"su -" followed by "rm -rf /" does tend to affect people. heh I'm banned from various locations around the web for suggesting it as a solution to a problem. Usually just issues where someone needs to chmod +x bofh++ Meh, only the old BOFH The new stuff he does less technical stuff guy i know used to work for simon years ago That'd be a frightening situation ok, I get 100GB Bandwidth a month, is there any way to know how much I've already used? email support asking for mrtg "cd /usr/ports/net/vnstat && make install clean" too ifconfig -a if you haven't rebooted recently :) pc600: depending on your os, 'ifconfig -a' may or may not show network stats Anyone have experience with squirrelmail? heh, sendmail, squirrelmail... you like doing things the hard way, huh? =) I have it working, the only issue I have is that I want it to use my domain name in the From field instead of the cust.arpnetworks.com one. postfix and horde/imp rules Why hasn't someone come up with a program that allows you to just tell the computer "Do what I want!"? Does anyone know what distro up_the_irons uses for the VPS hosting? some linux, dunno what pc600: The $20 special applies to all OS / distros, fyi jlgaddis: didn't get to do the maintenance, fell asleep in one of my hibernation modes; ready to rock after 12 hours of sleep Arenlor: +1 on postfix. although I do use qmail for my own stuff, very secure, reliable and fast. however, an absolute bitch to install, which is why most people do postfix Arenlor: VM hosting is done with Ubuntu Jaunty up_the_irons: np, wrt email jlgaddis: ok tnx, noted cd $run can you guys host DNS for a VPS? Or do I need to setup bind/ use something free like granitecanyon? I have bind working for me, it's rather easy to setup Oh hey, if anyone cares, I did manage to get sendmail+dovecot+squirrelmail+thunderbird all configured and working. Yeah, disregard, I just got it set up Wasn't that bad (took 15 minutes with google) Was a pain thoguh, had to fine some free secondary dns server because my restrar made me put two dns servers in pc600: dig arenhost.net pc600: whoops meant "dig arenhost.net ns" haha regsitered your dn server twice nice Hey, it works same ip :) Same five ips never tried it there's only two dns servers on it http://www.twisted4life.com/index.php <--- I used that free secondary dns I mean I figure that if my site goes down, it won't matter if both dns servers are on it. anyways it works, now I justh ave to wait forever for root dns to update what domain? cainkar.com I also need to find out how to move pc.chicago.il.us <-- freebie back from 1996.l cainkar.com. 86400 IN A 208.79.95.146 (back when the .us space was free and .com costs money, I took the free one) :) I don't know if I can get it moved anymore, it's been sitting there since probably 199x Do you own il.us? nope, but back in the 1990s it was normal for you to contact a region manager and get a free dns out of the state.us space. err, free domain. Probably a bygone era and I don't use it anymore, but it stayed there all these years so I figure I can probably still fidn otu who to contact it and claim Then the only way to move it would be to use FTP to get the files from it. I mean, it is possible to have it redirect to you, but it's a hell. Arenlor - http://www.nic.us/faqs/index.html#how_modify_locality yup, it's am ess I ahve to "claim" it and fax over soem crap. Back when I did it, it was an e-mail form you just sent to internic if I recall Lovely I don't care, I'm just goign to drop it. I don't and haven't used it since .coms became cheap Well I'm hallucinating, have a good night everyone! goodnight :0 Ok whats' a good webmail package? Something gmail-like. jesus christ i cant find a can of air and it's too late to turn on the compressor gonna shut off this damn computer it's too loud jeev - Might have more issues if a can-o-air is going to fix that :) na it's dust stuck jeev - I always use an old scuba tank that was given to me. Cheap enoguh to refill, and hell cheaper than canned air. No noise either :) But that was in a computer shop when pcs were being cleaned every day. haha too much compression freaks me out good night, shutting this off bye my computer is so damn heavy 2 hours later, apache, e-mail, dns all set up :). Going to bed.
