Squid
by Bnonn 13 Jun '05

13 Jun '05

Hi everyone I'm looking for opinions on Squid. If anyone runs it, or has run it, can they offer their views on it, and comment on any possible pitfalls? I'm wanting to install it on Hoary to act as a caching web proxy on a firewall box. I notice that Squid doesn't appear to be in the Universe or Multiverse repos for Hoary (unless I'm using aptitude completely wrong). I have no problems compiling from source; I'm lazy and like to install from binary where possible. Does anyone know of third party repos with Squid in them? Any decent third party repos would be handy actually. Failing that, does anyone know why Squid is not included in the Hoary repos? It seems fairly popular and I would have expected to see it there. Regards Bnonn

Folks, For those that are looking to install FC4 this documentation may be useful. It is reasonably simple but it is good that the community is starting to provide this level of documentation.

Thanks for the help, got home and tried a few ideas these are my "start up" lines in grub root (hd0,0) kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386 root= /dev/hd1 ro quiet splash initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.10-5-386 savedefault boot (I may have added/left out a space after transposing this via hardcopy) I have tried changing hd0 to hd1 in the first line, this starts the boot process, but hangs on another error (that i forgot to write down) looks like I will see you guys on Monday..... -----Original Message----- From: Matt Brown [mailto:matt(a)mattb.net.nz] Sent: Wed 2005-06-08 10:35 To: Waikato Linux Users Group Cc: Subject: Re: [wlug] boot problems On Wed, 2005-06-08 at 10:31 +1200, zcat wrote: > OK, on digging a little further, /dev/hda1 is type 0x7 which is NTFS. > That's almost certainly not your root partition, so I'll change my advice. > > Boot a live CD and find out where your root partition really is.

Note that if you're using grub (which Ubuntu does by default) you don't need to mount rw to fix problems. simply push 'e' on the line that is about to be booted and you'll be able to edit it. This will allow you to try booting with different root partitions /dev/hda2, /dev/hda3 etc until you find the correct one. Once you done that and booted up ubuntu successfully then you can modify the grub config on the hard disk. Yet another reason why grub is much better than lilo :) Regards -- Matt Brown matt(a)mattb.net.nz Mob +64 275 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz _______________________________________________ wlug mailing list | wlug(a)list.waikato.ac.nz Unsubscribe: http://list.waikato.ac.nz/mailman/listinfo/wlug

LAN mail server
by Michael Honeyfield 07 Jun '05

07 Jun '05

I am looking for suggestions and maybe even links, on info on setting up a LAN mail server. It needs to collect ISP email and send email to an ISP. So, collect @orcon.net.nz email, store it in imap or what ever and send it back to orcon. No IP address or domain name, just ISP email. I am a complete email server nub, so any help would be great. Mike
