The onboard LAN and sound is supported in standard marcello kernels, but you'll need a newer -ac kernel (I use 2.4.20-pre8-ac2), if you want to be able to use NVIDIA's 3D accel. drivers via AGPGART. Finally I can play UT2003demo on my P4S533. ;) The 2.4.20-pre8-ac2 also gave me UDMA support for the SIS5133 onboard IDE controller. With a standard 2.4.18 kernel (not supporting SIS5133) I only got 3 MB/sec for disk reads (tested with hdparm -tT). With the new 2.4.20-pre8-ac2 and UDMA enabled I get 46 MB/sec. /frederik -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I made some notes for myself last time I installed the combo you
mention. Maybe you can use some of it, maybe you can't. The patch I
refer to is a slightly edited version of the courier patch that is
included in the amavisd-new Debian package. I had to slighty adjust the
pacth here and there - otherwise it would not apply cleanly (maybe this
has changed since I did my install?).
I hope to have gotten everything written down, but I haven't yet
followed/verified my written down instructions myself yet, so there may
in fact be bits of pieces missing in this 'recipe'. Anyhow, here goes:
# Install amavisd-new with all dependencies
sudo apt-get install amavisd-new
update-rc.d -f amavis remove
update-rc.d amavis defaults 21 21
# Now fetch sources, courier patch, and rebuild
sudo apt-get source amavisd-new
sudo apt-get build-dep amavisd-new
chown -R frederik:frederik amavisd-new* (as root)
cd amavisd-new-20030616p10
cp debian/etc/amavisd.conf .
wget \
http://sentinel.dk/linux/debian/patches/amavisd-new-courier-debian.patch
cat amavisd-new-courier-debian.patch | patch -p0
cp amavisd.conf debian/etc/amavisd.conf
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -us -uc
# Install new patched package to replace the unpatched one
sudo dpkg -i amavisd-new_20030616p10-3_all.deb
## Configuration notes
# Run amavisd-new via manual start/stop (and not via courierfilter).
# In amavisd.conf:
$mydomain = 'sentinel.dk';
$daemon_user = 'amavis';
$daemon_group = 'daemon';
$pid_file = "/var/run/amavis/amavisd.pid";
$lock_file = "/var/run/amavis/amavisd.lock";
$forward_method = undef;
$notify_method = 'pipe:flags=q argv=/usr/sbin/sendmail -f \
${sender} -- ${recipient}';
$unix_socketname = "/var/lib/courier/allfilters/amavisd";
$unix_socket_protocol = 'courier';
# Set various file ownership and permissions.
touch /var/log/amavis.log
chown amavis:daemon /var/log/amavis.log
chmod 640 /var/log/amavis.log
chown -R amavis:daemon /var/lib/amavis
find /var/lib/amavis -type d -exec chmod 750 {} \;
find /var/lib/amavis -type f -exec chmod 640 {} \;
# Activate amavisd-new as a filter through courierfilter/filterctl.
ln -sf /usr/sbin/amavisd-new /usr/lib/courier/filters/amavisd
chmod 755 /var/lib/courier/allfilters
# Ensure that /etc/courier/enablefiltering exists and contains "esmtp".
# This is default for Debian installations, btw.
# Restart amavisd-new
/etc/init.d/amavis restart
# If clamav is not already member of secondary groups daemon and
# amavis, add it manually and restart clamav for changes to take effect.

Yes, http://sentinel.dk/linux/debian/patches/amavisd-new-courier-debian.patch is my modified version of the original courier patch. My modified patch will apply cleanly to the amavisd-new sources in Debian, whereas the original patch (named amavisd-new-courier.patch) does not apply cleanly, simply because the Debian package maintainers of amavisd-new have made small changes to the amavisd-new sources (which the original courier patch, of course, does not know about). > Did amavisd-new in your setup work with full features?

My experience it this: Bought an Zyxel ZyAIR B-2000v2 last year around this time. It was awful (maybe I was just unlucky and got a bad unit. dunno). It would crash in no time when I tried forcing the external NIC to run at a particular speed and duplex (the ZyAIR would not auto-negotiate with the cable modem I had at that time). Also, it would lose its configuration over and over again and return to default/factory values. Returned it to the shop after 2 days doing nothing but trying to get it behave properly. Since then I have been using a small Linux machine as wireless AP, and this just makes it so much easier to really be in control of your AP. -- Frederik Dannemare | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=Frederik+Dannemare http://frederik.dannemare.net | http://www.linuxworlddomination.dk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Lots of info out there about the problems with it. On the other hand, if you cycle keys often and traffic volume on your wlan is low, you are probably safe. For example I tried aircrack against my wlan some time ago, but "gave up" after 10 days or so. Not enough traffic to analyze.

I have been using the Courier Mail Server Suite (usually with MySQL as backend to store mail users) for about two years now on various mail servers, and I have been very pleased with it. It is feature rich and actively developed with an active community that seems to grow every day. Also, I like the idea of having smtpd, imapd, popd, mailing list manager and mail filtering[1] provided by the same developer(s). Also, Stefan Hornburg does a good job maintaining the Courier packages in Debian. Integration with spamassassin is trivial, however, integration amavisd-new is not (small patch by Martin Orr is required). Not a big problem, but maybe worth mentioning.

They overlap each other a fair bit, but I believe (pls correct me if I'm wrong) hostap has become the most mature of the two. Also, with hostap you can have your NIC act as an wireless access point for other NICs to connect to which is pretty neat.

(Is device in use?) [ snip ] Wild guess: Are you using alsa with oss emulation when running music123? If so, you might have loaded a kernel module that is registering /dev/dsp, thus preventing alsa from being able to access dsp for oss emulation. If this is in fact the case you should see something like unable to register OSS PCM device 0:0 unable to register OSS mixer device 0:0 in your logs. At least I had this problem to begin with going from oss to alsa. In my case it was the module called audio (for usb audio) that caused me my problems. Assuming you use alsa, I also believe you shouldn't load es1371 for your sound card. Alsa sound modules (all?) begin with 'snd_' (I suspect you should load snd-ens1371 instead, but I could easily be wrong).

Assuming that discover/hotplug automatically loads the necessary modules for your wlan card, you probably don't need to do much other than adding an entry in /etc/network/interfaces similar to this: auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet static address 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 After doing that, issue an 'ifup wlan0'.

Where is it set? Increasing your APT::Cache-Limit should help.

Enable mod_rewrite (if it's not already):
cd /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
ln -s ../mods-available/rewrite.load .
Then add somethign like this to your sites-available/default:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteLog /tmp/rewrite.log
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(index.html)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(picture1.jpg)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(picture2.jpg)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/(stylesheet.css)$
RewriteRule ^.+$ http://your.apache.box/index.html [R,L]
Restart Apache...
Disable RewriteLog (or certainly lower RewriteLogLevel) when you have
things the way you want them. Otherwise, the log file will grow really
big in no time.
Read more about mod_rewrite at
<http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/mod_rewrite.html>. It's a rather
complex module that can do all sorts of rewriting.

Back in 2002 I asked on lkml a question similar to yours <http://www.uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0211.3/0583.html>. Rik Van Riel mentioned his fairsched <http://surriel.com/patches/>, but it looks like it's not been ported to recent kernels.

Using 'policy drop' for outgoing traffic, and then explicitly allowing certain traffic would do what you want, if I understand your question correctly.

[ snip ] Why not just use connection tracking? Load the ip_conntrack_ftp module and create proper iptables rules. Iptables will then be able to recognize the high-port connection as RELATED to the original connection to port 21.
