Hello,

   In fact my test was incomplete :-((
   During shutdown the scripts were called too early (K20) which generated
errors and even a locked system.
   I have modified them so that "RDCLINKS=S,S20 0,K90 6,K90" and now it's
OK.

[leaf-user] ANN: Bering-uClibc 2.1 released

2004-02-29 Thread K.-P. Kirchdörfer
The Bering-uClibc team releases Bering-uClibc 2.1.

This is the final release moving LEAF Bering-uClibc to kernel version 2.4.24.

Compared to latest release candidate ppp and shorewall has been upgraded to 
new upstream releases. 
As usual it also provides some minor changes and fixes.
Notable is the consolidation and simplification of setting the editor -
in short only e3 and the modes it provides (ws, nedit, vi, emacs)  are 
available in this and upcoming versions. Setting the standard editor has been 
moved to /etc/profiles. 

For a complete changelog please read:
http://leaf.sourceforge.net/mod.php?mod=userpage&menu=91003&page_id=39

You'll find the image, ipv6 drop-in replacement, additional modules and a 
bootable ISO image with all available packages here:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13751&package_id=67534&release_id=216901

thanks for reading
in behalf of the Bering-uClibc team

Re: [leaf-user] ISP and DNS issues

2004-02-29 Thread Sak
John,

This may be a shot in the dark, but try turning off the firewall in
Win XP when you're connecting through your LEAF router and see what
happens.

Thanks,
Sak.

Bottomline, your ISP's, cablespeed.com, DNS is b0rken ;>

Furthermore, based on my cursory analysis, that DNS is being managed by
people ignorant of DNS standards.

I will use djbdns tools -- I am sure, with knowledgeable usage, other
tools will demonstrate similar results.

This is what the toplevel domain servers see regarding the domain
cablespeed.com.  This is what you can count on seeing from any arbitrary
point on the Internet:

   # dnsqr any cablespeed.com
   255 cablespeed.com:
   68 bytes, 1+2+0+0 records, response, noerror
   query: 255 cablespeed.com
   answer: cablespeed.com 172416 NS ns1.cablespeed.com
   answer: cablespeed.com 172416 NS ns2.cablespeed.com

Here is what `the Internet' thinks are your SMTP mail servers:

   # dnsqr mx cablespeed.com
   15 cablespeed.com:
   83 bytes, 1+2+0+0 records, response, noerror
   query: 15 cablespeed.com
   answer: cablespeed.com 2251 MX 10 mail2.evdloh.cablespeed.com
   answer: cablespeed.com 2251 MX 10 mail1.evdloh.cablespeed.com

   # dnsqr any mail1.evdloh.cablespeed.com
   255 mail1.evdloh.cablespeed.com:
   61 bytes, 1+1+0+0 records, response, noerror
   query: 255 mail1.evdloh.cablespeed.com
   answer: mail1.evdloh.cablespeed.com 71 A 216.15.205.76

   # dnsqr any mail2.evdloh.cablespeed.com
   255 mail2.evdloh.cablespeed.com:
   61 bytes, 1+1+0+0 records, response, noerror
   query: 255 mail2.evdloh.cablespeed.com
   answer: mail2.evdloh.cablespeed.com 121 A 216.15.205.76

   # dnsqr a mail.bllvwa.cablespeed.com
   1 mail.bllvwa.cablespeed.com:
   timed out

Notice that last one: the toplevel domain servers *CANNOT* find a path
to an A record for the mail server you know works !?!?

   # dnsqr a mail.cablespeed.com
   1 mail.cablespeed.com:
   53 bytes, 1+1+0+0 records, response, noerror
   query: 1 mail.cablespeed.com
   answer: mail.cablespeed.com 252 A 216.15.205.76

Nor can `the Internet' establish any CNAME's for for these three (3)
mail servers, that all happen to have A records pointing to the exact
same IP address ;<

   # dnsqr cname mail.cablespeed.com
   5 mail.cablespeed.com:
   timed out

So, let us query cablespeed.com's nameservers directly:

   # dnsqr ns cablespeed.com
   2 cablespeed.com:
   68 bytes, 1+2+0+0 records, response, noerror
   query: 2 cablespeed.com
   answer: cablespeed.com 172607 NS ns1.cablespeed.com
   answer: cablespeed.com 172607 NS ns2.cablespeed.com

   # dnsip ns1.cablespeed.com
   24.35.0.40 

   # dnsip ns2.cablespeed.com
   24.35.0.35 

There they are, according to `the Internet'; now, let us query that
first one:

   # dnsq mx cablespeed.com ns1.cablespeed.com
   15 cablespeed.com:
   timed out

You see?  One of your ISP's nameservers is b0rken ;<

So, let's query the second nameserver:

   # dnsq mx cablespeed.com ns2.cablespeed.com
   15 cablespeed.com:
   148 bytes, 1+2+0+2 records, response, authoritative, no
