Re: [SLUG] firewall

2002-12-23 Thread Kevin Saenz
Linux is Linux,
For my firewall I have used RedHat, now I am using Mandrake,
probably move to another distro later on.
As for the firewall you only have one free option, iptables
that comes standard in the kernel.

There are a few guis that will help in building a firewall,
also there are a few tutorials that will help you understand
how iptables work

Re: [SLUG] Live! ALSA under Woody

I'm using OSS on sid / Linux 2.4.x. I've tried ALSA a couple of times, but
haven't had much success. (That said, it worked great when I tried out Linux
2.5.x a little while ago.)

Given that multiple programs can open /dev/dsp for writing with the SBLive,
and I don't require MIDI or anything zany, OSS is fine. It just works. ;-)

[SLUG] Palm III replacement, Linux friendly?

2002-12-23 Thread savanna
My Palm 3 is on it's last legs, so I'm looking for a replacement
handheld device.

Can anyone recommend a Linux friendly device? (Palm or otherwise). The
one app I need is something that does encryption, so I can encrypt all
my PINS, passwords etc & carry them around with me, and also synchronise
and edit them on my desktop.

On my Palm 3, I currently use Secret (http://linkesoft.com) - sort of
supported on Linux, but not totally - I need to use Windows to edit the
contents on a desktop.

Any help appreciated.

Re: [SLUG] firewall

2002-12-23 Thread Guy Ellis
Hi Gaza,

Try IPCop it's great. I'm using 0.1.2 and have used 0.1.1 prior to that for 
nearly a year

www.ipcop.org

v0.1.2beta = 2.2.23
v0.1.3alpha = 2.4.20

It's small enough to fit on a Compact Flash, and includes support for 3 
PSTN, ISDN, Ethernet and PCI ADSL. For ADSL Bridged ethernet, PPPoE and 
PPPoA are supported.
0.1.2 even includes ISDN DOV support. You can have up to 3 interfaces 
(Green, Red and Orange), it also includes a proxy cache plus IPSec.

Cheers,

 - Guy.

Check out Smoothwall www.smoothwall.org - a firewall appliance distro.
Doesn't require much linux experience to run. There's been some ruckus
around Smoothwall (search google), so some of the developers have
released a branch called IPcop.

I used Smoothwall & really like it. Check out quarkav.com for additional
doco.

[SLUG] Live! ALSA under Woody

2002-12-23 Thread Bruce Badger
I asked a while ago what sound system people recommended for Woody, and 
answer seemed to be ALSA.  Well, I've not been able to get it going - 
this after spending much time reading FAQs and being on the  Creative 
IRC channel. :-(

Does anyone have ALSA working under Woody with a emu10k1 card (SB Live!)?

If not, is everyone using OSS?

... or is it just me

I run a single floppy distribution on an old 486.

Bering from http://leaf.sourceforge.net/

It is easy to use and configure, uses Shorewall to configure iptables.

Re: [SLUG] Need Help with SiS 900-based ethernet card

On Mon, 2002-12-23 at 01:02, Dennis M. Gray wrote:

> Can anyone direct me to some source of help?

I don't know if redhat is still shipping with linuxconf - but it lets
you specify a driver for your ethernet card. If it does still ship, just
specify sis900 and it "should work".

If you don't have linuxconf, the change it will make is to add a line
like this to /etc/modules.conf:

alias eth0 sis900

Try that and then ifconfig it and it might just work. (though once the
driver is working, it's probably as easy to use the redhat clicky
programs to set this up so it starts when you boot the machine).

HTH
