RE: [luau] DNS
The @ is just a stand in for the zone name of the file. For example if the
file is db.foo.com and the /etc/named.conf file has the entry
zone "foo.com" {
type master;
file "db.foo.com";
};
then wherever there is a @ in the file it will be expanded to foo.com since
that is the zone name in the config file.

The cable modem in most cases is a bridge, but the 10-net address that is the first hop in a trace route is the headend router (CMTS) that is the gateway. It's the same interface as the gateway interface your computer gets with DHCP. The peculiarities of configuring cable modems with 10-net addresses so they don't use up publicly routed addressses means it is primary on the interface and the one returned with a traceroute. > The impression I got was that it's just a misconfigured > bridge :) Since it's > the first hop after your box, and you are using the actual > upstream (here it's a > 24.x.x.x address, the first IP in our subnet), you aren't > actually sending > packets to the device at all, so it shouldn't respond with a > TTL exceeded (and > shouldn't decrement TTL) as if it were a router (because > you're not takling to > it as a rotuer, and in fact you are in the same IP subnet as > the ISP's router). No, it is the first hop router, just a different address for the same interface. It does exactly the right thing to the TTL. > I have no confirmation, but I gather this is the actual IP > address the cable > modem provider uses for configuration of the device. > Telnetting to it gives a > rather scary "don't use this" disclaimer, thoguh if you own > your cable modem > (rather than lease it like I do), this MAY not apply > (IANAL!). I haven't > checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if it speaks SNMP. Your are telnetting to the ISPs router which definitely should have that scary warning. The implications if you could succeed are severe. Since it is not in fact the cable modem you are telnetting to I hope you heed the warning. Hope this has been informative. -Doug-

[Vince Hoang:] > I am familiar with broadband providers having a snit with > Linux... I'm not sure what it means to have a snit, but if you mean not support configuration that may yet be true to a certain extent. It was certainly more true in the past. Although in the past some people associated with certain broadband providers tried to go out of there way to support those choosing Linux. I've heard that Earthlink (both dial up and broadband available) has a very progressive attitude towards supporting Linux, but I don't have first hand experience. -Doug- Speaking entirely as an individual and not in affiliation with anything.

RE: [luau] vnc for UNIX/Linux?
Title: RE: [luau] vnc for UNIX/Linux? Usually that means X Windows, but doesn't VNC work on Unix also? Let me see, from a google search on 'VNC' found: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/ that says: "It is truly platform-independent. A desktop running on a Linux machine may be displayed on a PC. Or a Solaris machine. Or any number of other architectures. The simplicity of the protocol makes it easy to port to new platforms. We have a Java viewer, which will run in any Java-capable browser. We have a Windows NT server, allowing you to view the desktop of a remote NT machine on any of these platforms using exactly the same viewer. (The NT server is not multi-user - see the documentation). And other people have ported VNC to a wide variety of other platforms." -Doug- > -Original Message- > From: Charles Lockhart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, October 10, 2002 2:16 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [luau] vnc for UNIX/Linux? > > > I've seen vnc used to view and control a Windows machine, but > I've never seen anything like that for UNIX/Linux.

Refer to http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cgi-bin/rfc/rfc1918.html that says in part: """ The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) We will refer to the first block as "24-bit block", the second as "20-bit block", and to the third as "16-bit" block. Note that (in pre-CIDR notation) the first block is nothing but a single class A network number, while the second block is a set of 16 contiguous class B network numbers, and third block is a set of 256 contiguous class C network numbers.

If so, when? Well, yes it did. Maybe 5 or 7 years ago. The use of IP addresses and the classification as 'A', 'B', or 'C' was deprecated many years ago in favor of CIDR, 'Classless Inter-Domain Routing'. There's a reasonably good introduction at: http://public.pacbell.net/dedicated/cidr.html -Doug-
