Re: How naked am I?
On 04/28/2011 01:15 PM, pecon...@mesanetworks.net wrote: Day before yesterday (26 apr 2011) I installed newly released software on my wheezy computers on my home LAN. Yesterday, I woke up to find that none of these computers could communicate with my router (a DLink DI-604, no longer offered by DLink). I established that it was not bad cables by swapping cables. Every cable worked in some situation, but none worked when connected to the router. This has been working since early 2005, through many software upgrades, but yesterday not so great. Strange part of the problem is that an Apple AirPort which was also connected to the router for use by my daughter with her Mac laptop continued to function through multiple cable changes and power cyclings. But late afternoon, it also quit. I had been having some paranoid fears about the DLink router over the last month and decided to go out and buy a more modern home grade router at Best Buy (brand name Netgear, the box said it worked with Linux). I brought it home and more difficulties. These computers all have wheezy installed using a business card CD of squeeze. To change / fix /experiment with different software, I need a working Internet connection, but I can't configure my new router because I can't ping it. But the Apple AirPort seems to be happy with the new router without any configuration, so I try to install Squeeze on one of my computers and just using whatever DHCP gets found by the new router, or whatever resources the business-card CD can access. It works! My one computer gets loaded with Squeeze and allows me to log on to my ISP's web mail access to my email account via Iceweasel browser. So I can pester you wonderful people for help. My first issue is: I have done nothing about NAT or any sort of firewalling. Does the way I installed, using DHCP service from somewhere (perhaps coded into the busiCard CD??) Does that include firewalling by default? What do I have in the way of protection? Any? How do I discover what, exactly I have? Etc. How naked am I? Paul E Condon pecon...@mesanetworks.net Its very likely that DHCP is offered by your router and the router does the NATing for your local network. Home routers are set to do both of these by default. Also other than allowing ICMP traffic to the router, by default home routers doesnt allow any traffic from the net in to the LAN. However some routers do have Telnet or SSH ports open on the router so thats the first thing you need to look out for. If these ports are open, then since the router still uses the default password, someone can get into your router and after that, to your LAN. A simple : route -n will show you the default gateway used by your PC and this is most likely to be the new router. http://router.ip.address is likely to give you the web based control panel of the router and from there you can setup firewalls, change router passwords, etc. For more exact information you will have to look at the router's documentation, which will have the default IP, username and password of the router. As well as details on how to configure it from the web based panel Regards, Mihira. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

The cars should be (and, after decades of development, finally are) projected such that without all the fluids in place they simply won't start, while notifying the driver with an appropriate flashing indicator on the dashboard. Much the same should go for computers -- even more so, since in computers, automating tasks is not just a collateral object, but the primary one. An operating system should have reliable backup policies built-in; for example, it should backup the entire /home subtree to rewritable DVDs, or a network share, on a weekly basis. When installing the system, the user should be asked where to and how often the backups should be made, just as (s)he is asked for the time zone and the language to be used. Without this info, the installation should simply refuse to go on. Computers -- just as cars -- are not aficionado, niche technology anymore, and we should stop treating them as such: a computer operating system should be as resilient, self-sufficient and user-independent as humanly possible. That doesn't mean, of course, that knowing the inner workings of our technologies should be obfuscated or even actively prevented (as seems, sadly, to be the trend in both Mac OS and Windows). However, it should be left to individual preferences, not forced upon us one way or the other. I, for one, enjoy fiddling with computers; but not nearly as much as I despise anything that has to do with inner combustion engines ... And yet, you took the trouble to actually learn that the car needs coolant in the radiator, gas in the tank and other oil in their respective places and you too the trouble to learn how to fill/refill those. The car is not set to automatically fill them up are they ? Same applies for the PC. Just as a car owner learns those things to use his car, a PC owner should take the trouble to learn the basics which includes learning the importance of backups and setting up backups. Also mandatory setting of backups during the install process doesnt make much sense as the same OS can be installed in any number of setups where backup media may not be available at the time of installation. It should be set as an optional post installation procedure. Mihira. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Another poster has said it doesn't matter too much which ISO you get but is dependent on what HDW the VM offers. Do you know from experience that the i386 is required in my case? (Running i7 Q820 multiple 1.73 Ghz and windows 7 64 bit) If you're going to use ia64 version of debian make sure the VM that you create for it is Intel Itanium type. If the VM is a standard 686 or a x64, then use the i386 or x64 isos respectively. The question whether i386 is required in your case or not depends on how much memory you are planning to allocate to the VM as well as what software that you plan to use on it. If the memory allocation is 4GB or less, the i386 iso is quite enough. If there's any specific software that you plan to install which needs a 64bit kernel, then install x64 iso.

I understand SMTP/POP a bit, I used to run *NIX boxes for a company, back before internet, when we had slow dialup...

My own ( former) ISP blocked my smtp mail when I was not in their network ( working away from home, trying to send mail). I also switched ISPs mail hosts because one of them ( ISP Bellsouth) was blocking any email to/from my domain hosts. I couldn't get that issue resolved in 2 weeks, so I dropped them. I have my own domain, and I have it hosted. What would I need to run, besides my kmail, to receive and send mail from my Debian PC, hosting my own domain? I keep hearing about postfix, sendmail, exim... Exim is the default in Debian, and the one I suggest you go with unless you want to set up some kind of groupware like Kolab (in which case, go with what it depends on or recommends). Exim is pretty straightforward and relatively easy to work with. thanks! Since I am new to Debian ( a few years running SUSE..) I wasn't familiar with exim, but I'll take a look! I'll take a look wikipedia and exim, I appreciate the info! While you're at it, give Postfix a once over as well. It can do the above scenario quite easily (Still needs Fetchmail or similar to get the mail down from the ISP) as well. IMO (coming from managing windows servers to Linux) , Postfix is easier to configure than Exim or Sendmail (lets not start a which is better war here) and all required components of Postfix is available in Debian Stable (Etch) for various setups (LDAP plugins, MySQL plugins, etc.) so its hassle free to set it up as well (no need to compile sources with custom configurations).

Re: Bad E-mail setup in office. I need advice
Dawn Light wrote: An inefficient E-mail setup in a small office needs to be replaced with a better solution. I ask for your wise advice. In a landscape architecture office, there are several Windows XP workstations for the architects to do their design work with. One of those workstations has a common E-mail client installed which works with one E-mail account provided by the ISP. It receives from it using POP3 and sends to it using SMTP, as commonly done. Some incoming messages are adressed to the office and some are addressed to the various architects ( There is only one E-mail address). Thus anyone who wishes to read his incoming messages and send messages needs to physically go and use the workstation with the mail client. This, if you haven't guessed already, it somewhat uncomfortable for daily work in the office. The requirements are that all messages, inbox and sent, would be available to access from all of the workstations and that it would be possible to send messages from all workstations, also. This is still using the single account provided by the ISP. I would appreciate it if I was described of a setup that should answer these requirements effieciently, including the protocols and software involved.

I'm wondering if in your travels, have any of you seen a case (tower,
desktop, or rackmount) that is:
-- of heavy steel frame and panels.
-- perhaps overlaping vents with no line-of-sight from the inside to the
outside.
-- lots of non-hot-swap drive space (unless hot-swap trays are included
or readily avilable). Front-accessible bays: floppy (old-board bios may
come on a floppy), CD, plus perhaps room for a future tape unit (2
half-height bays).
-- lots of card slots on the rear (in excess of MB) for e.g. motherboard
USB in lieu of front USB ports.
-- plus all the other normal good stuff for a case: great cooling, no
sharp edges, etc.
Front-panel USB is not important, especially if it has extra rear slots.
Front-panel sound is not important.
All the front panel needs is a power switch (preferably covered against
accidental pushing) with an on light, and perhaps a drive light.
If this rings a bell, could you let me know so I can track one down?
Thanks,
Doug.
Once again, old IBM servers comes to mind. Those boxes must be made out
of steel or lead. Weighs a heck of a lot.
While you're at it, why not buy an old steel safe to house the PCs ?
some old safes have really thick steel walls. I'm sure you'd be able to
find a steel welder to do some adjustments to it to allow cables through
as well as air flow.
Then you can use any up to date casing.

I had a bad feeling as soon as I saw that all the favicons were YouTube. There you go. As others reported before, Flash doesn't play nicely on Iceweasel. 22 youtube windows will certainly crash Iceweasel. This is a behavior I have noticed on Iceweasel as well. Load flash intensive pages or lots of pages that has flash components in Iceweasel and the weasel looses its cool and crashes. Sometimes it just freezes other times it terminates on its own. However upon restarting Iceweasel it asks to restore the crashed session or start a new session. If you don't get that prompt, then your configuration has deviated from the default.

Re: low-MHz server
Douglas A. Tutty wrote: Hello, I have an unusual situation and problem at which I've been chipping away. The base technology predates my IT experience. My wife is sensitive to what she describes as electromagnetic fields. She gets headaches and other pains when exposed to equipment: the higher the frequency, the worse her symptoms. For example, a VT is better than a regular CRT connected to even a P-II-233 MHZ while a 486DX4-100 is better than the P-II. Both are far better than my Athlon64 @3.5 GHz. And any CRT is better than any LCD/plasma screen. Even my Palm Zire (I think 233 MHz) with its ~2x~3 screen is unsuitable within about 30 feet of her. She can't wear a digital watch. Time to call a psychiatrist ? For lack of anything suitable, I have been using my Athlon64 for daily use, with the P-II used for other-machine backup and ssh access to the Athlon64 (one is upstairs, the other is downstairs) for e.g. a quick email check. My 486 isn't used right now since it only has 32 MB ram and an 850 MB hard drive. The backup set size right now is around 2 GB. I now have a VT520 which I can put upstairs for those email checks which means I can move the P-II farther away from her. While I want to keep the Athlon64 for serious heavy lifting (graphical web browsing, watching DVDs, burning CDs, etc,) I want to move the main application server function off of it. The P-II only has 64 MB of ram, is a abused box I rescued (full of cat hair and over-heating). I would like to get a box (or boxes) that is (are) reliable, run at e.g 133 MHz (certainly less than 200 MHz), with lots of ram, and lots of hard drive space. Since the apps run on it will be non-graphical, it could be headless, accessed via the VT520 or ssh from the Athlon. I'm thinking that this will be unsuitable for an embedded device like a soekris and more like an older multi-disk server. I guess I'll have to go to eBay for the hardware since its long gone off any reseller's shelf. I don't have any experience with anything other than i386 or amd64 so in that line I figure this will be a multiple-CPU 486 or Pentium box. Because the box will be so old, it would have to be one that was popular so that spare parts are readily available, but also one that was well designed and built in the first place. I can tolerate some down time while I swap out parts but I want to be able to keep spares on hand. I suppose I could buy 3 complete functioning boxes just for the spares. Looking at the packages lists in the different arches, the four possibilities are i386, alpha, sparc, and sparc64. Since this is a finished room in the basement, not a datacenter, I want the box to do its own hard drive storage and not just be a compute node that is supposed to have a separate box full of drives (unless this is straight-forward). I'm envisioning something like a 4- or 5U server box. Rackmounting a single servier is fine since I can make a suitable shelf to simulate a rack. Of course, a tower model would be fine if it was popular (re spares). Here's the software that I need to run on the box: vim mc mutt tex python some kind of printfilter to serve my Epson LQ-2080 impact printer. lynx exim. All this used to work on my IBM 486 with Sarge, but Etch is a little too dicey on it. Here's the hardware-type I'm envisioning: Multiple CPU so that multiple apps can run better on limited individual CPUs, running under 200 MHz Probably PCI bus. Paralell port for the printer (or I would just use a USB adapter) USB for future needs serial port for console multi-port serial for terminal(s) and my external 3Com Courier modem. 10 or 10/100 Ethernet Multiple hard drives: IIRC, the older boxes had 9 GB SCSI drives. I don't know if one can plunk new eg. 250 GB SCSI drives in them. SCSI HBA for a tape drive Any suggestions for good old boxes like this that will run modern Debian or OpenBSD and be reasonably reliable? Thanks, Doug. I once ran Apache, Postfix, Dnsmasq, mysql,Squid and Dansguardian on an old IBM box that had a Pentium MMX 166 and 96MB memory and a 5 GB hard disk. IBM called these machines Aptiva and they put them on the market soon after Windows 95 was released. It was functioning as DHCP server, gateway, transparent proxy and web filter for a LAN of about 40 PCs. It had Etch (when it was still testing) and ran without any problems until the hard disk died several months ago. The 2 changes I did to that box was to add memory and add a second cheapo PCI NIC.
