Jay,
First a BIG thank-you! That has been the most useful information that I've
received in a week!
Ad far as NAT'ing concerned, that's not an option, as far as I can see
anyways. The 100 or so web domains have external ip's, by the time I change
them all to internal addresses and make the necessary dns table
changes....well you know what I mean. Unless I'm not quite following what
your saying it looks like the only option is purchasing a firewall
appliance. If you have any other ideas or some sort of configuration
epiphany I'd love to hear it! Thanks again....

Subject: Re: I would like to register a complaint ...
Date: Wed, 04 Apr 2001 15:24:46 -0400
Pardon my $0.02 worth...
It seems we're talking about two different things here,
namely "formatting" a partition versus "clearing" it.
Most of the time, unless we're seriously interested in
thoroughly deleting data on a partition for security's
sake, we just want to format the partition to create a
usable filesystem on it.
Here's an admittedly feeble but still understandable
analogy: suppose you wanted to build a 100-lane
superhighway. First step would be to clear the land
and pave it. That's not enough to make it a usable
highway, as there are no lane markings. Imagine the
unmarked strip of pavement as the unformatted
partition. (Yes, I know it's not a good analogy, as
there may be random data in an unformatted partition,
which would be analogous to detritus on the highway;
I *said* it was a feeble analogy, okay?;) Now, paint
the stripes. This makes a raw strip of pavement into
usable channels for traffic.
Now, imagine a raw disk surface. It's organized into
tracks, sectors, and sides. However, this is not
enough to be able to store data on it other than in
an extremely raw form; there is no organization.
The filesystem is the organization imposed on the
raw disk structure to make it usable. Depending on
what kind of filesystem you're using (DOS, vfat,
ext2, Mac, whatever), the internal details will be
different.
Now, to the question originally asked... you don't
need to put zeroes on every sector of the disk in
order to be able to use it. In fact, this should
actually result in a non-readable partition, because
there is no organization information written... no
"stripes on the road". Making a filesystem under
DOS is easy: you use the "format" command. It's just
as easy under Linux: you use the "mke2fs" command.
Once you do mke2fs to a partition, you must mount
it. Voila: the space is there waiting to be used.
Hope this helps.
> > So you say you have "formatted" an ext2 fs using these two commands:
> > cat /dev/zero > /dev/hdxX (assuming, of course, hdxX is mounted)
In actuality, you *shouldn't* try to make a filesystem on a partition
that's already mounted. Unmount it first, then do mke2fs, then re-
mount it.

Well can you play mp3's or wav files or the like?
Yes: Check your CD audio cable that should go from your sound card to the CD
drive (4 pin connector, 2 wires). You need one of these to be able to play CDs.
No: Run sndconfig and see what it tells you....

I admit: I never heard of these files. What about deleting
(renaming) them all?
Maybe you have a look at the man pages to see which
is the order in which the files are accessed. I know it's similar
with the host.allow and host.deny files.

I don't know Debian. Maybe it's the same problem I had with AIX:
the server machine has to know its NFS clients by name, i.e. put the
new machine in the /etc/hosts file of the server machines, or put it
in the DNS, which can be reached by the server machines.

E.g., if you have an interface eth0, you can create a second interface
eth0:1
(or is it eth0:0 under Linux?). I once did this under Solaris 8, where you
have to use the ifconfig command to create this interface. I don't know how
it works under Linux. Try consulting the ifconfig man pages.

Permission denied would suggest some kind of access restrictions on the
debian machine. Are the suse computers correctly included in the exports
file? See "man exports"
#/etc/exports
/home 192.168.0.2(ro,root_squash) 192.168.0.3(rw,root_squash)
If they are, has the NFS daemon on the debian machine been made aware
that the exports file has been updated? Use "exportfs -r".
Are there other security features on the debian machine which would
restrict access to either the nfs daemon, or portmapper. Maybe some
entries in your firewall rules, or in the /etc/hosts.[allow,deny] files?
