Functional Tests - only Nagios?
by Luca Cappiello 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hi Swinog, I'm curious if anybody knows a good framework/application, which is used for functional tests in enterprise environments. Are any solutions out there, able to perform a operational check of all services (databases, remote access, running processes...) after updates, patches or changes of security baselines? Nagios would be probably the best choice, but maybe there other concepts I'm not aware of. Thanks Luca

Debian vs. Ubuntu
by Schlageter Benjamin 01 Feb '10

01 Feb '10

Hi Swinog, I wonder if someone has any experiences with Ubuntu as server distribution? Till this day, we use only Debian - but to the end of Debian 4.0 we must upgrade every server to get still security patches. Now I consider to change to Ubuntu with the 5 year LTS versions. Cheers, Benjamin

As part of the work of the IETF v6ops WG, Brian Carpenter is soliciting input from ISPs on IPv6 deployment: http://www.cs.auckland.ac.nz/~brian/ISP-v6-QQ.html If you have a couple of minutes, please consider filling out this ASCII questionnaire and mailing it to Brian. It would be great if you could do this by next Friday (5 February), so that he can integrate your input before the next IETF meeting. Note that the questionnaire addresses both ISPs who already offer IPv6 services and those who don't. Thanks & best regards, -- Simon.

Swinog DNSRBL Whitelist
by Mike Kellenberger 26 Jan '10

26 Jan '10

Is the Swinog DNSRBL Whitelist at http://antispam.imp.ch/swinog-dnsrbl-whitelist still being maintained actively? I use this list for our greylisting bypass filter and just had a case with a swisscom server that was not listed (which I would expect). The server in question was 194.11.148.23 (outmail43.swisscom.com). Or does anyone have a list of swisscom outmail servers?

A fake online shop ?
by Gregoire Huet 22 Jan '10

22 Jan '10

Hello Swinog, Has anybody ever ordered something by the Techmania shop ? I'm just wondering if it is a *real* shop, despite its quite good notation on Toppreise. Maybe has it turned to some thieves association, not answering emails and not delivering the goods. I'm looking for a contact there, i would be glad if you give me one. Thank you Greg

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 defective, replace immediately
by Andre Oppermann 13 Jan '10

13 Jan '10

If you have Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 disks from 2008 or 2009 you should be very concerned. These disks have a faulty firmware and also the disk surface is problematic. Sector errors are developed very quickly and the firmware will fall on its face. The symptoms is a 7200.11 disk that either isn't detected by the BIOS anymore (BSY busy error) or reports itself as 0GB in size (0 LBA zero error). Sometimes the disk shows up again and can be accessed for a few moments and a couple of megabytes and goes away again with media error or BSY busy. The failure rates of 7200.11 are reported to be as high 40-50%. And even if it ran for weeks or months doesn't mean it wont have the problem. Quite to the contrary. It most likely develop the one of the errors soon. Claudio lost a number of disks in his raid array and I just lost the one from my desktop computer. Anyway, here are my recommendations: 1) Check whether you have any Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 with 500/750/1000/1500GB in your servers or desktops 2) If you have any, then backup the data *right now* to some safe disk or media 3) Replace the 7200.11 as soon as you can with some other brand and model, even if the Seagate tool/website says you disk is not affected If you already have lost a 7200.11 and still have the disk or if it happens from now there is a way to recover your data. Do *not* do the firmware update that is recommended by Seagate. The recovery process is complicated and involves accessing the disk controller through a debug port and get the firmware into debug mode. All the nasty details in [1] and [2]. You have to cautious with the procedure though. There are some commands shown in the thread that should *not* be executed or further data loss may happen. Read up to page 35 of the forum and only then start your own attempts. "avico" is the guy to look for his posts. I've done the recovery on two disks successfully, including one that had many fatal sector errors. So if you've got a bricked 7200.11 I've got a working setup and may be able to help you quickly to recover your data.

Init7 AS13030 is leaving Equinix Zurich Exchange aka TIX
by Fredy Kuenzler 05 Jan '10

05 Jan '10

Dear all, Init7 AS13030 is leaving Equinix Zurich Exchange aka TIX by Thursday, Jan 7, 2010. Please deconfigure any BGP sessions with the following IP addresses: 194.42.48.10 194.42.48.16 2001:7f8:c:8235:194:42:48:10 2001:7f8:c:8235:194:42:48:16 We continue to peer on various other exchanges such as SwissIX, DE-CIX etc. and are also open for private interconnects. Please see our details at http://as13030.peeringdb.com/ and contact peering at init7 dot net if you think we should peer elsewhere. Many thanks for peering over all these years - I believe Init7 AS13030 got connected 1999 or 2000 to TIX Telehouse Internet Exchange. This was the time when a Cisco 2900 switch took all the load of the "big peering switch fabric" and the v4 routing table was as small as 60000 routes.
