[SLUG] The positively latest.

2008-08-03 Thread wbennett
I'm using Hardy Heron on a laptop.

apt-get install wine

results in the installation of wine version 1.0

I have been told that the latest version, 1.1.2, is the one to have if I
want to use a certain application.

Is there a command like

apt get go-to-wine-homepage, get version 1.1.2 and install it?

Any help...

William Bennett.

[SLUG] Re: Safe samba configuration

2008-08-03 Thread whitemice
 [global]
 domain master = no
 local master = no
 preferred master = no
 os level = 0
 its also a good idea to set up a wins server, and send its details out
 using dhcp and set the client mode to wins only.

Setting up a WINS server is easy;  just set wins support = yes.
That's it!  Easy.  Then tell your other devices to use the WINS
server,  this makes Windows naming much more stable.

 from man dhcp-options...

Yep.  Set -
netbios-node-type 2
netbios-name-servers 192.168.1.9
- in your DHCP configuration (assuming you have an ISC DHCP server)
and your clients will use WINS and WINS only for CIFS name-
resolution.   We have ~300 devices spread out via a WAN across 16
subnets and with WINS it all just works.  Back when we used
broadcasting it was awful.

You can also set dns proxy = yes on your Samba server and if it
doesn't find a name in WINS for a search request it will look into DNS
on behalf of the client.  This allows CIFS devices to see devices that
don't support WINS.

[SLUG] Re: Opinions pls on best/easiest setup Groupware suite.

2008-08-03 Thread whitemice
 In short, I guess what I'm really looking for is something to set up
 shared calendars, event/meeting invites and tasks for a single domain.

Invite processing is really a feature of the client/UI.

 So maybe, I don't really needgroupware, but simply a shared calendar
 resource (accessible over the web).
 something that's not going to be _too heavy on resources.

If you just want something pretty basic, very stable, and light I'd
strongly recommend Horde.  The UI is quite nice (especially the new
DIMP interface) and actively maintained.   It will sit nicely on just
about any backend so can just start with a MySQL or PostgreSQL
database.   I know that GroupDAV and CalDAV capabilities are at least
under development.

[SLUG] individual sender email verification on inbound

I have some web generated emails being sent as 'apache@' [as the default

now, an isp appears to be doing a user lookup as below and bounces emails,
claiming my server is mis-configured:

is there any req on me having an 'apache@' address if I'm sending emails
as such ?

(i.e., who misconfigured their server ?)

This mail came through with a bunch of others, which suggests that the
list moderators were behind on approving mail.

As for why they needed to be approved in the first place, best to
contact the list moderators directly (I am not one of them, by the way)
at [EMAIL PROTECTED] (which will get through even if you are
moderated on the main list).

One could argue that either server is incorrectly configured. I suspect 
the receiving email server is checking if the sending email is valid in an 
attempt to stop spam.
You could just alias apache@ to your (or another valid) email address, and 
that should stop the problem.

 Sender address verification is a fairly common anti-spam technique.
 RFC 2821 allows for mail to be rejected based on local policy, and the
 remote end has chosen to implement a policy whereby the return address
 must verifiably exist (in the sense of being able to receive the first
 part of an SMTP transaction) before accepting mail. So it's not a
 configuration that violates the protocol, that I can see.
 
 Whether it's a totally sensible configuration is another question: it
 tends to interact badly if the sender address in turn greylists incoming
 mail, for example. But it's unlikely to be accidental on their part.

I for one think it's perfectly cromulent. If the sender MX utilises
greylisting then it'll send back a transient failure message as distinct
from a permanent 550 failure. At that point, the receiving MX can either
assume a transient failure means it's normally a valid address and
accept the mail, or give back its own transient failure - an eye for an
eye if you like.
If that's a problem, I'm more inclined to blame it on greylisting.
Introducing needless artificial delays strikes me as an incredibly ugly
solution for dealing with spam.
