The only thing I can think of that *might* work is to tell squid to send all requests to its parent cache: cache_peer your.parent.cache parent 3128 3130 no-query acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 never_direct allow all I don't know if that's enough to stop it from doing lookups before forwarding the requests though. Give it a try and see what happens - I'd test it myself if I had a machine to play with, but I can't play with the squid config here at work without people getting upset :-p You'll also want to start squid with `-D' to disable its initial dns tests.

RE: [SLUG] SAMBA
Greetings,When you specify "" in the net use command, are you specifyinga netbios name, or an IP address? I temporarily used your configuration on my samba server, and when Itried to connect to it from windows 2k by specifying the netbios name,windows simply refused to acknowlege that the linux box existed.I then specified the ip address in the net use command, and it workedperfectly.I think that this may be the answer to your problem!All the best,Lindsay

[SLUG] squid without DNS?
(Apologies if you've seen this on the squid list, but I'm a bit desperate) Is it possible to use squid without using DNS at all? I am using single parent cache, and I don't need names in my log files. So I don't think I _need_ DNS, but I can't see if there is way to tell squid not to do any dns lookups at all.

In the startup directories (/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ in my case) the original files were: S10network S24pcmcia I changed S24 to S07 so that the pcmcia stuff is executed before the network stuff.

Hi John, First of all, you should probably send plain-text mail to this list -- a lot of people can't read html-mail. Now, your modem, what type of modem is it? If it's a so-called "winmodem", there's a non-trivial chance that it may not work with linux. If it's a "normal" modem it can probably be coerced to work. All the different distributions have different mechanisms for configuring them though, so you'll need to let us know what you're using (mandrake, redhat etc) If you're talking about the mandrake internet connection wizard, you'll probably have to manually select the modem that you want to use.

Take at look at ifhp on the LPRNG website. You can then use options with lpr I think it's -Z inlower,duplex etc... and it all just works.

Re: [SLUG] how do i detect my modemn
John First: what type (brand and model) of modem is it? Second: what version of linux are you using? There are a few types of modems out there that just dont work with linux, a few others that work after you do all sorts of painful and arcane stuff, and a lot that work without any trouble at all. One of the more common problems you can encounter is if you are using a softmodem (aka winmodem). These beasties require drivers tailored to the hardware to work. Some manufacturers have made drivers available, some have been puzzled out by third parties, and others just don't exist. To help people here answer your question, you need to give us some more info. My guess is that you have a winmodem, and some pretty specific searching will be needed to find out if this one will run under linux.

Re: [SLUG] SAMBA
Hi Dan, Ok... If its a share you want to export *from* your MS Windows box *to* your GNU/Linux box, then you do not need to set up your smb.conf on your GNU/Linux box. I believe you need an entry in your fstab using smbfs... Check out the tools for mounting a windows share in your samba package. If you want to export a share from GNU/Linux to MS Windows then you need to set up your smb.conf correctly. You want at least a default share. You can use tools such as SWAT and Webmin to set up your smb.conf Please note that "share" is an abstraction, and should be substituted with an actual share name, not used directly. For example, if you've got a directory on you linux box under /home/samba/linux_stuff that you want to share with your Windows box you would have a section like: ---START--- [linux_stuff] comment = Stuff on my GNU/Linux server path = /home/samba/linux_stuff browseable = yes writeable = yes create mask = 7775 directory mask = 7775 ---END--- as part of your smb.conf >From your windows box, you would mount it as your F: drive via: net use f: \\\linux_stuff It takes a little while to get your head around Samba, but it's worth it - just need to keep reading documentation, and keep it simple for yourself.

I have tried: net use f: \\\share and this gives: "The remote computer is not available" I have the following in my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = Workgroup server string = Linux Box interfaces = 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0 security = share encrypt passwords = yes [temp] path = /tmp read only = no guest ok = yes I am using samba version 2.2.0 on SuSE 7.2 Can anyone help me work out why I cannot see the linuc box from Windows 2000?

[SLUG] Knoppix and Ispell and Emacs
Hi, I have a friend who just got a Knoppix CD because she needs to edit LaTex files with Emacs. She's a Windows user. The problem is that the Ispell on the Knoppix CD seems to be German only - even with the option 'lang=us'. It throws the error 'can't find file american.hash' I can only find (-iname '*.hash') a deutch.hash file on the CD. Can anyone think of a work around to get English Ispell under Knoppix? Right now she's using Windows XEmacs (no Ispell) and I hesitate to recommend doing a full Linux installation just to get a spell-checker. thanks mark = mark a. bell http://www.users.bigpond.com/m487396 __ Do you Yahoo!?

[SLUG] Netmask calculations.
G'day all... I'm wanting to restrict web access, using squid's acl, on two machines in the local network here - 192.168.100.20 and 192.168.100.30 My theory on netmask addresses is poor, and I've been specifying the addresses and netmask as 192.168.100.20-192.168.100.30/255.255.255.0 This is wrong - squid reports the error: aclParseIpData: WARNING: Netmask masks away part of the specified IP in '192.168.100.20-192.168.100.30/255.255.255.0' The result is that this blocks more than the intended IP addresses. :( What should I be specifying as a netmask, and how do I calculate appropriate netmasks. Any help, pointers, references appreciated. TIA Mike --- Michael S. E.

Look at the fwvwm (?) window manager or similar. These and earlier WM
were very light impact. Try an installation of RH5.0 epoch.
But, a cheap P200+ would be a good idea. I occassionally run t on a
P100 and it is painfully slow.

Re: [SLUG] recommend
Is it really worth doing? I picked up a PII-350 with 128MB, 3GB HD (no monitor, keyboard mouse) via this list for $135. (Thanks richard). With a low resource window manager and browser this sort of system would be quite usable for only a little outlay. The frustrations the 486 would give the end user are just not worth it.

It also has the beneficial side effect of not causing shell scripts to fail

Re: [SLUG] Backup System
I've just been involved in a network project that's considered backups around the 300GB mark. In the end we decided it was too expensive to setup and run, and led us to review exactly what data we need to back up. This is the smartest thing to do in any backup situation, given the ratio of backup media cost (per GB) versus that of disks (per GB). No company produces a system where you can get 1TB onto a single tape, though several companies market libraries which allow you to get 1TB (or more) onto multiple tapes. These are becoming more mainstream, and more affordable, from what I have seen, with the introduction of LTO tapes (100GB native; and Ultrium2 (200GB native (I *think*) is just around the corner) and SDLT (160GB native, in it's largest capacity). Quantum, in particularly produces some nice looking library solutions in the 1-40TB range. The ATL superloader with the 16 Tape SDLT320 option looks nice, with a 2.56TB native capacity. Things scale from there dramatically. The higher end of the market is your storageteks and the like, which'll charge you a bunch for the system, probably starting around the $100,000 mark, but perhaps provide a more integrated solution. Expect to pay ALOT of money (at minimum, $30,000) for a library, and then more for the media. Media is typically $1-200 per tape, so if you need to keep it for three years, you'll be paying loads for that too. Finally, don't underestimate the importance of your backup / storage management software. A good piece of software is a must. This will cost a pretty penny too (A bog standard version of CA ArcServe 9 is ~$3000, without the extra options needed for a tape library of the size you talk about). My suggestion is like all the others. Hire a specialist.

This data needs to be kept safe for about 3 years. And there after it will be the same every year or potentially increase by about 30% or more. I thought of tapes, is there ( Market) tapes that can hold at least 1 TerraB? What is the highest available? Also thought of hot swappable SCSI drives? is there any IDE drives that are also hot swappable? This last one seems to be cheaper than SCSI. Can you guys please suggest me a couple options that are upgradable? and maybe a bold figure as to how much will I be looking at? Thanking you in advice.
