[SLUG] djbdns opinions?
I've been looking at DJ Bernstein's djbdns server at http://cr.yp.to/djbdns.html. I'm thinking of using it instead of bind9; just wondering if anyone has any experiences with using it, and opinions (positive or negative). As a background, I help (or maybe hinder :) ) the administration of a bind server that primaries and secondaries about 25 zones. Maintaining it is tedious and error prone, and one of the other administrators is looking at writing a script to automate the admin. I'm thinking it may be easier on djbdns, given the much simpler layout of the config/zone files. Not to mention improved security... I also use DJB's qmail and ucspi-tcp, both of which I like. -- Sonia. Today's random Debian Linux package = libguppi16 .

That said, I'm really impressed with djbdns (and dnscachx which goes with it). It's a bit of a learning curve as is usual with DJB's stuff (what is it with that guy compulsively making hard to use software?) but the fact that it automatically generates the PTR records, for example, is terrific.

It's a bit of a learning curve as is usual with DJB's stuff (what is it with that guy compulsively making hard to use software?) but the fact that it automatically generates the PTR records, for example, is terrific. I reckon almost the opposite is true - BIND is so *ugly* to work with that it screws up your intuitions about dns and how it should work (e.g. djbdns decoupling zone serving - tinydns - from caching - dnscache - seems really weird at first, but after a while it's obviously The Right Thing to do). I seem to recall that it either a) has issues with, or b) doesn't do, zone transfers. I'm probably wrong, but you might want to check. I think it does support bind-style zone transfers, but you have to run a separate daemon - axfrdns - and is discouraged unless you really have to interface with bind servers (for hosting, not caching, of course). If you're running djbdns on both primaries and secondaries djb recommends you use something tried-and-true like scp or rsync to transfer your zone files. Hope that helps.

[SLUG] kernel tips...
Just reading /. and picked this up. Sure I have seen it before but thought it was worthwhile repeating: By the way, it's more than just rebooting you can do this way. During a lockup, you can sync your disks (alt+print screen+s), unmount them (alt+print screen+u), and kill everything on the current virtual console (for example X) with (alt+print screen+k). This is useful when you are running with less than stable drivers, X11-setups etc, but I would not recommend it instead of trying to get to the bottom of the stability problem. -- Thanks KenF OpenOffice.org developer -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Still trying to copy a disk...
I suggest: 1) Try the command I posted. 2) See if it's ok. 3) Expand the partitions. I have Partition Magic, but I believe there's a free software tool to do this as well. Keep your boot disk handy so you can run lilo or fiddle with grub (I don't think you have to). Perhaps it works fine.

Re: [SLUG] cable and optusnet
Hi John, Welcome to the wonderful world of linux. I use mandrake but don't use optus cable- so i can't tell you exactly what to put in there. Mandrake 9.1 has a 'Control Centre' which by default can be found in the 'start' menu of KDE or Gnome or by typing 'DrakConf' in a terminal. Once launched, there is a 'Network Internet' tab on the left hand side of the control surface window- once clicked this reveals the 'DrakConnect' application/utility- this is where you setup your internet, there is a wizard which can guide you through the process of setting up the net. You might have to choose 'expert mode' if the auto detect doesn't work. Sorry for only taking you halfway there- but i really don't know what to put in for optus.

If you have a 'foreign' mail system behind postfix, you can do this by syncing user lists to a file or - a far better alternative - by using LDAP.

One other config I want to add is if an email is to a particular address, I want it to deny the email BEFORE any data is received. We get approx 200 spam emails a day that are to two employees that no longer work here. Does anyone have any clues on how I could do this?

Just thought I'd ask before trying various google searches. {:-).
Have you ever looked at this one?
http://manhattan.sourceforge.net/
Been using this since it's first comming into play a couple of years ago
and Has ONLY got better ever since.
Runs very well and is very easy for teachers/instructors to use without
great amounts of training.

Re: [SLUG] Blocking TO: email Address
I guess the other thing you can do is check your system against open relays. With postfix you can use body_checks and header_checks -- Regards, Kevin Saenz Spinaweb I.T consultants Ph: 02 4620 5130 Fax: 02 4625 9243 Mobile: 0418455661 Web: http://www.spinaweb.com.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Blocking TO: email Address
quote who=Kevin Saenz With postfix you can use body_checks and header_checks But this is a really slow way of doing it, and will only check what's in the actual email header/body text, not the envelope. - Jeff -- Come to gnome.conf.au 2004! http://www.gnome.org/~jdub/2004/gnome.conf.au/ Of course i can see iso-8859-1 characters, I'm French. - Christian Marillat -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
RE: [SLUG] Internet training software
You might find it worth talking to Geoffrey from Granville TAFE, the guy that runs the linux courses. I just went through the basic course which used moodle.
