They all describe the process of uploading files through FTP or DAV. Hardly any of them mention SSH2/SFTP at all. If you need transparent FTP encryption, you may look at SafeTP http://safetp.cs.berkeley.edu/ Unfortunately, the development of that software is currently very slow, but its model is well-thought.

Re: Gated vs Zebra
As an interesting aside, here is why Quagga is a apt name for a fork of Zebra: http://www.museums.org.za/sam/quagga/quagga.htm Cheers, Fred.

Re: Postfix: Multiple recipients alias?
thanks for the tip! i've tried mailman and it's really easy.. so i'm going for this one, thanks! regards, -rodi.

Maybe I'm not getting this thread but why don't you use WebDAV over HTTPS? It seems to be supported in all the tools you mentioned. - Just my 2 cents. - Peter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: removabale caddies
information regarding the removable caddies? I am interested for information, specs, and esp uses and suppliers. IS --- Here's a bit recycled from something I did for a youth center Dunno if it works for you in Oz. Google is my only connection with the vendor. --- Hard drive drawers and caddies. These allow to quickly swap hard drives without tools or futzing with jumpers. The more expensive models let you swap hard drives in and out while the computer is running. The benefits that removable hard drives solve are: 1) Most of the benefit of several completely different computer setups at the cost of several hard drives. 2) Simpler disc imaging. If a computer setup is bad you can pull the hard drive, replace it with one from the shelf, stick the mis configured hard drive into an 'imaging' station and restore it and put it on the shelf. These are the ones I've used for a couple years. I've had a couple 5-6 recycled year old hard drives fail. (maybe because they were dropped on the floor) The keys tend to wear out, but since you get extra keys this isn't a big deal. http://www.provantage.com/buy-7STRP007-ata-66-100-plastic-hard-drive-drawer-w-fan-startech-computer-parts-ide66basic-shopping.htm This model is more expensive but perhaps more durable and certainly more stylish. http://www.provantage.com/buy-7STRP071-startech-computer-parts-black-removable-ide-drive-drawer-rugged-w-shock-absorbers-drw113atabk-shopping.htm This model is made of metal instead of plastic and is probably more durable still.

Lazy Apache with domains
I have a machine with NIC, but not connected to network yet. In etc/hosts there is a record 127.0.0.1 localhost mydomain.com lynx 127.0.0.1 performs normally but lynx localhost says something like looking up localhost for a 5s and than localhost for next 5s before finally (after 10s) showing page. It does the same mischief for lynx mydomain.com. It doesn't matter whether domain is set as a VirtualHost or not. What should I check, please?

Postfix+mysql delivery problem.
I've come to my end, after a few days of bashing around with postfix, I come to the conclusion that what I want to do can't really be done. Heres the senario. I have a database, which stores only 'username' in mysql, which I would like postfix to query for, if it exists then deliver to /home/$user/Maildir. Now this is fine if theres a system user as well (delivery method local:). As soon as I change it to virtual:, it requires the full email address in mysql, and I can't change it. The domain part is irrelivent, as [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] are the same anyway, I basically just want postfix to store the 'system' users in mysql. The relivant parts of my config are as follows; [-snip-] setgid_group = postdrop require_home_directory = no myhostname = dreams.isx.com.au mydestination = $myhostname, localhost.isx.com.au, isx.com.au home_mailbox = Maildir/ alias_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql-aliases.cf transport_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/transport.cf virtual_mailbox_maps = mysql:/etc/postfix/mysql_virtual_mailbox_maps.cf virtual_uid_maps = static:1000 virtual_gid_maps = static:1000 virtual_mailbox_base = /home virtual_mailbox_limit = 33554432 local_recipient_maps = $alias_maps $virtual_mailbox_maps unix:passwd.byname alias_maps = hash:/etc/aliases alias_database = hash:/etc/aliases virtual_maps = hash:/etc/postfix/virtual mynetworks = 127.0.0.1/8, hash:/var/lib/pop-before-smtp/hosts content_filter = smtp-amavis:[127.0.0.1]:10024 smtpd_recipient_restrictions = check_recipient_access hash:/etc/postfix/access_recipient, check_sender_access hash:/etc/postfix/access, permit_mynetworks, reject_unauth_destination, reject_invalid_hostname, reject_unknown_recipient_domain, reject_unauth_pipelining, reject_non_fqdn_sender, reject_unknown_sender_domain, reject_non_fqdn_recipient, reject_unknown_recipient_domain [-/snip-] and from mysql, mysql select * from transport; +---+---+ | domain| transport | +---+---+ | dreams.isx.com.au | virtual: | -- changing to local works 99% how I'd like it, but still requires a /etc/passwd user And this is my user line, (when set to local:), which works great. 5558 Query select Maildir/ from user_info where username = 'brad' Does anybody have any ideas on what I could have done wrong? I really can't modify the database at all to change to a [EMAIL PROTECTED] format, and theres more than 1 domain that users have access to, so this really doesn't suit anyway.

Re: Hot-backup a complete Debian install
Hi, I might be (and probably am) missing something, but wouldn't rsync (over ssh) work?

The machine needs to be always alive and it will be remotely administered. I'd like to hear your opinion about the following idea. 1) I have LVM + ext3, with a distribution like: linux:~# mount /dev/hda3 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro) proc on /proc type proc (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) /dev/rs/usr on /usr type ext3 (rw,nodev) /dev/rs/var on /var type ext3 (rw,nodev,usrquota) /dev/rs/tmp on /tmp type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,usrquota) /dev/rs/www on /www type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,usrquota) /dev/rs/ftp on /ftp type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,usrquota) /dev/rs/mail on /mail type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev,usrquota) /dev/hda2 on /boot type ext3 (rw) rs-hosting:~# 2) Root and boot partitions are not LVM based, but they're quite static, since data and logs are stored in other partitions. Is it safe to use dump here (keeping the partition mounted)? 3) All the dynamic partitions are LVM-based, so the idea is taking one snapshot of each partition and use dump util over the snapshot? Is it a good idea? Would it work? Please, I'd like to receive comments / another ideas on this issue. Thanks.
