It depends on the ftp server. For the vanilla "netkit" one,
there is no such thing as an "ftp account", only the normal
user account info stored in /etc/passwd.
 

That depends on the mail server you're running and what you
mean by "account". Most mail servers have an alias feature so
you can set up an N:1 mapping from e-mail addresses to a
username.
 

You'll have to read the docs for your mail server.

Perhaps if you state what ftp and mail servers you're using and
what exactly your trying to accomplish, somebody could come up
with some more specific answers.

I had a similar problem too - I've been through several distros
recently, and can't remember which it was :-( Probably FC6. Anyway, I
ended up toggling every mute switch off and on in alsamixer - seemed to
help things for no very obvious reason.

Aha, thank you. Indirectly it also told me what I must have done.

I downloaded switchdesk and ran it. That told me that gnome wasn't
installed, which I know it was, and told me what to do to install gnome. I
did that, and it actuslly only installed about half a dozen or so
packages, the rest having already been installed. At which point it all
ran perfectly.

When I first installed, I had gone through and added all the extra bits I
wanted, and got rid of stuff I thought I didn't need, including a load of
bluetooth packages, and these were the only packages that were reinstalled.

Even though I don't have bluetooth hardware on my machine, gnome appears
to still need the packages installed to run. I guess you really do learn
something new every day.

Many thanks.

Dave

router not routing?

Posted: 29 Nov 2006 02:34 AM PST

On Thu, 30 Nov 2006, in the Usenet newsgroup comp.os.linux.networking, in
article <ekmr4q$q0h$org>, freightcar wrote: 

Yes, and in general those systems are not meant to be accessible from the
world. One example - two of my ISPs use RFC1918 addresses for the internal
servers meant to be accessed by customers, and NOT be the world at large.
This sometimes shows up when doing a traceroute, where such an address is
assigned to intermediate routers. This usage is to save "real" IP
addresses for globally accessible systems. It may come as a shock to some,
but those routers don't offer services (other than routing packets), and
the provider really doesn't want you to be able to connect to them.

The other reason for handing out RFC1918 addresses and NATing them is for
situations where the ISP is allowing customers to be clients ONLY and
not allowing them to run servers. If the customer wants to run a server,
they can buy the more expensive 'business' service (though the official
reason for using RFC1918 addresses may be "to protect you" from being
turned into zombie servers).

Further to other peoples comments, if you want to stop references to

hosts.deny: how do i test to see if hosts.deny is working

Why not use iptables and protect all your server programs?

Or if you want to use hosts.deny, why not have hosts.deny deny everything
and use hosts.allow to selectively allow those sites you wish to hear from?
That way if you overlook something, you are (over)protected.
