Anyone interested is encouraged to attend, and as always, we welcome newcomers and old-hands alike. The presentation will be preceded by the usual informal dinner downstairs, and followed by the usual general chit-chat and QA. The Domain Name System (DNS) is a mechanism that lets computers on the Internet (including yours!) find each other. I intend to cover basic DNS concepts, including purpose, structure, and record types. I will then go over how name resolution actually works on a typical Linux system. Time permitting, I want to get into how one configures ISC BIND's named to be a DNS server. Audience feedback will determine the pacing, so if you have an interest or a problem to solve, please bring it with you. === About the speaker === Ben is a local Linux user, enthusiast, and advocate.

Lloyd will describe how to use a WRT54G to act as a Linux firewall, demonstrate the tools, and describe the VLAN topology he used to rescue a poor, broken Windows system. Under fire!

Monadlug November Meeting Notes
November's meeting of MonadLUG was held on Thursday evening as usual. Attending were Charlie Farinella, Tim Lind, Bill Freeman, Bill Sconce, Chris Maple, and Ken Campbell, our gracious host. Because Guy Pardoe was called away we conducted the meeting somewhat as a steering committee, making plans on the spot for the next few meetings. Bill Sconce will line up speakers for January and February. After consideration of the upcoming holidays we decided to not have a December meeting, so the next MonadLUG meeting will be January's. Charlie will post announcements to GNHLUG as soon as Bill has the lineup of speakers. The evening's technical content was man page of the month on less -- delivered by Bill Sconce. Check out the F command! (less has a follow-the-file-as-it-grows submode.) Thanks to Bill for some *very* useful information. Next meeting's man page of the month will be on sort, presented by Chris Maple. Everyone sends regards to Guy Pardoe, and our thanks for the outstanding continuity he has been providing for MondadLUG. We look forward to welcoming him back at meetings, even if his schedule doesn't permit being Coordinator. -- Charles Farinella Appropriate Solutions, Inc.

GIMP 2.0 is a major new release with exciting features. I want to do a valuable and exciting presentation on the topic -- but only if there is interest. If someone else wants to do a different topic, my feelings will not be hurt at all. That's why I am polling. I'm leaving today to go to VA for a week's vacation so I need feedback quickly.

tape drive error
I've started getting the following error when trying to back up to tape: Write not multiple of tape block size I need help interpreting what this means and what I might do about it. I've run a bunch of diagnostic tests on the drive, and have gotten mixed (inconsistent) results, so I kind of think it's hardware failure, but I still would like to know what the message is telling me. This has worked for a year and a half, and I haven't changed anything that I am aware of. HP C1536a DDS tape drive. --charlie -- Charles Farinella Appropriate Solutions, Inc.

It allows you to cd into that directory. If the x bit is off, scp won't work. Sorry Charlie. =8^) (Remember those old StarKist ads?) I should have known.
