Re: correo y conexión
Horacio M.G. decía: para bajar el correo necesito fetchmail; para enviar smail (o sendmail, pero instalé smail); y luego hay otros programas como procmail, qmail, sortmail, metamail, bulkmail, premail, noséquémail... (vale, todos estos son utilidades que se pueden configurar con el correo). Y luego están los programas (¿lectores, editores?) de correo como pine, elm- me+,... Hay esencialmente dos tipos de programas que necesitas: Agente de Transporte de Correo (MTA en inglés): Este tipo de programas implementa el protocolo SMTP que se encarga de enviar y gestionar el correo. Agente de Usuario de Correo (MUA en inglés): Es el programa que usas para leer el correo. Además, se ha hecho muy popular con la explosión en el uso de conexiones no permanentes el POP(2/3)-IMAP que son protocolos de estafeta de correos. Estos protocolos son usados para que gente que no tiene conexión permanente pueda recoger el correo de un casillero. Es como los apartados de correos, yo te envío una carta y correos la mantiene allí hasta que tengas un rato y la recojas. En general *no* envías correo en el apartado de correos sino que vas a un buzón de envío. En TCP/IP los protocolos POP-IMAP son equivalentes a pasarse por el apartado de correos y recoger la correspondencia. De modo esquemático: SMTP - POP2/3 - IMAP --- I I I II TuI I Red I SMTP I ISP I SMTPI I I I -.-.-.-.-I máquina I - --- Tu máquina puede enviar el correo ISP y dejar que éste se encargue de repartirlo por la red o enviarlo directamente a los destinatarios. En el primer caso, la máquina a la que lo envías se llama normalmente smarthost. También el reparto local de correo se efectúa mediante un MTA que usa SMTP para entregarlo. En debian, los MTAs tienen un nombre de paquete virtual mail-transport-agent. Hay muchos de los que los más conocidos son: smail, exim, sendmail, ... (SMTP) En cuanto a los programas para leer el correo, hay muchos también y están agrupados por el nombre de paquete virtual mail-user-agent: mutt, pine, elm-me+, ... Por último, para bajarte el correo desde el ISP (traértelo del apartado de correos) puedes usar fetchmail (IMAP/POP 2/3) Además de eso hay algunas utilidades. La más importante es probablemente procmail de procesador de correo que filtra el correo y reescribe las cabeceras en función de las reglas que especifiques. Este programa es el que usamos la mayoría para que el correo de debian no nos llene el casillero personal. Claro, desde la simplicidad de Win95, tanto nombre-mail confunde muchísimo. Windows95 es un sistema operativo incapaz de actuar de servidor. Los programas están pensados para que hagan el envío (SMTP) recojan el correo entrante (POP/IMAP) en el momento de conexión. Necesitan implementar una cola propia, no pueden repartir correo local y tienen otra serie de limitaciones. En general para una máquina aislada no es *tan* terrible pero a poco que tengas varios usuarios o algo así, empieza a ser una lata. Por demás en unix, la tradición hace que las herramientas sean pequeñas, de funcionalidad clara y capaces de trabajar en común para dar la máxima flexibilidad.

Re: Getting on the internet LCP timeout sending confige request.
1) I think that I had once a problem like the one you describe because the configuration of the mtu/mru numbers didn't fit to the ones that were recieved/transmitted. But I might confusing different issues. 2) I think that sending the relevant lines of the log may help solving any kind of PPP problems. After getting my earlier problems fixed or so it seems with routing, gateways, domains, and DNS when trying to connect to the internet I get disconnected and in my log I get LCP: timeout sending confige request This message may not be exact but it is real close. I went to ppp options and tried to disable lcp icp negoations but I just got more error messages about something being disabled and my script still failed. I also tried through the options file extending how many LCP confige request my machine could send. I even set it to 100 and still ended up timing out. So it seems my machine cannot finish getting connected to my isp because of confige timeout request. Any comments about how to fix this would be appreciated.

Hi, I have just purchased a mylex(buslogic) ultra wide scsi adapter and am in the market for a 4.5 gig ultra wide scsi drive. Could some give me an opinion as to the most dependable, most reasonably priced, and exactly where to buy it. Thanks Alot Rick -- Rick Knebel [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rknebel.csrlink.net --

Re: TCPIP stack needs work?
I'm not really sure. I haven't seen it myself, but they claim that thier ping times (where quake2 ping times are 2 things put together. One the ping between the server and the client. Two it adds simething with the frames per second) get worse as the more clients join. This is understandable, but the amount in which it worsens is greater per client in linux than in free-bsd and linux. This was experimænted on using 12 clients with the same hardware. (ie they installed linux on the server. played a bit. then wiped the dirive and installed free-bsd. then NT) I was thinking that it might be that they are using a netcard that has bwtter drivers for NT/free-bsd than linux has.

The Intel card is a *great* card and I plan to upgrade all my servers to use them. If you can do a slim install of NT (no domain controller, no extra services, no internet info. server, etc.) you will probably see a little more performance than on Linux. Before I ran my FreeBSD vs. Linux tests on my 233 it was running NT 4.0 server. My problem was remote administration and the fact that I had installed all of NT's server goo mentioned above. I'm building another machine and when I do I'll be doing a FreeBSD vs. NT comparison. I really don't want to try to start a pissing contest, but Linux's TCP/IP stack is just a little behind, not by much, but you can tell. When I was running it I'd get people signing off complaining about laggg or too laggy for me or nice f*ckin lag during games and they were on ISDN 3 hops from the server. I know it's true because I have ISDN 3 hops away from the server and my ping to my server would be 500/800 sometimes with only about 12 people on Linux. Two nights ago I played with 15 other people on my machine (FBSD) and my ping was 65/110, people were getting *pissed* hehe, I was an LPB =). What am I saying? It's the *same exact hardware* - you do the math. Maybe it's not in the TCP/IP stack but it's in there (Linux) somewhere! I haven't had a good chance to run NT 4.0 on this hardware so that's my next project. Scott, you may want to try dual booting Linux and NT on your machine and alternate days running each. Log on to the box and watch people's pings, traceroute their IP's to weed out those bozos complaining about lag when they're 25 hops away =), and just watch what people are saying. It helps when you've got a router or a machine (Cisco routers can) that can ping using different patterns of UDP. I'd really be curious to see your experiences with each as I myself am on the hunt for the 'perfect platform' and FreeBSD is merely the 'best so far'. I know I'm nuts but I'm actually thinking about trying Intel Solaris next... =) Just for sh*ts and gr*ns...

How to start PPP?
Okay; I give up on the documentation. Maybe someone on the list can help. I've got a minimal Debian 2.0 system up and running (base install from the floppies and that's it). I've run pppconfig and told it to create a connection named bub. I haven't found any documentation that tells me how to use this connection. I've found several references to running pon, or pppd, and references to chatscript and provider and etc etc etc. I've figured out that if I just type pon the system tries to use the provider connection (which doesn't work, presumably because the provider files aren't properly configured - it gives an error message about /dev/modem being an unrecognized option). But if I type pon bub (which is what I would have thought would've used the bub connection), all that happens is the system thinks for a couple of seconds and then returns me to a prompt. There's no modem activity or messages or anything. Any suggestions as to what I can do different?

NT4, Linux were run on a 200MMX. Solaris was run on Sun Ultra's, including a 5000e. This was just prior to Quake2 being released, so all the testing was done with QW and not with Q2. Heapsizes were set to fixed at 16M if I remember correctly that the version of QW at the time no longer supported the -heapsize cmd. Tic rates were adjusted thru a wide variety of ranges, as well as rate settings and pushlatency. We used a test group of 16 players using cablemodems with only 2 hops from the servers, and they were VERY low packetloss and low latency 50~100ms. No matter what we tried on Solaris, it was slow. It was a very strange sluggish feeling like you were pushing against rubberbands all the time. Nothing we tried could correct this. So we ditched the idea of using Solaris. Linux was better than Solaris. However, NT4 was better than anything we tried. NT4 was installed with a stripped down configuration and many standard/default services were disabled. No browser, server, netbios helper, alerter, messenger, ras, spooler, telephony, etc etc. It was tuned pretty well, and it ran very much noticably better than any of the unix versions we tried. I don't know if this was the fault of the QW port on Unix, or if it was the underlying OS that was causing the problems, and to be completely honest I didn't care because all that mattered in the final analysis was which one ran better for the clients. Our Solaris guru was not able to stomach the results and so we spent extensive time trying to tune the solaris port to beat the NT performance. This guy knows a LOT about Solaris too, since he used to be the regional technical rep for Solaris before he was hired by our ISP. I was able to push ticrates much higher on NT4 and produce incredibly smooth games. Of course you had to have a pretty good connection to play. You could toss a grenade and watch it arc thru the air without ANY jerkiness or missed frames or anything like that. It just looked smooth as glass. So we went with NT4. My current server handles about 150 players before it starts to get unplayable. This is because my cpu's are cooking, and I need to upgrade to faster processors. I am looking at the PentiumII Overdrive. If it can be run in a 4way SMP box like a proliant, then it might make a really good setup for running many more Q2 ports. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rhomboid Goatcabin Sent: Tuesday, September 15, 1998 5:21 PM To: Quake 2 Servers Subject: [q2servers] Re: Best option for performance Do try the Intel pro/100+, I moved a news server and a web server, both running FreeBSD, to the pro/100+ from 3Com cards (a 905A and a 905B) and all my alignment, port, and packet requeues went away.

Now pon is doing the same thing; the system thinks for a minute and then returns me to the prompt. When I do a ps a, it shows that /usr/bin/ppd call provider and usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/chatscripts/provider are running on tty S1 with a stat of S and a time of 0:00. If I wait a couple of minutes and do another ps a, they are no longer there.

(forw) [q2servers] Re: Best option for performance
[snip everything] In the first test, I noticed they were using intel etherexpress pro cards. I don't mean to start a verbal holy war, or say anything about the cards themselves, but I've heard from many people that the linux driver support for these cards is (much) less than optimal. My recomendation for an excelent card at a decent price is something supported by the tulip driver, such as the DEC 21140's. I haven't done any testing, but I've been very impressed with mine. John

Either way, it's beta/unstable software. In general, I had difficulties with that netscape and input fields, e.g. if I was using Deja News, my queries would have some of what I wanted, and a bunch of random garbage would be appended to what I entered. I trashed both of those Netscapes eventually (4.5b1 and Mozilla 5.0), and now I'm using Netscape 4.06 compiled for glib2 Linux, works great (I also used/use the Debian installer/wrapper). Good luck!

I have installed Debian 2. four times this evening. I am trying to install the Office version, [not 'home' or 'development' selections] when I answered correctly the cryptic prompt asking how I want to select the packages to install on the CD. After the Install of dselect, it goes to configure and things progress appropriately UNTIL the creation of the XF configuration file. The error dialog says: Do you want to create XFree86 configuration file [ I answer 'Y' ] /usr/bin/X11/XF86Setup: error in loading shared libraries library Xaw lib Xaw.s0.6 cannot open shared object library: no such file or directory the /etc.X11/XF86Config was not created When I am again asked: Do you want to create XFree86 configuration file [ I answer 'Y' ] It loops through the above. Two previous times it complained that: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinitrc/xinitrc missing the /etc/X11/XF86Config was not created Before configuration in the first example, /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinitrc/xinitrc , was there, but I got the shared library error. The other times I got the last example. I have a Pent. 2, 300 MHz, 64 M of ram and 1,900 native and 190 swap Linux partitions. The CD source is Official Debian 2.0 Binary i386. When I entered into the loop precipitated by above loop in example 1, I executed a Control/Alt/Delete, so I can mess with the system and try dselect Configure again. I hope it picks it up. If not, I will install Debian from DOS again, but fear it will miss something each time. The trouble is in the creation of the XF86Config . TIA, Bob Barth EMAIL: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Kernel questions
Dear Debs, I have just succeeded in compiling a new kernel using make menuconfig make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image dpkg -i ../kernel-image... and I have a couple of questions, just to understand things better: in /boot, I have vmlinuz-2.0.34 and no ``old'' vmlinuz has been saved; I had copied the original Debian 2.0.34 kernel to Debianvmlinuz-2.0.34 and made a symbolic link to it from / (everything works with lilo). Why does the original kernel have permissions -rwxr-xr-x, while the new one (vmlinuz-2.0.34) has -rw-r--r--? Now there are the two files System-map-2.0.34 and config-2.0.34: why there were none before? My old /lib/modules/2.0.34 had been renamed to *.save and it contained a subdirectory pcmcia; the new /lib/modules/2.0.34 doesn't. I need to use an ethernet PCMCIA card (ACCTON EN 2212) which has always worked well with the original Debian kernel: have I missed anything in menuconfig? Is it created the first time I use the card (I am presently at home and will try it only on monday)? Among the options I think might be relevant to this question, I have selected CONFIG_NET, CONFIG_MODULES, CONFIG_KERNELD, CONFIG_INET, CONFIG_NETDEVICES, CONFIG_NET_ETHERNET (is this needed for PCMCIA or only for internal cards, by the way? In the subsequent entries for card types, I found no mention of PCMCIAs; in the Ethernet-HOWTO there is no mention about compiling options for the ACCTON EN 2212: hence I selected no special card support. Should I have selected CONFIG_NET_ISA? In the PCMCIA HOWTO, it is said that only networking support should be specified), CONFIG_BLK_DEV_IDE_PCMCIA (not as a module: is that the problem?). Thank you.

I have tried out ftape from the ftape archives without very much success on an Iomega Ditto 2Gb. Now I have removed that ftape from my system and want to see how the ftape that comes with Debian 2.0 works. I know it comes from the same source, but I have trouble configuring debian's version. What I have done: I have recompiled my kernel (2.0.34) to include ftape support and change Makefile in /usr/src/linux-2.0.3.4/drivers/char/ftape: # This enables some (most?) 2Mbps controllers: FDC_OPT = -DFDC_BASE=0x370 -DFDC_IRQ=6 -DFDC_DMA=3 When I try to do a ftmt -f /dev/qft0 status I get ftmt: /dev/qft0: Operation not supported by device I then installed the ftape module and -utils packages from the binary CD. The same happens with the following output in /var/log/messages: Sep 17 10:48:29 Johann kernel: ftape-2.08 960314 Sep 17 10:48:29 Johann kernel: (c) 1993-1995 Bas Laarhoven ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Sep 17 10:48:29 Johann kernel: (c) 1995-1996 Kai Harrekilde-Petersen ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Sep 17 10:48:29 Johann kernel: (c) 1996-1997 Claus Heine ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Sep 17 10:48:29 Johann kernel: QIC-117 driver for QIC-40/80/3010/3020 tape drives Sep 17 10:48:29 Johann kernel: Compiled for kernel version 2.0.34 with versioned symbols Sep 17 10:48:30 Johann kernel: [000]fdc-io.c (fdc_config) - Using fdc controller at alternate address.

Might it be you should define slightest :-) Our listserver count the bounces someone is having at (actually) at the count of 10 he unsubscribes him from the particular list. debian-user is a high-traffic list and the count of 10 is reached easily. I've been watching this thread. Now that you've replied, Hanno, I wish to add my voice to support the original complaint. A while ago, your list server wrote to me: ***Your mail address [EMAIL PROTECTED] has been removed ***from the debian-user@lists.debian.org mailinglist. ***It generated an excessive amount of bounced mails. ***From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***Subject: failure notice *** ***Hi.

Sorry it didn't work out. *** ***[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ***130.88.200.93 does not like recipient. ***Remote host said: 550 relaying to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***prohibited by administrator ***Giving up. On the other hand, nothing seemed to be wrong when I myself looked into our local mail system (and specifically 130.88.200.93, which DID like me). Why so?? I asked my local admin friend. To which the reply was: ***This was a temporary problem between 0700 and about 0930 yesterday ***morning. I had a real tantrum about it... but it won't've done any ***good... So, as a contribution to you should define slightest :-) I offer the above snippet of empirical evidence -- namely a temporary local misconfiguration lasting a mere 2-1/2 hours can cause people to be dropped from the mailing list, and have to re-subscribe. Now I know you have a big mailing list there, which inevitably generates many bounces because of the amount of traffic. However, the important parameter in determining whether a user is really unmailable is not the _number_ of bounces but the length of time, combined with the reason, for which the remote address generates bounces. So, therefore, a retry bounce generated say every 5 hours usually indicates that some host on the route is temporarily down, and re-try for at least 24 hours (and most mailers keep trying for up to 5 days) is in order. On the other hand, an unknown-user bounce is more indicative of genuine unmailability. Even so, on one of the lists I run (which has several subscribers in the FSU, Central Asia and Turkey) it is not uncommon for an address to become unknown user for a few days at a time, and then to rise again from the ashes when someone out there puts the system right again. So (admittedly on a list with under 1000 members) my own policy is to check that it remains unknown user for at least 5 days. Similarly (but for a longer period) for mailbox full bounces. Admittedly such an approach is far more feasible using bare hands when there are few users. But nowadays list-server software can be prgrammed to handle these things more automatically, and the above-mentioned mailing list (which now runs under L-Soft LISTSERV) automatically probes suspect addresses for a while, repeatedly, without involving the list itself, and automatically removes persistently recalcitrant adresses, where persistently is of course configurable and could be anything from a few hours to a few weeks. What is finally needed for a smooth integration with the list itself is for the list server to set suspect addresses to no-mail or equivalent on the list itself, so that the list does not generate bounces; meanwhile the list server probes in the background. If the address comes back to life, then the address is restored to mail on the list and all is well. Otherwise, in due course the list server removes the address (or sends a message to the list-owner requesting approval for removal). Either way, however, junking users who become unmailable for very short periods (such as the above) is definitely unreasonable, in my opinion. I hope this is a helpful contribution to the discussion.

netscape4 mail reader
Are you using the netscape communicator or the navigator package? Starting with version 4 the navigator package does NOT include the mail reader, ONLY the browser. The communicator package includes the browser, mail reader (icon is a little envelope at the lower right of screen), and a composer (fair html editor for creating web pages). --- Since upgrading to 4.02 I've noticed two things. The first is that 4.02 seems to be a lot slower than v3, and the second is that I must run v3 to read my mail since I still haven't been able to get exmh to putt mail from my ISP. Could some kind soul tell me which of the 4.02 buttons is concealing the mail reader? I'd go back to uucp/xmail but my ISP uses some crap called NT for their mail server and they don't have a clue about uucp and I haven't had time to write a perl pop3 mail puller. _ DO YOU YAHOO!?

How to start PPP?
1: the documentation for ppp is in the man pages, which you probably have not installed? 2: the correct way to start ppp is 'pon connect-name' where connect-name is the name of the service you gave when you ran pppconfig. 3. I seem to have a similar problem. The mystery became clear when I started ppp from an XTerm. I had an xconsole open and all the 'debug' messages from pppd were piped into the xconsole by default so I could see what was happening. There should be a way to get this to happen from a tty console as well. In my case it appears that my serial ports sometimes don't get initialized correctly the first time. Under debian 1.3.1 starting pon pppd would time out after about a minute, then be restarted and would dial out on the modem. Under debian 2.0 I have to start pon, then kill the process (pppd), then start pon again to get it to work. Using pon, poff, then pon again also works. 4. Are you using the right serial port? /dev/ttyS0 (com1), or /dev/ttyS1 (com2)? /dev/modem should be a symlink to one of the above. DONT USE /dev/cuaX !!! -- Okay; I give up on the documentation. Maybe someone on the list can help. I've got a minimal Debian 2.0 system up and running (base install from the floppies and that's it). I've run pppconfig and told it to create a connection named bub. I haven't found any documentation that tells me how to use this connection. I've found several references to running pon, or pppd, and references to chatscript and provider and etc etc etc. I've figured out that if I just type pon the system tries to use the provider connection (which doesn't work, presumably because the provider files aren't properly configured - it gives an error message about /dev/modem being an unrecognized option). But if I type pon bub (which is what I would have thought would've used the bub connection), all that happens is the system thinks for a couple of seconds and then returns me to a prompt. There's no modem activity or messages or anything. Any suggestions as to what I can do different? Thanks! _ DO YOU YAHOO!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com

Boot Problem
Well, I loaded Debian from floppy. However, while it boots from the boot floppy fine, when I try to boot from the hd, it doesn't appear to load anything, and stops at a 1FA: prompt (to which nothing can be typed). Also, do I have to load the drivers for the serial ports, or is that automatically included in the install with no action from my part? I saw an entry for serial ports (with three numbers in parenthesis), and installed it (could that be my problem?) I confirmed the request to make the hd bootable, so logically, everything should pop right up. Mike

Re: Boot Problem
Viola! Success. That was rather strange. After booting with the floppy, I went and executed lilo like you said (actually I went to bin rather than sbin, but it worked anyway), rebooted sans floppy, and it booted without hesitation. What did I miss? At the end of the install, where you were given a chance to boot with either hard drive or floppy, I chose HD both times - should I have chosen floppy first instead? Everything elses loaded without a hitch - now I have to find a way to transfer all them neat packages via floppy. Fun.

Please Help me figure out this PPP - NT RAS thing?

Re: ftape
Johann, The version of ftape in the 2.0.x kernels is much older than that on the ftape archives. 3.04d is the first version to support the Ditto 2GB drive, but I understand there are still problems. The latest is 4.02. As Claus-Justus says on his web page: If you intend to use Iomega's Ditto 2GB then you'll need ftape-3.04d.tar.gz or later. But I recommend that you get the latest version instead. It absolutely won't work with older versions of the driver.

Now I have removed that ftape from my system and want to see how the ftape that comes with Debian 2.0 works. I know it comes from the same source, but I have trouble configuring debian's version.

Kernel(-package) mysteries
Dear Debs, this is my second list of questions about kernel compilation and modules mysteries. I apologize for repeating part of the content of the previous message, but I prefer to leave it for clarity. I have just succeeded in compiling a new kernel using make menuconfig make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image dpkg -i ../kernel-image... My old /lib/modules/2.0.34 had previously been renamed to *.save and it contained a subdirectory pcmcia; the new /lib/modules/2.0.34 doesn't: /lib/modules/2.0.34 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 17 10:35 cdrom drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 17 10:35 fs drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 17 10:35 ipv4 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 17 10:35 ipv6 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 17 10:35 misc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 133 Sep 17 12:41 modules.dep drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 17 10:37 net drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Sep 17 10:35 scsi Moreover, some of these directories are empty, while the corresponding ones for the original Debian-2.0.34 modules were not: e.g., ./cdrom is empty; the old one had 12 files (I have an IBM Thinkpad 760 CD, usually with the floppy drive in it, not the CD drive: is cdrom.o the file I should have here?). Even worse: fs is empty, the old one had lots of files (I have selected only a few with make menuconfig, e.g., nls_cp850 and nls_iso8859_1, but they are not there). Finally, ./net contains -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5364 Sep 17 10:35 bsd_comp.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2064 Sep 17 10:35 dummy.o -rw-r--r-- 1 root root25620 Sep 17 10:35 ppp.o Hence, something has been written into these directories, after all: by which program? Do I need to do some ``make modules'', ``make install_modules'' or is make-kpkg followed by dpkg -i newkernel.deb enough? I left the original Debian kernel in /boot and I can indeed boot with it using lilo: how does this kernel find (make use of) its /lib/modules/whatever if this directory has been renamed to /lib/modules/2.0.34.save? If the kernel does not need to read /lib/modules/2.0.34 in order to work, who uses it? All I need is 1) an ethernet PCMCIA card (ACCTON EN 2212) once a week while at my institute; 2) ISDN from home (not tried yet); 3) the cdrom drive (very rarely, hopefully not for a full reinstall); 4) a dos directory (which works); 5) dosemu (not yet tried). I have selected the necessary compiler options for all of these, I think. My /etc/modules contains the following: #auto cdrom ppp This is my /boot/config-2.0.34 file: is it all right for my needs?

Network tracing software
Hello, Are there any network tracing packages available for Debian? What I'm looking for is something that will keep track of network activity and keep a log of what connections are being made to my system (as well as where my systems are calling out to). I have a ISDN router that was activating itself when nobody was talking to the internet. After a ton of searching, I discovered that one of the win95 PC's had Real Player G2 installed and it was calling home from time to time... Pretty expensive on the ole phone bill... Thanks, Doug
