Re: odd process running /usr/sbin/sendmail -i -CronDaemon -odi -oem root

2003-06-19 Thread Douglas Blood
That is the process that sends out mail for a cronjob. I have had problems
with those getting stuck if the mail message (output from the cron job)  is
more than 1 meg I think... it might have been more than 11 megs. I can't
remember exactly but that is a normal process.  I don't think it should stay
in your process list for that long though... what does your pstree show?
What is the parent process? you should be able to find out which cron it is
being sent from as well.

Re: SSL proxy server

2003-05-05 Thread Douglas Blood
Why don't you just ssh with port forwarding and only have the webserver
listen locally? This will encrypt all the traffic and you wouldn't have to
worry as much about secureity holes in the web server.

Re: Blocking sub-range of IP addresses

2003-03-11 Thread Douglas Blood
http://www.ralphb.net/IPSubnet/class_a.html
That is a page I use whenever I need to do anything with subnets.
It explains that the /27 subnet has 30 hosts.

So if you only wanted to block hosts X.Y.Z.23 - X.Y.Z.55 I would do
everything under 64.. otherwise you get into defining multiple subnets so
you would block X.Y.Z.64/27
