Hello, I am using A/UX 2.0 and am attached to an Ethernet. I cannot figure out how to configure Sendmail so I can send mail to other Machines on the net. (I can receive mail ok and I can telnet to other machines ok, so the basic networking stuff works fine). I am not running a Name Server, but do use a host table. Post a message to any of the neighboring machines and I get a "Host Name Lookup Failure". Another problem that needs to be overcome is that nonlocal mail needs to be forwarded to a particular machine on our net (the "mail host"). Can somebody suggest a *.cf file which will solve my problem? ********************************************************** Problem 2. I have installed the latest Apple X11R4 release. I need the bsd style "install" program so I can (relatively easily) compile and install other X stuff. Is there a site that has the X source tree available for ftp or at least the bsd compatible "install" program for the Mac. ********************************************************** Problem 3. Has anybody "compiled" Xview under a/ux 2.0, if so are there any gotcha's,bewares, or hints to the naive? (the olwm stuff was relatively straight forward modulo having to write shell scripts to translate the bsd install command parameters to the A/UX equivalent install parameters.) *********************************************************** Thanks for the help Jerry ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jerry LeVan | Phone:(606)-622-1931 | | Department of Computer Science | | | Eastern Kentucky University | Email:matlevan@eku.bitnet | | Richmond Ky 40475 | | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------| | "The series converges so slowly that it actually diverges." | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our sendmail won't run without a name server somewhere on the network to attach to.

(sigh) } My port of sendmail 5.64 includes hacks that allow sendmail to look in /etc/hosts if the nameserver query fails (either because the server couldn't find the hostname (you used an alias defined in /etc/hosts) or if the server isn't running. Pre 2.0 versions of A/UX's sendmail did a similar thing... It's available via anon-ftp on jagubox :) -- =========================================================================== #include <std/disclaimer.h> =:^) Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 711.4 jim@jagubox.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 "If we increase the size of the penguin until it is the same height as a man and then compare the relative brain size, we know find that the penguin's brain is still smaller.

(sigh) Ours neither. I run sendmail from A/UX 1.1 for that reason. -- -Charlie Neil (chn@lanl.gov) Los Alamos National Laboratory (505) 665-0978
