AnnouncementsResourcesSendmail Setup for Your Home Network (Linux Journal). This article from Linux Journal shows how simple it can (or should) be to make a Linux box act as a mail server to the outside world for a small home network using Sendmail. "Assuming the system is a home or small company network with a Linux machine running Sendmail as the mail server, Sendmail's functions will be to receive mail messages from machines on the internal network, deliver local messages to their respective users and deliver to the Internet messages for external destinations. Additionally, the server will receive mail from the Internet." Linux-Mandrake donation center. Linux-Mandrake sent us word of their plans to open up a donation center for users to provide funding to individual projects at MandrakeSoft. Mandrake 8 Apache/PHP/PostgreSQL hints. AboutLinux has an article on getting Apache, PHP and PostgreSQL running on a freshly installed Mandrake 8.0 system. Why Can't My 2.4 Kernel See Some Web Sites? (ELToday). Enterprise Linux Today looks at problems with the ECN protocol, which is implemented in the 2.4 kernel. "Eventually, the network infrastructure will be updated so that this new protocol (currently experimental) is supported everywhere, but what can a Linux user do about the problem in the meantime? The good news is that there is an easy workaround, and it doesn't involve staying with the 2.2.x kernel." Of course, we can't resist pointing out that LWN kernel page readers knew about this back in September, 2000. Tip of the Week: rpm2cpio and cpio (LinuxLookup). RPM is pretty common format for Linux systems, but for the many people on non-RPM systems, this week's TOTW uses rpm2cpio and cpio to look inside the RPM package.
