pbnj - nmap and amap related tool
Hey Guys, I have been working on a tool that is related to both nmap and amap. It takes the input from nmap and parses it to amap then stores the data in a csv file. Then if you like you can go and do another scan and the diff will be added to the csv file. If there is no diff then nothing is outputted. It's called pbnj. http://pbnj.sf.net Let me know if you have any comments, suggestions or ideas. Thanks, Josh Abraham ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss

Re: Domain Registrar Woes
The frustrating thing for me was getting beyond the people whose main job seems to be keeping you in the dark. Wednesday, I got this message: Lloyd, I left a message with John earlier this morning. AIT disagrees with PIR's assessment of the situation. The Registry claims to have received a notice from us asking that several hundred domains be deleted. That's not how AIT systems work; deletions are a manual process that cannot be executed en masse. I realize this does nothing to alleviate your issue, but I want you to have an understanding of what's going on. We have asked the Registry to restore the affected domains, but it refuses to admit wrongdoing and insists on restoration fees before doing so. Our fallback position is to register secondary domains that point to the main website so affected customers get relief. Once they finally admitted that there was a money issue, I was able to get through to them that we *needed* to get the domain online and we could pay a fee to accomplish that. So we were left in limbo while they argued over who was responsible for footing the repair bill.

[Fwd: Can I bother you with another Linux question?]
Hey all, Anybody got an answer? Take it easy, -- David Berube Berube Consulting [EMAIL PROTECTED] (603)-485-9622 http://www.berubeconsulting.com/ ---BeginMessage--- David, Hi. It's Fletcher. Can I bother you for another Linux question? I hope it's really simple. We have a system at a customer site in Alabama that has several Windows machines and one Linux machine, Red Hat 9. We have been using pcAnywhere to get remote access from the officehere to one of the Windows boxes and from there to the others. So from here we get complete access to all the Windows machines there. Recently we upgraded to pcAnywhere 11.5 which allows us to get into the Linux box. We tried it here with a mockup, got it to work, and now our technician is on site there and trying to do the same setup but it's failing. When we do pcAnywhere's Quick Deploy and Connect it apparently loads a "thin host" on the Linux to connect to. In the log I find the following error: /root/pcADeploy/thinhost: error while loading shared libraries: libXm.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory So I poked around on the Linux box here that is working, and found the file libXm.so.3 in usr/X11R6/lib. I changed the file name temporarily and tried to connect and got exactly the same error in the log here. So I loaded the file over the wire to the system down there, in the same directory. Still we get the same error. Then I found that libXm.so.3 is a link to libXm.so.3.0.1 so I sent that down to Alabama. Still the error. On a Google search I found a forum where someone asked the guy with the problem - is usr/X11R6/lib in your etc/ld.so.conf file? From what I can gather that is a file that is like a PATH thing - telling you where you can find .so files? It is in the conf file here, and I see it in the conf file down there. So the question is - how is it that libXm.so.3 can't be found? The file is there and the path is in the conf file. Is there more that is needed that I don't know about? Any help appreciated for sure. Best wishes, Fletcher ---End Message---

Is there more that is needed that I don't know about? 1) VNC would have been a better choice, but... 2) ld.conf doesn't get propagated automatically; you need to run the ldconfig command. Good luck! -Ken P.S. a really nifty thing that can help in situations like this is the ldd command; for example, babylon5:/mnt/babylon5/austin_cadence# ldd /bin/bash libncurses.so.5 = /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0xb7eae000) libdl.so.2 = /lib/tls/libdl.so.2 (0xb7eaa000) libc.so.6 = /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0xb7d76000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7ef8000) This tells you all the library dependencies that bash has.

I am going to bring a laptop that I haven't been able to tame. It supports APCI but won't go into standby properly. In Standby, the screen goes blank, but the backlight stays on. When the cover is closed the backlight goes off. (Probably a hidden mechanical switch.) I can get it into disk suspend (which I don't desire), in which case the backlight goes off. However, it locks the screen (which I don't want - or at least want to have a choice) and knocks out the sound. I assume this will be easy for someone who knows what they are doing - which isn't me.

From what I have read, hot swap IDE is not supported b/c the kernel only flushes IDE buffers on shutdown.
