mail logs, constant connect/disconnect from one site

After disabling relays.osirusoft.com (DNSRBL), I was checking my mail logs and found hundreds of: wahoo postfix/smtpd[21655]: connect from unknown[61.248.137.183] wahoo postfix/smtpd[21655]: disconnect from unknown[61.248.137.183] Parsing input: 61.248.137.183 host 61.248.137.183 (getting name) no name Reporting addresses: spamrelay(a)certcc.or.kr postmaster(a)shinbiro.com abuse(a)shinbiro.com and [pls forgive long lines] wahoo postfix/smtpd[7629]: connect from CPE0050f2c347af-CM400026310183.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com[65.48.226.202] wahoo postfix/smtpd[7629]: disconnect from CPE0050f2c347af-CM400026310183.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com[65.48.226.202] and several others over the last 4/5 days.

Restoring my 8.2 system
by Alfredo Cole 30 Aug '03

30 Aug '03

Hi: I have some problems compiling software, after installing gcc 3.3.1. Other updates may have happened through YOU. What I would like to do, is restore my system to the way it was before. Since I don't know what other dependencies may have changed, I was wondering if reinstalling from CD's, as an update, would do the trick. Any ideas? Doing a fresh install erasing everything would be a last resort, to be avoided if at all possible. Thank you. -- Alfredo J. Cole http://www.acyc.com http://www.clshonduras.com

has anyone noticed that VNP performance is a drag lately?
by pheonix1t 30 Aug '03

30 Aug '03

hello, I just wanted to ask if anyone else is seeing this. Before last week, all the VPN's we manage were running great. Then, the storm of MS crap hit the net very heavy. Ever since then, our VPN performance has been much slower. We've checked all internal issues...all clean. My impression is that the ISP's are still dealing with getting rid of those worms/viruses. It is getting better - slowly! I've noticed the ping response times are getting better from last week. I saw times averages in the low 1,000's! Now we get around 300-500. We used to have average around low 100's.... Is anyone else experiencing this too? Just wondering.... Oskar

Video camera to vcd?
by Constant Brouerius van Nidek 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

A fortnight of video images has been made of a short holiday. Before this video is going home with one of the participants, I would like to burn a vcd with the captured pictures. Images are on a Video 8 cassette and the camera can be connected with my video card with a cable. I run Kwintv on my SuSE 8.2. What do I need to make a copy? -- NTReader v0.36w(P)/Beta (Registered) in conjunction with Net-Tamer.

Need help with 3Ware RAID card setup....
by Tom Nielsen 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

I got a 7000-2 and I'm trying to setup my drives for RAID1. Here's the catch, the existing drive has been in the machine for about 2 months. I just got the card and the second drive. I want to setup an array for the 2 drives but in order for that to happen, data on my existing drive will be deleted....I don't want that to happen. Does anyone know a way around this? Can't I just dd my exiting drive to my new drive and then setup the array from there? I don't see why data from the first drive needs to be deleted. Thanks, Tom -- Tom Nielsen Neuro Logic Systems 805.389.5435 x18 www.neuro-logic.com

SuSE 8.2 PCMCIA card not detected
by Andre Truter 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

I installed SuSE 8.2 on a Mecer T1100 laptop (This is a local brand and could be a rebranded FIC or Toshiba). It is an old laptop - P1-133, 64 MB RAM. The installation went all very well, except that the PCMCIA card was not detected. dmesg does not show any PCMCIA stuff. When I use the YaST tool to show hardware info, it just says that PCMCIA is available, but it does not show any devices. Any pointers on how to get this working? Googling has not given me any answers yet. Thanks This is what the log file show during boot: --<snip>-- rcpcmcia: /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o rcpcmcia: Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o rcpcmcia: Symbol version prefix '' kernel: Linux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22 kernel: options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] rcpcmcia: /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o rcpcmcia: Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o rcpcmcia: Symbol version prefix '' rcpcmcia: /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o: init_module: No such device rcpcmcia: /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o failed rcpcmcia: /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.o: insmod yenta_socket failed rcpcmcia: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. rcpcmcia: You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg rcpcmcia: /sbin/insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o rcpcmcia: Using /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o rcpcmcia: Symbol version prefix '' kernel: ds: no socket drivers loaded! rcpcmcia: /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: init_module: Operation not permitted rcpcmcia: /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o failed rcpcmcia: /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o: insmod ds failed rcpcmcia: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by incorrect module parameters, including invalid IO or IRQ parameters. rcpcmcia: You may find more information in syslog or the output from dmesg cardmgr[381]: modpath = /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB/ cardmgr[381]: modsubdir = pcmcia cardmgr[381]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices kernel: unloading Kernel Card Services --<snip>-- -- Andre Truter Software Engineer Registered Linux user #185282 ICQ #40935899 AIM: trusoftzaf http://www.trusoft.za.net ~ A dinosaur is a salamander designed to Mil Spec ~

I only need Linux on these machines ...
by Thinker 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Hello All, I am helping a friend set up some boxes for a make shift office. There will be 5 people working in an open area. They have decided to rely solely on Linux for all Software needs. It seems that he has the capital to purchase 3 brand new laptops and 2 brand new desktops. Trouble is, we can't find anywhere that will sell us what we want without some M$ OS already installed. We would like to use IBM or HP machines if possible and of course we would prefer SuSE 8.2 as the distro (either pre-installed or we can install it post purchase). The main concern is to have a company to stand behind the hardware and support us if we are using Linux as the OS. Any ideas ? Thanks, -=Thinker

Thinking about 3ware and Raid 1+0 performance
by Greg Freemyer 29 Aug '03

29 Aug '03

Earlier this week I put a 4-channel 3ware card into a new SuSE box. I set it up as Raid 1+0 with default stripe size. Then I performed the following on 3 different setups: sync; date; dd if=/dev/zero of=target bs=64k count=100000; sync; date There was no other activity on the machines and all had the same motherboard and disk drives (7200rpm ATAs). I tried Pure ATA 3-ware Raid 1 3-ware Raid 1+0 To my great surprise I found pure ATA to be the fastest and Raid 1+0 to be the slowest by far. (30% slower than Raid 1) In particular using iostat -d 10 during the above test I was only getting 15,000 blocks per second being written out. I was expecting 50,000 blocks per second. Is there anyone useing 3ware with Raid 1+0 that is getting higher throughput than 15,000? If so, can you give details of your config. Thanks Greg
