(Matter of fact, the weather guys say that they are likely tonight, tomorrow and possibly Tuesday.) In the 37 years that I've lived here, the only lightning damage that we've ever suffered came in on the telephone drop. It took out my shiny brand new 2400 baud external modem, an answering machine and two telephones; the guy across the street ended up with a shattered pine tree (60 ft?) in his yard. Evidently the stroke hit the tree, jumped to the telco drop to his house (it passed through the tree's limbs), and decided that all that copper was another neat way to get to ground. I called BellSouth to ask them to check out the protection block; their response was pretty much, "Stuff happens. Deal with it." SOP around here is that whenever there's lightning in the area, the PCs are shutdown, the power cords and modem lines are disconnected from the wall, and we only use cordless phones. Since then, I've talked to many others who have also had lightning damage via the phone lines. A few have had also had hits on the power lines. Curiously, no one has ever mentioned a lightning problem with cable TV. -- cmg Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

There's a similar concept in wiring for telephony. The attached diagram should show most of the concept. The same concept applies to cable. What's missing from the dia diagram is the filter that a lot (most) telcos use to isolate their ADSL from the dial tone which should show right on the protector and dedicated to the computer line. In reality it's a notch filter which removes the ADSL signal from lines you would normally use for telephones. As Greg noted it performs the same function as splitting the cable line at their main splitter to your house, which sometimes also is fused, and keeping all your TV runs on one side of that splittter. Hope it helps. ttfn John <> Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

That should never have happened. I do this for a living and I've run wire around the outside of buildings in climates where thunder and lightening are a dime a dozen and I've yet to have this happen to anything that I've installed.

Re: [newbie] updates mdk 10
Okay, I just checked the following for updates: Official Branch: urpmi.addmedia main ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/mandrake/Mandrakelinux/official/current/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz There was nothing to update on my computer, so I removed Main (which I think I'm supposed to do if I'm going to add Community). I then added and checked Community. Community Branch: urpmi.addmedia community ftp://ftp.proxad.net/pub/Distributions_Linux/mandrake/Mandrakelinux/devel/community/i586/Mandrake/RPMS with ../base/hdlist.cz There was nothing to update here, either. Both said, "Everything already installed." After adding these sources, in both cases I did: urpmi.update -a The only updates I've done since loading the 10.0 CD ISO's are the few files that were security patches. Shouldn't I have at least gotten updates when I checked the Community branch or does this seem right to people? Rory Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Midnight Commander Colours
Colors The Midnight Commander will try to detect if your terminal supports color using the terminal database and your terminal name. Sometimes it gets confused, so you may force color mode or disable color mode using the -c and -b flag respectively. If the program is compiled with the Slang screen manager instead of ncurses, it will also check the variable COLORTERM, if it is set, it has the same effect as the -c flag. You may specify terminals that always force color mode by adding the color_terminals variable to the Colors section of the initialization file. This will prevent the Midnight Commander from trying to detect if your terminal supports color. Example: [Colors] color_terminals=linux,xterm color_terminals=terminal-name1,terminal-name2... The program can be compiled with both ncurses and slang, ncurses does not provide a way to force color mode: ncurses uses just the informa- tion in the terminal database. The Midnight Commander provides a way to change the default colors. Currently the colors are configured using the environment variable MC_COLOR_TABLE or the Colors section in the initialization file. In the Colors section, the default color map is loaded from the base_color variable. You can specify an alternate color map for a ter- minal by using the terminal name as the key in this section. Example: [Colors] base_color= xterm=menu=magenta:marked=,magenta:markselect=,red The format for the color definition is: =,:= ... The colors are optional, and the keywords are: normal, selected, marked, markselect, errors, input, reverse, gauge. Menu colors are: menu, menusel, menuhot, menuhotsel. Dialog colors are: dnormal, dfo- cus, dhotnormal, dhotfocus. Help colors are: helpnormal, helpitalic, helpbold, helplink, helpslink. Viewer color is: viewunderline. Spe- cial highlighting colors are: executable, directory, link, stalelink, device, special, core. Editor colors are: editnormal, editbold, edit- marked. input determines the color of input lines used in query dialogs. gauge determines the color of the filled part of the progress bar (gauge), which is used to show the user the progress of file opera- tions, such as copying. The dialog boxes use the following colors: dnormal is used for the nor- mal text, dfocus is the color used for the currently selected compo- nent, dhotnormal is the color used to differentiate the hotkey color in normal components, whereas the dhotfocus color is used for the high- lighted color in the currently selected component. Menus use the same scheme but uses the menu, menusel, menuhot and menuhotsel tags instead. Help uses the following colors: helpnormal is used for normal text, helpitalic is used for text which is emphasized in italic in the manual page, helpbold is used for text which is emphasized in bold in the man- ual page, helplink is used for not selected hyperlinks and helpslink is used for selected hyperlink. Special highlight colors determine how files are displayed when file highlighting is enabled (see the section on Layout). directory is used for directories or symbolic links to directories; executable for exe- cutable files; link is used for symbolic links which are neither stale nor linked to a directory; stalelink is used for stale symbolic links; device - character and block devices; special is used for special files, such as pipes and sockets; core is for core files. The possible colors are: black, gray, red, brightred, green, bright- green, brown, yellow, blue, brightblue, magenta, brightmagenta, cyan, brightcyan, lightgray and white. And there is a special keyword for transparent background. It is 'default'. The 'default' can only be used for background color. Example: [Colors] base_color=normal=white,default:marked=magenta,default NOTE: These are from the man pages for MC. stephen kuhn - owner == illawarra computer services a kuhn media australia company http://kma.0catch.com -- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * We expressly refuse to utilise Microsoft DRM encoded documents -- The meek shall inherit the earth; but by that time there won't be anything left worth inheriting.

[newbie] Sound System and System Bell issues
Hi all, I'm having two problems with audio in my mandrake 10.0 community installation. First my configuration: I have a SB Audigy Platinum EX card (the SB Audigy standard card with the external connectors box). I've configured ALSA with "snd-emu10k1" driver (from Sound Configuration tool). The sound is working quite good with various multimedia applications (cd players, movie players, tv players using a TVCard). I can play MIDI files with KMid using the SB emulation after having loaded the soundbank at startup. I even have the System Notification sounds working. The only two problems are the following. 1) If I open the System Bell panel and configure to use it instead of System Notification no sound can be heard when pressing the "Test" button on when generating a bell warning in the console. This is definetly a minor issue as the System Notification works. 2) If from the Sound System window I try "Test Sound" everything works but the "Test MIDI" button remains silent. No errors, no sound. From the same panel, the HW configuration is "Emu10k1 Wave Table - Emu10k1 Port 0 ALSA device" the same used by KMid that works good! Any help on this issues? Thanks!

[newbie] Spamassassin and Bayes: I must be missing something
Hi: I am using Spamassassin version 2.63 (spamd and spamc invoked by procmail) installed from 10CE cd and it is only catching around 20% of spams, which in my case means that is missing between 60-70 spams a day. Since missing that large percent of spams is something that is only happening to me, my conclusion is that I must be doing something awfully wrong (or missing something extremely obvious). I have read that bayesian filters start doing their job after been trained with 2000 or more spams. I already have fed spamassassin with more than 2300 messages using the command: sa-learn --mbox --spam /home/adolfobello/evolution/local/sa-spam/mbox Less than 2 weeks ago I also started training it with hams. sa-learn --mbox --ham /home/adolfobello/evolution/local/sa-ham/mbox Every time that I run those commands I also delete the spam and ham mailboxes. (Is this the right thing to do?) My /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf looks like: ## rewrite_subject 0 report_header 0 use_terse_report 1 always_add_report 0 auto_whitelist_path/var/spool/spamassassin/auto-whitelist auto_whitelist_file_mode 0666 report_safe 0 use_bayes 1 # Every line in ~/.spamassassin/user_prefs is commented out. Command to invoke spamc from procmailrc :0fw | /usr/bin/spamc -s 256000 Command to start spamd: /usr/bin/spamd -d -c -a -m5 -H Mailing lists, mail from trusted domains and some other virus catching procmail filters are called before spamc. What am I missing or doing wrong? Any help will be truly appreciated. I am drowning in junk mails. Adolfo Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] Ballmer: no regrets about security flaws
Oh, this guy is some piece of work: liar, thief, a whole whack of personality disorders goin' on here. Check this out: "After a few introductory questions about how security issues had affected Microsoft's bottom line and Ballmer personally (his family and friends don't like browser hijacking and pop-up ads either), I got to the point: Does the company regret adding any of the product features that have since been exploited so relentlessly? In a word, no. "It's all a question of point in time," he explained -- Microsoft had customers and competitors to attend to, and security wasn't the biggest priority then. Take Web browsers, for example. "The browser wars were never about security, the browser wars were about features," Ballmer said, explaining why Microsoft added such items to Internet Explorer as ActiveX software to run Windows programs inside the browser. "I'm not saying that was right, with 20/20 hindsight; all I'm saying is the competitive marketplace took us all in a certain direction." " *'All'*?! No, just you Stevie, no one else on the planet thought it was a good idea to embed insecure applications right into the OS, only MS. And after all the harm that has been done, the billions of dollars in damage and lost productivity and waste of bandwidth, well, no apologies, no regrets, just a 'we're workin' on it'.

To find out, open a terminal and give command "uname -r" (without the quotes), then copy/paste the results. Then we need to check your lilo settings.

I tend to use Netgear stuff, but it seems to me that it is all pretty good, exspecially if you don't mix and match brands between the router and the nics. 2. How good is the router's integrated firewall? It will probably be good enough to prevent anybody that might scan your ip address from seeing a machine running. 3. Since wireless introduces some security problems, what measures should be taken? You can turn on WEP to encrypt your traffic, but this in my mind is less of a risk than preventing people you don't want to access the lan from logging in. -Change the default essid and password -Turn on authentication by mac address, so only your two computers can log on and obtain an ip address -Turn on wep, realizing that you might lose some network throughput, although if you are not transferring files back and forth, your wireless net will still be faster than the cable modem, so you shouldn't ever notice it. 4. Wife's PC is pure Mandrake 9.1; mine is Mandrake 9.2 with a non-functional Win98SE installation. (No, not another MS dig -- it hasn't been used since a major hardware upgrade last year. I'd like to keep it that way.) DLink claims that the router and wireless adapters are compaible with Linux, but their manuals only cover Windows. Be prepared to possibly have to at least update your wife's kernel to get support for whatever nic you choose. Depending on how new, the kernel from 9.1 (or 9.2 for that matter) may not support the nic you have chosen, although later kernels might. Try to find someone using this hardware and find out what kernel version works well before committing. You may wanted to consider upgrading both boxes to 10.0 when it becomes official in a couple of weeks. The drakconnect wizard is really good at setting up wireless now and there is a better chance the new kernel will support your nics. 4. Can I install, configure all of the DLink stuff and verify that it works prior to the visit by the cable guy? Yes, in fact it might be helpful to see if the signal will be strong enough from the most convenient place to place the router, instead of the best place to get strong signal, which might be inaccesible and difficult to run a cable line to. 5. How much of a hassle will it be with the cable modem and router in a remote location? If you have to reset the modem and router, you usually have to remove power from it and then recycle them, nmodem first and then router. I rarely have to do that with mine, but when I do, it is nice that it is accessible. Plus, when I am havng a problem, it is easy to check and see if the modem has sync.

Re: [newbie] bootloader reinstall prob.
Hi My mail seems to be getting returned a lot lately though it also appears to get through, not sure where the problem is. As to editing lilo, be sure you are convinced of what you are doing, try the following: At a command konsole, sign in as su: $su Password Then: #vim /etc/lilo.conf Key the letter "i" Arrow down to what you want to remove and do the "Delete/Backspace" thing to edit out, then: Type in: :wq And press enter. AND DON'T FORGET THIS NEXT PART! Issue the following: #/sbin/lilo And if you get errors, go back to the start and correct the bits indicated by the errors.

Re: [newbie] Installing from a RW
Nothing worked with the mdk10 isos, but when i tried burning my old mdk 9.2 iso onto one of the same discs i used for mdk 10, it booted from it.. Perhaps my iso is bad? I dled it from ftp, they cant all be bad..? The first disk of 10.0 doesn't boot on some drives. It looks like you have one of those. Greg is right! I have just installed Mdk 10 with cdrws and, in fact, cd1 does not boot (well, at least on my computer...). There a trick to overcome the problem: (1) have a look at the file install.htm on cd1 and search for information how to install Mdk 10 with a floppy disk plus the cds; (2) follow the instructions therein and you will be able to install Mdk 10 with cdrws.
