Banking Problems and MTU
by Craig Whitmore 28 Jul '02

28 Jul '02

I was wondering what people think about this latest story.. http://www.idg.net.nz/webhome.nsf/UNID/4AA2988B4A1835C5CC256BFF0014A6A8!ope… (a more technical expanation from Cisco of the problem http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/105/56.html) I've noticed this problem for ages (for example the ASB's site) when viewing their pages via a GRE tunnel (or the inability to). Is blocking _all_ ICMP types the wrong thing to do? (in paticular type 3 (unreacable), subtype 4(needs fragmentation) for PMTU Discovery) and basiclly breaking their website for people who have paths who get fragmented TCP/IP Packets) Thanks Craig Whitmore

Are you lame? :)
by Rob Thomas 26 Jul '02

Hello, NZNOGers. [ Apologies to those of you who have already seen this post on NANOG. ] I recently came across a web site belonging to Justin McNutt that lists all of the lame delegations his name servers have detected. This is a great way to share some clue and keep track of errant domains. I have received his kind permission to mimic his efforts using data collected from three of my name servers. I will update this page weekly, and you will find it here: http://www.cymru.com/DNS/lame.html Justin's page is available here: https://dnps-linux2.telecom.missouri.edu/~mcnuttj/lame.html The DNS root name server statistics are still available, and have moved here: http://www.cymru.com/DNS/dns.html My thanks to the authors of the lamers.sh script, which I modified to suit my purposes. Comments and feedback are always welcome!

I'vspent several hours today tryingt o find info on how to get past an old Compaq deskpro's setup password so I can alter the system setup for a friend - any one know if it can be done? I've tried disconnecting the CMOS jumper but despite it losing the config the sytem password stuff still comes up and I figure its a ssociated with the compaq's diagnostics partition some how .... Can't find anyhting on the internet and I'm so frustrated I'm going home! - something fo rthe night owls to ponder?

ICMP message types
by Rob Thomas 24 Jul '02

24 Jul '02

Hi, all. I am opposed to blocking all ICMP, for many good reasons. I do limit the ICMP types and codes I allow, however, and have put together a list that might help others as well: http://www.cymru.com/Documents/icmp-messages.html Feedback is welcome and encouraged. Be the first in your ASN to make it to the Credits section. :) I hope this helps! Simon, thanks for the suggestion to post this link to the list.

NZNOG 2002 and Beyond
by Donald Neal 23 Jul '02

23 Jul '02

Counting heads during NZNOG papers last week showed a steady attendance of somewhere between 45 and 50. (Tony McGregor's paper first thing on Friday morning had an audience of only 36 when it began, but 48 by the time it finished. I suspect that to reflect time of day rather than content or presentation.) That level of attendance, and feedback to various organisers, suggests to me that holding a face to face gathering was a worthwhile exercise. My thanks to all those who contributed, and particularly to Dean Pemberton. Now, if that one was worthwhile, how about doing it again? We have already two offers for future NZNOG gatherings. 1/ UniForum NZ Roger De Salis has volunteered to act as convenor for next year's UniForum NZ conference. In general terms, his intention is to stage a conference similar in structure to this year's, though with Linux content much more focussed toward a business audience, and in general a stronger programme. NZNOG would be welcome to participate on more or less the same basis as this year, though presumably making up a smaller proportion of a larger conference. This would probably be at around the same time of year and probably in Auckland. 2/ The University of Waikato The University of Waikato have offered to host a NZNOG gathering, to be held at their main campus in Hamilton. This would be a stand-alone event, with the university providing administrative staff time for registrations and the like. No decision has been made as to when this would be. If held outside university terms, e.g. in February, accommodation on campus would be available at a cost of approximately $35 per night. There would be a cost for the venue, but this would be well below the rate a hotel would charge. The Hamilton option is likely to have a significantly lower cost. It is possible that a university setting would discourage sponsors, who provided a good number of overseas speakers this year. On the other hand, the likely venue photographs well and we haven't asked them yet. I'd be interested in feedback, quite possibly including issues not considered in this posting. If anyone else has an alternative venue/organisation suggestion, or believes we can support more than one organised gathering a year, let's hear it. - Donald Neal ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "This communication, including any attachments, is confidential.

Ive misplaced my Targus carryback (designed to carry a notebook computer) during the Uniforum conference.

Election night results site peering
by Ewen McNeill 15 Jul '02

15 Jul '02

A client of mine (Catalyst IT) will be hosting the website with the "on the night" election results. The website is a set of static pages (which are updated regularly in a push from the central computer collating the results as they come in; Catalyst IT are also operating this computer at another facility). The website will be hosted at one (or possibly two) addresses out of the Catalyst IT 203.96.153.224/27 CIDR address range (allocated out of a Paradise block). This address range is advertised into WIX (WIX router is 202.7.0.72). They have a 100Mbps connection into Citylink so local bandwidth should be adequate. However for both efficiency and redundancy they are keen to take as much advantage of the peering on WIX as possible. Can I have an indication from the ISPs as to: - how many are accepting /27 routes from WIX? (I've heard some are not accepting routes smaller than /24, or even larger) - for those that do not routinely accept a /27 advertisement on WIX, whether they'd be prepared to accept that /27 advertisement around the election night period (or put in a temporary static route) - how many are advertising their dialup, adsl, cable, etc blocks into WIX (so that the return path is also peered) Comments from anyone that peers at APE (and would accept a /27 route), but doesn't have any peering/connection to Citylink/WIX would also be appreciated. At present the cheapest price for transit to APE (from Wellington) is probably outside the budget remaining, but the issue is still being considered. (Of course if someone wants to offer cheap transit to APE.... :-) ) Messages here (nznog) or directly to me (ewen(a)naos.co.nz or ewen(a)catalyst.net.nz) would be appreciated.

I'm not sure which hotel he was staying in when having trouble (for complicated reasons conference attendees ended up in two different hotels) -- I was able to dial out of the Hotel Grand Chancellor, but only with a very long timeout (over 60 seconds) to allow the modem negotiation to work. Got about 28K8 connections IIRC. The Centra hotel appeared to have analogue POTS lines into the rooms, but I didn't try dialing out there. The wireless OTOH was very handy -- thanks to those who arranged it. (Even if the ADSL did occassionally have problems it all mostly worked, and was very handy.) The wireless definitely worked as far as the chairs outside the bar, as I saw someone using it there; inside the bar I don't know, but it was close enough it probably should have worked. >But, seeing that most hotels (outside NZ at least) offer a bedside >Ethernet port, something should've been arranged IMO. You must have a very different definition of "most" to the one I use. I've never actually seen this, even in hotels that advertise it. (Comment from reception at one hotel when I'd booked into a room advertising this "oh, we don't do that". No, I wasn't pleased.)

More thanks ...
by Tim John 14 Jul '02

14 Jul '02

I had a great few days and would also like to thank everyone involved in the organisation AND everyone who attended. It was good to put a face to some of the names that appear on the list. The speakers were excellent and if the same caliber can be attracted next and subsequent years, I think it could be a start of something successful. Unfortunately, I missed the evening entertainment so didn't have a chance to drink with folk or dent 2Day.com's bar tab ! However, Thursday Night Curry in Wellington could be on the cards for that ... Thanks again all.

Uniforum 2002 Conference
by Mark Foster 13 Jul '02

13 Jul '02

Just a quick note to say thanks to all those NZNOG'rs whos efforts helped make the Uniforum/NZNOG Conference a success. Nice to put faces to some of the names which crop up here from time to time. Off the top of my head and by no means officially, but thanks are owed to some NZNOG-Specific folks who helped us out: Citilink (802.11 gear, which was well used) Dean - for helping arrange the above. Nathan Mercer, Microsoft NZ - The use of a Data Projector. Steve Philips, ICONZ - The use of a Data Projector, and also the Packeteer (For the record, we did 1.1GB for the 4 day period, so that wasnt so bad on a JS1200 connection was it. :) The packeteer most certainly helped keep utilisation reasonable. Roger De Salis / Cisco, for getting Paul Vixie out. He certainly kept everyones attention and is a fairly easy speaker to listen to. Martin Kealey - for organising the whole thing. Probably also need to thank Peace Software for letting him do so much during work hours :) Lin Nah - for much needed motivation and assistance in the logistics side. + Any others who I havnt mentioned. See you all at the next one. :) Mark Foster - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Heads up to Xtra and people receiving mail from Xtra
by Simon Byrnand 10 Jul '02

Hi All, Just noticed this morning, that Xtra seem to be sending mail from some "new" mailserver ip addresses recently, which include: 210.86.15.144 210.86.15.145 210.86.15.147 (and probably others) Unfortunately that whole /24 seems to be blacklisted by several different spamlists as either a "dialup range" or as a source of spam. See http://relays.osirusoft.com/cgi-bin/rbcheck.cgi?addr=210.86.15.144 for one example. (Note: slow link) So if you use any ip address based spam blocking you may not be receiving mail from xtra anymore until you allow that range..... :) Regards, Simon Byrnand iGRIN Internet - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

CUG
by Philip D'Ath 06 Jul '02

06 Jul '02

I'm thinking about forming a Cisco Users Group (CUG) in Auckland, and modelling it after other CUGs such as http://www.cisco-users.org/. I know I will have the support of Cisco Systems, and Cisco's distributors. What I'm not sure about is how much interest there is out there for such an idea among the Cisco populous. I'm not aware of anything like this currently in NZ. Is anyone else aware of such a usergroup? I would like the CUG to be for engineering people, not sales people. Based on other CUGs, common things that the CUG would do are: * Technology presentations (e,g. Understanding IPSec, Queueing Options, etc) * Study groups, for people seeking Cisco Qualifications * Solutions that people have found to problems that take more than 30s to describe * Discussion groups (perhaps IP in NZ, peering, APE, etc). * Demos of new products (the kind where your allowed to touch the boxs). I would like the meetings to be once a month, and I'll probably ask a different distributor/Cisco/vendor/reseller to sponsor coke/beer/pizza each time. I can probably manage to do a lot of presentations myself to get things going, but I don't profess to being an expert in every field, and I'd hate to think I was preaching to people who knew more than myself (which I would be if no one offered me any support). So what do you think. Would I be wasting my time? Philip D'Ath, BCMS, MCP, CCNA, CCDA. http://www.ifm.net.nz/

Advance notice: Invitation to join NZ delegation to APEC TEL26 & associated Security Workshop and Training events
by Frank March 04 Jul '02

04 Jul '02

This message is being distributed to the following mailing lists: GOVIS, Internetnz-members, Ecommerce-contacts, NZNOG. [Apologies for any duplications] I will send follow-up messages on this topic only to anyone who registers interest by replying directly to frank.march(a)med.govt.nz As someone interested in the development of ecommerce, the Internet and related technologies, you are invited to join the New Zealand official delegation to the 26th meeting of the APEC Telecommunications and Information Working Group (TEL26) which will be held in Moscow, Russia from 19 to 23 August 2002. Information about the meeting will be available later on a dedicated website but in the meantime there is some information available on the main APEC TEL website at http://www.apectelwg.org/apec/main.html. The meeting programme will be held in conjunction with a number of associated seminars and workshops (on 19 an 20 August) which increase opportunities for making contacts and bilateral discussions. Of possible wide interest, there are at two security events timed to coincide with TEL26. A two-day workshop on training to combat cyber terrorism and crime, to be hosted and funded by USA, will take place following TEL26 and a two-day meeting between representatives of the European Electronic Signatures Standards Initiative (EESSI) and the TEL e-Security Task Group is proposed to take place prior to TEL26 (this meeting will be funded by EESSI). APEC TEL is one of the most productive APEC working groups and has a very strong private sector presence. It is very active in promoting electronic commerce as well as fostering projects in online security and PKI, telecommunications policy and regulation, broadband dissemination and take-up, research and educational projects and many other relevant areas. The New Zealand delegations to previous meetings of the TEL have included a number of private sector members as well as officials from government agencies. Please note that there is no registration fee for APEC TEL meetings, and the cost of at least some meals are met by sponsors, however delegates are expected to meet their own travel and accommodation costs. The delegation reports from TEL23, TEL24 and TEL25 may be found at along with other information about APEC activities at http://www.ecommerce.govt.nz/international/index.html Please contact me if you are interested in joining the delegation or if you would like any further information. And please pass this information on to anyone else you think might be interested.

Anybody heard of these guys ?
by Simon Byrnand 03 Jul '02

03 Jul '02

Just to change the topic momentarily away from conference registrations etc to more technical matters.... :-) A while back I remember a bit of discussion about a "personal firewall" program that automatically sent out abuse(a)domain emails whenever it detected "intrusion attempts" that was really starting to get up the nose of system admins everywhere.... Yesterday I got a strong sense of Deja Vu when I received the following email to abuse@ (details xxx'ed to protect the innocent :) -------------------8<--------------------- Complaint ID: [securepipe.com #xxxxxx] The following is a complaint against an IP or domain which appeared in our logs, indicating possible network abuse. If you have received this report in error, please forward it to the appropriate party or let us know. A user, apparently from your network, probed port 139 (NETBIOS) on the IP appearing in the log except below.

The question is should I be taking this seriously, or ignoring it. The fact that the "complaint" had an ID number suggested they may have a system like spamcop where you can quickly log in and address the issue on their website. Unless I'm blind, they don't have anything like that on their site, only lots of promotional material for their companys products/services. (Does that make this email effectively unsolicited advertising ? :) Then there is the question of severity - I'd be interested to know where most sysadmins draw the line between accidental and harmless connections and outright mallicious activity. IMHO a single connection attempt to port 139 doesn't fall into the category of mallicious, and could indeed be totally accidental. I can think of a number of actions in windows that will inadvertently cause it to try to make a netbios connection to a remote host - sometimes you have to go out of your way to STOP the stupid thing from doing that...(netbios hostname resolution anyone?) I'm definately not trying to downplay the importance of security, but I can see a lot of nuisance value if we get to the point where any connection to a non-desired port is automatically considered mallicious, and every man and his dog has their firewall automatically firing off emails every time somebody tries to connect to them on a port they weren't expecting connections on... Anyway, I'd be interested in hearing from anyone else who has dealt with "securepipe.com", or just peoples opinions on the matter of automated firewall abuse emailing in general...

In the spirit of Networking and Beer (Yep it's in the AUP), I'd just like to invite anyone who is in Wellington on Thursday along to Curry. A few of the networking people around town have been doing Thursday night curries for a few weeks now (ever since I flew in, maybe a bit before) and it's become a bit of a thing. If anyone wants to join us for Curry/Chat/Beer on Thursday, then get yourself to ThursdayNightCurry.com, check out the rules etc and we'll see you there.

by Mark Foster 01 Jul '02

Hi folks, apologies for the offtopic nature of this post. We're in need of a couple of Datashow units for the Uniforum conference this year. The rates ive obtained for rental units so far arent particularly brilliant - ive managed to get one, we ideally would like to have three for the entire period Thursday-Sunday.. If anyone on this list is in a position to assist, im authorised to use a free conference registration as a bargaining chip :) Thats around $400 value for the four days worth. Note that two days are a weekend also. :) If anyone has a unit they could possibly loan us for the duration of the conference, please contact me directly either via email (offlist) or call me directly on 021 499 368. Auckland area preferred, and im happy make any other delivery arrangements.

I'm definatly interested! Even though I'm in Hamilton - it definatly sounds worth the trip every month/whatever frequency you/we decide. Personally - I think it is best to keep it as a club - with very minimal/no cost - although I realise that refreshments/venues can cost somewhat. Also - I reakon it'd be nice to see some other vendors equipment - just for some variety. I'm also all for semi practical/workshop type situations - for doing stuff like ipsec or multicast (just to expand one's knowlege). Just the value of having a meet - where cisco people can talk cisco is just huuge.

I've not been to one of these before so sorry if these are questions about the obvious, anyway I was supposed to write something out so maybe we could ask management to give us the time off work to attend and maybe pay for us. 1. What is Standard vs Economy vs Budget? I see different prices but no explanation of what the difference is other than mention of Lunch. 2. What do the workshops usually cover, what is their format etc? 3. Everyone has to pay $85 to become a member? 3. I see things like "discount around 20%" before the 30th if we miss out on the Early Bird prices, what is the actual price then if we miss out on the first 50 discount? 4. Actually how much does it cost if I only book for one day? I really need prices if we request money from management. Sorry but I couldn't find this stuff on the webpage, if I missed the URL please let me know. -- Simon J.

Apache vulnerability
by Steve Phillips 21 Jun '02

21 Jun '02

Just a note to all that don't know about this one - there are a LOT of still vulnerable servers out there, there have also been exploits published and in the wild for FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and rumors of win32 exploits, linux exploits and solaris exploits, if you haven't upgraded your web server for the past 2 years, now is your chance :-) Also of note, some apps that come bundled with precompiled versions of apache's web server will need vendor supplied patches, you should all check with your vendors to find out what they are doing and what their upgrade paths will be. There is a scanner available from http://www.eeye.com that you can use :-) how accurate it is I'm not sure, but if its reporting is true then my alteon, a number of Apple based servers and a few M$ IIS/4.0 servers are also vulnerable to this bug :-) tho I think they may simply be bogus reports due to the way it checks for the vulnerability.. -- Steve. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
