONFIGURATION_README.html

or maybe postfix is already running on your box, you just dont notice it, check

$netstat -an | grep tcp

if you'll see something like 0.0.0.0:25 then an mta or postfix is running in your box, just waiting to be configured.

btw, if you are using mandrake, postfix is the default mta or mail transfer agent, in Redhat or Fedora, its sendmail i think if im not wrong

edit: you may try this http://yahoopops.sourceforge.net/index.php

AussieJohn, I followed the way you do it, but how come that the size has no other option?, its only 16, any idea on this.. i am using kde3.4 thacs version on 10.1

TIA

thanks for the kind offer daniewicz, but nevermind, that box belongs to a client of mine anyway... I am just the one maintaining it, well, my client purchase a pc333 DDR-RAM and combining both works fine..

thanks again

I know, its not really linux related, but since I used linux on the box where I will install this, so I'll ask it here anyway.

I have this box that has only 128mb DDR pc 266 memory, and I am planning to put on it additional memory, but pc 266 DDR is very difficult to find, I can only find pc333, is it possible to add this pc333, even if the other RAM is a pc266?

TIA

you mean, you cant ping as a regular user, try to change the security level, try to set it to standard if you are using the box as desktop... mcc-security-level&check

from your pm:

some apache tutorials try here

If you have not installed yet your mysql, try to install it using MCC - Software - or if you have a konsole open, as root, type#drakrpm

Im not a coder, so I just manage mysql using phpmyadmin or from you webmin also

I just took a quick tour of your website. Do you use Webmin?

I'm not using webmin, but its a good gui tool, not only for http, but for other services that are installed in your linux system

Do I need to be logged on as root to run the server?

You can set you http server to run as your computer start... open Mandrake Control Center - System - services, there you can set those installed services to run during start-up, including mysql, if installed already...of course as root...but you can have some users to start-stop services using sudo. ( more info on sudo... suggestion: try google first, lots you can finde there)

Also, if I register a domain name, all I need to do is change the name in the config file? Don't I need some kind of authentication?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

yeah change the server name on that config file of apache...

Authentication? well, before you can point your IP on that domain name, you should logon first on your domain name provider...

I only used dynamic dns, http://dyndns.org... before I can avail there service, I should login first then use their service

the test page resides at /var/www/html, so you can put your index.html or all html files that you want to be seen in your web server there, either rename or replaced the existing index.html that contains the test page with your own created html page

yeah, I saw that link and this http://www.qmailrocks.org, maybe on the other box, I should try qmail combination

finally, after several days, or I think, its been weeks of struggling to setup my email server... I decided and able to made it... Courier-IMAP-Postfix-Virtual-Users/domain-mysql - squirrelMail - on a centos4 box, the hard part is that I was forced to rpm build on some of the package especially courier, If only I used mandrake as the host, It might be easy coz almost all of courier has its rpm for mandrake already, anyway I did'nt do it myself... the guides I found had been very helpful on what I wanted it to be

try to #netstat -lp | grep tcp -it will list the ports and services listening on it, but if you have a firewall or netfilter running on that box, you wouldnt have to worry...... atleast, the hacker would find your OS hard to guess, though you are running linux, but he wont be able to find what distro you are using... I guess you're running mandrake and nmap guess it as gentoo.. :P

if you are running x, try to open MCC - Systems - services, here you can uncheck those services u dont need to run and stop it. If you prefered CLI, use the chkconfig utility... #chkconfig --list listdown running services on different init level...just man chkconfig for more commands available or just type #chkconfig ..it will show you the usage

if u have'nt visited this yet, you may try.. http://pag.csail.mit.edu/~adonovan/hacks/ipod.html

In my box, there's no xinetd.conf , but there is a folder /etc/xinetd.d/ and those services that has been controlled by xinetd can be found under that folder, there, you can edit that particular file, like for example in my box fam is enable and the /etc/xinetd.d/fam file looks like

# default: on
# description: FAM is a file monitoring daemon. It can # be used to get reports when files change.

service sgi_fam
{
   disable             = no
   type                = RPC UNLISTED
   rpc_version         = 2
   rpc_number          = 391002
   socket_type         = stream
   protocol            = tcp
   wait                = yes
   user                = root
   group               = nogroup
   server              = /usr/sbin/famd
   bind                = 127.0.0.1
   flags               = NOLIBWRAP
}

to disalbe it here, just set disable = yes

#chmod o-wr -R .../private

sorry for this kristi, It should be

[root@c-65-96-162-92 ~]#chmod o-wr -R /var/spool/postfix/private

without / at the end, so rw on all files on it will be remove.... but....., though I did that yesterday and succesfully altered the file permission, just a while ago, when I checked that files, all of the files are now world writable again, might be that the default permision of those files are 777 and when the system rebooted, it just reset back to its default, but why msec alerted me as security warning, does msec dont know how to recognize the default permissions of the system, of I just dont know what Im doing?

backup your /home coz here, all user preferences are stored,... also, try to backp your /etc

those files are owned by user/group postfix, so #chmod o-wr -R .../private, I just remove the RW capability of others on that dir and all files on it... thus leaving it RW of user/group postfix..

anyway, what do u mean by "I blieve, that's correct" Kristi, you mean, thus files should be world writable?

got this security warning from msec, just dont know how come they became world writable.... #chmod o-wr them anyway... but should those files be world writable?
