 The card eth0 is used as gateway on the internal network with static IP

 But the modem do not send an IP during initialization.

 The IP of modem is 192.168.1.1.

 The modem sends the IP address (192.168.0.4) to my laptop by wifi
 without problems.

 Any suggestions of what I should check?

Hi,

If you are having problems with DHCP then why not set eth1 to a static IP?

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

auto eth1
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.X
gateway 192.168.1.1

I usually don't set a gateway to the LAN interface in the settings.

Re: Mail server recommendations

[Rod James Bio]

Postfix + Cyrus + SASL for simple users. You can add spamassassin + 
pyzor/rzor & config your SASL to use LDAP or other auth method. For me 
postfix + cyrus is just a better combi.

I think Postfix is the best open source MTA available on Linux hands
down. I have used Sendmail, Qmail, and Exim and none of them have
given me the flexability and security of Postfix.


I'll just throw in a counter view here.  I currently use Exim - 
starting from the base as configured by Debian and then tweaked to 
match my requirements.  In particular, I am able to use the 
flexibility that the Exim system provides (for example) understand the 
difference between mail for me personally and mail for my business 
account and put them into different Unix accounts  (I use Courier IMAP 
to provide support to read e-mail) and all this despite using the same 
name.


Another tweak I made is to automatically copy and save all outgoing 
mail that originated locally. Again a tweak I couldn't find out how to 
simply do in Postfix.


Previously when I ran mailman mailing lists on the same machine,  I 
was able to have Exim handle them automatically (ie no change to the 
Exim configuration when I added or removed a mailing list).  Again, I 
couldn't find a way with Postfix to set that up.


Now I accept that I may not be an expert at Postfix, and as such may 
have missed the way to achieve the flexibility, but just reading and 
comparing facilities in the Exim and Postfix documentation has always 
led me to believe that Exim had the ability to tweak things at much 
more detail than Postfix.


As I said above, I have stuck with Courier IMAP to provide both IMAP 
(for locally connected computers) and IMAPS for external devices (my 
iPhone).  This has also performed flawlessly for me with the standard 
configuration provided by Debian.

Re: ia64? amd64

[Rod James Bio]

Depends on your Machine CPU. amd64 for 64bit( Core 2 Duos line for intel )
CPU. IA64(Itanium 64) high end CPU's mostly for server lines. amd64 is more
common now though.

BTW debian has a kernel in its repository suffix bigmem. Try it. Your 32bit
debian will detect your memory above 4GB.

Some security sites (such as www.grc.com) make the (IMHO bogus) claim that

This is his nmap output. Hope it helps. This is all I got.

It does not seem plausible that a cracker would install a rootkit that
would listen on the standard port.  Do you have any reason to believe that
these other people know what they are talking about?


  
That's the thing that bothers me those people that suggested him this 
jumped into the conclusion with asking or doing any verification or 
maybe a previous experience from others. They just plainly told him that 
he was "hacked" and any binary(netstat, lsof, etc) that may help him had 
been replaced.


Anyway I just got another lead on his situation. I learned from my 
seniors from there past experience this may had been a bug in the Cisco 
IOS version that was between the user and the server. Anyway thanks for

I wouldn't discount that possibility, but 2 thoughts come to mind:

netstat -lnpt (as root) will give far less redundant info - just what is
listening on tcp ports, including process names - so it's easier to
search through.

Was the nmap run directly on hte same network as the machine in
question? Not through a router, cable modem, or other device that could
have been getting in the way?

Oh, and some others ..

Perhaps running tcpdump on the machine while connecting to it (with nmap
or whatever) will show whether the traffic is actually getting to the
machine?

Oh - and you could try copying on a netstat and/or lsof binary, from
another machine (of the same architecture).

Yes, hardware failure (hard disk or memory).
Go to your hard-disk manufacturer website, download the tool to test the
harddisk, then run the test.
Then use memtest to test your memory.

What's your motherboard chipset? Is your SATA controller configured in
AHCI or Compatibility mode ? (try switching to the other)

  
Thanks for the info. Well the board has AHCI enabled by default and 
there is also IDE Mode.

Anyway just for additional information:

FYI, Debian i386 has a kernel flavor named bigmem, which supports up to
64GB (PAE see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension )

But unless you have a specific need to use stick to 32bit kernel
(driver, old application [in]compatibility), it is wise to move to
64bits.
  

Thanks I did not know this. I'll RTFM on this.
  

I donot have experience in it, if I encountered this problem, I would
try to use the gNewSense livecd to partition the harddisk, and after
that, install the 64bit debian. here is the gNewSense livecd,
http://www.gnewsense.org/index.php?n=Main.Download



1. No FUD please. Debian-installer's partman works.
2. Formating with another tool is unlikely to help (because you still
   have to proceed through the installation)
3. Debian has it's own DebianLive CD

No.  termcap is long obsolete.  Even the compatibility wrapper is
now obsolete and gone.  libtermcap.so is actually just a symlink
to libncurses.so, so while it might do what you want it's not
really intended for anything except building old software that wants
to link with it.  It's not the "real" libtermcap.

Re: PIDGIN

I fix my pidgin... thanks to your suggestion. I used pidgin -d and 
discovered that proxy settings is the problem... Since we replaced our 
proxy in our network.

Have you tried searching for "pidgin seg fault" in Google?

Yes I updated the libssl to 0.9.8c-4ethc3 from 0.9.8c. Thanks for info! :)

To make a long story short: there's been a security issue of ssh on
debian [1]. One of your machines appears to use the vulnerable version,
the other one the updated one. For security reasons the updated version
won't connect to or accept connections from insecure machines.

Just update the vulnerable machine, follow the steps in [1] and you
should be fine.

Note that while debian is certainly more secure than many other OS,
there are occasional security updates. In order to have a secure system,
 you should upgrade regularly (and check for upgrades). It also helps to
subscribe to debian-security-announce.

HTH, cheers,

Johannes

Mmm. Interesting as I find authorized_keys works for me (none of my
Debian systems claims to understand your ssh2 variant).

ssh-keygen -t rsa   # Does anyone know whether dsa or rsa is better?
...
ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'mkdir -pm 700 .ssh;cat>>.ssh/authorized_keys' 
<.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Actually I have a little script that does this for me (ssh-auth) that I
really ought to get round to offering to the ssh client distribution.
It's at http://www.roaima.co.uk/stuff/20080819/ssh-auth if anyone's
interested in critiquing it first.

Thanks... but I still have the problem. I wonder if it concerns 
upgrading any packages in Debian

I am testing login without a password for my computer laboratory here in our
campus since I need it to automate the backup process. I was able to
implement login without password with other computers by
  #ssh-keygen -t rsa (I left the passphrase field blank)
  then copying the generated key to the authorized_keys of the computer
where I will login without password.

After doing these steps I had problem since the remote computer is asking
for a password. Does anybody have an idea on what is happening. I think the
problem is with the ssh-keygen command.
