Re: [expert] Webmin
dgssoftware and currently all ports except ssh, are bolted down. How safe would it dgssoftware be for me to allow the port 1 for webmin. Is this good or is there dgssoftware some real threats associated with this. Webmin is already installed The MOST secure way : make a ssh tunel to webmin. To webmin it will look like you are coming from 127.0.0.1 so you can block acces to port 1 to the outside world and you can set access in webmin only to 127.0.0.1. So the only way someone can acces webmin is to have a ssh account. If someone has ssh account he doesn't need webmin ;))) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[expert] Linux ISP
I'm looking for suggestions for building a linux only isp. So far my solution look like this: Postfix+Cyrus using autentification try pam from a mysql database for smtp/pop3/imap access. Replex for mail administration. Freradiusas radius server since it can be configured to use mysq database for autentification and it looks like the best opensource radius. Haven't yet decided which frontend to use for radius. Proftpd as ftp and also uses autentification from same database. Apache+perl+php as webserver. Open webmail as webmail application. And ofcourse Mandrake as my favorite linux distribution. Few questions : Does Postfix ,proftpd and the rest of needed software that comes with mandrake 8.1 have all the modules needed for me to accomplish this or do I have to build them my self? For example I wasn't abble to find pam_mysql package for mandrake but I found a package for Polish(ed) linux which should work. Is there any manual on this on the internet? I have found some howto pages but they are to old and to outdated. My goal is to use a database for all accounting so I wouldn't have to create classical user accounts. It would be very useful to hear some real world experience from people who already have it working. Any suggestions, ideas, flames :))) Sorry for my bad English and spelling mistakes I hate spell checkers ;) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
[expert] iptables
Hello expert, Can somebody tell me what does this mean : -s, --source [!] address[/mask] Source specification. Address can be either a hostname, a network name, or a plain IP address. The mask can be either a network mask or a plain number, specifying the number of 1's at the left side of the network mask ^^^ As a understand I can specify source/destination network in some other way the the clasic /24 or /255.255.255.0 What I wont to do is to write a iptables rule for a range of hosts (x.x.x.29-x.x.x.50) in one line. Can that be done. -- Best regards, Galileo mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re[2]: [expert] 5 1/4 floppy drive
bascule just my luck, the distro that scares me the most :-) I belive you can format a 1.2 mb floppy as a 1.44. You need to use some good quality media like basf. This was the only way to install dos 6.2 with a 5.25 drive. So if dos could linux also should. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
Re: [expert] Modem question
Kari GI Does it absolutely have to be PCI? External modems work far Kari GI better. Kari Since when? If you have any knowledge in electronics yust do the foloing: Open up an external modem and look whats inside and then look at the pci modem. Everything will be clear to you. Also there is another approach: The cheapest modems are pci winmodems the pci hardware modems the old style isa hardware and then external modems. Why do you think external modems are the most expensive ones ? Yust because they have their one power source and serial interface to a serial ( com) port? Excuse me for my bad English. P.C. An appeal to all the people on the list. Please try not to quote the entire message you are replaying to, yust the important parts. It's a bit difficult to download all that unusfull stuff, on a 33600 analog phone line. Anyway it's practicly unusfull when somebody quotes an entire message adt writes his/her replay on the end.
