Type man gv for more details. You can modify the resources /etc/X11/app-defaults/GV GV.watchFile: GV.watchFileFrequency: /etc/X11/app-defaults/GV to what you need. Thanks, Olivier!

Re: [newbie] configuration of Snort IDS
Get a copy of NMAP and start scanning devices on your network to see if the Snort box catches it. If not, you'll need to go over your config settings with a fine-tooth comb. You'll usually find that a type in the network address or something is easy to do. The DNS variable is for you to put in the address(es) of you DNS machine(s). Thie will cause Snort to ignore certain DNS rules that would otherwise cause false alarms. Snort rule updates can be found at snort.org in the downloads section.

I'm a newcomer to Snort myself, so the following may be partially or totally incorrect, but you might like to try it: in the /etc/snort.conf file (check the location of that file!), there should be an item that looks like: $MY_NET=any This Snort variable tells Snort which networks are internal. So, for example, if you want to tell Snort that all of the 213.224.83.x network is an internal network, you put this in snort.conf: $MY_NET=213.224.83.0/24 You can also include other networks in your definition, e.g.: $MY_NET=[213.224.83.0/24,192.168.0.0/24] Now many of the Snort rules use the $EXTERNAL_NET and $MY_NET variables to determine whether there is a potential attack, so if Snort knows which networks are internal then it won't report traffic from those networks as an attack. You _might_ also need to change the $EXTERNAL_NET variable to _exclude_ the networks you have defined for $MY_NET, e.g.: $EXTERNAL_NET=![213.224.83.0/24,192.168.0.0/24] Like I said, this is all I can tell you with my limited experience.

Re: [newbie] configuration of Snort IDS
Chris, Your advice is largely accurate, but an easier way to set the $EXTERNAL_NET variable would be to set it equal to !$MY_NET. Keeps the code a little neater. You definately want to set $EXTERNAL_Net to be equal to !$MY_NET to resuce false positives internally.

[newbie] Configuration of SNF and ADSL
Hi ! I'm trying to get my new ADSL connection and SNF 7.2 working together. I have no problems getting the eth0 (for the internal network..) up and running, but it's impossible to get the connection to my ISP to work. Does anyone have any experience from the config of eth1 (ext network) and an Alcatel Speed Touch ADSL modem? My ISP is Telia in Sweden. Should I use the ADSL-config or the Cable/LAN-config (some other similar S/W's like Smoothwall use LAN as I/F for this ADSL-modem connected to my second NIC eth1..)? Any comments much appreciated !!

Re: [newbie] Configuration Files (repost)
1. What does rc stand for, as opposed to conf? Originally it is derived from Multics 'runcom' files, which (I guess) were similar to batch files / scripts. Nowadays, it's just a resource/ configuration file, kinda similar in concept to an .INI in Windows. 2. I read that /etc is for miscellaneous files...isn't it *only* for configuration files? I haven't checked the LFS (Linux File Standards) on this, but it would seem that /etc is only for configuration files of a global nature. In earlier usage, /etc was more a hodgepodge, a place to store something that was for global use, but was inappropriate to place elsewhere. That's why we still have things like /etc/issue, /etc/MOTD, and the like. (Even 'mount' and other admin tools used to live in /etc at one point.) 3. Global user settings are stored in /etc, while personal ones are stored as /home/username/.somethingrc, right? Mostly. At least that's the way it's supposed to work. More complicated things are stored in a hidden directory off of the user's home directory, rather than in a single hidden file. George ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) David E.

Re: [newbie] Configuration Files (repost)
Well I have no idea why .*rc files are used. But I know they're basically personal config files. /etc is basically full of config files and information files. There are some scripts in there to start services. Things like /etc/modules.conf are really just informational config files. You can edit that yourself, but for the most part, Linux is what makes changes to that. But there are still things like /etc/sendmail.cf, or /etc/hosts, /etc/bashrc. If you go into /etc/init.d you will find the scripts that are used to restart services. Like /etc/init.d/network, sshd, http, postfix and more. You can do a ls in /etc/init.d to see everything in there. .*rc files that are in $HOME, are used to over ride the default *rc files. If you check, there's already a /etc/bashrc, and more. Those are looked at as soon as you get a prompt, or as soon as you run an app. Those are the defaults. Now you can edit those, but if you have several users on that one machine, they may like/want the changes you made to the config file. So you make changes to the $HOME/.bashrc instead of /etc/bashrc. The $HOME/.bashrc and files of that nature are copied into the home directories when the user is created. Those files are copied directly from /etc/skel. On FreeBSD, it will actually ask you if you would like the skel files to be copied, and you can say yay, or nay. In Linux, it does it with out asking. I'm not sure if the person that posted this message to start out with will see this, but I hope this answers somebody's questions. tdh -- T.

[newbie] Configuration of a network adaptor
Hi all, I have trouble configuring my network board under mandrake7.0. Here are the steps I followed: 1. I ran netconf and gave it the information needed regarding hostname, the request for DHCP, and DNS address. 2. I did "ifconfig eth0 up" in order to configure the the interface eth0. But this gives me a message that the device is busy. 3. I ping with 127.0.0.1 and it seems to work. 4. I run the "dhcpd " and it gives me a message: dhcpd.conf not found. Could any one help me by telling me whether these steps are ok or not and if not what should I do? Thanx siham __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

Type netconf at a root prompt. You can also do it with linuxconf. Or if you are new to linux and like mental masturbation, you can do it with the "modprobe", "ifconfig" and "route" commands.

RE: [newbie] Configuration
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I dont really get the apache question but if the website if remote then u can use somehting like wget to mirror the site. If it is local u can set a cron to copy the contents to another directory. Actually come to think of it u can use wget for the local as well just point to the loopback and set a cron to run it at predetermined intervals. As for your email question I think fetchmail and procmail combination is what u might be looking for. I am sorry but I have never used procmail but I know that u can configure it to filter base on headers and strings and stuff and make rules to deliver the matching messge to wherever. U can use fetchmail to pop (or imap) from different pop boxes by configuring the .fetchmailrc file in your home directory. The syntax is really easy to use. Hope I was of some help.
