Finally a thread to show our vast medical knowledge. Sounds like a head trauma as well as badly fractured arm. I worry about that every time I ride. Here's wishing Chris a full and speedy recovery (well, within the speed limits of course).

Chris Bier (Cymor/Evil_machine) was in a motorcycle accedent on sunday, and is going to have surgury today for a open fractur on his arm. I was told he was ok, and that his helmet only had a few scratches, and his body armor wasn't damaged at all. He's been sitting in the hospital. I don't know what hospital or anything yet.

Spelling counts. Spamassassin now running and email coming in. I still have some frozen email, but only because it's really malformed spam, from Russia with love. It's not blocking all spam though, going to have to look at upgrading it, but not to crazy about mixing "stable" and "testing" on a "in the wild" server. Now I can update my howto for spamassassin. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeremy Turner > > > On Mon, October 25, 2004 1:28 pm, Brian Densmore said: > > Also, you can run: > > # exim -v -qff > > and it'll force frozen messages to thaw and attempt to > deliver/relay them, > giving you feedback as it goes. > >

Thanks for the link. Seems I forgot to start spamd and needed to add a transport and a director to exim. Now to let it run for a while and see what happens. I'm also running spamhous RBL on it, but it's not catching very many of the spams. I may also have to upgrade my spamassassin to a newer version, according to the link you sent. Right now I'm hoping I didn't break anything, because there are some frozen messages on the system. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeremy Turner > > > On Mon, October 25, 2004 11:48 am, Brian Densmore said: > > Ok today, I tried something to get spamassassin working on my box. > > > > The mail arrived in the regular mailbox, but I got this message > > back from the server: > > > [SNIP] > > So what have I done wrong here?

spamassassin question
by Brian Densmore 25 Oct '04

25 Oct '04

Ok today, I tried something to get spamassassin working on my box. The mail arrived in the regular mailbox, but I got this message back from the server: ************************************ This message was created automatically by mail delivery software (Exim). A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed: pipe to |/usr/bin/procmail generated by brian(a)amason.net The following text was generated during the delivery attempt: ------ pipe to |/usr/bin/procmail generated by brian(a)amason.net ------ Could not lock /home/brian/Maildir/: File exists at /usr/share/perl5/Mail/SpamAssassin/NoMailAudit.pm line 381. procmail: Program failure (70) of "/usr/bin/spamassassin" procmail: Rescue of unfiltered data succeeded *********************************** So what have I done wrong here? Does the "rescue" message mean it sent it without filtering, and that is why I got the mail? my .forward looks like this for the time being: |/usr/bin/procmail /home/brian/Maildir I may have to do some tweaking in my ~/.procmailrc file, but it looks like procmail is functioning, but I need to tweak spamassassin. "The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else." --Theodore Roosevelt, Kansas City Star, May 7, 1918

RE: It was bound to happen - suspected hack
by aaron hirsch 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

I'd modify the hosts.allow file a bit more... i.e. sshd: localhost 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 12.30.163.* ALL:ALL:DENY This is a "catch-all" that is a best practice just incase the hosts.deny is misconfigured or not configured at all, although the ALL:ALL in your hosts.deny is correct. It will deny access to all services that tcpd monitors to everything as a last resort. Hence, if it's not explicitly defined to be allowed, it is by default denied. Just an idea... -----Original Message----- From: Jon Moss [mailto:jon.moss@cnonline.net] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 7:03 AM To: kclug(a)kclug.org Subject: Re: It was bound to happen - suspected hack I've been researching sshd and allowing/denying access and I think I have figured it out. Just please confirm that I'm on the right track. I edited my hosts.allow as follows: # # hosts.allow This file describes the names of the hosts which are # allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # sshd: localhost 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 12.30.163.* And then my hosts.deny as follows: # # hosts.deny This file describes the names of the hosts which are # *not* allowed to use the local INET services, as decided # by the '/usr/sbin/tcpd' server. # # The portmap line is redundant, but it is left to remind you that # the new secure portmap uses hosts.deny and hosts.allow. In particular # you should know that NFS uses portmap! ALL : ALL However, I don't really have anyway to test this as I allowed access from everywhere that I am. :) Any suggestions and advice is still greatly appreciated. -- Thanks very much, Jon Moss jon.moss(a)cnonline.net _______________________________________________ Kclug mailing list Kclug(a)kclug.org http://kclug.org/mailman/listinfo/kclug
