Re: [SLUG] Network card trouble
Robert Martinovic was once rumoured to have said: This is fairly useless information (it won't show interfaces, etc)... at a minimum, you should post the full output from both: iptables -t filter -nvL [excess output snipped] After reviewing your netfilter rules I think I've seen whats wrong. I take it your dial up is using a dynamically allocated IP address. Your Netfilter rules are set to do anti-spoof (which is wasteful since rp_filter already does this), and is blocking the wrong address on ppp0. your ruleset could be collasped down to: iptables -t nat -F POSTROUTING iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE iptables -t filter -F INPUT iptables -t filter -P INPUT ACCEPT iptables -t filter -F OUTPUT iptables -t filter -P OUTPUT ACCEPT iptables -t filter -F FORWARD iptables -t filter -P FORWARD ACCEPT (rp_filter will do the rest, and its enabled by default) If you want additional protection, you can make use of NetFilter's connection tracking and state modules by patching your INPUT rule. A simple example which blocks new inbound connections on ppp0 only might read: iptables -t filter -F INPUT iptables -t filter -P INPUT DROP iptables -t filter -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT iptables -t filter -A INPUT -i eth0 -j ACCEPT iptables -t filter -A INPUT -i ppp0 -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT iptables -t filter -A INPUT -i ppp0 -j LOG If OTOH, you're using a static IP dialup, you should be using SNAT, not MASQUERADE. you should read Rusty's guides none the less.

[SLUG] apsfilter :(
Hi, Just wanted to run this by you all... I am currently reinstalling a machine at home with apsfilter and samba etc so I can print to a HP 6L. I've got it all setup and can print most of the time from windows to the shared printer with no issues, although running the Test print option from within apsfilterconfig yields the followin error scrolling on linux console until it is broken with a control-c etc... execstackoverflow in Unrecoverable error: machine is debian potato with 2.2.19 kernel. Ocassionially this error is produced on the prints sent from windows, but not that often, and considering I have only printer about 5 items to so far, its not a very in depth test. Maybe if someone has some clues, I could try and investigate it all in the coming few days.

Also, I see some scuzzy disks say they are U160 LVD68 disks, while others just claim to be LVD68 and others just U160... can I take it that because some are U160 plus LVD68 that these are all the same thing? And that a U160 scuzzy card is what I need for a disk claiming to be a LVD68? There's a beautiful 18GB Seagate Cheetah LVD68 15,000rpm SCSI disk that I'm eyeballing... it's about time I started saving for a new computer, build the bugger myself since can't get anywhere near what I want preconfig'd, much less with my choice of Linux distro, disk partitioned ready also with BSD installed too, and a cable/DSL modem... :) It would be nice if the cable or dsl modem worked with Linux and Win 2K too. And, what is the best 512k upstream/downstream DSL deal around, and approx how much? What are the total costs, ballpark figures approx, for this kind of bandwidth along with ISP charges and phone call connection costs, how are these always-connected thingies charged by phone companies?

Looking for a room mate/flat mate/whatever they're called?? I'm poking around at some options for living in Wahroonga or near there.

LVD68/U160 SCSI disks (Seagate Cheetah Barracuda, Quantum Atlas, IBM Ultrastar) Yeah. Make sure you plug it in; then it will be compatible. [whatever] Cable or DSL modem Sure. Currently, Australian ADSL providers have consumer-level routers for which you need to use PPPOE software, and more expensive bridging routers (or routing bridges, whatever your fantasy) that will do the PPPOE for you (just assign an IP to the ethernet card). Cable modems are plug in and grab your settings via DHCP. There is Free Software available to interoperate with all of these; it's mostly a matter of software, not hardware.

Treasurer's report due in next week or so. Reincorporation stuff after that Insurance has been renewed. Signaturies: don't have to all be at bank at same time; need to fill out more forms tho. The required more forms were left at home. Can also show ID to a JP and get him to sign yet another form instead. PO Box: 5 possible locations in CBD. 44 Market St is nearest central station, so probably go with that one. Look into redirecting from there to someone's home mailbox, too. (patrick) Debian/SLUG Stand Apparently, Key3 Media have been in trouble with the ATO for not invoicing people they gave free stands to. "Solution" is for them to invoice us for $4000, and us to invoice them for the same amount.. (xfire + patrick) Meetings Coordinator General consensus to make xfire "official meetings coordinator". Make sure all talk organisation, etc gets CC'd to committee so we know whats going on. jdub to update web pages as usual This Month's Meeting Tridge is in (still to be properly confirmed tho). To talk about samba 2 internationalisation and samba 3. May have to pay his transport (possibly ~$200 if he flies). Since Tridge is making the trip, give him the full meeting. Move Jamie Honan's talk to July (with Rebecca) jdub to arrange BBQ King for post-meeting dinner. Randal Schwartz: not here in time for meeting (he'll be here first week of July). Hold a social event, with Randal giving a talk. Try and liaise with Sydney Perl Mongers (if they're still alive?). Friday 6th might be a good time. xfire suggests talk at UTS at 6:30pm-8:20pm, then 9pm Ghangis Kahn (near Town Hall) Holy Wars Possible: file systems, MTAs, DJB supporters vs the world, etc "PubFest" Excessively social event Pub debates (rants / holy wars) Trivia quiz vi vs emacs pool comp Drinking game? Web Cabal Meet at Craige's office (city) sometime next week. Check day/time with Craige. Other Been complaints of disruptions during talks. We should decide which 2 of us are running the meeting (for our own coordination) and they should endevour to "neutralise disruptive elements". Urn: key is now with Tim Bayfield. Urn is now(?) level 6 engineering somewhere.. Gus to talk to Tim and sort out latest arrangements. Angus Lees Last modified: Tue Jun 12 11:33:41 EST 2001
