Hi 

Questions:
1) How do I disable dnscache? I tried editing 
/etc/init.d/dnscache to turn it off, but which 
package do I need to back up to save this change?

2) We get a lot of broadcast traffic on the external interface 
(eth1) particularly on port 520 and port 69 
- where are the rules that 
log this traffic? How do I turn it off?

I'm running Dachstein 1.02 connecting to a fibre-optic 
ethernet connection to the Internet (on eth1). 
The fibre-optic connection is a switched network 
with a large number of machines on it - rather than 
point-to-point. 

Our ISP's router is one of those machines. 
Quite a few machines on the fibre-optic connection
are running private IP addresses (192.168.* and 10.*).

I modified ipfilter.conf to prevent log_martians 
from logging traffic on the private ranges, but 
I'm not sure about the port 520 and 69 traffic. 
 
Sample /var/log/messages logs:
May 23 22:34:59 firewall kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth1 PROTO=17
203.97.144.54:520 255.255.255.255:520 L=52 S=0xC0 I=0 F=0x0000 T=2 (#32)
May 23 22:35:02 firewall kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth1 PROTO=17
192.168.1.128:9564 255.255.255.255:69 L=49 S=0x00 I=2 F=0x0000 T=255 (#7)
May 23 22:35:02 firewall kernel: Packet log: input DENY eth1 PROTO=17
192.168.1.128:6524 255.255.255.255:69 L=49 S=0x00 I=2 F=0x0000 T=255 (#7)

We run BIND on an internal server, so I've set 
the Dachstein machine to use that - I assume 
we don't need the dnscache, so I've turned it off
to ensure it doesn't generate additional network traffic.
But it keeps reappearing after reboots!

Subject: [leaf-user] Re: creating bering CDROM automatically


Hello,

Jacques put the first version of my script which creates bering-CDs
"automatically" 
into contrib directory. It can be found here:

http://leaf.sourceforge.net/devel/jnilo/bering/latest/contrib/create_iso.sh

As mentioned it does all the steps from the user's guide to configure/create
a
bering cdrom.

Are there any comments ?

Thanks Heinz
