NZNOG People, I'm not willing to get involved in a process of deciding for myself that one poster's five postings are cause for blocking, and someone else's are not. And the balance of the (admittedly small) number of emails I got on the subject last month was against restricting postings. On the other hand, I'm not at all happy with this list's s/n ratio. I have this morning sent to a number of posters requests not to send further inappropriate postings to this list. If these result in much improved behaviour, well and good. If not, I plan to move to a practice familiar to followers of cricket. Friendly warnings for misbehaviour may be given. Formal warnings follow. Too many formal warnings and you are asked to retire from the match. And yes, that would mean a move to restricting postings to addresses previously supplied, if not necessarily subscribed. Comments on that plan to the list, please. If it seems to me necessary to implement it I plan to put it to a vote as a set of additions to the AUP. When that might happen depends on postings. - Donald Neal List Administrator -- Donald Neal Mobility & Calling Platforms Network Delivery Telecom New Zealand Ltd --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

Dean's Wireless Walkabout
by Dean Pemberton 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

Hi all; Yes this might be a first, I'm going to drag the topic BACK to something network related. I happen to be in Auckland today. Flew in for customer chit chat which will happen tommorow. Had a spare afternoon and no one to see so I thought I might do the geek thing and see how little old Auckland was getting along with it's wireless networking. SO, I slapped the 802.1Q card into the laptop and strapped the GPS onto the outside of my backpack and went for a walk. I walked down Queen Street from the top to the water, and then back up to Albert St to Wellesley then back up Symonds to my hotel. Well. Auckland sure is brimming with wireless. But the concern (and I spose the reason that I posted this at all) was that most of it is insecure. Now I'm a good guy. I don't want to get access to anything, god knows I see enough internet as it is. I just wanted to see how many places had embraced the 802.1Q fad. So all in all 29 networks jumped out and grabbed me as I was walking past. only 4 of them were using WEP. Now because I didn't actually try to gain access to any of them, I have no idea what the internal security of them is like. But I'm not expecting much. I don't think I sniffed anything off the sky tower, I was only using the small antenna on the card. So if you run a wireless network in the center of Auckland and you were using the strategy of "Oh it will never make it down to the street" Then you are wrong and you might like to put some more security on. I thought about mailing my networklist out as well. But I decided against it. Mainly because it has exact GPS locations and network names. It would make easy pickings for anyone who wanted to gain access. If you want to mail me privatly with your network name and/or card MAC address then I will give you a yes or no answer. Dont feel alone though. I've done the same in North Sydney and come up with similar numbers. Next week wellington. Have fun Dean --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

RE: Code Red (Take Two)

A little less of an impact this time then, huh? We've had two customers infected, both installs of which were less than a few days old. Seems that most admins (in NZ at least) have been rather better prepared this time round. Don't know if I can say the same for our friends overseas - many of the IPs that I have logged originate in Asia. Some in the States and Europe, but not as many. A few illegal, unpatched IIS installs, maybe... Must say, though, it was rather funny reading about the 'Code Red no-show' in the news this morning...

(off topic) Stop with all the garbage please.

Jeff, Dr Joe and all, I see myself as being fortunate to be a member of this mailing list, to here the wisdom of the local net Gods. It appears some of you do not share this view. I see this list as a valuable resource for the local net industry, and of late it seems to have deteriated into basicly a type of email chatroom for all sorts of off-topic bitching. So I am asking that you please have some respect for the intended purpose of this list and other list members. If you want to bitch to each other or discuss stuff that is not relavent, please do so by private email, as I am sure most of you have better things to do than sort through all the shit that has been posted to the list lately. Sorry for posting this off topic e-mail and sounding like a hypocrite and also adding to the large amount of crap alread on this list.

Alternative List
by Matt Camp 01 Aug '01

01 Aug '01

A while back an alternative list was proposed... most people seemed quite receptive to the idea... so it now exists. To subscribe, send a mail to majordomo(a)noise.net.nz with 'subscribe nznet' in the body. The alternative list is more informal, and more generally aimed at the NZ Networking industry. It may contain things such as details of used equipment for sale, and discussions which would be regarded as off topic here. Hopefully this will give us a place to discuss such things, and will keep the noise level down here somewhat. --- Matt Camp --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog

maybe uh, ending discussion of this completely off-topic discussion and refraining from replying to any further attempts to revive it may be productive?
