Read it and boycott them! Or just fuck 'em. There are a couple of recommendations from Slashdot posters on how to defeat this. One is: I just added the line: route add 64.94.110.11 reject to my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file. That ought to do it. another mentions: if you have a REAL router (or a DSL router even) you should be able to null-route that IP. Or actually, you might even be able to convince your ISP to do it with a short, friendly letter to the admin. I would like to do that on my router/NAT, but I'm not sure what he means by null-route...I have an option for access control on there, but I am not sure if this is what it is for: http://www.orderinchaos.org/router.png what would be the easiest way to do this? == Null routing means sending packets with a given destination to a black hole, where they just disappear. On a Cisco router this would look like: ip route 64.94.110.11 255.255.255.255 null 0 So just as, when sending *nix output to /dev/null, it goes nowhere, routing to null also leads to nowhere.

If PPTP cannot be implemented on SNF (or can only with great difficulty) can anyone recommend another web-managed firewall product? Thanks in advance. I don't know SNF at all, so this is just a suggestion of something to try rather than an answer. PPTP uses tcp port 1723, so you need to allow that through the firewall. Also you _may_ need to allow GRE through the firewall as well. This is true for the firewall we use at work; it may be the same for SNF.

[expert] How do I stop Apache advertising its version
I tried the Netcraft webserver survey (www.netcraft.com/survey) to check if it could tell which software my web site is running, and it told me the exact version of Apache I am running together with some other details. Is there any way I can stop this information being handed out on request? TIA Chris Slater-Walker Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [expert] Mandrake and msproxy
I used to manage an M$ proxy and it always used to be the case that you needed to install a piece of software called the Winsock Proxy Client on all windows machines using the proxy server. This enabled them to use, e.g., ftp, news etc. The Proxy Client was not necessary to use http, however. Also, MS Proxy allows you to permit or deny use of it with NT Domain authentication, that is, it checks the user from whom an outbound request is received using some kind of M$ authentication scheme. I'm afraid that's all I can tell you about that. This would seem to be the problem you're experiencing. Perhaps you could use Samba to join the relevant NT domain and see if that works? Somehow I doubt that it will but it might be worth experimenting!

Re: [expert] Samba Gotcha

Hi,
How is the ultimate harddisk performance with UDMA66? Although it
works fine with UDMA66,but the harddisk performance is
just like UDMA33 as below. The question is how to improve
the speed up to 20M/sec or so. My mainboard is Abit BP6

Any suggestions will be most appreciated.
