    I just threw a quick dir structure in there so as I add files it won't get too ugly.

    The only thing is I'm still downloading myself, so when the file size gets to 670138368 bytes, I'm done.

    I will then test and make an md5. I wonder if I can be an official slack mirror... hmmm :)

    Yeah, I guess it kinda makes sense in that _if_ I was under their domain...but in my case I was/am using my own domain so any mail that did not get delivered just waited for my server to come back to life. It never rolled over to a secondary MX record because I never set one up.

  18. Help me figure this one out.. on Contacting Network Admins Of Large Internet Companies? · · Score: 1
    I go to school here at Rochester Institute of Technology. I came back at the beginning of the year and was pleased to find out that port 25 was unblocked. So, when I registered my domain I threw a mail server up. A few weeks ago I just stop getting mail. I can send fine, just not receive. Resnet's reason is the following.
    Port 25 is blocked to prevent the proliferation of email servers. When someone sets up a mail server, and then moves, the mail going to the original server location defaults to the main campus servers. This presents numerous problems for us. Thus, it was decided in ages past to block port 25 for the entire campus.
    Now I just don't get this. If you send mail to a user@ipaddress and the machine is down, why would it attempt to hit a totally different server (related only in domain name, and even that isn't always true). Does it try and hit the secondary mail server even though it didn't do any lookups for the first? Someone please help my brain out.

    Out of all the multi-cd linux installs I've ever seen/used, this is the ONLY one that ever called for the second disk. It was funky.

  22. VPN =! proxy or NAT on @Home Stops Allowing VPNs · · Score: 1

    Ok, I may be ignorant on this, but I'm pretty sure I know what I'm talking about.

    The TOS says that you can't use @home for business crap or tunneling out, that has nothing to do with how many computers you run thru them (proxied or not)

    It looks like they don't want people who work from home to 'dial' into their corprate network and create buttloads of traffic with a tunnel.

    How many people use sygate/wingate/ipmasq to run many computers over a cable modem? Tons. Is that tunneling? No. Its either a form of a proxy or NAT or however the program decides to implement the exchange of the packets.

    I dunno how togther I sound, I just woke up.

    http://www.blackfire.com.au/ide2scsi.html

    I've been wondering how good this is. Its a IDE -> SCSI converter.

    This is the only one of these I've seen and the specs arent mind boggling, but think of it... for (guestimate) 600 bux for a 80gig drive and 99 for the converter you can have an 80gig ultra scsi drive.

    If only it could support faster SCSI and IDE speeds... 20MB/s and 16MB/s max is not bad, but could be better :)

    Great Idea tho, too bad I lack the skill to make one myself.
