[newbie] OT websites
Hi I have a server here at home that I mess around with running a none too interesting family site :-) I have a second site that i would like to get up and running. I was wondering if its possible to run two totally separate websites from one server on the same IP.

Re: [newbie] Virus laden e-mail
I do not get any that are not picked up by either my filters or clamav. They get picked up but I get an annoying message sent to me by Clamav saying a message with a virus was sent and has been quarantined. So I get a mail to me to delete and a .msg and a .log file to get rid of from the server. I really must play around with it so that it just deletes the darn things...

Re: [newbie] Virus laden e-mail
Yes, your MSN monicker is indeed correct. You are a sillydilly. Well OK then rather that telling me how stupid I am why not make some sort of constructive suggestion. I did a who-is search on host14-206.pool8172.interbusiness.it and got bugger all. Found out the IP to be 81.72.206.14 I tried - ipchains -A INPUT -s 81.72.206.14 -j DROP But my server does not seem to have ipchains or at least it did not recognise the command and yes I was logged in as root. Ideally what I want to do is to get my server to just say Bog off when the delivery attempt is made. But I don't know how to do that. I had hoped that adding the IP or the sender details to the black list of Spam Assassin might do this but it does not. I guess the best thing would be to do a /dev/null in my procmail script if I had the faintest idea how to do that. Please remember not everyone that frequents this list has a computer science course under their belt or has had systems admin training. I'm just one guy running a server from home just because for me its a fun hobby. Everything I know I've had to pick up by asking silly questions on lists like this!

Re: [newbie] Virus laden e-mail
Hi OK I've read with interest some of your replies. It would seem that what I have actually been doing is rejecting any emails sent to me whereby the user is not registered on my server. It would seem that the option in my server manager panel that handles postfix and that I thought was bouncing them back was not! It is actually sending a reject code 554 when the user is not recognised to the originating server. I did not realise it did this and only found out by asking on the user forum for my server's version of Linux. I was only coherently able to do this because of the helpful comments I gleamed from this list! Just goes to show my server has been very well set up, with fools like me in mind, so we don't make monumental admin screw ups! I am sorry about my loose terminology which I think may have been the cause of all this. However in my defence it did spawn a useful dialogue. Basically my home network (for those interested) consists of - 1 x Linux server 2 x Mandrake 10.1 Official workstations (for me and the wife to do most of our computing - these are the only machines that have been set up to get e-mail) 1 x Winblows box (I use some complicated mapping software that won't run under wine, and also a Internet database of Rights of Way that I use is only compatible with IE. For some reason the scripts just won't work properly in Mozilla and there are too few Linux people using it to justify the creators spending the time to fix it. Not ideal but I can cope with it as I have to have the machine for the mapping software anyway) I use three accounts for email. Two of them are used for lists and public forums and are pop accounts. One does all the computer related stuff and the other handles all the other misc interests I have :-). The last one is my own private addy that is on my server and that I am careful who I tell about! My server does receive mail direct. I have to use my ISP for SMTP to send mail from this particular address, or as I found out it in another of my learning curves, it ends up getting reported as spam! I have ClamAV installed on the server and I also have Spam Assassin but I think I need to do some research as I don't think I am using it to its full potential. Anyway it seems to have done the trick as the problem seems to have resolved itself.

Re: [newbie] OT Email problems
I think the problem is with your ISP been consider a spammer, not you. Yes somebody told me that many people are blocking my ISP en-bloc. I beleive its because they have a very poor security policy (I suspect they have been used for relaying spam?) and the amount of spam I get in my official account is rediculous. I occasionally go in to it online and delete the pages of it :-( It seems that my problem arose when I upgraded my server. I did not realise that my mailer was sending my emails direct from my MX rather than using the relays of my ISP which was causing them to get caught in spam filters. I have to tell the server to send them to my ISPs relays and then everything got fixed. Don't remember having to do that last time I set up the server. Either that or it was not a feature in the last version. Anyway I assume the bounces are from somebody subbed to this list then?

Re: [newbie] Problems with MDK 10
Hi Right sofar - Managed to get updates to work from the terminal using one of the club mirrors. Xsane now recognises my scanner after I unpluged it and pluged it back in again but still does not work. Seems to be seriously broken - its a HP scanjet 6200C and was working fine under 9.2. The GUI just comes up blank and freezes. I have managed to get Xine to work from the terminal installing libdvdnav, libdvdread, and libdvdcss. For some reason trying to run it from the link on the menu just causes it to dissappear when you try and play a DVD. It still won't play audio CD either. I can't get any sound out of KsCD (Yes I do have the audio cable on the back connected to the audio card). But then I've never managed to get it to work on this system. I just used to use Xine or Totem. Totem won't play Audio - I get totem could not play this media (Audio CD) although a plugin is present to handle it. I've tried googling on it but got nothing much of any sense back. It does however play MP3s. I am wondering if I am missing some vital RPM from Gstreamer or something.

Re: [newbie] Problems with MDK 10
Hi I managed to get Xmms to work. I downloaded and installed xmms-cdread rpm and it works. So in theory there is no reason why I can't get Xine and Totem to work. I am convinced its a plugin problem I.E. that I don't have the necessary plugins installed. Can sombody who is familiar with these things tell me which plugins I need to get both Xine and Totem to play audio CDs.

Re: [newbie] bit torrent
36hrs? Still seems like a very broken way of distributing files. My torrent is still open. I don't know what I'm helping to do since the files I downloaded are zero bytes in size.

If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report. If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn't hash, then your situation's hopeless and your system's gonna crash! If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that's repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall. And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, 'cuz sure as I'm a poet, the sucker's gonna hang.

However when I start Kmix I get a blank GUI with no functions and if I go into gnome it tells me there is a problem with /dev/sequencer and that I should check that I have the right modules configured in the kernel.

Re: [newbie] Anyone know of an icq type app taht is decent?
what would that have to do with anything? And how? Well the whole point of urpmi is it works out dependencies and goes and gets the needed rpm's and installs it all. Now if its scuttling off and getting the wrong rpm's, which in your case it is, then something is broken somewhere. This is just my simple logic and anyway it is a good idea to update regularly your urpmi anyway! I was able to urpmi kopete 7.1 (texstar version) or 6.2 last night and it installed fine. How: urpmi.update -a If that don't work mail me again (off list if you like) and I'll download the rpm's and send them to you. -- John Willby Registered Linux user number 321644 ICQ: 92791912 Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] YIM/AIM: vicarofwibley Linux is like a wigwam - No Gates, no Windows, Apache inside. 06:50:21 up 12:47, 2 users, load average: 0.88, 0.77, 0.74 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Oh right. Bugger. I'll get onto the Kopete list and see what they are going to do about this. May have to adapt the plugin or something for the new settings.

Kopete are releasing a 0.7.2 version that will use the new MSN protocol. Looks like I'll have to try and get that to work on all my systems.

Re: [newbie] SMS message and other things
How soon do you think we'll need to do this? No idea but if they do pull the plug then there is a stable build of 0.7.2 on CVS.

Re: [newbie] I bin spoofed!
aaah, yes, Outhouse Express... Lookout! Express... well, it's more just to say, I did it, set up a mailing list that is. Plus, I'm fairly fluent with most of the bigger names out there, ie. Quake, er...uh, well, Quake. I think the really cool thing would be if we could get a Mandrake thang going really promoting Linux as a gaming platform, and even hook up together on a server here and there, despite our obvious problems with differences in ping...Turkey, US, Euro, Canada, etc. There are a lot of good *cough* Microsoft *cough* type games I would love to be able to play on my Linux box.

Spamassassin rule was Re: [newbie] I bin spoofed!
My ISP uses Spamassassin, and maintains the rules. It is about 99+% effective if it is kept up to date. It does scoring, and places the score in the email, which allows me to place 'probable spam', with a marginal score, in a separate folder. This has been very helpful in preventing the loss of good email. I have spam assassin on my server but I never noticed the option you mention. Which version is it you are using maybe its newer than mine? Sounds like a good idea to me. Or is it something you setup yourself? -- John Willby Registered Linux user number 321644 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 92791912 Linux is like a wigwam - No Gates, no Windows, Apache inside. 08:31:05 up 2 days, 11:14, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
Re: [newbie] free software frozen bubble Linus Torvalds
... please somebody explain to what's that part about Linus Torvalds ... I thought he was the founder of Linux ... and suporter of free software .. stuff lik that ... I can't be sure but as others have expressed it may be something to do with the name (i.e GNU/Linux vs Linux). If you look at some stuff in Linux it gives Linux as the registered trademark of Linus Torwhateveritishecallshimself. Maybe there is some conditions in his registering of the trademark that prevents anybody from taking the Linux kernel,tweaking it, and calling the resulting OS GNUx.

Re: [newbie] Lost New Mozilla
Can you (or someone else who might be a K expert!) please explain, in VERY simple terms, exactly how I simply do this? I know how to drag and copy an icon from the menu, but as the menu icons no longer work at all, is it possible to create new ones from scratch? Right click on start applications button - Menu editor - Select Networking- WWW (if this is what you have in your menu for web browsers) then select add entry. It will ask for title and command. The command line is the sym link to the exec for the program (mozilla). If you have more than one instance of Mozilla you won't be able to put mozilla in there but will need to give it the full path (i.e. something like /usr/local/bin/mozilla). Then just select the image you want for the button and save it all and exit. it should work. If it just flashes and nothing happens then you have got the path wrong. BTW I personally have upgraded Mozilla many times and its never not worked yet! -- John Willby Registered Linux user number 321644 MSN: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 92791912 Linux is like a wigwam - No Gates, no Windows, Apache inside. 08:46:47 up 2 days, 11:30, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [newbie] Apps not showing in panel
Does the panel work correctly if you log-in as another user? Yes it does.

Re: [newbie] SCO reversal
Sounds to me like its the old directors, panicking that SCO can't cut it, do something to bump up the share price, sell at inflated price and then watch it all go under and hope nobody notices that they made a tidy little earner on the side.
