iptables -P INPUT DROP



I use DROP. I guess it is not a good idea to send ICMP packets back
by default (But I don't know if it can be done).



Anyway, here is the result of my test:



fugue:~# iptables -P INPUT REJECT


iptables: Bad policy name


fugue:~# iptables -P INPUT DROP


fugue:~# uname -a


Linux fugue 2.6.22-1-686

Hi.

Go to the game's website http://www.doom3.com/ -> Updates and look
through the sites provided there. If they don't give direct links
(usually they have some form of queue and authorization) you can try
putting the file name in a search engine. Strange it's not readily
available at id Software's site, though... Maybe look somewhere in
ftp://ftp.idsoftware.com/idstuff/doom3/ - but the server seems to be
down now.

I have a program that uses libusb and it only works from root.  When I
try
to run as a normal user I get errors like this:

avrdude: usb_open(): cannot read serial number "error sending control
message: Operation not permitted"
avrdude: usb_open(): cannot read product name "error sending control
message: Operation not permitted"
avrdude: usbdev_open(): error setting configuration 1: could not set
config 1: Operation not permitted

I didn't see a usb group in /etc/group or anything like that.  Can
anyone
tell me the preferred way to let users run programs that use libusb?

Thanks,

/usr/share/doc/libusb-0.1-4/README.Debian has some mount options that
might be helpful in your situation.

That's not a bug. HAL resp. gnome-vfs shows all partitions available.
/etc/fstab is not the canonical source for the partition information.

I just learned how good my ISP's spam-filtering is. *All* of the 
member-lengthening spams are in my online spam folder--my Inbox was 
protected.

Now I understand what Nigel Henry was talking about. If that stuff was 
hitting my Inbox, I would've unsubscribed by now.

Take a look at the perl Text::ParseWords module 'man
text::parsewords').  It may do what you want, depending on your needs
with respect to quoting and escaping.

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; delsp=yes; format=flowed

I'm at a road block...

I was reinstalling my hard drives to put in a RAID1 array.
The RAID/LVM stuff works 100%.

But somewhere I screwed up my postgresql-8.2 database installation.
I meant to set up the data directory on the RAID disk array
Unfortunately I deleted the /var/lib/postgresql/ directory and can't  
or don't know what to do to fix it.

No big deal, nothing invested, so I did a uninstall/purge on  
postgresql-8.2.
I reinstalled the database using aptitude (postgresql-8.2, postgres- 
client-8.2, libpq5) thinking that this would fix everything.

Nothing is happening.
No logs created to indicate if it works or not.
No directory created to show where the data directory is.
Nothing.

I'm just staring blankly at this.
I did a uninstall + purge and no errors reported.
I do a reinstall and NOTHING.

I've never experienced anything this blank before.

help?

Your previous e-mail was seen by me.

No, I don't remember ever being able to specify a REJECT policy for the 
INPUT chain.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the result of spam filter poisoning. 
The spammers are putting so much legitimate text into their spams that 
bayesian spam filters are degrading and flagging good messages--which is 
intended to force people to turn the filters off.

I'm too lazy to do this, but I wonder if someone could count how many of 
today's spams contain one line of advertising text and more than five 
lines of normal text conversation captured from the web.

Do you have any of postgres processes running (ps aux|grep postgres)?  
You may want to kill those off after uninstall the postgres packages.

Did you purge & install postgresql-common?
