its IP must reverse resolve to that hostname Theres nothing "official" about that restriction, ... That's absolutely correct. But plase look here http://www.linuxmagic.com/best_practices/check_dynamic_reverse_dns.html and see that it is good practice at least. And in fact, it significantl...

This can only be solved by Exito by delivering the mails though an officially approved mail server. By who's definition would it be officially approved? The Internet police? ;)[/quote] Yes the NSA ;-) As explained above the (to i.e. to GMX) delivering server must have a DNS-registered hostname and ...

Since about 1/2 year I do not receive any mail notifications on postings/threads I habe subscribed to and about PD's. Meanwhile I was able to dig for the root cause togetrher with ["johannes"] and found: my mail provider (GMX) refuses to accept the mail from the forum's mail-server. The re...

Sorry to interrupt your thoughts. Ever thought of 'dirvish', a package which is in the Debian repositories ans does all we/you want. It uses hardlinks and rsync to do differential backups and can be easily configured to ones needs. Can be operated via GUI and commands/cron jobs. Besides local backu...

Luckily I have read this thread before applying the upgrade. One important question arises now since you switched to 'rsync' : how is 'rsync' used: a) is it run by scripts similar to 'copy' or b) is it running as a daemon? Latter could interfere with my current setup, because I have already 'rsync' ...

I wonder if there are any plans to upgrade from Squeeze to Wheezy? It's now quite a while since my B3 received any security updates. Now, as Debian 7.1 is released there should not be any major problems bringing the B3 up-to-date for the next 3 years. Squeeze will only be maintained for some 10 more...

I have set up the nfs-kernel-server on my B3. Created a separate "sever-partition" sda4 which I mount to /srv/sda4 in fstab. Then I created the nfs4 mount-tree under /srv/nfs4 like this: /etc/fstab # Partititon /dev/sda4 (HD with GPT) for servers /dev/sda4 /srv/sda4 ext4 defaults,noatime 0...

Thanks Gordon! I did play already a bit with reconfiguring, but it really is a weary and potentially dangerous thing. The situation would be much easier, if I were able to statically configure one interface (preferrable LAN) with an "auto" statement in interfaces as an "always availab...

Thanks Gordon, your explanation makes things a lot easier. When I understand how things are working it is much easier to decide what can be done and what isn't worth the effort. that already explains a lot. Didn't know that wlan0 is just bridged with eth1 (LAN port) if activated. I just confimed in ...

I'd like to setup network in a different way as described in the manual and as can be done via the web-interface. I have got 3 network interfaces on my B3: WAN (eth0), LAN (eth1) and Wifi. My questions are: How is topology by design, i.e. which traffic is separated by the firewall (iptables)? Is the...

All I can say is that B4 won't be avalble in the next 6 months at least. My personal guess: somtime in late spring - a while after Wheezy "is done". My additional whish: allow to include http://security.debian.org/ in sources.list, so it receives regular security updates shortly. Happy Ne...

Doesn't fill any logs anymore, the problem is easily solved by the instructions found here: http://forum.excito.net/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=4310 The odd thing is, it prevents the HD from spinning down completely - even if easyfind is disabled in the web-interface the continous writes to the log per...

At this occasion please also: assign the user admin an UID > 1000 . I know that admin is just a normal user, but for those who want to use NFS with the B3, it is essential to match UID's on the B3 with those on the (Linux)-PC's. And the majority of Linux-distributions assign UID=1000 to the first us...

My guess is that this is a dirty hack as this service checks every minute whether "easyfind" is enabled. On finding it is disabled in the gui, it writes this into syslog - one line every minute! The clean way would be to set the runlevel links when service is enabled in the gui and at the ...
