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?

Mirrors
by Joe Abley 29 Jun '99

29 Jun '99

Hi all, I'm doing a bit of a review on some of the sites we're mirroring on ftp.clear.net.nz, in an attempt to keep the disk utilisation a little more under control. We're currently pulling down a bunch of things; the main disk-consumers are: ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD (4M without packages or 2.x) ftp.openbsd.org:/pub/OpenBSD (1M, 2.5 only) ftp.kernel.org:/pub/linux (5M without "software" tree) ftp.redhat.com:/pub/redhat (5M without srpms, 5.2 + 6.0 only) ftp.debian.org:/debian (6M without potato) Now, it seems to me that there's little point in mirroring content if there are other people in NZ already doing it -- for example, if there was a good debian mirror somewhere else, I'd be happy to replace the CLEAR Net debian mirror with a text file which says "see ftp.xxxx.yy.nz for this mirror" if it meant I could pull something else down that wasn't already in the country (like NetBSD, which was there but which I removed to make space for everything else). So, here's the question: does anybody know of other locations in NZ where the archives above are already mirrored?

0867 dial plans - Telecom and the Internet
by Roger De Salis 29 Jun '99

Subject: [ISOCNZ-COUNCIL] Telecom Update Date: Wed, 30 Jun 1999 12:23:19 +1200 From: "Sue Leader" <netwoman(a)one2one.co.nz> Reply-To: Exe.Dir(a)isocnz.org.nz To: isocnz-l(a)isocnz.org.nz CC: isocnz-members(a)isocnz.org.nz Greetings all You may remember that ISOCNZ was waiting until we met with Telecom representatives and got some core questions answered before taking a position on the Internet Access Pricing Changes/0867 number introduction. After a series of delays Telecom managed to get the right group of people together at the same time and place, and the ISOCNZ delegation met with those representatives on last Friday (June 25). The meeting was productive, with answers being provided to almost all our questions. In addition, ISOCNZ was able to negotiate some favorable outcomes for our stakeholders. So why the delay in letting you know? Telecom undertook to supplement our notes of the meeting with written responses by close of day yesterday (Tuesday 29). As soon as these arrive we will make them available on the web-site. In the meantime we have decided to publish the written questions which ISOCNZ provided to Telecom on June 13 - fifteen days before the meeting. These questions were compiled from questions supplied by our stakeholders, primarily via the isocnz-l list. As the timeframe dragged out, the Council took the opportunity to refine the questions into subject groupings which would allow the topics to be more easily covered during the space of the meeting. Telecom had these questions several days in advance, as well as the original list of 33 questions. Both sets of questions are linked from: http://www.isocnz.org.nz/issues.html On a happier note - the Media Releases page has been updated recently and includes information on the appointment of two NZers to International Internet Governance Bodies - Peter Dengate Thrush and Andy Linton. The media didn't really pick up on this story and I felt we needed to celebrate their achievements - to read all about it - please reload the Media Releases page at: http://www.isocnz.org.nz/pressrels.html Cheers Sue Sue Leader - Executive Director ISOCNZ (Internet Society of New Zealand Inc) Exe.Dir(a)isocnz.org.nz Voice: +64-4-801-6256 http://www.isocnz.org.nz Postal: Level 1, (e)-Vision Centre, 282 Wakefield St, Wellington "ERROR 406: file corrupt: config.earth -- reboot universe?

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 Past data is at: www.isi.edu/div7/people/bmanning.home/in-addr-audit.html The run is scheduled to start 01 July 1999 @ 00:01 UTC. 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. -- bill manning 310.822.1511 ----- End forwarded message ----- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

NZ operators address book
by Joe Abley 23 Jun '99

23 Jun '99

I have thrown something up to get the ball rolling. It's pretty cheap and nasty, be warned :) http://www.patho.gen.nz/nznog/contact.html You will need a username and password to get in, since the idea is that this address book has personal contact details rather than generic helpdesky ones where possible. Mail me with a username and password, and I'll set you up. Additionally, you might like to send me contact details (name, e-mail, phone, fax where available/appropriate) for the following categories: o Usenet o Abuse (annoying) o Abuse (panic) o Routing anomolies o BGP filter updates o Network peering o Cache peering o Cables cut o Building access o Policy There's also a "Notes" category for other misc info (the CLEAR entry has "Route policy in RADB" there).

Y2K stuff.
by Roger De Salis 22 Jun '99

22 Jun '99

I've received an approach from a Malaysian ISP, wishing to contact their NZ equivalents, as the clocks turnover to '00. I would guess there there will be others, who are interested in how NZ is faring, and potentially use the 6, or 8, or 17 hours of leeway they have productively in the event of some unforeseen problem. I would rather not have the entire worlds ISP support staff phone their counterparts in NZ to enquire "How it going?". Given the fact many of them will simply want to silently observe that there is no problem, what is the best way to go about this? Let them subscribe to the nog? Form a special NOG for the brown-out period 11/99-1/00? Suggest that no-one in NZ really cares about the rest of the world, and they can all....... Appoint Peter Mott as a Y2K spokesman? and direct all enquiries to him? Any one any other suggestions? Many Thanks.

The Y2K Commisiion wish to do just this on their web site, we are working with them on ways to minimise the probability of down time (basically geograpic dispersal and minimum dependence on proprietary code).

BGP filtering
by Joe Abley 09 Jun '99

09 Jun '99

Hi all, CLEAR publishes its routing policy in the RADB. Just out of interest, do any of our peers pull our policy from there in order to build filter lists? If so, how often do you do it? I ask because it seems that some of our advertisements are not being accepted by some peers; naturally the games players have been the first ones to notice and point this out :) If anybody would like a pre-built, up-to-date filter list for cisco routers (for advertisements from AS4768 routers only), please drop me a line.
