Can I set it up in any way that it doesn't log the connections from my computer to the proxies I'm using ( 213.224.83.x ) ? 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.

After installation, all I had to do was copy the mgmt.o file to /usr/share/speedtouch, so I read and I could connect to the net... I started the Mandrake config gui to configure, domain, dns, user/pass, the line was tested and for the first time in my life I could connect to the net through Linux, wich I wasn't able to do with Suse or Redhat, because of the uge install problems I surfed some on the net, shut down the pc and when I restarted it I could not reconnect again. The modem is loaded I think, because the 2 green lights are on and the line is tested no error occur I use the internet icon on the desktop to connect to the net, I click it on, I click on connect, the line is tested, than is says: connection failed and something about reconfiguring with mandrake configure.Though domain, dns, user and pass are correctly configured..

Re: [newbie] Proxy and NAT
The Cisco PIX firewall does it like this: clientA: 10.0.0.1===(PIX)123.4.5.6:5677Server clientB: 10.0.0.2===(PIX)123.4.5.6:5678Server What I'm trying to say here is that, where there are a limited number of valid Internet addresses available to the outside (Internet) interface of the NAT, then it sends data to the Internet server as if that data was coming from the same IP address but different ports. This is known as Port Address Translation in the Cisco world. So basically the NAT translates two different internal addresses (10.0.0.1/2) into the same external address but with different ports. The difference between this and your suggestion is that it is the NAT box which provides the different port numbers. The Cisco PIX firewall is basically a NAT box with added security features, and this method of doing things does not necessarily apply elsewhere. This scheme cannot be used with streaming protocols, according to Cisco; I've never tried.

Re: [newbie] How to manually enable HD optimisations after install
first of all, I don't know whether what I am about to suggest is what is meant by "disk optimistation," but here goes: In the console if you enter: hdparm -t /dev/hda (where hda is a hard disk, probably the one on which you have installed Linux) then you will get an answer after a number of seconds showing the transfer rate which that disk has achieved. Just doing hdparm /dev/hda with no options will show you the paramters which the IDE controller is using for that disk If your disk is not using DMA then try entering: hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda and then do the -t option again. See if you get any increase in transfer rate. Also one worth trying is hdparm -c 1 /dev/hda which will enable 32-bit I/O. If you find that these improve disk performance you can put them in a combined form, i.e.: hdparm -c 1 -d 1 -k 1 /dev/hda at the end of /etc/rc.local. If you have more than one disk then try it on the others as well. ***NB*** It is possible that using these commands will lead to data corruption, although I myself have never had that experience. Also remember that if you are using SCSI disks and not IDE your device names will be /dev/sda, /dev/sdb etc. There are many other hdparm options covering such things as buffer size, block size etc. which I have to admit I don't really understand.

Now at your linux box enter: smbpasswd -j domain-name -r pdc-netbios-name -U admin-acct-on-NT Substitute your domain name, pdc name and admin account id as necessary.

Re: [newbie] NT4 domain joining
First of all you need SAMBA installed and configured. The relevant entries in /etc/smb.conf should look something like this (my version SAMBA is 2.0.6): workgroup = mydomain NetBIOS name = mylinuxmachine ;(this will be the netbios name that windows sees) security = domain password server = * encrypt passwords = yes then on your NT PDC or BDC go to server manager. Add a new NT workstation to the domain with a name the same as the NetBIOS name you entered in smb.conf. Next go back to the linux machine as root. Enter: smbpasswd -j mydomain -r pdc-netbiosname -U administrator-on-NT Substitute your domain name, linux machine name and netbios name of your PDC as required. NOTE: "security = domain" should not be changed - it's exactly that. To get Samba to recognise the new config do: /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart Chris Slater-Walker - Original Message - From: "J Michael Graham" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 24, 2000 6:04 PM Subject: [newbie] NT4 domain joining Anyone know of an app or the procedure to get a linux (mandrake 7.0) box to join and login to an NT4 domain?

Re: [newbie] boot to console
Edit the file /etc/inittab. Find the line: id:5:initdefault: Change the 5 (which specifies starting in X) to 3 (which specifies console). The number is actually the runlevel which Linux boots into. Runlevel 3 is console, multi-user; runlevel 5 is X.

Re: [newbie] 10/100 mb hub won't work
Who is the manufacturer of the huv and NIC? At work I have had some problems with 3Com 10/100 hubs not communicating with 10mb NICs. I know this isn't your problem, I'm just interested to know. I'm sure that the auto-negotiation which 10/100 hibs have to do to determine the speed of the card they are connected to does not always work.

All my computers (NT 4.0 server and workstation, Win 95) work fine with the hub. I plugged the Linux box into the hub and it won't work. I switched back to my 10 MB, just to slow for a power user like me, and it works fine. What gives?
Re: [newbie] Network Card Nightmares
I had a similar problem with an NE2000 clone. The way i got it to work was: 1. Enable plugpray on card. 2. Run Lothar against the card, but change no parameters. 3. Change the card to non-pp, and give it an IRQ and address. 4. In Linuxconfig other net config app enter the card's parameters manually.

[newbie] DNS Cache-only server
Does anyone have any experience of setting up Linux (Mandrake 7.1) as a cache-only DNS server? I think there is a fairly simple way to do this, but memory fails me (as usual...) TIA Chris Slater-Walker
