[SLUG] Stupid sendmail backup mx problem
Howdy Folks, Looking for a little advice on sendmail config.. Say we have the following domain MX entries: inracing.com.au. 2592 IN MX 10 mail.isa.net.au.inracing.com.au. 2592 IN MX 20 mx2.isa.net.au.inracing.com.au. 2592 IN MX 200 mx2.vector.net.au. Normally that all works perfectly, but say mail.isa.net.au stops accepting mail for 20 minutes because a client's nightly bulk-mail-newsletter run is going out, and the server load just hit 20 (god i love the way sendmail can't handle accepting all those mails from obtuse smtpd ;), so smtpd has stopped accepting connections. So someone tries to email [EMAIL PROTECTED], mail.isa.net.au is issuing 4xx temporary reject's, so their mailserver delivers it to mx2.isa.net.au. So far so good.. Then mx2.isa.net.au goes to deliver it to mail.isa.net.au, gets a temporary reject, and instead of going 'oh, theres no lower valued mailservers than me for this domain, ill just queue it for a while', as I would expect, it's delivering it to a higher valued mailserver, mx2.vector.net.au. mx2.vector gets the email, tries mail.isa, gets a temporary reject, and passes it on to mx2.isa. You get where I'm going with this right? Yep, 5 minutes later [EMAIL PROTECTED] gets a 'too many hops' email because the message is just bouncing between the two secondaries.. Is my understanding of the basics of MX preferences wrong (aka a mailserver listed at 20 isn't supposed to deliver to a mailserver listed as 200..), or have I messed up the config on mx2.isa ? Things are made a little more complicated by the fact that the three servers are running different software... vector run postfix, mx2.isa runs stock sendmail, mail.isa runs obtuse smtpd as the MTA, passing messages into sendmail as the MDA. Thanks for yer thoughts :) Cheers, Damien --Damien Gardner JnrVK2TDG. Dip EE.

Re: [SLUG] Dial-in Server
You have a couple of things to look at.. 1) (most fundamental) do you have ip forwarding enabled on the dialin server? if you don't have IP forwarding enabled you're not going to have any packets going out past the dialin server (which might explain you being able to get to the server itself, but not get past it..) (echo 1 /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward - your distro probably has a setting in an rc file somewhere to have this enabled on boot..- in debian it's /etc/network/options) 2) You mention masquerading - when you dial in, are you getting a real IP address, or are you getting a private IP, and then needing ipmasq to get out to internet? If you're needing ipmasq, you will probably need to put something in your ip-up script to add the ipmasq rules for the ppp interface when it comes up..? 3) re DNS.. in your /etc/ppp/options, you'll have some ms-dns lines - put your DNS server ip's into these, and they'll be supplied to your dialled-in windows box on connect.. (This is your local dns server IP if you run one, otherwise your upstreams.. Just some thoughts to check :) Cheers, Damien -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Debian and Paper types?
Hey all, Stupid question time - a few months ago, I did a dist-upgrade on all our workstations (running woody..), and just hit enter on the default when a debconf screen came up asking me to select paper type for printing.. Well it seems that it's now defaulting to Letter instead of A4, so all of our linux workstations (the managers are still using windows.. - but 30 to 4 is still pretty good win/lin ratio ;) are printing to letter paper instead of A4 which is causing big queue's at the printer with it wanting confirmation that we want to print Letter.. I've dpkg-reconfigure'd just about every package I can find that has anything to do with printing, but I can't find the one that controls paper type, and I don't seem to be getting the right keywords in google, cause I just keep getting garbage.. Does anyone happen to know which package it is that controls the paper type used to print? It doesn't seem to be defined in lprng.conf or printcap (we're printing to a HP LJ4050N via tcp..), so I'm totally at a loss to figure out how to change the damned paper type :( Any help muchly appreciated.. :) Cheers, DG -- Damien Gardner Jnr - Dip.EE StudIEAust VK2TDG [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.rendrag.net/ Ph: 0417 055 052 - Fax: 02 6255 8663 -- A hard-on does NOT count as personal growth. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
Re: [SLUG] Telstra Direct IP routing
From: John Roberts [EMAIL PROTECTED] I don't have any problem with my outgoing IP traffic. My routing table is fine. It is IP traffic that should be coming in that is the problem. Traceroute shows that the packets are lost on the Telstra network. I can sort of work around the problem by masquarading my packets to my PPP IP number. But this prevents some applications that embed IP addresses within the messages themselves (eg NetMeeting). I would rather have the subnet Telstra has assigned me work. Assuming it's been more than 4 hours since you added the route, give BPD helpdesk (1800 066 594) a ring, and tell them to find out why your route hasn't flowed through the network.. - push em hard enough, and they'll flush the routes right there and then.. (That's always fun to watch.. - sit there with traceroutes running, and you can see all routes across aus drop, then (over about a 30-second period) fan out across the country :) But yeah, if you've setup your routes in custdata, left it until the 4-hourly update (8am, 12am, 4pm, 8pm, unless they've changed it in the last 12 months), but a traceroute from telstra (www.telstra.net/cgi-bin/trace) doesn't end up coming in your link, it's a telstra fault, and they have 4 hours to find the fault, and a further 4 fix it IIRC.. :) Don't let them tell you otherwise.. - I had a route change (from a vic pop to an act pop) not go through on a friday night, and had the tech on duty on saturday morning tell me that he wasn't allowed to do a routing reload, and would I mind waiting till monday morning cause he didn't want to have to get an engineer out on the weekend to do the reload.. - he ended up getting the engineer out.. :) HTH, DG -- Damien Gardner Jnr - Dip.EE StudIEAust VK2TDG [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.rendrag.net/ Ph: 0417 055 052 - Fax: 02 6255 8663 -- A hard-on does NOT count as personal growth. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug

[SLUG] Ipchains/promisc problem?
Hi All, I've come across a problem that I'm hoping someone has the answer two.. back when one of my boxes was running a 2.0 kernel, I used to use ipac on it to do ip accounting for all the machines on the network segment it was on (With eth0 in promisc mode..). I've since moved that segment onto the switch, so stopped using using ipac in this way.. We've been seeing some amazing growth in inbound traffic in the last two months (from 15 to 30gb/month incoming, without a corresponding jump in outgoing traffic (Our 'net link is used solely for webhosting/colocation)), so I've been trying to find out where the jump is.. Our core route/firewall is a BSD box, and I've got some rather full-on accounting happening with ipfw, but I really prefer ipac, as it has such a nice interface.. So I thought I'd fire up a linux box on a hub between the firewall and our border routers (internet, private links to clients, etc), put the interface into promisc mode, and get ipac happening.. It doesn't seem so easy however, as the only traffic being accounted, is traffic to/from the box, and not the traffic going by on the wire. eth0 is definitely in promisc mode, as ifconfig shows such, I can see the traffic going by with tcpdump (and RX bytes in ifconfig eth0 is sitting at 76Mb from the last 30 mins..), however an ipchains -vnL doesn't show anything except actual traffic in/out of the machine.. (I've done an 'ipchains --append -i eth0', which I would think should be accounting all data the interface is seeing..) Am I doing something wrong here? I'm prepared to go back to a 2.0 kernel to get this working if I have to, but if there's an easier solution (using ipac - it's perfect for the accounting I need to be doing at the moment..) to getting ipchains to account for what I'm expecting it to account for, I'm open to suggestions.. I've spent the last four hours digging through google searching on 'ipchains promisc', and noone else seems to have come across this problem (or perhaps just hadn't expected it to work like that..?), except for one person who posted about it here to slug last year, but never got a solution..

You'll probably want to specify some privs in there too (desc user), but I prefer to
leave them at the default (all 'N'), and specify privs on a per-user,per-database
basis.. - but for a private server you can probably just set them globally for the
user..

[SLUG] Disabling console screensaver/blanking?
Hi All, My router/firewall machine at home has been locking up solid every couple of days recently, and it's starting to get too frequent, so i'm trying to find out why.. - what I haven't been able to figure out though, is how to disable the screensaver/blanking thing on the console, so that I can see the last messages on the console when the machine locks up.. - Anyone happen to know how to disable the blanking?

[SLUG] htaccess question..
Hi All, Something that's been bothering me for a while now, that the apache doco's don't seem to be able to help me with, is how to turn off .htaccess password authentication in sub-folders of a site.. i.e. Say we have a website, with a .htaccess file in the web root telling apache to pop back an authentication box and check that it's a valid user. now that all works well, but say I have a /public folder, which I don't want *any* access restrictions on - I haven't managed to find out how to tell apache to ignore the parent folder's settings for the current folder.. - Any Ideas? :) Regards, Damien Gardner Jnr - Dip.EE StudIEAust [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.rendrag.net/ Ph: 0417 055 052 - Fax: 02 6299 9713 -- This sentence contains exactly threee erors. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug

To let that stream continue happily. But having an inbound rule allowing port 53 traffic in isn't going to help much if the traffic isn't coming back in to port 53.. i.e. if bind makes a query from say port 1534, how is the reply data going to get back in if you don't have that port opened in your firewalling? Now sure, you could add an inbound rule of src port = 53 which would get around this.. - but then you've just circumvented your whole firewall, as all the hax0r that wants to get into your box has to do is use a source port of 53, and they have full access to your machine.. :\ Regards, Damien Gardner Jnr - Dip.EE StudIEAust [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://www.rendrag.net/ Ph: 0417 055 052 - Fax: 02 6299 9713 -- A hard-on does NOT count as personal growth. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
