Skal systemet ved boot ikke selv finde DNS server IP adresserne via adsl routeren / gatewayen på 192.168.1.1 ? I div. (også Debian) beskrivelser står der, at man retter direkte i resolv.conf, men det synes jeg ikke stemmer med beskrivelser i div. man sider. Antageligvis har du statisk konfigurerede interfaces på den omtalte maskine -- dhclient kan typisk selv opdatere resolv.conf. (Hvis dit problem er, at den routers dhcp-server ikke giver dig dns-oplysninger, må du søge routerens manual om oplysninger om den slags). Den pæne måde at have statisk konfigurerede interfaces på, er at tilføje dem til interfaces(5)-filen under /etc/network. Ingen steder står det nævnt [0], men, som en del af den statiske konfiguration skal specificeres indstillinger for dns, og dette gøres med klausulen ``dns-nameservers''.

Fail2ban og en_DK

Spørgsmålet er, om der er en køn løsning. Jeg har genereret en_US, og
jeg kan udføre dette hack i scriptet, førende til, at fail2ban opretter

/etc/init.d/fail2ban stop
killall fail2ban

Monstro nogen har en kønnere løsning? Måske et kønnere hack? :)

Then they copy all the data from /home/develop to /var/www/final. Now they want to connect directly to /var/www/final to avoid the copy. Can I share /var/www/final with samba or it can be a security problem? Well. It could be a security ``risk'', in the sense that it would be possible for your developers to put up files, that trigger an exploit of your httpd (and the parsers it may feature), and thereby gain control of your system. However, that would be directly malicious from your users, and you'd be having a lot of other concerns if you were to counter such hostility. If I understand you correctly, you migrate from having your users commit into their homedirs and then commiting that into the final-dir, to having them commit directly into the final-dir. That might be dangerous, as your developers may more easily override already-correct files. As I see it, you could go ahead with your plan as is, bearing in mind that it is sub-optimal. You could attempt a remedy on your current scheme, and have a cronjob copy the data of /home/develop to /var/www/final every night or the like. If you go with this approach, you really shold keep a backup of the final-dir, at least a week back. But, as another poster pointed out, your developers would be better off learning to use CVS, or rather, subversion. Those are fully-fledged systems for collaborating on source code and the likes.

I just use it to encrypt all traffic between two hosts that use NFS and XDMCP on my LAN. Who says NFS can't be secure in transit? I also only use PSKs and haven't bothered with certs. When you install it, debconf will ask if you want to use racoon-tool. I've only used racoon with the racoon-tool configuration file, which I understand simplifies things. After installing, there are really only three steps: 1. Add your host/PSK entry to /etc/racoon/psk.txt 2. Add a connection to /etc/racoon/racoon-tool.conf 3. Restart /etc/init.d/racoon It's not perfect. The most annoying issue in my little setup is that NFS doesn't mount immediately on boot. It seems it takes some time (seconds) for the connection to become available and the first few packets go nowhere. I think this is pointed out in the IPSec HOWTO. -Jeff Thank you for your answer. I will look into racoon-tool. Since I control all hosts in the setup I have in mind, it should be no problem to use preshared keys. In fact, I dd'ed from /dev/random to create the set, when I played with it. The one thing that bugs me, is, that the tunnel will bear a VLAN, but reside on the Internet (or any other insecure network); therefore the the laptop somehow has to identify itself as a part of the VLAN first, and a part of the insecure network second. That is a problem in my mind, as there will only be one physical interface involved: My laptop will not be a remote endpoint for a network -- just for itself. How do one accomplish to have the laptop's eth0 on a (potentially NAT'ed) Internet IP-address, while having it consider a gateway on the VLAN to be its primary route (or default gateway, as I believe it's called)?

I was aware of the bug, the ie server doesn't seem to have those image's , ill search around, i dont really want to download cd images as ive got a dvd burner, might as well make use of it :) As jigdo uses the packages-servers, the bandwidth should be more than enough. Since you seem concerned about speeding up the download-process, I suggest you use a smaller image, and then download the packages on-demand, afterwards. It'd save Debian a lot of traffic. That is, you can probably easily cope with CD1 and an Internet connection after the initial install. I personally have never used the second DVD of any two-DVD set I've downloaded anyway.

Dette program er under LGPL'en. På 7-zips downloadside er der henvisning til en experimental-pakke i Debian: http://packages.debian.org/experimental/utils/p7zip Jeg har iøvrigt haft held med at kompilere p7zip på Debian Sarge.

Re: Problemer med cdrecord
Hej igen, Din antagelse virker sandsynlig. En af mine kammerater har også siddet med det, og vi rettede det ved at installere en custom 2.6.9'er. I den forbindelse var det nødvendigt, at installere module-init-tools. Sandsynligvis ønsker du at at installere dem før du installerer kernen. Den beklagelige erfaring jeg har gjort mig med kerne-udskiftning, er at at ting kan gå rigtig galt, hvis man gør noget dumt. Derfor må jeg anbefale en lille backup af de vigtigste private ting, samt at du har en installationscd tilgængelig. Bare for at undgå ubehagelige overraskelser. Ud over det, så virker make-kpkg-metoden ved at lave en debian-pakke, som man skal installere med dpkg. Det er præcis det samme du vil komme til med apt-get (hvor nogen andre imidlertid har gjort compile-arbejdet) og det burde gå rigtig gnidningsfrit. Jeg har imidlertid aldrig installeret en pre-compilet kerne før, selv. Med module-init-tools, en lille backup, en installationscd og din nævnte fremgangsmåde, tror jeg godt at jeg tør sige god for det. Imidlertid påtager jeg mig ikke ansvaret.

Thank you for your reply.
I worked around it by `dpkg -r kontact' and recursed it manually up to
`kdepim', I believe.
I have absolutely no clue to why it is necessary to return to `dpkg' for
this cleanup. However, thanks for your help.

Quick question: Choice of release
I and a friend are playing with the idea of convincing our gymnasium to using Debian GNU/Linux as their main server OS. As it comes to this issue, which release we would want; stable, testing or unstable? Making the choice, it would matter that the focus is on reliability. We would want it to be absolutely reliable and secure. No security flaws would be accepted. On the other hand, we wouldn't want it to be outdated, so any performance-fixes are not included. What is the best compromise? Regards, skrewz a.k.a. Anders Breindahl. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
