[expert] Lightweight DNS server.
Hi guys, (and ladies) Due to demand, I have decided to split my server up into 3 different machines. I have 2 x 500MHZ systems and a 166MHZ P1. I want to use one 500MHZ as a dedicated web server. The other 500mhz as my mail/virus/spam and IRC server. That leaves the 166MHZ (an old IBM Machine) that I want to use as my primary DNS server. (the secondary is taken care of already.) So, what I am looking for, is a small lighweight, secure linux distro that I can use as a dedicated DNS server. It does not need to have anything else accept SSH (it won't have a monitor or keyboard/mouse). The two 500MHZ machines will be running 9.2. The 166mhz has only 16MB ram (though I will probably upgrade that to about 64 or if I can 128MB..) so it needs to be pretty lightweight.. Any suggestions guys???

I assume that these are the settings that the client has once it has been set up by the DHCP server. This shows that the client is expecting the Linux box to answer DNS queries for it. (A DNS cache) Is that working? dnscache from DJB is a great program for that. The 'caching nameserver' option of Mandrake 9.1 might work okay also. Or you can configure the DHCP service on your Linux box to tell your clients to pull DNS from your ISP or some other server, and not from itself. (probably the quickest solution. Running a local dns cache is the best in the longer term) Go to a client box and try to ping something by name, and then again by IP address.

MMS is a streaming format for Windows Media Services. The way Harry is giving access to those streams is not recommended. He should be using an .asx file to direct your browser to the stream where mplayer, Windows Media Player or Xine would pick it up. I would stick with the downloads in the right column. They are the same files, just not streamed. Come to think of it... I don't even think those files are being streamed. True streaming requires a Windows Media Server streaming server. This appears as if he is doing faux streaming using a standard web server.

I think, more specifically, you may have meant that you were trying to use the GUI (Graphical User Interface) to do the update, since, of course, you can run a command line from X. I believe that when you run the Mandrake Update (to which I think you were referring) it only uses the media labeled updates. If there are no updates available on that specific source you will get the response that everything is already installed. This would be a correct response because all of the updates available on that source are already installed. If you want to update the machine using all available sources: -As root run urpmi.update -a on the command line to make sure urpmi knows what is available for updates -Launch Install Software from the menu and select All packages, by update availability. You will then get a list of updates that are available from all of the different urpmi sources. Until I understand how to handle a single source, I don't want multiple sources. I have one and only one source for this machine, my rsync mirror of the sunet.se cooker mirror. What I'm actually trying to do is figure out the awful X interface for package management. I used the one cli command urpmi.addmedia as a shortcut, since I couldn't even figure how to get the X interface to do a single useful update thing. How to I use the X interface to make the original source equal to the updates source? Try this. I don't know if it will work or not. I don't want to screw up my configuration by testing it. I find it is easier to use the command line to add sources, but you're not me...so...here goes: -KDE Menu =Configuration = Packaging = Software Sources Manager -If there is a sources named updates click on it and click on Remove to remove it (obvious, I know). -Click on Add... -Click on Local files -Name the source updates -Browse to the local directory with all of the cooker files. -Click OK That should do it.

On Monday 08 September 2003 10:39 am, Adrian Golumbovici wrote: Hmmm. I will try to answer all which did answer to my question. I am not sure about how much a PC is burning, but I will try to illustrate the situation: I live in a 2 rooms appartment. Am married and no kids. The heating was also a shock, but in my city the heating costs are pretty high and I think I can solve that by installing some auto thermal regulation. The shocking part was the electricity bill. In one year according to the readings I burnt about 7791 Kwh!!! Do you live in the UK? I have no reference to understand if that is high or not. I live in Phoenix Arizona and last year my average for the year was 1,739.94kw per month. That is roughly 20880 a year! Of course I live in the desert and I have a family of 4 and the house is 2600 square feet. I presume you must have extremely high rates where you are? My thoughts are that if the electric bill is too much, you may not be able to afford a photo cell. Go to http://www.sierrasolar.com/index.html for an idea. But since I don't know where you are at, you may have to google for solar power in your area, or find out what the cost of your currency is compared to ours. The most likely scenario if the consumption is so high for your usage etc, is that the meter is incorrect. Ask them to replace the meter. It may be defective. Cooking stove, fridge, waterheating for bathroom and kitchen, TV, and dishwashing machine (mini version) run on electricity. But I don't think we cook/wash/bathe/etc more than any regular family. The lightbulbs are these funky fluorescent things which burn very little electricity (13W) and give lots of light. The only thing which a normal/average family doesn't have are 3 PCs (1 server + 1 for me + 1 for my wife) which run 24/7. So that is why the idea that the PCs might be the prob. I called the supplier and he offered to let me borrow a special tool which allows you to measure the power consumption of electrical appliances and see which is the trouble maker (in case there is only one). The supplier was shocked too and said that my readings could be called usual only if I would have a family of 8 living in my appartment.:/ I think I will do it, but in the meantime with such an invoice I wanted to try to diminish whatever I can and thus also the PCs uptime. Am not sure if I am depressed or shocked. It is the beginning of the month and am already on minus with my bank account as result as the yearly invoice for the differences between payments and burnt KWh. :( So any suggestion, beside putting a hampster run, to diminish the energy consumption, would be welcome. I know this is slightly offtopic, but am almost pulling my hairs here... It would be more of a slashdot.org subject, but you guys always come up with cool ideas. :) Anyway, the solar voltaic cell sounds as a neat idea. How does that work, how much would such thing cost, how big it is, how much power can it give and how about nights? About the nights I suppose there are 2 main options: 1. charge some sort of battery in the day in the same time with the usage 2. make some sort of installation that would switch to socket electricity as soon as the power from the solar cell isn't enough anymore. Both of the above ideas sound cool, but have no clue whatsoever how to do it either way. Any suggestions would be appreciated. For the time being I decided to switch to a different calculation mode for the electricity from my provider which is normally used for firms, so that my invoice level would sink. :/ Best regards, Adrian - Original Message - From: lorne [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 08, 2003 5:42 AM Subject: Re: [expert] Enabling Power management under Mandrake 9.1 On Sunday 07 September 2003 11:04 am, Adrian Golumbovici wrote: Hi All, Am back again with a small prob. :) After I saw the electricity invoice and recovered from the heart attack:) I decided I might want to stop keeping my server/firewall online all the time.

It is assumed (possibly incorrectly) that if you are using a cooker version of Mandrake that you are aware of this and know how to keep the machine up-to-date. Everyone who does had to get there somehow. Unless I'm missing something, no one is born knowing how. Are you new to Linux or Mandrake? If so, you're diving in pretty deep Define new? My first Linux install was RedHat 5.2. My first Mandrake install, 7.1. My first Mandrake beta testing, 8.0. My first cooker, last Friday, after rc1 wouldn't install except as upgrade from 9.1. by running a test version of anything Linux. It may be better to run something that is ready for those that are experiencing Linux or Mandrake Linux for the first time. If not, knock yourself out. :-) I cobbled the box purely for testing Mandrake cooker/beta/rcx. I learned over the past several Mandrake beta versions that if I want to actually use Mandrake for normal things, to only use releases, and to experiment with something else. So, I have this box running OS/2 24/7; a box with W98, OS/2, RedHat 9 used mostly for W98; a box with W98, OS/2 RedHat 6.2, used for little more than my EPROM burner; a box with DOS, W2K, OS/2, Mdk 7.1, Corel 1.1, RedHat 7.3 Mdk 9.1, used mostly for Mdk; and the new (slow, 200 MHz) box for cooker. -- ...[B]e quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry James 1:19 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.

That's what the Mandrake Update tool calls it when you first use it. But that seems (as you and others have said) only to work with final releases. To use it during development you'd have to have some way to identify the updates and save or link them through an actual Updates directory as you find on the mirrors after a release has gone final. In cooker I use a slightly different function; when I choose to use the GUI to update packages, whether from remote sources or from the development tree mirror on the system, I always just go to the (in KDE) ConfigurationPackagingInstall Software then right click the left pane and select Update Media. Then choose the last category All packages...: and using the pull down select by update availability. That will give you two expandable categories; Addable and Upgradable. I'm sure you know which you're looking for, right? g But I'd still prefer to use the command line even after final release. :-) Regards; Charlie - -- Edmonton,AB,Canada User 244963 at http://counter.li.org Cooker on kernel 2.4.22-6mdk 23:15:22 up 1 day, 44 min, 1 user, load average: 0.08, 0.22, 0.20 Love IS what it's cracked up to be. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/XWW1G11CaRuZZSIRAh05AJ4l4jGB0sNfs4W0Z56Mxp/AH5WxSgCfcJ1k ZyDVjE5kvD9xEou4D13c4F0= =vrv5 -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
