back-resolving by server apps

2001-05-16 Thread Miki Shapiro


Hya'all

Question regarding SuSE and possibly other/all distros: 
some server applications back-resolve the IP of the clients that
connect to them. Is this done by the server application or by an OS
facility? 

It happened to me with ssh2d server.

Can this somehow be disabled?

I have a friend who set up samba and ISDN dial-on-demand, also on SuSE. He
complained that every connection to samba triggered an internet
connection. Can this be related?

thx.

It is done by the application (although, philosophically, you may claim
that by serving the app syscall, it is the kernel).
Usually, it is possible to confiugure the app to avoid it.
For example, you configure Apache to run about twice (!) faster, by the
following directive: "HostnameLookups Off".

Later, even if you need to resolve the whole log file / etc., it is still
much faster than doing it on-the-fly. In addition, doing it later by a
batch program, allows it to use caching.

Regarding the specific configuration for ssh: RTFM.

Nobody promises you that ssh has this option.
If this is the case (no option for ssh), then Read The *** Source. Adding
such an option is one of the simplest things to do (just wrap the func
that reverse resolve the IPs, to do nothing if an environment variable is
set. And don't forget to getenv() only once and save the result in a
static variable).

To add to Eli's reply, all servers which use tcpwrappers (either
standalone or servers being run by inetd via /usr/sbin/tcpd) attempt to
backresolve the IP, in order to match it against the /etc/hosts.allow
and /etc/hosts.deny files.

 It happened to me with ssh2d server.

SSHd (atleast the one shipped with OpenSSH) seems to support both
tcpwrappers (if compiled with LIBWRAP) and resolving on it's own
(ReverseMappingCheck option). I'm not sure whether tcpwrappers support
can be disabled without recompilation.

It has something to do with subnet broadcasts SAMBA uses.

mkisofs and hebrew filenames

2001-05-16 Thread Gavrie Philipson

Hi IGLUers,

I was wondering if anyone here has succeeded in burning CD-Rs with
Hebrew filenames on them, that are readable on that other OS.
Normally, mkisofs (with the -J option to create Joliet directories)
barfs on Hebrew filenames. When adding the option '-jcharset cp862', the
Windows Hebrew filenames are recognized OK, but they are reversed.
This means it's not a charset problem, but probably a bidi problem. I
suspect that the Joliet filenames somehow aren't processed by the
Windows Bidi algorithm in the same way as 'regular' filenames.
Does anyone have experience with this? Is hacking mkisofs to use a bidi
algorithm for the filenames the correct way to solve this?

Regards,

Gavrie.

2001-05-16 Thread Aviram Jenik

Nadav, I disagree with some of the 'excuses' you mentioned as reasons for
downtime. However, there's one that actually made me mad:


  3. Electrical failure - even in Netvision's very reliable server room,
with
 its UPSs, etc., we've had one multi-hour blackout in the last year
(caused,
 if I remember correctly, by some backhoe accident in the Haifa MATAM
area,
 out of Netvision's control).

even in Netvision's very reliable server room?! If an external power
failure brings the Netvision server room down, I wouldn't call it very
reliable! In fact, I wouldn't even call it remotely reliable.
We had a very bad experience with Bezeq Int. with a similar problem
(multiple power failures where their UPS didn't work as planned) which
resulted in our very expensive hard drive being trashed. The worst part in
this incident was that it took us weeks to trace the random crashes to the
faulty hard drive.
The moral of this story (for us) was to place a personal UPS as a backup to
Bezeq Int's UPS backup, which performs an organized shutdown of the machine
when the power is down for over 10 minutes.

However, I think this is pathetic - a server room should provide 99.99%
uptime, including electricity. Every medium sized colocation provider in the
states provides this uptime, but when you talk to Netvision/Bezeq
Int./Barak/Internet Gold about guaranteed uptime they scratch their heads
looking totally puzzled.
I guess it's all a matter of what the customers expect: If customers think
that power failures are act of god that there's nothing to do against except
pray, then there's no reason for Netvision to place reliable UPS services to
keep the server farm up through the power failure.

PP: suggested acronym - STFE

2001-05-16 Thread guy keren


PP = Political Post.

i think we've seen in the past few years that RTFM is often a good
solution to getting to know a subject, while STFE (Search The Fucking
Engine) is often a very good solution to solving specific problems.

i suggest then that using the STFE reply be considered a good advice, just
like RTFM is. as past postings show, very often people could have found
the solution to their problems using a 5-10 minute search on google (thus,
the acronym variant of STFG comes to mind) or on dejanews (now
groups.google.com).

i'm using this opportunity to repeat my plea - please, please _please_
use a search engine before you post your question here. hardly anyone
encounters problems that weren't encountered previously by other people,
and very often, a search on google or google's groups would yield an
answer in a few minutes, as was demonstrated here time and again. your
problem is not unique. people had it before you, and will have it after
you, and they already asked about it somewhere on the net.

if you perform the search and fail to find a solution or answer in a
reasonable time (e.g. 5 minutes or 10 minutes), then no one would hold
that against you if you post the question to the list, _stating_ that you
have searched google and failed to find a solution there. i know that
using a search engine requiers some practice to learn to come up with
proper keywords, but its a skill you own to yourself (and to the rest of
us).

beading you a prosperous STFE,

with?

In the several years that Netvision hosted us, this was (as far as I can
remember) the only unplanned blackout. There was one other planned blackout,
when they switched buildings (they moved about 200 meters south) and the
server had to be physically moved.

I am not sure why during that blackout period their UPS or generators did
not work - I assume the blackout was simply too long (it lasted many hours).
We suffered no physical or other damage to our machine.
Obviously, we've had many blackouts in Haifa in the last few years, and
in all other cases Netvision's UPSs or generators worked well: our machine
typically reaches about 6 months uptime before we reboot it for one reason
or another.

In any case, this server room is reliable enough for me, and I am very
satisfied by it. The other reasons of downtime I stated caused us much more
grief. But if you want, don't run your ICBM launch planner from such a room.

By the way, I wasn't trying to debate whether Netvision is better or worse
than any other ISP. I was emphasising the PC and Linux related issues.

 The moral of this story (for us) was to place a personal UPS as a backup to
 Bezeq Int's UPS backup, which performs an organized shutdown of the machine
 when the power is down for over 10 minutes.

Yes, but that requires more space in the server room, and in the ISP world,
space is money. I never felt the need for a personal UPS over there.

 However, I think this is pathetic - a server room should provide 99.99%
 uptime, including electricity. Every medium sized colocation provider in the

Should it? Remember, 99.99% means 52 minute downtime a year. This is VERY
HARD to achieve - especially for a growing ISP - you have to count planned
and unplanned blackouts (e.g., when you upgrade your generators, electricity
connection, building, etc.).

Achieving 99.99% also for the Internet connectivity is probably completely
impossible (when you have one physical location)!

And in any case, because the availability of the software on our server
was only around 99% (around 3 days of inavalibility each year, much of it
due to overloading and cracking attempts), I don't need a 99.99% guarantee
from the server room... If you were offered a 4-nines colocation facility
for 10 times the price of a 3-nines colocation facility (redundant generators
able to run for a long time cost a FORTUNE), would you take it?

So, can you point us to a colocation company that guarantees 99.99%
availability for a decent price?

 Don't get mad :) I was just giving my own experiences. If you have others,

Please don't take this personally. Every sys admin has a right to define
his/her own 'acceptable' downtime policy. Most people I know will settle for
95% uptime, and many corporates don't really need more than that for their
public web servers.
However, what I'm mad at is the ISPs inability to provide *me* with the
level of quality that I want and need.

 Achieving 99.99% also for the Internet connectivity is probably completely
 impossible (when you have one physical location)!

Nadav, I'm sorry to say, you are used to the Israeli standard of doing
things. Let me tell you a little story that happened to a friend of mine
(Gilad, sorry to steal your thunder); his company was hosting their servers
at a colocation provider in the west coast. Not a huge one, by the way. That
company sent my friend an e-mail one day that was something like:
we are going to move our router two weeks from now at 14:00. This should
not create any problems, since we have an alternative route that will keep
your connection alive transparantely, but it means that for those 30 minutes
your connection will only be through the backup router only, and we will not
have redundancy. Please let us know if this time and date is inconvinient,
and we will reschedule. I can't begin to count how many times our ISP
changed network configurations by surprise which caused problems on the
network (only for a few minutes, true. But why should that happen at all?),
and these guys are warning him that for 30 minutes his network connection
will still work, but through one route only, and it will not be redundant.

Now that's what I call having a high standard.

Another possible thing might be that you'll need to include a

POP DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING (hexadecimal 202C) should apparently do it.
If that's indeed the solution, then I'd hope you'd choose the right

Last week there was a discussion about network sniffing tools. One mentioned was 
ethereal, which is a nice alternative to the venerable tcpdump.

I got it going OK, but it has a silly default of sampling ALL protocols. After 
labouriously switching them all off, but for those I wanted, I found next time 
around, that my setup was not saved anywhere.

Does anyone know where Ethereal puts its configuration/setup files? Maybe 
hacking them might help.

Great idea!
Ilya, can you suggest an E-mail address which can be used to CC someone in
ISOC about Israeli spams?  The idea is that once that person (or persons)
frmo ISOC get loads of spam complaints, they'll start implementing the
appropriate zero tolerance spam policy, using the power of IIX to enforce
it.

Re: Another Windoze only site

2001-05-16 Thread Hetz Ben Hamo

Hi Daniel,

I used jobinfo with Konqueror without any problem

On Konqueror go to Window, Configure Konqueror, user-agent.

You should set: jobinfo.co.il with MSIE and Windows (like MSIE 5.5 on Windows 
NT)

Then close Konqueror, clean the cache (thats on Proxies and cache on the same 
configuration windows) and restart Konqueror.

This should do the trick..

Good Luck,
Hetz

the precaution edpends on the configuration method. if the user modifies
the config file by hand - make a comment IN CAPITAL LETTERS before and
after each such guest entry, and have all entries commented out by
default, so the user actually has to read that file to edit it.

if the configuration is dne by a text script that asks questions in text

which provider they wish to choose from, and better then this - just ask
for their user name and place it there, and do NOT support the guest

 Hello!
 
 Last week there was a discussion about network sniffing tools. One mentioned was
 ethereal, which is a nice alternative to the venerable tcpdump.
 
 I got it going OK, but it has a silly default of sampling ALL protocols. After
 labouriously switching them all off, but for those I wanted, I found next time
 around, that my setup was not saved anywhere.
 
 Does anyone know where Ethereal puts its configuration/setup files? Maybe
 hacking them might help.
 
 (I have searched for *ethereal* in /etc and /usr - nothing helpful.)

_this_ is not a question i would have expected from _you_... surely not
right after the term STFE was coined?

the answer to your question is, ofcourse, STFE. yes, that's right SFTE.
and SFTE for another minute - that'll do the trick.

an SFTE for 'ethereal config file location' on google immediatly yields a
set of reuslts. except for #1 (which is samba) the next are quite relevant
messages.

 as far as i know, the jiffies variable's handling was changed to allow for
 much larger uptimes (at least as far as jiffies is concerned) or years. on

I would be very disappointed if the max uptime is measured in years and this

become at least tenths of years on 64 bits architectures, even if there will 
be no deliberate attempt to fix it.
IMHO this limitation is severe because it should have strong impact on 
machines that are located in remote areas, critical missions machines, 
embedded systems and consumer electronics.
In short, I want to determine the machine behavior and not the other way 
around.

RE: Israeli spammers (Was: goldfish spamming)

2001-05-16 Thread Haim Gelfenbeyn


Hello,
For me, this issue is a little more personal. I'm customer of FixFax
(was before they started their spamming), and because of their spam
want to move to different service, similar to theirs. FixFax's service
is ok, but I'm really enraged by their spamming  (received several
spam e-mails already), and don't want my money to support such
company. What I look for is:

1. Full Linux support (fax received in format readable on Linux (like
standard TIFF), and e-mail message itself should be easily parsable by
script).
2. Prices comparable to FixFax.
3. 03 or 08 dialing zone.

If anyone knows something like that, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance,
Haim.

P.S.: What saddens me is that spam works... I know two people who
subscribed to FixFax service as a result of their spam. I don't know
alternative services, and FixFax service is not bad, after all...

 1. ftp.tau.ac.il:
 Starting from today I am being able to log anonymously to ftp.tau.ac.il.
 I wonder if the few other bezeqint users who have reported to have problems 
 with that site can do that as well.

I called Bezeqint and asked them correct their reverse DNS problem.
The support guy was actually attentive and said he'll get right on it.
It is likely that your sudden ability to connect to tau's FTP site is derived
from the fact that bezeqint remedied their problem. It may also have nothing
to do with it:  
'linux:~$ host 212.179.240.11
Name: bzq-240-11.bezeqint.net
Address: 212.179.240.11

linux:~$ host bzq-240-11.bezeqint.net
bzq-240-11.bezeqint.net does not exist, try again'  

Does your IP address pass the above test? Did it not do so in the past?
I'll call them again today.

Re: Another Windoze only site

2001-05-16 Thread Daniel Feiglin

Hi Hetz!

I found Configure under Settings, and nothing that looked like user-agent.
I'm using Konq V1.9.8 under KDE 2.0.1 straight out of the SuSE 7.1 box.
Have I missed something?

Thanks,

Dan Feiglin

 Hi Daniel,
 
 I used jobinfo with Konqueror without any problem
 
 On Konqueror go to Window, Configure Konqueror, user-agent.
 
 You should set: jobinfo.co.il with MSIE and Windows (like MSIE 5.5 on Windows 
 NT)
 
 Then close Konqueror, clean the cache (thats on Proxies and cache on the same 
 configuration windows) and restart Konqueror.
 
 This should do the trick..
 
 Good Luck,
 Hetz
