Hello,
after months of agony, pain, misery..... I just got my User PPP working. :-) I'm using FBSD 2.2.6.
But my email isn't working. In fact when the PPP link comes up I get a load of errors from sendmail along the lines of:
sendmail[450]: problem creating SMTP port
sendmail[450]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: cannot bind: Address already in use
sendmail[450]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR(root): opendaemonsocket: server SMTP socket wedged: exiting
Now I get hundreds of these messgaes flooding my xterms....
Also when I try to download mail from my ISP's incoming mail server (mail.force9.net) using the sendmail ETRN command "ETRN <myhost>", I get:
502 unimplemented(#5.5.1)
And end up not being able to download any email.
Any ideas??
Thanks,
Ghulam
PS how do I run PPP as a non-root user??
