Updated domain stats
by Blair Harrison 19 Dec '07

19 Dec '07

Hi folks, I've re-done my domain stats spreadsheet / graphs to include the last three months. http://jedi.school.nz/nzdg.html I know the html version is ugly, Openoffice just doesn't seem to deal with it very well. Interesting to note that the net increase in domains last month was 5752, taking to a total of 311,198. Biggest jump yet, and crossed the 300,000 mark since I last looked at it all a few months ago :) Cheers, Blair

AirNZ currently have on offer, for 48hrs, discount flights to and from Dunedin ex Napier, Wellington, and Christchurch for $99, $89, and $59 respectively, one way.

Heh - nope - I can't get a refund on the $300 I paid for "Getting in Early" either =) Those prices are almost less than I paid in petrol to get to the last one in Palmie. Dean -------- Original Message -------- any way to get the refund on the USD 400 plus i have already spent to get there from AKL? :) --bill On Tue, Dec 18, 2007 at 03:07:03PM +1300, Jonny Martin wrote: > For all of you who have the impression that Dunedin is an expensive > place to fly to... > > AirNZ currently have on offer, for 48hrs, discount flights to and > from Dunedin ex Napier, Wellington, and Christchurch for $99, $89, > and $59 respectively, one way.

NZNOG 2008 - Fellowship Program
by Jonny Martin 17 Dec '07

17 Dec '07

Hi All, The NZNOG Organising committee is trying something a little different this year and offering a small number of Fellowships to the conference. The aim of this is to provide assistance to those people that mightn't otherwise be able to come - but have a lot to offer to, or gain from, the NZNOG community. The fellowships will cover up to four nights accommodation at the NZNOG hostel and the conference registration fee. Five fellowship packages are being made available. Criteria for applicants: - They write a few paragraphs explaining why they need a fellowship to NZNOG08 and what they hope to get out of it, and otherwise convince us that they're not after a freebie for the sake of it being free. - Their employer can't or won't cover them and they're having to cover costs personally or they're a student / unemployed. - They have a history of involvement in the NZNOG community, or can demonstrate an intent to do so, or how attending an NZNOG community will benefit them. - It will help greatly if they are presenting a talk (or intend to) and wouldn't be able to without some form of fellowship assistance - They actually have to attend the NZNOG sessions, and not run off sightseeing or touring the local breweries! Submissions will be evaluated by the NZNOG 2008 organising committee. Email your submissions to prog08(a)nznog.org Closing date for applications 23:59hrs Wednesday 19th December (that's soon!) Successful applicants notified on Friday 21st December. For those of you who like something a little more than plaintext, all these details are at: http://conference.nznog.org/fellowships.html Cheers, Jonny.

Re: [nznog] Xtra Mail Admin Contact Off List re White List - Reporting back
by Don Gould 16 Dec '07

16 Dec '07

This is a quick round up of my earlier post for those who are interested in these issues. It is provided for information, not to troll for a flame :) I got hold of Ted. Following a half dozen pointless emails, he confirmed today that the shared server I'm using is in the Yahoo! block list. Yahoo! run a 'voting' system that counts messages users put in to their spam folder from different locations and blocks those sites. HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM Ted expressed that I needed to ensure that our shared service is filtering for spam, before auto forwarding, then apply to have the server block removed. http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/postmaster/defer.html MY CONSIDERED ISSUES Frankly I suspect that this may be pointless. I know that the shared server is used to host a number of applications that can be hacked (eg poorly written Joomla components) and used to leverage the sending of spam. I suspect that if I get it removed from the Yahoo! block list this week then I'll have to start over again next week as I do not have control over the rest of the server. I'd like to thank the person who suggested I contact Ted. I got the clear impression (and I mean 'impression') that he's as frustrated with the whole email thing as the rest of us. He referred me to many pages on the Yahoo! web site that were incomplete and did little to explain clearly how to fix these sort of problems. Frankly by the end of the week I felt very stone walled. FINAL OUTCOME / RECOMMENDATIONS You may recall the purpose of the 'auto forwarding' was to save the 27 users from having to reconfigure their client software. I have now told them that they do not have this option. They have to set up their mail client to read from the server and/or pay someone else to do it or use our web mail interface. So much for trying to same someone some hassle. We are also having ongoing problems with email messages taking time to exit Xtra's/Yahoo!'s mail system and getting delivered. I've expressed that they should change providers to a smaller firm who have a more reliable system that is not quite so subject to the load issues that a mail provider such as Yahoo! has. I'm sure it will come as no surprise that despite explaining this to the users, only 2 of the 30 users have change provider. I should have thought that 2 months free service, your own account manager and email delivered in seconds, would have been enough to entice the users to change - I was wrong. Cheers and thanks to everyone for their help, especially Ted!

RT users in NZ
by Nathan Ward 13 Dec '07

13 Dec '07

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 Hi all, I'm trying to convince a customer of mine that RT (Request Tracker, the ticketing system) is the way to go for ticketing for their organisation. The question has come up (as it always does for open source applications) of what the installed base in NZ is. Obviously this is hard to gauge, as there's no licensing etc. as there is for commercial solutions. So, are you using RT, or are you aware of people using RT, in anger in NZ today? (Private reply is fine) (Yep, I realise it's not hugely on topic, but an ISP list seems like it's have lots of RT users on it) - -- Nathan Ward -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP Desktop 9.7.0 (Build 867) Charset: US-ASCII wsBVAwUBR2DSmqhXB4ariYS3AQgTPwf/QjGiQJWytZRDiN2dbVkjRn6Is9V0WMNE IpOXwnfu+1FxoFjyUIpzQKsWeALZBWbhoNBJEJgR7VNyBrmUjAdDvgW7svGFDkaI TaYm3cy4rufgxInjZpbh2Hn3nGWNzyXWtSoXA7DGaT2Xk0K3H4tqyhS6H0a+HL+T L3dfgPErxZmeoXd5vnO4rsRN61n8g0wKW24AgZYD09C8vfSM3tcSxpdRdY6KJ0dK m5vwHFXNcX3wo40r33/dYW4jwzN2ZOzOYS2qvfJuJ4Cs8tB+DePMUb//V1LyOSyV PkOKyXo5Cf9w7sVX7hd5aI8xKDoe7aqW5+vgfqkC45PkyzS2s8L5Hw== =IPrU -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

(Private reply is fine) I'm aware of three NZ ISPs (or ISP-like) organisations using RT for their ticketing system, at least one with moderately extensive customisations. As well as at least two other NZ organisations using RT for their internal task management.[0] My impression is that it's one of the most widely deployed open source task tracking systems outside development projects.[1] <subliminal>I'd be keen for someone to talk about ticketing systems and ticket triage/management at the Sysadmin Miniconf</subliminal> Ewen [0] I support some of these RT installs, but by no means all of them.

NZRR Route Registry Update
by NZRR Database Notifications 12 Dec '07

12 Dec '07

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database. These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers (http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at all times and consequently a full set of routes.

by Jonny Martin 04 Dec '07

04 Dec '07

For those of you who haven't already found out, APNIC are running training in Wellington and Auckland next week: Wellington, 11 December: http://www.apnic.net/training/registration/ 2007/register-20071211.html Auckland, 13 December: http://www.apnic.net/training/registration/ 2007/register-20071213.html Training will be the Extended Internet Resource Management Essentials (IRME), followed by a hostmaster consultation session the following morning in each location. The IRME course won't be covered at NZNOG08, so this is your chance to attend the training. This is a good course for anyone who works at an organisation that currently holds, or is looking at obtaining APNIC allocations. To those of you who think you know it all already, well I don't believe you! :). Cheers, Jonny.

APNIC IPv6 transit exchange
by Terry Manderson 28 Nov '07

28 Nov '07

Dear NZnog Colleagues, APNIC is facilitating IPv6 adoption in the Asia Pacific region with an IPv6 Transit Exchange. This will allow APNIC to support IPv6 and at the same time expand IPv6 awareness, use, and understanding of IPv6 in the Asia Pacific region. The IPv6 Transit Exchange is a Reasearch and Development effort and will continue to run for as long the participants require the service, however a horizon may be set when commercial providers offer native IPv6 services in a commercial relationship. APNIC will additionally advertise prefixes and negotiate peers for both 2byte and 4byte Autonomous System numbers (AS) to ipv6 neighbors of this service. The preference for the IPv6 exchange is that is an MLPA style service. That is, we will re-advertise all routes presented to us. And the more routes you are willing to advertise the better! As such, any organisations willing to offer full transit will be greatly appreciated. Any organisation with an IPv6 prefix is welcome, and encouraged to join. Please see the following link for more information: [http://icons.apnic.net/index.php? option=com_content&task=view&id=3432&Itemid=94] Cheers, Terry -- Terry Manderson email: terry(a)apnic.net Network Operations Manager, APNIC sip: info(a)voip.apnic.net http://www.apnic.net phone: +61 7 3858 3100

Dear Colleague, This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing registry database.

Xtra Mail Admin Contact Off List re White List
by Don Gould 27 Nov '07

27 Nov '07

If any one knows how I get babyonthemove.co.nz white listed with Xtra's email system could they please contact me. At present the 25 franchises who have broadband accounts with Xtra are finding that email forwarded to their @xtra.co.nz account is going missing. We have set up their addresses so that the email is forwarded automatically to their relivant xtra account. If others have tried this sort of thing and discovered that you just can't do it this way then I'd like to know. eg. east.chch(a)babyonthemove.co.nz --> whatever(a)xtra.co.nz west.chch(a)babyonthemove.co.nz --> whoever(a)xtra.co.nz We did this because we didn't want to have to explain to each franchise holder how to set up Outlook or Thunderbird to retrieve mail from the the babyonthemove.co.nz mail server. WHY THIS LIST/NOT THIS LIST PLEASE! I've already rung level 1 support. The first person I spoke to told me "you're not with us", after she's asked me for my phone number, despite my explaining who I was and why I was calling. To her credit she did not cut me off, she put me through to a broadband helpdesk person who did not know what a 'white list' was. He also didn't cut me off, and put me though to a person who did at least know what a white list is. He referred me to http://xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-7793692,00.html which referred me to http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/yahoomail/postmaster/bulk.html which I filled out. It then sent me a 1200 word email about spam. That was the point I felt I'd read enough, talked to enough people who were clearly not in control of the situation and wanted to speak to a person who has actually been through this process and can tell me if I'm chasing my tail or actually in the right direction. Or, do I have to simply bite the bullet and make everyone set up mail readers?
