UNIX Developer Positions
by B.J. Herbison 02 Mar '01

02 Mar '01

HighGround Systems has a couple of positions open for experienced UNIX developers. Our current storage resource management products support several versions of UNIX, and we expect to do more UNIX work when our purchase by Sun Microsystems is completed. Two of the current positions have UNIX in the title, but most of the open positions list UNIX as a relevant technology. Please send me your resume if you are interested in one of the positions. B.J.

I'm about to take the plunge and get hooked up to Charter Cable for internet access. Does anyone have any experience/recommendations for cable modems? Is it better to buy my own, and from where? TIA, Bill

I was very successful last time in mailing this list when I was looking for a UNIX (Solaris) admin [about a year ago I sent a similar message in which Adam responded and has been working at UMASS since].

If you know anyone and or you are interested please email me your resume and I will forward it to the powers to be. Thanks And sorry for the spam :) Al

Hmmm. Perhaps they have a proxy in-line and the proxy is having trouble. ccb -- Charles C. Bennett, Jr. VA LiNUX Systems Systems Engineer, Northeast US 25 Burlington Mall Rd., Suite 300 +1 617 543-6513 Burlington, MA 01803-4145 ccb(a)valinux.com www.valinux.com

Network problem: mine or theirs?
by Andy Stewart 24 Feb '01

24 Feb '01

Hi all, I have a problem accessing the Internet. On precisely every other attempt, I get failures. For example, every other unique URL I click in Netscape gives me the following error: A network error occurred while Netscape was receiving data. (Network error: connection reset by peer) Try connecting again. I suspect that my network provider's DNS server is having problems. Since I'm a DHCP client of AT&T Broadband, I tried removing all but one of the nameserver lines in the /etc/resolv.conf file to see if one of them was flaky. After trying all 3 provided nameservers uniquely, either this isn't the problem, or they're all flaky. Any thoughts? Thanks, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder -o) | It is easier to change the specification Worcester Linux Users' Group /\ | to fit the program than vice versa.

PPPD 2.3.11 on kernel 2.4.1
by Peter Gutowski 23 Feb '01

23 Feb '01

I've got kernel 2.4.1 up and running and am pleased that all seems to be relatively well. My boss has an iMac at home and dials in via a ppp connection to one of my linux boxes running now 2.4.1. I've played with various ppp options and have removed just about everything from the /etc/ppp/options file. Feb 23 11:37:15 lx1 pppd[10485]: pppd 2.3.11 started by a_ppp, uid 0 Feb 23 11:37:15 lx1 pppd[10485]: ioctl(PPPIOCGFLAGS): Invalid argument Feb 23 11:37:15 lx1 pppd[10485]: tcsetattr: Invalid argument Feb 23 11:37:15 lx1 pppd[10485]: Exit. Here's the current modules: (root on lx1) peterg # lsmod Module Size Used by iptable_mangle 1884 0 (unused) iptable_filter 1848 0 (unused) ip_tables 13016 2 [iptable_mangle iptable_filter] slip 5688 0 (unused) bsd_comp 4172 0 (unused) ppp_deflate 41148 0 (unused) ppp_async 6060 0 ppp_generic 13088 0 [bsd_comp ppp_deflate ppp_async] slhc 4836 0 [ppp_generic] 3c59x 23420 2 (autoclean) agpgart 21900 0 (unused) I also happened to read something this morning on lwn.net (http://lwn.net/2001/0222/kernel.php3) that suggested that certain ppp things weren't working because the MTU min size was higher than ppp wanted to set. As it suggested i've done: `echo 256 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/min_adv_mss` to no avail! I keep suggesting (lately increasingly less subtly) that he consider a cable modem but so far he still wants to do it this way. Any ideas? -- Peter Gutowski peterg(a)powervue.com http://www.powervue.com/~peterg

To: wlug.org message board manager
by Alexander S. Leon 22 Feb '01

The postings on the message board at wlug.org have the wrong year attached to them. I posted a message on 2/21/01, and the date on it is "2/21/00", instead of "2/21/01". This ought to be corrected. I hope this gets to the right person...

ssh
by Brad Noyes 20 Feb '01

20 Feb '01

Hi, When i pop my mail i create a tunnel through ssh, and pop through that. Using this command "ssh -C -f me(a)pop.myserver -L 10110:pop.myserver:110 sleep 30" Well every time i create the tunnel i have to enter my password for the pop server. Is there a way to use ssh tools so i don't have to enter my password? I'm using kmail is that's relevant. Thanks, --Brad
