debian for ISP use
(Redirected by Jude Ramas [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Greetings ! My first post on this list and I hope you can help me on this. We are an ISP presently running on slackware34 w/c is pretty much breaking up. It was installed for us years ago by some tech guy and we need to rebuild it. We already have contact with someone whom we'll hire on an install basis to do our dial-in, DNS, mail, etc linux server and he is recommending Debian GNU/Linux. May I ask what ISP's are presently using Debian and how widespread is its use ? If possible can you supply me with URL's because most of the talk we see on the net is re RedHat. We are not a very technical group, but we pretty can manage when given an already running system. What about Debian training, what options are there ? Thanks for your time, Jude

i was wondering if someone can help/give me guidelines on what do i do to register a block for reverse IP queries/reverse domain, my case is, a friend asked me why they can never do reverse lookups on their IP's (they own the whole block, i.e. 208.162.24.*) and i found out that when I do _$ nslookup -type=soa 24.162.208.in-addr.arpa. i get ***localhost can't find 24.162.208.in-addr.arpa.: Server failed when i tried _$ nslookup -type=soa 162.208.in-addr.arpa. , i get this 162.208.in-addr.arpa origin = ns.cw.net mail addr = hostmaster.cw.net serial = 1999012001 refresh = 3600 (1H) retry = 600 (10M) expire = 360 (5w6d16h) minimum ttl = 3600 (1H) Authoritative answers can be found from: 162.208.in-addr.arpanameserver = ns.cw.net 162.208.in-addr.arpanameserver = ns2.cw.net 162.208.in-addr.arpanameserver = ns3.cw.net ns.cw.net internet address = 204.70.128.1 ns2.cw.net internet address = 204.70.57.242 ns3.cw.net internet address = 204.70.25.234 the documentation that comes with bind says that reverse domain registration is separate from forward domain registration, but forgot to mention how to do it, the requirements, and whether there any fees for this also? hope someone can help thanks chad
Re: A couple of simple questions... I think

Re: remote xterm problems
Stan, i'm sorry i sent the 1st email too soon w/o even thinking, anyway, if you're using bash and a few other shells, you have to do an $export TERM=vt100 if you're using csh or tcsh, do a $set TERM=vt100 merry christmas everyone ! Chad When runing a remote xterm on a non-Debian box, if I invoke vi, the fon'ts get trashed to somehting totaly unreadable. I have to use the pulldown menu to do a full reset on the xterm, and then a control L to redraw the screen.

[Off Topic] An EXCELLENT Microsoft Confidential document on why MS is in trouble from OpenSource OSes like Linux
Hi everyone ! Anyway, i glanced on this one from David Ranch's page and some of you might be intersted in reading it. Cheers, Chad This is an excellent doc that was leaked out of MS on the future issue of Open Source OSes like Linux, etc. The hosting WWW site has already noted that MS might take legal action to take down the page so if its gone by the time you get to it, lemmie know and I'll send you a copy. Its a little long but it reads well and it REALLY tells of Linux's true power. The PEOPLE! http://www.opensource.org/halloween.html --David .. | David A.
