Hi I'm new to Linux I have just started following The Perfect Server - Fedora7 - got to page 5 and down to "To see if SMTP-AUTH and TLS work properly now run the following command: " [root@netpoint ~]# telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. At this point the session hangs with a blinking cursor . So far I have followed the guide and each point where ask to vi everthing matches to the letter and had no differing output other than NIC/eth0, hosts etc. I have included some output below. Please could someone assist? Many thanks in advance Jas [root@netpoint ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 # D-Link System Inc DL2000-based Gigabit Ethernet DEVICE=eth0 BOOTPROTO=static BROADCAST=172.16.100.15 HWADDR=00:13:46:71:83:A7 IPADDR=172.16.100.14 NETMASK=255.255.255.240 NETWORK=172.16.100.0 ONBOOT=yes [root@netpoint ~]# [root@netpoint ~]# vi /etc/hosts # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 172.16.100.14 netpoint.homedns.org netpoint ::1 localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 ~ ~ [root@netpoint ~]# rpm -q telnet telnet-0.17-38.fc7 [root@netpoint ~]# netstat -tap Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 *:mysql *:* LISTEN 1963/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:sunrpc *:* LISTEN 1622/rpcbind tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomai:domain *:* LISTEN 1602/named tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:ipp *:* LISTEN 1858/cupsd tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 2055/master tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:rndc *:* LISTEN 1602/named tcp 0 0 *:55262 *:* LISTEN 1651/rpc.statd tcp 0 0 netpoint.homedns.org:33554 ik-in-f17.google.com:http ESTABLISHED 2858/firefox-bin tcp 0 0 netpoint.homedns.org:35462 ik-in-f18.google.com:http ESTABLISHED 2858/firefox-bin tcp 1 0 localhost.localdomain:smtp localhost.localdomain:36029 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 0 0 localhost.localdomain:36030 localhost.localdomain:smtp ESTABLISHED 4007/telnet tcp 0 0 netpoint.homedns.org:49659 ik-in-f83.google.com:http ESTABLISHED 2858/firefox-bin tcp 1656 0 netpoint.homedns.org:smtp netpoint.homedns.org:34489 CLOSE_WAIT - tcp 1 0 netpoint.homedns.org:36599 admin.fedora.redhat.co:http CLOSE_WAIT 2261/python tcp 1 0 netpoint.homedns.org:34148 mirrors1.kernel.org:http CLOSE_WAIT 2261/python [root@netpoint ~]# cat /etc/postfix/main.cf queue_directory = /var/spool/postfix command_directory = /usr/sbin daemon_directory = /usr/libexec/postfix mail_owner = postfix inet_interfaces = all mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.$mydomain, localhost, $mydomain, unknown_local_recipient_reject_code = 550 alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases debug_peer_level = 2 debugger_command = PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin xxgdb $daemon_directory/$process_name $process_id & sleep 5 sendmail_path = /usr/sbin/sendmail.postfix newaliases_path = /usr/bin/newaliases.postfix mailq_path = /usr/bin/mailq.postfix setgid_group = postdrop html_directory = no manpage_directory = /usr/share/man sample_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.4.3/samples readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix-2.4.3/README_FILES smtpd_sasl_local_domain = smtpd_sasl_auth_enable = yes smtpd_sasl_security_options = noanonymous broken_sasl_auth_clients = yes smtpd_recipient_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated,permit_mynetworks,reject_unauth_destination mynetworks = 127.0.0.0/8 smtpd_tls_auth_only = no smtp_use_tls = yes smtpd_use_tls = yes smtp_tls_note_starttls_offer = yes smtpd_tls_key_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.key smtpd_tls_cert_file = /etc/postfix/ssl/smtpd.crt smtpd_tls_CAfile = /etc/postfix/ssl/cacert.pem smtpd_tls_loglevel = 1 smtpd_tls_received_header = yes smtpd_tls_session_cache_timeout = 3600 tls_random_source = dev: /dev/urandom smtpd_sasl_authenticated_header = yes myhostname = netpoint.homedns.org [root@netpoint ~]# [root@netpoint ~]# hostname -f netpoint.homedns.org
