- OK,
-
- I was wrong, I found CNEWS is disk 8 of SLS4. Sorry Pete... Now,
- for a few questions.
-
- The first thing I am trying to do now that I've got A/B/C disks
- installed and v.99 running is to get mail up and going. Then I
- figure I'll try news. I'm having some problems.
-
- 1. When I installed set B of the disks, I got an error during the
- smail install to the effect that it couldn't symlink /usr/bin/smail
- to /bin/rmail. I remembered from my days as a sysadmin that this was
- needed for smail to run, so I renamed /bin/rmail to /bin/OLDrmail,
- and symlinked smail to rmail. No sweat.
-
- 2. When I send mail, either through /bin/mail, or using elm, my
- message gets gonked. Elm and mail think it's fine, but they end up
- in the DLO. If I look at the /usr/spool/smail/log/logfile file, I
- find that during the sending of the message, this error happens.
-
- ..... failed: (ERR_143) transport uux: process killed by signal 11
-
- Then a message gets sent back to me stating the message failed.
- So, what's happening here?
-
- 3. No really a smail problem, but my system seems to thing it's
- name is softland.mysubdomain.domain. Now, I figure I can change the
- softland part using the hostname command in an RC file, but how do I
- change the .mysubdomain.domain stuff to work with my domain stuff
- (.rent.com)?
-
- That seems to be all the problems with SMAIL I've had. Any
- replies (by mail if you would) will be summarized and, if there isn't
- one already, I'll set up a sort of FAQ for SMAIL. I'll do the same
- with CNEWS when I take my shot at it later this week.
-
- Danke in advance.
-
- Mitch
