Thats why I asked if you had PNP enabled. If you do then on a reboot it is possible that the IRQ would change and maybe a conflict could develop that was not present before. Only reason I mention it is that I have a linux box that is old, been through many died and swapped out parts. One thing that has stayed constant with the box is a SB 32AWE.

I don't have any serious comparison numbers on the SMB capabilities. We're running a dual PIII 1GHz box here with SuSE 8.2 and a dual Xeon 550 with FreeBSD. Most of the work is program development and compiles. Both work well, but I don't have meaningful benchmarks. The FreeBSD box feels faster, but that may well be because I'm not running the XFRee86 server on it, just X clients from the Linux desktop. Hardware RAID is probably a push on given hardware since the hardware's going to be the limiting factor. When I did a google search on ``vinum stability'' (vinum is the FreeBSD virtual storage manager) there were some articles citing benchmarks that said that vinum was significantly faster than hardware RAID solutions. I've been running software RAID5 on an internal server here for several years, but given that it's running on Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 on a Cyrix 166, performance isn't anything to brag about. The FreeBSD networking is supposed to be the standard to which all others are compared, and is probably better for things like IPSec, and IPV6 support. >As for stability...

I can't speak to OpenBSD or NetBSD, but FreeBSD is noted for its stability, and consistency. Unlike Linux, there's one standard for file hierarchy, and the FreeBSD ``ports'' distribution is quite well thought out and easy to use. One of my gripes with Linux over the years has always been the lack of concern for backwards compatibility, and the multiplicity of ``standards'' for file system layout. We're doing all our localization using the openpkg.org package management system which allows us to use identical SRPMS on Linux, FreeBSD, and SCO OpenServer, the main platforms we support. There's a large set of packages available on openpkg.org so this has made my life a lot simpler when it comes to building new machines whether they're Linux or FreeBSD. As for stability of the running systems, I haven't had any serious stability problems with the Caldera Linux systems we used from 1996 through the end of 2002 or the SuSE 8.x systems we've been deploying since the first of 2003. The systems we install are not out-of-the-box stock, but we have always gone through them tightening security, and adding our own maintenance and support software. On the other hand, FreeBSD systems are noted for their performance and stability, and are used by many very busy ISPs for e-mail, web, and other services. The bottom line is that I would rate Linux better for desktop, games and office work. As for servers, FreeBSD may be more efficient in terms of network performance, and somewhat less prone to security attacks because there are fewer crackers who're familiar with it. The main factor is probably your familiarity with the systems. As an long-time Linux and Unix geek, I can set up a new SuSE 8.2 system faster than I can an equivalent FreeBSD server. This may change after I've installed a few more FreeBSD systems. Bill -- INTERNET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC UUCP: camco!bill PO Box 820; 6641 E.

Linux vs. xxxBSD
This is not intended to start a flame war, honest, just wanting some informed opinions... I have an upcoming web application that will be pretty intense and based around apache with a database backend. The server(s) will be headless, tuned for the job, and no desktop apps. Is xxxBSD really more stable than Linux? Is xxxBSD really a better performer than Linux? I'm asking because that is the contention of some ISPers I interact with. Don't particularly want to learn xxxBSD, but would if the gains were worthwhile - I'm a Red Hat guy at heart.

Re: ftp server behind firewall
Hey Joel- On a 2.4 kernelled firewall, you will want to do the following: * insmod ip_nat_ftp (this will load a couple others like ip_conntrack_ftp) * iptables -I FORWARD 1 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT The first one loads a special module designed to handle the intricacies of FTP. The second line allows established and related traffic. While this is a big design step, it uses connection-tracking instead of blunt "reply" rules to create a tighter and cleaner ruleset. Active FTP doesn't just use port 20 and port 21. It uses 21 as the destination port on the FTP server, then the server originates the data connection back to the client using the SOURCE port of 20 and an undefined destination port on the client (which is agreed upon by the client and server using the control channel on port 21). I believe the RELATED state also catches the "TCP High Port" connection used in Passive mode, so long as you have loaded the ip_nat_ftp module.

reforwarded from OOo list: OpenGroupware.org: SKYRiX OPEN SOURCESITS GROUPWARE SERVER
MEDIA RELEASE
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
NEW PROJECT FORMED: OpenGroupware.org,
AS SKYRiX OPEN SOURCES ITS GROUPWARE SERVER
July 10, 2003 - OpenGroupware.org ('OGo') project announces its formation
and the release today to the worldwide open source development community of
its groupware server software. The software provides the server components
necessary for full office collaboration with the OpenOffice.org suite and
various other Linux and Windows groupware clients. OGo software runs on
Linux and Solaris (www.OpenGroupware.org)
The OGo project is a fully independent open-source project, but will
inter-operate with the OpenOffice.org software and other similarly open
clients via open standards.
The OGo software is based initially on the contribution of the code of
SKYRiX 4.1 Groupware Server, a mature product that has been in development
for 7 years, and one of the earliest groupware products for the Linux
operating system. The contributor, SKYRIX Software AG, is well known in
Germany as a leader in Linux groupware (www.SKYRiX.com).
"We are extremely excited to form OpenGroupware.org and to collaborate with
OpenOffice.org to serve the open source community worldwide," said Jens
Enders, president and CEO of SKYRIX Software AG. "By configuring the
OpenGroupware.org server together [after install] with the OpenOffice.org
office suite and other leading groupware clients, our customers will be
able to implement a comprehensive and integrated collaboration environment
wholly composed of free software."
The OGo software provides document sharing capabilities for OpenOffice.org
documents and will enable users of MS Outlook (97/2000/XP), Ximian
Evolution, Mozilla Calendar, OOo Glow (OpenOffice.org Groupware Project's
client product), Apple's iCal and other standards-based groupware clients
to collaborate.
OGo software will enable users to share calendar, address book and e-mail
information; they can communicate via instant messaging, share folders,
exchange documents, track changes, share a whiteboard, and browse the Web
all at the same time -- all upon open Internet standards and without paying
or managing cumbersome licensing fees.
Says Gary Frederick, Leader of the OpenOffice.org Groupware Project: "Just
to be perfectly clear, this is an MS Exchange replacement. OGo is important
because it's the missing link in the open source software stack. It's the
end of a decade-long effort to 'map' all the key infrastructure and
standard desktop applications to free software. OGo offers users a free
solution for collaboration and document management that, despite being free
of charge, will far surpass the quality and level of collaboration found on
Windows (through integration of MS Office, Exchange Server and SharePoint).
Today marks the completion of 'OpenStack'."
Adds Stu Green, Managing Director of Open Source Professional Services,
"The release of OGo means the OpenOffice.org suite is ready for the
enterprise complete with full-featured and mature groupware solutions.
These capabilities once and for all show how free software betters
proprietary solutions that require licensing payments on both the client
and server sides. Also, OGo provides multiple file format filters for
creating, storing and sharing data in an open and flexible fashion. It's
possible now to completely avoid proprietary file formats and non-standard
XML throughout the desktop stack and infrastructure. Licensing fees and
license management are gone. And with OOo + OGo, no remote activation is
required." (www.OSPSnet.com)
OGo has extensive and broad support for XML based APIs:an XML-RPC
'Webservice' API, support for SunONE XML based WCAP, support for
HTTPMail/MS Exchange-based WebDAV, and finally for iCalendar files in XML
notation (according to the xCal drafts). Given the XML based storage format
of OpenOffice.org the OGo document storage will be able to perform feature
rich team based collaboration and content management. OGo uses a
WebDAV-accessible relational database management system to make document
storage accessible from the OpenOffice.org office suite.
OGo is licensed under the open source dual licenses, Lesser General Public
License (LGPL) and the General Public License (GPL). Libraries and
components are licensed under the terms of the LGPL and applications are
licensed under the GPL. For users, this means in part that the OGo software
can be used, improved and redistributed at no cost. For developers, the
licensing implications vary depending on the type of code contribution that
is contemplated.

Re: Freeze while CD burning on RH 8.0 (2.4.20-18.8)
Try unloading and reloading via82xxx_audio. I tried to help a friend in our user group a while back and they had that problem with a via chipset, a SB live and RH7x maybe 7.2 IIRC. When I seached google a lot of people had the same driver problem. We fixed it by installing W2000( not my idea!). You could also try using the alsa drivers. A lockup like that sounds like a possible IRQ conflict. Is PNP enabled?

I'm trying to help a friend out on his web hoster. A domain is pointed from a registar to a hosting agents DNS servers, the DNS servers are correct, I checked. The host claims to have the proper entries in their DNS server. If I set the nslookup server to the hosts main DNS server then query the domain name in question, I should get returned the IP from the hosters DNS, no matter if the registar DNS has fully propagated or not. In other words, if the hoster has DNS records correct I should never receive the following from nslookup > www.surprisewinner.com Server: ns1.skylap.com Address:207.44.216.141#53 ** server can't find www.surprisewinner.com: SERVFAIL Correct?

Freeze while CD burning on RH 8.0 (2.4.20-18.8)
Hi all, I have been keeping my RH 8.0 system up to date using the RHN services. I recently upgraded the kernel to 2.4.20-18.8, but when I try and burn a cd under that kernel, the system locks up - I mean freeze, no rsh, telnet, nada. /var/log/messages tells me nothing. Do you think that the version of cdtools is incompatible? I have done stock upgrades as I have no time for "roll your own". I've had to boot into an earlier kernel (2.4.18-27.8.0), so that I can burn CDs but now I see the following error at the console (and in /var/log/messages): Jul 10 00:59:45 gandalf kernel: via82cxxx: timeout while reading AC97 codec (0x9A) I have NO clue what this is about at all (what is via82cxxx ?). I am running vmware 4.0 regularly to tunnel into work. I did upgrade the memory recently (within the last week or so) from 3 128 sticks to 3 256 sticks (because of vmware). These are the only changes other than stock upgrades from RHN. I am assuming there may be an incompatibility with the kernel version I am running (which is older) and some software upgrades from RHN.

Re: ftp server behind firewall
if you are using a 2.2.x kernel and ipchains there is a helper module for ftp so that the server sends the client the data port and then the firewall is aware of which data port to allow the client to connect back to... I can't remember the firewall module from memory but it's got "ftp" in it... Joel Hammer wrote: I want to be able to ftp to a linux box behind a firewall linux box from the outside. I need to configure the ftp server and the firewall. I assume, since the "outside" client is also behind a firewall, I may be using passive mode for the transfer. I am using ipchains and ipmasqadm. I am running an ftp server on the firewall linux box, too. This ftp server on the firewall box is using ports 20 and 21. In the active transfer mode, it seems straightforward to have the outside client ftp to a special command port, say port 27 instead of 21. I can set up the firewall linux box to send all requests on port 27 to my ftp server behind the firewall to the usual command port. But, here is where where I need help. How do I tell the client what the data port is on the server? Does the ftp server send the data port back as a data packet, or does the ftp client assume the data port number is the port on the server making the connection to the client's data port? Could ipmasqadm simply switch outgoing port numbers? The second question is for passive mode. Here, the ftp server sends back the temporary port to use for data transfers. There is supposed to be a way to restrict which ports are sent back by the server. However, the method suggested is changing an include file and, I suppose, recompiling the ftp daemon. Is there a configuration file which would do this? Could I just edit the binary file, assuming I could find the current port ranges in the binary file? Sounds hard, since it will be numbers, not strings.

Re: Moving Domain Registration
I am not sure why there should be any problem. Can't your machine handle input from both the cable and the DSL line? You have a domain name server on the net that directs Kurtwerks traffic to your comcast.net ip. Just set up everything in your DSL account, then tell the server to direct your new traffic to the DSL account. After a couple of days, the new ip for kurtwerks will be known worldwide. BTW, I got around the @#$% email problem by leaving the email on my domain name server and just pop'ing it off.
