15 RULES for Dogs

 

1. Dogs are never permitted in the house. The dog stays outside in a

specially built wooden compartment named, for very good reason, the dog

house.

 

2. Okay, the dog can enter the house, but only for short visits or if his

own house is under renovation.

 

3. Okay, the dog can stay in the house on a permanent basis, provided his

dog house can be sold in a yard sale to a rookie dog owner.

 

4. Inside the house, the dog is not allowed to run free and is confined

to a comfortable but secure metal cage.

 

5. Okay, the cage becomes part of a two-for-one deal along with the dog

house in the yard sale, and the dog can go wherever the hell he pleases.

 

6. The dog is never allowed on the furniture.

 

7. Okay, the dog can get on the old furniture but not the new furniture.

 

8. Okay, the dog can get up on the new furniture until it looks like the

old furniture and then we'll sell the whole damn works and buy new

furniture...upon which the dog will most definitely not be allowed.

 

9. The dog never sleeps on the bed. Period.

 

10. Okay, the dog can sleep at the foot of the bed.

 

11. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you, but he's not allowed under the

covers.

 

12. Okay, the dog can sleep under the covers but not with his head on the

pillow.

 

13. Okay, the dog can sleep alongside you under the covers with his head

on the pillow, but if he snores he's got to leave the room.

 

14. Okay, the dog can sleep and snore and have nightmares in bed, but

he's not to come in and sleep on the couch in the TV room, where I am now

sleeping. That's just not fair.

 

15. The dog never gets listed on the census questionnaire as "primary

resident," even if it's true.

Jacques Chirac, the French Prime Minister, was sitting in his office wondering what kind of mischief he could perpetrate against the United States when his telephone rang.

 

"Hallo, Mr. Chirac!" a heavily accented voice said. "This is Paddy down at the Harp Pub in County Sligo, Ireland. I am ringing to inform ya that we are officially declaring war on ya!"

 

"Well, Paddy," Chirac replied, "this is indeed important news! How big is your army?"

 

"Right now," said Paddy, after a moment's calculation, "there is meself, me cousin Sean, me next door neighbor Seamus, and the entire dart team from the pub. That makes eight!"

 

Chirac paused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have one hundred thousand men in my army waiting to move on my command."

 

"Begorra!" said Paddy. "I'll have to ring ya back!"

 

Sure enough, the next day, Paddy called again. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on. We have managed to get us some infantry equipment!"

 

"And what equipment would that be, Paddy?" Chirac asked.

 

"Well, we have two combines, a bulldozer, and Murphy's farm tractor." Chirac sighed, amused. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 6,000 tanks and 5,000 armored personnel carriers. Also, I've increased my army to one hundred fifty thousand since we last spoke."

 

"Saints preserve us!" said Paddy. "I'll have to get back to ya."

 

Sure enough, Paddy rang again the next day. "Mr. Chirac, the war is still on! We have managed to get ourselves airborne! We've modified Jackie McLaughlin's ultra-light with a coople of shotguns in the cockpit, and four boys from the Shamrock Pub have joined us as well!"

 

Chirac was silent for a minute and then cleared his throat. "I must tell you, Paddy, that I have 100 bombers and 200 fighter planes. My military complex is surrounded by laser-guided, surface-to-air missile sites. And since we last spoke, I've increased my army to two hundred thousand!"

 

"Begorra!" said Paddy. "Again I'll have to ring ya back."

 

Sure enough, Paddy called again the next day. "Top o' the mornin', Mr.Chirac! I am sorry to tell ya that we have had to call off the war."

 

"I'm sorry to hear that," said Chirac. "Why the sudden change of heart?"

 

"Well," said Paddy, "we've all had a long chat over a bunch of pints, and decided there's no way we can feed two hundred thousand prisoners."

Here is another firewall example for you to review and offer me suggestions on how I can make it better. Feel free to use it in your own machines if you like the way it looks.

 

To use this firewall, copy it to a file on your machine, remove this text down to the line that starts #!/bin/sh leaving. Chmod the file to 700 or some such so that it can only be run as root. Edit the file and change the IP address variables at the top of the file to match your system. Then, run the script you have created. The firewall should load without errors. If there are errors, you will need to determine their cause and clear them up before you go forward.

 

After the script has run, do a "/etc/init.d/iptables restart" in order to save the firewall to your systems iptables cache. You will not need to re-run this script until/unless you make changes to it.

 

Now, this firewall, as configured, has one external interface. The external interface has three static ip addresses assigned to it. On my system, the three addresses are each assigned to a separate apache virtual server for serving up three different domains.

 

The firewall box, in my configuration, runs a web server, a mail server and a ssh server. You will notice ports open for this in the firewall. You will also notice that it only allows connections, with the exception of the web server, to the "primary external" ip address. Connections to the other external addresses are blocked.

 

Most incoming traffic is subject to rate restrictions on incoming new connections. There are exceptions to this because some services are better run with the limitations, but the ability to rate limit incoming connections has proven beneficial over and over in keeping out the bad traffic.

 

I continue to experiment with this firewall so you may see a few entries commented out. As I try different things, this is how I temporarily turn off things that I am currently not using.

 

If you have questions about how something works, please post them. I learn every time I dig into iptables and I will be happy to try to help.

Well I though I would write a little tutorial on GnuPG encryption.

 

Quote:GnuPG is a complete and free replacement for PGP. Because it does not use the patented IDEA  algorithm, it can be used without any restrictions. GnuPG is a RFC2440 (OpenPGP) compliant application.

Hi All

An utter noob to Linux I now have a mini itx pc to build. I am going to be installing it in my car and it will have a 8" touch screen. I need it to do the following:

 

1 play Mp3's

2 play the odd dvd/divx

3 work as a sat nav system (http://www.directions.ltd.uk/)

 

Now because of speed and shock resistance I have the following storage devices:

 

IDE- to compact flash converter + 512mb CF

20gb 2.5 hdd

DVDr / CDr/rw drive

 

I want to install Linux to the CF and make it read only as this apparently stops the CF from breaking down over time with use. the other thing i would like to do is get it so that the MP3 file that is being played (+ the next one ideally) are played form ram and not the hard disk, while the HDD isnt in use I'd like it to self park so that when i hit those big potholes the hdd doesn't get damaged by the shock.

 

Interface wise I've used KDE and Gnome so I'm happy with either of them. I have a suse 9.3 DVD here but will go with what ever people feel is best! I will have to install samba as I need to copy multimedia to the HDD from time to time.

 

Can any one help?

 

Thanks

 

Andy

I've tried to install Fedora Core3 but I'm having trouble with the partitioning and boot-loader. I want to install it on my hard drive with Windows XP on it, but I also want to reserve some storage on the other, bigger hard-drive. I also don't want windows to boot automatically, I want to choose which one to boot from a menu. Please help me into the linux community, I'm learning C++ and would like to be able to contribute oneday. :)
