Hello list,
As some of you may know, this Wednesday, we are going to be trying a
hands-on, interactive meeting [1]. The goal is to get the laptops of those
who are interested to work with WiFi/802.11b wireless cards. I am trying to
collect binary packages for various distributions, so we can

to the well one more time :-)
My new iptables firewall is up and seems to be running ok. I have a few
bounced packets that I don't understand and I was wondering if someone
might explain them to me. (I'm Mr. 146.115.228.

You put your email access passwords into .fetchmailrc and make
sure it's locked down tight. You're using imap-ssl so they're
not going out over the wire.

That is true. It also depends on where the command is initiated.
Using the NFS method, tar is executed on the local system (eg. the server
with the tape drive), and will be using the CPU and memory on that system.
The remote system is involved only in file service.
Running tar on the remote ma
If SSH is required for security, I wouldn't use NFS. NFS isn't secure.
Maybe his non routable address is in a hostile environment (web
hosting backend, DMZ, etc)
Also, you can turn on compression in SSH. ssh -C -c blowfish will
compress & use the faster blowfish algorithm.

You might be better off using dump. It does work over ssh (and rsh)
and goes right to the tape drive of the remote machine. You have to setup
RSA keys (I think) for ssh between the two hosts, but I used it a few years
ago to back up all the servers to a central tape drive nightly.
If you absolu
Quick & dirty:
tar cf - files | ssh B 'dd if=- of=/dev/st0'
or
ssh A tar cf - files | dd if=- of=/dev/st0
or something like that.
Tar can work with rmt and there's probably a way to make that work with
ssh, but I'm not sure how. Probably something like
On A:
ssh -L 441:B:441 /bin/sleep

More or less than the overhead of NFS? The nice thing with tar is
that if you have a pretty hefty CPU in the local system, you can run
it though gzip and compress it *
The simplest way to proceed is to NFS mount the drive from box A on Box B.
(Since you are on a non-routable ip address behind some semblance of
firewall, you should be secure). Then:
mount
tar cf /dev/mtxxx
cd
umount
Remember that ssh will add a significant overhead.

One simpleminded approach I've used goes something like
tar -cvzf - directory | ssh remoteMachine 'dd of=/dev/yourTapeDriveHere'
...and you can add "bs=1024k" to the dd commandline in order to buffer
up 1Mb on the tape-equipped machine before each write to tape.

To all you tar gurus out there, I have a question.
On box A (192.168.0.2) I have data that badly needs backing up. On box B
(192.168.0.9) I have a tape drive.
Can I use tar, over ssh, to back up box A to the tape on B?
Typically I just `tar -cvzf file.tar.gz directory` I've never used a

Signals, process groups, sessions, orphans,
controlling terminals, etc. Here Be Dragons.
As an experiment, I'd suggest trying the exact
same scenarios but with vim instead of pine,
and then with xterm instead of gnome-terminal.
I'm guessing that pine's the culprit, though

I use GNOME. I have a few icons on my panel set to spawn processes in a

I've not price-shopped in a long time so I cannot compare, but I

G4 Communications (Metro2000) in Manchester has pretty decent colocation
prices. Check out their prices www.colocenter.com. I've had a machine up
there for quite some time and I've worked with them for T1 installations
too. They are a great bunch and really helpful.
Rob.
