Each workstation has been set to print to a netgear port. It worked fine for a year. Now, every few days all workstations stop printing to the ps. The only way to resolve it, so far, is to create a new port. Once this is done everyone is fine for a few days, and then the problem occurs again. Is there a (easy to understand and implement) Linux print server I can set up to take place of the netgear boxes? Better yet, is there a simple fix for this problem???

I developed a collaborative knowledge base at work last year and had to keep adding content and reminding folks it was out there for a good six months before people started contributing regularly. It took another six months to get buy-in from management. Now it's running itself. The discussion page http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/HowToGetInternalBuyInForTWiki was a great reality check on the amount of work it takes. A few examples of how to do things in plone like set up a tclug package repository would help a lot.

Some admin stuff will need to be setup on the front end but after that it pretty much runs itself. The problem is that this particular instance was set up using the Debian "testing" version from May. Plone has since been backed out of Sarge due to it being horribly broken in Sarge(as seen in the registration failures). I believe it has something to due with an incompatablilty with the version of Zope that is in Sarge. Hopefully they will get the mess fixed before Sarge goes to stable. If we want to go ahead with a Plone setup, I suggest using the "experimental" packages that can be gotten here[1]. The workflow can be as simple or as complex as you want. Basically, each user has his/her own folder to create documents, files, etc. Each person can then choose to publish said content to make it available to the community at large contingent on Reviewer/Manager approval. It's actually a nifty little system that has served me well in several instances.

I have a server that I need to replace the OS drive in. My thoughts were to do the following to replace it: -Connect replacement drive to system. -Boot to a live cd such as Knoppix -Use dd to moves files from old drive to new using syntax similar to: dd if=/dev/hda of=/dev/hdb Seems fairly straightforward. However, the questions I have are: -Will dd copy over the partition information as well, or should I create the partions by hand and then use dd on each partition such as: dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/dev/hdb1 -Do I need to specify any block sizes or error correcting? The cause for replacing the drive is that the root ( / ) partition has marked itself as read-only. Doing fsck's and rebooting is no longer correcting the issue. In doing a dd from one drive to the other, is there a chance that whatever is marking the partition read-only will be brought over as well? Anything else that I seem to be overlooking?

It will copy the boot sector, partition table, and all data just as it exists on the current drive. You should dd to the same sized disk, preferrably one with matching geometry (cylinder, heads, sectors/track) values. You can dd a smaller drive to a larger one but that will make the larger drive effectively be the size of the smaller one. Waste of space. > -Do I need to specify any block sizes or error correcting? I never have when I've copied drives and they have always worked just fine. I've always dd'd to similar sized drives with matching geometry though. > The cause for replacing the drive is that the root ( / ) partition has > marked itself as read-only.

Since dd is just a raw image copy, when you dd to the new drive, your root partition will still be marked read-only. I haven't run across a root partition marking itself read-only before. I have to believe this can be corrected with enough googling. I have to throw this out there: you do have backups you can restore from, right? :P -- scot _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

That's true, but I would add that butting in a bs=1024K will make dd much, much faster (I use dd to make a backup of my laptop hdd once a week, and I've timed it a few times Just For Fun). -Yaron -- _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

Scot, have you tried booting off a bootable Linux CD/floppy and attempted to diagnose the issue there? If not, I would recommend you take a look at that first. I think Knoppix and every other major bootable Linux CD will have some sort of ext2/3, reiser, and xfs utils included. > I have to throw this out there: you do have backups you can restore > from, right? :P I was going to ask that too :) _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

I would do as you state here, partition by partition, and create/format partitions on the new drive first. I might even take it a step further and just use cp (with appropriate flags to preserve attributes, permissions, f/m/atimes, etc.) . It wouldn't take that much longer. > -Do I need to specify any block sizes or error correcting? I've never had to specify block sizes for it to work. I usually will say 2k or 512b though, as I usually use dd to pull backup/forensic images of drives, and there's a bit of funkiness with how dd deals with a drive where the selected bs is not a divisor (evenly divides) of the drive capacity > The cause for replacing the drive is that the root ( / ) partition has > marked itself as read-only.

Of course, that depends on how/why it's being marked read-only. Not that stating the obvious helps out at all... > Anything else that I seem to be overlooking? Seems logical to me...

Could you just install the OS on the new disk, mount the old disk and just copy over the directories that you need (/etc, /home). Then you could try to "fix" the old disk (and learn) without worry. If you can find out *why* the partition is marked read-only then I think fsck can help you. I don't remember how much diagnostic info fsck gives, but I know it can be cryptic.

I had a case a few weeks ago where the root file system would revert back to read-only because it had trouble writing to the journal. It filled the dmesg output with lots of ext3 error messages. I ended up booting with a rescue disk, removing the journal with some combination of tune2fs, mounting the file system and removing the .journal file. After recreating the journal with tune2fs, the system hasn't given me any more problems (yet).

I'm only rebuilding the entirety of FC2 errata for sparc. Started yesterday, and I'm at about 23%. Currently chugging away on glibc, yay. That being said, I'm using a 333MHz UltraSPARC II, not a pair of 75MHz SuperSPARCs. Personally I'd be loathe to generate dynamic web content on anything less than an UltraSPARC. But, to each his own.

In a sense... The box is #2 in a load balanced environment. The primary box is backed up, and the second is not, but the data (non OS) areas are rsync'd between each other. Not the best scenario, but better than nothing. Not my design I'll say and I'm not entirely happy with it. As to the read-only filesystem, I tried running multiple fsck's against it, and the first few would generate erros, but I don't recall what they were. It's an ext3 filesystem, on an RHELv3 box. For the first few times, I was able to drop the box into single user mode, run an fsck against the disk, and it would find and correct errors. Now, the filesystem is saying it's okay with no errors, yet I can't get it to get out of read-only mode even with a reboot. Instead of doing a dd, in this case would it be better to partition the drive and do a cpio from partition to partition as someone mentioned? -- -Shawn -Nemo me impune lacessit.

Also if you're having problems getting Zope installed, do the same thing. Make sure Python 2.3.4 (or 2.3.3) is installed. Then go to zope.org and download the standard tarball and install that. (obviously, or maybe not, you'll need to install Zope before installing Plone.) FWIW the packages tend to lag behind the "official" releases because they are maintained by people, I believe, who are outside the main Plone team. I've given up on using RPMs with SuSE.

I've installed XP32 and XP64, multi boot configuration. I need to do a little more reading before I install Fedora Core 3 x64. Hardware; Motherboard: Gigabyte K8NS Ultra 939 (nforce 3, DDR400+, AGP8x, USB2, Dual LAN, SATA, Audio, 1394b) Processor: AMD 64 3000+ 939 pin 1.8GHz Memory: 512MB DDR 400 Video: Nvidia GForce 5500 FX Power: 400 Watt 2 @ 30gig ATA133 drives 1 @ 20gig ATA 100 drive 1 @ CDRW USB 3.5" Floppy USB JumpDrive USB Optical Mouse PS/2 Keyboard General; The nice thing about this motherboard is the drivers (both XP32 and XP64 bit) are available. Gigabyte has the 64bit Linux drivers as well (NFORCE-Linux-x86_64-1.0-0292-pkg1.run) Fedora Core 3 x64 should work with this motherboard from what I've read. I had to install the drivers from CDROM for XP32 after the installation (LAN did not work until I installed the drivers.) I down loaded the XP64 bit drivers from the Nvidia website, I had them on my JumpDrive ;-) so USB works without the drivers installed in XP64. I can't test the SATA or the 1394b as I don't have either. LAN, Audio, AGP8x, and LAN work great under the M$ operating systems. Software; I've installed Call of Duty and found it's faster and looks better under XP64 The catch (from reading) with Windows software is the software can NOT have a 16bit installer or installer front-end. 16bit software will not work in XP64. Be sure your software installers do NOT have a 16bit installer if you want to use it with XP64. I'll do more software testing an update the list. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

Thing that did not appeal to me was that one had to subscribe for a fee for additional applications not provided on the CD distro. Many of those applications are "standard" on most of the major Linux distros out. The GUI looked nice but keep it only for a few days and loaded something else on like Mandrake 9.2.

So Microsoft agreed to pay $20 million to Lindows and Lindows changed its name to Linspire. Lindows won its case both in the US courts and in Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg), but had lost initially in Benelux. Isn't it fair to say that Microsoft tried to use the courts to force Lindows to change its name and when that didn't work, Microsoft bought the name? Lindows was a fine name. More of the usual anti-competitive Microsoft behavior.

My impression when I tried it about a year ago was that they had some good ideas re: making a desktop for a non-technical user but that they had negated a lot of Linux advantages where not necessary. FWIW I have been playing with Xandros the last few months and I think they have done a better job of 'improving' the joe-user useability without the drawbacks that Linspire imposed. (definitely not the best distro for a developer, etc) What both of them have that I think may be the biggest thing is the ease of software installation. While not terribly difficult for some folks the whole rpm/deb (or god forbid compiling it yourself) is just not comfortable to the majority of users.

It sounds to me like the RAID controller is seeing everything. If the new installation is installed to drive 3, then that means that the RAID controller sees all 3 drives. The first 2 were already a mirror, so there's no need to initialize them, since they already have a COD. I definitely think that Ken is onto something. I'm betting that you have partitions on the mirror and on drive 3 that have the same label on the partition, and when your system tries to go through fstab and mount the partitions by label it's seeing 2 of everything and failing. So modify the fstab to mount by device rather than label, then mount the RAID partitions somewhere in /mnt and copy the files over that you need. Of course, if you want be safe when doing stuff, just put one of the mirrored drives in. It should still work fine, it'll just be "degraded." And if something really gets FUBAR, you have the other half of the mirror sitting there untouched. If all goes well, stick the second drive in after you copy files over and it should automatically rebuild. -- Justin Kremer "The best advice I can give you is not to trust the state for anything." - Henn.

Here is fstab. Do you know how I would mount by device? I made a few stabs at it before, but did not get it to work.

We will pull one drive if the other can be mounted alone. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

What I would do is boot up with only drive 3 in there, and once everything is up, type "mount" to see which devices are mounted to which mount points. Then edit your fstab to reflect those device names. If mount doesn't give you the info you need (I don't remember, when you mounted the partition by label, does it still tell you what device is mounted?) you can always list the disk's partitions in fdisk. My guess, though, is that / and /boot are /dev/cciss/c0d0p0 and /dev/cciss/c0d0p1, maybe not in that order. Tragically, in all the time I've been using SmartArrays, I've never used them under linux, so I really don't know how the devices get labeled. -- Justin Kremer "The best advice I can give you is not to trust the state for anything." - Henn.

Email will be sent to username@mydomain.com and I then treat that as an alias to username@otherdomain.com. Nothing overly complex here. Anyway, recently one of the "otherdomain.com"s that I forward to started checking to make sure email comes from a valid domain so I now I end up with a series of spam that queues for three days on my server while trying to complete the transaction with "otherdomain.com" and then dumps, this is really annoying. I'm wondering if I can run through the same sort of check for valid domains that "otherdomain.com" does before attempting to forward and thus eliminate the three days of gridlock for all these messages.

Actually, I'm working my way towards a solution. oddly (or perhaps not, I don't know), showkey -c does NOT work --- the keys are "dead." HOWEVER, scancodes are echoed into /var/log/messages for the deadkeys, like so: Jan 9 14:54:47 necronomicon kernel: atkbd.c: Unknown key pressed (translated set 2, code 0xd8 on isa0060/serio0). Jan 9 14:54:47 necronomicon kernel: atkbd.c: Use 'setkeycodes e058 ' to make it known. ... so I should be able to make a keyboard map for this beast after all! Thanks to all for their help. BTW, can anyone explain to a bear with very little brain what lineak is used for? I.e., if we've got a keymap for these beasts, don't we just set keybindings in KDE (or gnome)? What's lineak doing for us that we don't have with just X + a graphical desktop?

He can also be sentenced without a formal trial and doesn't have the normal legal protections. And , without those due process checks, it's easy to charge someone. In the name of terrorism prevention we have forfeited many of our rights. (In my opinion, way too many.) It seems to me that anyone charged with terrorism is stripped of all normal legal rights, and the definition of terrorism is so broad and vague that it can easily be applied to too many situations.

I'm wondering if I can run through the > same sort of check for valid domains that "otherdomain.com" does before This should be default behavior in recent versions (like post-8.9 - so "recent" isn't really the right word). But it could have been overridden if your cf was compiled with FEATURE(`accept_unresolvable_domains') Just to confirm - you are sure that the host is just doing a check on the domains, and not on the sender address itself? Many sites are starting to do address validation. So look at the mail in your queue and confirm that the domains really don't exist. Then to be doubly-sure, connect to your mailhost from outside of your network and try something like: HELO whatever MAIL FROM: It /should/ reject it, unless it's been overridden as mentioned above. You can see if it was overridden by looking in your sendmail.cf file. In SBasic_check_mail there should be some lines like: R $* $#error $@ 4.1.8 $: "451 Domain of sender address " $&f " does not resolve" R $* $#error $@ 5.1.8 $: "553 Domain of sender address " $&f " does not exist" If you see those lines, and it is still not rejecting mail from non-existant domains, contact me off-list and I'll work with you. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

When I boot to the kernel installed with base slackware there is a penguin icon at the top of the loader screen and the text is smaller. When I boot to a kernel I recompiled to add smp support and a couple of SCSI modules, the penguin icon is gone and the font on the loader screen is much bigger. I assume that I'm missing a setting somewhere during the configuration of the new kernel. I use make menuconfig to set the kernel options. I have a couple of questions: Would using 'make oldconfig' using the current stock kernel config before running menuconfig toggle the setting in the newly compiled kernel or is this icon and font controlled somewhere else in another config file? Can you use 'make oldconfig' if moving from say a 2.4.26 kernel to 2.4.28 or are there issues with compatibility? regards, rotbau _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

You must not be an American then. A Red-Blooded American (TM) would welcome the opportunity to give up any and all rights for the sake of "security". Anyone who says otherwise not only is un-American, but also against liberty, justice, and Freedom Fries. > My not so humble opinion. (I am not a lawyer.) I agree. IANAL as well, but I believe charging this guy with terrorism and holding him under USA-PATRIOT Act clauses and trying him in a FISA ("secret") courts are two different things. While I find the USA-PATRIOT Act extremely errossive of our freedoms, I believe it has only been applied once or twice to an American citizen. All others have been foreigners or aliens. Not that this makes it okay, by any means. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

They sell your email address immediately. You'll start receiving spam in your inbox before the first copy of the magazine arrives. http://www.cuj.com/ http://www.ddj.com/ http://www.samag.com/ http://www.sdmagazine.com/ I think you can get a free subscription to sdmagazine.com, the others you have to pay for. The magazines have a heavy Microsoft focus but occassionally touch on open source topics. -- scot _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

Makes sense to me, though I'm not really certain. I just put the (TM) in there in the typical Internet "I'm going to make this appear even more rediculous" fashion. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

From there, act on the messages (see below). With the webpage approach, the more exposure the better - posting to forums or message boards that get archived are more likely to be crawled than some random domain that doesn't get any traffic. Be careful when "seeding" sites with an address - a lot of times they will let you know that they're going to share your address with "marketing partners". Granted, confirmed opt-in is the only legitimate way to build e-mail lists, but just keep in mind that there is a distinction, and by manually signing up you will get some of both. You may also consider asking on spam-l, and in the news.admin.net-abuse hierarchy (but read charters/FAQs first!) There is (was?) a project on-line that had 100% pure spam in various formats that could be downloaded - I can't remember the name of it, but it was on slashdot, and can probably be google'd. If you want a pure spam feed (that is, 100% guaranteed spam, not being sorted automatically from a spam filter, and addresses that were harvested, not signed-up), we can talk off-list. I started a project long ago that involved spamtraps, and never did much with it. Some stats: -rw-rw---- 1 spam mail 87052466 Jan 10 13:13 /var/mail/spam -rw-rw---- 1 spam mail 60110600 Aug 24 08:05 /var/mail/spam.0.gz bash-2.05$ grep -c TXT /etc/namedb/...DSNBL Zone... 3992 (3,992 IP's in my DNSBL - they expire automatically after 2 weeks). bash-2.05$ grep spamtrap /etc/mail/aliases | wc -l 191 Many of those 191 are feeds from other people that have setup a spamtrap address and aliased it to me (for my project). Unfortunately those are not well-advertised. The remainder are addresses at some of my domains that I've littered in HTML (as comments and not) and news postings. With some, I sent "remove me I'm on the AOL!" replies back to all (From, Reply-To, Errors-To, and any addresses in the message body), as well as visiting the websites, to confirm the address and attract some more spew. The perl to automagically HTTP GET all of the URLs referenced in the spam was not particularly difficult, and I think it greatly improved the exposure. I've since lost the code, and I haven't run it in awhile. Even with all of this, running for well over a year, I only get a few hundred messages/day to the spamtraps. In comparison with my real address, my anti-spam system has stopped 4,305 since the 1st of this year. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

The other magazines I listed are more MS focused.

You will need a windows 98 boot disk as NT/XP does not use Fdisk. at the command prompt c:\fdisk /mbr I don't think it will help but it may work. You may be better off with Knoppix, I read something on slashdot today that talked about this sort of problem. Hope this helps. BTW... I was stopped at a stop sign about 9:15pm this evening and BANG. I got rear ended. Blond, 17, big Americans, I still called the police. The snow has turned crummy drivers, in to REALLY crummy drivers.

While I agree, America's laws dictate that the party involved has a right to a fair trial by peers, have legal representation, and be allowed the rights of any other person charged criminally. I'm going to leave this thread alone after this post, as I don't think any of us know enough of this specific case to determine if this guy was held under the USA-PATRIOT Act, FAA regulatory violoations, or otherwise. IMHO, this guy is guilty of being criminally stupid, but I don't think charges of terrorism would be warranted, except to "make an example" of him, which is not what our court system should be used for. Now on to bigger and better things. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

When they sent me an email asking me to confirm that the email address in my key was valid it came in unencrypted, with a plain text password, and just a click needed to claim it. I know that's not integral to their trust mechanism, but it still seems sloppy. For now I'll stick with biglumber and the old keyservers even though their lack of good deletion support is frustrating as hell. Incidentally, thanks to Randy for bringing up my pending key singing again.

Hi George - all I use are Cisco Aironet 350 cards - they're awesome. A bit more pricey than most, but they have killer rf performance. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

You wireless access point isn't configured correctly. Your "router", which i'll refer to as your wireless access point from now on, or WAP, is NATing. So is your firewall. Only NAT once! Also, both devices are handling DHCP - it's a mess. You should look for a 'bridge mode' option in your WAP. If I were at home i'd look at mine and tell you exactly what it's called. Turn off NAT, turn off DHCP. That's the job of your firebox. Then the wireless devices will use 192.168.1.2 as their default gateway (the firebox). Think of the WAP as simply a wireless switch - that's all you want it to do. Let me know if you're still having problems and i'll probe my configuration at home and tell you more specifically. I run almost the same configuration as you do.

Its most useful feature, the Summary view, is gone; now there's something called Exchange that doesn't do much of anything that I can see. Can anyone tell me how to get back to 1.4?

Also, both devices are handling DHCP - it's a mess. The bigger problem, I think, is that you've tried to assign both the internal and external sides of the Wireless router the same subnet. So when you ping 192.168.1.2, it's looking for that host on the Wireless side. > You should look for a 'bridge mode' option in your WAP.

Keep in mind here, by having an unfirewalled wireless connection, you provide mediocre protection (at best) to your internal network. If this is a non-critical network (which it probably isn't, considering you invested in a Firebox) no biggie. Were I in your shoes, I would instead connect the Wireless router to the firebox in bridged mode, and then set up a separate zone on the firebox, segmented from anything on the wired side. Sorta like this: _---[wlan]-192.168.1.x/24 -net---[rtr]--[firebox]--| |_---[lan]-192.168.2.x/24 (That's gonna be f***ed up with a fixed font...) It sounds like this may be what you're trying. What you actually use for subnet addresses (192.168.1.x/24, say) doesn't matter, so long as they're different. Otherwise, your firewall doesn't actually know which subnet to look to. What's happening instead, is something like this: --net--[rtr]--[24.123.x.x--firebox--192.168.1.2]--[192.168.1.4--wlan--192.168.1.1]----[PCs] Hopefully this makes sense...I'll try to explain this some so you understand what's up a bit better. Dan said your firebox is doing NAT, (Network Address Translation) which it is. This is evidenced by the fact that the firebox has two IP addresses in different subnets. The wireless router is trying to do the same thing, only both sides are in the same subnet. The wireless router can't decide where to go with 192.168.1.x traffic, so it's going to stay inside by default, which is why you can't ping your firebox. As Dan said, you should put the wireless router into bridged mode (think: hub) which will make your network (at least the wireless portion) look like this: --net--[rtr]--[24.123.x.x--firebox--192.168.1.2]--[wap]--[192.168.1.x--PCs] The wireless router is now doing nothing but taking traffic from the wired side and passing it to the wireless, and vice-versa. Long winded, and not very coherent, (not enough coffee) but I hope this helps some. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

When my wife and I got married and moved to Saint Paul she had three years done of a 4 year program with a potential for a double major in Writing and Biology. She transfered to Metropolitan State University in Saint Paul where they would only accept a certain number of credits. She ended up needing to do 1 year for the biology class and then with the BS in Bio, she could get an MS in writing with the writing credits she already had. It's something to look into. They have independent study classes, online courses (I think), and like three campuses. www.metrostate.edu Is the URL, I think. Good luck!

Also, there is a completion B.S. at my school, its called Information Technology and let me tell you its no joke. www.smumn.edu Look it up in (under grad). Good luck. Dave It sucks!

Then try and find some place locally that is more convenient for filling out the requirements and transfer them back to finish the degree. Its been a long time since I had to worry about it, but in general it was easier to transfer credits outside of your field of study than those for classes for core courses, but the whole things is pretty ad hoc so I'd start with an academic counselor at the tech school and see what they say. --rick Brian Wall wrote: >Sorry for the OT post, but I need some advice.

The bigger problem, I think, is that you've tried to assign both the internal and external sides of the Wireless router the same subnet. So when you ping 192.168.1.2, it's looking for that host on the Wireless side. > You should look for a 'bridge mode' option in your WAP.

Keep in mind here, by having an unfirewalled wireless connection, you provide mediocre protection (at best) to your internal network. If this is a non-critical network (which it probably isn't, considering you invested in a Firebox) no biggie. Were I in your shoes, I would instead connect the Wireless router to the firebox in bridged mode, and then set up a separate zone on the firebox, segmented from anything on the wired side. Sorta like this: _---[wlan]-192.168.1.x/24 -net---[rtr]--[firebox]--| |_---[lan]-192.168.2.x/24 (That's gonna be f***ed up with a fixed font...) It sounds like this may be what you're trying. What you actually use for subnet addresses (192.168.1.x/24, say) doesn't matter, so long as they're different. Otherwise, your firewall doesn't actually know which subnet to look to. What's happening instead, is something like this: --net--[rtr]--[24.123.x.x--firebox--192.168.1.2]--[192.168.1.4--wlan--192.168.1.1]----[PCs] Hopefully this makes sense...I'll try to explain this some so you understand what's up a bit better. Dan said your firebox is doing NAT, (Network Address Translation) which it is. This is evidenced by the fact that the firebox has two IP addresses in different subnets. The wireless router is trying to do the same thing, only both sides are in the same subnet. The wireless router can't decide where to go with 192.168.1.x traffic, so it's going to stay inside by default, which is why you can't ping your firebox. As Dan said, you should put the wireless router into bridged mode (think: hub) which will make your network (at least the wireless portion) look like this: --net--[rtr]--[24.123.x.x--firebox--192.168.1.2]--[wap]--[192.168.1.x--PCs] The wireless router is now doing nothing but taking traffic from the wired side and passing it to the wireless, and vice-versa. Long winded, and not very coherent, (not enough coffee) but I hope this helps some. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

The problem is that the *.zip file is something we receive from a client so it is not something I can change easily or quickly. On a lark, I did go to the gzip site to see if gunzip could unzip a *.zip file but there was no joy. I did try the Java jar suggestion but the jar command just spun and never did extract the file.

If the SUN box has a 32bit processor, does it have the same limitation as the intel 32bit processors when addressing memory... 4GB? Maybe a machine with a 64bit processor would be able to unzip the file. 64bit can address 16tb of memeory, with a 64bit operating system. It's a guess on my part, hope it's a good guess.

According to what I've read, the problem is related to how PKWare decided to implement large file support inside the archive. That is, this is not a memory addressing issue, filesystem issue, or an issue with Lempel-Ziv (well, obviously if the underlying filesystem can't handle these large files, it doesn't matter anyways...but I'm assuming if he's working with a 4GB file, that his underlying OS is capable of handling it. Just like I'm assuming he's got more than 4GB of disk space) They did some hackery like changing the ZIP header for these larger files, to identify them to be parsed in a different way when being uncompressed. The hackery was not well documented, so the Info-Zip developer is unable to duplicate it without a significant time investment. If anyone is interested, I wrote a perl implementation of LZ a number of years ago. It could compress and uncompress just fine, although it turned out to be lossy (my program, not LZ). _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

It's an add-on to Ext2, so it still has the same limitations that Ext2 has. The fixed internal structures of Ext2 are simply too small (too few bits) to capture large file sizes, extremely large partition sizes, and enormous numbers of files in a single directory. Moreover, the bookkeeping techniques of Ext2, such as its linked-list directory implementation, do not scale well to large file systems (there is an upper limit of 32,768 subdirectories in a single directory, and a "soft" upper limit of 10,000-15,000 files in a single directory.) To make radical improvements to Ext2, you'd have to make radical changes. Radical change was not the intent of Ext3. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

I would have had to compile a version of zip/unzip to include large file support. In the end, I had to move the files to a Windows box, unzip them with Winzip and then move them to my DB server for loading by SQL Bulk Loader (sigh). It worked but it was time consuming (no fiber to my desktop) and chewed up a lot of network bandwith. I thank you for your wonderful support, especially since it was non-Linux. I got a lot of good suggestions. Now that I know this, I need to get with the client to see if we can work something out next time.

Do you know if Time/Warner blocks VNC traffic (TCP port > 5900)? I'm in North Minneapolis on TW RoadRunner (residential) and I've never known them to block any port. The only thing they've done occasionally is check to see if there is an open relay on port 25. I have used both ping and VNC on road runner. Any other hardware like a router involved in your network that could be blocking VNC or Pings?

There's a restriction that you can't transfer files with the client. http://www.LogMeIn.com ``LogMeIn.com provides secure remote access solutions. All products include a desktop remote control that allows you to use your PC from any web-enabled remote device, including PDAs and laptops.`` Like GoToMyPC, because it runs as a service (on XP) and connects to their servers through port 80, it slices and dices firewalls.

I sure would be helpful to know an exact number if anyone knows. (ext3 is basically the same ext2) "There is a limit of 32k (32768) subdirectories in a single directory, a limitation likely of only academic interest, as many people don't even have that many files (though huge mail servers may need to keep that in mind). The ext2 inode specification allows for over 100 trillion files to reside in a single directory, however because of the current linked-list directory implementation, only about 10-15 thousand files can realistically be stored in a single directory. This is why systems such as Squid ( http://www.squid-cache.org ) use cache directories with many subdirectories - searching through tens of thousands of files in one directory is sloooooooow. There is however a hashed directory index scheme under development which should allow up to about 1 million files to be reasonably stored in a single directory." : -- Tom Penney _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

Vonage users, did you have to purchase any hardware to make the system work? Did the hardware they provide (if any) just plug right into your network hub/switch and run?

I dumped my landline two years ago and I haven't looked back. I have a nice Sprint phone and I pay $50/mo for service including free calling after 7:00 pm on weekdays and all weekend (7:00 pm Friday to 7:00 am Monday). In addition, I get 500 minutes per month on weekdays. People think my phone sounds fine. I don't have voicemail at home to check and people know how to find me. I have never gone over on minutes. They probably have an even better deal by now. My only reason for a landline would be for use with my DirecTiVo, but that actually works without phone after installation (I guess I miss software updates and pay-per-view). For installation, I ran a 50' phone cord to my neighbor's house! That did it.

If I had to do things over again, I'd get a landline first, and port the number to Vonage, instead of having Vonage assign me a number. Since they've assigned me one, I can't port it out to anyone else (basically, vonage leases their DID's from another company, so Vonage is the customer on record for the phone number - to port to another provider, you have to be the customer on record for the number. Even if Vonage wanted to port, it wouldn't be easy.) If I had brought the number in with me, I'd be able to take it out to another provider. Other than that, I haven't had any problems with Vonage as a landline replacement. I've just outgrown them; I run my own Asterisk box, and would rather have full control over the number instead of routing it through an ATA first. What I ended up doing is getting a DID from another provider, and have Vonage simultaneously ring that DID (which rings into my Asterisk box) and the ATA, instead of just ringing the ATA. Oh, yeah, for those of you wondering if a modem will work on Vonage, the one time I tried it I got a 28.8 connection (to AOL from a friend's laptop); I was rather impressed. Of course, YMMV. :) As long as you've got a decent firewall (IE, Linux box), you shouldn't have any problems getting Vonage to work behind it. You can also use their router if you desire the built-in QoS; I just use Wondershaper on my Linux firewall to handle the QoS stuff. -- Nate Carlson | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

Very cool... a couple questions: 1) have you every used a SIP softphone (including the proprietary Linux one) with Vonage? If so, how did it work? how does it compare with Asterisk softphones? 2) did you consider GNU Bayonne instead of Asterisk (open vs. closed protocol, SIP gateway, etc.)? 3) I'm not sure I grok the architecture here... does Vonage make an IP call to your Asterisk server (or is this all on the PSTN side?)? You don't have a landline at all, right? So when you make an outbound call via Asterisk it gets routed to the PSTN via Vonage? 4) Is there a point at which you wouldn't need Vonage anymore (or will they always serve as the PSTN gateway, forwarding/voice mail agent, etc.)? I actually think this is very on-topic!

I always prefer hardphones, though. :) Note that you can't use a softphone with Vonage unless you pay $10/mo extra for a Softphone line -- they don't give you your authentication credentials for your primary line. Any plain 'ol SIP softphone should work OK with Asterisk - I've used kphone and a few others that I can't remember offhand. > 2) did you consider GNU Bayonne instead of Asterisk (open vs. closed protocol, > SIP gateway, etc.)? I took a quick look at Bayonne; Asterisk seemed to be much more active, so I went with it. I only actively use IAX and SIP, but Asterisk does also support MGCP, H323, and various others. > 3) I'm not sure I grok the architecture here... does Vonage make an IP call > to your Asterisk server (or is this all on the PSTN side?)? > You don't have a landline at all, right?

I've got my Vonage account configured so that when a call comes in from me, it gets routed both to my ATA, and to a DID that is assigned by Clearpath1 (VoIP provider), and delivered to me via IAX. So, as far as Vonage is concerned, it's a PSTN line. I have a few Asterisk-connected phones, and a cordless phone on the Vonage ATA. When someone calls the Vonage number, both sets of phones ring, and whoever picks up first gets the call.

Well, if they would let me port the number away, I wouldn't need them right now. But, alas, they won't, so until I can convince my wife to switch our phone number, I keep Vonage. :) > I actually think this is very on-topic!

No; what they are saying is that if you have a DSL line, you cannot cancel your phone line, so you need to keep your existing phone number and add Vonage. If you have standalone DSL, there is no dialtone on the line, so you can ignore that. -- Nate Carlson | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

I'm assuming that there always has to be a provider involved at some point in this process to interface with POTS users and to provide the routing to a phone number for incoming calls, is that true? It would be neat if I could ditch phone providers all together and set up my own own all IP based system but I'm guessing that's out of the question at this point. > I actually think this is very on-topic!

I've done that before. Now I'm interested in moving to VNC Enterprise because of the convenience of built-in encryption. I am most interested in getting VNC Enterprise server running on Linux. Then I can allow many users to have VNC sessions running and I won't have to worry about security. I don't want to have to trust them to use SSH, and I don't want to force them to take the extra steps to set it up. (I think I could force them to use SSH by compiling VNC with libwrap.a and using tcp wrappers /etc/hosts.{deny,allow} to block connections other than from localhost.)

Unfortunately, those people have no technical knowledge or skill at all, as far as I can tell. Say "port" to them and see how they react (mixture of fear, embarrassment and defensiveness followed by calm acceptance). Anyway, I did call and convinced them to connect me with someone who knows something. He wasn't in, but they promise that he will call me later. I'll tell you how it turns out.

Well, you *could* go all IP, but then you wouldn't be able to talk to the PSTN at all. :) (Yes, you need a provider to interface VoIP<->PSTN. That will always be the case, although it wouldn't surprise me if in the future some of the large telcos offered direct VoIP connections.) -- Nate Carlson | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

Well, I never had a DMZ and I didn't change the way the Linksys router worked when I moved to my new address. It is *possible* that I am not remembering correctly and ping stopped working when I started using the Linksys router, but I really don't think so. I often use ping to check my connection so I'm almost 100% sure it was working before I moved. I made no changes in the Linksys configuration when I moved. I will look into this some more though.

In order to use any C struct objects in Perl you'll also need to use C::Include. As always, inter-lanaguage programming can be a little hairy, and I'm not familier with get_console_fd in particular, but it should work.

We got our TWT frac DS-3 a couple of years ago and pricing was good then (it was especially good on full DS-3 commits). It was only a few months after we bought the two PA-2T3+ cards and smartnet that they announced their metro-area ethernet offering (so, after we dropped a bunch of money in DS-3 hardware...). Pricing for the same speed service over MAE rather than DS-3 was considerably cheaper, as you can see, the hardware was cheaper, and the product seems to be just as good. In fact, I setup a FreeBSD based router for a friend/webhost that had 10M to TW. A cheap intel box, a handful of 100M NICs and a quick install and config of Zebra, and they had "hot router love" - a poor man's internet router taking full routes from 2 providers. Performed flawlessly. And they didn't have to drop $700 on 128M cisco-certified DIMMs. I had a partial DS-3, a friend of mine runs a local ISP/hosting provider and has 200M to them, yet another friend at another hosting company has 10M ethernet to them. All of us have found them to be reliable, and support to be first-rate. I would highly recommend TWT to anyone looking for big pipe in the cities, especially if you're in the 494 or downtown areas where the fiber build is economical. As above, get their well-priced metro ethernet service and throw together a cheap Linux box as a router. I thought RT had turned up a TWT connection (in fact, I remember spouting off to Nate how great they were...), but I don't see 4323 in their path list. The only thing I wish they had was a better BGP community system. They supported NOEXPORT and NOADVERTISE, but I would've liked a way to control things like local pref, peer AS prepending, etc. using communities. _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?

The system BIOS is able to read that section of the CD and load it into memory. If you burn the floppy image directly to a CD, it is no longer what I would call a `true' CD. It doesn't follow any of the standards at all and wouldn't be recognizeable as a CD by anything trying to read it. You wouldn't be able to put anything else on the CD (well, I suppose you could read it back with `dd', but that's a suboptimal option). Also, as it would (at most) only the boot block of the floppy image would be read, you wouldn't be able to boot off of it. Now, I should point out that mkisofs is only one of several different programs out there for making CDs. Unfortunately, I can't name any off the top of my head. (/me goes and throws Google at that problem..) There's a linux-kernel mailing list thread here: [http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9908.3/0765.html] Hmm.. I'm not finding much. There is a modified version of mkisofs called `mkhybrid', which is mostly for creating bootable CDs for the Macintosh. I am wondering what the `-G' generic bootable image option is, though. (for mkisofs and mkhybrid) There's a patch to mkisofs at http://www.colonel-panic.com/linux/ that was referenced in the above lkml thread, which might help for certain things, but I'm not sure. Again from the kernel thread, H. Peter Anvin is apparently working on a boot loader named `lbcon'. However, I'm not sure if it's any better or worse than the other boot loaders out there (GRUB is good, for instance), and he hasn't show any code that I'm aware of. Well, that's all getting a bit complicated. If you had a while to go write a new bootloader, this stuff might start getting really interesting, but that's probably only going to hurt things. Getting back to what John said about 1.7MB recovery floppies, I wonder if you could get one of those to work by just using dd to bring them up to 2.88MB. I don't really know much about filesystem layouts, so I don't know if that would be really bad or no problem at all. Also, with CDs, you don't need to have much on the initial floppy image anyway. I'd just have a kernel and an initial ramdisk with enough intelligence to search around for the CD and mount it as the root filesystem (which is essentially what the LinuxCare BBC does, though it mounts a compressed image of a filesystem that is on an iso9660 filesystem..) -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ In the carpool lane to / \/ \(_)| ' // ._\ / - \(_)/ ./| ' /(__ Nirvana. \_||_/|_||_|_\\___/ \_-_/|_|\__\|_|_\ __) [ Mike Hicks | http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ | mailto:hick0088@tc.umn.edu ] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe@mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help@mn-linux.org From bogus@does.not.exist.com Mon Jan 17 13:06:07 2005 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Mon Jan 17 13:08:06 2005 Subject: No subject Message-ID: ipchains -p TCP -y -d 199.95.207.0/24 ipchains -p TCP -y -d 199.95.208.0/24 -- \\\|/// \\ - - // ( @ @ ) ----oOOo--(_)-oOOo-------------------------------------------- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX) 132 21801 Industrial Blvd | (FX) 763-428-9126 Rogers, MN 55374 | (PCS) 612-306-6055 ---------------Ooooo------------------------------------------ ( ) ooooO ) / ( ) (_/ \ ( \_) --------------E30DCB16C1AC9006A9B3F7D2 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe@mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help@mn-linux.org --------------E30DCB16C1AC9006A9B3F7D2-- From bogus@does.not.exist.com Mon Jan 17 13:06:07 2005 From: bogus@does.not.exist.com () Date: Mon Jan 17 13:08:12 2005 Subject: No subject Message-ID: "High performance Lucent DHCP, Microsoft and IBM DHCP servers..."

The install is nicer than Redhat's, in fact, on install it will download and install crypto packages like OpenSSH, OpenSSL libs, apache with mod_ssl, cryptographic kernel extensions, and other stuff (you have to choose Expert install for this). You can also install ReiserFS on install and format partitions with it, except it won't set up your initrd to load the ReiserFS module on boot, so your /boot and / still have to be ext2. I still use Redhat on servers, but mostly because Dell sucks and ships their servers with proprietary RAID cards and they only have a module disk for Redhat.

Debian is pretty strict security wise with their default configurations. I'm not saying you should trust them entirely though. If you are being lazy, yes you can use the -y switch with apt and apt will answer yes to all the prompts created by the package maintainer. This is a rather dargerous switch to have, but it can be extremely useful when combined with the -d switch. Example: I can set up a cron job to run apt-get update (updates the list of available packages) apt-get -d -y upgrade (downloads upgraded packages, but takes no other action. -y suppress the X packages upgraded, need to download XXX bytes, do you want to continue? message) With that going you'll have your any security updates allready downloaded when you pull into the office in the morning. Or you won't have to wait for the download phase when doing an upgrade to the unstable system. This is a rather useful cronjob if you're running debian unstable on a modem. Set it to download the new packages while you're asleep or away from home. > With such a system, I can see a whole new crop of cracker attacks as a > result of such ever-user-friendly, "plug-and-play"ish packages. I do belive Red Hat allready experienced this with their update system. One of their deamons running as root had a default password for every RedHat box or something. Good FUD material until it was pointed out ummm, MSSQL defaults to no password on the sa account. If anything, the packages from the official debian archives are more secure then those you compile yourself. Ever look into what it takes to become a official debian maintainer? It's a lengthy process of meeting (in person) keysigning, and what not. Personally, I'd rather grab my software pre-compiled from the official debian archives than compile it myself. The end product, as stated before, is basically the same. The debian source packages are just an added convience. Yes, I could grab the source from freshmeat, and create my own debian package OR just install it to /usr/local, but why should I when the official package maintainer has made it that much easier for me? As for the configurations, well, if there was something really icky in a default config in debian, the package would be updated and thrown into the security archive or just replaced if it came from the unstable branch. Often the software doesn't have a default config, but generates one based on your responses. You are still encouraged to check it out and make sure everything is ok. It almost sounds like you opinion is "I have to go through the code bit by bit before it goes on my server." Well, if that's the way you like to do things, fine by me, knock yourself out. Me, I'll take pre-packaged software when I can get it and compile it when I need to. Maybe I should just shutup about Linux and go install OpenBSD. :P~ > In contrast, I would encourage the download and compilation of the > sources.

There is a certin joy to compiling your own biniaries, but if you don't do it in a "correct" manner, you're asking for just as much trouble as your are by answering yes to everything. On systems that do have package managment, you also risk breaking that package managment. If you're compiling it yourself, it's best not to install it to /usr but to /usr/local. (The idea behind local is that this software is specific to your local setup, and isn't found in the "stock" distribution/package/etc.) You could also use /opt over /usr/local, but I never really got the point of /opt. Yes, it's optional. By that definition, everything that isn't the base system should be in /opt. I don't know if you had any issues with the stow suggestion, but I really like stow. It give you another level of control that you don't get when you just compile and make install. And it makes it extremely easy to remove custom compiled software. I haven't encountered anything that broke with stows methods, even vmware was ok when I forced it to install in /usr/local/stow/vmware (/usr/local/stow/vmware/man, /usr/local/stow/vmware/bin, /usr/local/stow/vmware/doc, /usr/local/stow/vmware/lib, etc...) I had to change the path at every prompt, but I won't spend more than 10 minutes tracking down every file it installed should I ever want to remove it. If you want no package control what so ever, feel free to choose slackware. It's package managment gets to job done, but compared to an RPM or deb based system, pretty ruidmentry. I can see the appeal there if you're installing say, one server and you want it to be secure and you don't want anything you don't absoutely need. If you get into mutiple servers/workstations, managment/version control/etc are necissities in the eyes of most. There is yet another advantage to package managment systems. The public servers I have here are bare minimum. No compiler, no libiaries and the like. With debian's make-kpgk tool I can easily compile new kernels for these servers on my workstation and scp the resultion deb to the server for installation.

Hey, what timing. I've been trying to figure out what happened to the module on my nic card after the installfest. Honestly, didn't think about it then. On my laptop, IBM Thinkpad, I'm using a 3com 3c574 card. When I watch bootup, and also do dmesg, I see the card being found and what I believe is the module loading. When I do an lsmod, here's the output for 3c574 modules: module Used by 3c574_cs 0 (unused) serial_cs 0 (unused) ds 2 [3c574_cs ds i82365] pcmcia_core 0 [3c574_cs serial_cs i82365] When running netconfig, I get an error saying that the card wasn't probed. The only difference between now and prior to the installfest is that Slack 7.1 is now on instead of SuSe 7.0. I'm sure it's a case of something I'm not doing right, but what I'm not sure.

I haven't tried assigning it the static IP's since I've received them though either. I've looked at a couple of websites on this, and they were saying that I need to compile in synchronous support for the card, but this is an external device. Does this still hold true for me to get 128 or higher connections? About 99.9% of the information that I've run into is almost entirely specific to internal ISDN devices, and as far as I can figure out doesn't apply to my situation. From what I've been able to figure out (with Bob's help), is that in my scenario I use it just like I would an external modem. I've posted a couple of times previously, but didn't get much feedback. I didn't have as much info the previous times though either. Anyone have some ideas where to go from this point?

You might be able to get around this with pam-ntdom. Someone might have hacked together an Active Directory PAM module now (or maybe updated kerberos/ldap clients/modules to handle AD...) Configuring the above modules isn't a big issue either. Just create a config file with the name of the domain controller.

And if a truly open version of Hailstorm were developed, I would not hesitate to jump on the bandwagon when the time came. Whatever the license, as long as it is free-as-in-speech, I will be reasonably happy with it. My concern is that there will probably be many developers who will not stop to consider the ramifications of working with MS Hailstorm, simply because it looks to be the defacto "standard", when it might be better to either 1) put up with the inconvenience of not having such a framework, or 2) develop for ourselves an open framework similar to Hailstorm, but without the licensing, copyright, and IP issues.

It seems that an ActiveX control that ships with the new Office XP PIM and email application could enable a hacker to gain control of the user's system, a painfully familiar problem these days. The ActiveX control, called the Microsoft Outlook View Control, displays the Outlook inbox, so it's sort of central to the whole affair. The bug was first discovered by security researcher Georgi Guninski. Microsoft says it will prepare a patch as soon as possible, though Guninski says he already has one: "Uninstall Office XP and Windows." Funny guy."

There is common belief that disabling the web interface will prevent this. It's not true; mine's been disabled every since this was first reported a year ago and I still got hit. The problem is that "set web disable" prevents the web server from fiddling the router config, but doesn't actually stop the server from parsing input from port 80, which is what locks up the box. An improved workaround is to disable the web-admin interface and change its port number with "set web port 53496" (replace with some random port number). At least that'll stop it for the near term. Long term you need to get updated firmware, but of course Cisco won't distribute firmware directly to customers, even though they have public announcements of the existence of bugs and bugfixes. To actually get the firmware you have to get it from your DSL line provider (Qwest, in my case), and Qwest couldn't care less about security with respect to home users, so they've never bothered to offer fixed versions of CBOS. -- Please don't feed the engineers.

You can use raw disks if you want Workstation to run one or more guest operating systems from existing disk partitions. Raw disks may be set up on both IDE and SCSI devices. At this time, however, booting from an operating system already set up on an existing SCSI disk or partition is experimental. The most common use of a raw disk is for converting a dual-boot or multiple-boot machine so one or more of the existing operating systems can be run inside a virtual machine. Caution: If you run an operating system natively on the host computer, the switch to running it inside a virtual machine is like pulling the hard drive out of one computer and installing it in a second computer with a different motherboard and other hardware. You need to prepare carefully for such a switch. The specific steps you need to take depend on the operating system you want to use inside the virtual machine. For details, see Configuring a Dual-Boot Computer for Use with a Virtual Machine. You can also create a new virtual machine using a raw disk. For details, see Installing an Operating System onto a Raw Partition from a Virtual Machine. In most cases, however, it is better to use a virtual disk. Raw disk configurations are recommended only for expert users. -- Andrew S.

I was able to see about 1 every 5 seconds or so, with several bursts of 5 or 10 of them at once. And that was in Brooklyn park, not in the boonies. Also, since light pollution is such a problem near cities, I wonder if that pollution is mostly around a particular wavelength. If so, would it be possible to make a filter to look through that would not pass a particular range of wavelengths?

Here's a wonderful article about some of the "high-end" capabilities of Mandrake Linux that we don't hear enough about: "Mandrake Linux 8.1 is an excellent choice for organizations seeking a viable, stable, technologically advanced alternative to Windows-based servers. While its utility as an alternative desktop is still dependent upon (growing) commercial app support, Mandrake's server environment is an excellent--and affordable--option for use as an Internet gateway or file and print server for Windows (and Linux) clients. Its included applications and utilities are highly useful, and its support offerings are more than adequate for corporate server deployments. Also, its support for ACLs (with XFS) enhances Mandrake's capabilities as a file/print server in NT environments. Organizations looking for ways to lower their server costs would be well advised to evaluate this latest offering from Mandrake." http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2826684,00.html" Mandrake has gotten better about not turning on every service, they ask now before they turn it on and warn about any that are on by default. But, having said that, I still run RedHat on my servers and Mandrake on the desktop. Although, I have been having problems with 8.1 and am now running RH on one of my desktops.

With this information you can divine which directory the contains the startup script links used on boot. The startup scripts themselves (one for each service: httpd, cron,...) are in "/etc/rc.d/init.d/". They do the detail work of starting up and shutting down a service, depending on the argument given ("start" or "stop", and possibly others). The links are in the directories: "/etc/rc.d/rc1.d/", "/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/", etc., one for each runlevel (0-6). Let's pretend we are running at runlevel 5, and so are interested in the "/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/" directory and the symbolic links therein. The link names start with either "K" (kill) or "S" (start), and then a two digit number (00-99). After that, they usually have the name of the file they link to, so the file "/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S35cron" would link to "/etc/rc.d/init.d/cron". When your computer starts, and the runlevel is established, the computer goes through this directory and kills everything that starts with a "K" (this facilitates changing runlevels while operating) then starts everything that starts with an "S", in ascending order of the two digits that follow either letter. "0" runlevel is used for shutdown, and runlevel "6" is used for restart, so most of their links should start with a "K". I probably have muddied the things that were clear and totally obscured those that were hazy.

When an end user sends mail to the Internet from an Exchange Windows or Outlook client, a file attachment called Winmail.dat may be automatically added to the end of the message if the recipient's client cannot receive messages in Rich Text Format (RTF). The Winmail.dat file contains Exchange Server RTF information for the message, and may appear to the recipient as a binary file. It is not useful to non-Exchange Server recipients. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many mail clients don't work with RTF (a Microsoft proprietary format). I was just commenting on how bent out of shape some people were about the prior subject of adding X-message-flag headers to the mail messages they sent that would change the priority of the mail message. See this reference for more info: http://www.rodos.net/outlook/ It was just a simple comparison of what users of other e-mail clients put up with without saying anything to the user of the Outlook software. When you compare the statements made to Bob by Outlook users (some disparaging remarks about his mother for gosh sake!), you have to wonder what makes some people tick. I did not wish to get anybody worked up, but apparently talking about nuances of different e-mail clients is a touchy subject.

I just upgraded to an S24 video card and have not seen the problem since. I am rather disappointed with video speeds. My 333 dual-head Matrox PC is faster. The system currently has dual 2 GB drives. I wish to upgrade to much larger drives - dual 9 GB or larger is the goal. The sun site is not much help on what limits, if any, apply. At this time I have condensed the requirements to: 1" high, 80 pin SCSI SCA drives. As indicated, the drive must fit in a standard drive sled to lock in the funky cage and mate with the connectors. Sun site lists transfer rate as 10 mbs, higher speeds would seem to be a waste of money. I have found hints that some drives run too hot on a fully loaded system, but no definitive answers. Sun documents 1,2, 4, and 9 GB sizes several places on the site. Is there any sort of limit on size, assuming I can get the drive to fit otherwise? I have another 128 MB of sun memory ready to bring this fire breather up to a full 256 MB. Somehow, in the age of multi-GB main memory that just does not seem as impressive as it once did. When this is all finished, this box will push web pages using Apache, Perl, and MySQL. I *know* that a vanilla PC would be quicker but: Its a sun box - my very own sun at home! Ya, I know, get a life and all that. Sigh.

Heck, I'll even verify that. Yep. According to http://www.obsolyte.com/sun_ss5/ : "On the left side of the machine is room for two, 1-inch-high SCA SCSI Harddrives (stacked ontop of one another), with the SCA connector providing power, SCSIbus, and setting the SCSI ID." The only problems I foresee are sleds (which Carl says he has), and processor speed. (I hope, for your sake, that you don't have the 170MHz model; it's known for problems with Linux.) SCA hard drives aren't particularly difficult to find; I too have a couple of 1-gig's floating around, as well as a 2-gig I just (last night) cycled out of my Sparc 4 (which, unfortunately, can only evidently take one HD). If you're looking for bigger, MPC (http://www.materialsprocessing.com/) has some used SCA drives, some of them rather large. And huh, I don't think I was aware that Mandrake has a Sparc version, either.

For instance, some programs need to be run in a virtual desktop, while other windows run best in a managed or unmanaged mode. They've also researched what needs to be done to install extra fonts and other things. Additionally, in the Plugin package, there is a specialized plugin that allows a Windows plugin to run in a Linux browser. I think portions of that code may be proprietary to CodeWeavers, but I'm not sure. At any rate, I know you can accomplish a lot of this stuff on your own if you spend enough time. I don't think there's a good open source plugin (yet) that can allow a Windows plugin to run in a Linux browser (Plugger might allow it), so it's probably worth the $25.

In one particular document, the font is Times New Roman. When I open it in SO, all the apostrophes show up as question marks. I noticed SO indicates the font as Times. If I change the font to any other font, the apostrophes show up correctly. Thinking this was a font problem, I scanned my box for any *.ttf files. I did find some in /usr/local/staroffice6.0/share/fonts/truetype/ but none that look like Times New Roman. What do I need to do to make the document look correctly in SO? Is it just a matter of copying the appropriate ttf file from a windows box to my truetype dir? Are there any legal or patent issues with that?

Apparently, it does not yet provide locational services and such -- so you have to be able to state your address and such for the person on the phone. There's a trial in some state (don't recall which) that has E911 rolled out to all of their emergency centers to provide the address info which apparently works quite well, but as far as I know it's not in MN yet.

I need a Perl RE to replace a specific HTML comment, something like: I want to remove all comments with the word Josh in it. "Josh" could be anywhere inside the comment tags. Here's what I have (upon removing all line breaks): $text =~ s///g; This doesn't match though. I don't believe I want to use a .*? in place of the ([^\-][^\-][^>])*? because there might be many comments in a page containing this word and I don't want to replace what's between the comments. Basically an open comment followed by zero or more characters that are NOT the closing comment tag sequence, followed by Josh, followed by zero or more characters that are not the closing comment tag sequence, followed by the closing comment tag. The problem is the "not closing comment tag sequence". Is this not the right way to do this? Should match: I've also tried lookahead assertions, but I'm not very good with those, so I'm probably flailing around wildly here: $text =~ s/)Josh)*)-->//gx; Neither of these seem to do the job.

Here's a quote from http://vonage.com/features.php?feature=911 "Your Call Will Go To A General Access Line at the Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP). This is different from the 911 Emergency Response Center where traditional 911 calls go. * This means your call goes to a different phone number than traditional 911 calls. Also, you will need to state the nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your location and telephone number, as Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) personnel will NOT have this information on hand." A few years ago I sat with my friend at the MECC (Minneapolis Emergency Communication Center), he's a 911 operator there. They have several people staffing the emergency 911 lines and maybe one person on the non-emergency line. There seemed to be a significant difference in the resources that these to operators had immediately available to them. What it comes down to is: if you call 911 using Vonage "you will need to state the nature of your emergency promptly and clearly, including your location and telephone number" so that they can *transfer* *your* *call* to the emergency 911 operators. In an emergency, seconds count and this delay may be a minute or more. -- Eric (Rick) Meyerhoff From webmaster at mn-linux.org Tue Jan 18 10:52:15 2005 From: webmaster at mn-linux.org (TCLUG Classifieds) Date: Tue Jan 18 10:53:36 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] New TCLUG Classified Ad Message-ID: <200501181652.j0IGqFX13811@crusader.real-time.com> New TCLUG Classified Ad Category: Computer Type of Ad: For Sale Subject: Netgear WGR614 802.11b/g Router For sale, a "just like new" Netgear WGR614 wireless b/g router.

"Network unreachable" usually means that you have a routing error. In other words, the system can't figure out how to locate the network address you are trying to reach. Do you have a default gateway setup? I know you don't technically need a gateway since the machines are on the same subnet, but I have seen similar issues where adding the gateway fixed it. -- Dave Sherman MCSA, MCSE, CCNA [Insert witty .sig here.] From webmaster at mn-linux.org Tue Jan 18 15:10:37 2005 From: webmaster at mn-linux.org (TCLUG Classifieds) Date: Tue Jan 18 15:20:35 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] New TCLUG Classified Ad Message-ID: <200501182110.j0ILAbd20688@crusader.real-time.com> New TCLUG Classified Ad Category: Computer Type of Ad: For Free Subject: Rackmount hubs I have 4 rackmount hubs for free. 3 - 16 10BaseT ports, with AUI and BNC connectors. 1 - SMC3512TP, 12 10BaseT ports, 2 AUI and 1 BNC connectors.

You can either choose to completely disable the firewall, or simply go into the firewall and allow "printer and file shareing", this should allow ping requests to be returned. Quite frankly, if you Windows machine is sitting behind a good Linux firewall, then I would turn off the Windows firewall completely. Go to the Start menu, then Control Panel, and in the Control Panel, look for "Security Center". This will open yet another new window where you can choose to turn off the Windows Firewall. Be fore warned that once you turn off the Windows firewall, each time you reboot you will get a popup telling you that your Windows computer is not secure (big news flash there). In that same "Security Center" window, there is an option on the left side, should be the bottom option, something to the effect of "modify how windows security center notifies me". Left click on that to open yet another new window and in that window uncheck all the notification options. Good bye silly popup messages. Hope this helps. If anyone needs some quick answers on the Windows Firewall after SP2, give me a shout, I've had to deal with it at work for the last month or so (plus a couple months testing it to work in our environment).

The trick here is that the kde package is what's called a meta package. It doesn't contain anything itself, but it depends on most of the rest of KDE. So if you install kde, then you automatically install most of KDE, which is probably more than you need. > # apt-get -s remove atlantikdesigner > The following packages will be REMOVED: > atlantikdesigner kde kdeaddons > # apt-get -s remove kde > The following packages will be REMOVED: > kde > # apt-get -s remove kfax > ... > 203 upgraded, 23 newly installed, 4 to remove and 153 not upgraded. > > > >From the above it appears apt will let me remove kde. That's ok. Nothing should depend on the kde package, though many packages depend on, for example, kdebase > The kfax remove is thoroughly confusing.

In your case here you would need to add force options to get it to remove atlantikdesigner. I wouldn't recommend forcing removal unless you are sure of what you are doing. You are likely to break package. Just go a head and apt-get remove atlantikdesigner, unless you use something in kdeaddons. > Any clarification will be appreciated.

Whoever it is at microsoft who invented the "activity center" approach to UI design needs to be dragged out into the street and shot, and then have their corpse dismembered and desecrated. Separating out the functions instead of having them all in one unmanageable tree was a great idea. Using a pile of ugly buttons the size of a barn to switch them was not. They're HUGE. They take up over a third of the available vertical space on an 800x600 screen! With tiny fonts! Thats a huge amount of screen real estate taken up by a relatively trivial feature. And no, not everyone has a 19 inch 1600x1200 LCD panel and good eyesight. Lots of people, especially those in the corporate offices that Evolution is supposedly ment for, are running at 1024x768 at BEST, with big fonts, on aging blurry old hand-me-down 14in monitors, and are over the age of 30. If your solution is to get a better monitor, I don't want to hear it. It doesn't even make sense conceptually. Its a big box of buttons. Tabs along the top of the tree would make more sense. Or a popup menu. Or icons on the toolbar. There's no reason to eat up so much goddamn space. It at the very least should be optional. If you have nice big monitors and want huge Fisher Price "My First Outlook Clone" buttons, so be it. But I don't want 'em. (This has been another Lerwick misdirected axe grinding rant.)

Yes indeed Plone is a total failure, not TCLUG. It looks like you took the site down already, but I remember looking at it not so long ago, and it was running on Plone 1.0, with no useful extensions installed. Why didn't it have any useful features? Because there are none! The Plone development team is/was a total failure. Plone 1.0 was a glimpse of what could be possible, but in reality it was completely useless to anyone but Zope gurus who are able to hack the hell out of it to make even minimally useful. Mind you, the selling point of Plone is its supposed to be useable by completely non-technical users... The developers knew this. What did they do? They told everyone to just use CVS! Its much better! Which it was, but they left Plone 1.0 hanging as the only official release, completely unsupported and buggy as hell, for way too long. Unsupported by the Plone team itself, and unsupported by third parties because they moved all their code to work with the CVS version and didn't even try making it work with 1.0. Because 1.0 totally blew. They didn't even so much as release some "1.9333alpha" versions. This discourages non-developers from touching it. And discourages distributions from packaging it. And Debian is a complete failure as usual for taking nearly a YEAR to get 2.0 into UNSTABLE, yet they have Zope packages that are terrible and don't even work out of the box in testing... Basically, Plone was WAY too overhyped as being the ultimate user friendly CMF even your grandmother could use, long before it was even close to being ready to be used by anyone but Zope gurus. They should have released 1.0 as an ALPHA PREVIEW and 2.0 should have been 1.0. ;P Try again with 2.0? I've been hosting some sites on 2.0 for a while now. Just a few days ago I upgraded to the new Debian unstable packages, and moved one of my sites to Zope 2.7. 2.7 is laid out much better that 2.6 was, and actually sets up an instance and works right out of the box. It looks like Zope/Plone is finally getting close to being the easy to use turnkey solution it claims to be... The extensions out there are still kind of terrible. Is there a Forum that doesn't suck? CMFBoard is the only actively developed one I've been able to find, and its still a bit buggy and lacks such essential features as being able to move topics to different forums...

It will allow you to visually browse all packages, read descriptions, (You would be able to see that kde is a virtual package...) and easily follow the dependencies around and see whats going on. Its served me well in untangling bizzare dependency problems. And it has the apparently unique feature of tracking which packages you've specifically asked to install, and those that were installed to fill a dependency. It'll ask you if you want to remove the packages when they are no longer depended upon, which helps combat cruft. I use aptitude exclusively. Even on Fedora...

Heh - my first gig as an independant contractor was at a place in Champlain that used Zope/Plone to host about 2 dozen CMS sites. I was to create a new Plone Product for a digital library with a MySQL backend. It was interesting, but not a very nice learning curve (plus I don't pride myself in Python programming skills). Thankfully I had one of the Plone gurus who worked in the office at the time hold my hand through the entire process. :) > And Debian is a complete failure as usual for taking nearly a YEAR > to get 2.0 into UNSTABLE, yet they have Zope packages that are > terrible and don't even work out of the box in testing... For these kinds of tools I always do a source build instead - which I must say in Zope 2.7 has been improved quite a bit since 2.4/2.5 - I was able to install Zope 2.7 / Plone 2.0.5 in a fairly short amount of time recently without incident. Plone install is simply untarring and copying to the Products directory. I'm pretty much a Slackware convert now though so I don't mind this type of administration. :) :) > The extensions out there are still kind of terrible. Is there a > Forum that doesn't suck?

I think Zope has this problem in general, products are not well maintained or do not cooperate with other products very well. I tried to install the Plone Collector product recently, but that required upgrading the Archetypes package, which when I tried to upgrade that caused havoc everywhere else. No notes in any Changelog about required package dependancies. DLL-hell in Zope! Documentation on many products is an absolute joke. Some Zope developers do a decent job, but many do not. Documentation in general on the Zope site is putrid (except for the books). Too many stale user contributed "HOWTOs" show up in the search engine, many of which are too outdated to be reliable. I always think someday I'll give Zope/Plone a longer look, but I just can't bring myself to trust its stability/maturity to make this leap. Now I'm ranting!

Long story - mainly to bandaid a problem that I should have saw coming when I started virtual hosting a long time ago. I've decided that the right course of action is to redo my directory structure which keeps web content and email messages for hosts under the same parent directory. Not a good idea in hindsite, permissions are not easy to manage so I was trying to use secondary groups in a clever way to get around this.

My MTA (qmail) is trying to > send a message to @hotmail.com' - which obviously doesn't exist with > the single quote at the end. Yeah, not the friendliest description in the RFC: ... ::= "@" ::= | ::= | "." ::= | ::= """ """ ::= "\" | "\" | | ::= | "\" ... Further down it mentions that is any of the 1st 128 ASCII characters, except for the special ones. The special characters do not include single quote. So I would say that per RFC <'test'@hotmail.com> is a legal address, but the single quotes around test are part of the address itself, and not a quoting character. Of course, with the different ways the standards are implemented, mileage may vary on how it gets parsed at the other end. Certainly hotmail wouldn't let you create such an address, so assuming it even accepted it and parsed it out to local delivery to account 'test' (single-quotes included)... I was able to get Sendmail to do it: echo "Test" | /usr/lib/sendmail "'test'@hotmail.com" (double quotes added for the shell) And I got a bounce back from Hotmail indicating that my side actually put the single quotes in the RCPT TO: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- <'test'@hotmail.com> (reason: 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable) I setup 'test2' in aliases to point to my account, and: telnet localhost 25 ... RCPT TO: <'test2'@whee.org> ... And got in my mailbox: Received: from localhost (titan [207.195.206.249]) by titan.whee.org (8.12.9/8.12.9) with SMTP id j0KFOm3f006498 for <'test2'@whee.org>; Thu, 20 Jan 2005 09:25:01 -0600 (CST) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ So Sendmail seems to agree with me that it is a valid address, and the single quotes would be considered part of the mailbox.

It's a very loosely coupled interface, which might help detangle the spaghetti code and tightly integrated dependencies that some application servers seem to have. For those developing with Python, you should definitely take a look at the PEP 333. ..

Its now the Grand Unified Groupware Server. It can serve IMAP and POP3, handle incoming and outgoing SMTP, as well as gating rooms to mailing lists. Why not have every flavor of cake and eat it too? But the real power lies in its native protocol. Email, shared folders, calendaring, directory service, file storage, load balancing and replication, group chat and instant messaging all in one integrated server, one protocol, and one TCP port. Instead of a mess of IMAP/SMTP/HTTP/LDAP/WebDAV/FTP/IRC/Jabber. The backend is solid, but sadly, clients for the native protocol are lacking at the moment. Supposedly the WebCit client is going through an overhaul to work better for email/webmail/web board style usage instead of the BBS style UI. And the text client is archaic by today's standards, but it works.

Actually, you can post something into a folder, IIRC, if you have public folders shared/enabled. IMAP allows for different namespaces [1]_, including #mh, #news, #ftp, and even ~. Theoretically, you COULD run an IMAP server for clients that do not have publically accessible email addresses. Email clients assume that you want to send email through an SMTP server, where as in fact, you could dump messages into any IMAP folder. The fault is in the client, not the protocol. BRAINSTORM: What if you had a drop-box for outgoing email on your IMAP server. It picks up messages and pops them over to its SMTP server for delivery. You wouldn't even need SMTP for your IMAP client! In fact, tying into your following suggestion, you could create a #bbs namespace that would be a public shared folder. > Sigh, so many ways to get it almost but not quite right...

You wouldn't even need SMTP for your IMAP client! yawn. get with the new century old man :) from my courier-mta imapd config file: ##NAME: OUTBOX:0 # # The next set of options deal with the "Outbox" enhancement. # Uncomment the following setting to create a special folder, named # INBOX.Outbox # # OUTBOX=.Outbox ##NAME: SENDMAIL:0 # # If OUTBOX is defined, mail can be sent via the IMAP connection by copying # a message to the INBOX.Outbox folder. For all practical matters, # INBOX.Outbox looks and behaves just like any other IMAP folder. If this # folder doesn't exist it must be created by the IMAP mail client, just # like any other IMAP folder. The kicker: any message copied or moved to # this folder is will be E-mailed by the Courier-IMAP server, by running # the SENDMAIL program. Therefore, messages copied or moved to this # folder must be well-formed RFC-2822 messages, with the recipient list # specified in the To:, Cc:, and Bcc: headers. Courier-IMAP relies on # SENDMAIL to read the recipient list from these headers (and delete the Bcc: # header) by running the command "$SENDMAIL -oi -t -f $SENDER", with the # message piped on standard input. $SENDER will be the return address # of the message, which is set by the authentication module. # # DO NOT MODIFY SENDMAIL, below, unless you know what you're doing. # SENDMAIL=/usr/bin/sendmail EOQ This what you were looking for? -- Munir Nassar From slushpupie at gmail.com Thu Jan 20 15:37:00 2005 From: slushpupie at gmail.com (slushpupie@gmail.com) Date: Thu Jan 20 15:43:48 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] SMTP Protocol Question In-Reply-To: <20050120104801.00003ba5@jtrutwinxp.ntbsi.bsi.corp> References: <20050120082840.00001af6@jtrutwinxp.ntbsi.bsi.corp> <20050120104801.00003ba5@jtrutwinxp.ntbsi.bsi.corp> Message-ID: On Thu, 20 Jan 2005 10:48:01 -0600, Josh Trutwin wrote: > [replying to list for archiving purposes] Thanks- I had not noticed the change (or the ongoing thread about the change) yet.

I brought it in to them and they did all the swapping of CPU, RAM, etc. and narrowed it down to the system board. They did not seem to care about anything but discovering the problem. Anyway, my point is: call them or just go in and see if they will help. My guess is that if you go when they are not busy, like a weekday morning, they would be glad to spend the short time it should take to narrow down the problem.

I have fc3 running on a k7s5a mainboard with an audigy platinum for sound. I can't get the midi ports on the front of the whatever-they-call-it-that-sits-in-a-5.25-drive-bay device to work. The alsa driver web pages say that the front ports are unusable; I've seen other things that say you just have to send a control sequence to the device to activate them (and the IR port). Just wondering if anyone on this list has had any success with using this card for MIDI in. After two nights of googling, I'm starting to think maybe I'll cut my (time) losses and just buy a better-supported device. Any suggestions for one of those? On a more or less related note, the lsm module from ccrma doesn't seem to be working properly on my system. A bit of history on this system: I was running RH9, then yum upgraded to FC2, then yum upgraded to FC3. So I'm not entirely sure whether the SELinux stuff was ever installed properly...on fresh installs of FC3 I've noticed the installer program asks how you want SELinux installed...but I remember nothing like that when I yum upgraded my home system. For example, when I try to start jackd using jackstart, it complains that capabilities are only "=ep" when they ought to be "=eip". And even when I successfully start jackd by invoking it just as jackd, apps like muse won't start and complain that they can't connect to jackd (even though everything is running under the same uid). thanks people, s -- Steve Linabery World Cycling Productions From tclug at ryanorourke.org Fri Jan 21 15:49:04 2005 From: tclug at ryanorourke.org (Ryan O'Rourke) Date: Fri Jan 21 15:54:12 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] Mailing lists suck.

Here are two oposing views on the subject: http://www.unicom.com/pw/reply-to-harmful.html and a reply: http://www.metasystema.net/essays/reply-to.mhtml Any MUA worth the trouble (like mine - Sylpheed!) should recognize a mailing list email and allow configuration of it's reply options or automatically set the reply-to to go to the list address.

One point of irritation is EVERY other list *I* happen to be on, mangles reply-to. And its how the old list worked for many years. So its deeply ingrained habit now to just be able to hit Reply, no matter how "incorrect" it may be. > Personally, it annoys the heck out of me to get a direct copy of the > message instead of just receiving it through the listserv. Procmail rules > on List-Id don't work very well on direct replies, after all! This is the other point of irritation. The fact that weird and annoying issues like this exist in the first place, are the reason I think mailing lists are an ugly kludge created to solve a problem that no longer exists. Another reason? The bounce problem. Bob said it himself: > A random test of 100 email address from the subscriber database came > up with over 70%(!) of them bouncing (so much for mailman's bounce > detection, thus why VERP is being turned on). How much resources on how many servers are being wasted on bounces? Why is it so tricky to detect them? Using a "push" distribution method for many-to-many communication just isn't a great fit. Mailing lists made sense back when everyone wasn't on the net full time, or even directly connected to the net at all, (UUCP, FidoNet, Bitnet, Compuserve...) but it really doesn't anymore.

It's been argued again and again. Personally, I think email clients can make pretty good guesses as to what is a list email and what is a personal email and provide the appropriate "reply to" options. Email lists shouldn't bother with munging Reply-To fields, but Mailman is pretty smart about leaving a Reply-To field alone if it's been used by a list member for a specific purpose. Let's say I post an email prompting people to vote for something, and I set the Reply-To field to something like chewie+vote001@wookimus.net. Now my procmail script can pick up replies to that address, as long as the Reply-To field hasn't been munged by the list server. Reply-To can be useful, but it should be used intelligently, not as a crutch for lazy email users. -- Chad Walstrom http://www.wookimus.net/ assert(expired(knowledge)); /* core dump */ -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

For those who don't know, here's a simple homebrew ATX power supply tester. You need: hard drive that spins, paper clip. Plug the hard drive in as normal. Unplug the 20 pin ATX connector from the motherboard. Turn the connector so the little plastic clip is facing you. Take the paper clip and short together pins 14 and 15. Pin 14 is 4th from the left (usually green), pin 15 is one more to the right (usually black). The hard drive should spin up. Don't keep the power supply on for more than a couple seconds, underloading a power supply may damage it. I have a power supply tester at work that's the same concept, except it has a massive carbon resistor/heatsink thing on it negating the need for the hard drive. -Brian From esper at sherohman.org Sat Jan 22 13:13:18 2005 From: esper at sherohman.org (Dave Sherohman) Date: Sat Jan 22 13:17:28 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] Mailing lists suck.

I dislike it when list management programs break this expectation as a matter of course. Now, if we were to get all common MUAs to support separate "reply to sender" and "smart reply" functions where "reply to sender" would always do exactly that and "smart reply" would detect mailing lists, check reply-to:, etc., then I would have no problem with that. Setting reply-to: on lists tries to turn "reply to sender" into "smart reply", which is just bad because a) it's not very smart and b) if I say "reply to sender" I mean "reply to sender". But, considering the failure of mutt-like "reply to list" commands to appear in all common MUAs, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that a widely-implemented "smart reply" won't be happening any time soon, either. > Yes.

Every other list I happen to be on does not insert reply-to: headers, with the exception of the half of them that are run through yahoo groups. My deeply ingrained habit, then, is to use mutt's reply-to-list function when that's what I want to do, so that I don't have to remember how the list I'm on at the moment does it. And, yes, I had completely forgotten that the old list had set reply-to: on messages because of this; if I had remembered that detail, I probably wouldn't have commented on the topic in the first place. > > Personally, it annoys the heck out of me to get a direct copy of the > > message instead of just receiving it through the listserv. Procmail rules > > on List-Id don't work very well on direct replies, after all! > > This is the other point of irritation. Why is that, assuming that you're getting just the direct reply and not one direct and one via the list? A direct reply isn't list mail, so list filters really shouldn't apply to it, should they? (If you are getting two copies, aren't there procmail rules that can be used to recognize and suppress the duplicate?) In any case, my big beef with lists setting reply-to: automatically is that, as you say, getting a duplicate copy is irritating, but, if someone wants to reply to the list and inadvertently replies privately, then getting duplicates is the worst thing that will come of it and it's just irritating, no more. Inadvertently sending a response to the list which you intended to be private is much more likely to have significant negative consequences, ranging from embarrassment to lawsuits. (Oops... I didn't mean to break that NDA...) Not only is leaving reply-to alone more consistent with non-list mail, it's also safer for the list's subscribers. > The fact that weird and annoying issues like this exist in the first > place, are the reason I think mailing lists are an ugly kludge created > to solve a problem that no longer exists. > > Another reason? The bounce problem. That's really more of a problem with email itself rather than lists in particular. Different MTAs handle bounces differently, which can make it very difficult (if not impossible - some MTAs bounce mailing list messages back to the original sender instead of the list server) to reliably recognize them. And then there are incorrectly-configured MTAs to contend with... I have one user on a Mailman list I run who is apparently on a dialup connection and using something similar to fetchmail. I guess he tried to cleverly handle multiple accounts in multiple domains and was outsmarted by his MTA, because whenever he retrieves messages, I get a bounce at the list owner address (fortunately he's in digest mode so nobody else gets them) complaining that there's no user on his machine with the list's name (presumably derived from the to: header instead of the envelope information) and the bounce claims to be coming from my list server (his MTA seems to be pretending that it's the host in the to: header as well), right down to HELOing as my domain. I tracked down his ISP in an attempt to find out what the actual subscribed address was so I could remove it, but, of course, they said that the IP address the bounces came from was their NAT host and they couldn't even try to identify the user and contact him themselves unless he's doing something illegal. A long digression, I'll admit, but that's an SMTP/MTA issue that even people who know what they're doing aren't able to cleanly fix. How is a piece of software supposed to deal with it? > Mailing lists made sense back when everyone wasn't on the net full time, > or even directly connected to the net at all, (UUCP, FidoNet, Bitnet, > Compuserve...) but it really doesn't anymore. Dial-up users still exist. Even if we assume that everyone on this list is online full-time (which I think is highly unlikely), we're a highly-technical segment of the population here and can't be expected to represent the average joe in that aspect. Not to mention that, until we have ubiquitous public wireless coverage, my laptop isn't (and won't be) on the net full time, even if my other machines are. I don't think that anyone believes email or mailing lists are perfect, but I have yet to see anything better. -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) From natecars at real-time.com Sat Jan 22 13:34:55 2005 From: natecars at real-time.com (Nate Carlson) Date: Sat Jan 22 13:37:29 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] Mailing lists suck.

The big irritation for me with not having reply-to munging turned on is the duplicate message issue - see below.] The problem is that if a user hits reply-to-all, one copy goes directly to me from the user's mail server, and another copy goes to me via the list server. The direct copy does not have the List-Id tag, and ends up in my inbox. The copy from the list server does have the List-Id tag, and will be sorted into my mailing list folder. If I set up Procmail to strip the duplicate messages, I will generally only receive the copy sent directly to me, and not the copy sent to the list (the privately-sent copy will usually arrive faster.) That mean that that message ends up in my inbox, where I have to manually delete/move it to the list, instead of the list folder, where it gets nicely threaded and I can read/delete it at my leisure. > In any case, my big beef with lists setting reply-to: automatically is > that, as you say, getting a duplicate copy is irritating, but, if > someone wants to reply to the list and inadvertently replies privately, > then getting duplicates is the worst thing that will come of it and it's > just irritating, no more.

That never used to be a problem; when I was first signing up for mailing lists (many moons ago), where the reply-to munging was default, I never saw those "accidental posts". Now that more users with crappy MUA's (which don't make it obvious that you're sending back to the list instead of the user) are using mailing lists, I notice it a lot more. Even so, most users who do accidently have a post go to the list reply to it and say "Oops, sorry!" and it never happens again. My view on this has always been that if you're replying to a message posted to the list, the default behavior should be for your reply to go back to the mailing list; if you want to change that behavior, you'll have to do something different. It's always seemed perfectly obvious to me.. -- Nate Carlson | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500 From florin at iucha.net Sat Jan 22 16:32:08 2005 From: florin at iucha.net (Florin Iucha) Date: Sat Jan 22 16:32:30 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] need help diagnosing a hardware failure In-Reply-To: <2c6699da05012210475b52a8ab@mail.gmail.com> References: <20050121025723.GC29457@iucha.net> <20050122064539.GC7345@iucha.net> <2c6699da05012210475b52a8ab@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <20050122223208.GA13934@iucha.net> On Sat, Jan 22, 2005 at 12:47:56PM -0600, Brian Wall wrote: > For those who don't know, here's a simple homebrew ATX power supply tester. > You need: hard drive that spins, paper clip.

I disagree. Your assumtions seem to be for a minor subset of people at most. Not *everyone* is on full time now, and many of us travel, etc, so the list function is strongly preferred by many. Some who are "often on" strongly prefer lists and their features. Some of us prefer not to use web or usenet (etc) for list types of activity. I do agree that any REPLY function should be used intelligently and that replies should be trimmed as well. I prefer that replies go to the list whenever the info may be of use to others.

Any decent mail/NNTP client does 'offline' mode these days, whereby they will mirror a mailbox/newsgroup on local storage. There's no reason to be 'pushing' thousands of duplicate messages around the 'net anymore. Clients can 'pull' whenever it is convenient for them to do so . Its pretty well established at this point that "pushing" is not a good way to go about mass distribution on the modern internet. Pull is how the web works.

My point was that bounces can't be reliably handled in software due to problems with email itself, not due to anything specific to mailing lists. You're not suggesting that we do away with email entirely, are you? > Red herring.

(Yes, that's a joke. I'm well aware that you can use fetchmail or the like to get that sort of functionality when using mutt or other non-POP/IMAP MUAs.) > Its pretty well established at this point that > "pushing" is not a good way to go about mass distribution on the modern > internet. Pull is how the web works. And look at how successful > PointCast, Marimba and Netcaster were... Depends on what's being transmitted. How are most stock/news/ whatever tickers implemented? (They could be based on client polling rather than a server push, but, if you're concerned about excess usage of network resources, polling - especially frequent polling - is far worse than either push or pull.) Some information is better-suited to a push implementation, other information is better suited to being pulled on demand. When I read my email (including lists), I want it to come up immediately. I have yet to see a pull-based technology that can do that without polling and I tend to doubt that it's even possible. (Viewing a very large message in mutt is practically instantaneous. Viewing even a one-line post on Slashdot takes several seconds, at best.) Additionally, I find it much more convenient to have information from several sources aggregated in one place (mutt) instead of having to go out to each source separately (slashdot, perlmonks, and a dozen other web sites). Therefore, by my criteria, email (including mailing lists) works better as a push-based medium rather than pull-based. YMMV, but I think you're greatly exaggerating the rumors of push technology's death. -- The freedoms that we enjoy presently are the most important victories of the White Hats over the past several millennia, and it is vitally important that we don't give them up now, only because we are frightened. - Eolake Stobblehouse (http://stobblehouse.com/text/battle.html) From seg at haxxed.com Sun Jan 23 01:59:35 2005 From: seg at haxxed.com (Callum Lerwick) Date: Sun Jan 23 02:02:33 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] Mailing lists suck.

I'm saying rather than having all the ugly hackishness of a list server trying to push duplicate messages all over a thousand SMTP servers, bouncing all the while, cut out the middle man.

Bob made changes that make this less efficient in exchange for better bounce handling, that's a tradeoff he was willing to make. > RSS is pull. Guess what, IMAP and POP are pull. Unless you're hosting > SMTP on your laptop, you're using pull! Yeah, and guess what. RSS feeds are hammered by idiots setting their refresh rate to 1 minute, pop and imap servers are hammered by idiots setting their 'check for new mail' to once a minute, while my SMTP server handles itself just fine pushing mail around as it sees fit. Ever run a popular RSS feed or mail server? Gaming companies (such as Sierra/Valve) now use content distribution systems to update customers games, the servers notify the clients that there are updates available, then they push the updates to the clients. This resolves the millions of idiots repeatedly checking for updates problem. (Or 'millions of idiots trying to download the same file from the same web server' problem) It works a lot better because the updates are pushed to all the clients and they're scheduled to update on a certain date, you get a lead time to spread out the resource usage and a date on which everyone is running the new version (for game server compatibility) > I'm saying rather than having all the ugly hackishness of a list server > trying to push duplicate messages all over a thousand SMTP servers, > bouncing all the while, cut out the middle man.

I've made file systems on disks without creating partitions, i.e.: # /sbin/mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda It seems to have worked fine, is there something horribly broken about this? However, I believe that ext3 tops out at 4TB in its most current iteration, so you would need a different file system such as xfs.

Would the value have to be > changed and the kernel recompiled? I suspect the value in the file is used to communicate the kernel limits to the userland so changing it will not do you any good. On the other hand, changing the value in the kernel is not as easy as changing the value of a #define. IIRC one had to do some more surgery on certain kernel structures to get this to work, but you should be able to STFW for a patch. florin -- Don't question authority: they don't know either! -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Said that they recommend not to have 1 large 7TB array for reliability reasons. So we split it into several chunks, and used LVM w/ FC3 to make it one device. Then used ext3. From fstab. /dev/mapper/san_array-san_storage /var/resource ext3 defaults With spare drives and so on, the 7TB actually turned out to be 5TiB. You really start to notice the innacuraccy of the common measurement vs SI at that size. This is also my first fiber channel experience..

Our current needs are only 1TB and the SAN can hold another controller, so we should be fine.

You'd have to recompile the kernel and glibc, and possibly everything complicated in your system - and even if you do that, something (like NFS) would still break. The headers are just a 'shortcut' to glibc and/or the kernel, and if you just update the 'shortcut' and not the code that the shortcut refers to (which may be many things), something will expect something with 64 and recieve 32 (or vice versa), and blow up. > If you change it it will, for one thing, break NFS horribly. NFS probably wouldn't break until you recompiled it (with the kernel). -dave From webmaster at mn-linux.org Mon Jan 24 11:21:55 2005 From: webmaster at mn-linux.org (TCLUG Classifieds) Date: Mon Jan 24 11:25:59 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] New TCLUG Classified Ad Message-ID: <200501241721.j0OHLtW07804@crusader.real-time.com> New TCLUG Classified Ad Category: Computer Type of Ad: ------------------------ Subject: Unix Administrator Unix Administrator opening - see details at www.moneygram.com.

Yes, the wireless drivers you need are likely for either an ipw2100 or ipw2200 card and it looks like recent versions of Mepis might have it. http://www.mepislovers.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=2793&forum=6 Take a look at http://ipw2100.sourceforge.net/ or http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/ depending on which card you have for more details. -- Jim Crumley | From kb9wob at gmail.com Tue Jan 25 06:16:51 2005 From: kb9wob at gmail.com (Storm Man) Date: Tue Jan 25 08:47:18 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] Re: [TCLUG] [TCLUG-ANNOUNCE] Upgrading the tclug mailing list server In-Reply-To: <200501141113.32058@www.mn-linux.org.or.transmuter.real-time.com> References: <200501141113.32058@www.mn-linux.org.or.transmuter.real-time.com> Message-ID: Just had to comment, off topic, that I love your TNG comment!

Message-ID: <65293fcc05012607236f300edc@mail.gmail.com> Ok - I have a pretty crazy one here .... I have a system that for reasons too lengthy to get into here, needs to send mail to a very bogus email address - something like @realbogus.dl I need the SMTP server to accept such mail for the realbogus.dl domain, and then based on address (the part), send it to the real recipient. As a test I got exchange to do this by doing the following: Tell exchange to accept domain realbogus.dl Tell exchange to accept mail from the server that is sending it this mail make a new MailBox for each bogus email address @realbogus.dl .. etc make a custom recipient of type "internet email address" - for each real recipient address. Go into each new Mailbox and set the delivery options to an alternate recipient which is the appropriate custom recipient mail address. I'd like to offer an alternate solution with Linux - just a smtp server running on a small box who's only job is to do this little translation and pass the mail along. something fast to set up and easy enough for a monkey to add more "email translations".....

With sendmail...just add the domain to class w (usually /etc/mail/local-host-names), and then do the translations in virtusertable: fake@bogus.dl good@realdomain.com You can even do: %@bogus.dl %@realdomain.com And then @bogus.dl will get translated to the same @realdomain.com. virt is editted as a flat-file and then dbm'd into a hash table. If you're going to have monkeys making changes, then I would have a wrapper script that: #!/bin/sh # Backup old copy - RCS, CVS, rotate, whatever... # Open the file in an editor $EDITOR /etc/mail/virtusertable (use Pico for the monkeys?) # $EDITOR is done, so verify the new version is good # just do some grep magic here to make sure that certain # entries still exist, the format is right, etc. CYA. # Build the DBM to implement the changes, if makemap exits with # error, then someone screwed up (probably a duplicate entry) makemap hash /etc/mail/virtusertable < /etc/mail/virtusertable || echo \ "Makemap complained!" Done! The level of monkeyness will determine the level of verification that needs to be done. This might be as simple as making sure there are at least X lines in the file (they didn't wipe it out), or as complex as confirming the format, valid address syntax, etc. And if you're going to have multiple monkeys making changes, you might need to put in some simple locking stuff at the beginning to prevent simultaneous editing.

I tried Suse 9.1, Memphis and Knoppix. Unfortunately none of it has the driver for my wireless chipset. Otehr than the wireless, I had no problems booting Suse 9.1 and Memphis. ( I couldnt try Suse 9.2 as there was no CD version of it, only DVD version). I was thinking of making my own Live CD for my laptop, starting with Memphis (I like the interface) and including the driver for the wirelss chipset. I have compiled linux kernel with additional drivers etc and I am comfortable with that. I am not sure for a Live CD if something more than this is required. I hunted around for source code for this distro and was not able to find it. Any inputs/experience/pit falls to avoid, would be great.

This doesn't work: sales@bogus.com sales@real.com sales@bogus.com service@real.com It doesn't make logical sense either (if you need it to map to multiple real addresses, you can use /etc/mail/aliases as well, but that's another discussion...) > 100% windows users - command line is very scary to them ....I'll > prbably have to do some sort of samba share to the virt file or > something - just so they can edit in notepad.... sigh Remember that notepad will probably add ^M's to the end of the lines (there's windows text files and then there's unix text files...) That will probably induce breakage. Safer might be a web/CGI form. Then your cgi controls the file format (and can do input validation). Or you can look at those webby system-management tools (Linuxconf was one I remember from a long time ago) - it might be able to edit virtuser from the web.

How gracious a trade off for voluntary SPAM. I hope you're being sarcastic. The O'Reilly people are awesome to work with and very accomodating. O'Reilly doesn't tell you to force anything at anyone, just make their newsletters available. What O'Reilly gives away FAR exceeds what they ask. Need some free crap for a meeting? Just ask, O'Reilly will send you whatever you want. Want a free book? Ask for it, write a review, and submit it back to O'Reilly. They are a very forgiving company and want to support LUGs in any way they can. Every so often I get a box of free books that I didn't ask for, how cool is that? By all means, I think every LUG should be an O'Reilly affiliate. -Brian From tmarble at info9.net Wed Jan 26 13:21:01 2005 From: tmarble at info9.net (Tom Marble) Date: Wed Jan 26 13:23:19 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] Let's join as an O'Reilly user group for 20% off In-Reply-To: <20050126175804.GB7206@wookimus.net> References: <41F7CAA7.1060208@info9.net> <20050126175804.GB7206@wookimus.net> Message-ID: <41F7ED9D.7000609@info9.net> Chad Walstrom wrote: > Oh, by all gods large and small, here it is...

Although this is not obvious from the registration form, let's just assume that some group or list alias is a requirement and that they will send some promotional material. Even though it would make sense to use advanced features such as mailman topics I suspect it is unrealistic to expect them to do so. > Please do not cave in to this request, or if you do, place the crappy > advertisement newsletter on another list. IMHO, newsletters should be > sent out to INDIVIDUALS, not lists, on a subscription basis only. I agree that sending promotional information to lists is a little abusive. How about this as a compromise: We create a new list, such as: tclug-promotions@mn-linux.org which gets treated and managed in the exact same way as the existing mailing lists. Members could then subscribe to this list on an "opt-in" basis. Researchers of unsolicited mail, such as Sk3tch, may find this useful as well. Thoughts? --Tom P.S.

It's always seemed perfectly > obvious to me.. For the most part, I agree. I can expand on this a little - let's take the question out of the technical arena and into the social. What is the goal of the list? To help maintain community cohesiveness, or disseminate information? If the role is community, the all replies going to the list by default is good behavior. It's kind of like being at a party - if you want to have a private discussion there, you have to go through extra work to have it. If a list is part of - or maybe _is_ - the community, and exists to help keep the community together, replies go to it. If the role is purely informational, then replying to the original sender can be a preferred option. A friend of mine told me of the one list he knew of where reply-to-sender actually worked - it was a high-volume OS list (Sun, IIRC), where the tradition was: 1) Ask a question 2) Everyone with input replies directly to you 3) After you've gotten a bunch of answers, you summarize the answers, and explain what worked for you, in a follow-up message If I join an mailing list, it's because I want to be part of that community. Why should we make participating in the community more difficult or onerous? FWIW, I use mutt, mutt knows this is a list - so, I hit R for reply, go 'grrr', cancel the message, and THEN hit L for list-reply. I would prefer Reply-To be set to the list - R goes to the list, if I want the individual, I hit N and mutt pops up with the original sender. -- Scott Raun sraun@fireopal.org From jima at beer.tclug.org Thu Jan 27 10:19:22 2005 From: jima at beer.tclug.org (Jima) Date: Thu Jan 27 10:23:20 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] Mailing lists suck.

When replies go to the sender and are compiled by the sender, he might find that he gets 10 identical replies. That means that 9 people wasted their time and they would not have wasted their time if the first person had sent his reply to the list. Another defect in that system is that list readers don't see the replies until they are posted by the interrogator. Once they've see them, they may add some improvements/corrections/etc. Thus, the compiled response is not the last word. Some people might withhold their reply until they've seen some of the others. Yet another defect in that system is that people might not reply because they think someone else must have replied. If replies go to the list, we know what has been said and we know if we have something to add. I think reply to list is much better and we should stick with it. I'm not sure what has changed here. I use pine, I reply to all, and then snip out addresses I don't want to send to. It seems like I do this same thing on most every list. Best, Mike -- Michael B.

Not a good idea. Too hands-on. > I also mentioned setting up something like ipcop where he could run a > proxy like squid and block stuff etc.... ipcop might be nice. I would definitely suggest a box running squid with user authentication and time-based acl's. Additionally, I would run a jabber server for instant messaging. Block all IM except that originating from the jabber server. From there, you could log chat information a lot easier, though you may have to hack the server. I believe it's written with privacy in mind. Bonus, you can IM your family members wherever they are. ;-) I think you can do time-based firewalling/routing, if only through cron, but you can enforce mac address filtering using iptables.

I'm not sure what the arguments are about > this, but I'd guess it's something like "pedophiles trick children into > meeting them, then they kill or abuse the kids" versus "even children > should have their privacy." Are there more angles to this debate? Well, the number #1 rule kids should have drilled into their skill before being allowed near internet, is don't give out any identifying information, ever, without checking with parents first. They should know not to give out last names, or even their first, don't give out addresses, phone numbers, where they go to school, etc. Note, there's some COPPA thing now that has some strict rules about collecting information from those younger than 13. Pedophiles trolling are pretty obvious if you have any common sense at all... Personally I'd just keep them away from public chats of any kind until they're maybe 16-17. Let them use IM with friends they know in person, encourage them to use the web to research whatever topics may interest them. And maybe use webboards after you've checked them out first. The pervs seem to hang out on the general #teenchat type things, and they single out whoever comes along in private chat. The kids don't know better, and since its not public in the channel no one else sees whats going on. Webboards don't tend to allow this behavior. Its the being singled out in private chats with strangers thats the dangerous thing. These types of people tend to be adept at manipulating kids one-on-one. But to a parent, it should be obvious. Just keep an eye on them. Basically, check things out yourself first. > My feeling, right now, is that kids want to be able to communicate openly > with friends and do things that are not allowed by parents.

Personally, I'd want to have a non-adversarial relationship with my kids such that they DIDN'T feel they had to hide stuff from me, and thus monitoring them wouldn't be a big deal. Kids should respect you because of your knowledge, accomplishments and experience, not fear you. I really don't think kids *need* to do things their parents forbid. Its just what happens when you refuse to bridge the generation gap and have an understanding and non-adversarial relationship with your kids. > Obviously, the internet is loaded with porn and it isn't hard for kids to > find it, if that's what they want.

All the friends of mine who weren't raised to think porn is evil, are the ones least interested in it. > We all want to guide our kids - lead them into happy productive lives and > we would feel badly if they took a wrong turn and we did nothing.

In particular, the system will hang when I use tar to transfer a bunch of files from an NTFS-formatted disk to a reiserfs-formatted disk (using tar). This is a hard hang -- the mouse pointer freezes and nothing except a hardware reset will bring the system back. There was an earlier hang that was resolved. When I was installing SuSE 9.2 the system would hang while installing the software packages from the DVD-RW drive. I goggled and found there is a known problem with the ASUS A7N8X-E motherboard: the workaround is to add the boot option "acpi_skip_timer_override". Apparently this is fixed in kernel 2.6.10, but I haven't seen that available yet. I'm still running 2.6.8-24.10. I've added just one PCI card, a Promise Technology disk controller, with two disks (one on each controller). The motherboard primary IDE controller has 2 disks as well; the secondary controller has just a DVD-RW. The video card is an AGP GeForce FX 5500. Here's output of lspci. Any suggestions appreciated.

Historically, Linux has had crappy NTFS support. Since you mentioned using tar to transfer, I'm assuming this a read operation. That should be O.K., but you never know.

If a parent doesn't know what to do, they need to get some education. I'm a better parent because I've taken training in how to work with kids. As an adult scout leader I take training 2 - 5 times every year. I also teach new adult scout leaders how to work with kids. I trust my kids to do the right thing, I make sure they know what the right thing is, I set the expectation. My kids know if they do something they shouldn't, they have a consequence. Using a Computer use is a *privilege* in our home, not a right. I'm the only one in the house with any root or administrator passwords, the password are very complex they include extended characters in windows (Alt+###). If I need to do some administrative work, I'm the only one in the room. Write up an acceptable use policy for home, *_everyone_* signs it, including Mom and Dad. Include the results of violating the policy including removal of computer use or the computer. Everyone has their own account and they have a password. Get rid of that stupid single click sign on in Windows, turn it off and disable the service. The computers my kids use are XP, they are in the "*_Users_*" group _/*NOT*/_ the "_Administrators_" group. Installing software is something they _*can't*_ do. Running administrative tools is something they _*can't*_ do. Learn about Group Policy and USE it. eMail is not an issue as We (the adults) have decided only the adults need email. Instant Messaging is something NO ONE in the house is allowed to do, we don't allow it. Talking to someone should be "talking to them" not "typing". My kids can use the phone in the kitchen any time. If my son or daughter hacked to use the computer to do anything, I would remove it for a very long time. Again using a computer is a PRIVILEGE not a right, say NO and mean it. Backup what you say with action. Parents must be parents, we are not our children's friend, we must have rules and live by the rules. If you don't want your children to drive over the speed limit, *_You_* must be the example. Lastly; I make sure my kids know I love them, I tell them "I love you" every chance I get.

Just as alarming as talking to strangers on mailing list? i don't know you, i never met you... maybe i should just shutup now. because i don't know, you may be out to get me or something, or heaven forfend; get to know me. maybe it is because i am not a parent, and maybe it is because i am an idealist, but i do not buy into the fear everybody and everything mentality, i do not believe that every stranger out there is out to get me or my family. i live in minneapolis proper and i do not lock my doors, even when i am not at home or sleeping. and yes, i have woken up to see a complete stranger sleeping on my couch. and no it was not some wierdo who fell asleep while trying to steal my laptop or TV; but some college student who lost her way after a party. > "....So basically I'm looking for chat monitoring software that will only > allow conversation with buddies we know and will schedule when chat > will work and when it won't...." i do believe jabber will let you restrict to certain buddies and cron can turn jabber on and off. but i have never used so i cannot comment on it > I agree that empowering anyone with knowledge is the best defense you > can give - I have suggested as much - but at the same time some safe > guards may be appropriate.

I'd play with hdparm and turning down the I/O speed of the drive, to see if the problem goes away. The other thing to check is to see if there's an updated IDE driver that might help.

I read all of the other responses to this thread, and I agree with what most people are saying. I've gotten this question 100's of times from (former, beloved, missed) ISP customers. And neighbors. And relatives... The absolute #1 best thing to do is to be a parent first, police second. This involves education AND spending time together on-line. I feel the same way in the case of adults in a corporate setting - education, and a clear policy on appropriate computer use, solves 99% of the problem. Number 2 is to be forthcoming with any monitoring or preventative measures that are taken. In fact, I've seen this work REALLY well in a corporate environment, where adult website access was rampant (more on this below...) Anyways, parents should be honest with their offspring. It's better to let them know beforehand what measures will be taken. You'd rather have them know ahead of time, than finding out about your monitoring when you've busted them and they're already mad (and the damage has been done). Now, I don't own any kids, but if I did, this would be the way I'd run the show. A word on the pederasts...child predators on-line are not alwaays easy to spot. Especially when curiosity or hormones are involved. Reading transcripts of some of these logs (more on this...), it's obvious to you and me that the person is a pedo, but the child is sometimes blinded by "my parents overreact, the media blew this out of proportion, he's *so* handsome and funny..." These people, sadly, are very good at what they do. For instance, they bring up any subject, "So you like computers?" (obviously, since they're on The AOL!!!) the question invites, "Does your dad work with computers for a living?" Chances are, the child will name daddy's occupation, which helps the pedo determine when daddy's most likely to be home, if he's a big burly construction worker or a wimpy executive (in case daddy catches him...) Then that's an in for finding out about mom and the rest of the family. I used these tactics on Munir last night when I posed as SexyGirl16 and was trying to get him to talk dirty to me over AIM. ("How big's your disk? Oooh....and how much RAM?") These people are more than capable of getting a reasonable picture of who else is in the house at various times of the day, what kind of bait to entice the child with, etc, with just a few innocent questions. They are just playing the odds. The "more on this" was to mention that any parent who hasn't yet eaten their own offspring, should read some of the chat transcripts at www.perverted-justice.com. I read some of these a couple of years ago (this site was highlighted on the news), and was shocked. No, wait, nothing shocks me anymore, I've seen the proxy logs...but I was disgusted. My other "more on this" was about monitoring. I had a customer at ISP #1 that had an employee porn-surfing problem. When I went out there to setup the web proxy, they asked about what to do now that they had logs of everything. I told them to announce to their staff that they were turning on web logging due to abuse, and would be monitoring the logs for inappropriate activity. I guarantee you none of those employees wanted to be "caught with their pants down", as it were...and the problem went away. I've been asked more recently how to deal with this in a corporate environment. My favorite suggestion so far has been that the company should setup a proxy log reporting tool (like Sarg), and actually e-mail the users their previous day's web activity every morning. I think this is a far better solution than the alternatives, because: a) having staff sift through logs looking for "the pervs" doesn't scale in a 20,000 person company b) content and URL filtering doesn't work - it ends up being an arms race trying to keep up with the porn industry (who are constantly coming up with new ways to help users get around corporate monitoring or filtering, or you end up blocking legitimate sites, and staff spends way too much time allowing certain sites c) I don't enjoy pulling up www.milfhunter.com to see if it's an adult site. (ok, I actually do...nice mommy!) Alternatively, telling the users that a random sampling will be examined (ala random drug tests for pro athletes...), or that the report will be e-mailed to them daily, and a weekly summary to their supervisor...who can escalate to Human "We'll bring your personal effects out to you" Resources. I'm not a parent, but I can certainly appreciate the difficulties and responsibilities involved. As for me and the 'lil woman, other people's kids, in small doses, is enough for us.

I'm still trying to get a wireless card to work in my thinkpad 600e (Debian unstable, 2.4.27-2-686, latest pcmcia-cs). I had asked a couple of weeks ago for recommendations, and then discovered that none of the cards that I can buy in a store right now are supported; they keep changing their chipsets. So I have resigned to using ndiswrapper and the windows drivers. This only works for cardbus cards, though. So I got me a Linksys WPC54GS that I had seen on ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/wiki. All well and good. I downloaded the source packages for ndiswrapper from debian unstable, and with the usual amount of fudging about got them compiled and installed. Now I can use the utility to install the windows driver from the cdrom. Still good. When I insert the card I get a message: cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x14e4, device 0x4320 Okay, that seems good. The id numbers are what expected. Then (as according to the instructions for ndiswrapper) I do a # modprobe ndiswrapper And oops (from /var/sys/syslog) kernel: ndiswrapper version 1.0rc2 loaded (preempt=no,smp=no) loadndisdriver: loadndisdriver: main(462): version 1.0rc2 started kernel: PCI: No IRQ known for interrupt pin A of device .

Well, that sucks. It can't open the file because the ./proc/bus/pci/ directory has no 02/ directory in it. Then I use cardctl to eject the card (no problems using cardctl to ident and status the card, FYI) > cs: cb_free(bus 2) and lspci -n gets me this: 00:00.0 Class 0600: 8086:7190 (rev 03) 00:01.0 Class 0604: 8086:7191 (rev 03) 00:02.0 Class 0607: 104c:ac1d 00:02.1 Class 0607: 104c:ac1d 00:06.0 Class 0401: 1013:6001 (rev 01) 00:07.0 Class 0680: 8086:7110 (rev 02) 00:07.1 Class 0101: 8086:7111 (rev 01) 00:07.2 Class 0c03: 8086:7112 (rev 01) 00:07.3 Class 0680: 8086:7113 (rev 02) 01:00.0 Class 0300: 10c8:0005 (rev 12) So, it seems to me that my card is getting recognized, but for some reason the cardbus is not getting set up correctly.

As far as I'm aware, rcp/rsh/rlogin is not available on windows. Is there some reason you're trying that instead of scp or ftp or samba or ...? My approach would be to install putty on the windows machine and then run pscp from the windows side. > If I put a Linux partition on the Windows box, would it be easier to > network? Currently, I've had a lot of trouble. If you mean turn the windows machine into a dual-boot machine and then boot it into linux, then yes, rcp should work. If you mean creating a linux partition on a machine that's still running windows, then no, all you've done is add another drive to the windows machine (more or less). And, of course, I would be remiss if I failed to note that rcp/rsh/rlogin is really insecure. scp/ssh is a much, much better idea, especially if you're on the open internet. -Steve From adam at whee.org Mon Jan 31 10:01:01 2005 From: adam at whee.org (Adam Maloney) Date: Mon Jan 31 10:19:09 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] RCP Cmd Help In-Reply-To: <272C79109F4788B43AEB4FA9D3993F90@bellsoffreedom.animail.net> References: <272C79109F4788B43AEB4FA9D3993F90@bellsoffreedom.animail.net> Message-ID: On Mon, 31 Jan 2005, Nick wrote: > Questions: > Does the rcp command just not work when copying to a Windows box?

Windows doesn't come with rsh support by default - so you would have had to install some 3rd-party application in Windows, to be able to rcp/rsh. If you just want to copy files between them, the easiest thing to do would be to turn on the FTP server in Linux and FTP to it from the Windows box. Edit /etc/inetd.conf and make sure that the line that begins with "ftp" is not commented out. If it is, remove the # sign at the beginning and then restart inetd (ps auxw | grep inetd, get the process ID number, then kill -1 ) Also be aware that your distro may not allow root to FTP in by default, so you may want to login using a normal user account. If you want to get more fancy, you need to install and configure Samba.

But putty using pscp is adequate for just copying files. Can't say I'm familiar with RoboCopy. I replied off-list to him, but here's what I suggested: "Get rid of rcp and use ssh. Syntax is similar. You'll need to install putty, or another client. http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ Sample scp syntax pulling files from linux box to windows while on windows: pscp -r user@linuxbox:/dir/to/copy . Or, if you like GUI, look for WinSCP: http://sourceforge.net/projects/winscp/ " -- -Shawn -Nemo me impune lacessit. Ne Obliviscaris..

I never got a copy of it from the list, but it showed up on the archive, so I assume it went out. Anyway, I fixed the problem by changing to kernel 2.6.10. I can only assume there has been some improvements to the cardbus code, or the way my specific cardbus bridge is handled. One crisis averted. Of course, I still can't get the card to find a signal, but that's an entirely different problem -- George Fischer Minneapolis From mike at fruitioninc.com Mon Jan 31 16:27:10 2005 From: mike at fruitioninc.com (Mike Bresnahan) Date: Mon Jan 31 16:29:01 2005 Subject: [tclug-list] audio mixing programs In-Reply-To: <65293fcc050130134074c3f935@mail.gmail.com> References: <41FD51F7.8040002@ryanorourke.org> <65293fcc050130134074c3f935@mail.gmail.com> Message-ID: <1107210430.41feb0be72e5e@webmail.real-time.com> Quoting John Meier : > http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ I've used audacity some and found it to work well and be easy to learn.
