IPTABLES Questions: CISCO-style routing?
by Joe Brouhard 24 Mar '09

24 Mar '09

Just a general question. I know I can build IPTABLES to do security, firealling, stateful packet inspection... but I've had this nagging question: Can it do routing (IP routing) the same way CISCO IOS can ? I'm looking for an easier-on-the-budget solution to some of my business' routing issues. Thanks in advance. -- Joe Brouhard jbrouhard(a)gmail.com

OT: My wife's Campground is opening Real soon and we wish to give KCLUG folks a priority chance to...
by Oren Beck 21 Mar '09

21 Mar '09

The Campground my wife owns is in it's pre-opening rush. Which means opportunity for anyone in KCLUG wishing to trade skills/labor for camping, and even some payments in cash for select items. And even some services we might pay for:. We prefer to spend money and/or barter credits with group members. The short list of skills/services is sort of obvious. 1. Manual Labor of the "cub/boy scout troop to do litter patrol and haul debris to burn piles kind. A bonfire the likes of which most scouts rarely get to see could follow. t2 The use of a small backhoe and bobcat type units for a few hours emergency repair type work now- and later operations in the summer. Folks having sources of cheap construction supplies,delivered here would Be best- but beggars can't be picky. 3.We need a RESERVATION PROGRAM if anyone has such skills- and yes- you would be able to retain sale rights of the system subject to the campground getting licence #1 as part of the deal.. 4.. All the other skills called "Remodelling are needed. 5." Anyone having a commercial paint sprayer and being good at using it would be terrific. These tasks could get a whole bunch of camping nights Call or email with questions. This is NOT spamming the list,Tt's making a legit offer of barter to group member's Thanks in advance . -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

Help? PCLinuxOS 2007 KDE 3.5.9. lost window decorations....again
by Julie 18 Mar '09

18 Mar '09

Hi Everyone, OK, here's the scoop: I made the colossal mistake up going into Synaptic and checking updates to the screen saver apps already showing installed but having those updates to add. During installation of the updates I got an Error message that stated over and over again that it could not connect with the Debian and internode mirrors. After that is when it lost lost some of the window decorations. E.G.: Window Boarders, the _ , minimize/maximize box and the red X up at the right hand upper corner of the window. This occurs in ALL windows no matter where one navigates or what mode one is in. Also, a couple of games come up in a minimized window that is totally unmovable. The clock, clipboard and volume icons are missing from the task-bar as well. I also lost some of the screen savers...one of which is the clock one that I like to use. AND "Configure your computer" won't open at all no matter how one goes about trying to do so. I *can* still navigate by using the words at the top of the windows. Thank heavens they are still there! Here's the fly in the ointment. I have some files on there that I need to try to keep if at all possible. I can not put them on floppy for a couple of reasons. First, if those of you who helped me the last time I did this can recall, the subsequent re-installation of the OS didn't pick up the floppy drive and no one could get it to. I didn't think I'd really need it, anyway, so I let that go. Plus some of my RPMs are a *lot* bigger than "1.4 mb". So putting files on floppy is out due to that. The specs on the computer that I'm using to learn PCLOS on are: Pentium III-1000/700 CPU 128MB of SDRAM 256KB L2 cache PCLinuxOS 2007/KDE 15-inch active-matrix screen ATI Rage Mobility 128 graphics chip with 8MB of SGRAM 20GB hard drive, 8X DVD-ROM drive V.90 modem network adapter As you can see, the DVD-ROM drive is _not_ a "Writer". Therefore, I can not burn those files that I would like to keep. NOW, I've posted about this in a couple of non-Linux forums and had only a very small handful of people address my problem. Two of which said, in essence, that it is possible to reinstall the OS/Root account/partition while leaving the user account/partition ALONE. The rest didn't have any info that I could use. Well, I do not know how to do that. ...Or, at least I don't recall an option coming up during installation to do that. So, can someone please help me out here or off list? I can not make it to the meeting due to transportation challenges at this time. Any help from anyone will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance. Julie

Nostalgia, old BBS door games
by Kyle Sexton 09 Mar '09

09 Mar '09

I've setup a server dedicated to running old BBS door games that everyone here is welcome to join. If you don't know what a BBS is this probably won't interest you much, but I'm sure there are a few others on here that grew up calling into these things. Some members of the BBS have already donated money so games are slowly being registered. Currently the door games running are: Legend of the Red Dragon Barren Realms Elite Planets: TEOS Trade Wars: 2002 Usurper Falcon's Eye If you have one you remember and loved, let me know and I'll get it online for you. You can access it two ways, plain old telnet to port 23 on bbs.mocker.org, or use the java telnet client at http://bbs.mocker.org. The java client is useful because you don't have to tweak anything to get the ANSI to display properly. It's a little finicky, for some reason old DOS games don't love running on current hardware. If you have any issues let me know and I'll try to resolve them. PS - I'm going to get to Violet first! -- "So I says, 'Tell me I'm wrong, baby!' And he says, 'I can't, baby, 'cause you're not!'"
