Using IPTABLES in SLES10 (NAT)

2009-09-28 Thread Florian Bilek
Dear all, I have some questions regarding the use of IPTABLES in SLES 10: SLES10 provides the SuSEfirewall2 but I am not sure if I do understand the configuration correctly. In my special case, I would need only that two addresses are natted from one network to another. No DMZ or other rules

This is a bit revisionist, methinks. At best, this statement needs a big where IBM's involvement began, but it's just not true that Marist started it all. The Bigfoot project came before it, and there were no Marist participants to be seen there. Citation notwithstanding. I open the

First running Bigfoot kernel was July 1999, I recall. Neale had a mostly running libc and some userspace apps along with that mid-August. Fall, 1999: IBM releases joint study technology preview project with Marist (late Sept/October, IIRC) About a week after I announced I was going to merge

This historical discussion prompted me to look online at http://www2.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-VM, where I see the earliest monthly logs of this list, LINUX-390, start in Dec 1998 as a list named LINUX-VM which Marist apparently hosted specifically for the Bigfoot participants' use.

How to ensure I/O write order

If indeed all of your i/o is a consistent copy across that DMX 1000, then I think you could do it while they are up. It would be no different than a VM abend or other failure. You might get some file system errors that should be correctable with fsck (you are running a journaled FS
