Re: Reducir fichero.jpg

2000-10-28 Thread Roberto Diaz
 He escaneado una foto mia en color para colocarla en mi portal internet.
 Resulta que ha salido grande. Existe algun programa en linux que sirva
 para reducirla? Como se hace?

Por ejemplo...

Si tienes imageMagick instalado:

mogrify -format jpeg -geometry 640x480 imagen.jpg

man mogrify... para más ayuda.

/dev/audio: Dispositivo o recurso ocupado (Failed to open sound device)

2000-10-28 Thread Jon Noble
Hola, hasta hace poco el sonido me funcionaba perfectamente. Sin embargo, desde
hace unos días ya no me funciona (supongo que a consecuencia de algun upgrade
con apt).

Si intento usar algun player me dice que no puede abrir el dispositivo:

$ splay fichero.mpg
splay: Failed to open sound device.
$ 

Si intento acceder directamente al device me dice que el dispositivo está
ocupado:

$ cat fichero.au  /dev/audio
/dev/audio: Dispositivo o recurso ocupado
$ 

¿Alguien tiene alguna idea?

Un saludo,

Jon

 Buenas.
 
 Querría aprovechar el tirón del procmail para preguntar:
 
 ¿Puedo hacer, con el procmail, que cuando se reciba un correo, ejecute algo
 (un selescrí por ejemplo)?
 Me interesaría bastante, ya que quiero que cuando alguien recibe un emilio,
 se ejecute un programilla el Perl que estoy haciendo.
 
 Gracias por todo.
 
 

== Un ejemplo:

#Para aquellos que me pidan mi clave GPG, esto:
:0:
* ^Subject.*PGP
* ^Subject.*GPG
* ^Subject.*pgp
* ^Subject.*gpg
| (formail -r ; cat $HOME/.gnupg/claves/correcam.txt.asc) | sendmail -t

== Segundo ejemplo:

# Mensaje gerérico para todo correo entrante
0:
| (formail -r; cat $HOME/vacaciones.txt) | sendmail -t


Con estos dos ejemplos, creo que tienes solucionado el tema ;)

Re: apache y logs

2000-10-28 Thread Luis Cabrera Sauco

  Quien:Jaume Sabater 
  Cuando:   viernes, 27 de octubre del 2000, a las 11:44, 
  Qué:  apache y logs 


 A ver:
 
 Me interesa que los logs del apache no roten, pues necesito hacer
 estadísticas de ellos. Afecta esto en la velocidad del apache? Tarda más en
 escribir al log si este es muy grande?
 
 Merci por adelantado

Mi opinión al respecto es la siguiente: Entre las mejores
herramientas para realizar estadisticas están las hojas de
cálculo y las Bases de Datos...

Yo que tú, no tocaba los log's y lo que hacía era meter TODAS
las visitas en un base de datos. Luego, mostrar resultados a
través de la base de datos será MUY sencillo, pudiendo utilizar
multitud de herramientas para ello. 

Como el movimiento se demuestra andando, ahí van mis apuntes al 
respecto:

#--- Fichero /etc/apache/access.conf -
#
# Con esto, mandamos los log's a PostgreSQL. 
# Como comentario, decir que o tuve que quitar, porque se pasaba consumiendo 
# espacio. Es elección de cada uno dejarlo o no ;)
# Hay que crear una base de datos para los log's. 

TransferLog '| su -c sed \s/, - );$/, -1 );/\ | /usr/bin/psql  www_log 
www-data'
#-

Ahora, el sql para insertar en postgresql

#--- Accesos-web.sql -
-- SQL para controlar los accesos en PostgreSQL
-- Esta tabla es la que utiliza PostgreSQL para llevar el control de todos los
-- visitantes de la web
-- Elegir un usuario con derechos en postgres y crear una base de datos, 
-- por ejemplo 'www_log'. Una vez creada la base de datos, insertar esta
-- tabla:

-- Descomentar si estamos en pruebas
-- DROP TABLE accesos;

CREATE TABLE accesos (
hostchar(200),
ident   char(200),
authuserchar(200),
accdate datetime,
peticionchar(500),
ttime   int2,
status  int2,
bytes   int4);
archive = none;

GRANT ALL ON accesos TO www-data;

-- Luego hacer unas 30 peticiones para empezar a ver el resultado.
#-

Por supuesto, para que todo esto funcione, hace falta cargar un
módulo en el apache. En concreto, basta con descomentar la
siguiente línea en el /etc/apache/httpd.conf:

LoadModule pgsql_auth_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_auth_pgsql.so

Bueno, hasta aquí estas anotaciones. Espero que con estas
indicaciones puedan instalalrlo sin problemas :)

Suerte ...

Una de las cosas que más me 'requeman' por dentro, en cuanto a
los desarrollos globales, como es el caso de Debian, es la
obligada utilización del inglés como lenguaje de facto dentro de
la comunidad. Personalmente este es el motivo de que no me haya
metido a desarrollador/mantenedor en Debian...

Viendo el desarrollo de iniciativas 'locales', citando como
ejemplos a La Espiral o al ejemplo de los japoneses, mis preguntas
son:  
* ¿Para cuando admitirá Debian desarrolladores 'locales'?
* Los paquetes 'locales', ¿necesitan de conocimientos de otras
  lenguas ..?
* Puestos a elegir, ¿porque no fomentar el 'esperanto' dentro de
  la comunidad, facilitando asi un esfuerzo similar a todos los
  desarrolladores ..?
* Si un anglosajón tuviera que aprender castellano, ¿no
  plantearía estas cuestiones en términos parecidos a los mios ..?

Bueno, venga, la cuestión ya está planteada. Si alguien tiene

 Me imagino que alojar otros dominio es tan simple como añadir zonas en

 VirtualHost www.dominio2.com 
DocumentRoot /home/httpd/html/dominio2 
ServerName www.dominio1.com 
 /VirtualHost  
 


Alberto:

Espero poder ayudar. Yo en mi httpd.conf sirvo varios dominios
virtuales basados en nombres, no basados en IP. Es decir, mi máquina tiene
una única IP pero responde a nombres diferentes, algunos en dominios
distintos. Para acabar de liarlo, mi máquina sirve algunos dominios y
otros no.

Cerca del final del httpd.conf tengo algo como:

NameVirtualHost xx.xx.xx.xx
# xx.xx.xx.xx es la IP de mi máquina
Virtualhost xx.xx.xx.xx
DocumentRoot esto/lootro
ServerName eloy.ayrna.org
/VirtualHost

Virtualhost xx.xx.xx.xx
DocumentRoot aquello/otracosa
ServerName licor.ods.org
/VirtualHost
...

Como ves es necesario en NameVirtualHost y luego una sección para
cada dominio virtual. La IP del inicio de la sección es siempre la misma.

Otra cosa es las cuestión de las DNS. La segunda, como ves, está
servida por el servicio de DNS dinámica ODS. La primera sí la sirve mi
máquina (el el dominio del grupo de investigación al que pertenezco). Yo
lo del alias lo haría así: si el nuevo dominio que te piden es
'gente.net', y vas a servir la zona tú mismo, yo pondría algo como los
siguientes RRs (ojo: supongo que sirves DNS y WWW desde la misma máquina,
llamémosla tux, con IP 150.210.1.1 por ejemplo):

gente.net. SOA tux.gente.net. root.tux.gente.net. (
etc
etc
...)
tux IN A 150.210.1.1
gente.net.  IN NS tux
gente.net.  IN NS secundario.microsoft.com. ; ;-)
www IN CNAME tux

Ese servidor secundario tal vez no sea el correcto, pero tú me
entiendes...

En fin. No sé si te he ayudado o no. La razón de tanto párrafo
contando cosas que seguro que ya sabes es que precisamente esto es lo que
les estoy explicando estos días a mis alumnos, con lo que cualquier
ocasión hace que me dispare :-).

Mucha suerte.

2000-10-28 Thread Thiago Volpi Ramos
Tenho dois computadores em casa. Um deles está com o Debian 2.1 e o
outro com Red Hat 6.2. Comprei o CD da Debian 2.2 que veio junto com a
revista Arquivo Linux ( só o CD principal ).
Instalar no com o Debian 2.1 foi fácil. O com o Red Hat está dividido em
cinco partições, uma de cinco giga dedicada ao Windows e outras 4 com o
Linux. Se instalar direto, sem apagar nada do Red Hat, a instalação Debian
fará isso por mim?
Também gostaria de saber onde posso encontrar uma lista com todos os
pacotes da Debian, para saber quais que estão nos Cds 2 e 3 que eu posso
precisar.
Por fim, estou pensando em fazer um curso de Linux, tipo os da
Conectiva, mas quero alguma coisa mais voltada ao Debian. Alguém poderia me
dar uma dica de algum tipo de curso desse tipo em são paulo?

Obrigado.
Abraços,
Thiago Volpi Ramos.

Thiago Volpi Ramos [EMAIL PROTECTED] escreveu:

 Fiquei de madrugada em casa a instalação do Debian 2.2 ( obtive o CD da
 revista Arquivo Linux, trata-se somente do CD principal, e não dos três ) em
 cima de uma versão 6.2 do Red Hat que tinha em meu computador (Pentium III
 733).
 Já tenho em casa um computador com a Debian 2.1 (um Pentium 166). Na
 época em que instalei o Debian no Pentium 166, tentei instala-lo também no
 Pentium III, mas, na hora de formatar o disco ( que eu dividi em duas
 partições de aproximadamente 5 GB com o FIPS ) hda ele encontrava um erro na
 tábua de partições e dizia que podia continuar mas que eu perderia todos
 meus dados nesse disco. Como tenho o Windows 98 na primeira partição eu
 cancelei a instalação.
 Consegui instalar o Red Hat nele sem problemas, dividindo a partição
 destinada ao Linux em 4:
  /dev/hda2   /
 100MB,
 /dev/hda7/home
 2900MB,
 /dev/hda5/usr
 1500MB,
 /dev/hda6 (acho que é essa)swap128MB.
 Tudo isso totaliza 4628 MB. Eu deveria ter livre nessa partição 4753 MB,
 mas a instalação da Red Hat não me deixou preencher todos os 4753 megas em
 uma divisão que eu havia feito antes. Como passei diretamente para essa que
 coloquei acima não sei se ela aceitaria 4700 megas por exemplo.
 Hoje então tentei instalar a Debian sobre essa Red Hat (Debian
 definitivamente é minha escolha). O pentium III permite inicialização a
 partir do CD e então foi fácil começar a instalação. Configurei meu teclado
 e então o programa da Debian passou direto para inicializar uma partição
 swap, já que ele reconheceu as partições já existentes. Desejo mudar a
 divisão que eu havia feito antes para outra:
 /300MB,
 /usr256MB,
 /home2300MB,
 /var150MB,
 /tmp122MB,
 Isso totaliza 4628 MB, como o que eu usei na instalação da Red Hat. Para
 fazer essa mudança passei para um item prévio do programa de instalação, o
 Particionar o Disco Rígido. Ele me perguntou se eu queria particionar o
 disco hda e eu confirmei.
 Em seguida ele me disse que ocorreu um erro na minha tábua de partições,
 algo parecido com o que aconteceu quando tentei instalar o Debian 2.1 (aqui
 ele não especificava a partição 6). Aqui vai a transcrição do que apareceu
 em minha tela.
 
 
 FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions
 overlap.
 Press any key to exit cfdisk
 
 Apertei então a tecla de espaço. Outra tela surgiu:
 
 cfdisk has failed while trying to repartition your disk. That may mean
 your disk's partition table is corrupt, or your disk is 'factory clean'.
 It often helps to wipe out your disk current partition table and run
 cfdisk again.
 WARNING: You will lose any data currently on that disk. Are you sure you
 want me to do this?
 
 Escolhi a resposta não e cancelei a instalação novamente, como já fizera
 quando tentei instalar o Debian 2.1.
 Por favor me ajudem, não sei o que está acontecendo e estou ansioso para
 instalar o Debian, até porque terça feira eu estarei instalando a linha
 Speed da telefônica no Pentium III e eles falaram que se o Linux já estiver
 instalado eles o configuram para acessar a Internet pela Speed (atualmente
 estou usando a Internet com o Pentium 166).
 Também gostaria de saber aonde ficam as partições como /var e /tmp caso
 eu não as coloque na hora de particionar. Onde ficam localizados os dados
 variáveis e os temporários nesse caso?
 Sei que minhas perguntas são um básicas mas tentei resolvê-las com a
 documentação que achei ( manual de instalação da Debian, o 2.1 e o 2.2, o
 User Guide Instalation de Matt Welsh (iniciado por ele pelo menos) da página
 Linux Documentatin Project, os manuais fdisk.txt e o cfdisk.txt e vários
 sobre FIPS e particionamento que encontrei ). Agradeceria qualquer ajuda,
 seja uma resposta a meus problemas ou a indicação de um documento que eu
 possa pesquisar.
 Até por isso perguntei no outro email que mandei para a lista se existe
 algum curso voltado a distribuição Debian aqui em São Paulo.
 Obrigado e desculpe pela extensão da mensagem,
 Abraços,
 Thiago Volpi Ramos.

Reconfigure seu ambiente gráfico, ou através do XF86Setup ou
editando diretamente o arquivo /etc/X11/XF86Config.  Aparentemente o seu
problema é em relação às freqüências do monitor.

when my FAT32 file systems are mounted at

As a regular user I can read files but not
write them.

I have the user option in my /etc/fstab file

/dev/hdc6  /matrox/mx6 vfat defaults,user 0 2

so I can `umount' and then `remount' as a regular

so what's the point of having this file system

do you really need to be able to mount/umount the filesystem as you?
i am guessing not, so i would change your fstab entry to:

/dev/hdc6  /matrox/mx6 vfat rw,noexec,uid=1000,umask=022 0 2

change uid= to your uid (run id -u as yourself to find this) if you
don't want other users to be able to see files on this filesystem
change umask to 077 instead of 022.  if you want a group to be able to
access it add gid= with the appropriate group id (numerical) and set
the umask appropriatly.  (027, 007, and 002 are all common candidates.)

something like this *might* be possible with tcfs [0] or something
like that but i doubt it would work over ftp. 

shared accounts really are not a good idea, there is no accountability
or responsibility for what its used for.  and it created problems like
what you have.

the correct solution is to create an individual account for all the
users and use groups to share access.  then what you want is easy:
chmod 700 dir.

[0] tcfs is Transparent Cryptographic FileSystem, i don't think its
all that well maintained anymore but i could be wrong.

svgatextmode funnies

2000-10-28 Thread Robert Norris
I rebooted my box today to clear out a kernel module that got itself
stuck somehow and wouldn't unload. When the machine came back up the
screen went blank upon SVGATextMode running.

I logged in remotely and messed with it for a bit, to no avail. My last
ditch solution was to purge svgatextmode and the console-tools
packages, and reinstall them.

With its default configuration SVGATextMode now works, but when I
change the chipset from 'VGA' to 'Riva128' (which fits my card -
a Diamond Viper 330E), I get nothing on the screen. Trying
different modes, I found that screen shows nothing when 8-pixel
wide fonts are used, and when modes with 9-pixel wide fonts are used
I get strange 'double width' fonts (think mode 2 on the old BBCs).
When this happens every second letter on the screen is displayed
twice, but the others aren't (hmm, bad explanation ..) .. for example,
my login prompt looks like this:

DDbbaa  NN//iiuu  oodd  bbuuiinnttyy

oottssaa ooii::

rather than the normal:

Debian GNU/Linux woody obtusian tty1

obtusian login:

(All this in the freaky double-width font).

Clues? Its got me stumped.

(FWIW, I tried swapping the card for another of the same type, same
problem).

Rob.

apt-get wants toupgrade my kernel package to debian kernel package

2000-10-28 Thread Erik Steffl
  I downloaded debian kernel source package (+ source for alsa modules
and 3dfx module).

  I used make-kpkg to build the kernel (and later on alsa and 3dfx
modules). I specified jojda.1 as my kernel revision.

  the resulting *.deb (kernel + modules) were succesfully installed, so
now I have:

ih kernel-image-2.2.17   jojda.1   1:2.2.17-1
 ^^^   ^^
 current   new

  and aptitude wants to replace current by new... how to make it NOT
replace my local packages?

  for the time beingI have put these on hold, but I would like it not to
even try (I might nt catch it, sometime it updates lot of packages)

  the same goes for alsa-modules-2.2.17:

ih alsa-modules-2.2.17   0.5.9d-1+j1:0.5.9d-1

   (there is only 'j' visible out of the jojda.1 string), how is
0.5.9d-1 newer then 0.5.9d-1+jojda.1 ?

Netscape 3 - Very much outdated now. Netscape 3 really isn't worth much
consideration anymore.

Netscape 4.75 - Useable... I haven't had any major problems with Netscape
4. On the downside, sometimes it seems to render pages differently than
the Windows or MacOS versions.

Mozilla - I've used it on Windows machines without much of a problem. Skip
the Netscape 'Preview' releases and go for the mozilla.org Milestones.

I'd suggest using Mozilla as your primary browser. Keep Netscape 4.75
acound for the times Mozilla shows its rough edges.

Strange apt-get behaviour

2000-10-28 Thread Mark Phillips
I was recently trying to download the latest Evolution from helix
gnome using apt-get, and had some problems.

I have the sources.list line:

deb http://spidermonkey.helixcode.com/evolution/distributions/Debian ./

When I did apt-get update it happily did so, but doing apt-get
dist-upgrade would not update evolution_0.5.1 into evolution_0.6.  I
had a look at the Package file (in /var/state/apt/lists) and
discovered that the Package file only mentioned version 0.5.1.  But
when I visited the above directory using Netscape, I found plenty of
0.6 files there, and downloading the Package.gz file manually using
netscape and looking at it, it seems that it was a different Package
file (with version 0.6 of evolution mentioned) to the one obtained by
apt-get.  Very strange.

As far as I am aware, my ISP is not using a http proxy, but it is
possible that it is --- I've heard that it's possible to do
transparent proxying.  Perhaps then apt-get was getting a cached
version of Packages, and hence an old version.  But the funny thing
then is, why did Netscape download the right thing, but not apt-get?
They both used the same http protocol I presume!

I deleted apt-get's versions of the package file (in
/var/state/apt/lists), thus forcing apt-get to redownload it, but it
still got the old one.  So it does sound very much like a proxy thing.
Also, I connected using a different ISP and this time it worked
properly.

So I would go with the transparent proxy and cache as being the cause.
Except for the fact that Netscape downloaded it correctly.

Any thoughts,

Cheers,

Mark.

ISDN info (for UK)

2000-10-28 Thread Robin Collins
Giving up on ever seeing ADSL (too far away from the exchange, screw you
BT!) I'm installing ISDN as my best hope this side of the next millenium.  I
know a lot about modems and nothing about ISDN so I'd appreciate some advice
on what ISDN card to insall for use in England.

These are issues (using that word the way God intended, not the way
Microsoft perverted!) which I can see I need to resolve:

1) compatiblity between modems is always a problem - I have two modems which
work fine with one ISP each and abysmally if I swap them over.  I doubt this
is an issue with ISDN cards or is it?

2) Linux hardware support - clearly the Howto is going to be the bible but
is there a recommended brand of ISDN card for Linux?

3) Linux software - does pppd still apply (I use wvdial) or does one have to
use something else?

4) channel bonding - anything I should know?

5) anything other consideration I haven't listed?

I'd be grateful for any thoughts before I get myself hopelessly confused ;)

Cheers,
Robin Collins

 shared accounts really are not a good idea, there is no accountability

Agreed.

 the correct solution is to create an individual account for all the

 chmod 700 dir.

Disagree.

Where n  0 people need modification access to the same data, a version
control system should be implemented.  RCS and CVS are available on
Debian and their use is fairly transparent.  For more complex
organizations, BitKeeper is a strongly recommended choice.

A version control system allows multiple people to work on shared
material in their own sandbox.  Changes are checked back into a
central repository.  Publication (release) of data is managed from the
central repository.

That said, virtually all mechanisms and systems for shared work
environments suck in some way.  Most require a step for updating or
committing changes.  That said, used, well and wisely, they resolve a
great many issues.  Version control is suitable for activities far
beyond software development, which many people fail to realize.

cdburner on hd

2000-10-28 Thread guran
This is a letter I sent to cooker - Mandrake.


This night I did a rsync of mandrake-iso/7.1beta/i586. In the morning I
used a floppy with a hd.img to install it from my harddrive.

In the / of hdb6 i have three directories /cooker, /iso and /mandrake
with images of the trees respectively. When asked what partition to use
for the base I gave: hdb6 and /iso/odyssey-rc-inst.iso - then I tab'ed
to iso-image - and the whole installation was launched.

A swing of magic from the stick of Mandrake - fantastic.

I could upgrade to whatever I wanted from /tmp/hdimage/ where the whole
of my hdb6 was reachable.

Thank you very much for this facility - I wounder if it is possible to
get this program as a 'standalone' utility, so any cdrom image could be
played this way

This could be the easiest way to reform debian, any newcomer could be
given the opportunity to install through apt-get and part of the three
iso images. The difficulties and enormous choices with dselect could be
left for the more advanced users.

Personally I would like as a newbie that programs like Netscape with
spellchecking included could be downloaded through one choice.

Re: password protect a directory?

On Fri, 27 Oct 2000 22:12:27 -0700, Mr. Strockbine wrote:

is there a way to password protect a directory? [ ... ]

The UNIX security model hasn't traditionally worked like this. The other 
replies have
some good ideas on how to implement the same things along traditional UNIX 
lines.

This raises the important point of access control lists (ACL's). On some 
network operating
systems, like NT or NetWare, access to directories and files can be limited to
a predefined set of users.  UNIX/Linux accomplishes the same thing, but in a 
different
way. For some of us, using ACL's is actually more convenient, though.

ACL's already exist on some commercial UNIXes. The TrustedBSD project is trying 
to 
add ACL's to FreeBSD. More to the point, Linux ACL's are under development. 
They 
have a chance of inclusion in the 2.5 kernel. See this related announcement: 

http://lwn.net/2000/1026/a/acl-0.7.0.php3

On the other hand, you might be asking about assigning a unique password to one 
directory.
This sometimes is implemented in the DOS/Windows world as a TSR or a special 
program
that intercepts any call to open the directory, and only allowing access upon 
entering of the
password. To say the least, that is a very weak security model. 

I'd advise you to use the UNIX security permissions, as other posters have 
suggested, the
experimental Linux ACL's, encryption, or removable media.

good luck,

It is possible to keep using ipchains by compiling the appropriate kernel
module.  I was using it until I got iptables working.

 
 i'd like to learn how to drop packets coming from a particular host -- is
 there a netfilter howto yet?  i didn't see anything on LDP.

There is one on Debiandiary (or a link to one) and there are some ready-made

Re: dpkg won't install (Internal Error)

2000-10-28 Thread Paul D. Smith
I found something about this problem by searching old debian-devel
archives; I fixed it by force-installing debconf with dpkg, then
force-installing libc6 with dpkg, then using apt-get -f install to let
it fix the rest.  Seems to have worked.

 The KDE FAQ says kdesupport is *recommended*, unless you have all

Boot Problem

After installing Debian without any apparent problems and rebooting the
computer without the boot disk, it says:
MBR

L 07 07 07 07 07 07 07 07 07 ... and so forth.
It works fine with the boot disk. I have an hda unused approx. 5GB hard

approx. 5GB ext2 partition and swap with Debian on it. What can I do to

security questions

2000-10-28 Thread Peter Jay Salzman
i just installed a host security checker, tiger (TARA?) which is more or
less along the lines of what i remember from dan farmer's COPS (a lng
time ago!)

it had a number of complaints about accounts which were disabled but had
valid shells.  like this one:

www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:/bin/sh

why, exactly, is this a security risk?  is tiger expecting something along
the lines of:

www-data:x:33:33:www-data:/var/www:

what is the hangup here?


also, i noticed that some accounts which are disabled are given a shell of
/bin/false:

ftp:x:100:65534::/home/ftp:/bin/false

tiger seemed to hate this too.  i tried playing around with /bin/false.
can't seem to figure out what it is.  whatever it is, it's tiny.  only 4 kb
long.

thanks!

Re: ipchains and netfilter on 2.4.0-test9

Hi,
 cool - i'd like to do this until i get a chance to sit down and learn
 netfilter.  i assume i can simply cd into /usr/src/linux-2.2.17/wherever and
 do a modprobe -a ipchains.o?
 
 what is the appropriate module?
If you want to stay with iptables you have to compile a module for your new
kernel, but iptables + nat isn't that different, see below...
   i'd like to learn how to drop packets coming from a particular host -- is
   there a netfilter howto yet?  i didn't see anything on LDP.
  
  There is one on Debiandiary (or a link to one) and there are some ready-made
  iptables scripts.
HOWTO:

http://netfilter.kernelnotes.org/unreliable-guides/packet-filtering-HOWTO-1.htm

I changed to a 2.4-kernel 3 weeks ago. It wasn't too hard to change my
ipchains-script to iptables  (3-4 hours to rewrite it and get the idea of
what is possible now; concerning my more geriatric than vetust brain ...)

Re: ISDN info (for UK)

2000-10-28 Thread Shaul Karl
 Giving up on ever seeing ADSL (too far away from the exchange, screw you
 BT!) I'm installing ISDN as my best hope this side of the next millenium.  I
 know a lot about modems and nothing about ISDN so I'd appreciate some advice
 on what ISDN card to insall for use in England.
 
 These are issues (using that word the way God intended, not the way
 Microsoft perverted!) which I can see I need to resolve:
 
 1) compatiblity between modems is always a problem - I have two modems which
 work fine with one ISP each and abysmally if I swap them over.  I doubt this
 is an issue with ISDN cards or is it?
 


I believe it is not an issue since the ISDN is, as far as I know, a more tight 
spec. But why not check this with your ISP?


 2) Linux hardware support - clearly the Howto is going to be the bible but
 is there a recommended brand of ISDN card for Linux?
 


I do not know about any recommended one. You might check the isdnutils for the 
supported cards. I believe the passive cards that are supported by the Hisax 
module are the cheaper and thus more popular.


 3) Linux software - does pppd still apply (I use wvdial) or does one have to
 use something else?
 


Probably not because it is quite evil to use ppp over ISDN. Yet there is 
something similar, at least for the user: ipppd. As for wvdial, the isdnutils 
provides similar functions.


 4) channel bonding - anything I should know?
 
 5) anything other consideration I haven't listed?
 
 I'd be grateful for any thoughts before I get myself hopelessly confused ;)
 
 Cheers,
 Robin Collins

Recovering net connection. (kinda long)

2000-10-28 Thread Steve Juranich
Every once in a while, @home has a service outage (a little more frequently
in my case since I live out in the sticks).  Of course, when the net
connection is down, I can't ping my router, or gateway, or anything other
than my local box.

The problem is that it seems that after @home has their end back up and
running, the only way that I can get my net connection back is to reboot my
machine.  There _has_ to be another way to do this.

Recently, @home dropped my connection.  After I was assurred that everything
was up and running on their end, I tried pinging the gateway and got
nothing.  I did a tcpdump -i eth0 and found that my box was making a bunch
of arp request for the owner of the gateway address.  But I also saw that
the arp requests were saying to send a response to
chester.fedwy1.wa.home.com.  The problem is, @home doesn't know who chester
is, they think I'm cxx-a (I forget the number right now, but it's not
important).  So, thinking that I'm clever, I changed my /etc/hostname to
what @home said it should be.  I still couldn't ping my router, and I
goofed up X and syslog as well (I'm really clever that way).

Since syslog was really being a booger and not starting up like it should
(obviously becase of the hostname issue), I decided to reboot into single
user mode and fix the problem.  Well, I goofed that up too, and went into
normal startup, but my box had already fixed the hostname issue and
everything started up fine, including networking.

So, I know that one way to fix this problem is to reboot my box, but I don't
want to have to do that every time @home drops my connection.

Any suggestions?

Sorry for the long post.  Thanks for the help.
