RE: quick network engineering review question
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 02 Jun '05

If the cable you normally have is a crossover, it should be marked as such. Did you make it yourself in days gone by? Sometimes they are printed on the cable "crossover" or they have a special colored band on each end near the connector. You can also put the two ends together and compare the wire color order (the end should be clear). If they are in the same order, then it is normal (straight thru, if several seem mixed up, then it is a crossover. I don't see why your setup with the hub or switch wouldn't work. Probably a hub is better since all ports receive the same messages. Then you need to put a PC with Linux in there on the hub, with at least one network card in promiscuous mode. Google that and you will find out how to do it. There are then several tools that you can use to sniff. Snort, ethereal, snarf, etc., Google TCP/IP traffic sniffing. One thing I just thought of. The packets coming in to the router may be in chunks like frames. Your standard PC NIC may not be able to decode them. I reserve the right to be wrong and admit it in an open forum. You have some research ahead of you anyway. >-----Original Message----- >From: kclug-bounces(a)kclug.org [mailto:kclug-bounces@kclug.org] >On Behalf Of crash3m >Sent: Thursday, June 02, 2005 1:06 PM >To: kclug(a)kclug.org >Subject: Re: quick network engineering review question > > >Maybe if you explained why you need to sniff the traffic someone could >offer a solution.

PHP5
by Jonathan Hutchins 01 Jun '05

01 Jun '05

Any comments on upgrading PHP4 to PHP5, on Fedora/Apache2? Client says their site is all custom built and the programmer wants to make the switch. I'd like to stick within the RPM system, but be able to switch back to 4 quickly as he finds things that break (if any).

Just curious how many of you have bothered to turn off the ident feature in sendmail - does it still default to on?

Re: Firefox sercurity questions
by rcedelman＠comcast.net 30 May '05

SuSE's Online Update has the 1.04 update. It's still better to wait for SuSE to release the update and grab it that way, than using the built-in Firefox updater. If there's any differences in the way SuSE builds firefox, you'll get the 'correct' version through the YaST Online Update. Likewise, if you use the Firefox method, you do risk breaking something. Just my 2 cents.

courier-imapd disconnecting and leaving stale connections
by Jack 30 May '05

30 May '05

Ok, this is more an annoyance than anything else. I suspect I have something missing in my configuration for courier. Frequently while I have an imap session up it will disconnect at the server and leave the connection process up on the server. This prevents my email client from downloading anymore messages until I either close the email client, and the browser if it is Mozilla/ Thunderbird. Or by kill -SIGHUP of the offending process. I'm forcing imap over a secure connection and using a 9xx port. This doesn't happen with local connection that squirrelmail uses. Anyone experience similar behavior? Google was no help, or I didn't ask the right question. Thanks, Brian D. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

RoadRunner outages
by Jonathan Hutchins 27 May '05

27 May '05

Anybody else seeing outages on RoadRunner in the early morning hours? I've noticed it for several weeks - being six hours ahead in England, 2:00 - 5:00 AM here is 8:00 - 11:00 there, prime time to connect. I'm wondering if it's something in the nightly maintenance run on this old PC that runs the firewall. Never used to bother it that I know of, but the timing's right. It's running RH 7.3. I need to find a way of snapshotting the load on it in the wee hours when I don't want to be up.

You have to chose KC, KS, then goto quick links and click network status and scroll down to the Internet Connectivity. Thanks, jonathan
