Re: Problem with RAID1 on kernel 2.4

2002-02-28 Thread I. Forbes

Hello Russell 

Yes it was nr-spare-disks 1

I just cut and copied setup from another machine and edited to 
illustrate my message.  I missed the spare disks.  :-(

At least raidtools2 shouts very quickly when you do that (I know!).

Thanks

Re: Traffic monitoring/logging question

2002-02-28 Thread Jean-Francois Dive

mm nice scheme. Did you wrote an RFC or ?? (uppercase must, can ;)

The key is to the be able to account the traffic which is a miss in
squid and this, on a per client basis. Squid have a mib which
give you such stats, this is good. I developed an addon to this
mib to get a per subnet stats, if you 're interested, i can send you
the patch. So, you can use iptables accounting: using the right
setup should be easy. The only tricky part is for ftp, irc etc..
traffic: you need to use the new --helper feature of iptables which
match any traffic that use the ipconntrack helper moduler XXX.
Aggregating all these information will give you the numbers you want.
For stocking and reporting, you can use mrtg or cricket or a script
and RRDtool or logtrend which is pretty nice but still very poor 
snmp wise.

Hope that help,

Re: BGP4/OSPF routing daemon for Linux?

2002-02-28 Thread Tommy van Leeuwen

Hi,

We've had gated running as a customer router a few years ago on a bsdi
system with 20+ network interfaces and it ran pretty stable. Probably it
would run pretty stable on linux too. However i think gated is not really
'free' so i would choose zebra if i ever needed bgp or ospf on linux
again. I remember licence costs of gated were as much as a huge cisco few
years back (but i could be wrong, ofcourse).

Regards,
Tommy

Hi,

I'm currently looking to impliment a new mail system.

I was wondering what your recommendations would be for 50 (and growing)
virtual hosts.  We want something that doesn't require a seperate system
user for each virt-user account, and something that's relatively easy to
configure.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,

Re: BGP4/OSPF routing daemon for Linux?

That's a yes, but because of security/bugs you'll have to update your ios
more often than a current woody installation. ios needs a reboot, linux
don't.

I bet if you count montly uptimes in % a woody will currently get higher
availability % than an average ios ;)

(but i personally prefer ios above linux too.. who's gonna port an ios
interface to linux? ios uses gpl fragments, shouldn't it be released in
source anyway?)

Be aware that on-the-wire counting will give you traffic counts
inclusive of packet overhead, whereas counting in squid will give you
only the size of the content in question.  Don't do math on these
things, as one rather large provider used to do ;)

Be aware of media-specific packet wrapping sizes, and be aware of the
difference between the size of the content, and the size of the
content + IP headers.

mmm well, BGP security bugs in IOS are not that common. If you have a quite
secure setup around it and not use fancy setup, the uptime should stay pretty good
i reckon. Even if i agree that rebooting a BGP router is always a pain..

I dont specifically prefer IOS over linux, it really depends on what i wanna 
do with the box. 

Honestly, you dont want to see the IOS code, really: it is fat, huge (more than 700
Mo last time i looked) and is not all the time very nice to read.

For the ios interface, i reckon it does already exist. some guys at the Cisco
TAC in brussel are working on it.

 put it on all machines!


True...in our situation we don't need ACL.

So you just applied the kernel patches (they work on 2.4.17, right?), and

Re: Traffic monitoring/logging question

2002-02-28 Thread Jean-Francois Dive
mm nice scheme. Did you wrote an RFC or ?? (uppercase must, can ;)

The key is to the be able to account the traffic which is a miss in
squid and this, on a per client basis. Squid have a mib which
give you such stats, this is good. I developed an addon to this
mib to get a per subnet stats, if you 're interested, i can send you
the patch. So, you can use iptables accounting: using the right
setup should be easy. The only tricky part is for ftp, irc etc..
traffic: you need to use the new --helper feature of iptables which
match any traffic that use the ipconntrack helper moduler XXX.
Aggregating all these information will give you the numbers you want.
For stocking and reporting, you can use mrtg or cricket or a script
and RRDtool or logtrend which is pretty nice but still very poor 
snmp wise.

Hope that help,

JeF

 I need to get per host statistics, to compare them to the total amount of

 Note:

 The clients on both LAN's use the firewall as proxy server (...)
 This traffic MUST also be included in the statistics.

Re: BGP4/OSPF routing daemon for Linux?

2002-02-28 Thread Tommy van Leeuwen
Hi,

We've had gated running as a customer router a few years ago on a bsdi
system with 20+ network interfaces and it ran pretty stable. Probably it
would run pretty stable on linux too. However i think gated is not really
'free' so i would choose zebra if i ever needed bgp or ospf on linux
again. I remember licence costs of gated were as much as a huge cisco few
years back (but i could be wrong, ofcourse).

Regards,
Tommy

Best mail setup?

2002-02-28 Thread D. Clarke

Hi,

I'm currently looking to impliment a new mail system.

I was wondering what your recommendations would be for 50 (and growing)
virtual hosts.  We want something that doesn't require a seperate system
user for each virt-user account, and something that's relatively easy to
configure.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks,
Darryl




Re: BGP4/OSPF routing daemon for Linux?

2002-02-28 Thread Tommy van Leeuwen

That's a yes, but because of security/bugs you'll have to update your ios
more often than a current woody installation. ios needs a reboot, linux
don't.

I bet if you count montly uptimes in % a woody will currently get higher
availability % than an average ios ;)

(but i personally prefer ios above linux too.. who's gonna port an ios
interface to linux? ios uses gpl fragments, shouldn't it be released in
source anyway?)

Be aware that on-the-wire counting will give you traffic counts
inclusive of packet overhead, whereas counting in squid will give you
only the size of the content in question.  Don't do math on these
things, as one rather large provider used to do ;)

Be aware of media-specific packet wrapping sizes, and be aware of the
difference between the size of the content, and the size of the
content + IP headers.

mmm well, BGP security bugs in IOS are not that common. If you have a quite
secure setup around it and not use fancy setup, the uptime should stay pretty 
good
i reckon. Even if i agree that rebooting a BGP router is always a pain..

I dont specifically prefer IOS over linux, it really depends on what i wanna 
do with the box. 

Honestly, you dont want to see the IOS code, really: it is fat, huge (more than 
700
Mo last time i looked) and is not all the time very nice to read.

For the ios interface, i reckon it does already exist. some guys at the Cisco
TAC in brussel are working on it.
