Download it from www.pmfirewall.com To install, run the install script and answer the questions it presents you. When you've answered all the questions it creates a set of ipchains scripts for you which can be set to auto start at boot time plus you can start/stop the firewall at any time. It is SuSE compatible and works perfectly IMV. It works great for basic setups and seems very secure. You can customize the basic scripts as you wish as all it does is generate shell scripts for you.

One alternative you might try is to dump the file contents to a pipe mknod <thepipe> p (muck around with size) dd if =<the file > of=<the pipe> & <=== async tar cf <theoutput> <thepipe> I have used this to get around file size limitations loading large data files with sql loader (also limited to 2GB).

Apache 1.3 config change
by jmgrant＠primenet.com 04 Dec '00

04 Dec '00

Date: Mon, 04 Dec 2000 00:40:59 -0800 From: John Grant <jmgrant(a)primenet.com> Message-id: <20001204004059.A6675(a)primenet.com> Subject: Apache 1.3 config change I just spent a few whiles chasing my tail over an apache configuration gremlin. I think I figured out what the problem is, or at least a fix, and thought I'd post this note in the hopes of saving someone else some grief. I mention it here because I think I saw someone posting here about the same/related problem a while back. (Maybe come nice rpm compiler at SuSE could check the apache.rpm and make any necessary changes to the config files therein to clarify the situation too. :) The problem is that in the httpd.conf file are the following lines: -=-=-=- <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> [...] UserDir public_html # # Control access to UserDir directories. The following is an example # for a site where these directories are restricted to read-only. # #<Directory /*/public_html> # AllowOverride FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # Options MultiViews Indexes SymLinksIfOwnerMatch IncludesNoExec # <Limit GET POST OPTIONS PROPFIND> # Order allow,deny # Allow from all # </Limit> # <Limit PUT DELETE PATCH PROPPATCH MKCOL COPY MOVE LOCK UNLOCK> # Order deny,allow # Deny from all # </Limit> #</Directory> -=-=-=- This example is misleading. It seems that sometime between the time this example was added to the config file and the 1.3.4 version of apache that I'm using came out the processing of the <Directory> directive seems to have changed such that that second section doesn't work. If you uncomment the above directives for the public_html directory(s) apache processes them with no error, but they don't seem to be applied. Not the way you would expect according to the comments anyways. To make things work you could try simply changing, <Directory /*/public_html> [...] </Directory> in the example above to, <DirectoryMatch /.*/public_html> [...] </DirectoryMatch> .. and you should be in business. At least, that's how I got it working on one of my systems here. Hope this helps someone! -John
