NZNOG-People, I have just finished migrating all of the mailing lists held at The University of Waikato from one server to another. I don't have any reason to believe that anything's gone wrong, but please bear with me for today if it turns out that something has. - Donald Neal -- Donald Neal | Q: How many Aucklanders does it take to change Systems Programmer/Analyst | a light bulb?

Banned Newsgroups list?
by Simon Lyall 27 Dec '98

27 Dec '98

Just wondering if anyone has the list of newsgroups that Internal Affairs distributed a while back which ISPs are not advised to carry? I think this was done on an unofficial basis and no-one around here seems to have the actual list. I don't carry a large number of the suspect groups but I want to be sure none have been accidentally added. Any pointers welcome. Also wearing one of my other Hats are any sites interested in exchanging newsfeeds for nz.* newsgroups (plus local posts) with usenet.net.nz? . Currently I'm exchanging feeds with a few large ISPs but more is always better. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Network Admin | Ftpmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz The Internet Group, Auck. | Asst Doorman | Web: Currently Offline --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

missing router
by Richard Naylor 22 Dec '98

22 Dec '98

Hi folks We have had a Cisco 3600 router removed from our premises in an un-authorised manner - it was nicked. If you get offered a real cheap one with the following config please let me know asap. + no system memory (someone else borrowed it !) + 1x 10/100 ethernet port + 18 Voice ports in a mixed config Unfortunately it was not rack mounted, so was easily removed no crow-bar was required. We also lost a diskless 386 - a DECpc320 configured as a Netramet box, and a Compaq 386 running linux as a secondary DNS server. We are very happy to receive any othe the gear back - no questions asked, rather than see it all go into the harbour.

Advance notice for 1q99 walk
by bmanning＠ISI.EDU 21 Dec '98

21 Dec '98

Hi, I appologize for duplicates. Its almost time for the next quarterly walk of the inverse tree of the DNS. For the last few quarters, I've been walking the in-addr tree looking for numbers of delegations, accurate delegations, and types and styles of error conditions. So... this is a heads up that you will be seeing zone transfers being generated by a couple of the collecter machines here. For those of you who utilize BINDs access controls, I'd appreciate your inclusion of the collector machines in allowed transfers. The expectation is that they will be the following IP addresses: 128.9.160.57 and 198.32.4.13 If there are any questions or concerns, I'd be happy to talk about them. Past data has been presented at IEPG, Apricot and RIPE meetings. The expectation is that future data will be presented in the same and similar forums. The expected start date is 01jan99 and it is expected to run through February 1999. The 4q98 and preliminary data for the 1q99 audits will be presented at Apricot99 in Singapore. www.apricot.net for details about this venue. The data will be available via http as well. www.isi.edu/div7/people/bmanning.home/in-addr-audit.html --bill --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Which is fine, until it gets reported in the press in a more concise form, as "support from NZNOG" rathrer than the more precise but less snappy "support from many members of NZNOG" or so forth. Not that there is much that can be done about the vagaries of reporters. The problem is surely that NZNOG is a mailing list, no more. We exist to get things done, not to make pronouncements :-) --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

I for one hope a document more or less like this is to be widely distributed. In general it's desirable to avoid claiming NZNOG supports things, since NZNOG isn't an organisation with a process for declaring the organisation's opinion on something. However, if the meeting minutes already posted to this list are accurate, many active NZNOG participants do support the aproach outlined. In that case replacing the existing text with a reference to "many members of NZNOG" or "acting in consultation through the New Zealand Network Operators' Group" would make me happier, but wouldn't make a difference to the average recipient. - Donald Neal --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Revision to Acceptable Use Policy?
by Donald Neal 09 Dec '98

09 Dec '98

People, The following is a revised version of the posting I send to this list each month, including an acceptable use policy revised as proposed by Joe Abley with some wording changes by me. Are there any objections to the policy in the form in which it appears below? - Donald Neal - - - - - The New Zealand Network Operators' Group The New Zealand Network Operators' Group (NZNOG) has neither a king, a president nor a formal membership. At present it consists of the subscribers to this mailing list, which anyone is free to join. (At last count the list had 62 subscribers.) The NZNOG mailing list is provided through a server at The University of Waikato, and is administered by an employee of Telecom NZ Ltd. Neither of these organisations (nor the administrator) is responsible for its content. NZNOG Mailing List Acceptable Use Policy The NZNOG mailing list exists to provide a forum for the exchange of technical information and the discussion of implementation issues that require cooperation among New Zealand network service providers. In order to continue to provide a useful forum for discussion of relevant technical issues, users of the list are asked to respect the following guidelines. 1. Discussion will focus on Internet operational and technical issues. 2. Discussion related to meetings of network service providers is appropriate. 3. Discussion unrelated to these topics is not appropriate. 4. Postings to multiple mailing lists are discouraged. 5. Postings that include foul language, character assassination, and lack of respect for other participants are unacceptable. 6. Blatant product or service marketing is unacceptable. 7. Postings of a political, philosophical or legal nature are discouraged. 8. Postings to the list should be in ASCII or MIME encoded as text/plain. Attachments should not be sent to the list. To present a document,. a suitable URL may be referred to. For documents of general interest, the use of proprietary file formats is discouraged. 9. Breaches of list etiquette should be dealt with privately with the offending list user, and should not result in complaints being sent to the list. Mailing List Archives A full archive is available at http://list.waikato.ac.nz/archives/nznog/ To search the archive, see http://list.waikato.ac.nz/archives/search.html (and remember to select nznog). Subscribing to the List To subscribe to the NZNOG list, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz, where the body of the message reads subscribe nznog There are at present no restrictions on who may subscribe to the list, or even on who may post to the list. Digest Mailing List If you don't wish to receive postings as they are sent, you can instead subscribe to the nznog-digest mailiing list, on which all postings are sent out in a single "digest" every couple of days. Other Activities NZNOG does not at present have other regular activities than this mailing list, though some Auckland subscribers have been known to arrange meetings over beer.
