NNTPCache - Access List
by Subba Rao 21 Jun '03

21 Jun '03

Hi, I am new to NNTPCache server. The compilation and installation went fine but I am having little trouble understanding the configuration. The following is some of the configuration from nntpcache.config file: ====================================================== # the default policy is no access. # the following line reverses this # # host patern group permissions filters userfiles # * * read,post # whatever is not denied is permitted; we are now a woodstock access file. # cooling! # but hendrix is dead, and the world has moved into a new reign # of conservatism. not so cool. * * deny # we are now a french legal system access file. users are guilty until # proven innocent (mmmmmmmmmmmmmm. guilty users). Okay, okay it's # the French legal system before la pr?somption d'innocence. # # credentials for internal nocem daemon <nocem@nntpcache> * read,quick # developers get full access to everything, regardless # of what subsequent rules say # polysynaptic.iq.org * read,post,quick # allow anyone from localhost to conncet to the web statistics port localhost <http> read,quick # full access for our local network localhost * read,post,filter spam.filter suburbia.net * read,post ====================================================== The first line says the default policy is "no access" and yet it opens it up to pretty much everything. The configuration says that the developers have full access no matter what the configuration file says. Is this the developers sick joke while documenting the configuration file or is it real? According to the configuration.access file, there are a bunch of sites and servers that can access the server. Although my iptables would limit that access, is there lot careless access to the new servers these days? -- Subba Rao subba9(a)cablespeed.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Old American Wild West saying: God created men but Colt made them equal.

Re: [ILUG-BOM] Red Hat Linux 9 booting problem
by kaze＠sdf.lonestar.org 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

Dear Pankaj, My system developed exactly the same problem when I installed Redhat 9.0. The LoadModule fails for various modules. When I further analyzed the problem, I realized that the files containing these modules were getting erased. Then, it hit me: The filesystem was corrupted. This was further evident when I went into the directories containing the X Windows Files- doing a grep there elicited I/O errors. I tried replacing them, but it didn't work. And no, an fsck didn't help either. All this inspite of the fact that I was using a _very_ new hardisk. I dont think its the harddisk (it'd better not be- there are some vendor necks that might get badly wrung if it is so) I have been using Redhat Distros right frm 6.x. But none of them have given me such probs. How old is your hard-disk? Anyway, for the present, if you want to proceed with your trial, use Redhat 8.0 instead of 9.0, and see what happens. The Debian distros seem to be better, but since you guys might end up using Linux for commercial purposes (as opposed to hobby purposes,) I'd suggest you carry on with Redhat (though admittedly, there might be an issue with RH 9.0). In the meanwhile, I'll fish around and get in touch with other users on this and other GLUGs, and on IRC hangouts, and see if any folks have this kind of a prob. If yes, I'll package an error report and send it to out. Other Gluggers- any comments? Have I missed out something in my line of thinking? And yes- anybody with screwed up file systems on RH 9.0? Yours, KZ -----------In respo to-------------------------- Dear Sir, We are using Red Hat Linux version 9.0 personnel edition. We have installed Custom-Everything on one of our PC on trial. After every say two-three days, we have the following stated problem. Only Re-Installing Linux 9 finds the solution to us. It do not upgrade as well. : :
