The Lighter Side: Network Administration Thermodynamics Posted on Friday, March 12, 2004 by Sean D. Conway A method for labelling users before you invest all your energy in them. In the human network, administrators struggle to understand those they serve (managers and users) and live at peace in their network.

IP / QoS Question
by Shahed Moolji 22 Mar '04

22 Mar '04

Hello, I am trying to find information on how I can set a priority flag in the ToS field of an IP packet in Linux. I was reading a DLink document, which mentioned that new NIC cards have this capability to enable QoS on networks. However, I was unable to google any info on how to do this in Linux using ioctl / socket API calls (???) at the application level. I am new to all this, so I am quite sure I am not looking in the right places :-( Thanks for any pointer. Regards Shahed.

Just compare the output with this for sanchar.com, if u have got the ip address 210.210.109.1 , means ur dns querys are right, their has to be some other problem. what error does the browser return?? does it return errors mentioning the local proxy server (squid proxy i assume)?? check for the sites on a client machine rather then on the server. and one thing are all these sites hosted with satyam?? if thats the case check with satyam people as well. thats the only thing i have found common in these sites. but all of them are accessible from our places check with ur local ISP as well if they have blocked some of satyams IPs etc. Regards Yayati. # dig www.samachar.com ; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> www.samachar.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 28270 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 2 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;www.samachar.com.

If you are wondering where this all comes from and why is it free, and where it is going: here is the answer! This software is about Resistance ina babylon world which tries to control and limit the way we communicate and we share informations and knowledge. This software is for all those who cannot afford to have the latest expensive hardware to speak out their words of consciousness and good will. This software has a full range of application for the production and not only the fruition of information, it's a full multimedia studio and has nothing to envy to other proprietary systems, because freedom and share of knowledge are solid principles for evolution and that's where this software comes from. This software is free, Jah Rastafari Livity bless your freedom!

And Much blessings in Jah luv to all those who still resist. Selah. :: DOCKING RUNS FAST FROM HARDDISK To run dyne:bolic from your harddisk you just need about 600MBytes of free space on one of your partitions, then you put the CD inside while running your usual installed operating system (even winblows) and then you copy the /dyne directory inside your partition (at the root of your harddisk, like in C:\). That's it! now every time you boot from CD it will find the locally stored system and will use that, ejecting the CD as it is not needed anymore - so you'll also have a CD reader that you can use! :: ADVANCED SOUND COMPOSITION AND SYNTHESIS - DYNE:TRAX Dyne:bolic it's the FIRST GNU/Linux distribution including the state of the art in terms of GNU/Linux based free software for musicians: using the professional device support offered by the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture drivers, it includes the low latency daemon JACK-IT to connect together input and outputs of various sound applications, in fact offering a multiple audio rack composed of the great variety of free software available.

GNU Libidn 0.4.2 alpha released (fwd)
by Frederick Noronha (FN) 22 Mar '04

22 Mar '04

---------- Forwarded message ---------- GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode and IDNA specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized Domain Names (IDN) working group, used for internationalized domain names. The library contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode 3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibitation of characters, and bidirectional character handling. Profiles for Nameprep, iSCSI, SASL and XMPP are included. Punycode and ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via IDNA are supported. A mechanism to define Top-Level Domain (TLD) specific validation tables, and to compare strings against those tables, is included. Default tables for some TLDs are also included. Here are the compressed sources: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libidn/libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz (1.6) http://josefsson.org/libidn/releases/libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz (1.6MB) Here are GPG detached signatures: ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/libidn/libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz.sig http://josefsson.org/libidn/releases/libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz.sig Here are the build reports for various platforms: http://josefsson.org/autobuild/libidn.html Here are the MD5 and SHA1 signatures: 194d3d8e68501d3363f3842d83b96f1f libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz 6bd33d45963945b760fa56e007598bb196a3d893 libidn-0.4.2.tar.gz Noteworthy changes since version 0.4.0 (the last version announced here): * Version 0.4.2 (released 2004-03-20) ** A Punycode implementation in Java was added, by Oliver Hitz. Eventually hopefully a StringPrep, Nameprep and IDNA implementation will be added as well. Currently you need to specify --enable-java to enable the Java interface. The Java sources (below java/) are compiled into byte-code (not native code) into a JAR library. ** More translations. Added Danish (by Morten Bo Johansen), French (by Michel Robitaille), Polish (by Jakub Bogusz), and Serbian (by Aleksandar Jelenak). ** Norwegian TLD table added, by Thomas Jacob. ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version. * Version 0.4.1 (released 2004-03-08) ** The user messages from the command line utility are now translated. Currently English and Swedish is supported. ** Logic of stringprep_locale_charset modified. Future versions will use, in order, $CHARSET iff defined, nl_langinfo (CODESET) iff working, or fall back to returning "ASCII". Earlier it attempted to guess the system locale, in contrast with the current application's locale, via some setlocale save/set/reset magic. This change may require you to invoke setlocale() in your application, which is (should be) required for non-ASCII to work anyway. Based on discussion with Ulrich Drepper. ** The command-line utility now invoke setlocale (LC_ALL, "") at startup. ** Fixed SASLprep tables to prohibit non-ASCII space in output. Non-ASCII space has always been mapped to ASCII space, so it is not clear this really have any effect, but the specification require it. ** Building Libidn as part of GLIBC has been updated. Refer to libc/README for more information. Incidentally, GLIBC in CVS now include a copy of Libidn. ** API and ABI is backwards compatible with the previous version. IDNA_DLOPEN_ERROR: ADD. Only used internally by Libidn in libc. _______________________________________________ GNU Announcement mailing list <info-gnu(a)gnu.org> http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/info-gnu

:::) singling out the culprit (:::
by BIJU KRISHNAN 22 Mar '04

Just type this on the gateway console # tcpdump you must be using a dual homed machine as your gateway not quite a efficient method BUT generally helps in finding which PC has a network virus or a trojan.... you'll see the affected machine ip just filling up your screen. If its a windows machine, just download sygate personal firewall available on download.com, its a freeware on the affected machine, check the applications that are accessing network resources using SPF, you'll definitely find the trojan.... If its a GNU/Linux machine then # ps -el should list all the running daemons......single out the unknown one use # pkill daemonName this is a patch fix but immediate solution that I use, the experts in the LUG would definitely give you a long term effective and mature solution. best of Luck ! bijucyborg www.getopensource.com Do you Yahoo!?

i have a very old 2 gb harddisk with a fat32 partition. i seriuosly doubt it will survive a format and repartitioning. it alrady is making noise and is on edge of its lifetime. is there any linux distro that can install (with X and few apps like mozilla, openoffice) on a fat32 partition ? __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
