[Alug]Problem 2 - Unkillable processes
by bsamuels＠beenthere-donethat.org.uk 27 Oct '03

27 Oct '03

Just recently I have started an application that then freezes. It shows in the list of processes viewed using something like KDE System Guard or Top but cannot be killed by using either of the above or 'kill' from the command line. Is there any way of killing these processes? The only way that I have found is to reboot which seems a bit drastic.

[Alug]Problem 1 - Snort and local LAN
by bsamuels＠beenthere-donethat.org.uk 26 Oct '03

26 Oct '03

My computer has two LAN sockets on eth0 and eth1. My home network is connected via eth0 and my ADSL router via eth1. I want Snort to disregard activity on either eth0 or eth1 and to monitor only traffic coming from the Internet where the router's address is 192.168.n.n. Debian has a DEBIAN_SNORT_HOME_NET variable which should be set to 192.168.n.n/nn. What do I need to set it to to disregard anything coming from 19.168.anything? I especially don't understand the net mask bit even though I have read a bit about it. Goes over the head I'm afraid.

[Alug]The Broadband Search Continues
by Nick Heppleston 24 Oct '03

24 Oct '03

As the title of this e-mail suggests, the search for broadband continues. After a brief dabble in wireless with a local ISP, which unfortunately came to nothing, I'm now investigating one-way satellite broadband. I've found a supplier called netsystems ( www.netsystem.com ) who use Astra for the downlink aspect of the connection. I can make a slight modification to my Sky dish (i.e. add a dual LNB) and pick up the signal. However, I need to invest in what Net Systems call a 'Sat Modem'. They ship a free Windows 'Sat Modem' when you sign up, but I'm interested to know whether anyone has ever come across a Linux compatible 'sat modem'? I may be forced to move my Gentoo based router to a Win2k install to benefit from the faster connection offered by the satellite (Help!!!!) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
