Re: [Hampshire] PSPP Libraries

[Daniel Llewellyn]

I believe you need the Cairo "-dev" package. I.e. libcairo-Dev and the same for 
the pango package, and any others configure complains about. Also a useful meta 
package is build-essential, which will pull the c and c++ compilers and core 
-Dev packages such as glibc-Dev (if that specific one exists, memory fails me)

[Hampshire] Server log viewer

[Leo]

I currently run a box with Smoothwall on it, but I'm thinking of 
switching to a debian box and setting it up myself (just as a project). 
The one thing I still have not worked out how to do yet is get easy web 
access to/visualisation of the logs. Can anyone recommend some software 
to do this?


Thanks,
Leo

If you're on a debian based system:-

apt-get build-dep pspp

This will ensure you have all the necessary bits required to build the
version in the repo. In most circumstances this is sufficient to
enable you to build a later upstream version. Clearly upstream may
change their dependencies, but usually they don't.

[Hampshire] Portable linux firewall

[Chris Dennis]

Hello folks

On another well-known operating system beginning with 'W', there are 
security programs such as AVG and Kaspersky that include a firewall. 
When running on a laptop, these programs detect when you've connected to 
a new network and ask you whether or not it's a trusted network so that 
they can set firewall rules appropriately.


I've been unable to find equivalent software on Linux.  I'm looking for 
something that the average home user can cope with, for example someone 
running Ubuntu on a laptop.  Ubuntu has ufw (and its gufw front-end) 
which allow setting up rules for a trusted local network such as 
192.168.1.0/24.  But what if they then connect to a friends's network, 
or a network in a cafe/hotel etc., which may by chance have the same 
address range?


Has anyone come across something that deals with such situations?

cheers

Chris

Neither firestarter nor shorewall fulfil the requirements of the original

I use Logwatch which fulfills my needs.

I set it up as a cronjob and read it when I get up at last.

Works a charm.
