[expert] Where in in the world is the encrypted filesystem support?
I don't even know how many 8.2 beta installs I've done thus far, but I haven't yet found the encrypted filesystem support that's claimed on http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/82beta.php3 I might be assuming it's something that it's not. Is it an option when setting up filesystems? That's where I'd think it'd naturally be, but I haven't seen it there. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks! -s __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[expert] how do you update urpmi database?
I'm trying to update my 8.2beta2 install on a laptop against the current cooker, but halfway through, it failed. Now every time I try to finish the job by running 'urpmi --auto-select', it lists all of the packages that need to updated and then fails, reporting: Installation failed, some files are missing. You may want to update your urmpi database I've got 280Mb worth of RPMs in my /var/cache/urpmi that I'd rather now blow away just to have to download again, so does anyone know of any way to update the urpmi database w/o losing that data?

They own 64.37.64.0 - 64.37.127.255, so would you have to do the same for 64.37.[65-127].0 to get the entire netblock? And I know I should brush up on my networking skills, but for future reference, how did you come up with the /18 notation? > These 'spam companies' are starting to get so out of > hand now.

Oh god, I don't even want to look at how many etracks machines I've got blocked out. Hell, I wish I *could* receive the $250 or whatever it is that you're supposed to be able to get out of these bastards for each unsolicited email.

Re: [expert] prelude output
Hi Udo, I don't know about prelude, but you might want to check out PureSecure by Demarc (demarc.org). It uses snort to detect questionable network activity, logs it all into a database (MySQL), and brings it all together in a VERY nice web front end. IMHO, it's the best network intrusion detection software available. (Just my $0.02). :) -S --- udo rader <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > hi, > > I've configured one of my boxes to be my firewall > and have installed > various packages for increasing security on the > fw-box, one of them is > prelude. > > does anybody of you have an idea what this output of > prelude means (that > I sometimes find in the automated daily "system > check"-mails): > > CUT- > Feb 20 08:32:40 isis prelude: Debug: Flushing queued > report for > id=0x40019600, count=3... > Feb 20 08:32:43 isis prelude: Debug: Flushing queued > report for > id=0x40019600, count=1... > Feb 20 08:32:46 isis prelude: Debug: Flushing queued > report for > id=0x40019600, count=2... > Feb 20 08:32:48 isis prelude: Debug: Flushing queued > report for > id=0x40019600, count=1... > CUT- > > do I have to press the big red panic button or is > this just to ignore? > > thanks > > udo > > > > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com > __ Do You Yahoo!?

[expert] Can you block out entire netblocks?
I'm getting a tonne of spam from the *.em5000.net domain (amongst others) and I've been adding their IPs in by hand into my ipchains list of nodes to deny connections to port 25, but damnation, do they ever have a lot. I was wondering if there was a way either in ipchains or iptables to block out entire netblocks from connecting to a particular port number. Like em5000's got the following: # whois -h whois.arin.net 64.37.121.98 Cybercon, Inc. (NETBLK-CYBERCON-BLK-3) CYBERCON-BLK-3 64.37.64.0 - 64.37.127.255 Twistedhumor.com (NETBLK-CBCN-64-37-121-96) CBCN-64-37-121-96 64.37.121.96 - 64.37.121.127 If not, can anyone come up with a good solution that might be able to provide a similar result?
