looking for help with open source for education project
Dear Linux-il subscribers, I know that some of you are interested in the potential of open source technologies and thought for schools. I have begun the framework for a zine/journal/portal dedicated to serving teachers and students and networkers who are working or intersted in using open source tools. I hope to kick off a Webzine, perhaps in September or October, and so am looking for expert help in sys admin as well as product and project reps willing to write, edit and contribute news. If you think there is a need for such a project, I'd welcome your participation.

YR I believe you're missing a crucial point.

The previous statement So? That's why I wrote If I also own harder.com, you will never know what happens. If I control both PTR and A records, I can match them on whatever values I want. And, contrary to IP, these values don't have to be meaningful - they just have to end on registered domain name - which I control, so all your complaints you will be sending to the same person that is responsible for your problems. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] \/ There shall be counsels taken Stanislav Malyshev /\ Stronger than Morgul-spells phone +972-3-9316425/\ JRRT LotR. http://sharat.co.il/frodo/ whois:!SM8333 = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: parallel to SCSI
Hi Efraim, Well, it really depends on which chip you got inside your parallel to scsi adapter. Most of them are supported under the 2.2 and 2.4 linux kernels. All you have to do is to enable SCSI generic and the parallel port stuff inside the kernel. A word of caution - Linux doesn't support EPP + DMA very well (at least not in kernel 2.2.x), so you might wanto to use ECP in your BIOS (also called ECP+EPP). By telling it's not supported well I mean it won't give you an optimized speed.. I would recommend to use a cheap SCSI card with your hard drive. You'll get MUCH better speed then any parallel to scsi coverter (my test so far reached ~300 KB/s from such adaptors under any OS) Hetz On Saturday 28 April 2001 10:10, Efraim Yawitz wrote: Hi!

If you, Netvision, or anybody else feels there are hosts that are open relays but not spam risks, feel free to create a list ORTANSR (Open Relays That Are Not Spam Risks), or whatever, for that, and maybe I'll use that in my spam filter instead of ORBS. It is a matter of definition of open. ORBS maintainers claim that rate limit is not a defence against spam at all. However there were exactly zero incidents of spam relayed through Netvision gateway[1] once the measure was installed. Apparently other lists (RBL, etc) consider rate limiting as adequate protection. Some of them require that you submit rate limiting code for review. In my opinion ORBS position on rate limiting is a complete idiocy. And since there were less then 10 rejection from 150K+ outgoing email there is/was no reason why Netvision should suck up to them. [1] There was very small number of relay abuse before it. Netvision used relay protection based on checking From: field.

RE: RedHat 7.0 installation: QUESTION
I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM! did you manage to fix this problem (line 33 error in anaconda?) Thank you Marc --- Hi, Marc! Unfortunately, till now I have no suggestion for the problem and that is more of all, I not see any solution at the moment. But your letter was as a ray of hope - I'm not alone :-). For your information: - I downloaded RH 7.0 ISOs from two different FTPs (ftp.cs.huji.ac.il, ftp.iglu.org.il), 'fisher' ISO from ftp.linuxberg.com, and finally RH 7.1 ISO from ftp.cs.huji.ac.il. At least RH 7.1 was downloaded correctly - I checked md5sum of the files. - Each ISO I tried to burn on different brands of CD-R/CD-RW (SONY, Verbatim, HP) disks on deferent CD-RW drives (HP 9200i, Yamaha 8424) with Easy CD Creator 4.0 and 5.1. So I'm not think that the problem is in the burned disk. - I tried install RH with update disk (I downloaded it from RH errata pages, wrote the image to 1.44 diskette with rawrite utility). - I tried to install RH on four different computers with different hardware configuration - it's not seems as a source of the problem. - Finally, I experimented with BIOS (UDMA, IRQ) HDD/CD-ROM (Master, Master + Slave, Alone, CabelSelect, CabelSelect + Slave) configurations.

I agree with the fact that if u limit the connections to the modem it will be the start of protecting it but...

Configuration of partial in.addr zones.
Gentle people, I wish to present before you the following problem: Our ISP assigned us 5 'real' ip addresses. Our DNS server is the authoritative one for our makif.omer.k12.il domain. I wish to delegate control of the in.addr zone to our servers, mainly because Internet Zahav's DNS servers run bind-8.2.2-P5 which is susceptible to the tsig bug. Now, the in.addr zone should only be in charge of the five addresses assigned to us by our ISP. How can Internet Zahav create a partial in.addr zone for the five IP addresses assigned to us? I know of a way to achieve this using CNAME trickery, but I was hoping there is cleaner way to achieve this. Regards, Yotam Rubin PGP signature
Re: The darnest thing! (aka: Mandrake 8 is out there(tm))
Hi list. We've just solved this really weird problem with Mandrake 8 (well - solved is a harsh word - let's say : we found it why we were going in circles and wanted to show you the way in case you get lost too :-), which made my life a bit diificult in the last three days or so - We have a program which writes a single line (with no new line) to stdout and quits - this small test program is a good example: #include string.h #include stdio.h int main (int argc, char* argv[]) { char temp[200]; sprintf(temp,test); write(1,temp,strlen(temp)); return 0; } --- Now, on a MDK72 and any other well behaving 2.2 distro running this would get you something like this : --- [user@computer user]$ ./test test[user@computer user]$ --- But on MDK8 I got this : --- [user@computer user]$ ./test [user@computer user]$ --- no mention of the output text at all. redirecting stdout to a file and 'cat'ing the file it seemed like it does not do output at all. stracing proved that not only it does call write() it actually prints what I want it to print. Although at first we thought we had a glibc flush problem (the original program uses printf) or (weird as it may seem) a kernel buffer flushing problem, and we were about to raise hell on the kernel development mailing list - the solution was pretty simple : it seems that the Mandrake 8 default shell - bash 2.04.18 - sends a carriage return before printing it's prompt - overwriting everything written on the same line, as this revised code shows: #include string.h #include stdio.h int main (int argc, char* argv[]) { char temp[200]; sprintf(temp,test); write(1,temp,strlen(temp)); sleep(1); return 0; } --- simply annoying.

Re: Configuration of partial in.addr zones.
Hi Yotam, You can do that in your own DNS server: you can use the IN A and IN PTR to do this. In one zone that resolves ip to name you have to type this: ip-address.in-addr.arpa.IN PTR name.domain. and in the nnaame to ip zone file you have to add this: name.domain.IN Aip-address You dont have them to add this to you. You can do this on your own server. CNAME record is for alias name to another name like this: mail.fks.org.il IN CNAMEwebserver.fks.org.il hope this helps.

Re: Configuration of partial in.addr zones.
Dear sir, I appreciate your polite advice but I fear that your answer does not resolve my problem; perhaps I was vague. Internet Zahav provides us DNS services, it decides which server will be authoritative for a given zone. I could independently create a reverse zone but external clients will not be directed to my server since it is not mentioned in the DNS tree. They must explicitly configure their servers in a way that will redirect clients to our server. Since we were assigned with only five addresses, Internet Zahav cannot delegate control of the full zone. If it was possible to create a partial zone, then Internet Zahav would be willing to transfer partial zone control to our servers. The CNAME trick which I was referring to is: The following is done in the ISP's side: makif-omer NS dns.makif.omer.k12.il 31 CNAME 31.makif-omer.130.117.192.in-addr.arpa 32 CNAME 32.makif-omer.130.117.192.in-addr.arpa 33 CNAME 33.makif-omer.130.117.192.in-addr.arpa 34 CNAME 34.makif-omer.130.117.192.in-addr.arpa 35 CNAME 35.makif-omer.130.117.192.in-addr.arpa Then I would simply setup on my side the makif-omer.130.117.192.in-addr.arpa zone and poof, I have a partial zone. The above method is not extremely aesthetic, so I was wondering whether a better way exists.
