You can have it read email back to you via the Festival speech engine (included in RH8 and newer), have it email you a notice of a voicemail complete with the number that called and even convert the message to mp3 or ogg and attach it to the email, or access your call log via the web. Very nice. It is perl based and the installer will go out and grab any needed modules that you don't have.

Then there is an additional argument in favor of DROP: during a DDoS situation, if your firewall is set to REJECT, then it must take the time to respond to every packet hitting the interface, adding to the load on your box.

Re: iptables woes
> i'm totally lost here > someone care to help? I would suggest taking the easy way out. If you have the gnome libs loaded, go to: http:firestarter.sourceforge.net and download the latest Firestarter 0.8.3 and install it. This produces a working iptables firewall with all policies set to DROP except for things you want open. Once you have that setup, then you can go back and try to figure out what went wrong with your original script. jb -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

Of course you are correct, David. But we have been skirting the central issue. Glen seems to think that the responsibility for "safe internet sex" rests in Red Hat's hands. I come down on the other side and maintain that Red Hat has given us the tools, but it is our - the user's - responsibility to ensure that we do our part to keep everybody safe. For Glen to shirk this responsibility is simply irresponsible in this day and age. No offence meant, Glen, but we all have to do our part.

Check your BIOS settings to see if you can change it to booting from the CD. jb ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

OK, fess up time: I went through this whole schmozzle myself the other day. I ended up doing the following: /sbin/chkconfig --levels 2345 vncserver off /sbin/service vncserver stop In other words, killing the service management provided by RH for Xvnc/vncserver. I then just did a simple "vncserver" at my user prompt. It asked me for a password then the verify, then it forked itself off in the background as it should and I could connect at will from my other boxes. Vncserver is now being started in my /etc/rc.d/local instead of the init.d. Not sure if I just didn't grok how RH has its vncserver management setup (highly likely) or if there really is something broken. Yes, I tried the /etc/sysconfig/vncservers but this didn't work either. Same symptoms as Vinnie described. jb ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list

This sounds depressingly familiar. I bet your eth1 card does not want to play nice with your hub. When going through a hub, I found that it is worth it to use the same brand of NICs on your internal network. The NIC linking to your cable modem can be anything pretty well but it pays to have consistency into and out of your hub. And likely the shoddier the make of your hub, the truer this will be. Just my 2 cents... Jack Bowling mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
