AR 9.3+ vs. savable fill-in PDFs on CentOS
by MHR 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

I've tried reporting this to Adobe, but they are remarkably deaf to such an enormous market of free software users. At least as of AR 9.3, including the latest 9.3.1, I have been unable to view or work with the savable fill-in PDFs that I've pulled off the web in the last couple of months. I have no trouble at all with them in my Windows virtual machine, but the Linux version starts up, displays the window/frame outline, then crashes and dies silently. Since Adobe doesn't provide any useful channel of communications for support to users of its free products, even though they are essentially ubiquitous and somewhat essential (for things like this), apparently their recent breakthrough in the area of supporting Linux systems does not include actually supporting Linux systems users. So, since I have made that enormous leap of logic, I wonder, is anyone else experiencing this problem? Yes, I know all about evince - use it most of the time, but it does not handle the fill-in PDFs or the ones where you can save the filled-in values. Any other options? Thanks. mhr

No "you have new mail" message on login
by Ian Masters 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hello I have a few servers running CentOS release 5.4 (Final) and none of them are displaying a "you have new mail" message on login. I've asked Professor Google but he is strangely silent. Have I neglected an important setting? I thought this was a default on most linux ditributions. Any help much appreciated. Ian

Can't create partition even though free space is available

apcupsd, APC UPSs, and batteries, resolved
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Well, here's the tale: we got a "replacement kit" for some APC SmartUPS 3000 - rackmount UPSs. The "kit", costing about half of what APC is asking, is just the batteries, and you pull the tray out, open it up, and swap out the batteries. Except, I did this on one... and the replace battery light never went out. Not using apcupsd's apctest, not pushing the button. The five lights on the right that show power level went down to about one or two, and took an hour or two to come back up. apctest just said replace battery was the status. I put another set in. I swapped it with another UPS, and its lights went on, so it wasn't just that one. Also, these are just batteries, not chipped like an Epson inkjet print cartridge. I did the same on another a few weeks ago, and the same. Finally - I believe these had been replaced before - I went back online, and found the exact same ones. Got them in yesterday, replaced one that I'd replaced before, waited a couple hours, and pushed the test button. It thought about it, did the test, the power level only went down *one*... and the replace battery light went out. apcupsd also reports everything's wonderful. The ones that didn't do it were PowerSonic 1250 F2's. The ones that worked were BBHR5.8012. I *think* the difference is the HR. So, now I'll be going back to the original vendor, and asking for a replacement set - he doesn't seem to have BB, but if he can give me some other HR, I'll try that. The HR is "high rate", which I assume means high rate of dis/charge. I'll let y'all know what happens, but at this time, my opinion is that if you see a replacement kit for RBC43's, make *SURE* that they're HR. mark

iptables rules
by m.roth＠5-cent.us 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

I've got a server with several ip's on eth0. I want to block all traffic *except* to port 80 on them, but not on any other IPs, so that eth0 is www.xxx.yyy.zzz eth0:1 is www.xxx.yyy.ggg eth0:2 is www.xxx.yyy.hhh I've tried -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -d www.xxx.yyy.ggg --dport ! 80 -j DROP -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p tcp -d www.xxx.yyy.hhh --dport ! 80 -j DROP and restarted (and several variants of this). iptables-save displays *filter :INPUT ACCEPT [0:0] :FORWARD ACCEPT [0:0] :OUTPUT ACCEPT [769:48207] :RH-Firewall-1-INPUT - [0:0] -A INPUT -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A FORWARD -j RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -d www.xxx.yyy.ggg -p tcp -m tcp ! --dport 80 -j DROP -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -d www.xxx.yyy.hhh -p tcp -m tcp ! --dport 80 -j DROP -A RH-Firewall-1-INPUT -p icmp -m icmp --icmp-type any -j ACCEPT <...> and I notice it puts the ! in front of the --dport, but has no complaints. However, I can telnet to www.xxx.yyy.hhh 443. What's wrong with the rules? mark
