I don't think that you can block a specific MUA.  If you know the

block then that way

It may be because Mandrake is doing a reverse lookup on them. Try 
putting then  in your /etc/hosts or run Linuxconf, under Network -> Name

Roxen as far as I'm away is not a symlink to Apache. Roxen is a httpd. 
Once the systems boots at the root prompt type:

Also a ntsysv as root, will allow you to select Apache to start on boot.
You can find the modssl for Apache at rpmfind.net.  As for PAM and Squid

[expert] Asus P2B-D SMP and Promise UDMA66

2001-01-12 Thread Cecil Watson

I have a SMP P3 system on a P2B-D motherboard.  I have ATA-66 drives and
I've purchased a Promise controller card to utilize the drives.  The
problem is that the system locks up when I try and install 7.2.  The
lockup occurs after the drives are found, the I/O and IRQ are displayed
then nothing

>From doing a search online it appears that UDMA 66 and SMP (2.2.x)has
been buggy, is this still the case?  Obviously, I'd like to get UDMA 66
working, has anyone tried UDMA 66 and SMP with 2.4?  Would an
appropriate solution be to install 7.2(using the IDE controller on the
motherboard).  Install 2.4, then edit the appropriate files(lilo.conf,
fstab (did I miss anything else?)), to have Linux boot from /dev/hde.
Any thoughts?  Thanks in advance,

Re: [expert] Many Port Requests

Yes, this port is used by SMB.

netbios-ns  137/tcpNETBIOS Name Service

netbios-dgm 138/tcpNETBIOS Datagram Service
netbios-dgm 138/udpNETBIOS Datagram Service
netbios-ssn 139/tcpNETBIOS Session Service
netbios-ssn 139/udpNETBIOS Session Service

I guess it is possible someone maybe knock at your door, but I cannot say
with certainty.  You can use ipchains to deny access to this port or if
your system is multihomed and you are running Samba, I'd suggest bind it
to one IP address (your internal).

Yes it is possible.  The easiest way is to use rinetd.  You can find it by 
doing a search on Google (I cannot seem to first its homepage...)
There is even a webmin module to configure it you can find it here:

Use printtool (just type printtool at the console)to configure this remote
print.  Been a while since I've done it, and I'm not where I did so you have to
play a little since I don't remember the exact steps.  I assume that the printer
has as IP address.  You'll need to supply that information and the printer type
(or what it is emulating).  Good luck,

Re: [expert] start to finnish documentation how to setup a linux mandrake box to be secure and still provide a web server,ftp server, mail server

2000-10-29 Thread Cecil Watson

Here is an excellent place to start.
http://www.openna.com/
They publish a book on security and optimization, it is geared at Redhat, but 
is suitable for Linux-Mandrake or any other disto.  You can download the book 
here:
http://www.openna.com/books/registration.htm
I downloaded it sometime ago and it covers a great deal, Squid, BIND, Samba 
and more!  For course securing your box is just the being, subscribe to 
Mandrake's security notices, update software as soon as security updates are 
available.  You must remain proactive to ensure a secure system.

Or using linuxconf or webmin.

Re: [expert] Sending linux box off to camp

I'd suggest possibly scanning the box with nmap or better yet nessus.  You can
find nessus at nessus.org, nmap is available at insecure.com.  Like the other
fellow suggests make sure you are running webmin w/ ssl.  Other than that you
appear to have taken the right steps.  Make sure you sign up for Mandrake's
security announcements and apply any fixes for software running on your system
ASAP.  Have fun at camp!

Re: [expert] can I burn an ISO image on a mac

If you have the appropriate software on the Mac, this should not be a
problem.  Just download the iso that you want.  I've never burned on a Mac so
I cannot recommend any software.  Good luck!

I updated to glibc-2.1.3-16 last week.  Everything appeared to have been
working well.  This morning I get a message about sendmail

Sep 13 07:29:01 3dollarbill sendmail[5822]: NOQUEUE: SYSERR: putoutmsg

Permission denied

The system is a webserver and all appears to be working well with Apache.
No new hardware has been added to the system.  I've been keeping up with
Mandrake's security announcements.  Now I'm getting some rather strange
behavior, ps seg faults,   and take a look at this...

[root@3dollarbill cesdude]# grep

A few weeks ago I upgrade PERL to 5.005.  Upon installing Webmin I got the
following error:

perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:
LANGUAGE = "en",
LC_ALL = "en",
LANG = "en"
are supported and installed on your system.
perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

Webmin did install and run ok.  But I'd like to correct this.  I checked the
man page and didn't find anything on changing this, it may very well be in
there.  But I think I ventured into the twilight zone some yesterday, can
know the way out?  Thanks in advance,

Here are a list of site to get started on...

You can also do a search for backup on

[expert] Printer recommendations

2000-08-24 Thread Cecil Watson

Hi Everyone,

I'm shopping for a good color printer.  Anyone got any recommendations?
Models to avoid (cough winprinters)?  You'd think with the booming
popularity of Linux, companies like HP and IBM ( who just happen to be
promoting Linux) would start to market to the community...Thanks in advance,

Cecil
(cough Mandrake approaches some of these companies...bundle the OS w/ the
printer :-)





Re: [expert] Prove my point .

2000-08-21 Thread Cecil Watson

How about this compare the connection speed of the machines behind the
computer sharing the connection.  I did this several months back.  Same
machine, dual boot 98 and Mandrake 6.1.  With Linux sharing the connection
the machine behind it were able to surf almost 2.5 times faster than with 98
sharing the connection!

CRU you can get it at http://www.estinc.com/cru2/CRU2.html.  If you drive
support one button disaster recovery, CRU is create a tape to bring you
system back up.  You can also create a boot and a root disk and restore off

Are you trying to install or upgrade?  Sounds like an earlier version of

You'd redirected port 80 from comp A to comp C.
The same goes for SMTP/POP from A to B.

Re: [expert] apache log trouble

Mandrake's Apache is optimized for speed!  Speed baby speed!  Thanks
Jean-Michel!  It doesn't write to the log until it reached 64K (if I
remember correctly).  I have a cron job that runs Webalizer at a give time
each day, but before I do this I do a graceful restart of Apache.
