Update is splitted in two part because of a kernel update to accomodate free space limitation.
1.4.19 contain some packages updates, most notabily a dnsmasq update to be immune on recent dns advisory.
1.4.20 install the second part of the kernel update and configure the new kernel.
1.4.19 could be installed separately from 1.4.20. A reboot is not needed after 1.4.19 installation.

Concerning the dns issue, see more details in
http://www.heise-online.co.uk/news/DNS-security-problem-details-released–/111145
It is very likely anyone need to a patch without waiting and our is in 1.4.19 for
dnsmasq.
The dns server you use need to be patched too or you may switch to opendns.

You need to reboot to use the new kernel after 1.4.20 installation.

Hmm starting from Gutsy my Wifi LED wont works … now after i read from the ThinkWiki .. what i read from it was The LED is not implemented at least in the IWL4965 driver. How ever, As an alternative, you can install a backported IWL4965 driver that may fix the LED problem on your system.

To active WiFi LED,

sudo apt-get install linux-backports-modules-hardy

Now, my Wifi LED lighted beside the bluetooth icon !!! yeay !!!

Don’t know what to do today so i decide to try out the nagios2 in hardy, so what should i do is :-

$ sudo apt-get install nagios2 nagios-plugins-basic nagios-plugins-standard nagios-plugins nagios-plugins-extra nagios-snmp-plugins nagios-images

wait until all the installation done, your nagios2 can be view by http://localhost/nagios2/ but u may find that u can’t login because u have set the username n password. So lets solve it by doing

$ sudo htpasswd -c /etc/nagios2/htpasswd.users nagiosadmin

its because the auth file need to be create since the nagios configuration file stated in /etc/apache2/conf.d/nagios2.conf

So hope u guys may tried it since its quite a good tools for monitoring the networks .. Good Luck & hepi playing with the nagios.cfg !!

The following are all closely related terms:

• RBL is an abbreviation for “Real-time Blackhole List”. As mentioned below, “RBL” was the name of the first system to use this technology, a proprietary MAPS DNSBL, and “RBL” is a registered trademark^[1]. Some pieces of mail software have configuration parameters that use “RBLs” or “RBL domains” when any DNSBLs can be used, not just the MAPS RBL.

• DNSBL is an abbreviation that sometimes stands for “DNS blacklist”, although different DNSBL operators define the term in various ways. The use of the word “blacklist” is somewhat controversial. The reasons cited include its association with Joseph McCarthy and legal liability ^[2]. Instead, some people have suggested that DNSBL should stand for “DNS blocklist” even though DNSBLs are not always used for direct blocking, or “DNS blackhole list” based on the RBL expansion, even though the DNSBL method does not create true blackholes. A minimally controversial expansion of the acronym is “DNS-Based List” ^[3][4][5]

• DNSWL is an abbreviation for “DNS whitelist”. It is a list of IP addresses that some people may want to treat more favourably.

• RHSBL is an abbreviation for “Right Hand Side Blacklist”. This is similar to a DNSBL but it lists domain names rather than IP addresses. The term comes from the “right-hand side” of an email address — the part after the @ sign — which clients look up in the RHSBL.

• URIBL is an abbreviation for “Uniform Resource Identifier Blacklist”. A URIBL lists domain names and IP addresses that appear in URIs such as web sites mentioned in message bodies. It contrasts with an RHSBL which lists domain names used in e-mail addresses ^[6].

If you got email problem like the my previous post , u may check it inside your terminal by installing rblcheck by doing

sudo apt-get install rblcheck

Here are some output :

$ rblcheck
