Postfix sender address
by bsamuels＠beenthere-donethat.org.uk 25 Feb '04

25 Feb '04

I'm running Postfix under Debian (Testing). At present I use an option in my mailer to translate my senders local address to the address I want but I'd prefer to have it done by Postfix. I want barry@localdomain to be translated to barry(a)beenthere-donethat.org.uk I looked through the Postfix documentation and assumed that I need to use the /etc/postfix/canonical file. I have tried the following entries: barry@localdomain barry(a)beenthere-donethat.org.uk @localdomain beenthere-donethat.org.uk None of these work. I still get the included sender address as barry@localdomain. I did remember to run postmap /etc/postfix/canonical and to be on the safe side I also ran postfix reload. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Barry Samuels http://www.beenthere-donethat.org.uk The Unofficial Guide to Great Britain

24 Feb '04

Has anybody else had persistent trouble trying to download firefox 0.8 from the official website. I haven't been able to do it for more than two weeks now. I keep getting timed out on the server. I initially thought this might be a short-lived problem, but it has persisted for a long time now. Can anyone offer advice about this? -- Regards, Bryce.

Any ssh experts around?
by Chris Green 23 Feb '04

23 Feb '04

I'm trying to set up an ssh connection to a remote system where I have a shell login account and I can't get it to do RSA (or DSA) authentication and not askk me for a password. I have a number of other logins where the passwordless login works fine. If I turn debugging on (with -vvv) the sequence up to where it demands a password is:- debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password debug3: preferred publickey,keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /home/chris/.ssh/id_rsa debug3: send_pubkey_test debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug1: Offering public key: /home/chris/.ssh/id_dsa debug3: send_pubkey_test debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password debug2: we did not send a packet, disable method debug3: authmethod_lookup password debug3: remaining preferred: ,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled password debug1: Next authentication method: password On a very similar system where the passwordless login works I get:- debug1: Authentications that can continue: publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug3: start over, passed a different list publickey,password,keyboard-interactive debug3: preferred publickey,keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_lookup publickey debug3: remaining preferred: keyboard-interactive,password debug3: authmethod_is_enabled publickey debug1: Next authentication method: publickey debug1: Offering public key: /home/chris/.ssh/id_rsa debug3: send_pubkey_test debug2: we sent a publickey packet, wait for reply debug1: Server accepts key: pkalg ssh-rsa blen 149 So, why doesn't the first one work? I think I've set everything up but I may have missed something obvious. Any ideas anyone? -- Chris Green (chris(a)areti.co.uk)

by Bryce Martin 21 Feb '04

21 Feb '04

For some reason I can't solve a problem I have with Kmail on my laptop which gives the following error every time I try to mail or reply someone. The server did not accept the sender address. The server responded: "Invalid extension (Martin) " The message will stay in the 'outbox' folder until you either fix the problem (e.g. a broken address) or remove the message from the 'outbox' folder. Note: Other messages will also be blocked by this message, as long as it is in the 'outbox' folder The following transport protocol was used: ntlworld Can you help me resolve this problem? I can recieve mail using Kmail, but not send a thing!!! Regards, Bryce ===== ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Firebird -> Firefox
by Ben Francis 21 Feb '04

21 Feb '04

I'm sure a lot of people already know about this, I may even have missed it being discussed already. Mozilla's stand alone browser, Firebird has recently been renamed... again. The name change is because of a clash with the open source database project of the same name and hopefully we'll get to stick with this one. Mozilla Firefox as it is now known is my browser of choice in both Windows and GNU/Linux so I just thought I'd make sure people were up to date with the latest news. The press release linked to below gives more details about the most recently added features. http://www.mozilla.org/press/mozilla-2004-02-09.html Keep geeking. -- Ben "tola" Francis | 00101010 tola ^/. http://hippygeek.co.uk | mailto:tola@imen.org.uk opinions expressed are of the voices in my head only
