Much of my new SLS is now working... and unlike the previous installation I
can now ftp in both directions without hitting a 2048-byte limit. But now
there seems to be a problem: when I try to ftp to or from a site which is
not in the same domain as the Linux server, it just hangs.
I mean, there is no connection.
If it was only a problem when ftp-ing _from_ the new Linux installation, I
would suspect it was just a problem with the name server. And I have
successfully gotten the nameserver working from another local machine.
Which means I do "nslookup site.address" and it gives me the correct IP
address.
A second problem is that I don't seem to be able to receive any incoming
mail. I tried to fix this the same way as for the SLS 1.02 installation, by
commenting out the smtp line in /etc/inetd.conf and replacing it with the
one that worked before:
smtp stream tcp nowait root /usr/bin/smtpd smtpd
but to no avail. All incoming mail is somewhere in limbo. I suspect the
problem here is related somehow to the other problem, but I don't even get
mail from hosts in the same domain. Maybe this is partly because there is
a router situated between myself and most of the rest of my domain? But
this didn't bother the SLS 1.02 setup...
