Re: [SLUG] t/s dns name resolution, lack of
Hi Voytek, Sounds like a typical Telstra Level 1 drone attended to your call and was less than fully useful. This is an interesting problem. All of the root-servers successfully refer queries to the .pl top level servers. All of the .pl top level servers successfully refer queries to the correct DNS server for this domain. All of the correct DNS servers are answering for www.gazetaprawna.pl. So, with the exception of Telstra and Pacific (and maybe others we haven't found yet) the DNS systems for gazetaprawna.pl are working well. I've tested half a dozen standard DNS servers using the usual root.hints etc and they all resolve the name successfully. Without access to Telstra's configuration, logs or servers its difficult to see why their name servers are failing on this domain. Options are: *) Change your DNS server setting on your workstations OR add an an entry for www.gazetaprawna.pl into their hosts file(s). This is only a workaround but its probably the easiest way to get it working in the short term. There are other workarounds available depending on your client's network configuration - do they have their own DNS server? *) Get back on to Telstra, try and get through to their DNS people (tell the drone that this is a more complicated DNS server problem and should be escalated to the right people) *) Make contact with gazetaprawna.pl - they might help put some pressure on Telstra - and there is an outside chance that Gazetaprawna are intentionally blocking the Telstra nameservers. *) Find a Pacific Internet customer and log a fault under their name - Pacific are usually miles ahead of Telstra for tech support.

Re: [SLUG] Simple and reliable home folder encryption for Ubuntu 6.10

I realise there are vulnerabilities associated with not encrypting the whole disk, but I'm willing to cope with a lower level of protection as I'm more concerned about accidental loss or casual theft, rather than a targetted attack. I've spent some time looking up encryption and there doesn't seem to be a shortage of choice. I'm looking for a recommendation on a method that favours simplicity and reliability (performance is not a major concern). If you distribution ships pam_mount then it and dm_crypt work well together to encrypt /home/$USER. I use it and it just works. If you have a machine used mainly by you, then you can use a real/LVM partition rather than a loopback filesystem as the dm_crypt storage. This takes out a lot of the configuration complexity. If you use LVM then you needn't fret about getting the partition size wrong (although growing the encrypted file system is more work than it should be). You should also use dm_crypt to encrypt the swap partition, or dd /dev/random into swap as part of your shutdown. Bloody annoyingly the Linux suspend-to-disk has no option to send the suspended memory through encryption before it stores it to disk. So you can't use suspend and stay safe if someone nicks your laptop. -- Glen Turner Tel: (08) 8303 3936 or +61 8 8303 3936 Australia's Academic Research Network www.aarnet.edu.au -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Your router is supplying its address as the DNS server in the DHCP response as it intends to do DNS forwarding. Configure your router with the ISP's domain name servers (although it probably got those from its own DHCP on the ADSL interface) and let the router forward your DNS queries to your ISP. Your router does DNS forwarding as it's a nice way to do firewall traversal for DNS packets and is much more secure than letting DNS queries simply go through a firewall (that is, you can regard the DNS forwarders as an application-specific firewall for DNS and it can filter more attacks than something that simply NATs packets). Some routers' DNS forwarders will also do an amount of DNS caching and this can significantly improve performance if the hosts do no caching of their own (and many hosts don't, see nscd on Linux). Better to do that then use dhclient.conf, since then your laptop will work elsewhere (your ISP's DNS servers should not answer queries sent to it from outside the ISP). -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Re: [SLUG] SNAT and Masquerading
http://lists.debian.org/debian-firewall/2002/02/msg00020.html MASQUERADE is intended for use with dynamic addresses. The other thing that it does differently is that if the link goes down, entries in the nat table will be dropped with MASQUERADE. If you're using SNAT, the entries stay in the table in case the link comes back up momentarily. This makes sense for MASQUERADE, because when the link comes back up, the address will (could) be different anyway, so the connections won't ever be resumed.

[SLUG] kernel question: two i840 io controllers?
I have a (circa 2000) motherboard which has two i840 i/o controllers, to interleave memory accesses and thus increase memory bandwidth. It also has two CPUs. Looking at drivers/char/agp/intel-agp.c it appears that both i840 get initialized - the second one entirely by accident - to be exactly the same. Result: under moderate load DMA often hangs the machine, and running under SMP, DMA hangs the machine before init is started. Does anyone know of a patch to cope with motherboards like this? Google reveals numerous folks with these mobos, and no clue that it's the dual i840s causing the problem, and a dearth of answers. Nothing in LKML archives, neither signal nor noise. Apparently NetBSD added a fix for boards like these a while back. -- Regards Peter Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] /\/\*http://www.canb.auug.org.au/~millerp/ PGP public key ID: 1024D/D0EDB64D fingerprint = AD0A C5DF C426 4F03 5D53 2BDB 18D8 A4E2 D0ED B64D See http://www.keyserver.net or any PGP keyserver for public key. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
