nfs questions!!!
by bruce 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

hi... i've kind of setup nfs... but i have some questions/issues. 1) how do i allow the nfs on the client to always be active. currently i've had to do a "mount 192...:/foo/data /data" to be able to share the drive.. i know there's a way to setup the system to have the nfs always setup on boot-up. 2) i add a file to the shared dir from the nfs system. i try to edit it from a client, and i can't. as a client, i can copy the file to my local dir, and edit it.. but as a client, i can't overwrite the file on the nfs share. any pointers/thoughts would be helpful... i'm missing something in the docs that i've bben looking at. thanks -bruce

RE: Web-design in Fedora

> Can anyone suggest a good tutorial or howto > for someone designing a web-site (their first) > intended to run under Apache/Fedora ? > Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. I learned from a book called "HTML 4 for the world wide web" (fourth edition) by Elizabeth Castro. I can't imagine a better, easier book to follow and understand. And it's an extreemly good reference book. If you want to look up how to do something specific... you go right to that page. I have since lost touch with the (constant and endless) changes with creating web pages and web sites. But HTML 4 is a very solid, basic language that should run on most (if not all) browsers. Any browser specific tags (in the book) are clearly listed as such. Hope this helps, Rocco

Fetchmail problems
by Anne Wilson 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

From time to time I get fetchmail problems, and don't understand what the error messages are telling me: fetchmail -a fetchmail: socket error while fetching from pop3.tiscali.co.uk fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) fetchmail: Query status=2 (SOCKET) Frequently this is followed by: fetchmail: another foreground fetchmail is running at 18351. Is this a Tiscali problem, or is there something I can do about it? Anne

IPTABLES question
by Michael Yep 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

Hello I know that the preferred way of controlling access is to use whitelists, but for my case I'd like to use IP blacklisting. Now using a script like #!/bin/bash if [ -f badips.txt ] then for BAD_IP in `cat badips.txt` do iptables -A INPUT -s $BAD_IP -j DROP done else echo "Can't read badips.txt" fi I have like 96 banned IPs so far. I am wondering about the possible performance hit on my system, and the limits of iptables. What if I have thousands? -- Michael Yep Development / Technical Operations RemoteLink, Inc. 26W161 Plank Rd Naperville, IL 60563-3422 Website: www.remotelink.com Direct: 800-362-9446 x164 Fax: 630-983-0364 GPG Key 0x126439D9 Your Link to Effective Business Communications!
