[SLUG] Logo Competition Winners

2003-09-07 Thread Jaime Hemmett
Hello SLUG,

As you know we held a logo competition over the last few months. This
was judged at our last meeting (by the members) and the results are
below.

The winning logos were (entered by):
1. http://www.slug.org.au/gallery/sluglogocomp/aaf (Jan Schmidt)
2. http://www.slug.org.au/gallery/sluglogocomp/aao (Claudio Rogers)
3. http://www.slug.org.au/gallery/sluglogocomp/aah (Jan Schmidt)

Logo one will be our official logo but we plan to use Claudios animation
for the website as well.As Jan Schmidt entered a reworked version of
the original logo he has decided to share his prize with the original
author Laura Rumble.

Congratulations Claudio Rogers, Jan Schmidt and Laura Rumble.  Each will
be contacted by the committee about their prize book vouchers soon.

Jaime Hemmett,
(Slug Committee member)

  Does anyone else use the slug archive searching? 
  I've never had any luck with it. 
  
 Nope. I gave up on it. Its logic for what it comes up with totally  
 eludes me. I'm serious. Google finds slug posts easier amd more  
 correctly than the slug archive searching does.

(and I thought it was me, and, was too embarassed to admit )

[SLUG] default snmpd read community ?

2003-09-07 Thread Voytek Eymont
I'm staring at the /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf but I'm somewhat at loss how to read
it, all I want is the default read community (which used to be 'public')


relevant part of snmpd.conf is:

-
# First, map the community name public into a security name

#   sec.name  source  community
com2sec notConfigUser  default   public


# Second, map the security name into a group name:

#   groupName  securityModel securityName
group   notConfigGroup v1   notConfigUser
group   notConfigGroup v2c   notConfigUser


# Third, create a view for us to let the group have rights to:

#   name   incl/excl subtree mask(optional)
viewsystemview included  system


# Finally, grant the group read-only access to the systemview view.

#   group  context sec.model sec.level prefix read   write  notif
access  notConfigGroup   any   noauthexact  systemview none none

-

so, which is the string I need to use instead of 'public' ?
'systemview' ? 'com2sec' ? ?
I've tried most of above strings with no success so far...

[SLUG] Redhat 9 install

2003-09-07 Thread Edwin Humphries
After a cumulative 15 man-hours wasted time, we've finally found out there are known 
problems with installation on systems with useful amounts of RAM. We had a 
successful install on a 64Mb router/firewall, but when we try to install on a 512Mb 
system, the install kept coming up with CD read errors - on three separate sets of 
CDs and three separate systems. I understand that anaconda has memory management 
issues.

So the question is: has anyone come up with a work-around for this?

Well I've only ever done FTP installs of Redhat 9. I can't afford a CD
for every Linux box I run, so I have a central Installation machine which
has the contents of the CDs copied into a directory. I then use the FTP
Install method, using the Boot Disk, and with Redhat 9, the Device driver
disk. I've litterally done hundreds of Redhat 9 installs, all worked
perfectly.

Redhat 9 once running, however, has more issues than you can poke a
stick at! :)

boot loader to specify the ammount of memory the setup program should

I cant remember how to do it, but basically instead if just hitting enter

RH9 vs RH7.3 Re: [SLUG] Redhat 9 install

2003-09-07 Thread Voytek Eymont

 I installed RH9.0 on a machine with 512MB of RAM without any problems 


how much does RH9 differ from RH7.3 as far as core system, TCP/IP and so on, is
concerned;  *not* the desktop and skins ?

I know it has some new eye candy, and, Apache 2, BUT, is there any difference at
TCP/IP level and stuff like that ?

This has been happening for quite a while... To resolve the proble, why don't we just have a text-box linked to google that automatically adds the site:lists.slug.org.au in? (You could have the text being something to the order of Google search this mail archive)

After all, this has been a longstanding problem.

That could work, it'll manually tell the kernel how much memory your machine has. You may want to check the actual labelling of the kernel for the setup program though.

I haven't been happy with it in the past. namazu (which handles different
document types, metadata, etc. very nicely, including mhonarc archives) gave
awesome results, but doesn't seem to scale very well (known problem).

 why go to google for internal searching? How up to date is google going

I think it was suggested as a handy way to tide over until the current one

[SLUG] Oracle over NFS

2003-09-07 Thread Tony Green
I'm looking at setting up a new oracle install which, ideally, would
access it's data over a SAN.  That's not a problem, apart from the
expense.

Does anyone have experience in running oracle over NFS?  I'm thinking of
a dedicated gigabit link betwixt client and server.

I'm aware of the problems with NFS, but not with NFS+Oracle, anyone got
an opinion?

[SLUG] Postfix, SMTP, ipchains firwall or postfix.conf ?

2003-09-07 Thread Voytek Eymont
I'm trying to setup/config Postfix on RH73 (one small step at a time);

I can sent mail out from the host, but, am struggling to make it recieve
anything external;

from command line on the server itself , I can see Postfix is waiting:

# telnet myserver.sbt.net.au 25
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to myserver.sbt.net.au.
Escape character is '^]'.

250 8BITMIME
quit
221 Bye
Connection closed by foreign host.


BUT, If i try to telnet from another host on same LAN, I get 'connection
refused'

I am not sure if it's my ipchains firewall  ? or, Postfix setup ?

is this ipchains OK for smtp ?

 Thats the 'gotcha' that I'd thought of.
 
  Also one of the NASs that I looked at had this terrible NFS setup where it

  A Linux / BSD / Solaris NAS would be better than the off-the-shelf NASs

 Yeah, I'm looking at doing a NAS with just a big box and a bunch of RAID
 disks rather than a black box one.
 
  Why don't you just plug in an extra controller and add a disk array? You
  would get better performance.
  NFS is better suited to individual applications to share data or home
  directories amongst servers.
 
 The shared aspect is the key.  2 boxes both able to access the data
 (oracle and application failover), otherwise I'd disk array it.
 
 Thanks for the insights :-)

It depends a little bit on which MTA you're running (Mail Transfer Agent,
the bit of a mail server that sends and receives mail, but doesn't serve
them via client protocols - it might be sendmail, postfix, qmail, exim or
one of a few others)...

It is fairly likely that if you modify /etc/aliases (verifying that it has a
root: [EMAIL PROTECTED] line in it, which you want to change), and run
'newaliases' then it should work. If you're running something that is oddly
different to MTA norms (such as qmail), this won't work. :-)

Worth figuring out which MTA you're running anyway, so you know what to read
up on when you encounter problems in the future. :-)

Subject: [SLUG] Redhat 9 install
 After a cumulative 15 man-hours wasted time, we've finally found out 
there
are known
 problems with installation on systems with useful amounts of RAM. We had 
a
 successful install on a 64Mb router/firewall, but when we try to install
on a 512Mb
 system, the install kept coming up with CD read errors - on three 
separate
sets of
 CDs and three separate systems. I understand that anaconda has memory
management
 issues.

 So the question is: has anyone come up with a work-around for this?

Re: [SLUG] Postfix, SMTP, ipchains firwall or postfix.conf ?

2003-09-07 Thread Paul Forrester
I think postfix installs as listening to loacl host only..

Try going to:
/etc/postfix/main.cf
Comment out:
inet_interfaces = localhost 
and uncomment
inet_interfaces = all

[SLUG] more ibook issues

2003-09-07 Thread Adam Hewitt
Hi All,

I have two questions. Firstly I have set up ALSA on my ibook which is
working, however the sound is very soft, even with the mixer to max. Is
there a way of adjusting what the mixer thinks should be the max and min
volume?

Secondly I have compiled and installed mplayer, however when I went to
grab the codecs I realized that they are binary x86 codecs only. How can
I go about getting codecs for ppc?

Cheers,

Adam.

 hey ppl -
 our server redirects any email sent to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' to my boss,
 but he wants it to come to me from now on, because the only thing that
 would ever come from root are basically any errors returned by cron etc.
 and I am the one that needs to know of those :)  hehehe
 
 I'm sure this is easy, but I can't find a thing on it anywhere...
 
 any ideas?

[SLUG] airsnort

2003-09-07 Thread Adam Hewitt
Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has managed to get airsnort working with their
apple airport card? There is a link from the airsnort homepage, however
it seems to be broken.

Cheers,

Adam.
