bind listening on 1 ip address

bind listening on 1 ip address

[Raul A. Gallegos]

Hi gang.  Does anyone know off hand how to tell bind to listen on only 1
ip address?  I can't find it in the bind book anywhere and it's probably
something real easy.  I have a machine with eth0 as an external internet
address while eth1 has an internal lan address.  I want bind to only
listen on the external one.  When I start it up normally it's listening
on both.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi:

Well, you could use the hosts.allow and hosts.deny files to control access
to your DNS.  but I'm curious why you'd want outside people to be able to
use your DNS server but not the internal LAN.  Not that there's not a good
reason for this, it's just that I can't think of one.

Geoff.

Actually.  The problem I was having was the the primary dns was not
successfully transfering zones to the secondary salve server and by
looking at the logs it said the transfer was tiing out.  I was thinking
it was trying to use the external IP instead of the internal one and
wanted to make sure it was not being blocked somehow.  I only wanted to
do that for troubleshooting.  It turns out I didn't open port 53 on the
firewall.  So after calling myself an idiot for overlooking that and
seeing everything work as expected I just took a break.  Sometimes you
get to a point where little easy things become hard when you've been
working on 4 projects all at once.

Thanks for the suggestion though.  Take care.

Speakup With Kernel Compile

[Richard Wells]

Is it possible to update Speakup without compiling the kernel? I have a
stable kernel but I want to get the latest features into it hopefully
without compiling it.

Thanks

No. That is the short answer. The longer answer is that because speakup is
a part of the kernel and the only way to add code to a kernel is to patch
the source and recompile you must recompile. That being said, there is no
reason to fear this. First, having a stable kernel is no huge feat. IT is
really quite simple. Second, if you compiled your current kernal then you
merely need to patch it, run make oldconfig (which then asks only new
questions) and compile away. You can skip the part of making the modules
since you haven't any need for more of them.

Re: Speakup With Kernel Compile

[Geoff Shang]

Hi:

You do have to recompile the kernel in order to update speakup, as speakup
is part of the kernel and it's not possible to only compile bits of the
kernel.  However, unless it's clearly stated, you don't have to update your
kernel version to take advantage of speakup updates.

** IMPORTANT **: As of Monday, speakup CVS was broken for the 2.2.x
kernels.  this may have been fixed, but I don't know that it has so you
have been warned.  Kirk would like to see this fixed, but he's away all
this week so it almost certainly won't happen till he gets back, if it's
not happened already.

Geoff.

No.  You will have to recompile.  If you have a stable kernel and it's
configured then hopefully you saved your .config file in /usr/src/linux
.  When I find a good configuration I copy the file to config-raul or
something like that.  Then I run checkout from
/usr/src/linux/driver/char/speakup.  Update speakup, then run make
mrproper which will clober your .config file.  This is why you want to
have a backup of it.  ONce make mrproper is done copy your backed up
config file to .config and run make oldconfig.  Then make dep; make
bzImage.

HTH.

How do you get Linux to connect to your isp via modem?
I have configured the network using pppsetup.
I asume that you have to connect to the isp, and then bring up pine...
Am I off base?
I have an internal modem, but I was told that it would work under Linux.

7) Turn A PlayStation2 Into A Linux PC?

Hi Fred, I don't know if you've heard, but Sony plans to release the PS2
Linux kit
it's been testing in Japan here in the US. It should be fun to see what
people do
with this. There's already one website (in Japanese) I found that's
apparently running
off of a PS2. That site is here
http://yoshi.sytes.net/
The kit's said to cost something like $200 dollars and among other things
will include
a 40gig HD, USB keyboard, and USB mouse. I can see myself jammin' to some
MP3's on
the home stereo, checking mail, watching TV, and surfing the web all while
kicked
back in the La-Z-Boy already! ) ---Greg Mathews

It's interesting indeed, Greg. This sort of thing has been tried before,
but game
consoles never had quite enough oomph to function well as PCs. Now, that's
changed.

The Sony plans are hazy: The official "PS2Linux" home page (
http://www.ps2linux.com/ )
says:

The Linux Kit is designed exclusively for the Japanese model of "PS2",
SCPH-10000,SCPH-15000
and SCPH-18000. Since these models are for domestic use in Japan, the Linux
Kit is
only available in Japan. At this point, there is no plan to release the
Linux Kit
for non-Japanese model of "PS2".  Overseas delivery is not available.

But there's lots more info here:

Re: Play Station 2 and Linux

[charles crawford]

Dave,

	This idea of play station 2 being a Linux box is fascinating.
Would anyone care to speculate on what it would take to make a software
synthesizer for speech like Microsoft SAPI?  It seems to me that if we
could get speakup for example into the system at the get go, then we would
get over one big barrier to accceptance within the blind user community.

No speculation is needed here. It would take a butt load of work that is
already in progress to finnish up. For that to happen quickly many more
hours of volunteer work need to be done. If it was to happen really
quickly, those hours would need to come from another person.

There is work beign done on a software synth in linux. Also, speakup would
need a major change that may happen some year down the road (unless that
magical volunteer surfaces and chooses to do that work).

You are assuming correctly. I'd recommend reading the ppp howto if you haven't done so already. And your question is not a dumb one. You'll find a few of the same questions in the list archives.

Does everyone in the world know the answer to this one but me?

What is a "WIKI"?

Or rather, what does the acronym stand for? I know all about FAQ, and
RTFM,  and all the rest of the WTF list, but WIKI seems to be the NKOTB
(New Kid On The Block).

It does mean quick in Hawaiian. Therefore, a quick way to post web

In Waikiki there is a Wiki Wiki bus that takes you from hotel to hotel
around Waikiki

It's pronounced wee kee.

Well,  It is Hawaiian but I don't think it means quicky.  It is a user
or visitor editable web page.  So if you visit a page and have a
nopinion other than the folks that pu the wiki up you can edit that
page and modify what they have done.  They are extremely useful
community resources.  For an apsolutely great example which may change

Okay, thanks. I know what it is, but I still don't know what the acronym
stands for. Maybe it's not an acronym at all. I'll check out that web
site.

Anyway I thought a quickie in Hawaiian was a lay.

Hi:
No, not everyone in the world knows the answer.  I had no idea of what a WIKI was.  Now I do though!

Wiki, the Hawaiian word for quick.  In this instance it is used for quick
reference.  It may also be some kind of acronym as these are usually web texts
which are editable and anyone may contribute.

It is not an acronym. It is a Hawaiian word that you will hear quite
frequently in the islands.

Hmmm, really? I was on Maui (spelling) for a week 5 years ago, and I
didn't hear that one, until I saw it on the web 3 years later, and
then herd the professor I mentioned refer to it last year and to what
it means.

Hmmm, I guess I've found Maui more laid back than Oahu! <grin>

Besides, I don't think they run an open bus as a shuttle among the
hotels on Maui. At least, they weren't doing that where I was the other
month.
