I've got a few systems for trapping spam.  A modified set of Lars
Wirzenius's procmail filters ("spamfilter" in Debian), an asian-language
trap, and a few scripts to help automate the response process.

I'll post the whole mess at some point, but it's a bit unweildy (ugly,
but it works ;-).

I'm attaching one script I've been polishing over the past few days.  It
scans a message (or attachments) for URLs, gets the IP, then runs a
WHOIS query, extracts email addresses, and converts them to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" form.  abuse.net is a remailer run by John Levine, it
sends mail to known (or guessed) abuse reporting addresses for sites, as
well as sharing information with other services.  Spamcomp.net is a
similar service.  Substitute as appropriate.

My process in mutt is to pipe the message (or if it's encoded, an
attachment) through my script, paste the addresses into the "To:" line,
and send.  Results from ISPs are moderately impressive.  If nothing
else, ISPs will find they're getting massive complaints to spam.

The script isn't perfect.  It doesn't handle some obfuscated URL
(@-encoded, big-number URLs, though I'm working on it).  But it handles
most cases well.  I somewhat prefer the semi-auto nature of it as I have
some control over the actual execution and triggering.

The '-v' flag increases verbosity.

Peace.

Looks like you're using kernel PCMCIA, but this card is defined to use a
different module with David Hinds PCMCIA package.  You're using that for
the /etc/pcmcia/config, however, so the card is being identified as a
Wavelan compatible.

I think the general approach you have been taking is right, but after
you have changed that config file you have to (A) stop and start pcmcia
support (the config is read at startup) and (B) make sure the existing
entry that points it at wvlan_cs is gone.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Now I have tried this suggestion (dpkg --install), and IT WORKED. But, as you said, 
this gives dependency problems: some files were wrong (or not?) configured. Is there a 
way to cinfigure them afterwards? Or a way to know the order in wich to install them?

Not so much a conflict, as a replacement of.  (or you can think of it
as "conflicts" the same way our package system does, only one works at
a time.)

APM is (to catch anybody up who needs it) power management.  It has a very
limited amount of states.  Basically, it can yank a few chains, but suspend
is all or nothing, and you can go to RAM, or to disk.

ACPI is a newer standard.   In it the subsystems can be given more control
commands.

In the Linux kernel if you have ACPI compiled in, and an ACPI capable chipset
then that's it, you get ACPI, and APM will not be used.

Which means, that your problem is not *directly* related to them conflicting.
What is much more likely is..

On modern systems APM and ACPI are both supported, but it's a crap shoot which
behaves better.  Some manufacturers really only test with MSwin, which has
put a lot of effort into ACPI support, and their APM is not much to write home
about, fidgety.  Others have done a best effort to render APM per the industry
standards and have just given a shot at ACPI.  Or so it seems.  At the core 
of it, as all the parts get faster timing gets to be a tricky thing, and I 
think there have always been few systems which could ever suspend safely 
without power-management support active on the OS.

So... you'll need to test which behaves better for you, amd since Linux' ACPI
support is steadily improving, you'll want to check back on it every once in
a while if you went the APM route.

In either case, they won't work with their userland support tools.  I prefer
to pick one and build my kernel with only that one in it, so there's no
questions about it.  But then, I tend to think that since every laptop is
a mostly-unique combo of parts and most of the parts aren't replaceable,
that most laptops should get a custom kernel when their owner has the time.

Toshiba Satellite Pro 470CDT

2001-12-21 Thread Glenn Becker

Hi,

I won a replacement HD on eBay that is -supposed- to be compatible with an
older laptop I have ... some months ago in a rare (for me) mixup of numerals
I said on this list that this laptop was a Toshiba 740CDT, and got some
helpful advice for how to access and replace the HD.

It's actually a Toshiba Satellite Pro 470CDT, and sitting down to look at it
(the drive arrived in the mail today) tonight, I realized I have no good idea
how to get at the drive, to set about removing it and replacing it with the
new one.

Before I start, er, unscrewing anything, I was wondering whether anyone knew
of a good resource for this sort of thing. I haven't found anything on the
Toshiba website yet.

Thanks,

Glenn Becker

Re: Toshiba Satellite Pro 470CDT

2001-12-21 Thread tony mollica

If the 470CDT is anything like my 460CDT, changing
the drive is very easy.  There is a small panel in
front that can be removed by first removing a small
screw accessed from the bottom the the unit.  Once the
screw is out, remove the plastic cover by sliding it
down exposing the drive.  The drive is in a holder 
with a lip that you can grip with your fingers, then 
just pull the drive and holder out.  Put the new drive 
in the holder and plug it back in.

TMTOWTDI, but TAMTOTTD [1]

Sounds like spamtricks and my procmail rules do a roughly equivalent bit
of scoring.

There are two aspect to dealing with spam.  One is filtering the
messages.  The other is reporting it.  

The advantage to the second step is you _may_ (just may) help make the
extent, and economics, of spam less attractive.  The problems are
several, among them a lot of IPSs (particularly Asian and South American
spam) which seem to Just Not Care.  Still, first shot of mine goes to
the various RBL and blacklist services, meaning ISPs which can't control
spam will find themselves dropped off the Net.  The "spamurl" script
notifies (usually) upstream ISPs.

My filters provide similar functionality to spamassasin.  The response
scripts fill in an additional role.



Notes:

1.  There's more than one way to do it, but there's also more than one
thing to do.

Re: Dell latitude C810

2001-12-21 Thread Markus Lechner

Ok, i have an Inspiron 8100 and had some problems, too.

After Kernel 2.4..2 the notebook hung when i tried to suspend it, tired to 
plug/unplug AC power when i left it untouched for some time (then the apmd 
daemon tried to suspend it. The same happened when i tried to change the 
screen size (not the resolution) with the key-combo Fn-Font (just to zoom the 
screen to the full LCD-Display size, no matter if i tried this in X or on the 
console). Then i searched the net and found the problem:

You have to compile the kernel without "Local APIC Support on uniprocesors" 
and without it's suboption (obviously). This seems to be a general problem as 
i understand and no Dell specific one.

Then APM/ACPI runs again.

BTW, I had my discussions with Dell-Service and they told me that they _DO_ 
support Linux - but only Redhat and only in the USA. If you are no standard 
customer but a company customer and bought your notebook inside the USA then 
you have the option to get it with RedHat Linux installed on your notebook - 
and they give support for that! That's why i bought it because it knew that i 
could get everything to run on my notebook :)

So much for that.

Try to compile your kernel WITHOUT APIC support and you will have no problems 
- ok not that many. But for APM/ACPI - that's not the problem.

I have some problems, too:

With kernel 2.4.2 i had no problem suspending - but after kernel 2.4.8 i 
can't suspend. Why? Good question - this is what i read when i try to suspend 
at the console (inside X nothing happened):

smc-ircc, Suspending
nv_kern_pm event: rqst 0x0 data 0x3
NVRM: avoiding suspend resuest, don't want to shutdown!!
ircc_net_open(), unable to allocate DMA=3
smc-ircc, Waking up
NETDEV WATCHDOG: irda0: transmit timed out
irda0: transmit timed out

I don't know how to solve this by now. There's nothing in the NVidia docs.

And i have another Problem that i'll put in another thread.

Hope this helps and hope someone can help :)

Probably; this sounds remarkably like some hardware (Neomagic?) that I

Yes. Specifically, X will do a software cursor if it needs to, but likes
to use the hardware support.

Most modern hardware supports cursor drawing, but occasional glitches
prevent it working correctly or reliably.

Check the notes for the X server to see if you can turn off hardware
cursors and that may help.

I was going to keep my peep shut, as discussing spam in any notable detail
often gets more painful than the original slice.  (I can cheerfully hit
d-lete on the first one.  The replies may have useful things.)

But after some recent client work in the category I heartily recommend the
set of scripts at spambouncer.org.   

The woman there maintains them;  you can check into the scoring levels by 
various subcategories - as seperate recipes, so they are much easier to 
read than most.  For instance I was able to go in and tweak the "anti porn" 
category to be more brutal in its scores.  As a result, there are far less 
burning ears over in cube-land, and the client is quite happy.  She already 
has programmed in having an options-file so you can toggle various preferences
(such as complaining upstream).  It adds headers to things so if you have a 
site where people have different opinions, they can apply their own 
Judgements via their MUA or personal procmail script, using the scores and 
comments.

and yes, she accepts "fresh spam" at a spamtrap address, providing that it
has actually failed to be spotted by her recipes.

Good luck in the war vs. unpleasant bulkmail.

thinkpad pad, woody and a linksys wpc11 lan card

2001-12-21 Thread nick lidakis
Just purchased a Linksys WPC11 wireless lan card to use with my
thinkpad. Currently running woody with kernel 2.4.16. I compiled the
kernel with the Prsim drivers as modules. hermes.o, orinoco.o and
orinoco_cs.o appear in /lib/modules.../wireless. pcmcia-cs is installed
and
working properly.

When I insert the card into the pcmcia slot I hear one high pitched beep
followed by a lower pitch. Cardinfo sts the card has been identified as
a D-Link DWL-650 11Mps Wireless Adapter. Searches on google and debian
planet reveal conflicting statements on how to configure this card and
with which driver.

/var/log/daemon.log reveals the following

Dec 21 01:48:30 thinkpad cardmgr[2024]: watching 2 sockets
Dec 21 01:48:30 thinkpad cardmgr[2024]: initializing socket 0
Dec 21 01:48:30 thinkpad cardmgr[2024]: socket 0: D-Link DWL-650 11 Mbps
Wireless Adapter
Dec 21 01:48:30 thinkpad cardmgr[2024]: executing: 'modprobe wvlan_cs'
Dec 21 01:48:30 thinkpad cardmgr[2024]: + modprobe: Can't locate module
wvlan_cs
Dec 21 01:48:30 thinkpad cardmgr[2024]: modprobe exited with status 255
Dec 21 01:48:30 thinkpad cardmgr[2024]: module
/lib/modules/2.4.16/pcmcia/wvlan_cs.o not available
Dec 21 01:48:32 thinkpad cardmgr[2024]: get dev info on socket 0 failed:
Resource temporarily unavailable

How do I get this card to load the appropriate module which I assume is
orinoco_cs?

I tried cardctl ident and the output was: Socket 0:
  product
info: "Instant Wireless " , " Network PC CARD" , "Version 01.02", ""
  manfid:
0x0156, 0x0002
  function:
6 (network)


The end of /etc/pcmcia/config sts:

#Include configuration files for add-on drivers
source ./*.conf
#Include local configuration settings
source ./config.opts

So witha text editor I created a file called linksys_wpc11.conf and
added the following:

card "Instant Wireless Network PC CARD Version 01.02"
manfid 0x0156, 0x0002
bind "orinoco_cs"

This seems to have no effect, I have been reading the docs and man
pages, but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Any help help or redirection to simple (i.e. newbie) documention would
be appreciated.




Mouse cursor...

2001-12-21 Thread Hugo van der Merwe
Odd thing I find on this laptop (a new one), is that the mouse cursor
has this habit of getting a 30 pixel or so offset to the right every now
and then. I.e. it paints 30 pixels further right than it actually is.
Hmm, that's probably 32, eh.

The busy icon for KDE launching apps still appears in the correct place,
i.e. it usually appears just to the bottom right of the cursor. With the
cursor offset by 32 pixels, it appears to the bottom left, as it's still
in the same place.

I've had this problem remain over a reboot once. That was ugly. Now,
just now, for the first time, the problem "fixed itself" without me
doing much, I was still in X, working with the mouse, and it jumped the
32 pixels back to where it should be.

Not sure if it really is 32 pixels, but thats about what it looks like.

Any ideas why this could be? Who paints the cursor, X, or is there some
... "hardware" involved?

Thanks,
Hugo van der Merwe

I've got a few systems for trapping spam.  A modified set of Lars
Wirzenius's procmail filters ("spamfilter" in Debian), an asian-language
trap, and a few scripts to help automate the response process.

I'll post the whole mess at some point, but it's a bit unweildy (ugly,
but it works ;-).

I'm attaching one script I've been polishing over the past few days.  It
scans a message (or attachments) for URLs, gets the IP, then runs a
WHOIS query, extracts email addresses, and converts them to
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" form.  abuse.net is a remailer run by John Levine, it
sends mail to known (or guessed) abuse reporting addresses for sites, as
well as sharing information with other services.  Spamcomp.net is a
similar service.  Substitute as appropriate.

My process in mutt is to pipe the message (or if it's encoded, an
attachment) through my script, paste the addresses into the "To:" line,
and send.  Results from ISPs are moderately impressive.  If nothing
else, ISPs will find they're getting massive complaints to spam.

The script isn't perfect.  It doesn't handle some obfuscated URL
(@-encoded, big-number URLs, though I'm working on it).  But it handles
most cases well.  I somewhat prefer the semi-auto nature of it as I have
some control over the actual execution and triggering.

The '-v' flag increases verbosity.

Peace.

Looks like you're using kernel PCMCIA, but this card is defined to use a
different module with David Hinds PCMCIA package.  You're using that for
the /etc/pcmcia/config, however, so the card is being identified as a
Wavelan compatible.

I think the general approach you have been taking is right, but after
you have changed that config file you have to (A) stop and start pcmcia
support (the config is read at startup) and (B) make sure the existing
entry that points it at wvlan_cs is gone.

Cheers,
Andrew.

Now I have tried this suggestion (dpkg --install), and IT WORKED. But, as you 
said, this gives dependency problems: some files were wrong (or not?) 
configured. Is there a way to cinfigure them afterwards? Or a way to know the 
order in wich to install them? (I got KDE installed, but it didnt work all 
good...). Thanks again for the tip! (I ll have to try to use Packages.gz 
-which, i showed in the manual, really is the RIGHT command, thanks again, a 
bit later on. Now im having a vacation elsewhere..).

Not so much a conflict, as a replacement of.  (or you can think of it
as "conflicts" the same way our package system does, only one works at
a time.)

APM is (to catch anybody up who needs it) power management.  It has a very
limited amount of states.  Basically, it can yank a few chains, but suspend
is all or nothing, and you can go to RAM, or to disk.

ACPI is a newer standard.   In it the subsystems can be given more control
commands.

In the Linux kernel if you have ACPI compiled in, and an ACPI capable chipset
then that's it, you get ACPI, and APM will not be used.

Which means, that your problem is not *directly* related to them conflicting.
What is much more likely is..

On modern systems APM and ACPI are both supported, but it's a crap shoot which
behaves better.  Some manufacturers really only test with MSwin, which has
put a lot of effort into ACPI support, and their APM is not much to write home
about, fidgety.  Others have done a best effort to render APM per the industry
standards and have just given a shot at ACPI.  Or so it seems.  At the core 
of it, as all the parts get faster timing gets to be a tricky thing, and I 
think there have always been few systems which could ever suspend safely 
without power-management support active on the OS.

So... you'll need to test which behaves better for you, amd since Linux' ACPI
support is steadily improving, you'll want to check back on it every once in
a while if you went the APM route.

In either case, they won't work with their userland support tools.  I prefer
to pick one and build my kernel with only that one in it, so there's no
questions about it.  But then, I tend to think that since every laptop is
a mostly-unique combo of parts and most of the parts aren't replaceable,
that most laptops should get a custom kernel when their owner has the time.

Toshiba Satellite Pro 470CDT

2001-12-21 Thread Glenn Becker
Hi,

I won a replacement HD on eBay that is -supposed- to be compatible with an
older laptop I have ... some months ago in a rare (for me) mixup of numerals
I said on this list that this laptop was a Toshiba 740CDT, and got some
helpful advice for how to access and replace the HD.

It's actually a Toshiba Satellite Pro 470CDT, and sitting down to look at it
(the drive arrived in the mail today) tonight, I realized I have no good idea
how to get at the drive, to set about removing it and replacing it with the
new one.

Before I start, er, unscrewing anything, I was wondering whether anyone knew
of a good resource for this sort of thing. I haven't found anything on the
Toshiba website yet.

Thanks,

Glenn Becker 



Re: Toshiba Satellite Pro 470CDT

2001-12-21 Thread tony mollica
If the 470CDT is anything like my 460CDT, changing
the drive is very easy.  There is a small panel in
front that can be removed by first removing a small
screw accessed from the bottom the the unit.  Once the
screw is out, remove the plastic cover by sliding it
down exposing the drive.  The drive is in a holder 
with a lip that you can grip with your fingers, then 
just pull the drive and holder out.  Put the new drive 
in the holder and plug it back in.

TMTOWTDI, but TAMTOTTD [1]

Sounds like spamtricks and my procmail rules do a roughly equivalent bit
of scoring.

There are two aspect to dealing with spam.  One is filtering the
messages.  The other is reporting it.  

The advantage to the second step is you _may_ (just may) help make the
extent, and economics, of spam less attractive.  The problems are
several, among them a lot of IPSs (particularly Asian and South American
spam) which seem to Just Not Care.  Still, first shot of mine goes to
the various RBL and blacklist services, meaning ISPs which can't control
spam will find themselves dropped off the Net.  The "spamurl" script
notifies (usually) upstream ISPs.

My filters provide similar functionality to spamassasin.  The response
scripts fill in an additional role.



Notes:

1.  There's more than one way to do it, but there's also more than one
thing to do.

Re: Dell latitude C810

2001-12-21 Thread Markus Lechner
Ok, i have an Inspiron 8100 and had some problems, too.

After Kernel 2.4..2 the notebook hung when i tried to suspend it, tired to 
plug/unplug AC power when i left it untouched for some time (then the apmd 
daemon tried to suspend it. The same happened when i tried to change the 
screen size (not the resolution) with the key-combo Fn-Font (just to zoom the 
screen to the full LCD-Display size, no matter if i tried this in X or on the 
console). Then i searched the net and found the problem:

You have to compile the kernel without "Local APIC Support on uniprocesors" 
and without it's suboption (obviously). This seems to be a general problem as 
i understand and no Dell specific one.

Then APM/ACPI runs again.

BTW, I had my discussions with Dell-Service and they told me that they _DO_ 
support Linux - but only Redhat and only in the USA. If you are no standard 
customer but a company customer and bought your notebook inside the USA then 
you have the option to get it with RedHat Linux installed on your notebook - 
and they give support for that! That's why i bought it because it knew that i 
could get everything to run on my notebook :)

So much for that.

Try to compile your kernel WITHOUT APIC support and you will have no problems 
- ok not that many. But for APM/ACPI - that's not the problem.

I have some problems, too:

With kernel 2.4.2 i had no problem suspending - but after kernel 2.4.8 i 
can't suspend. Why? Good question - this is what i read when i try to suspend 
at the console (inside X nothing happened):

smc-ircc, Suspending
nv_kern_pm event: rqst 0x0 data 0x3
NVRM: avoiding suspend resuest, don't want to shutdown!!
ircc_net_open(), unable to allocate DMA=3
smc-ircc, Waking up
NETDEV WATCHDOG: irda0: transmit timed out
irda0: transmit timed out

I don't know how to solve this by now. There's nothing in the NVidia docs.

And i have another Problem that i'll put in another thread.

Hope this helps and hope someone can help :)

Probably; this sounds remarkably like some hardware (Neomagic?) that I
had forever ago that had some bugs in either the software or hardware...

Yes. Specifically, X will do a software cursor if it needs to, but likes
to use the hardware support.

Most modern hardware supports cursor drawing, but occasional glitches
prevent it working correctly or reliably.

Check the notes for the X server to see if you can turn off hardware
cursors and that may help.

You can configure a threshold above which spamassassin will report spam
as well.  I'm not sure of the details, though.

Nice, I will have a look at your setup sometime. :-)

I was going to keep my peep shut, as discussing spam in any notable detail
often gets more painful than the original slice.  (I can cheerfully hit
d-lete on the first one.  The replies may have useful things.)

But after some recent client work in the category I heartily recommend the
set of scripts at spambouncer.org.   

The woman there maintains them;  you can check into the scoring levels by 
various subcategories - as seperate recipes, so they are much easier to 
read than most.  For instance I was able to go in and tweak the "anti porn" 
category to be more brutal in its scores.  As a result, there are far less 
burning ears over in cube-land, and the client is quite happy.  She already 
has programmed in having an options-file so you can toggle various preferences
(such as complaining upstream).  It adds headers to things so if you have a 
site where people have different opinions, they can apply their own 
Judgements via their MUA or personal procmail script, using the scores and 
comments.

and yes, she accepts "fresh spam" at a spamtrap address, providing that it
has actually failed to be spotted by her recipes.

Good luck in the war vs. unpleasant bulkmail.
