RE: Possibly OT: Postfix stopped working (firestarter problem???)

2004-12-12 Thread Dan Roozemond
Thank you for your answer, unfortunately you're quite right :( It didn't even cross my mind until I read your mail and checked the homepage of my ISP, and there it stood, the announcement of blocking the port 25. That sucks, but I guess there's not much I can do except change my

I have this strange problem that Postfix stopped working all of a sudden. Actually, it does work locally but remotely, both sending and receiving don't work. And this seems to (or could) be more of a problem with my firewall (firestarter) than that of postfix. Because even as I have

Er... sorry to all, but I just noticed that I am STILL getting a lot of requests (sorry for marking this as solved!... my mistake). Maybe some of the websites 'abusing' you still have you listed as an open proxy. This would mean the requests are made, but not succesfully answered by your

RE: Limiting User Commands

2004-11-09 Thread Dan Roozemond
I feel the need to learn something new today. How could the user replace the root owned files in a directory that they own? Suppose the root-owned file (readable for non-root user) is a. Then one does 'cp a b; rm a; mv b a' and we have the same file a owned by the regular user. Key

For example, as I mentioned in an earlier reply, I might not want normal users to be able to run ftp, telnet, ssh, wget, gcc, or any other number of commands. I still want users to be able to run the bulk of the commands available on the system, though. I might also want to allow another set

Hi, I am wondering what the best way is to go about staying up to date. If I run apt-get -s upgrade I'm told that apt wants to upgrade about 15 packages, most of which seem to be related to X (we won't ever be using X on this server. it wasn't originally installed and Id like to get

The only thing that might cause a problem would be if it updates a large package (say Apache or Perl) and has a small configuration bug that makes you run around and pull your hair out trying to figure out what's changed and how to fix it. This is when reading the Debian-user list

RE: Cache DNS...??

2004-09-27 Thread Dan Roozemond
So you can use the pdnsd package or, as Andrew suggested, the dnsmasq. I'm not sure but even bind9 should have some caching system of the resolved domain... I believe the default behaviour of bind9 is a caching-only name server. You'd only need to adjust the allow-query-directive in order to

RE: kernel panic on remote server after security update

Then the machine rebooted itself and it has come up with a kernel panic. My guess is that this is related to some problem with the bootloader or LILO. I was just hoping that someone could refer me to a likely fix for this since I'm not even in the city with the machine and I have to forward
