Re: [expert] opening ports
The firewall part of mnf is basicly shorewall with a fancy interface, there are other services such as intrusion detection and dhcp also. Anyhow, all drops and rejects are already logged, and this is not being logged, maybe I need to use a proxy, but I can change the lan to all policy to accept instead of reject and it works, so I guess I'll go that route.

(This may explain why I get the right site and others don't) Other option is that if they have their load balancing hosed it could be like a phone system we had. 6 lines and if line one was busy it went to 2 then 3 etc etc. And all of our numbers where sequential. One day we got a call from a gentleman. Yep, he had the next number after us, and the phone company system was sending our calls to him when all 6 numbers where busy.

Dan Dan yes there is a problem with the qt that comes with 9.1 render is set to always on and Xnest or rfb logins don't work with this. Either downgrade to the ones in 9.0 or better yet upgrade to the 3.2 rpms from Texstar works sweet this way. (I use it all the time...)

When I run into something like this with KDE, I have found that the easiest way to correct it is to delete all KDE-based files/directories in my home directory.

It is easiest/cleanest to do this from somewhere else: failsafe terminal, blackbox, gnome, whatever...just not from within KDE. You then logout of your current session and relogin to KDE. Normally, all is well at this point. I then move my kmail addressbook and bookmarks.xml back to their normal location, replacing the default files installed by KDE upon first startup.

Re: [expert] packet forwarding unstable
Hi, I've had similar problems, and running sdhorewall, so I don't think it's the firewall software. Only some packets seemed to be dropped, some sites just would not load. This was a temporary setup before I installed MNF on a separate box, so I didn't pursue a solution. Dan On Wednesday 29 January 2003 11:50 pm, Bryce Conner wrote: I'm using a crossover cable to test Mandrake 9.0 as a packet forwarding host, connected to a cable modem. Eventually I plan to run more computers through it, but I can't seem to solve a problem I'm having with forwarding. It seems that Mandrake starts to drop packets from eth0 to eth1, and everything seems to be set up correctly. Everything works fine at boot. I know it's a problem with my setup but I'm not sure where to start. All I know is if I do 'echo 1 /proc/sys/ipv4/ip_forward' (or whatever it is) it restarts the forwarding. At least once every 24 hours it starts dropping packets and won't restart until I manually restart it. I am using dhcpd to serve the ip address to the Windows XP Client. Other than using chron to automatically issue the echo command every hour or so (that wouldn't hurt anything would it?), is there something I can do to track this down and solve it? I've looked in /var/log/kernel and there are no related errors at about the time my packet forwarding went down the last time. Snort was running at the time, but that shouldn't cause any problems, and I think the problem has occurred without it running. I ran Bastille, which set up the bastille firewall (is it called prelude?). I noticed that it isn't supported yet (or at least it wasn't) in Mandrake 9.0 but I found a website that has an easy fix so it will at least run the main program correctly. Do you think Bastille would cause this kind of instability? Do you think getting the newest kernel from the cooker would fix it and not break too many things? How many dependency issues will I have with a newer kernel? -- 9:11am up 6 days, 11:28, 2 users, load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Then is you wish to run fetchmail from a terminal window you can issue this command; fetchmail -u username mail.yourhost.com If you wish to run fetchmail as a daemon issue the command this way: fetchmail -d 150 -u username mail.yourhost.com If you wish to setup fetchmail once and for all then on the command line issue this command: fetchmailconf This will open a fetchmail configuration utility that will allow you to create a .fetchmailrc file that will be read and executed when ever you start your machine and connect to the internet, and/or open a terminal window and issue just a plain fetchmail command to either awaken or initiate the fetchmail process.

Re: [Fwd: Re: [expert] Starting Fetchmail]
Mark, I don't have an /etc/ip-up.local. Did you mean /etc/ppp/ip-up? I'm not running ppp on this machine,I use a gateway firewall on another machine with demand dialing to access the internet.I hope to run the server headless and use webmin to administer it.The reason I want to start fetchmail without logging in is to make it simple to restart after a power outage.I do have dialin access to the server and the only time ppp is run is when someone dials in.I don't understand why fetchmail won't start from rc.local,unless something in the configuration requires logging in before it will start,since I can start it by clicking on rc.local after logging in.Fetchmail isn't listed in my startup services.All other services are started without logging in. Thanks, Dan Mark Weaver wrote: Dan, Have you thought about adding the command to launch fetchmail to /etc/ip-up.local? I was just sitting here reading your post and I thought of that. That is where the command to start my firewall is, and the firewall starts each and every time a connection is made to the internet. So, when ip-up.local is executed the firewall is started. I don't see why that method wouldn't work for your application. -- Mark ### ## ...it's not a bug, it's a feature ## Registered Linux User # 182496 ## !-- Pine 4.31 -- #

Re: [expert] OT: $0.05 e-mail surcharge
Hi, I received the same email and went to www.house.gov and www.senate.gov and couldn't find any reference to it. Could be that I didn't have enough information to do a proper search or it could just be a rumor. Lots of rumors flying around during an election campaign. Dan Bill Shirley wrote: I received this e-mail and want to know if anyone knows if this is true: Thanks in advance, Bill This is not right, the Government wants to put a charge on email! We knew this was coming!! Bill 602P will permit the Federal Government charge a 5 cent charge on every delivered email. Please read the following carefully if you intend to stay online and continue using email: The last few months have revealed an alarming trend in the government of the United States attempting to quietly push through legislation that will affect your use of the Internet. Under proposed legislation the US Postal Service will be attempting to bill email users out of "alternate postage fees." Bill 602P will permit the federal government to charge a 5 cent surcharge on every email delivered, by billing Internet Service Providers at source. The consumer would then be billed in turn by the ISP. Washington DC lawyer Richard Stepp is working without pay to prevent this legislation from becoming law. The US Postal Service is claiming that lost revenue due to the proliferation of email is costing nearly $230,000,000 in revenue per year. You may have seen their recent ad campaign "There is nothing like a letter". Since the average internet user received about 10 pieces of email per day in 1998, the cost to the typical individual would be an additional 50 cents per day, or over $180 per year, above and beyond their regular Internet costs. Note that this would be money paid directly to the US Postal Service for a service they do not even provide. The whole point of the Internet is democracy and non-interference. If the federal government is permitted to tamper with it then that will all come to an end. You are already paying an exorbitant price for snail mail because of bureaucratic inefficiency. It currently takes up to 6 days for a letter to be delivered from New York to Buffalo. If the US Postal Service is allowed to tinker with email, it will mark the end of the "free" Internet in the United States. One Congressman, Tony Schnell, has even suggested a "twenty to forty dollar per month surcharge on all Internet service" above and beyond the government's proposed email charges. Note that most of the major newspapers have ignored the story, the only exception being the Washingtonian which called the idea of email surcharge "a useful concept who's time has come" (March 6th 1999 Editorial). Don't sit by and watch your freedoms erode away. Send this email to EVERYONE on your list, and tell all your friends and relatives to write to their congressman and say "NO!" to Bill 602P. It will only take a few moments of your time, and could very well be instrumental in killing a bill we don't want!
