Hello All, I tried asking this in the postfix forum but I'm just not getting any answer. I'm hoping I have better luck here :) ... I have a linux workstation that when I send mail from it it shows the hostname.domain.com in the From line. I want it to behave as other workstations...

Hello All, I have a linux workstation that when I send mail from it it shows the hostname.domain.com in the From line. I want it to behave as other workstations (sendmail) where the 'hostname' portion is masqueraded with the 'mailserver'. The From: line then has mailserver.domain.com...

cool...that worked!

How do I change the default font size in dtterm permanently? I have to set it to the size I like every time I open a new dtterm window. I'd like to set it in my login profile if possible. If possible change in font type, background color would be nice too. This are no big deal but would be...

When I log in with a non root user (init 5) in xdm, after entering my password and hitting enter, my monitor temporarily turns off as if switching resolution settings. Then it comes back to life at the graphical login window once again this time with the user/password fields empty. I'd have to...

Well...I've pulled out the last of my hair so...I changed it's IP and put it within the same subnet as the NIS master server. Everything works like a charm. You're probably right bfitzmai. Thanks for everyone who tried to help. -ryan

bfitzmai, yup...it's there. it was one of the first things i did. That site is pretty good.

cndcadams, You're right it could be some configuration that affects NIS somehow. I can test on another box later today or monday next week. But...to answer your question I am unable to telnet because we've disabled this on all machines. I am able to ssh in just fine.

cndcadams, yes, yes, yes and no...this is the first nis client on this subnet. I guess I can try that but I think it's highly unlikely that it's hardware related.

coffeysm, yes the entry in the securenets file follows that format. In fact there is already an entry in there for the subnet the Master server runs on. I simply followed that. I also made sure that the subnetmask is accurate. The NIS server is in the /etc/hosts file of the client machine...

My /var/yp/nicknames file has entries which I have checked against the master server's. They are there and spelling matches.

yes...domainname returns the right NIS domain name. The client binds to the domain just fine. I'm thinking I'll just set it as a slave server and hope it'll get the maps.

the NIS master is running on 5.8 and yes, i am certain it is a nis domain not nis+.

The only thing I can think of is Solaris NIS doesn't support NIS accross subnets w/out a slave server on subnets other than the one the master server occupies.

I get the following when doing a ypwhich -m: Can't find master for map mounts.byname. Reason: No such map in server's domain Can't find master for map ypservers. Reason: No such map in server's domain Can't find master for map ipnodes.byaddr. Reason: No such map in server's domain Can't find...
