by Andy Stewart

Hi everybody, This is just a reminder of the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held on Thursday, June 14th at 7:00 PM in Kinnicutt Hall at WPI (aka the usual place). At this meeting, WLUG member Tim Keller will be giving a talk on Logical Volume Management (LVM). More details about this talk can be found on the WLUG website. Here are some websites which I've found that are related to Linux and/or LVM: http://www.sistina.com/lvm http://www.sistina.com/lvm/doc/LVM-HOWTO http://ibgwww.Colorado.EDU/~lessem/psyc5112/usail/peripherals/disks/logical/ After the meeting, we'll adjourn to the Boynton Restaurant and all are welcome to join us.

dual PII/PIII motherboard of questionable origin up for grabs

The WPI Linux Association received a donation of a SuperMicro SUPER P6DBE dual PII/PIII 440BX motherboard (http://www.supermicro.com/PRODUCT/MotherBoards/440BX/p6dbe.htm) The original owner upgraded because it was flaky and thought the parallel port was bad, but upon buying a new motherboard found that it was his fubared sound card causing flakiness, so I'm under the assumption that this motherboard should be good or at least workable, but of course there are NO GUARANTEES.

MegaMeeting

by Andy Stewart

HI gang, USDataCenters is holding a meeting in Marlboro, MA on Wednesday, June 6, 2001 for a number of Boston area computer user groups. Most of these groups are Windows related, but not all. I have signed up to represent WLUG. GNHLUG, BLU, and (I think) MWBLUG will also be in attendance. If you want more information, or perhaps you'd like to attend as well, check out this website: http://www.BostonUserGroups.com/MegaMeeting/Default.htm Preregistration is required so please sign up if you plan to attend. I tried to get a table just for WLUG, but they have run out of tables. The Boston Linux and Unix User Group was kind enough to allow us to share some space with them (many thanks to Jerry Feldman). I'll be seeking out the local Kinkos for printing up some flyers this weekend. If anybody does plan to go, please drop me an e-mail just to let me know. Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

New WLUG website

by Andy Stewart

HI everybody, The WLUG website has been moved to a new location. I'd like to thank Rob Bellville for hosting the WLUG website for us for the last 3.5 years! Unfortunately, the ISP that Rob was using is "going away" so the site needed a new home. Chuck Anderson has volunteered to host the WLUG website on his machine - thanks, Chuck! I will still maintain my role to keep the site up to date with meeting announcements and such. The change should be totally transparent to all of you. You will continue to access the site via: http://www.wlug.org You will know if you are seeing the new site since it says "**NEW**" near the top. As the DNS change is propagated around the Internet, eventually you'll all see the new site. Don't freak out if you don't catch the new site immediately...they both have identical content. I won't remove the files from the old site just yet until we're sure that the transition has been completed successfully. If you have problems accessing the site, please let me know. Thanks, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

REMINDER: Meeting Wednesday, May 16th, 7:00 PM

by Andy Stewart

Hi everybody, This is a reminder about the upcoming WLUG meeting, to be held in Kinnicutt Hall (a.k.a the usual place) at WPI at 7:00 PM on Wednesday, May 16h. The topic for discussion will be the practical use of IPCHAINS. What does that mean? This meeting, Doug Waud and I will present to you ways to use IPCHAINS to implement a firewall. This is not theory, this is practice...what to type, what it does, and why. This talk will build on the more detailed information presented by Bob Ziegler at our last meeting. Doug will start with a presentation of the simpler case of getting a firewall up which supports masquerading (that is, getting multiple machines on your home network to share one IP address, as you would for cable modem, for example), e-mail, and browsing. I will follow up with more detailed examples of IPCHAINS code from my own firewall script for allowing certain services through the firewall to the home network. Although firewalling is a complex topic, we're hoping to distill out of that complexity enough information so that a person can get started toward implementing a secure firewall. I'm looking forward to a good turnout at this meeting. Come on down! Later, Andy -- Andy Stewart, Founder Worcester Linux Users' Group Worcester, MA USA http://www.wlug.org

A VPN is a good idea. PPTP, however, isn't. I highly recomend using some other VPN setup, if at all possible. PPTP on linux doesn't excatly give you a rock solid network conneciton. But, if you have no other options, there are both a client and a server for linux. The server is called PoPToP. Search freshmeat for it. The client lives at http://merced.needsabeating.com/pptp.html.

Well, so far it's not been a problem, although I keep a close watch on suspicious activity. (You'll notice entries for hosts allow and hosts deny. So far that seems to be pretty effective, although I do notice twits trying to access and being denied): hosts allow = 192.168.3.0/255.255.255.224 192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0 128.119.216.0/255.255.255.0 216.175.212.192/255.255.255.240 hosts deny = all # <- no other machines can access Perhaps you could suggest conf options that allows [incoming] connections, but don't broadcast availability (i.e. is 'invicible' to all but people that know that that machine is a smb server).

Hey I was looking at the sample smb.conf file (and I've set up a bunch of samba servers as well) and I saw something odd (well odd for me) -- start cut -- # Configure Samba to use multiple interfaces # If you have multiple network interfaces then you must list them # here. See the man page for details. interfaces = 192.168.3.1 24.91.122.146 -- end cut --
