RE: [SLUG] VmWare configure error
Hi there I hope this helps Your kernel was built with gcc version 4.1.3, while you are trying to use /usr/bin/gcc version 4.2.3. This configuration is not recommended and VMware Server may crash if you'll continue. Please try to use exactly same compiler as one used for building your kernel. Do you want to go with compiler /usr/bin/gcc version 4.2.3 anyway? [no] After reading some different ways to fix this problem I found this one, and it worked great. first execute: ls -l /usr/bin/gcc* to see which versions you have installed, this is my output lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 2007-12-05 16:21 /usr/bin/gcc - /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 204836 2007-10-19 11:38 /usr/bin/gcc-4.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 192532 2007-10-14 11:49 /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 16312 2007-10-19 11:31 /usr/bin/gccbug-4.1 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2018 2007-04-08 21:57 /usr/bin/gccmakedep As you may see I have 4.1 and 4.2 versions installed but my gcc command is linked to 4.2, to solve that just enter these commands. su - export CC=/usr/bin/gcc-4.1 and then vmware-config.pl Kind regards, Gareth Smith IT Operations and Infrastructure 68-72 Waterloo Rd North Ryde, NSW, Australia 2113 Desk:+61 2 8306 6989 Mobile: +61 414 818 575 -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daryl Thompson Sent: Monday, 27 October 2008 10:20 AM To: slug@slug.org.au Subject: Re: [SLUG] VmWare configure error Hi Tried it and I still get the same error Regards, Daryl Thompson Daryl Thompson wrote: Hi Sulgers I am having trouble running perl /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl on my Fedora 9 it stops with error make: Leaving directory `/tmp/vmware-config0/vmmon-only' Unable to build the vmmon module.

RE: [SLUG] Fortress .... err Firewall Australia
I know there is no perfect solution. TV has always been censored throughout Australia. If TV becomes and online? What happens if it is uncensored? Mum and Dad who don't know how to filter their own web content what do they do? I know my grandfather cant use his mobile phone let alone filter internet content.

RE: [SLUG] Fortress .... err Firewall Australia
Hi there, I don't think this is a bad idea to censor Home/School internet connections. I think business connections shouldn't be censored as you can setup your own filtering. Optus already block ports 138, 80 and 25 on home connections why not block some more content. I think censorship is a great idea. Young children need to be censored from harmful content. They don't need to be exposed to potentially damaging websites and now with internet on a mobiles, kids are being exposed to harmful content that they shouldn't see. I think home internet plans should be filtered and business plans can be unfiltered. That way everyone are happy. China filters the whole internet to the country and this works for them so it's feasable to do this technically. Censoring the whole internet is stupid but censoring HOMES and Schools is a great idea. firmly committed to a mandatory clean-feed internet to Australian homes, schools and public computers Our internet connections are already filtered and intercepted so why not filter the extra CRAP like PORN out. If you want it get a business connection.

They're being successfully wedged by the shrill wowsers like Hetty Johnstone that being anti-filtering is equivalent to being pro kiddy porn. Hi Simon, I think that fairly describes the last lot in government. This lot seem to be serious. That are being wilfully blind to the effects on reliability and performance. They still think of the Internet as the Interweb, forgetting about the huge amount of hidden traffic carrying phone calls, building global scientific instruments, and so on. Even from the perspective of the Interweb the proposal is stupid.

RE: [SLUG] Fortress .... err Firewall Australia
Hi there, Maybe I missed something but the censorship on the website on the original post was to be applied to Australian homes, schools and public computers. If you're a techno head and want to view an UNCENSORED content get an UNCENSORED CONNECTION. EG a business connection and censor it yourself. Whouldn't it be great if the ISP provided an content filter at the ISP level where you can manage your own content. You login and unrestrict the content you want to view. Now tell me how do you stop your children from connecting to porn sites from their mobile phone? The internet web content is already censored!!! But we don't have control over it. If your under the impression that the internet is uncensored you need to realise that it already is. Illigal content like online gambling and terrorist information is already blocked. Schools and public computers are already censored with strict content filtering policies. Why not filter it at the ISP and not at the client site. Even charaty organistations don't have time or the money to have an IT admin just managing their content on the client side. LET THE ISP'S MANAGE THE FILTERING. I know I don't want to pay for the download of a site that ends up being blocked by my content filter. We are we paying for downloads that we don't want. Just think of an ISP level net nanny managing your multiply internet connections. I think this would be great managing your internet connetions on any device you have. I know I don't want to download something that will be filted. I DON'T WANT PORN. Why shold I pay for the download of a an PORN ADD that I don't want. By default the SEX companies shouldn't be able to propogate PORN to our children by default. I used to manage content filters for multiple businesses and managing client side content filters are annoying. I don't want to do this but the reality is we need content filtering!! Why should schools pay for the bandwidth of content that just gets stripped out by your content filter anyway.

Who decides what is appropriate and what isn't? Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it. - Attributed to Mark Twain The task of deciding what is appropriate for children is the job of the parents. All filtering systems have faults -- over or under blocking, so aren't a perfect solution. A much better option is to have the computer in a public location. I think home internet plans should be filtered and business plans can be unfiltered. Feel free to install whatever filtering system you would like on YOUR internet connection. The government even provides the software for free. Me, I'll stick to my own thanks! China filters the whole internet to the country and this works for them No, it doesn't work. What it blocks is trivial access to sites like CNN, BBC and ABC. A few obvious porn sites (playboy, penthouse) are blocked, while the rest are open. It is trivially easy to get around the censorship -- I set up just such a system for a friend when he lived in Shanghai. How the Chinese firewall works is through fear of being noticed. My friend was okay running a VPN to my server because, as a westerner, he would have been deported. A local would be locked up in a prison for ideological offenders. This is the model we want for Australia? so it's feasable to do this technically. Censoring the whole internet is stupid but censoring HOMES and Schools is a great idea. Sure, a great idea. Except it doesn't work. Internet Filtering - It's like WorkChoices for your computer: You never asked for it, you've repeatedly said you don't want it, but the Government is determined to ram it down your throat, all the while smirking, and telling you what a great favour they're doing you. -- Rev Simon Rumble [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.rumble.net The Tourist Engineer Because nerds travel too. http://engineer.openguides.org/ If the designers of X-windows built cars, there would be no fewer than five steering wheels hidden about the cockpit, none of which followed the same prinicples -- but you'd be able to shift gears with your car stereo.

RE: [SLUG] X11 authentication rejection when trying to start VMs usingvmware GUI
Hi Michael, Have you installed the vmware on your local computer, make sure that it is the same version and try this again. I know when I have used X11 forwarding in the past I required the same version of the software installed locally, so the remote computer application can be displayed on the local computer. I haven't tried this with vmware. What version of vmware are you running? Hope this makes sense.

[SLUG] SMTP Mail relay nots from Friday night
Hi there, I'm interested if there are any notes regarding this talk. Peter mentioned a few websites on the night regarding more information but I cannot remember them, can anyone help? I know he mentioned 2 RFCs, I found 1 RFC2821 but I cannot remember the other. The problem I'm having at the moment is that I'm sending emails through mail.bigpond.com and mail may take a few days to get a bounce back or get through. This is causing a few issues. I know that SMTP is not a protocal that gaurentees mail delivery in a spacific time but I'm just trying to reduce the time. Does anyone know of any good mail relays for sending emails more quickly. In-Depth Talk Peter Chubb: I Hate Spam!!! All of us are affected by spam. I'll be giving some war stories ... hear about the time that collateral spam brought down UNSW CSE's mail servers ... how to report spammers so it doesn't happen to you! ... hear about the time that spamassassin managed to OOM and bring down an important web server ... how to configure your MTA to reject enough spam that spamassassin doesn't have to do so much work. I'll be giving my examples for Exim configuration, but the principles (and I'll be talking more about what to do than how to do it) will apply to all mail servers.
