High-speed access questions
by Gregory Avedissian
It seems like most of the providers say that you need windows or mac to
use their DSL or cable internet. Does this just mean they won't offer
tech support for linux, or does it mean that it won't work? I'm planning
on using a router and having two computers connected.
Has anyone had luck with linux and Verizon DSL? They're down to
$35/month, and they give you the modem. Anyone know of better deals?
Thanks.

traceroute troubles
by gma2004＠verizon.net
I'm having trouble getting traceroutes to go out with my slick new dsl
connection. The modem has a router built into it, and even with its
internal firewall turned off, the only output I get from a traceroute is
the router'r IP number and times, followed by 29 lines of stars.
I tried shutting down the network and using my dialup account, and
traceroute works fine. I know it's not the firewall on my machine,
because it makes no difference if it's on or off with the dsl, and
traceroute works on the dialup with the firewall running. (Yes, I did
remember to change the default path in the firewall config from eth0 to
ppp0)
Any ideas? Is this likely to be something built into the dsl modem, or
something with Verizon? Or might I have something screwed up in my
network setup? I can ping my other computers and I can ping out to the
internet ok.
Thanks,

ssh known_hosts
by Bill Mills-Curran
I'm having a problem with known (or unknown!) hosts since changing the
IP address on a server.
Server info:
Redhat 8.0
ssh -V: OpenSSH_3.4p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090602f
Client info:
Redhat 9
ssh -V: OpenSSH_3.5p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090701f
When logging into the server, I'm getting the following message:
RSA host key for IP address '10.14.36.204' not in list of known hosts.
I've played around with ~/.ssh/known_hosts (even renaming it), but I
still get the message. Looking at the documentation for the
known_hosts file format (in sshd man page), my current known_hosts
file, looks quite a bit different (many fields are omitted).
Why do I get the message, and how do I get rid of it?
TIA,
Bill

Reminder: WLUG Meeting
by Andy Stewart
HI everybody,
This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Thursday,
April 22, at 7:00 PM at the usual place (the Access Grid room at WPI).
At this meeting, we'll be having a PGP keysigning party, as described by Chuck
Anderson in an email earlier this week. I hope a few people will be there to
share how they make this work from their favorite email program. I haven't
been entirely successful with Kmail, but I'll share just the same.
Even if you don't have a PGP key, come over anyway to learn about this
technology and to chat with others.
I'd also be happy to relate to you the results of the "Introduction to Linux"
class which I've recently finished teaching for the Chelmsford Community
Education program. I'll be teaching this class again in September, and we're
currently planning a much more advanced class.
Also, bring along your ideas for future meetings!
Afterwards, we'll venture out for pizza and beer at the newly renovated
Boynton Restaurant - you won't recognize the place!
See ya later,
Andy

Free systems to good home...
by Theo Van Dinter
I thought I'd throw this out and see if anyone was interested...
I've got 3 machines just sitting around collecting dust that I'd like to
give away. They're pretty much base-bones (case, ps, mb, cpu) although
I may have some memory for the P120 and the P200 (have to check when I
get home):
P120, Mini-Tower
P166, Full Tower
P200 Overdrive, Mini-Tower
If you're interested in grabbing one of these, let me know and I'll
bring it along to the meeting tomorrow night. :)

Signed e-mails and Kmail
by Andy Stewart
Hi all,
I'm playing around with digital signatures in e-mail, and I have that working
on Kmail (KDE) wnen I send the e-mail. However, when I receive a signed
e-mail, Kmail isn't able to automatically check the validity of the signature
(unless I sent it).
Within Kmail, I click on Settings->Configure Kmail->Security and point to
libgpgme.so in the Crypto Plugins tab. I select that plugin and activate it.
I then click the "configure" button and try to start the certificate manager.
>From the KGpgCertManager, I get an error indicating that the symbol
"initialize" was not found in libkdenetwork.so.2.
I'm running SuSE 9.0 Pro, Kmail 1.5.4, and KDE 3.1.4.
I've scoured the net to no avail. Does anybody have this working in Kmail?
Thanks,
Andy

Next meeting - topic?
by Andy Stewart
HI all,
We have a meeting coming up on Thursday, April 22, but we have neither a topic
nor a speaker. Since I am fully consumed in my job search and the layoff
process, I won't be able to do a presentation this month. I am seeking a
volunteer - please?? :-)
Now, now, don't push and shove, I know many of you are eager for such a
challenge. Please contact me by email and we can work out the details.
Thanks in advance!
Andy
