RE: [SLUG] Dick Smith internal modem: no carrier, no technicalsupport
I've now tried all sorts of combinations to no avail X1, X2, X3. X4, all do not work. Under XP, I don't need anything -- using Hyperterminal I just say ATDT number and I get my ISP's login prompt. Undex Linux, I say exactly the same thing to minicom, and I get NO CARRIER. Very strange.

Try slipping an X3 into the init string (or the dial string, doesn't really matter which. That tells the modem to not wait for a carrier. X4 will do a blind dial, which you don't want, as X3 waits for about 1 second before dialing. X0 is no dial without carrier and X1 I forget. me previously: X3 doesn't make any difference. Still NO CARRIER. I'm not sure if it is dialling properly. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] server crash - incorrect iptables config possible cause.
G'day all... I've a Mandrake 8.2 server (2.4 kernel) with iptables. The server has had overheating problems in the past. (Replaced the heatsink/fan unit.) The other day it stopped responding after I'd been adjusting the firewalling rules. I couldn't log into the machine at all and it appeared to be running very slowly. At the time I thought this was more overheating problems. I replaced the server relatively quickly, and I've been diagnosing it. I booted the machine using the installer CD witht the rescue option and renamed rc.firewall so that the scripts it contains wouldn't be run. When I rebooted it, I could log in fine.

RE: [SLUG] server crash - incorrect iptables config possible cause.
Unlikely to be anything you did to the software. Most *ix-like operating systems (including Linux) rely entirely on the hardware being in good condition. If you have faulty hardware, you can get unpredictable problems. The only hardware faults that people have written software around are ECC errors, ethernet faults, disk faults and other common problems. Usually if there is a processor fault it is very difficult to handle in software, so instead of panicing or issuing an error message, the machine simply fails to work properly and can hang. Intel hardware usually runs very slowly when it gets hot; it's a hardware feature to stop the silicon melting itself. Some AMD processors can, too (others just cook themselves). I had some really bizarre faults on my home system last January where it would simply hang, no interrupts, no nuttin'. It turned out that I needed to re-seat the AMD Coppermine processor in its socket. After that, all has been OK. Hope that helps, Jill. -- Jill Rowling, System Administrator Eng.

Hi again, Additionally, I noticed that when, on the new machine I was setting up, I set the default policy to drop for the filter INPUT then it would appear to hang when running `iptables -L`. I had to press ^C and remove the rule. I find if I replace rc.firewall (which now has defunct references to eth1 as the card is now in the other box it was replaced by) I can't log in again.

[SLUG] old dell laptop by any chance?
My Inspiron 3700 recently took some water damage, tis about 3 years old now, and Dell want to take my first-born (in advance) to repair it :-) The MB is fried, every thing else looks fine.. So does anyone or indeed anyone's company have old Inspiron or Latitude of this vintage that are fit for the skip but may have a working motherboard?, PII Celeron 433 is my one, but I think dell have pretty much used the same MB for a large amount of the Inspiron 3xxx, 4xxx and some of the latitude range... Maybe someone has one where an axe fell through the flat panel or the hard drive blew up but the motherboard is still fine?? Just thought I'd ask here anyways, I'll probably pick up a second hand one on ebay but I'll then have two of everything... :-0 Dave. -- David Airlie, Software Engineer http://www.skynet.ie/~airlied / [EMAIL PROTECTED] pam_smb / Linux DecStation / Linux VAX / ILUG person -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
RE: [SLUG] server crash - incorrect iptables config possiblecaus e.
iptables -L is to list all iptables rules now the problem you get is that rather than listing ip addresses as default it wants to list DNS entries resulting in the hanging you experienced. So the best suggestion is to use iptables -L -n Hi again, Additionally, I noticed that when, on the new machine I was setting up, I set the default policy to drop for the filter INPUT then it would appear to hang when running `iptables -L`.

RE: [SLUG] Dick Smith internal modem: no carrier, no technicalsupport
Martin, Do you know what type of modem it is? Is it a connexant? Check out `cat /proc/pci` and also under windows... Often internal modems need special drivers to function under Linux. All the best... Mike --- Michael S. E.

Try slipping an X3 into the init string (or the dial string, doesn't really matter which. That tells the modem to not wait for a carrier. X4 will do a blind dial, which you don't want, as X3 waits for about 1 second before dialing. X0 is no dial without carrier and X1 I forget. me previously: X3 doesn't make any difference.

[SLUG] Debian: IPSec not supported by kernel.
G'day all... I'm using Debian Woody unstable with Kernel 2.4 After doing an `apt-get install freeswan` I received a few configuration screens and then: Selecting previously deselected package freeswan.

Re: [SLUG] Debian: IPSec not supported by kernel.
quote who=[EMAIL PROTECTED] Drats.. I didn't configure the kernel to support IPSec... How do I go about doing this now? Install kernel-patch-freeswan and rebuild your kernel with kernel-package, making sure you tell it to include freeswan. I'm throwing you into the deep end there, but have a look around, and if you have any problems, fire them off to the list. :-) - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2004: Adelaide, Australia http://lca2004.linux.org.au/ Not only that, but Google is fast.

[SLUG] simple firewall
Howdy all, having a spot of bother with this fw I would normally take this to the netfilter n00bs list but cannot seem to get listed :/ anywho...
