Re: [Wlug] Power Mac 6100s...

by Adam ＠ Oak

These are either 66 or 80 mhz PPC 601, Nu-Bus based Macs, hence the limitation to mkLinux and not LinuxPPC. Also I think they take 72 pin EDO. At some point Apple, in their infinite wisdom switched to 168 pin EDO, which a bitch to find. I think that was at the 7300 level though. -Adam On Fri, 18 Jan 2002, Michael Frysinger wrote: > what are the specs on it ? > -mike > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <rb(a)millbury.net> > To: <wlug(a)mail.wlug.org> > Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 12:56 PM > Subject: [Wlug] Power Mac 6100s... > > > > If anyone is interested in PowerMac 6100s for Linux or otherwise, please > > email me privately.

Power Mac 6100s...

by rb＠millbury.net

If anyone is interested in PowerMac 6100s for Linux or otherwise, please email me privately. I have a quantity of these units to trade off or sell cheap. I'm still working out the logistical details but wanted to see if anyone had any interest in these units. I've got one of them running mkLinux pretty well right now. - Rob

win4lin

by Skip Gaede

While looking through Tom's Hardware Guide for motherboard reviews, I ran across an interesting article on Win4Lin (http://www4.tomshardware.com/howto/01q4/011205/index.html) Has anyone used this product, or know any more details? This looks like a slick product... --Skip

Re: [Wlug] General firewall question

by Richard Goodman

Ziegler's book was the only firewalling book that made sense to me as a newbie 1+ years ago when I was trying to get an IPChains firewall installed on a DSL connected RH7 box. Just noticed this last week that the 2nd edition is out as of Oct 2001, which, while I haven't seen it yet, it is supposed to be updated for IPTables.

Re: [Wlug] General firewall question

by Andy Stewart

I played with Coyote Linux briefly, and I believe that it has the ability to do what you want. You might have to play with it a bit. Its advantage is its small size and you don't need a hard drive to run it. However, I seem to remember that you need a Linux system on which to unpack the tar ball and on which to run the scripts that create the single floppy image for the firewall. Double check, as my memory might be foggy. One might also opt for a minimal Linux installation with the addition of the necessary firewall software. I know that SuSE Linux has such an option in its canned installation. Robert Ziegler wrote a book entitled "Linux Firewalls" which I liked, but it is not for the fainthearted.

General firewall question

by Tim Trachimowicz

Hey folks... I'm currently running Apache on Win2K to serve a small personal webpage through my static IP assigned by my DSL provider. The machine is a "test" server but I'd like to secure it a little more. I've got a spare box sitting around that I'd like to use as a firewall/router, specifically with something like Coyote Linux/the LRP distros. I'm wondering if it's possible to use the DHCP features in such a firewall setup to pass the HTTP requests (router with static IP, server with a 192.168.x.x type IP) to the Win2K box AND limit the connections only to HTTP port 80 on the Win2K box. Next step would be a Win2K mailserver... Does this make sense or would a pure Linux server/IPtables type setup be easier?

NFS? problem

by Bill Mills-Curran

I have two linux boxes that have nfs-mounted a file system from a DG/UX server. One of them cannot read the directories properly. Here's a short Perl script: **************************************************************** #!/usr/bin/perl opendir(DIR, $ARGV[0]) or die; @files = readdir(DIR); print(join("\n", @files, '')); exit(0); **************************************************************** On server A: % uname -a Linux A 2.4.16 #1 SMP Fri Dec 14 15:31:54 EST 2001 i686 unknown On server B: % uname -a Linux B 2.4.2-2 #1 Sun Apr 8 20:41:30 EDT 2001 i686 unknown B is running the standard RedHat 7.1 kernel, while server A has been upgraded. On B, when I run the test script, supplying the name of an NFS directory (on the DG/UX server), I get the "right stuff" -- a good directory listing. On A, the same operation gives me nothing. No failure or anything. The script works find on local disks and on disks NFS mounted from a Sun server. The A server also has the reiserfs installed on an unrelated drive. The symptom is not limited to perl scripts. I get strange behavior from tcsh, too. Any ideas? Thanks, Bill
