[SLUG] ipchains
hi all, I have started setting up my firewall and have run into trouble with DNS lookups. I beleive that I have enabled DNS out but the log file says that I am denying it. The ISP's DNS servers are at 203.13.174.1 and 203.13.174.15. All the requests for DNS Lookups are coming from squid on port 1032 and going to port 53 on the ISP's end. What have I missed?? regards, Linz Chain output (policy DENY: 1118 packets, 301676 bytes): pkts bytes target prot opttosa tosx ifname mark outsize source destination ports 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- 0xFF 0x00 ppp+ anywhere 0.0.0.0 any -> 0:www 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- 0xFF 0x00 anyanywhere 203.41.12.50 any -> 0:pop-3 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- 0xFF 0x00 any 203.41.12.50 anywhere 0:pop-3 -> any 228 16513 ACCEPT tcp -- 0xFF 0x00 ppp+ anywhere 203.13.174.107any -> 0:webcache 7 659 ACCEPT udp -- 0xFF 0x00 ppp+ anywhere 203.13.174.107any -> 0:icp 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- 0xFF 0x00 anyanywhere 203.13.174.15 any -> 0:domain 0 0 ACCEPT tcp -- 0xFF 0x00 anyanywhere 203.13.174.1 any -> 0:domain 0 0 ACCEPT all -- 0xFF 0x00 eth0 192.168.1.0/24 eric.wdbc n/a 79 11591 ACCEPT all -- 0xFF 0x00 eth0 eric.wdbc 192.168.1.0/24n/a 12 1008 ACCEPT icmp -- 0xFF 0x00 anyanywhere anywhere any -> any 826 373K ACCEPT all -- 0xFF 0x00 lo anywhere anywhere n/a 641 44366 DENY all l- 0xFF 0x00 anyanywhere anywhere n/a Aug 29 12:10:22 eric kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=17 203.57.114.176:1031 203.13.174.1:53 L=73 S=0x00 I=3144 F=0x T=64 (#12) Aug 29 12:10:22 eric kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=17 203.57.114.176:1031 203.13.174.15:53 L=73 S=0x00 I=3145 F=0x T=64 (#12) Aug 29 12:10:22 eric kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=17 203.57.114.176:1031 203.13.174.1:53 L=72 S=0x00 I=3146 F=0x T=64 (#12) Aug 29 12:10:22 eric kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=17 203.57.114.176:1031 203.13.174.15:53 L=72 S=0x00 I=3147 F=0x T=64 (#12) Aug 29 12:10:22 eric kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=17 203.57.114.176:1031 203.13.174.1:53 L=71 S=0x00 I=3148 F=0x T=64 (#12) Aug 29 12:10:22 eric kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=17 203.57.114.176:1031 203.13.174.15:53 L=71 S=0x00 I=3149 F=0x T=64 (#12) Aug 29 12:10:22 eric kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=17 203.57.114.176:1031 203.13.174.1:53 L=70 S=0x00 I=3150 F=0x T=64 (#12) Aug 29 12:10:22 eric kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=17 203.57.114.176:1031 203.13.174.15:53 L=70 S=0x00 I=3151 F=0x T=64 (#12) Aug 29 12:10:22 eric kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=17 203.57.114.176:1031 203.13.174.1:53 L=70 S=0x00 I=3152 F=0x T=64 (#12) Aug 29 12:10:22 eric kernel: Packet log: output DENY ppp0 PROTO=17 203.57.114.176:1031 203.13.174.15:53 L=70 S=0x00 I=3153 F=0x T=64 (#12)
Re: [SLUG] Indenting shell scripts under vim

Not sure, but probably related to... > b) How do I correct it? :set ai The colon tells vi(m) that you're about to give it a non-editing command. "set" (can be abbreviated to "se", for the impatient like me) tells it you want to set a vim-environment variable "ai" is short for "auto-indent" You can, if you wish, use the full version of the variable name in your .vimrc file, to save you scratching your head later and wondering what that cryptic command does.

Re: [SLUG] Linux Partition Resize
> Uh.. one of the new partitions will house Rh8.0 > and another will be win2k. Please do suggest > things I must be on the lookout for (particularly > with win2k around - eg grub conflicts etc). Repeating what I've been told: Windows apparently has the endearing habit of assuming it'll be the only OS on the machine, and dumps its own bootloader onto the MBR with that assumption operating. If you're planning to add RH8 on a third partition, it would make sense to do that last. It's less arrogant, and willingly adds any other OSes it finds into the bootloader config. That way, you'll get all three installs selectable at boot. I'll second the advice about having a rescue disk handy, though :) I'll re-emphasise that this is hearsay, as I haven't dual-booted since about 1998, and then only to add Linux onto a shiny new box. Hope this helps. -- Cheers, James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Paramatta would be good. Not sure how close it qualifies to North Sydny, but my employer (large, faceless corporate monolith-type) uses space in a nice big facility in West Pennant Hills.

Jon Teh was right - it's IBM. I wasn't able to get any details on pricing, so I can only suggest calling them directly. > I'm helping out with a group which is providing mostly web and mail > services for a bunch of community and activist organisations. They need > to move their main server and are looking at options of where to move to. If they're not overly concerned about being in the middle of Sydney, Global Switch's colo facility may be worth a try. I had a look around their building while it was being built, and it looked OK to my relatively untrained eye. One interesting feature was their "kinetic interim power supply" (or terms to that effect) - a multi-ton concrete cylinder which is kept spinning at some intimidating rate. When the power supply fails, its motor turns into a generator which supplies current until the UPS batteries and/or generators take over. -- Cheers, James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Connecting a Mac to a Linux box masquerading a ppp0 connection
> I want to set up the old Mac PPC to access the internet (dial-up) through > the Linux box. Where do I start reading? Terse version: man pppd man wvdial man minicom man iptables Slightly more verbose version: pppd is the point-to-point protocol daemon, which can be started manually via minicom or the like, or can be set up in dial-on-demand mode, to automatically connect when internet-bound packets are received, and then (optionally) log off again after a specified period of inactivity. wvdial is a well-regarded programme for driving pppd. I've never used it myself, but it's certainly recommended often enough. iptables takes care of two jobs for you: firewalling, and masquerading. I can assure you it does a good job of both. -- Hoping this helps, James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

Re: [SLUG] Xine is AWOL
> Hi all, Hi there, > Installed Xine, but can't find it. I have been searching for the ".exe" > for xine. You'll be out of luck, then. Linux, like all other forms of Unix, doesn't need or use a .exe suffix to identify an executable file. The executable for Xine, as it happens, is generally just called "xine". Most files contain a "magic number" that identifies their type, leaving you free to call them whatever you want. You'll find suffixes here and there, but they're mostly for convenience. > Using Redhat 9.0 (why else would I have to install Xine!) Errm... because you're one of us difficult types that prefer to compile things from source? > Any pointers? Yup. Try "locate xine". locate is a very handy utility; it searches through a database to find files, instead of crunching its way through your entire filesystem. While this is vastly faster (and less noisy), the catch is that the database isn't updated in realtime; instead, a programme called "updatedb" is run every day or so to do that. locate returns everything that contains a matching string, though, so you may find yourself wading through a few screenfuls of results. "locate xine | more" allows you to check it a screenful at a time, if you don't feel like scrolling back up. -- Cheers, James -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] No Keyboard in X
I shutdown on Friday. Came in this morning and fired up. The keyboard won't connect in X, although it does in the console. I can't work it out. Perhaps someone came in and, being baffled by the linux login, decided to muck around in the bios. I've changed a few keyboard settings there (K7), to no effect. I have another installation on a small partition for testing purposes. Strangely the keyboard won't work there either in X. Any suggestions as to possible fixes? Any ideas would be appreciated.

I've tried other distros (Mandrake, Debian and Slackware), but have felt most at home with RH. However, being a fussy git and having taken an interest in trimmming down the bloat that's crept in, I've been driven to developing my own distro based on Linux From Scratch. Periodically discovering that rpm's database had gone and corrupted itself yet again was aggravating, but realising that RH wants all of OpenLDAP installed just to change passwords was the final straw. It's not easy, or quick, but will give me _precisely_ the system I want, with no extra trimmings. Plus, I'm developing a depth of system knowledge whose surface I'd barely scratched in 5 years as a user/tweaker. It helps that the machines in question are my own home boxes, with nobody else relying on them.

I called past eLinux and considered the PCI card, but given the number of variables and obstacles with the static IP account I have with TPG, I pressed on and ended up at the Dick Smith SuperStore in Chatswood, where the D-Link DSL-300G, normally $169 was going for $129 packaged up as an OzEmail starter kit.

[SLUG] Continuation of PPP woes.
G'day all... I'm still having some PPP woes. PPP doesn't always reconnect properly upon reboot - which then causes squid to fall-over - and sometimes PPP falls over by itself and doesn't manage to reconnect. If it was just for me, it'd be ok, as I can fix it - but its for an organisation I volunteer for, so it causes drama when I'm not around and they can't access the internet. I need to create a solution so that it automagically corrects itself, or the fault is prevented from happening. At this stage I'm not sure where the fault lies. (Eg. The line itself, SwiftDSL or our server.) I tried putting "MAXFAIL=0" into the options file for the device which someone else suggested. (Sorry, can't remember who, but thanks for their help.) Unfortunately this has only helped marginally, and the problem persists. Attached is a cut down version of the /var/log/messages file from the machine. (IP addresses have been blanked out.) I've tried to diagnose the fault myself, but I'm not really that au-feaux (sp) with PPP - I'd really appreciate a hand on this one. Many thanks and all the best.

Re: [SLUG] keys for digital signature
> HOw do you go about getting keys for digital signatures? gnupg --keyserver --recv-key Where is usually one of us.wwwkeys.pgp.net, gnv.us.cryptnet.net or us.keyserver.net. I'm sure there are servers in Australia, but I stopped looking after I found a few that tend to do the job between them. One gotcha is that they sometimes want a 0x prefix on the key. I'm too lazy to find out why, and just try it both ways in the hope that one will work. And yes, you can quote me out of context on that :) Sometimes you can download a textfile containing signatures, in which case it's a simple gpg --import /path/to/key If you're using something other than GnuPG, however, I'll bow to the expertise of anybody who knows what they're on about.

Re: [SLUG] good cd burning software?
> any recommendations on a good piece of cd burning software, i'm using > k3b and not liking it very much :( It depends on whether you prefer GUI or CLI.

This probably won't help you much with whatever you're compiling right now, but has long-term benefits: I've gotten into the habit of creating a file called "configure.script", and putting the configure line in there. Remember to set the executable bit (chmod u+x configure.script) and invoke that script. This is something I've learned from running into your exact problem too many times. It's also great for refining the configure arguments when something goes pop partway through the compile. And yes, I even wrote a script to back up all my configure.script files. Saves much time when (re)building machines, as well as when compiling an upgraded version.

Re: [SLUG] A valid analogy.
> >Evolution theory is based on getting better from NON intelligence. > >Intelligence is NOT in the equation. > Oh no. So you're a creationist then? This isn't necessarily implied. It looks to me like he's just distinguishing between biological evolution (as in the Origin of Species etc.) and the process that's producing Linux et al. The key difference is that the biological model assumes almost purely random input, whereas the variations in "software evolution" are the product of intention; they're targeted. Where the important similarity in the patterns of variation lies is that the software process involves many changes by people with greatly varying intentions - and, let's face it, degrees of skill. It's been a while since I've done any statistical work in anger, but I'm pretty sure that the variation to be found in "software evolution," if looked at without regard to its origins, would look very much like noise. That is, close to random, at least over short time-scales. The defining common factor for me, though, is that the key mechanism for both systems is that improvements _tend_ to be retained, and unhelpful aspects _tend_ to be removed. > >>were the fittest and most diverse survive. Typo aside, the latter assertion is an exaggeration. Too much diversity in software results in incompatibility; too much in a living species results in the inability to breed. The result in both cases is that the population is divided into more than one incompatible sub-groups. Either that or they die out. > >>Were windows has a forced > >>evolutionary development based on what sells software. Much as I hate to admit it, it's worked pretty well in respect of that goal. It could be argued that its evolution has been quite successful to date. Whether it can handle what looks like a coming ice-age is probably a subject for slug-chat.

[SLUG] umask & kde
I'm getting a weird error for users on a kde desktop network. The umask I set in /etc/profiles and /etc/bashrc is not being honoured in the GUI but if I run an xterm and vi a new file for the same user on the same desktop, the umask permissions for the new file are created correctly. I was wondering if kde has it's own umask settings in some obscure config file or its some other network thingo. The other complicating factor is that the client desktop is 'fat client' with autofs enabling nfs shares for their home directory. No clever PAM ldap stuff just straight passwd authentication. Should I be fiddling with NFS mount settings? (They are rw for users).

Re: [SLUG] Re: building pvr
I've got a nova-t on a via 10K. It's a good card, no lockups so far but I still haven't got mythtv going. More a time issue than anything else. You need linuxtv-dvb. I've heard it's built into 2.6 kernel but the media box is a 2.4 kernel - works OK anyway. The nova-t is around $200 with no MPEG decode it that helps. The Via 10K boards have mpeg decoding built in but its a bitch to get going. There is a binary version on Xine that does it. PVRs from my experience suck up a long of time. HTH Stu Michael F wrote: I'd actually recommend going with a DVB-T card. All TV stations now broadcast as an MPEG-2 stream as well as analogue, and the picture quality far exceeds that of any analogue card I've seen. There is zero interference from the internals of the PC. Most cards work well under linux. I've been using the hauppauge nova-t card for a while in a remote (> 10,000km) box, and have never had a fault with it, even though i record shows almost daily. I am either going to get the nova-t or the visionplus, but still very undecided. I guess I will have to do more research. What distribution do you run on your linux machine acting as the PVR? Can those who have a working unit point me to some docs to read up on it and also maybe lead me to several applications used on the machine acting as the PVR etc. I've got a spare Celeron 2.4Ghz machine here and hey if I get either pci card, might put the card in the machine and install linux to experiment myself.

Re: [SLUG] revisiting a hot topic (accounting systems)

For current users of this software you will notice that username and password are displayed as plain text (encryted version) on the http address and bottom panel. Defeats the purpose of having user logging with password to secure the application. I will never use as multi-user financial tool as it is. This is a critical problem with this package.

I've been using SQL-Ledger now for two years (two tax returns). It does the basic double entry accounting perfectly. It's a very active open source project with new releases coming all the time. It does GST very well - albeit with some problems relating to single invoices with mixed taxable/non-taxable items. I get around that without too much hassle, and in any case it's not all that common a situation. It doesn't do depreciation. That's something your accountant does (or yourself if you are smart enough). I highly recommend it. It's not perfect, but it's very good, bug-free and improving constantly. It's better than MYOB (which i used previously) and even if you pay for the support it's cheaper. It's written in Perl/Postgres.

[SLUG] Worst Installer ever!!!
So now I am using Fedora It was a bitch of an install as the Anaconda installer kept on crashing all the time. In the end I had to format my partitions using the Mandriva installer and then switch over to the Fedora installer once formatting was complete, but now that that it is completed I will crack open the champagne. Then I think that It would have been even better if I could have used the Mandriva installer to install Fedora Then I thought why couldn't we have 1 or 2 universal installers which are available on a separate CD/DVD which is pre loaded into the computer and does all the formatting and boot sector configuring, Then after the Universal installer is installed I Load my O/S of choice and the Universal installer will interface with the O/S DVD because on the O/S DVD there is a configuration file which tells the Universal Installer what to do. I am putting this Idea out there in the hope that it is a good and novel idea but I would bet $,1000,000 on that somebody has thought of it before. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
[SLUG] resolv.conf
I wen't to linux.org/lessons and skipped straight to the ADSL section and did exactly what it said including the modification of resolv.conf And everything worked as expected Then when my intenet connection didn't work I checked all the system files I had modified including resolv.conf It seems that some process in my OS has seen fit to change my resolv.conf file in such a way that it points to the gateway at 10.1.1.1 and not to the ISP Nameserver at 202.154.83.53 how can I stop the O/S (Fedora) from getting it's fingers on my resolv.conf file?

[SLUG] IPTABLES rule change to allow interface with AD
We have a server running in a DMZ servicing intranet and extranet. In the past we have blocked all traffic originating on the server from the two internal networks we run (eth1 and eth2) but have accepted traffic coming from the networks outside of the server. Eth0 is the direct connection to the internet and a solid state firewall looks after port redirection to eth0. No traffic is blocked on eth0 so that we can apply patches and updates to the server (Mandriva 2007). The tables below have done the job. We now need to allow access to port 389 (Active Director) only, from the DMZ server to an AD server on eth2. I am no good at this and was wondering if someone could suggest the change/changes to the rules below to allow this to happen. |---| eth2-->-| |---eth0 <--> Internet eth1-->-| | |---| iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -i eth2 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m state --state NEW -i eth1 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth2 -j ACCEPT iptables -A INPUT -i eth1 -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth2 -j DROP iptables -A OUTPUT -o eth1 -j DROP Many thanks in advance.

[SLUG] Network Card On Holidays
My Internet connection has been working fine after following the advice in lesson 17C @ Linux.org but as allways it was too good to last? I had been trying to read my old IDE doze disks for the purpose of data transfer but after I had came into (hardware related) problems I took my doze disks down to the local computer shop for the purpose of data recovery Then when I put my computer back the way it was I tried to access the intenet, so I made changes to the dhcclient script which in turn modeified the resolv.conf file so that the resoolv-conf file held the correct nameservers in it (It woluld have been useful if the dhcclient -script actually did this without user interference) and after lots of mucking arount I realised that Mandriva Linux doesn't recognize my network card and I thouhgt It is really strange as a few days ago Mandriva Linux had no trouble recognising my network card. I also found that there is a graphical screen in which I can choose to make my graphics card active but this doesn't activate my graphics card when I try it. Now I have also installed a lot of updates lately and I am thinking that if I could uninstall some or all of those updates could this help the situation Does anybody have any Ideas? Actually I am wondering if maybe I may have ripped out part of the dhcclient-script that enables the network card to be detected in which case I should ask if somebody could send me a copy Thanks Steve -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] Using Ubuntu in an Internet cafe problems!
Hi all I'm travelling over in Sydney at the moment and have been trying to get my Dell 640m laptop connected to the network in Global Gossip internet cafe in Kings Cross. I'm running Ubuntu 6.06 on it. It connects well when I boot up into Windows XP, everything as it should be. Finds the Global Gossip wireless network, you then open the browser and it defaults to the www.moreways2pay.com website where it asks for your membership details from where you can start using their internet connection. In Ubuntu however it doesn't work, it finds the wireless connection or the hard LAN connection, but never connects to it, I contacted the admin of the cafe and he said he could see my MAC address on the network and that it had been assigned an IP but for some reason it's not connecting properly. Apprently there was someone running Redhat in here before and it was working so it must be possible. If anyone has any thoughts I would really appreciate the help, thanks very much! :) Jim -- 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] eee pc 900 (20080709)
Jacinta,
Apologies for the top posting. For some reason my Evolution mailer refuses
to allow me to reply without locking up so I have had to resort to mail2web.
I am an Asus reseller and have been aggrieved to find that the Linux based
901 is not being imported into Australia, probably because in the scheme of
things, our market is very small. So it's 901 for Windows (with bluetooth
and 12Gb HDD) and 900 for Linux (no bluetooth and 20Gb HDD). I took
delivery of my 900 Linux unit on Monday and I am not disappointed. The
extra ram and HDD is a godsend (4Gb for system and 15Gb for home - 1Gb for
recovery I think). The 9" screen makes all of the difference in the world
in the usability stakes. Microphone in lid beside the webcam and speakers
underneath. Battery lasts at least twice as long as before.
In Oz, we never did see the selection of colours that have been available
(pink, green, blue etc) so I guess we are stuck with whatever Asus
Australia thinks they can sell comfortably.
Regards,
Rick Phillips

Do you know how long? I've spoken to ASUS and they've recommended
retailers who
haven't even heard of the Linux one. Apparently it might not be released in
Australia yet, but ASUS wasn't able to tell me that. I've spent the last
month
looking for someone in Australia selling the 901 with Linux pre-installed
to no
avail.
I could buy it from Hong Kong, but that'll cost me an additional $100AUD
which
seems kind of pointless, seeing as how I can get the Windows 901 already and
just buy an SD card.

RE: [SLUG] Computer Parts
Matt, There IS a HUGE difference between a no-name "eagle" "powerview" and a name brand card eg ASUS card. I went thru 3 TNT/Geforce until learn't my lesson any pruchased a 32 MB Asus 7100 deluxe(mx400) for $225.00 when at the time a 64 MB noname mx 400 was $150.00 The image quality of the ASUS is good (NOT perfect) at high res/refesh 1400 x 1080 @ 85 HZ the no name was blurry mess, while the ASUS is much better. This problem with TNT/Geforce is quite well documented on the net. The problem being with dodgy filters used on VGA output of the cheaper cards. So if you only interested in 1024 and less get the no-name, if you want run decent res + refresh (1280+ @ 85HZ) get a good card. If you get a cheap card make sure you can return if your not satisfied as many of the traders at north rocks won't refund for this sort of thing.

Richard, While I'm not a student, would you clasify a student as 10% of the 'commercial' price? If not the only other classification I see is other, ouch! Another point I'd like to make is if your going to charge $495.00 (just an example I know) per day for the full commercial rate, your not really going to get many "commercial" clients willing to go out to penrith for the training, when they can attend course in town or at worst parramatta. Will the training be backed up with course notes, trainers with training skills etc. This is in general what the more established companies provide. If you are going to charge commercial rates, you will be expected to provide a commercial service. On the other hand if you charged say $295.00, more people would willing to come out to penrith as the discount makes it worth it.

[SLUG] One for the brains trust.
I have a linux firewall on the end of a ppp link to Telstra Direct. It's a Pentium II box, 2.4.19 kernel. Very standard config. The modem 'link' stays 'up'. But there are intermittent 'outages'. Every so often there is an outage of 4 minutes, 57ish seconds. This happens with the following periodicity An outage every eight hours of 4 mins. Then after a few days, outages occur more frequently. Ping times seem pretty long as well in general. I've noticed this on another link using 2.4 kernel with an HDSL link to DavNet. Any clues? Regards & happy pagan festival to all.

Re: [SLUG] One for the brains trust.
Thanks for the suggestions folks! The link is fine now. I took the phone line out of the APC... Yep. Wakko stuff maybe. Mysteries are good. Problems are not. This is both. I am investigating a DSL option. Though for the sake of completeness it would be good to find out what this is/was. My current theory is that the APC is introducing a line voltage drop occasionally. This would have the effect of provoking unpredictable behavior in the modem. The testing of this would be enabled by dumping packets at the Telstra router. I got close to the escalation for this to happen, then found a power cycle of the modem cleared the effect temporarily. Telstra understandably lost interest when this was found. This theory is due to be shot down quickly soon when I see another 4 minute pause! Also, I do not remember seeing power backup on the other link with this problem... With the DSL modems, is there any recommendation for one that will reset when there is a bona-fide line drop? I have found some good looking power cyclers on the web. Most I've found are serial line monitors though Telstra recommend that the modem line could be kept as a second route in case of outage issues. Fair comment I guess. Merry pagan festival to all!

Perhaps the neatest thing available now is sexkbmap which should come with X. You'll need a recent xterm (version 4.1.0 or newer). Get a utf-8 xterm running by calling 'uxterm'.

[SLUG] (?Courier?) IMAP + Postfix
G'day all... I'm wanting to create an IMAP server that will play nicely with postfix, and am currently considering Courier. It's for a small organisation and network, on a RH9 server that does not have development tools installed (no gcc, etc). (FWIW, 900MHz Celeron hardware - not too grunty, especially with Gnome2 running on top of it.) I guess, I'm looking for a lightweight, robust, binary-distributed imap server. Courier looks great, only there isn't any RPMs available for it. I've downloaded the compressed archive for it, and gone to rpmbuild it, however I get these errors: # rpmbuild -ta courier-imap-2.0.0.20030721.tar.bz2 error: Failed build dependencies: openssl-devel is needed by courier-imap-2.0.0.20030721-1.9 gdbm-devel is needed by courier-imap-2.0.0.20030721-1.9 pam-devel is needed by courier-imap-2.0.0.20030721-1.9 fam-devel is needed by courier-imap-2.0.0.20030721-1.9 postgresql-devel is needed by courier-imap-2.0.0.20030721-1.9 openldap-devel is needed by courier-imap-2.0.0.20030721-1.9 mysql-devel is needed by courier-imap-2.0.0.20030721-1.9 openldap-servers is needed by courier-imap-2.0.0.20030721-1.9 Argh! I don't want ldap, mysql, postgresql, fam, gdb, openSSL anyway! I'm worried if I install all those packages just to satisfy dependencies I'll actually have to install a far greater number of packages than the amount listed above. (I'm wanting to keep things compact here.) Any suggestion? I was hoping to go down the Courier+Maildrop+Postfix path, but I'm happy to have alternatives. TIA...

Re: [SLUG] fetchmail and Maildir format - oops!!!
G'day... Procmail is not installed. postfix is configured to handle mail for the domain, and deliver locally. (dovecot handles imap access to the mail.) mailbox_command is not declared in /etc/postfix/main.cf and home_mailbox = Maildir/ (in main.cf) There is no mbox, mail, etc - just Maildir in the users home directory fetchmail does download the messages, but they do not appear in the appropriate users mail. dovecot and postfix are up and running. If I `telnet localhost smtp` and manually send an email to the user - it works. In the meantime, I'm now ensuring I'm using the keep option of fetchmail. (I'm running fetchmail as root, with the user there is user here method.) When I manually call fetchmail (with the keep option) - I can watch it download messages, yet they aren't delivered locally - they just seem to disappear without a trace or log. (Can't see anything in /var/log/messages that refers to fetchmail.) My ***major*** concern is that fetchmail downloaded approx. 40 messages and deleted from the server, without delivering them. (When I was silly enough to run it without the keep option, as daemon earlier.) Is it possible that postfix has these messages stored somewhere? Aah! Help!

Doing the relevant googling and archive searches, I have ended up with two choices: 1. An Asus board with an onboard Realtek 8139. 2. An Aopen board with an onboard Intel 82559. The case I'm going to use requires a half-height NIC which will be another 8139. I noted in my research that the Realtek is not rated very highly for performance but appears well-supported. The Intel 82559 is supposed to be very good for both speed and support but a few notes in linux-kernel August last year suggested problems with 2.4pre recognising onboard variants. There didn't seem to be any followup after that. For background - the addon card would be plugged into the cable modem, the onboard into a 100 switch. I know that the Aopen board would be the better buy but: 1. An additional $100+ 2. The Asus board has a nice connector for a front monitoring panel. Apologies for the long-winded post - I guess my question boils down to: 1. Is anyone having problems with 1 or 2 8139 cards in the same machine? 2. The Intel seems to be a very popular choice - would it be worth investing in (I know worth is relative but the difference is 128meg of ram ). Thanks for your help. Nicholas __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

[SLUG] Ximian Gnome 1.4 Niggle
Hello, Just installed Ximian Gnome 1.4 on my Redhat 7.1 Laptop. While everything installed fine (although it took over 10 hours to download on cable !!!), post installation of have 1 small problem. Ximian defaults to Nautilus, nautilus tho pretty is slw, so I turned it off by going to preferences and unticked the option to have nautilus draw my desktop. So far so good, next time when I reload X, I get the standard desktop and gmc as my filemanager. But there is still a nautilus process running, this process seems to stop me from shutting down gnome, eg the shutdown dialog will not pop-up until I kill the nautilus proccess. My question is where would this nautilus process be started from, and how can I stop it from being loaded. I noticed that when I run gnome as root it doesn't default to nautilus and everything works fine ??

RE: [SLUG] 2 x Mac plus with keyboard and mouse
Terry,
As per: http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/ the answer is no. You need a minimum of a
MC68030 which the Mac Plus isn't (MC68000@8Mhz). This requirment would be because an
MMU is required which the MC68000 doesn't have.

[SLUG] Kernel lockup when ejecting pcmcia card
Hello all, I have a problem on desktop pc which is equipped with a ISA tcic chipset pcmcia reader. PCMCIA starts up fine and recognises cards being inserted etc, but when I eject the card the machine totally locks up, only the reset switch brings it back to life, then I have to cross my fingers a hope that fsck gets thru w/o problems. This problem doesn't occur if i first shutdown pcmcia then eject the card. I have been using this method but sometimes i forget. My system is running rh7.1 with all the latest up2date patches applied (2.4.9) and the latest kernel-pcmcia in rawhide. This problem was also occuring in the stock rh7.1 distro. Does any know what is happening here, I would really love to get pcmcia working properly or moving to a journalling filesystem :), I address in my next post.

[SLUG] ext3 on Redhat 7.1
Hello All, Can someone point me in the right direction to getting EXT3 going on my RH7.1 box. I'd like to get a journaling filesystem because of my pcmcia lockups, (see other msg). Anyway I've been won over by the redhat propaganda about ext3 and I think it the fs for me. So far I've checked beta.redhat.com and that info seems old, dated Oct/2000 plus all the files are for the 2.2 series kernels.
