Hi, I was just going through your how to, to set up a server on Suse 10.1 and it was all going really well till i hit a problem: When i get to the point of installing an smpt server then testing with telnet i get absoultley no response when i type it in the command line i get this result: server1:#Telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is ']' echlo localhost Then i get no response. Have you got any ideas what i have done wrong and or how can i fix this? Your help would be really really apreciated! Thanks, Alex

I ran the commands to test it and i looked in the mail log file afterwards and and some errors apeared in it heres is a snippet of the log file when i get the errors Code: Dec 16 13:02:30 server1 postfix/postfix-script: refreshing the Postfix mail system Dec 16 13:02:30 server1 postfix/master[3389]: reload configuration /etc/postfix Dec 16 16:50:26 server1 postfix/smtpd[11206]: warning: unsupported SASL server implementation: cyrus Dec 16 16:50:26 server1 postfix/smtpd[11206]: fatal: SASL per-process initialization failed Dec 16 16:50:27 server1 postfix/master[3389]: warning: process /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd pid 11206 exit status 1 Dec 16 16:50:27 server1 postfix/master[3389]: warning: /usr/lib/postfix/smtpd: bad command startup -- throttling
Please redo the steps for the sasl and postfix configuration of the howto abd then try again the test.
When i try to to install it again i get a service already provided error, is this becuase i am running an lampp server at the moment? should i unistall it? it would not let me post the error, so i put it an an image I can give someone VNC access if they could help me to get it all working? I really apreciate all your help, Alex
I'd ignore these warnings for now. Please redo all the steps from chapter 7 on http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_suse_10.1_p5 .
I have given up, i have started again installed OpenSUSE 10.2 and going through the tutorial for it. I am having problems now with updating it when i goto "online update" in the install it says "No products to register" is that fine? should i just leave it? Thanks, Alex Edit: Think i have fixed it
