The PCI-based 802.11b Prism chipset cards cost roughly twice what a discounted real AP would cost from an online vendor. The nice thing about my linux based AP is that, unlike every proprietary AP I've used, it doesn't randomly lose settings, crash, require some crummy web interface, contain stupid backdoor security problems, etc. My AP also mails me when it sees new clients, has powerful packet filtering and andwidth throttling capailities, and can be upgraded with apt-get. Hmm, I wonder if you've been using the combined AP/Router things. My three standard AP's (no routing capabilities and NO intelligence on-board - Linksys WAP-11's) have worked fine for years... I have a version 1, 1.2, and 2. Agreed that the AP/Router things are a giant pain. The only one I'd consider is the new Linksys one that runs Linux under the hood and lots of people have alternate flash images for. (That one looks fun.) What exactly is the problem with the wireless routers? I was just about to buy one and would like to know more about you experiences. Loose settings, crash? That doesn't sound good. I was hoping to make it easier for myself by having all that stuff separated from my linux machine. Should I not? My experience it this: Bought an Zyxel ZyAIR B-2000v2 last year around this time. It was awful (maybe I was just unlucky and got a bad unit. dunno). It would crash in no time when I tried forcing the external NIC to run at a particular speed and duplex (the ZyAIR would not auto-negotiate with the cable modem I had at that time). Also, it would lose its configuration over and over again and return to default/factory values. Returned it to the shop after 2 days doing nothing but trying to get it behave properly. Since then I have been using a small Linux machine as wireless AP, and this just makes it so much easier to really be in control of your AP. -- Frederik Dannemare | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Frederik+Dannemare http://frederik.dannemare.net | http://www.linuxworlddomination.dk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Amavisd-new works great with postfix and sendmail but the last time i
tried to use amavisd-new in combination with courier it was nearly
impossible. With a lot of hacks in the amavis-code i accomplished
what i wanted but it's far away from a clean setup and most
important: i could only use parts of the full amavis functionality.
This was half a year ago and hopefully there had been some
improvements in either amavis or courier, or someone with more
perl-experience than I found a solution?
I couldn't find anything useful in the web so I'm trying it here. If
anyone can give me some tips i would be very grateful.

in fact be bits of pieces missing in this 'recipe'. Anyhow, here goes:
# Install amavisd-new with all dependencies
sudo apt-get install amavisd-new
update-rc.d -f amavis remove
update-rc.d amavis defaults 21 21
# Now fetch sources, courier patch, and rebuild

Okay... that gives me an opening to try this again. At the risk of provoking the usual WELL GO RUN WINDOWS THEN!!! knee-jerk reaction, I will mention that the Gatesware-based firewall packages (like Zone Alarm) will detect *outgoing* connection attempts and query whether they are legitimate. Query how? Based on what rules it an outgoing connection allowed/disallowed? There has been some dicsuscion on the net w/r/t the fact that apparently the later (per)versions of Gatesware have some trojans embedded in the OS, which will connect to Billsoft to report your social security number, sexual preference, etc. etc. - the point being that (allegedly) the commercial firewall products can't detect such attempts to phone home. In any case, I've as yet been unable to find any way of getting detection and authorization of outgoing requests with any of the Linux firewalls, or with IPtables - although I can hardly say that I've thoroughly done my homework - but I have asked here and there and thus far no one seems to know. The Paradigm seems to be that if it's something that got spawned on your machine, and is trying to connect outward, it by definition must be legitimate, so it gets granted a port, unless whatever port it is requesting is *already* explicitly blocked by iptables or whatever for some reason. Using 'policy drop' for outgoing traffic, and then explicitly allowing certain traffic would do what you want, if I understand your question correctly. Try using something like firehol (firehol.sf.net), where it's really easy and convinient to define rules. (Okay, now, everybody yell in unison: WELL GO RUN WINDOWS THEN!!!) There's several aspects of this that you have overlooked regarding just the basics of iptables and the state of TCP/IP today. First, iptables can be configured such that filtered port traffic can be directed into userspace wherein you can do anything you would like to with them, including adding rules to permit their traffic. The methods by which you could query outgoing traffic is numerous with or without iptables. But more importantly you have to understand that you cannot block and query all traffic going out from your computer. If you did that, you would block FTP for the majority of environments. Namely, passive mode FTP which was popularized by Microsoft. Prior to this everyone had the notion of connection through the control and data ports which were traceable and identifiable. Passive mode FTP allows you to make a high port connection to another high port connection. Both of these port numbers are not defined until the connection is attempted. This connection cannot be filtered in iptables because you have to create a high-port to high-port connection ACCEPT rule in order for passive mode to work. [ snip ] Why not just use connection tracking? Load the ip_conntrack_ftp module and create proper iptables rules. Iptables will then be able to recognize the high-port connection as RELATED to the original connection to port 21.

Enable mod_rewrite (if it's not already):
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load .
Then add somethign like this to your sites-available/default:
IfModule mod_rewrite.c
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog /tmp/rewrite.log
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(index.html)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(picture1.jpg)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(picture2.jpg)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(stylesheet.css)$
RewriteRule ^.+$ http://your.apache.box/index.html [R,L]
/IfModule
Restart Apache...
Disable RewriteLog (or certainly lower RewriteLogLevel) when you have
things the way you want them. Otherwise, the log file will grow really
big in no time.
Read more about mod_rewrite at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html. It's a rather
complex module that can do all sorts of rewriting.

Re: ASUS motherboard

Others may disagree. But you could start out with this kernel on a test machine or something, before putting it on a production server. I would do this for any kernel. 2. Would you be willing to share the config file you used to get UDMA support? you may find it at http://sentinel.dk/config-2.4.20-pre8-ac3 look for options with IDEDMA and SIS5513.

Re: ASUS motherboard
Jim McCloskey wrote: Has anyone any experience of the ASUS P4 S533 motherboard under Debian? In particular, I've been trying to reassure myself that the onboard LAN controller is supported, and have wandered all over the net seeking reassurance. I'm still not sure. The LAN controller is described as an SiS 961. Does anyone know for sure whether or not this is handled properly by the sis900 ethernet driver? Any other experience or observations? I got my P4S533 in July. Great and stable board! The onboard LAN and sound is supported in standard marcello kernels, but you'll need a newer -ac kernel (I use 2.4.20-pre8-ac2), if you want to be able to use NVIDIA's 3D accel. drivers via AGPGART. Finally I can play UT2003demo on my P4S533. ;) The 2.4.20-pre8-ac2 also gave me UDMA support for the SIS5133 onboard IDE controller. With a standard 2.4.18 kernel (not supporting SIS5133) I only got 3 MB/sec for disk reads (tested with hdparm -tT). With the new 2.4.20-pre8-ac2 and UDMA enabled I get 46 MB/sec. /frederik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
