Have you tried creating a file with a colon in its name by hand? I just tested it, both ext3 and samba don't have a problem with it (only Windows clients don't like it). With which error message does it fail? Tammo > -Original Message- > From: Adam Hardy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent:

PS: the file with a colon in its name comes from a Mac? From what I just read, the Mac OS FS (HFS+) doesn't support colons in filenames. http://www.xvsxp.com/files/forbidden.php Tammo > -Original Message- > From: Adam Hardy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, October 15, 2008 1

I think you're confusing MRT (Multi-Threaded Routing Toolkit) and MRTG (Multi-Router Traffic Grapher). > -Original Message- > From: Clifford W. Hansen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2008 11:35 AM > To: debian-user@lists.debian.org > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subj

Addendum: the symlinks can be easily created/removed using the commands a2ensite and a2dissite, respectively. I usually forget they exist and do it by hand though =)     From:Cassiel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2008 10:51 AM To: Debian User List Subject: Re: ap

man syslogd: -m interval The syslogd logs a mark timestamp regularly. The default interval between two -- MARK -- lines is 20 minutes. This can be changed with this option. Setting the interval to zero turns it off entirely. > -Original Message- > From: Volkan YAZICI [m

I'd go with postfix, which also already provides a reasonably short default "localhost only" configuration and is pretty secure by design. Compared to sendmail, the configuration is easily comprehensible and extensible for everybody (again adding to security). I wouldn't recommend working with se

RE: Which --delete* to Use in 'rsync'

2008-08-21 Thread Tammo Schuelke
The during or after options should be a bit faster because rsync already knows what to delete and doesn't have to scan for changes, but especially after may cause problems if a directory changes into a file or the other way round. I don't know how rsync handles such cases, the option should prob

RE: What to do about SSH brute force attempts?

2008-08-21 Thread Tammo Schuelke
If you have an existing userbase, you can't just switch to public key authentication, depending on the type of customer. pubkey auth is also generally inconvenient if people tend to use different computers. This is also a problem we just ran into. Fortunately, recent versions of OpenSSH support

RE: Which USB stick for Debian root filesystem

I'm using Sandisk Cruzer Contour sticks for this purpose (with our firewall hosts for example). They're quite durable and fast. USB sticks generally have problems when it comes to many write cycles (shouldn't fail within such a short time though, mean time between failure is about one million wr

Last time I tried roundcube it had some serious security issues (possible mysql injections). Overall the code quality seemed very unsteady. But maybe this got better in the meantime. > On 08/20/2008 01:53 PM, Lucas Mocellin wrote: > > Nowadays, Atmail is free. > > > > look at atmail.com, this is

I usually do so (or create debian packages myself), but since they already provide amd64 Debian etch packages I just installed them with dpkg, e.g. http://www.zmanda.com/downloads/community/Amanda/2.6.0p1/Debian-Etch/amanda-backup-client_2.6.0p1-1_amd64.deb Unfortunately, the package has a diffe
