FIRST PRINTING ERRATA LIST    Home

Command and programming corrections:

Page 100: 2/5 from the top of the page, add the following paragraph before "The above causes the message...":
The MTA may require that addresses be enclosed in < > braces. If you get errors, try instead MAIL FROM:<me@my.machi.ne> and RCPT TO:<them@their.machi.ne>. (This is one of the places where you really do type in the < and >.)

Page 305: 2/5 from the top of the page, add the following between "...internal mail server." and "local_delivery: This transport...":
Instead of using hosts_override and hosts as explained above, these options can be deleted and the lookuphost router changed to: 

lookuphost:
    driver = domainlist
    route_list = "* 192.168.2.1 byname"
    transport = remote_smtp

This says that all recipient addresses matching the domain   *   must be forwarded to the SMTP host of IP address 192.168.2.1. This alternative preserves the behavior, except that no unnecessary lookups are done that are just going to be overridden by the hosts_override option.


Typographical and grammatical corrections:

  • Page 38: 1/4 from the bottom, should be, "nnn[G] Go to line nnn of the file." That is, without the dash.

  • Page 58: 1/4 from the top, delete "cooledit" from the sentence "cooledit The best editor for...".

  • Page 90: 1/3 from the top, should read, "These states are modified by a trailing < for a process with negative nice value,"

  • Page 174: 1/3 from the bottom, "...the additional notation $(command) is equivalent to `command` except that..." That is, the quotes about command are backquotes. There are some incorrect fonts on this page, but the meaning should still be clear.

  • Page 300: In the center, "It then performs a DNS MX query (or MX lookup) for the domain toonland.net."

  • Page 340: At the top, "...to use a simple, non-error correcting protocol..."

  • Page 341: 3/5 from the bottom, "This approach works because mgetty and..."

  • Page 342: Near the bottom, "...if someone wants to send a fax, while another person has dialed the Internet."

  • Page 422: In the center, delete the line, "Migrating from..." which is a duplicate of the header.

  • Page 438: At the top, "Keep this window open throughout the entire setup..."

  • Page 463: Near the bottom, "...there were about 400 modules, totalling about 9 megabytes."

  • Page 521: In the center of the page, "Removing fingerprints: Your system identifies itself to" should be changed to "Removing fingerprints: See Nonstandard messages above." (Yeah, I know what you are thinking: "Is there supposed to be a whole paragraph here?" Actually there isn't - its just a duplicate LaTeX item.)

  • Page 561: Near the top, "Most vendors try to comply with this standard, and..."

  • Page 622: Left column, 1/3 from the bottom, "Symmetric Multiprocessor Support, see SMP"
