I have a linux host running Sendmail. I want to send messages messages to an Exchange Online (365) server. I believe I need to do so with with AuthInfo (but correct me if I'm wrong).

If I have an Exchange account for user myuser at mydom.com with Exchange password mypass and MX record mydom-com.mail.protection.outlook.com what should my AuthInfo record look like:
Code: AuthInfo:mydom-com.mail.protection.outlook.com "U:myuser" "P:mypass" Should U: be as shown, or myuser@mydom.com, or DCdomain\myuser? Do I need "M:PLAIN"? Some other encryption type?

Does sendmail.mc need:
Code: define(`SMART_HOST',`mydom-com.mail.protection.outlook.com')dnl
FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash -o /etc/mail/authinfo.db')dnl Anything else?

What if the Exchange account is set up for two-factor authentication? Will the AuthInfo choke?

Where should the AuthInfo config go? I've seen it set in /etc/mail/access and in /etc/mail/authinfo.db.

I'm getting tired of HP and their cartridges, and am looking into alternatives.

Hi,
I have Centos 7 VM. Network guys are saying that TTL for multicast of this VM is set to 25, hence firewall assumes it is DDOS and drops the packets. On OS level, is there a way to know, what is TTL ?
I want to set it to 10. I found one this URL , and it gives me two options to set :
Code: # iptables -t mangle -A OUTPUT -d <multicast_ip_addr> -j TTL --ttl-set 64 Code: # firewall-cmd --direct --add-rule ipv4 mangle OUTPUT 0 -d <multicast_ip_addr> -j TTL --ttl-set 64 But I do not have firewall and iptables enabled on my servers. Is there any different way to set it to 10 ?
Please suggest.
Thanks

I have a seemingly simple problem. Analog TV reception with TVtime is horrible quality. A VCR is outputting NTSC ch.3 to an ATI TV Wonder 600. USB 2.0 is enabled in my laptops BIOS and I tried different ports, and digital TV works perfectly in Kaffeine, so it's not a bandwidth issue. The ATI TV stick is not getting too hot. CPU, GPU, and RAM usage are fine.

Here's a video demonstration

What could be the issue?

Does the Help button in the Current KDE Settings KCron module (System Settings -> Startup and Shutdown -> Task Scheduler) function correctly for you?

The button functions fine here in 15.0 but not Current. The KCron Help handbook is available when launching Help directly.

Just looking for confirmations. Likely I have something misconfigured.

Thanks.

Hello all! I have an old linux wild dog pro desktop that I want to get running again. I need to know if I can just go get a screen at Wal-Mart to use, or if I need a special screen for linux. Looking to get one on the smaller side... 21 inch would be great, as I have a rolling cart that I use in bed to go online with. Thanks in advance

When creating a slackware package, `makepkg` provides an option (the default) to delete symlinks and add them later via the 'install/doinst.sh' script included in the package.

```
makepkg --help

Usage: makepkg package_name.tgz
(or: package_name.tbz, package_name.tlz, package_name.txz)
[...]
options: -l, --linkadd y|n (moves symlinks into doinst.sh: recommended)
-p, --prepend (prepend rather than append symlinks to an existing

```

What would be the purpose for this?

So I updated current for the December 6th updates, and xfce4's desktop isn't loading (because of the SDL update?) I wiped out .conifg/xfce4 and .cache/xfce4, but the default one isn't showing. I can't change any of them, either. (It's just black. Panels show up. Right click menu pulls up nothing.) KDE is fine. Is there another config directory I missed?

A new user is fine, so there's some bad setting somewhere. Anywhere else I should clean out, to reset things? I deleted ~.cache/xfce4 and .config/xfce4.
