Re: [LUAU] IP address on Cable

Use the firewall that comes with windows and use a cheap router to nat  only  
those ports that need to be exposed. Use firefox with noscript and download  
a couple of malware cleaners and run them both to clean up the box. Update  
his norton and his system and any other app.

Subject: [LUAU] IP address on Cable

Aloha,

Does anyone on the list have experience with a firewall on an Oceanic 
cable feed? Linux or Freebsd is what I use,.but I only have experience 
with firewalls on Telcom lines.


I am trying to help a guy with a Windows 7 box.  He has netflix on this 
cable too so it may have a fixed IP.


He gets attacked a lot with viruses and other weirdness even with Norton 
on the box.


Any suggestions appreciated.

Re: [LUAU] Add dhcp wlan on existing static lan

2011-02-13 Thread Jon Reynolds

Hi Al,

Give the wireless AP a static IP and create a scope that doesn't  
interfere with what you are using for your desktops. So if your  
desktops are all in the 192.168.1.100 - 192.168.1.120 range set the  
dhcp server to only give out addresses that are not in that range. A  
better idea might be to use vlans so that when a laptop does come on  
to your network, if it is compromised or infected, it will not be able  
to infect the rest of your network.


Hope that helps,

Jon

Hello MythTV converts,

There was a question about a remote control to use with Myth. Last night 
I figured out how to get the ATI Remote Wonder to work with lirc and 
Myth. The cool thing about this remote is that it is RF instead of IR, 
it uses a little a receiver plugged into a USB port.


If any one is interested I can post my lirc.conf and my lircrc files and 
give a quick howto to make it work.


Here is a link to purchase the remote:

MythTV runs on several VIA-based mini-itx boards at lower clock speeds,

I am using the remote that comes with the Hauppauge 150.  We thought it

not, he has some links to some sites that will get you fixed up.

I went out and bought a All-In-One remote so I could also control my tv

We were fooling around with one file, not sure if that is the one.  When 
the box is booting up everything displays fine on the TV, you can see 
all the commands etc, right when the GUI kicks in, the TV picture is 
solid blue. 


That is definitely an out of range issue, make sure you only use 640x480 
when trying to output to your tv. (couple minutes later) I seem to have 
800x600 in my xorg.conf file, so now I am unsure if 800x600 will work or 
not. Try them both but the blue screen is 'out of range'.


Can you share your xorg file?  Is it file different depending on the 
video card?


It is attached, for your viewing pleasure. :)

This definitely seems to be the case in Hawaii but
there's probably a bit more to it.  Vegas has a major
marketing campaign going on these days about what
happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.  Exactly which part
of that is about serious business?  And yet major
business conventions, tech and otherwise, are held in
Vegas on a regular basis year after year (Comdex
anyone?).
 

Comdex, CES and to some extent NAB are all in Vegas because noplace else 
could 'hold' them.


Things have changed since 9/11 and the dot-com crash, but as of Y2K, the 
above was an absolutely true statement, and had been for several years.


Also, the hotels in Vegas have a business model that doesn't require 
the rake from just room rate + FB.



Same is true about the theme parks in Orlando (Disney,
Epcot, Universal...).  Lot's of fun in the sun there
but it really doesn't stop serious business in the
form of conventions from ocurring regularly.

The dirty little secret about conventions is that
there is _always_ a junket aspect to them and it
doesn't matter whether you're in Minnesota in January
or the Bahamas (or Hawaii).
 

This is also true, but there is a serious perception that Hawaii is 
all about going to the beach.
I still have people assume that, because I've moved to Hawaii,  I must 
have gotten rich at one of the
dot-bombs Jamie or I worked for, bought beachfront property and dropped 
out of the rat race.


I wish.


It's serious business but not business as usual or
ordinary, just different (it's about networking and
taking a break from the rat race that you usually deal
with in Oshkosh or wherever, and refreshing yourself
with new ideas).

In the case of Hawaii, I wonder if it's also about
cost and perception as much as anything else (i.e.,
it's expensive to fly those extra 3K miles from the
left coast and Hawaii simply isn't regared as a
significant tech area).
 

The two coasts have large 'tech' populations, and its cheap to fly them 
from Seattle to San Jose or Boston to Orlando.


The tech population in Hawaii is in the error margin.   (Many of us 
would like to, or think its importat to change this.)


As a result you have to import *everything* to hold a big convention here.

I still think that Hawaii's 'tourist' industry is in big trouble (and 
Hawaii with it) if energy costs continue to climb, making travel more 
expensive (on top of everything at home more expesive, both for the 
toursts who won't be coming here (perhaps as often) as well as 
Hawaii's residents (since we import nearly 100% of what we consume' 
here in Hawaii.)


Without the tourists, the big timeshare projects (such as Ko'olina) will 
shut down.   The real estate market is already getting soft, while the 
Fed is expected to raise the prime rate for the 14th time tomorrow, 
likely further impacting the real estate market.


The segment of our economy  that is based on land development and the 
housing bubbles may soon be finished. We are going to have to make other 
arrangements for running our state and employing all the people who are 
currently enjoying the 'trickle down' of all the housing turns and 
construction.


What happens to Hawaii if (I should say 'when', but I'm in a gentle 
mood) gas goes to $5/gallon, with conmesurate cost increases in our food 
(guess what, its almost all imported from 3,000 miles away?), and 
electricity?   I'll stay well away from any predictions of collapse 
here, but in simple terms, the dollars that are spent on higher gas 
prices, higher electricity bills and higher totals in the check-out line 
at Safeway and Foodland will simply be unavailable for other things.


If tourism falls off by half (because the prices will go up on the 
mainland and in Japan as well), then the tax base will contract.   There 
will be layoffs as marginal resturants and other portions of the tourism 
industry closer to the 'edge' close, and other, healthier tourism-based 
businesses shed workers who are unnecessary because of the reduced load 
of tourism, or simply to make ends meet when there is less gross income 
for those buinesses.


As the tax base contracts, there will be fewer dollars available for CC 
and the state to spend on things like roads and education.   Hawaii is 
already in fairly poor shape on both of these fronts (I won't mention 
the water or sewage systems other than in-passing.)


So how do we replace those dollars?   Hawaii is geographicly 
undesirable for a manufacturing business.   We don't have the cheap 
labor market that India, Taiwan or


I saw a posting for an embedded linux / software engineer in Portland, 
OR today.   They were offering $12/hr for 20 hours/week.  It was 
contact, so no 'bennies', and they were promising a raise to $15/hr when 
they get funding (unlikely in my view).

I also use partimage to re-image my lab systems. There are a few problems with
partimage that I hope will be worked out eventually but so far it is the closest
thing to Ghost that I have found. If there is encryption or compression on the
disk it will not work, so says the documentation as I don't use either of these
I can't confirm or deny this. You have to image back to the same sized drive or
larger, easy enough resize the partition before imaging then use ntfsresize in a
batch script to recover the lost drive space after restore, completey automated.

It doesn't have true multicasting but I have it installed on a server and use
'systemrescue' to boot the machines and restore. I can do multiple machines at
one time as long as they all start re-imaging close to the same time.

One thing I do like about partimage, other than it's free, is that it only
copies the portion of the disk with data, g4u copies the whole thing regardless,
it can also use SSL and g4u uses FTP.

Knoppix has partimage on it and the SystemRescueCD does too along with part-gui
and qt_parted which let you resize and format NTFS. The SystemRescueCD is
located here: http://www.sysresccd.org/ PartImage can be found here:
www.partimage.org. 

Tom, check the 'Forums' at the partimage site, there are ways to completely
automate the install process and if you have the documentation on how you are

Al,

If you are getting the acordian effect on your paper feed you can just clean
the rollers. I have saved countless printers by just cleaning the rollers on
them. Whenever I have a feed issue I break out my cleaning solution and
clean the rollers off and it is as good as new. You might want to try that
before spending money on another printer, the stuff I use is at the office,
I will stop by there today and find out what it's called and let you know if
you would like.

RE: [luau] Printing on FreeBSD

2004-02-17 Thread Jon Reynolds
Hi Jon,

The feed is screwed up. There is a known issue with HP laserjet 1100. I
see it on their website. Several sheets are fed at once. The paper
holder is vertical and the lifter wears and eventually picks up several
sheets or even cards at a time.

This is driving me nuts. The printer is a 1999 model and has been well
used.

I am looking at a HP 5650 Parallel  port installed printer. A desk jet.
For $89.00.
I think it will work on FreeBSD.

Hey Al,

Thats a shame. If it is a known issue maybe they would repair it, probably
not though. I had a similiar problem with an old HP and the frustration

Luau,

Our lug here in Alaska is going to incorporate as a non-profit and they
were looking for some projects to start trying to make inroads to local
businesses and others. I mentioned to them about what LUAU is doing with
their LTSP project for the schools and they were very interested and
wanted to try and follow what LUAU was doing but up here. Other than the
mailing list, is there some documentation on what exactly Luau is doing
to connect the schools i.e. apps, hardware, design?

Any info would be appreciated and if we do start to get it going and
start to actually make those inroads would Luau be interested in being
kept up to date on our progress up here? 

Which brings me to another idea I had. I was thinking that the LUG
presidents from say AK, CA, HI, OR and WA(the northwest chapter) should
be in contact with each other. This way instead of our respective LUGs
being small satelites we could become a powerful force. One thing we

Re: [luau] Proposed list guidelines

2002-10-21 Thread Jon Reynolds
Just my thoughts on this. When I first started getting into mailing
lists I violated every code of netiqette and got flamed like Johnny
Torch on the Fantastic Four because of it.

I think if a list policy had been in place it would have avoided this
discussion as Edward could have simply been pointed to it. Don't lock
the list down into some nazi set of rules of what can and can't be
posted. Leave it open and free. 

As a result, I am sure Edward has a very bad taste in his mouth about
Linux users in general. If anyone knows who this guy is, then someone
should go to him and explain it and also tell him of the positive change
he has inacted on the list.

Scott, I like the way you worded the policy, it is not harsh and it is
in passive voice. Which makes it sound like the policy is only trying to
help the user post effectively. I think you did a fine job on this. Your
a credit to the list. ;)

 Some of the nice new upgrades:

 Among some other notable improvements are the inclusion of SpamAssassin and

 Perhaps the only drawback is that the MP3 player plugins had to be removed

 Freshrpms site has the xmms-mp3 plugin, DVD player and some other neat

 You would be surprised how many people on this list don't apply updates,

 Mandrake installation.  Even more surprising is how often I get into
 arguments with people that refuse to update their systems.  They usually
 have reasons along the lines of, My system isn't important.  Why would
 anyone want to crack me?
 
 This type of thinking is wrong, because systems that are not important
 are usually also poorly maintained and poorly monitored.  This means
 that crackers want to hijack your box in order to use as a relay from
 which they can attack other targets almost without being traced.  If
 your system is poorly monitored and maintained, they are likely to be
 able to use your system as an attack relay for a longer period of time. 
 Other crackers may host warez downloads or steal personal data from your
 computer... both of which will cause problems for you.
 
 These people think, It wont happen to me. but it sure will if they
 don't apply updates.
 
 These people think applying updates is too hard.  Well, it isn't! 
 Almost every Linux distribution now has some type of automated updating
 tool, most of which are as easy as point  click.  Here's a list of
 several:
 
 Red Hat   up2date
 Mandrake  rpmdrake or urpmi
 SuSE  YAST2

 Spend a small amount of effort now and figure out how these automated
 updating tools work. Much better than spending much effort later after
 your box gets cracked, data destroyed, your bandwidth wasted and
 personal information stolen.

 Fairly bad because it is running many of those services that you have
 installed, even though you don't need most of them.
 
 Your Apache, PHP and OpenSSL is vulnerable to several exploits.  You may
 already be cracked by the worm mentioned earlier in this thread. 
 Several other components may be vulnerable.  Check out this page for a
 list of security errata for Red Hat 7.3:
 http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/rh73-errata-security.html
 
 Try scanning yourself with nmap localhost to see your open ports.  I
 can already tell you that you should turn off all your services and use
 Red Hat's automated update tool.
 
 service httpd stop
 service sendmail stop
 service xinetd stop
 service named stop
 service squid stop
 service smb stop
 
 (Use chkconfig SERVICENAME off with those same service names in order
 to keep them from starting automatically at bootup.)
 
 Then run rhn_register and follow on-screen instructions.  Otherwise
 use Red Hat Network in the System menu of KDE or Gnome.
 
 up2date -u will download and install all updated packages at the
 command line.  Running up2date or the Update Agent in X will bring
 up a gui tool somewhat like Windows Update.  Just click click click,

time. In csh it cannot but in sh it can, how do I make just this one command
execute at boot time under a different shell that wont give me dreaded
ambiguous output message? This is the offending command:
'/usr/local/bin/tcpserver -R -x/var/qmail.control/relays.cdb -u5001 -g5000 0
smtp /var/qmail/bin/qmail-smtpd 21 | /var/qmail/bin/splogger ' As you can
see having to type this in everytime it reboots is wearing on me quickly. I
think what is causing my problem is the pipe(|) but I'm no expert *nix type
guy to figure out a solution.

 Changing the default shell on unix (linux, bsd, commercial unixes, etc)
 generally means changing the link /bin/sh to whatever you want.  In this
 case, /bin/sh is probably a symlink to /bin/csh.  To change to bash,
 link it to /bin/bash.

Aagh!  No, don't do that.  /bin/sh must be a bourne-family shell,
preferably sh itself (for speed).  This is a POSIX mandated shell
that many programs and utilities depend on to work as expected.

FreeBSD has csh as the default shell for root, and an additional
UID 0 account called toor.  The toor account is the one you should
use if you want to use a different shell than csh.  You can change
it with chsh(1) or vipw(8).

Nothing prevents you from changing root's shell, of course, but
it can come back to bite you.  For instance, on my system, bash
is /usr/local/bin/bash.  What if my system crashes and I have to
boot single user with /usr unmounted.  Uh oh, no shell.

Root's shell should be on the root partition, and be statically
linked - the other kicker.  If the shared libraries your shell
is linked against are in /usr/include, same problem if /usr
is unmounted.

For more info, see /usr/share/doc/faq/index.html , section 7.12
and /usr/share/doc/handbook/index.html , section 3.7

[luau] mail being delivered twice

2002-06-28 Thread Jon Reynolds
I have setup a mail server using freebsd4.6, qmail-1.0.3_1,
courieir-imap-1.4.3,uscpi-tcp-0.88,apache-1.3.24_7 and
squirrelmail-1.2.6..whew! I am having this problem: When I recieve a mesg if
I dont read it, I wont get a double of it. As soon as I read the mesg then
check my mail I recieve two of the same of the one I just read. Can someone
tell me what I need to look at to fix this problem? Is there some sort of
dump I can do that will show me my settings or something, I am at a complete
loss.

[luau] Vmailmgr

2002-06-16 Thread Jon Reynolds
I am setting up a mail server using qmail and am planning to use
squirrelmail as a web interface. The guide that I am reading also
suggest using vmailmgr, why would I want to do this? Is there a good
reason to use vmailmgr for only one domain?

Re: [luau] A Mission For Luau

2002-04-25 Thread Jon Reynolds
I have been watching this thread and it is an very interesting idea. The
question came up about users needing training on the linux OS and this
is a valid question. I work for a non-profit here in Alaska and we do
computer training for senior citizens and The Welfare to Work programs
run by the state here. We have just recently begun to tap into the local
LUG here in Anchorage and are about to offer classes for linux that will
be taught by one or more of the LUG members using our labs. I would bet
that Hawaii would have some sort of the same system setup to help people
trying to find work. I would also think that some of your members could
offer the same service there for linux. And on every machine you setup
make the default webpage point to this list and a small how-to for using
the list from a web browser, you guys are after all the best tech
support and it's all free. Have a problem? Post to the list and await
your answer.

My 2 cents,

Jon

Re: [luau] iptables minimal install

2002-04-21 Thread Jon Reynolds
Yes please, I have signed up on your mailing list and await my first
foray into iptables. Also, are all distro's heading towards iptables as
a standard? Or will freebsd'd ipfw be around for a long time to come?
Would it be beneficial to learn both and is there another that I'm not
aware of that I also should be familiar with?

 This may repost because I signed up the wrong email address and am
awaiting moderator approval. Sorry.

 No hard drive needed of course.  Unfortunately at this point 
 configuration must be done from the console as there is no remote access 
 to it.
 
 If you want it just ask, and I'll send it to you privately.

[luau] Changing mozilla's default email client

Is there a way to get mozilla to use evolution as the default email
client when I click on an email link in a webpage? It is so far using
its own built-in email application and I would like to change that.
