Configuring Squid Proxy Server
by The Linuxer 17 Jan '03

17 Jan '03

Hello, My friends' college has provided them with internet access in their hostel rooms. The proxy server located in the college runs Red Hat 7.3 & Squid as the proxy server. Although it works fine, it has two very serious problems: 1. It doesn't allow browsing any site with an underscore (_) in the URL. 2. Although the download speed is blazingly fast (around 60 Kbps), the messenger programs like Yahoo! & MSN run EXTREMELY slow & GAIM doesn't run at all. I suspect there is some problem in configuring the protocols supported by Squid. What can be the underlying problem ? Their NetAdmin as usual is totally oblivious about the whole thing. Please enlighten ...

RedHat Linux 7.2 crashes - Win2K doesn't!!!!!
by siddhartha.j＠netsol.co.in 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

Hi, I have RedHat Linux 7.2 installed alongwith Windows 2000 on my Compaq Desktop. Every once in a while Linux freezes mysteriously and Win2K never does (to my embarrasment since I advocate Linux at my workplace). I checked the bootlogs etc for any error messages but got none. So looking for help. What info should I post that could help someone troubleshoot the problem? I suspect the NIC or the video card drivers. TIA, Siddhartha

Hathway cable modem - high download counts
by Sitaram Chamarty 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

Hi, I live in Hyderabad but Hathway cable modem is not yet very common here, hence I am shamelessly posting to a Mumbai list with my question! My apologies! I have had this service (Hathway cable modem metered service, 300 MB/month limit) for almost a month now, and I am about to give up on it because what their website shows as my "usage" is far higher than what my iptables firewall shows I have downloaded (sum of all IP traffic coming to my machine). My observations are that if I stay online (without actually surfing) for more than 2-3 hours, this difference is quite noticeable. "ifconfig eth0" (which shows IP *plus* non-IP traffic, as opposed to iptables' input chain, which shows only IP traffic) is closer to what they claim is my "usage", and using tcpdump I realise that the difference is the constant stream of ARP traffic (amounting to about 300-500 KB/hour!) More bizarre, if I stay online beyond midnight, the next day the usage is almost double of what you would expect even from the "extra" caused by ARP being counted, so I'm effectively getting hit twice when I do that! Some serious double-counting bug in their software :-) My question to the group: has anyone in Mumbai noticed this? People using Windows will have no way easy way of detecting this, which may explain Hathway's extremely polite but otherwise apathetic attutude to my concerns, so I have to ask Linux people this question... Thank you! Sitaram

Anyone want latest Debian?
by Satya 16 Jan '03

16 Jan '03

I __may__ be coming to Mumbai in the next month. Anyone want the latest Debian? Or Redhat or whatever -- I can bring stuff which has ISO images available (and legal only, so don't ask for XP). I'll bring Debian for my box in Mumbai. It's 3.0r0 from an HTTP mirror in Austria. Or do we already have that? If I can borrow someone's installer for the latest stable Debian, I won't bring it along. -- Satya. <URL:http://satya.virtualave.net/> All generalizations are false, including this one.
