Well then, I suppose there isn't a RPM version since its no officially
out yet. You have to compile it.

Hi..
For some reason i dont seem to be able to match multicast traffic with a
seperate
rules so it wont show up anymore thur my final "deny all and log rule"
(multicast
stuff is starting to fill up my logs really fast)
This is what is in my log file:
Nov 29 20:46:26 badaboom kernel: Packet log: input REJECT eth0 PROTO=17
24.132.52.87:1508 224.0.0.1:4242 L=57 S=0x00 I=59062 F=0x0000 T=1
Nov 29 20:47:00 badaboom kernel: Packet log: input REJECT eth0 PROTO=17
24.132.53.154:2301 255.255.255.255:2301 L=40 S=0x00 I=60748 F=0x0000 T=128
Nov 29 20:47:06 badaboom kernel: Packet log: input REJECT eth0 PROTO=2
24.132.52.1:65535 224.0.0.1:65535 L=28 S=0xC0 I=52994 F=0x0000 T=1
And this is what i have in my rule-set trying to match the above to reject
it w/out
logging it.
# Multicast servers produces a lot of shit we dont want on our network
/sbin/ipchains -A input -j REJECT -i eth0 -p udp -d 224.0.0.1 4242
/sbin/ipchains -A input -j REJECT -i eth0 -p udp -d 224.0.0.1 65535
What am I doing wrong here??
The line that logs everything that doesnt match a rule before that one is:
# All other incoming is denied and logged.
/sbin/ipchains -A input -j REJECT -s $UNIVERSE -d $UNIVERSE $LOGGING
Any input is welcome.
Jasper

maybe it's not so much need, but want... i'm perfectly comforatble
comiling apps myself, but in most cases try for RPMs first.
things like netatalk i could really do without compiling. from when i was
using the 2.1 kernels, it was the same thing... i went through the list of
things and their versions, and got rpms for everything that was available.
then only did the source thing with the packages that didn't have RPM
versions

I thought it might be. I don't know why HP insists on advertising their

Solution:
A solution was offered off list which worked a treat (thanks Hugo!) so
I thought I'd send it in for others to find in the archive if they need it.

I did the above, re-connected the mouse, then rebooted. During the boot sequence
Kudzu kicked in and everything was sweet.

Are all of your remote sites bridged or routed? If they are bridged then
route them. If they are routed then no problem, as DHCP requests are
broadcasts they will not naturally migrate beyond the local IP subnet
without direct router intervention.

You can easily do this with one box. There are many FAQs etc that cover
this. Basically you just need to setup the DNS servers (you will use more
than one won't you!) and tell them to forward queries for domains that they
don't know about to your ISPs DNS servers.

A Mimesweeper type of product can do this by inspecting the mime-type of
attachments. I don't know if such a thing exists for Linux, although I
suspect it does!

Sendmail Mavens;
I have a sendmail question that I hope someone can help with. I'm running a
stock RH6.0 box with sendmail. It's been running fine except for one thing.
I have one site, internal to us, that sendmail times out on. This site has
their own IT, so they run their own mail server.
I can telnet to port 25 of their box just fine, but sendmail gives me (names
changed to protect the innocent):
[root@mail /root]# mailq
LAA17716* 2177 Mon Nov 29 11:29 <jd...@example1.com>
(Deferred: Connection timed out with mail.example2.com.)
However, if I:
[root@mail /root]# telnet mail.example2.com 25
Trying w.x.y.z...
Connected to mail.example2.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 example2.com ESMTP SomeSMTPServer.
QUIT
221 example2.com SomeSMTPServer closing connection
Connection closed by foreign host.
..and it comes up almost immediately.
If I 'sendmail -v -q', I get the same timeout.
So basically, sendmail is delivering to everyone outside of my facility. To
this one, internal to my WAN, I'm getting timeouts. But I can ping,
traceroute and telnet to it just fine.
Strange, or am I missing something simple? Thanks.

The original problem was, when using Printtool to set up my
HP non-PostScript printer, a Printtool PostScript test page
was not aligned properly. The solution is to add the following
line at the bottom of the "gs_init.ps" file (found in the /usr/share/ghostscript/5.10
directory tree):
72 x mul 72 y mul translate
where x and y are the offsets (in inches) to correct the misalignment. Remember
the origin of the page is at the lower-left corner, so if, say, the page is 0.1" too
low and 0.2 inches too far to the right, you would enter:
72 -0.2 mul 72 0.1 mul translate

P.S. For Linda and Paul: If you don't use PostScript files, what do you print
on you Linux box?

Reply-To: li...@llug.sep.bnl.gov
Dear LLUG,
I'm installing Redhat 6.1, Gnome workstation, for 4 computers. Does
anyone know where the default banner message is located? I want to change
the "welcome to x20b" that comes up on the Gnome login window. Thanks.
Also, for anyone using gnome desktop out there....how does one deposit
Applet-nn.desktop files into some repository for a default desktop that
would be installed into users' home directories? I've tried copying
the contents of .gnome over to a new user's directory, but the
desktop applets don't appear on the gnome panel even when I edit the
Applet_Config to get the paths right.
Thanks,
Jean

I claim to be no maven, but try this:
telnet theirSMTPserver
HELO your.box.name
MAIL FROM: yo...@email.address
RCPT TO: som...@on.that.server
DATA
This is a test
.
If it hiccups on the MAIL or RCPT, check DNS is my suggestion. Make
sure hosts can reverse and forard lookup.

I have not started my X server in months on my server, but I got this
today. Anyone know what is causing this?
Yes, Font server is running and I even restarted it.
_XSERVTransSocketINETCreateListener: ...SocketCreateListener() failed
_XSERVTransMakeAllCOTSServerListeners: server already running
Fatal server error:
Cannot establish any listening sockets - Make sure an X server isn't
already running
When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send
the full server output, not just the last messages
_X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit: Connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server
xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
