IP-tunnel
Jag har en kompis med en egen Debianburk som sitter bakom en henskt elak brandvägg. Han får inte ens en publik IP-adress, vilket innebär att han kan ringa ut, men ingen kan ringa in till honom. Vi försökte överföra varandras röster i realtid för att kunna prata, men vi kunde inte hitta nåt enda telefonprogram som inte använde UDP, och jag kan inte ens skicka såna paket åt rätt håll eftersom han inte har nån publik adress. Det slutade med att vi gjorde varsin pipe med brec, oggenc och nc i den sändande änden och nc och ogg123 i den mottagande. Han fick ringa upp mig för att starta båda TCP-kopplingarna, naturligtvis. Det hela fungerade jättebra, bortsett från att fördröjningen var typ 20 sekunder, ungefär som att prata med någon som befinner sig hyfsat långt ute i rymden. Finns det något bra sätt att tunnla UDP? Jag ser framför mig nån smart mojäng som ger oss varsin ny ethX som bara existerar i mjukvara, och som sitter ihop med en TCP-koppling, så att det för alla program som använder dessa interface ser ut som att datorerna är ihopkopplade direkt med en sladd. Finns det nåt sånt, eller nåt som kan duga lika bra? -- Kalle Hasselström, [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.treskal.com pgpqg8NuEbd9y.pgp Description: PGP signature
tangentbordsknapp som musknapp
Jag har en laptop vars touchpad bara har två musknappar. Då får man trycka på bägge samtidigt för att få ett klick med mittenknappen, vilket är ganska jobbigt. Jag har också använt xmodmap för att stänga av CapsLock, eftersom jag bara irriterar mig på den tangenten. Vet någon om det går (och i så fall hur man gör för) att få CapsLock-tangenten att generera samma X-event som mittenmusknappen ger? -- Kalle Hasselström, [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.treskal.com pgp1JoC9E8NR0.pgp Description: PGP signature
svensk avstavning i LaTeX
Jag använder följande rad i mina .tex-filer om jag skriver på svenska:
\usepackage[swedish]{babel}
Det gör att diverse saker blir på svenska (t.ex. Figur 1 istället
för Figure 1), och säkert en massa annat också som jag inte känner
till. (Om nån är på förklararhumör ... :-)
Men. En sak som ska hända är att avstavningsregler specifika för
svenska ska användas. Det verkar inte som att det blir så, för när jag
kör
$ latex minfil.tex
så skriver den bland annat det här:
Package babel Warning: No hyphenation patterns were loaded for
(babel)the language `Swedish'
(babel)I will use the patterns loaded for \language=0 instead.
Är det något speciellt Debianpaket man måste ha för att få nån fil som
den letar efter (och inte hittar), eller vad?
(Jag kan inte verifiera att avstavningen inte fungerar i alla fall,
eftersom en del ord faktiskt blir avstavade. Men inte många; kanske
får den så stora mellanrum att den bestämmer sig för att avstava trots
att den inte vet hur?)

First off after you run apt-get install bsd-ftpd you should open a new shell and type man in.ftpd. Read that file over and you will find a direct howto on how to configure your ftp directories and what files should or shouldn't be there and with what permissions. As one poster notes, be careful with your incoming directories permissions. For example, I have mine set to 000 until I'm ready to actually upload something, then I ssh into home, chmod the incoming directory to 777 and upload, then change it back. If you leave it wide open you will be hosting pirate sites in no time. Good luck.

I thought it would be a good idea to do this when it's not being used, to be on the safe side. I won't be using it much at all, not even once a week. IIRC xinetd allows you to set date/time based access controls. You could do more with a wrapper around in.ftpd, if you can write a wrapper like that. You could go as far as write a wrapper that needs a specific packet -- if it receives that, it spawns ftpd, otherwise it drops the connection (knock first, often used by trojans). Or you could run ftpd standalone, ssh to the box and do /etc/init.d/ftpd start before ftp'ing. Good idea! The following does what I want: [contents of /usr/local/sbin/in.ftpd] -- #!/bin/sh # Run the real in.ftpd, but only if the file /etc/allowftp exists. if [ -e /etc/allowftp ]; then /usr/sbin/in.ftpd $* fi -- It's an on/off switch that's only reachable from the inside. b) Change the port?

Would 12345 stream tcp nowait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /usr/sbin/in.ftpd -q work? Also, you can tell standalone server what port to listen to, e.g. Port 12345 for ProFTPD.

setting up an ftp server
Currently, the only service I'm running is ssh, as this meets my requirements both regarding remote logins and file transfers. However, ssh clients, especially the file-transfering sort, are not a standard item on most mac and windows computers, and now and then I find the need to talk to my computer from the strangest places (for example, I need to scan a bunch of images, and the only scanners I have easy access to are hooked up to Macs). How much of a security risk would it be to run an ftp server? Is the biggest risk the clear-text passwords (I won't be transferring confidential files, I just don't want anyone to break in), or are there other major security holes as well? Would I be reducing the risk by just running the server while I need it (I'm the sole user on my box), or might I just as well leave it running? What server should I install? I found several with apt-cache search ftpd. I want one that's safe, convenient for a one-user system, safe, easy to configure (and hard to misconfigure), and safe.

Re: Mutt and KMail harmony?
On Wed, Jul 25, 2001 at 10:25:25AM -0400, Jason Rashaad Jackson wrote: Hello all: I presently use both KMail and Mutt to check my e-mail. Fetchmail grabs my e-mail from an IMAP server and stores it locally in /var/mail/jrashaad. If KMail isn't running, I use Mutt remotely to check my mail (leaving it in /var/mail/jrashaad). If KMail is running it picks it up, filters it, and sticks it in various folders. The problem comes when I try to view one of those folders in Mutt. I have no problem viewing the folder and reading the e-mail, however when I try to look at the same folder in KMail, suddenly the headers are wrecked, and KMail switches the subject to 'No Subject' and the sender to 'Unknown'. Checking the folder again in Mutt, everything looks fine, but KMail refuses to touch them from that point on. I think my solution might be stop using KMail, and just set up procmail to do the filtering that KMail is doing now, but I'd rather keep using it. Any advice? Here's my info: Debian v.2.2r3 (Kernel 2.4.5) Qt v.2.3.0 KDE v.2.1.2 KMail v.1.2 Fetchmail-SSL v.5.8.3 I considered using the pair KMail/mutt as well, using procmail for sorting. However, I decided against using that after reading in the KMail docs that other programs must not touch the mboxes that KMail use while KMail is running -- I think it said there would be consistency problems or some such. And that would happen, since I've set fetchmail to deliver mail every 15 seconds. If you take a look at your ~/Mail directory, you'll see that for every mbox file foo, KMail has created a .foo.index file (or something like that). It doesn't seem too far-fetched to assume that KMail uses those files to store headers and such for quick retrieval, and if that's the case, editing only foo with another program is sure to make the info in .foo.index invalid. But KMail doesn't know that ... This is all just speculation, but if I'm right, you simply can't use KMail in parallel with another mail program. Unless you store all your mail on an IMAP server; IMAP was designed with something like this situation in mind. Mutt has IMAP support, and KMail will have very soon (just wait for KDE 2.2). If you don't want to or can't store all your mail on the IMAP server you already mentioned, you could always run your own. However, using fetchmail+procmail+mutt is a very good solution. That's what I use, and I'm very happy with it. But I want KMail too, so I might just set up an IMAP server myself. // Kalle Hasselström pgp7nkFMCPcRb.pgp Description: PGP signature
