Here's a reverse zone file for my home network. It's 10.10.0/24
but you'll figure out how to tailor this to your needs.
Yikes I promised to post my reverse file based on your example and
then mailed my response without including it. You saw the failure:

From this experience, here's my understanding of how zone files work: - The general syntax for lines in the zone files: key ttl class type value - You may leave out one or more of these fields, which means they inherit the value that field had in the previous line. - You may use parenthesis to break long entries into several lines. This is mostly done for the SOA line, but should worlk for other lines as well. - The ';' character means the rest of the line is a comment. - You may use the special value '@' to mean the origin, which initially is the value from the 'zone' entry in the named.conf file, with a '.' appended. An $ORIGIN entry redefines the origin for subsequent entries in the file. You may put in several $ORIGIN entries. - A $TTL entry sets the default value of the 'ttl' field from that line on. - Where names are used -- eg. the 'key' field of an 'IN A' entry, or the 'value' field of an 'IN PTR' entry -- you may specify the full name by ending it with a '.'. Names with no '.' at the end have the origin appended. Now, if you look at your 'IN NS' line (which specifies the authorative name server for your reverse domain), it translates into: key ttl class type value 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. 1DIN NS reader.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Which is not what you want. Instead, try the following line: IN NS reader.local.lan. In addition, 'reader' should have an 'IN A' entry in the 'local.lan' zone file. The 'dig' command from 'bind-tools' comes in handy when debugging bind setups. Some handy commands: dig reader.local.lan dig local.lan any dig local.lan axfr dig -x 192.168.1 axfr dig -x 192.168.1 any Given like this, 'dig' contacts the name servers from '/etc/resolv.conf'. You may also append '@name-server-name' to a 'dig' command in order to specify directly which name server to contact. -- Jo. pgpTGVXZAYd7r.pgp Description: PGP signature

Re: [gentoo-user] Changing role of router
On 20:44 Sat 04 Mar , Trey Sizemore wrote: My current home network consists of several PC connected to a Netgear wireless router (using its default factory IP of 192.168.0.1). It also serves DHCP address to machines that need it. It, in turn, is connected to my DSL modem. I will be adding a firewall to the mix and plan to use the Netgear wireless router solely as a hub and WAP. I will disable it's DHCP serving functionality. My questions are: a) Given it's new role, will it still require an IP address? If so, it will be on my internal network (vs. DMZ with servers) and have an address of 192.168.1.1 for example. Should this be changed now before I rearrange the configuration? I assume it needs an IP as I will need to access the web-based admin interface to turn wireless on and off, etc. b) I would assume the WAN port would not be used and all machines using the hub would just plug into one of the four LAN ports. c) I have a true hub that will be used in the DMZ consisting of machines with addresses like 192.168.0.x. Here I assume the hub would *not* have an IP assigned to it. The key, I think, is the capability of your wireless router. Can it act as a bridge? If so, you may have the choice of setting it up with or without an ip address. Normally, you would want it with a ip address, so that you can easily http in and reconfigure it as necessary. If you can set it up as a bridge with an ip address, the address will be on the internal network, 192.168.1.0, not the DMZ network. If you cannot set it up as a bridge, it will need two ip addresses, the external address on the DMZ network, and the internal network on the 192.168.1.0 network. It will then do NAT'ing, which will require you to put a route on your firewall, letting it know where to send the 192.168.1.0 traffic.

Hmm. I guess you could try to define the zone 168.192.in-addr.arpa instead.
Then you'd have this in named.conf:
zone 168.192.in-addr.arpa IN { type master; file pri/168.192.zone;
notify no; };
And in pri/168.192.zone:

This is definitely wrong:
- the 'IN SOA' entry should have the origin as key
- it doesn't make any sense to use anything but reverse IP network addresses off
the in-addr.arpa domain
It should not be necessary to set the $ORIGIN to the same value you defined in
the named.conf file.
If you try to put two zones inside one file, as you do in your reverse zone,
in addition to redefining $ORIGIN, you need to put in an additional 'IN SOA'
entry. I believe the missing 'IN SOA' for your second reverse zone is the
reason bind complains about 'no owner'.
And again: it's really no reason why you can't put all of this into one zone
instead.

I managed to confuse myself quite a lot on this. I thought to do that (go up one level and use 1 reverse file. db.192.168) it meant I needed to set up the domain that way to. That is, use 192.168/16 addressing for my domain local.lan. So all lan netmasks become 255.255.0.0. And I had found that is a very complicated way to set things up. Also leads to prolems with each machine (the ones with 2 nics) not knowing who is supposed to do what. Then requiring speciallized routes to be set so 192.168.1.1 knows to call 192.168.1.2 without going thru default gw of 192.168.0.20. Down that path, just about all of it is a few jumps above my head. So I had scrapped that notion thinking both bind setup and network setup would need all that complication to go that way. After setting up bind as you suggested with one main Pointer file.

I have done this, logged out of kde, and logged back in, however it still does not work at this time. Did I miss something? Curiously in Konsole, ctl-alt-F1 gives P , ctl-alt-F2 gives R. You shouldn't need to logout, the change takes place as soon as you hit Apply. Anyway, this worked for me after upgrading to xorg 7.0. At first I could not switch to console either, but as soon as I fixed my keyboard layout (in my case it was actually the variant that changed it's name from the old release) everything returned to normal. __ Do You Yahoo!?

By defining several 'IN A' entries for the same host name, you effectively get bind to serve these addresses in 'round robin' fashion whenever a client looks up that name. Another way to look at this is that you don't name hosts in DNS, you name IP addresses. If a host has several IP addresses, eg. because it has several NIC's, you should give a separate name to each IP address. In your case, you could do something like this: reader IN A 192.168.0.4 reader0 IN A 192.168.0.4 reader1 IN A 192.168.1.2 or reader0 IN A 192.168.0.4 reader1 IN A 192.168.1.2 reader IN CNAME reader0 Note that you may define as many names for an IP address as you like. A case where you'd definitely want to do this, is with the name for the name server host itself. Put in something like this: ns IN A 192.168.0.4 Then you may use 'ns.local.lan.' in all your 'IN SOA' entries instead of the name for the actual host. Then you only need to change one entry in case you want to change to another name server host. Also, note that this has to be an 'IN A' entrym not an 'IN CNAME' entry, as the name in the SOA has to be an 'IN A' entry. -- Jo. pgpWctwjUd1k4.pgp Description: PGP signature

21 | tail -n 1 | cut -d' ' -f3-; PROCS=$(grep model
name /proc/cpuinfo); PROC_CNT=$(echo $PROCS | wc -l); echo -n
Processor : ; if [ $PROC_CNT -gt 1 ]; then echo -n ${PROC_CNT}x
; fi; echo $PROCS | head -n 1 | sed -e 's/^model name[[:space:]]*: //';
echo -n CFLAGS USED : ; grep CFLAGS /etc/make.conf | grep -v
'^[[:space:]]*#' | grep -v CXXFLAGS | sed -e 's/CFLAGS=//' -e
's/[[:space:]]*$//'; echo -n CXXFLAGS USED : ; grep
CXXFLAGS /etc/make.conf | sed -e 's/CXXFLAGS=//' -e 's/[[:space:]]*$//'
Which, on my system, gives:
Linux Kernel : 2.6.16-rc4-mm2
GCC version : 3.4.5 (Gentoo 3.4.5, ssp-3.4.5-1.0, pie-8.7.9)
Processor : 4x Dual Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 275
CFLAGS USED : -O2 -pipe
CXXFLAGS USED : ${CFLAGS}
I highly doubt you got your ram line from 'free -t', on my system it gives:
total used free sharedbuffers cached
Mem: 40227043934496 88208 0 2550282858408

Swap: 7992312 11287991184
Total:1201501639356248079392
Which doesn't tell me it'd DDR or SDRAM, nor if I'm using one stick or
many.
Modifying my script to break long CFLAGS and also accent CFLAGS that span
multiple physical lines in make.conf is left as an excersize for the
reader.

It works for globbing as wild cards, but won't work for what he wants

If you want to expand everything from 00 to 99, you want brace

So, what you wanted would be
for AA in {0..9}{0..9}; do echo $AA; done
What you had (for AA in [0-9][0-9]) would be interpreted by bash as:
for AA in {filename that matches the glob [0-9][0-9]}
which, if you don't have any files named like that, will be
for AA in {null string}
and hence the behaviour you saw.

Re: [gentoo-user] Gnome does not mount audio CD
On 3/5/06, Tom Naujokas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Last time I tried putting a CD in the CD drive everything seemed to work OK. The Audio Disc icon appeared on my Gnome desktop, I could click it and see a bunch of wav files corresponding to the tracks on the CD. I really really doubt they were wave files, but probably Gnome had some trick to scan the tracks, Audio CDs are not really mounted, they are directly accessed by the app that plays them... No more. The icon still appears but when I click it I get a Couldn't display cdda:///dev/hda error dialog. Trying to mount the drive manually results in: Well, hmmm, what can I say, /dev/hda? Hmmm, sounds weird, do you use udev? If so, you probably have a /dev/cdrom, try this instead. # mount /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder/ mount: you must specify the filesystem type # mount -t cdfs -r /dev/hda /media/cdrecorder/ mount: unknown filesystem type 'cdfs' You just can't mount it as far as I know... You play them, not mount them. Goolge finds the following link: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20869 This seems to say that cdfs is not even in portage yet. An emerge --searchdesc cdfs confirms this. So what's going on? This worked at one time and I thought that cdfs was the file system that made it work. As for timeframe, I haven't tried this in a while. Since at least before the Gnome 2.12 upgrade.
