Re: copyrights liability question
You will need the advise of a lawyer on this question. Following are my thought: (1) An ISP should not act until there is a complaint. And I mean an official one, not just an e-mail. (2) Copyright terrorists have been known to target small and vulnerable ISPs to make examples out of us. Your pick! Bao -- Bao C.

RE: arpwatch and more
Those quad ethernet cards support one MAC address per PHY, or they can operate as a Cisco EtherChannel or probably other similar technologies used to bond ethernet links, depending upon how you configure it and your switch. I sent the below message to someone else on the list in private, thinking that they might benefit from some further explaination, but also thinking that most people subscribed to this list would have a solid understanding of how modern ethernets work, and thus would not benefit from the post.

Re: can't exec /usr/sbin/named-xfer no such file or directory SOLVED
Excuse me for taking your time. I simply forgot to copy libs to chrooted dir, I didn't notice that because alpha box didn't complain about that, and i have never seen bind logs before so I assumed "all is OK if there are no errors". And that was my mistake. One thing I don't understand - why alpha didn't complain about it? But it's another story Once again sorry.

Re: can't exec /usr/sbin/named-xfer no such file or directory
I'm sorry for the mess i did with different emails i've sent this message, but i was travelling from comp to comp. I have sent mails as Agnieszka ochocka and Jakub. Sorry again. JA Another question: is it something bad - can i live with that? After compiling bind n'th time on i486 box im acting rather nervously when i hear compile. So maybe i will just cut those nasty messages :-) JA

What do I need to be aware of when doing this? Anything? Do I need to copy anything other than the bzImage and system map? If I compile for module support, what do I need to move to the target machine? Take a look at the kernel-package package. After you have done your make menuconfig (or equivalent) you can use make-kpkg [options] kernel-image to make a .deb of your kernel - and we can all do dpkg -i ... ;-) One of the thorniest issues is naming of package versions - read the kernel-package docs regarding this.

Re: copyrights liability question
as an ISP where does the line go for how liable we are for client's copyrights violations? Here is my situation, and if you feel this is off topic, you may reply to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we'll keep any further out of this area. But, since this is a ISP area if I have this question someone else probably does too. I have a client who stores (archives) newsgroup articles. I don't even provide the news data to him.

So, am I liable for any violations that may happen on that system? I don't administer it, only sell shelf and bandwidth to them. IANAL, but from our perspective as a web hosting company, we have a very detailed Acceptable Use Policy that basically states that any and all content hosted on the server by the user is the responsibility of the user. Everything from mp3s to porn are listed as content not under our control or liability. We have each user sign the agreement and fax/mail it back to us before beginning service. Until legislature makes it more clear on who exactly is liable in these situations, we prefer to cover our assets in this manner. YMMV. Eric
sis900 network cards
are sis900 ethernet cards supported? odd bios setting: settings for mac address are in the bios for the sis900 card. Haven't seen this setting before.
