- An XGATE/ CHARON question:
-
- I am trying to set up xgate and charon to act as an SMTP <-> MHS gateway
- for our site. The installation, as documented in the xgate docs, went
- fine. I sent a message from the PC's (using daVinci email) to the gateway.
- XGATE found the message and placed it in the smtp_in basket for charon.
- When I run charon (using XCHARON), however, I get the folowing message
- sequence:
-
- unable to open TCP connection to spuntik
- TCP Error code is 2
- SNICKERS/SMTP_IN Aborting Job 4
-
- This repeats in an endless loop.
-
- I can ping the charon gateway and it responds. I thought this might be
- a permissions problem, but I can telnet to the unix box and connect to
- port 25 (smtp) from any of our nodes. The inetd.sec file is also set
- to specifically allow the gateway access to smtp.
-
- I am using the latest packet drivers (10.x) and have no problems using the
- FTP PC/TCP utilities (tn, ftp, etc..) when I load the kernel (ethdrv.exe)
- into memory. I do not load the kernel when using charon, since they both
- seem to want to use software interupt 0x61.
-
- Is there something else I need to set on the unix box to allow the gateway
- access? Is there some setting or driver that I am botching on the
- gateway? Is this a packet driver problem?
-
- I would greatly appreciate some help since neither the XGATE or CHARON docs
- list this error message.
-
- Thanks in advance...
