NFS problems with files.

2008-12-08 Thread Brian Schrock
I am testing a courier-postfix setup using nfs for the Maildir folders on debian etch, and my client machine is debian/lenny.

A good simple solution is pam mysql. You just stick the users in mysql tables and configure pam and a few other files. In my experience ldap is not quite as simple as libpam-mysql. Brian, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PR

Re: iptables script - where to put it?

2008-10-10 Thread Brian Schrock
There seems to be many ways to do this, but in our network we create a firewall script (similar to how you have done and we do a whole bunch more than just set iptables rules in it) and we stick it in /etc/init.d/if-up.d/. Then I add to the /etc/network/interfaces file to the public interface 'up /

Re: Where debian save iptables rules?

2008-06-12 Thread Brian Schrock
The way I do it... Create a file /etc/network/if-up.d/firewall.sh , make sure it is executable. In that file put all the iptables rules you want and since it is bash scripting you can get pretty fancy. Then in /etc/network/interfaces add the following line to one of the interface definitions, 'up
