Summary: Need help writing one.

Howdy,

Several years back I rewrote my sendmail.cf file. A recent re-installation
has left me with the realization that some upgrade somewhere in the past 
few years replaced it, and I need to make a change. My backups on this machine
don't go back far enough to find the file :-(. I remember it was a bugger to
do at the time, and I can't seem to replicate the necessary rulesets. Can
someone please help me write an AIX 2.2.1 sendmail.cf that does the following :

	Routes all tcp-address mail destined for the local domain (msi.com) to the
	destination host via tcp.

	Routes all non-local tcp-address mail to 'rivendell.msi.com' for forwarding
	via uucp to my internet relay host.

	Routes all uucp mail without 'rivendell!...' (I.e. somehost!someuser{@somedomain})
	or what have you to 'rivendell' via tcp for forwarding to the local domain via
	tcp (if the host is local) and via uucp to my internet relay host if non-local.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

I cannot get my telnetd daemon to start, ioctl tries to start it
but fails.  The problem is with the telnetd itself, if I run it it
complains -

rt% telnet
telnetd setsockopt (SO_KEEPALIVE): Invalid argument
telnetd: getpeername: Invalid argument

Sometimes it tells me - Usage telnetd [-n]

All seems fine in /etc/inetd.conf and /etc/services.

Can anyone give me any pointers?

Thanks,

Gareth

Let's not forget the difference between Differential SCSI, as implemented on
the RT and several minicomputers, and Single-Ended SCSI, on the PC, Mac, RS/6000
and other workstations.  They are not electrically compatible; the only difference
which I understand between them is that Differential SCSI allows longer distances
(the RT SCSI disks were in racks external to the cabinet).

I've heard that there are 3rd-party converters (black boxes?) which allow these
to be intermixed, but have no experience with them.

NNTP-Posting-Host: carson.u.washington.edu
Summary: Question using VRM
Keywords: VRM, harddrive

I had this old RT running for about three years.  Several IBM
products had been installed which produced hard drive partitions
and links to them with VRM.  I wanted to recover and reuse the
space.  I so deleted the partitions using minidisks.  I then 
created a new partition using minidisks.  Now to the question.
What do I need to do to make VRM happy?  On boot its gives me
errors about the vrm configuration.  It is complaining about the
partitions I deleted.  What tool do I use to tell VRM that these
partitions are deleted?  

P.S.  I checked the manuals and I booted the VRM floppies.  I 
checked the configuration and it looks OK.  Do I need to install
VRM again after I get the configuration correct?  

I feel foolish asking because I just can't seem to remember or find
the correct steps to make this process happen.  I'm sure that two
years ago it would have been obvious.  Thanks for any help provided.

I ran into this problem when trying to communicate with an RT through
a WellFleet router.  

What happens is that the Token Ring card in the RT drops packets
sent to it with a MAC address begining with 000. . .

I was told that this was fixed with later versions of the microcode.
Does anyone have the updated microcode and would it be possible to down
load it into the card?

Changing the MAC address on the router doesn't work, because it generates
its own MAC addr.  when IPX routing is enabled.

I have Pc-Tools V8.0 and I can't get the option UNDELETE to work.

It doesn't even light up in my menu list. Any one know why or

has any one gotten it to work on their hard drive with files

that were just deleted????

 

I also can't get the UNZIP option in the compress menu to work.

I tried to unzip a copy of SCAN99.zip in my 2mb ram drive with

the unzip option of Pc-tools and got a message that first

the files might over right existing files on my drive.

Then it said that it couldn't unzip the file because the directories

might already exist on my drive. My ram drive was empty other than

just the one file (SCAN99.ZIP) so there couldn't be a problem

with either existing directories or files.

 

Using pkunzip I unziped the file with no problem at all.

What gives with the NEW AND IMPROVED PC-TOOLS V8.0 FOR DOS????

 

Any help would be vary nice on this and would be greatly APPRECIATED!

Three things..
  1) Your news software is mis-configured.  It produced a null or invalid
     "From:" line. It also was missing the Sender or Reply-to line.
     Had to guess your E-mail address by piecing 
     the news headers together.  Most likely your NNTP client host
     "piglet" is mis-configured.  Your NNTP server did not help much
     either..  With no valid "From:" line, some news software programs
     will drop your article on the floor.  
     Here is the news header as arrived at my site:

  2) No username was attached to the article, hard to figure out who
     you are.  No sig line was attached either..  I hope this
     E-mail address works that I cobbled together.
     I guessed with egrayver@piglet.caltech.edu.
     Just in case, I am posting this as well.

  3) Answer to your post..
     
     RT disks came in a varity of flavors.

     The R-40 disks are MFM and the same as PC-AT original hard drive.
     The R-70 drive is ESDI, as well as the E-70 drive. 
     The only difference is the number of sectors/track.

     Cost of PC controllers has been dropping, most likely around
     the $100.00-200.00 range, depending on features, speed and ect...

Does anyone know of (preferably shareware) software that allows to create

using a MIDI keyboard. What ideally I would like to be able to do is to	
use Soundblaster as the tone generator, and control it with a keyboard. 

See, right now I have a MIDI keyboard (Yamaha PSR500) that has built-in
sampled sounds that can not be modified. I wish I could create my own
sounds, but I can not afford a real synthesizer, so can I use Soundblaster?

Any comments appreciated! Thanks,

The MIDI interface of hte GUS is SB (=UART?) compatible. I've heared that the
MPU-401 interface of the SB16 only supports the 'dumb' mode, and not the
intelligent mode (like the Rolands do). The latter is used more by the software.

Hello Netters,

Is there anyone on the net who knows something about the covox soundmaster II
card. It's supposed to be something like the SB pro version one. It's adlib,
SB, gameblaster compatible. It comes with stereo, midi (UART only), headphone and mike.
Does anybody know if this card is any good voor sound with games and playing wavsounds in windows? No professional midi use is intended. Please reply fast for Iam about to by it for a very low price....


			Thanks in advance, Michel
