Point taken... I suspect that because you were effectively acting as a open forwarder for a while your DNS may have been identified as good vector for generating attacks on third parties. I think you may find one of two things may happen now the attackers will go away, or they may get really p***d and try and blow you out of the water (network... whatever) Hopefully the former, if latter grab hard hat and duck :-) But there is a good point in that anyone running an externally available DNS that they should look at their query and forwarding configuration. Yes and in my original post, I was touting the virtues of a tool called 'fail2ban' which has worked wonders in reducing to near zero undesired access/attempted accesses on my systems on several of my servers including sshd and ftpd and with proper filters, several other commonly used daemons that script-kiddies use to try to break into systems. I happen to have a small LAN consisting of 4 machines, but I don't want people trashing it just for their jollies, or using it to facillitate trashing someone elses machines. Thus, while my security certainly is not perfect, I keep trying and tools like 'fail2ban' are quite useful. It is a testament that even 'naked', SUSE Linux is pretty secure but that doesn't mean we should sit back on our laurels and assume that it can't be cracked. So, even if you don't use a DNS server, if you use SSHd and need/want to use it from the external network, ie, from work or something, then 'fail2ban' is very effective there also.

I'll say it again, positional parameters in aliases are not what they seem to be. They are not substituted with the parameters used when the alias is invoked, they are the parameters passed (or established within) the shell executing the alias. test qwertyu This is equivalent to issuing this command: % echo $1 | grep qwert; echo $1 qwerty qwertyu You get this results _only because the shell you're using has no positional parameters_. Try this with your alias (by the way, calling it test is a very bad idea, since you usurp the test built-in and executable by doing so): % set argumentTheFirst % test qwerty What do you think you'll see? It is: argumentTheFirst qwerty But if we write this code in script we'll get qwertyu qwertyu That's because putting the body of the alias in a script is nothing like that alias. Thats why I use aliases only on simple commands and scripts on others. Aliases never were meant to handle positional parameter substitution.

[opensuse] Rearraging the Kmenu
Is there a way that I can manually rearrage programs in the Kmenu, for some reason programs are not being put under the right category, or they are in more than one. For example Supertuxcart, which is an arcade game, is under Kmenu Games Arcade and Kmenu Graphics. I know that a game should not go under the Graphics category.

[opensuse] Mount /opt on separate RAID
I have a SLES10 SP1 install in a hardware RAID 5 config. I am looking at adding another Array to the server and what i want to do with that array is mount the entire /opt directory and all its contents onto this new array. Is it possible to do this with the current install or would this break things by mounting to the new array? I really don't want to have to reload everything on this server. Here is what i was thinking: Boot the system, with the new drives installed, with the IBM servraid disc. Configure the new array, prolly RAID 0. Here is where i need some help. Can i then boot the system with SLES10 install disc and mount the existing /opt directory and all its contents on the new array?

Re: [opensuse-packaging] Split licenses.rpm (based on 'Building packages with linking a license from licenses.rpm')
Hello, on Sonntag, 29. Juli 2007, Lukas Ocilka wrote: Christian Boltz wrote: Hello, ... You mentioned an interesting point: Licenses used just for one package. IMHO it's pointless to move them to the licenses package because you can't save any space - you only can waste it if the package with that license isn't installed. I'd propose to put only licenses that are used at least by 10 packages in the licenses package. This solves several problems: - the non-existing space saving effect I mentioned above - the risk of having to keep old licenses (as mentioned by Robert) just to stay backward-compatible is reduced (because at least some of the packages will still be using it ;-) - the licenses package would be smaller - no need to split it Actually *all* licenses are in one package, so moving a license file from one to another isn't *space wasting* :) Only if each of the licenses is needed by at least one _installed_ package. rpm -ql licenses | grep /usr/share/doc/licenses/md5/ | wc -l 263 Do you have some statistics *how many times* each of them is used? This would be the most interesting information here. Your proposal including a license in licenses.rpm seems to be interesting, however it doesn't solve *space wasting* because there is no such issue. Depends of the point of view. There *is* such an issue on the well-discussed minimal system with only few packages installed. In this case, you don't need any of the more exotic licenses. You only need GPL, LGPL and the BSD license. (Yes, I know this is over-simplified, but you should get the point.) OTOH, I think that nearly no space will be wasted by unused licenses on my full-blown home installation (workstation + web development + much more). Looking at it from the other way round: By moving all licenses to the licenses package, - you _can_ save space at often used licenses (GPL and LGPL are the best examples, they are used hundres of times each) - you _cannot_ save space if a license is only needed by one package. This may even need additional space if the package with this license isn't installed. We should, of course, include only licenses, that are in use. Obvious - we don't need the Windows EULA ;-) Backward compatibility should be considered only for already released RPMs for one product. (I think this might be a bit tricky if not handled correctly). Sooner or later, you'll end up with a licenses-compat package. And, whatever you do, the size will always increase because of new licenses, but never decrease because you aren't allowed to remove outdated licenses. And you'll probably have to ship all licenses* packages, including -compat, in every media set, even on the one-CD for legal reasons [1] - you know how small a CD can be? ;-) Regards, Christian Boltz [1] I doubt that a pointer please download all licenses at download.opensuse.org/somepath is valid... -- Since 1997 we are VERP-DoSing mail servers all over the world [Henne Vogelsang in opensuse about lists.suse.com] - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
