[SLUG] Generating a website map

[SLUG] Poking around for SPAM origins
I was just going to send this to the committee but damn-it, it's a technical query, related to DNS Spam protection - just happens to involve SLUG emails. May interest others. I've noticed an awful lot of SPAM++ we get goes through various bur.st mailservers. Took me a while to realise slug uses these as backup MX servers. ;; ANSWER SECTION: slug.org.au.37805 IN MX 10 slug.org.au. slug.org.au.37805 IN MX 20 mail3.bur.st. slug.org.au.37805 IN MX 20 mail4.bur.st. slug.org.au.37805 IN MX 20 mail5.bur.st. slug.org.au.37805 IN MX 30 maddog.slug.org.au. According to http://bur.st these are supposed to flag SPAM for us - but maybe it doesen't work for backup MX's?? Actually on further reading here:- http://bur.st/support.html#Spam_filtering It says they filter stuff at mail1.bur.st but don't mention the others. In our experience at EverythingLinux you've gotta sort the SPAM out at each of the MX servers. I think the other bur.st MX's are the weak links (particularly mail5.bur.st aka squeak.bur.st), plus since maddog's up all the time mail never filters down to mail1.bur.st and maddog's more prone to accepting SPAM from the backup MX hosts. I suggest we reduce the MX records such that it's like this:- slug.org.au.37805 IN MX 10 slug.org.au. slug.org.au.37805 IN MX 20 mail1.bur.st. slug.org.au.37805 IN MX 30 maddog.slug.org.au. and see how that affects the spam situation. Duh.. then again mx 10 and 30 are in fact the same host IP so that narrows it down to 2, the first 2 above. ++ Examples are the recent rounds of Rolex adverts, Bank frauds and sex toys - mostly the stuff with utf-8 subjects too.

[SLUG] Ubuntu Linux DV camera
I'm trying to connect a DV camara to a newly built Ubuntu(2.6 kernel recompiled for 686) box without success, So far i have learned that for some reason the system that Ubuntu uses dosn't create the appropriate dev node when the raw1394 module is loaded, I have added the following to the end of my bootmisc.sh mknod /dev/raw1394 c 171 0 chown root:video /dev/raw1394 chmod 666 /dev/raw1394 The software I am trying to use is Kino and DVGrab both of which i installed from binary packages. attempts to access the camera come back with an error no camera found.

I have previously used the same firewire controller to access a firewire hard drive enclosure (under mandrake) Ditto for the camera (but with a different controller). Ubuntu uses udev to build the /dev nodes, which relies on the sysfs (/sys) entries for a device being created properly. The problem is that the raw1394 driver hasn't been fully updated for 2.6 kernels - so it doesn't update sysfs properly. I'm not sure exactly what the right fix is (other than fixing the kernel modules), but I've been going with creating the device nodes manually using MAKEDEV after stopping udev. I need to stop udev, because otherwise it seems to delete the device node again immediately. sudo -s /etc/init.d/udev stop cd /dev MAKEDEV raw1394 Cheers, Jan. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

[SLUG] ext3 to ext2?
Hello all, Please don't ask why, but I put a Lindows sampler CD into my Mandrake 9.2 machine at home. You know these CDs: they allow you to look at the distro without touching your hard disk... Presented with a choice of sample or configure, I chose configure to try to take control of hardware detection. A couple of minutes later when I returned to the machine I found messages about converting /dev/hdb9 to ext2 etc. No warning, no dialogue box Do you really want to do this, or backup your data. Am I stuffed? Trying to re-boot into Mandrake failed with a Kernel panic - no init. As the /home directory is in its own partition, I tried to upgrade to Mandrake10 but again, this failed as the root partition was unreadable. So I installed Mandrake10 leaving the old /home partition alone. Booting into Mandrake10 there is nothing in the old /home partition. Most of the data on this partition is backed up on my trusty pentium II running a very minimal Debian stable ftp server, but not all. Sigh. Thanks, Bill Chivers BTW, I have been thinking of automating backup from the server end. Any thoughts on the script to do this (or existing software)? - William J.
