squid MAC address configuration
by Hiten Desai 31 Dec '01

31 Dec '01

I found out this in man pages but I dont know how to do that anyone please tell me all the related commands and configurations for enabling mac address access control in squid thanks Hiten. To use ARP (MAC) access controls, you first need to compile in the optional code. Do this with the --enable-arp-acl configure option: % ./configure --enable-arp-acl ... % make clean % make If src/acl.c doesn't compile, then ARP ACLs are probably not supported on your system. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

You can either set them up in that partition, or have the local mail delivery program to deliver mail to some file in the users' directories.

4GB files in /lost+found
by Amish Mehta 29 Dec '01

29 Dec '01

Hi, Yesterday I was forced to hard reboot my Linux and when it passed through e2fsck it showed errors in lots of inodes. After going through fsck(where all I did is choose default answer) when I checked lost+found there were around 1200 files of size 4GB(HD space is 8GB). 'ls -l' doesnt show type of the file(it shows '?' question mark). Now if I try to remove those files it says 'Operation not permitted'. I also tried 'chmod 644' but that too fails. So now what are theses files? How do I remove these files? lost+found also shows several block and character devices, I was unable to remove those too. Is there a separate command say 'rmnod' to remove such files? Also my harddisk is NOW showing 1GB free, as far as I knew it only had 200MB space left, does it mean I have lost the files? Can this happen? I was under impression that any unattached inodes go to lost+found. Also there can't be 800MB of data open at time of reboot that all get corrupted and lost. But suprisingly all daily operations seem to be working fine. So point is where did free space come from? What files were lost? How do I find? I am totally lost :-) Thanks for help. Amish. P.S. Kernel version is 2.2.17 and I am using the machine since 2 yrs and is reasonably stable.

NIS (network information system or yellow pages as it was once known) existed when Windows NT was not even conceived. So comparing it with NT gives one the impression that NIS sort of imitates NT. The other way round may be true.
