Re: [SLUG] One for the smtp routing guru's
That whoosh you just heard was the sound of the joke going way over your head. No that whoosh was the sound of the sendmail config going way over my head ;-) Sendmail seems to be in the way way too hard basket (besides Rodos said it wouldn't work anyway). So perhaps I need to look at qmail or see if our local resident perl genius can really "whip up my own mta". I just love these guys that can build a nuclear reactor with three lines of perl code. Anyway, for the curious, the point of the exercise is. Many different users set their mua to use the mail server as their outbound smtp. Some users are allowed to have their e-mail delivered without any tampering, others however are obviously evil and their mail must go via the corporate server to have whatever degrading indignaties are to be imposed on them (virus scanning, long winded legalise tacked on the end, all nudie pictures removed etc...) Why can't I just tell the good guys to use the mta, and the bad guys the corporate e-mail server? Well...there's this "firewall" thing so the corporate server only excepts mail from the mta... (well sometimes you have to put OSS between "commercial" software and the internet to stop it from becoming spam central. ;-) Of course a smart user might try to set their "mail from" to something else and put a quite note in the body of the message requesting the recipient not reply to the envelope address but to the address written in the message body. Thus they could maybe get around the system and have their e-mails set free onto the ether without corporate tampering. But unfortunately for them, their e-mail admin has forseen this and is busy working out how to configure the smtp agent to use authenticated smtp to fetch the users "mail" attribute from the ldap directory. If this doesn't match the envelop "mail from" something nasty might happen to their e-mail... Now the tricky bit, if the "mail from" is NOT in the "naughty users list" their mail gets released to the ether undamaged, otherwise, their mail is routed to the corporate server for appropriate tampering before heading out.

Re: [SLUG] CVS Pserver under RH7
There's an example of what you need for a pserver on xinetd.org as a caveat to that, tho, the current CVS rpms (1.10-8) are buggy (read showstopper'd) when used as a pserver. We ended up using the deb packages and aliening them to rpms, and they're quite happy.

[SLUG] Routing
Hi Everyone, Situation: Debian Linux box - mail server, DNS, ipmasq - running 3 network interface. One local (eth1) on the local 10.10.10.0/24 network, one (ppp0) a permanent dialup connection to connect with a static IP, and one (ppp1) a permanent dynamic IP ADSL connection through Telstra. The ADSL is recently added (as of this afternoon) and according to the logs and ifconfig appears to be running fine thanks to rp-pppoe. However, I'm falling down at the last step here... Problem: I need to be able to route ftp traffic over the ADSL line. Now to be honest I don't know how to make anything go over the ADSL line without breaking the default route over the modem. Is there a way to create and use two default routes and then firewall the ftp traffic out over ADSL? Ipchains with -p21/22 -i ppp1 options? They want to do something more crazy later on that'll likely involve me scouring the adv-routing HowTo, do I need to for this problem?

[SLUG] copyright threat!
I believe some of these copyright proposals pose a serious threat to free software. It would be good to see SLUG write to the committee involved, putting the views of a Linux users group (to help oppose the BSAA-funded lobbyists pushing the case for Microsoft and their ilk). Danny. - Forwarded message from Nick Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Date: Thu, 7 Dec 2000 12:24:08 +1100 From: Nick Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [LINK] Andrews Committee Report on Copyright Enforcement X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Dear Linkers Below is a quick (and dirty) summary of the HoR Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs report into Copyright Enforcement. Some dangerous stuff here. Note these are just recommendations. No laws yet. Eventual laws (if introduced by the Government) may not be as bad as those which the Committee seems to have proposed. The full report can be found at: http://www.aph.gov.au/house/committee/laca/copyrightenforcement/contents.htm Summary of Cracking Down on Copycats: Enforcement of Copyright in Australia The Report contains a number of recommendations which either make the process of copyright infringement litigation easier for plaintiffs or increase the penalties that defendants may face. The proposed litigation 'improvements' (a number of which have distinct civil liberties implications) include: * the reversal of the onus of proof in civil (and criminal) cases with respect to ownership of copyright; * increased powers of civil seizure of infringing material; * the withdrawal of the privilege against self-incrimination in civil proceedings; * reversal of onus of proof in relation to defendant's knowledge in civil actions. * There are a number of other issues of concern also: 1. (recommendation 3) The Andrews Committee appears to recommend that the use of circumvention devices be made an offence (though it is arguable that this recommendation will be satisfied by the present provisions will only proscribe trafficking); 2. (recommendation 10) A recommendation for criminal liability for 'licensees' where that licensee has actual or constructive notice of infringing software held by an employee or agent. This could mean for example, criminal liability for a University administrator or a CEO who knew or ought reasonably to have known that employees of the university or company had made more copies of a piece of software than the body had licences for. 3. (recommendation 11) The Report recommends that the possession of infringing software 'up to a certain value' be made a criminal offence. The Report 'does not envisage that the proposed offence would be used to prosecute ordinary citizens who possess infringing copies'. However, there is no reason why this could not occur. Due to the expensive nature of software, value thresholds are easily crossed; a person with AutoCAD and certain graphic design applications on their hard drive will be in possession of software to the value of many thousands of dollars. As the BSAA estimates that 33% of all copies of software pirated, this proposed offence may make criminals of a substantial portion of the Australian people. 4. (recommendation 19) The Andrews Committee has recommended that 'collecting societies should be authorised to detect infringements and enforce creators rights', allowing them to offer 'compulsory licences' to infringers. This recommendation would allow a collecting society (such as CAL or APRA for example) to detect 'infringements' (the judgement as to what is an infringement would belong to the society rather than a Court) and offer paid licences, regardless of whether the owner of the copyright in question is a member of that society. (The strongest objections to this provision will surely come from copyright owners who are not members of a society and who will be forced by statute into an agency relationship with that society. Such owners may discover that users who they are preparing to sue or settle with have received licences from a society without their permission). 'Such a change would represent a significant grant of power to collecting societies, effectively turning them into private (but mandated by law) copyright police forces. It is entirely reasonable that collecting societies might want to provide copyright enforcement services on behalf of their members but it is somewhat strange to make them the legal agents of all copyright owners of a class of work, regardless of whether that owner joins the society. Surely copyright owners (particularly those who are not members of the collecting society in question) would prefer to be informed of a potential infringement of copyright rather than have the society offer a licence on their behalf?

Ok, this is a pretty new feature in sendmail but I am working on one that does virus scanning... The guys who wrote the scanner have actually used a rather clever feature in sendmail so they can use a mailer to send all the mail to the mailer first and the mailer re-injects the mail into sendmail who then delivers it to the final destination. That way all the mail goes through the mailer who can do with it as it pleases (including throwing it into a black hole). Ok, this is more than just tweaking the *.cf file... My statement was that it can be done. BTW, I have dealt with both sendmail and qmail and my choice is sendmail. Yes, I know, the learning curve for sendmail IS much steeper but it is much more feature-rich (and potentially bug-prone).

Re: [SLUG] TCP Wrapper error.

Prob 2 was my IRIX box is not letting my Linux box in. Still not solved but have done lots more checking. I have used tcpchk and tcpmatch to check my hosts.allow and hosts.deny against inetd.conf and it all reports OK. In the example below 100.10.10. is not my real ip addr. /etc/hosts.allow telnetd : 100.10.10.16 /etc/hosts.deny ALL : ALL In inetd.conf we have: telnet stream tcp nowait root/usr/sbin/tcpd telnetd (the daemons live in /etc/sbin and are called this not in.telnetd ) If I have in hosts.allow the line ALL : LOCAL then I can connect as the logs show: Dec 8 11:38:39 6C:mol telnetd[1070]: connect from mylinuxbox Dec 8 11:38:45 6E:mol login[1072]: ?@mylinuxbox as mikel If I dont have ALL : LOCAL (and I dont want it) the logs give: Dec 8 11:58:50 6D:mol inetd[204]: received SIGHUP: reconfiguring ...and when i try to connect by telnetting from my Linux box Dec 8 11:32:16 4C:mol telnetd[1048]: refused connect from mylinuxbox "tcpdchk -v" gives... Rule /etc/hosts.allow line 6: daemons: telnetd clients: 100.10.10.16 access: granted and tcpdmatch /etc# tcpdmatch telnetd mylinuxbox client: hostname mylinuxbox client: address 255.255.255.255 server: process telnetd matched: /etc/hosts.allow line 5 access: granted /etc# tcpdmatch telnetd 100.10.10.16 client: address 100.10.10.16 server: process telnetd matched: /etc/hosts.allow line 6 access: granted So it looks like tcpwrappers SHOULD be letting in my Linux box to the IRIX but it won't.
