[e-smith-devinfo] DummyNet and SME
Just wondering if anyone has worked with DummyNet on SME Server? Running a router from a "bootable floppy image of a system with FreeBSD" is really not very exciting.

It also implements variant of Weighted Fair Queueing called WF2Q+.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] SME 5.5 server-manager
Just a quick observation: Using OPERA 6.01 ALL manager functions work as expected on SME5.5.. I have no difficulty navigating the links. In addition, the left-hand browser pane/window (with all the main links) does NOT disappear - (it does in Explorer 6.0.26). Curious!

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] SME 5.5 server-manager
Gordon, The only 'bug' I have experiences after a full installation of SME5.5 is the ms-explorer back-button double-click 'problem'. All else appears to be working well. Before submitting any bug report I will check a few browsers to see the effect. Perhaps a comprehensive review of browser/manager effects would be useful.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Duplicate emails on server?
Just to clear the air on this issue. The duplicate email only occurs on mail FORWARDED from external accounts - such as my speakeasy.net email account. My ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) account is set to forward all email to my SME email server ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) . However, mail sent directly to my SME email server ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) is NOT duplicated. It appears to be a problem from my ISP - NOT the SME boxes. I will continue to monitor. (Please pardon the intrusion!)

How the heck can I FTP if the test server is NOT connected to the internet! What am I, a Moron! Sorry Trevor. Really scared yuh there. ;-) All is well!

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] smeserver-5.1beta1.iso
Charlie, SME 5.1beta1 is up and running on one our test servers. This was a full install. We will give a whirl over the next few days. If you have any specific tests you would like performed just let us know. So far it looks good - nice BLUE screen! Hey, I prefer the "Lady in Red"! :o). Q1. Is there SMP support in this beta?? Q2 Is "esmith nofxsr" still required ??(Answer depends on Q1). We are preparing a ASUS P3C-D, Dual PIII 700MHz (with 256 Meg RIMM), for SME 5.x trial.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Terrorist Attacks.
To Raymond, Dave, and all who expressed sadness at this senseless, cowardly act of terrorism, I say Thanks on the behalf of All New Yorkers. I am a communications engineer/manager in NYC. I live in NYC. The corporation I work for has (had) telcom facilities on several floors of the towers. We cannot account for a number of our techs who monitor the facilities 24x7. My job take me into WTC often. In fact I was due for a visit later this week. The full horror can only be realized when the scene is viewed directly. You cannot help but let the tears flow. Other buildings close to WTC may also collapse. Its just unbelievable. Thanks Again for your kind words.

Understood! Most of the DSL in NY is via Alcatel central office gear. Alcatel USB modems are becoming the 'standard'. This may be to discourage the use of multiple PC's on the dsl service. In fact, it is a violation of the Verizon NY service agreement to have more than one PC on their regular dsl service. Naturally, you can pay a higher premium for multiple PC's. I want to give it a try on a test server - just in case it is needed at a later date. -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] tomcat on e-smith
Thanks Darrell, I was not aware that the tomcat dir's were included in the auto TAPE backup. It would be great to have all files replicated during a restore. A few weeks back we had a sever failed (motherboard). I restored the server tape to a backup machine, but the tomcat - Jdk stuff was not restored. We reinstalled the tomcat files from scratch. (A bit irritating - but painless!) You know how it goes - the focus is to get the servers back up - documentation is the last thing on your mind. :-). We are preparing the install proceedure for tomcat, and will publish shortly.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] tomcat on e-smith
Yes! We have installed tomcat (and JKD) on our e-smith 4.1.X servers. Its a fairly straight forward process. The only one drawback - The jdk, tomcat files are not included in automatic backup and restore on e-smith. I reckoned one of the software guru's, in these here parts could solve that with little effort ;-). If you like I can prepare a simple document, (with a bit of help to solve the backup inclusion of jdk files) to explain the steps.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Darrell May, DMC Netsourced.com
Ken, I am still a bit puzzled by your comments. What part of the E-smith distribution is "hard coded", and cannot be read by lesser mortals?? We wish Darrel well - and are sad to see him go. He has made excellent contributions to the whole process. However, the forum is NOT the place for a PARTNER to vent his feelings about e-smith issues. His integrity is what really matters - at least we corporate managers understand that. It really all we have at the end of the day.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] e-smith support??? [was Re: Developer testers req'd]
Dan, Some of the "new guys" to E-smith server/gateway may have a bias against large software "behemoths". You know! The ones whick keep all the code locked away in vaults. Without know the facts e-smith inc may appear to be one of the 1000 programmer/millionaire operations. Actually, the quality of the gateway/server software does give that impression. :-) Maybe some are in need of a reality check. Many of us have followed e-smith from its humble beginnings, and we are darn proud of what they have accomplished. Most open-source is copyrighted by someone - but released under the terms of the GPL. Thanks for handling this issue with patience & grace! (I expected nothing less from the E-smith crew). You guys (and gals) are the best!

Tape Backup
This a clip from e-smith 4.1rc3 tape backup notification (Cron Daemon). This line appears for both servers. The tape drives are SCSI. The backup appears to be fine. I was just checking before we upgraded each machine to e-smith4.1. If someone has raised this before please point me in the right direction. My question is on the two lines below. Is this something to be concerned about? DUMP: Broken Pipe DUMP: The ENTIRE dump is aborted.

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Tape Backup
After using Taper utilities the backup looks good. Taper too several hours working on the tape - but it was worth it. This is the auto backup using the e-smith console settings. Autobackup time: 4:00 am. I guess we should prepare all tapes with Taper before usingperhaps? Thanks for the input, guys.

Re: 4.1beta2 is out!!
Seasons Greetings to the E-smith team. I just did my first test installation of E-smith 4.1beta2 (We decided to skip beta1). During the next week it will be "put through the paces" to see if it has 'the right stuff'. (Yeah! Yeah! So shoot me!) :=) I will attemp to document and feed back on any problems encountered. It looks great! I am running tests using a dual PII 300 with 128 Meg Ram, and 20 Gig SCSI drive & cd-rom, dual 3-com 10/100 nic's. Keep up the good work. Orville Carter

Access to Primary website
Hi Team, This may not be a big deal - but it happened right after the upgrade from 4.1rc1 to 4.1rc3. 1. All directories under primary/html/ were empty. 2. All directories under primary/html/ were read-only. 3. Access to primary/html was not a problem and all files were intact. Virtual domains on the server are fine. I notice this glitch while trying to update my web site from NetObjects Fusion. [Access denied error - read only access!] In fact, I cannot erase the directories primary/html/links and /primary/html/youth_action I made a backup before upgrading. Should I try a restore to see what happens? We got around it by changing the directory names (from NetObjects Fusion). Orville Carter - NYC

Tape errors, again?
Team, I noticed a rather peculiar behavior from flexbackup. The backup works fine - provided no major activity occurs at the same time. Last night the backup failed (PIPE BROKEN) while a large attachment was incoming on an email. Backup is set for 2:00AM every night. The tape is also changed each night. This is the third time this has occured in the past 2 weeks. I just tested flexbackup (again) by changing the backup time to 12:00noon - it worked! Or perhaps I am missing something Orville Carter

Re: [e-smith-devinfo] Access to Primary website
I guess my excitement is getting ahead of me. Lets take it fro the top. 1. We have NetObjects Fusion installed on Win98 & NT4 Wk-Stn machines on the our lan. NetObjects is a MS-Windows based web design package. 2. All web sites are mounted as shares on the Windows workstations for easy site updates. This includes primary/html which contains mydomain.com stuff. NetObjects Fusion creates directories under primary/html using the NetObjects name of each webpage. ie. If I create a new page for mydomain.com called 'links' (using NetObjects), a directory primary/html/links will be created during NetObjects site update. www.mydomain.com has been running one-smith4.0, 4.01 upgrade & 4.1rc1 upgrade - with no problems. I recieved an email saying the links of my home-page were not working.. The info on the linked pages had been erased during the 4.1rc1 to 4.1rc3 upgrade. My domain home page is located in primary/html Linked pages are located in primary/html/links & primary/html/youth_action Both directories were empty & read-only.

Squidguard?
Hi Team, I dont know if this is important, but I received three "unsubscribe" messages in my admin email box. The intended email box was [EMAIL PROTECTED] Somehow these messages are coming to my e-Smith email server. I am running squidguard on one of my e-Smith 4.1.1 machines, which is my home/office proxy. How can this be? Orville Carter Net Engineer NYC

Re: Squidguard?
Sorry about the panic. Someone is trying to unsubscribe using the Squidguard mailing list address. I guess everyone on that list is getting these notices. The person should be using: [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the body, NOT [EMAIL PROTECTED] Orville - Original Message - From: "Orville Carter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 30, 2001 12:32 PM Subject: Squidguard? > Hi Team, > > I dont know if this is important, but I received three "unsubscribe" > messages > in my admin email box.

G' Morning all,.(Yawwwnn!) Sorry! I am using the latest flexbackup (e-smith-backup-1.2.0-11.noarch.rpm) My question: Is flexbackup appending, or overwriting the tape from the beginning Yes!
