[LUAU] EMail Gateway

2005-03-15 Thread Randall Oshita
Lets say I want to have an Email gateway to filter incoming and outgoing
SPAM and virus (Spamassassin, AmaVis, and some antivirus app) in front of my
MS Exchange box; what is needed, what must be configured and what are the
configurations?
I'm guessing the gateway has POSTFIX (or whatever)to relay the messages to
the Exchange box. Is there something I must do with DNS as well? Like MX
record for gateway AND(?) MS Exchange box? 
Looked through internet with no clear descriptions.

[LUAU] IPF rule

2004-08-08 Thread Randall Oshita
Any comments on having this rule in my IPF;
Pass out quick on xl0 all keep state
xl0 is my WAN interface.
I have rules blocking all non-routable IPs coming IN.
I figure this beats writing rules for every workstation that uses different

RE: [LUAU] VPN

Did you try the man pages?

Yes, actually. 
But I was just wondering if port translation is the same as port
redirection.
Is it safe to say that the nat daemon does port translation as well as
address.
If so then NAT = NAPT. Wonder why lots of ppl use it in different context.

RE: [luau] sudo and cron

2003-11-19 Thread Randall Oshita
First, you _can_ set the PATH in a crontab on vixie influenced
versions of cron. I regularly have MAILTO, PATH, and SHELL set.

Your crontab on budlight
PATH = /usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin 
unexpected symbol found
This entry has been ignored.

This is the cron output i got back through PINE.

Second, if the sudo binary is actually at /usr/local/sudo instead
of .../sbin, someone really screwed up installing sudo.

wait i though visudo is in /usr/local/sbin and sudo resides in /usr/local/bin
thats why i nedded to make sure thses two paths are in my user's path 
(.profile) which have been added and works flawlessly thrugh cmd line.

Third, why are you even trying to use sudo? If you need to run
the script as root, add it to root's crontab. Unless you editted
sudoers to not prompt for passwords, the entry will get stuck
waiting for cron to enter in a password.

I need to run sudo because i have an app that needs to be restarted everyday. 
there is a shutdown and start script that came with the app. this app uses a 
web server LDAP etc in which it prompts the user for a password to start these 
services. all users use sh except this user which starts and shutdowns the 
service. It needs to run under BASH, as these cmds ar BASH specific.

Thanks for the time.

I meant you left out [s]bin when fully qualifying the path:

Gross! Sudo should work here, but I prefer su. It should work the
same though.

I also used expect but just figured sudo would be much simplier. try something 
new.
 
Anywyas, i decieded to put the PATH within the script rather than the crontab. 
works good.

Randall,
** Be vry careful **:

When you work for a company, and get paid by that company, the company
does have certain rights of ownership to intellectual property. How
you define intellectual property is dependent on the circumstances. In
this case, the server was voluntarily brought in and used to grow
the business.
Rather then just file and print sharing, it might just as well have
been used to do the payroll, inventory and invoicing.  If the owner of
the system quits, unplugs the system and carts it away, it could be
interpreted as causing a hardship on the company and the employees.  If
the company loses business and jobs because of this, it could lead to
litigation.
The owner of the system is entitled to claim his property, but in doing
so, should not cause damage, so to speak. 
It could be that the correct thing to do is put the system back
temporarily, till the company buys another system. Use Disk Copy or
Ghost or whatever is handy, replicate the hard drive to the new system
hard drive, and then, yank the old system. The entire process should
take less then a day.

The preceeding was just an opinion. If my opinion makes sense, I know
that this is going to be a hard bullet to swallow but it might avoid
HPD, lawyers and getting sued(big bucks).

RE: [luau] Speaking of hard drives

2003-05-14 Thread Randall Oshita
Consumers are not technically proficient nor posses equipment that can
accurately check for problems beyond Disk Fitness testing.
When a consumer requests an RMA it is assumed that the product is
still functional until it has been properly tested and approved by the
manufacturer.
Keep in mind that when Maxtor develops new drives they take a lot of
consideration of past problems. If you ship your HD and it gets damaged
due to poor shipping materials it makes it very difficult to research
the original problem. Also, they reuse the good parts to create
recycled drives mainly for RMA.

BTW, Newegg should have these standards.

Randall

I need to RMA a hard drive to Maxtor, but they demand very specific
shipping standards.

So what I'm looking for are two hard drive inserts (top and bottom)
for packaging, that are at least two inches in diameter.

Personally, I think this is ludicrous, for an already broken hard
drive. I mean, Newegg doesn't even ship to these standards.

Dude with the RR business class, you can get a static IP plus a dial-up
account, whooohooo.
768/768 blows your CIR is only 10%, someone on the list mentioned it
might be lower.

If you really need good speeds and DSL is the right price you might want
to consider an ISP service such as Century Computers that peers with
HIX, Time Warner etc.. they have a list. If your upper is also on
Century they can peer you privately so your connection does not even hit
the internet. You will see much more bandwidth this way.
This is fact as my company used 768/768 from an ISP, which sucked, then
moved to Century where we seen much improvements. CIR still the same but
peering privately helps a ton.

 A power outage at last night zapped one of my linux boxes, now it
 say OS not found when I try to boot.
 
 Ideally I'd like to get it to boot normally again without wiping out

 I have a linux bootable business card that supposedly has

 completely clueless how to proceed after that. This is an area
 my linux administration books don't mention.
 
 There has got to be a book or a good web page out there on this topic.
 How do I find them? When I google on repair and linux I get 
 massiveamounts of irrelevant hits.
 
 I guess I have to try to mount the hard drive and check it out. What

employees were like oh I run XP and it works for me. So I showed them
the website and downloaded the manual and proved to them that they were
all full of crap; in big letters it read does not support XP. So I was
like really you got it to run in XP? Show me then. No one could do it. I
got my refund.

RE: [luau] Verizon DSL

2003-02-19 Thread Randall Oshita
Also I personally wouldn't use Verizon if I were
running any servers that needed to be accessed from
the Internet, due to the high prices they charge for a
static IP.  For 768Kbps download/128Kbps upload with a
static IP, I was quoted $59.95 a month.  For 1.5Mbps
download/128Kbps with static IP, I was quoted 89.95. 
If I were to put up a server on the Internet from
home, I'd use Roadrunner.  They only charge an
additional $5 for static IP.

Casey Roberts

Also, keep in mind that Verizon has a CIR (or something like that I
forget the letters) of only 10%. That means that they only guarantee 10%
of your desinated plan speed.  If you have a plan of 768/768 NO WAY are
you ever going to have speeds that fast, the guarantee is only .10 of
768 which is 76K!!! So as long as you get 76k speeds you cannot protest
Verizon.
If you get RR and run servers, there are always programs you can get off
the Net that will adapt to dynamic IPs. 
And I don't think they fired that one Verizon worker that sawed through
those lines awhile back, which killed a lot of DSL customers.

RE: [luau] hyperthreading facts

2003-01-14 Thread Randall Oshita
You were talking about 200% performance improvements which I said 
rightly was impossible.  Hyperthreading does not ever approach SMP in 
performance gains.

I said that certain things will go slower with Hyperthreading which
the 
benchmarks do show, but other things do indeed go faster.  I had not 
seen 2.5.x kernel benchmarks before, but yes those numbers do indeed 
indicate more significant gains.

Warren

I concur. I was not disagreeing with you LinuxDan but never seen any
benchmarks that established a 200% improvement. HT also makes certain
apps run slower from the benchmarks I've read. I apologize if you
thought I was giving opinionated statements, guess I should have stated
some facts.

Same drive but different label. Get SCSI if you want performance and

easy
to find Pentiums that don't properly use bus mastering on two PCI
slots.  For example if a PCI slot is immediately next to an ISA slot,
that is shared and it isn't bus mastering.  Some BIOS'es will show or
allow configuration of bus mastering too.

As far as security goes, general rules apply just like any other Linux
box.  Keep all your packages updated at all times, disable all
unnecessary services, NEVER USE FTP OR TELNET into the box, and
maintain
a very minimal amount of open ports through firewall rules.

[luau] Firewalls

2002-10-28 Thread Randall Oshita
I'm looking into improving security at my office.
Someone before me implemented a Linksys router. I believe the Linksys is
based soely on NAT and does no packet filtering (?). 
Anyways,
How is a Linksys router compared to a Linux firewall (like MonMotha's
famous script)?


Randall Oshita



RE: [luau] Firewalls

2002-10-28 Thread Randall Oshita
Utterly crummy :)

Linux has the following that Linksys doesn't:
*Flexible Routing
*Dynamic Routing
*Stateful Filtering/Arbitary matching (See extensible)
*Flexible NAT
**Ability to Forward Arbitrary IP Protocols (not just ICMP, TCP, and
UDP)
*Packet Mangling
*Extensible Archetecture (you can add stuff to it easily)
*QoS
**Rate Limiting
**Packet Prioritization
*Not tied to any specific harwdare (which is often slow)
*All sorts of physical media options (though not as many as a real
router)

Disadvantages of a Linux router:
*General Purpose PC hardware more likely to fail
*More difficult to set up
*Higher power consumption (and consequentially, heat output)
*Can be slower than a dedicated router if extremely old hardware is used
*May not sit as well with the suits as a packaged deal

 
 Randall Oshita
 

Feel free to ask any additional questions on any (and/or all) point(s).

I could see MAYBE why MS put a clause like that, i.e. if one person
resells it he can still keep that instance installed on his computer (or
whatever); probably other reasons as well. Could be MS wrote the EULA to

RE: [luau] routing- linksys

I agree with jeff here. The simplest way to configure a linksys router
is via the web browswer interface. 
1st set your IP to 192.168.1.2 or something on the same net as the
router is by default. 
2nd point your browser to 192.168.1.1
Login using the password supplied by linksys (admin) i think w/o
username.
3rd Change the IP of the router to be on your 10.0.0.x network.
CHANGE THE PASSWORD!!!
4th change the IP of your machine back to what it was on the 10.0.0.x
net, or use DHCP as Elaine mentioned.
If not using DHCP, set your gateway as the router's IP, 
Set DNS if not already done and check your connectivity with pings or
browsers.

Subject: [luau] Mouse Wheel in Red Hat 7.3


 Just installed Red Hat 7.3 last night.  This is the only distro that
 does not detect my mouse wheel.  Can anyone help?


Try using mouseconfig from a console and select Microsoft Intellimouse
and
USB or PS/2.

Sup guys,

Im a heavy
Windows user, and a Linux newbie.

Why are open-source
gurus so adamant towards Microsoft? my opinion after
surfing around numerous open-source communities. 

Is it because they dont
give their software away for free? 

I know Linux dudes say
it sucks but why? What makes it better?



Im not trying
to cause a fight with you guys, I like my Red Hat, just wanted to hear some
opinions.

Thanks.

Percision 530!!! WOW that's a beast alright.
My experience with Duals is that you should always have matched pairs.
Both the family and the batch should be the same; not to mention that
both CPUs NEED to be the same speeds as well. Look on the CPU for this
information. 
Its going to be a bitch to find the matching CPU on your own. Try
CompUSA as I had wonderful experiences with them. If not you should
contact Dell for it, they gonna rip you off but they should save you on
trouble and restocking fees. 

Hope this helps.

Sorry, not a linux specific question, but hey, it's for my linux box ;o)

I have a Dell Precision 530 workstation, one of those dual Xeon systems,
though I ordered only a single processor.  I recently ordered a second
processor from a company called Googlegear.com (this is where the bad
karma comes in...).  Basically I ordered a 1.5Ghz Xeon processor.  I got
it, and installed it, and get a processor mismatch warning.  So I go
reading through the (ok, admittedly, not-so-)fine print, and find out
that
what they sent me was a Xeon processor that only supports dual
processing.
I hadn't known there was such a beast.  Any ideas whether this thing
ought
to work?  I'm thinking that I need two independent operation capable
processors for my box.

The unhappy ending is that the company isn't very kind, they're charging
me a 15% restocking fee + I pay shipping.  My explanation that what I
ordered and what I got is, according to them, not valid, as I ordered an
item with a particular part number and got an item with that part
number.
Kind of a bait-n-switch, but not a lot that I can do.

Sorry if I'm just ranting, it's been a long morning already.

The problem
is I cant find my inetd
file. I looked in my /etc/services and did a gnome search to no avail. 

My SWAT
works its just that it connects on 127.0.0.1 but all my IP and localhost settings are set to 192.168.1.76. It dose not
make any sense. 

Ive
got a black sheep Linux?? lol

Randall, 











have you enabled swat in
inetd or xinetd? Most often swat is enabled by uncommenting its entry in
/etc/services and then restarting the (x)inetd daemon.











btw, there's a 1-session
Samba Class being offered at HCC this Thursday evening :-] --

Under
network config, /etc/hosts and lmhosts under /etc/samba I have it as
192.168.1.76

When
I try to connect to smb.conf via SWAT using http://192.168.1.76:901
it rejects me.

But
when I connect to SWAT using http://127.0.0.1:901
it goes through.

Why
is that?

Thanks.

Red Hat 7.3
Default access restrictions only allow localhost access; but shouldn't
the localhost be 192.168.1.76 instead of 127.0.0.1? - Since I used
192.168.1.76 in my /etc/samba localhost and as my workstation IP?
I will also try the commands when I get home.
Thanks.

What brand and version of Linux are you running?  Try the following:

service xinetd start
chkconfig xinetd on
chkconfig swat on

Then try to access SWAT via the web browser.  Default access
restrictions allow only localhost access so be aware of that.
