Hello,
 
I am using RH 5.1.
I am trying to set up a Linux server to get my E-mail once every day and to use it for multiple Windows computers to surf the Internet at the same time.
 
I installed squid.When I restart the Linux server squid is started.
 
The two problems I have are as follows.
 
Problem 1
 
Every time one of the windows 98 computers is booted up,the server start dialing via the modem to the outside world.Diald is started and it tries to make a connection to the outsideworld.
 
Problem 2
 
The server does not get the mail automaticly.I checked the Crontab file.This is as folows.
 
SHELL=/bin/bash
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
MAILTO=jan
 
# run-parts
#  01 * * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.hourly
#  02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
# 22 4 * * 0 root run-parts /etc/cron.weekly
# 42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
0       18       *       *       *       /home/jan/domail verbose
# 0      6       *       *       *       /bin/df
# 2      6       *       *       *       /bin/ps aux
# */10  *       *        *       *      /home/jan/doclock
 
 
If I do the  /home/jan/domail command  from the
[root@server / ] line it works.The modem starts dialing and the Linuxserver gets the mail.
After that I start my Windows computer and start Outlook Express and the server sends the mail to the Windows computer.
 
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated,
 
Thanks
Jan de Kok.
