Re: [SLUG] WHOIS..server.
Chris Back when I was working for a DNS company ( who shall remain nameless ) I had to look into this. Since there are very few whois servers at all in the world, there is no real whois server you can get HOWEVER While I never wrote a whois server ( we just did the web version, not the real one ), I did have to write a whois client ( in Perl ) from scratch, and I can tell you that the whois protocol is EXTREMLY trivial to implement. Really! My guess at the time was that the number of people who needed a whois server was so small, and their needs so specialised, that they probably wrote their own. I implemented the whois client in about 20 lines of Perl, and I imagine you could do a pretty decent job ( subject to load requirements ) of implementing the server in a hundred or so. Of course I still don't recommend Perl for heavily loaded servers, but unless you work for someone pretty big ( bigger than rams :) ), I doubt you need it to stand up to a huge load.

[SLUG] Config-ing named
Howdy Is their a simple way to setup named as a simple name server ? What I mean by this is that I just want named to lookup names for the WIN pc's on my LAN. I managed to do this on my old RH 6.1, but in this new RH 7.1 docos only talk about setting up a whole domain, which is more that I really want to do. In 6.1 I just setup resolve.conf with the IP's of my nearby name servers, and it all worked just fine. In 7.1 it seems that while named is running it won't answer any questions from other PC's on the network... Is this some new security measure ?

It can be done using magic adapters (for the sync signal) and XFree86 (so you have strict timing control). Its nearly impossible any other way. However, it is possible that this model is a multisync monitor (which I suspect it is since I change change resolutions for it on my Indy), in which case you just need a way to change the sync pulse. any slug users running linux on sgi boxes?

Re: [SLUG] text mode newsreader, or a server?
You can redirect connections multiple ways. It really depends on which kernel/distro you are running. I use either ipchains or a stand alone daemon called redir http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/PLD/PLD-1.0/i586/PLD/RPMS/redir-2.2-1.i586.html The binary can be run as a stand-alone daemon, or it can be launched by inetd (or xinetd). I prefer to launch it with inetd. Here is an example from my inetd.conf file: 119 stream tcp nowait root /sbin/redir redir --inetd news.isp.au 119 Here the binary redir is in /sbin/... I am redirecting any traffic from port 119 on my box back out to the internet server news.isp.au on port 119. Notice that you can change the ports. The incoming port does not have to equal the outgoing port.

I've managed to get reasonable performance out of SCO's Tarantella over a dialup (enough to run basic X apps, certainly not Gimp). http://www.tarantella.com/ It's probably overkill for PC Anywhere like tasks however - it's marketed more towards ASPs looking for an easy way to web enable existing apps. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
[SLUG] Apache 1.3 config
OK, this has _got_ to be something simple, but it's got me stuffed.
I've got a dead standard SuSE 7.0 install on my machine, and I simply want
to have it serve web pages to my local LAN.
Apache is installed and working - I can get the SuSE help pages etc - but
stuff me if I can get _anything_ out of any other user pages anywhere.
I get with everything I try
403 Forbidden
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /~dazza on this server.
_
I _know_ it's got to be something simple - but the same error occurs no
matter how I try and access the page {http://localhost/~dazza,
http://192.168.1.1/~dazza etc}, and by every machine on the network.
Before anyone asks - yes, the permissions on the files are correct, and
should allow reading by the web server.
I *think* the relavent part of the apache config is this bit
Directory /home/*/public_html
AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec
Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
/Limit
LimitExcept GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
/LimitExcept
/Directory
Anyone out there give me some pointers as to how in hell I can get this
bloody thing to work? I'd like to be able to do cgi locally as well as
just view pages.
Thanks.

Re: [SLUG] C Programming HELP?
There are a bunch of things you can do to a file but you need only worry about four things: open() open the file close() close the file write() send a byte to the dio ioctl() set directions ect. see README file set the ports to out (using ioctl) and start writing bytes using write() function. Thats all there is to it. The dio48 has 6 ports which are 8 bits wide, hence 8 x 6 = 48. Give a hex number to port and the bits are set to 0 (low) or 1 (high) Geoffrey if you do have the time to look at diotest.c in the near future it would be most appreciated. A few other sluggers have expressed interest in a bit of support, will see what comes up. I have got a week up my sleeve David, Where are you up to? Have you got the kernel module compiled and loaded? If so then the diotest thing shouldn't be to hard to get going. I don't have the interface card that you're using but I have and old 6 port isa card, I may be able to hack the driver to get my card going. btw do you realize that you have an old driver... there is one that is two versions later on the ftp site quoted in the README. You will definitely need it if you run a 2.4 kernel. None of the modules compiles for me today. I'll have a closer look when some spare time comes along. geoffrey -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

~dazza/public_html had the right permissions.

Its already told you where/what you should be looking at. The new X wrappers use /etc/X11/X as a symlink to the correct X server binary to run.

You can correct this by running (as root): cd /etc/X11 ln -s ../../usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 X On older versions of XFree, you'll have to work out what the correct server is, and symlink it instead. C.

Another great night had by all with an added bonus being that no-one lost their pants at pool (although one partnership came close). Steven Kowalik gave a great talk on the how's/why's one should contribute to Debian, followed by an impromptu talk by Angus Lees on building Debian packages properly that blew everyone away.
