Help: Web Server with a Cable Modem

@tornado.rdc-kc.rr.com:
 

You could put the linux server behind the cable modem and wireless router
and then setup the wireless router to forward traffic port 80 or whatever
to the IP address of the linux server. My ISP aliases port 80 for me so
I can run a webserver here. It sits behind a linksys wrt54g and traffic
on http/https goes to it.

I've had that setup for a long time and it works very well :)

Passive means what during FTP?

Misconfigured firewalling.
 

Yes. Passive mode is more secure(able) though.
 

Which means the server needs to (re)claim root privilege :-( ...
Vsftpd drops root after bind()ing to port 21 entirely, if setup to
passive-mode only.
 

Ofcource this beaks "ftps" (SSL/TLS encripting atleast the control channel.)
Since the (otherwise) statefull firewalling code, cannot look inside the
packets. You'd have no choise but to allow any connection from port 20 to
your 1024-65535 range.
 

Yes. And the port in in the range: >1024
 

Nope. The client connects from port >1024 , so the connection looks like:

Request PASV:

Client port >1024 ==> Server port 21

Server opens a local port >1024 listener, and tells the client about it,
client connects to that port for data transfer:

Client port >1024 ==> Server port >1024
 

No it does not. It only needs to allow outgoing connections from ports
above 1023 (or, and tighter: whatever the ip_local_port_range is set to)
to the server ports 21 and 1024-65535 ...

And since it's only outbound connections (initiated from the client) there
isn't any problem in encripting the control connection, i.e.: ftps
 

Well, you could do that. But it doesn't buy anything since the ports are
in closed state already, untill the server starts a listener for some data
connection which in turn triggers the "firewall" to poke a hole. So you'd
be "protecting" closed ports only - which seems kind of silly to me ...

Now again what this _does_ do is break SSL/TLS encripting of the control
channel (which, when configured correctly, provides some _actual_ security.)

Simply setup the server to use a passive port-range, and allow that
through the firewall. If the Netfilter is host-based (i.e.: local) one can
even configure it to allow outbound (reply) packets, in that range, from
the account the server runs as only ( man iptables <-- look for "owner" .)
 

Any Masq/NAT machine on the _client_ network isn't a problem (even with
SSL/TLS), provided: passive-mode is used ...
 

No they don't. Only if either active-mode needs to be supported, or the
NAT machine is in front of the _server_ network (in which case you'll need
to port-forward 21 and the passive-data range.)

Never do this. Always, always, always make the Windows hard drive the first
drive. That's what it thinks it is when you installed it, since it was the
"first" and only drive on the controller.

Your work with the Linux installation is easily salvaged by using the Linux
installation media to munt the Linux hard drive, edit /etc/fstab and
/etc/mtab to match the swapped drives, edit /etc/boot/* files to match the
new layout, and re-run grub-install as desired.

This would make the Windows drive "hd0" and the Linux drive "hd1". It's just
a lot easier to manage this way, believe me. If you want to do otherwise,
you'll need to manipulate the mounting of hard drives in your grub or other
optiions so that your Linux drive is forced to show up as hd0 and your
Windows drive forced to show up as hd1. The Wiindows OS isn't necessarily as
smart about it, it's easier to get the Linux OS to trick things than it is
to reset what your bootable drive is in Windows.

Dual head on PCI express platform

Posted: 28 May 2005 09:55 AM PDT

Hello Rod,

I have been using ATI RADION X300 SERIES adapter on ASUS MB with Intel
915P chip set for 4 months. So far, there has not been any problem with
it.

I dualboot windowsxp and RHEL4.0, KNL 2.6.
The card comes with dual integrated display controllers and is an entry
level card with 128MB & 4 pipe rendering architecture. It provides
full support for Microsoft DirectX 9, and ATI's SmartShader and
SmoothVision

This card is not for serious gaming, but supports today's game
titles and modeling software I use on the windows shine as well.

The detailed features are at:
http://www.ati.com/products/radeonx300/index.html

Regarding DOs and DONTs, the RHEL4.0 & FC3 supports the X300 graphic
card. But I do not know for Scientific Linux.

The problem I encounter with the 915P is the onboard Intel ICH6R raid
controller. Up to RHEL4.0 & FC3, it is not supported at installation
time.

The worst thing is that if the SATAs are configured in RAID mode, the
installation does not detects them. Which leaves on board raid feature
unusable, even if you have extra SATAs not in raid, combined with
others SATAs on RAID.

I read on the net that Mendriva 10.1 supports it, but I haven't tested
yet. And further more, it is tailored towards Desktop use rather than
server use.

Hope this helps you in someway.

Something sounds a little off base. If the user selected a task, how can

Depending on what the macro is designed to do, I can envision the user
selecting a task from a task type view (e.g. Gantt Chart) or an
assignment in the Resource Usage view or perhaps a task in the Task
Usage view. These are all valid task selections and can be handled in
the code. The user will never select a task in a pure resource type of
view, such as the Resource Sheet, because there are no tasks in a pure
resource view?

Although I understand that users can sometimes do some "unconventional"

well advised, but from what you have explained, the need for error traps
isn't all that apparent.

how long will take me to complete Project self-learning?

I've been using Project for about 10 years and training for about 18 years.
I figure it's only within the last 5 years I began to truly understand the
way Project is best used to manage projects but then my BS degree includes
an economics minor to help relate the theory to the software.

If your goal is to become a trainer in MS Project, unlike other Office
applications like Word for example, learning the software inside and out is
only the starting point. You simply must understand WHY it acts the way it
does as well as understanding what it does and how it does it. As I like to
put it, you don't need to be a professional writer to understand everything
there is to know about Word but you do need to understand the discipline of
formal project manager to go beyond the bare basics with Project.

Project Resources \ Splitting Resources

Posted: 24 Jan 2005 04:33 AM PST

One thing you need to double check right away is the way you are
interpretting the resource assignment percentage. If I have a resource
assigned 40%, that means he's producing the equivalent of 40% of the total
duration in man-hours, NOT that he's doing 40% of the total work required on
the task. In your example it happens to work out the same but it is by no
means universal that it will.

Essentially you are asking Project to exhibit a mixture of non-effort driven
and effort driven behaviors. AFAIK, that'll either have to be done by hand
or though VB.

Additionally, if you are assigning resources to the tasks (not sure exactly
what you mean when you say that you 'don't care about resource loading'),
you will need to go into the resource sheet and change all of the resources'
base calendars and these do not automatically change when you choose a
calendar other than standard under project / project info.

unknown cab file required

Posted: 23 Jan 2005 04:37 PM PST

Cab files are loaded on your computer when you update your software. It is
not on any disks. It is how the computer determines what updates you've had
and what you need. You need to clean up the windows installer. Go to
Microsoft.com and look for Windows Installer Cleanup. The actual program is
msicuu.exe. Most likely you removed a program but didn't completely clean it
up and when trying to reinstall, the new program is looking for the cab
file. Load the cleanup program and remove the offending file. I just went
through this when I was having trouble removing Office and then removed it
in a roundabout way and couldn't get it to work after reinstalling.

Its definately something on the client side that is causing this corruption

Now as far as I know the only thing past the ISP that could touch the
attachments is the anti-virus scanning the attachments.

Sorry I cant be of much further assistance, I can only say ask them to stop
their virus scanning while you do a quick test and then switch it back on.
or send a mail to their ISP and see if they can open and ask them to see if

You can make the script run against a particular OU if you want. Not sure
how it would interact with Outlook.

All you need to do is:
- lookup AD for password age limit on the domain
- query each user's pwdLastSet attrib (it's an integer, will require
conversion)
- do the math and figure out if their password will expire in X days
(whatever you wanted X to be)
- If expires in X days or less, lookup user's email address, send email to

password policy, and how many days they have to change it before it expires.

Thanks Jim. In my previous job I used Exchange 5.5 which would take its mail
from the ISP-provided email account (where all our employee's emails were
sent to via the MX records in our domain name's DNS settings). Exchange 5.5
would use a connector which had the setup information of the ISP-related
email account and would poll the account for new messages on a periodic run.
Exchange 5.5 would then take all the msgs and distribute them to the
relevant mailboxes.

We run MS Windows Server 2003 Standard with Exchange 2003. I've never used
Ex2003 b4 so I was confused when I couldn't find the settings where it polls
to pickup its mail. Thanks for the info.

Spell check in OE?

Posted: 12 Oct 2006 11:13 AM PDT

Thanks for providing a link to those "fixes". Actually I have tried some
similar, if not the same, fixes but in the end it was just easier to
download another spell checker and move on. Guess I'm just lazy, but in the
end there just didn't seem to be any real advantages in persisting with
attempts to make the spell checker in Works function in OE when another
spell checker would work just as well. Course, I could be wrong.

Calendar error.

Posted: 11 Oct 2006 04:26 PM PDT

I decided to start from scratch. I uninstalled Works and then went
through and removed any files left behind and then reinstalled from
original install disc and then ran the update. Happy to say that
everything works just fine now. Lee

WksSb.exe - Entry Point Not Found

Posted: 11 Oct 2006 07:21 AM PDT

1) 6.0.3221.2

2) 6.0.3221.2

But be advised, I followed the suggestions from Ken above, so files were overwritten with the reinstall of WORKS. I can tell you that the date on both files is 8/23/2001. The date on the file that WAS in 1) was 3/something/2006 after installing Office 2007 beta and before reinstalling Works.

Hello Bob

Can you give me the following information -

Version number of WKWBL.dll in the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Works
folder

and the version number of WKWBL.dll in the C:\Program Files\Common
Files\microsoft shared\Works shared folder.

To find Version number please right click on the EXE and click on the
version Tab.

Microsoft Works 6.0 Calendar is shared between users

Posted: 10 Oct 2006 09:36 AM PDT

Thanks Kevin.

Kind of takes away the charm of setting a reminder for her surprise birthday
party, if you know what I mean. :)

Can anyone recommend a product that affords a little more privacy?

Works 8.5 adding hours / minutes

Posted: 09 Oct 2006 07:35 PM PDT

Hi cadgmcman,

Perhaps this helps :-)

When a time value is entered, internally the computer stores the
hours and minutes as the equivalent number of days,
e.g. 05:48 = 0.242, 3dp

The Format menu allows you to display this on a 24 hr time scale
if required. The maximum displayed value is equivalent to 23:59,
before the clock resets at midnight. This gives the impression that
the summing of Time values is incorrect and that hours are lost.

However, that is only for the display. The actual total continues
correctly where the calculation is retained by Works spreadsheet
in units of days. e.g 14:45 + 11:30 = 1.094 days

Interestingly, perhaps, if you were to sum a number of cells
where the total number of hours exceeds 24 and formatted this
to time, you would get the correct number of hours and minutes
in the following partial day akin to the result of =MOD(TIME,24)

For the above example times,

14:45, 11:30 = 02:15 AM, in effect, the next day to the start
time and 0.094 into that day.

However, you are not interested in CLOCK times but in
DURATION times, where the numbers should not reset, as
on a clock but are to continue, as along an unbroken event i.e.
total workout time.

We are therefore not interested in AM/PM and will use the
underlying day units to record total session times.

Perhaps this helps you create a solution to your query.

In cell A2, enter the session date, formatted as a data option.
In cell B2, enter the session duration as a time value hh:mm.
Repeat for all sessions to date.
Lets say we just completed row 6 by entering workout times
of; 07:30, 11:15, 11:30 and 09:30 and 07:45.
Leave a blank row ( to insert further sessions above ).
In cell B8, enter =SUM(B2:B7), formatted as number, set to 2dp.
This should read 1.98, which can be translated as follows,

In cell C8, =INT(B8) whole number of days
In cell D8, =INT(MOD(B8,1)*24) plus whole number of hours
In cell E8, =MOD(INT(B8*24*60),60) plus minutes
i.e. 1day 23hrs 30mins

In cell D9 =INT(B8*24) whole number of hours
In cell E9 =MOD(INT(B8*24*60),60) plus minutes (as above).
i.e. 47 hours and 30 minutes

If you place the text 'Date' in cell A1 and 'Duration' in cell B1,
then you can create a graph, if required.

Highlight cells A1:B6

Choose the toolbar button, New chart

Choose X-Y(Scatter) chart ( to monitor breaks in training).

Click OK, you should see a chart showing duration and date.

Right-Click on one of the markers.
Choose Shading and color.
Select a Color, say Red.
Select a Line Style, say a Solid Line
Choose a Marker Style, say Hollow Diamond.
Press Format.

If you are happy with the above choices, press Close
else change your choices to suit, then press Close.

When ready, you may press F3 to return to the data sheet.
Press F3 again to view the chart.

A working example, with 2 types of charts, is available from here:

Hola Jim Macklin.....obviously you were sitting waiting with a STUPID
answer....if you read the two questions you would have noticed the
difference in the two but NO you were too quick to answer with an ignorant
