So my current free dns provider is telling me it`s time to find a new provider. Cause he is giving up providing. So now I`m on a quest to find a new provider. Google gives me a lot of help, but I still not sure what to use. I signed up with freedns.afraid.org to check out what they can do for free. But I still need some more input.
Anyone know of any good providers?
Does not have to be free, but as close to free as possible is good. I have a server at home wich I can use for secondary dns providing, but I suspect my ISP dont accept that:)
-Andreas.

So, Im at a friends house and trying to install a wlan desktop card. This is a D-link DWA-547 desktop adapter. Just installed the madwifi package using apt-get and module-assistant. Followed the instructions on http://madwifi.org/wiki/UserDocs/Distro/Debian/MadWifi But it just does not work. So I will paste some interesting details: lspci:
02:02.0 Network controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. Unknown device 0023 (rev 01)dmesg:

Linux debian 2.6.22-3-686 #1 SMP Mon Nov 12 08:32:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/LinuNow, what can I do about this? We tried a few weeks ago using a Broadcom card using ndiswrapper and hopefully we will never try that again, that was a real pain to configure, and finally not work anyway. So we re-installed debian and bought a new card in hope of a better solution. And so far that has not happend:/ -Andreas

After two months of hell with some hardware supplier I finally got my server back up and running.
Installing Debian went like a dream, all up to the point when I was about to install apache.
Which one to install? 1.3 og 2.2.3?
Of course, I installed both. The confusion was total. Wich php to go with this? php4 or php5?
I stopped the 1.3-server and figured I should take a step into the future and run apache 2.2.3 and learn how that works.
But holy sh** was I in for surprise. Now, I been working with apache 1.3 for about 4 years. But I cannot for the life of me get this to work. What the hell is up with this?
Why is there several folders such as sites-enabled and sites-available? Wich one should I edit to make them work? (yeah, I runned the a2ensite)
Perhaps apache2 is really made to run from a web based program?
I finally found the a2enmod php4/php5 - and thought that would make php work on my sites, but of course I was wrong. No I get a download popup asking me to download x-httpd-php. That makes it clear that php is not working.
I´ve been googling like a fanatic the last couple of days to find some starting guides and howto´s - but nothing.
1. I got a mainpage with no php on it right now, just index.html just to get it working. But I still get the php error. Even I checked everywhere and the DocumentRoot points to a folder wich have NO *.php in it.
2. Should I go back to apache 1.3? The sites I´m serving is really only galleries and light stuff like that. Is there a need for apache2? Or should I be prepared for the future and stick with apache2 and learn it once and for all?

For about 2-3 days ago my debian server starts acting wierd.
Every time I do reboot, a random disk goes away. I got 3 mounted pluss my /dev/hda wich has my system on. Yesterday /dev/hdb was gone and now /dev/hdf is gone. But /dev/hdb is back in buisness. My setup has worked great for about 4 years now. Of course I have done some reinstall and such but it has been working flawlessy.
Samba is strange, cannot log in. proftpd gives me the same. (All failed when trying to start during boot). When a local user is trying to use screen, all I/he/she gets is: Directory '/var/run/screen' must have mode 777.
uh? So, what the hell is going on?
In my /var/log/samba there is a bunch of logs wich I never seen before. Very strange.

On my mac Im used to run a app called onyx, wich will fix all the permissions on the system. Is there any program that will do the same on debian?

So, we are doing some major upgrade on our webserver this week and I was wondering ,what are my options for installing some webhosting software? My old method was adding users through the system and making "room" for them, then I had to make a custom webalizer script and adding them in a cron schedule. Now this worked out just fine of course but it was a bit cumbersome. Are there any alternative method of this? And yeah, google shows me *only* how to rent webhosting service. Oh well. The server will be running Debian Etch on a Core 2 Duo cpu.

So after a few weeks with painfully slow ftp/samba speeds I finally gave up. I downloaded debian netinst iso and booted away. Erased /dev/hda1 to really get rid of the ooooold system. Was very satisfied when I discovered all my other disks and files where untouched. And this time my third netcard was discovered during the install and I figured I might as well could try that one. So I configured that eth2 to 192.168.0.1 NAT and it worked like a charm. For about 3 hours. God damn, I'm still having problems with the speeds!! What the hell can this be? I been googling the last 4 hours and I'm soon going to break something! Now, some facts before my gf wakes up (It's 06:18 in the moring here)

Firewall: None; Other limiters: none; This is really a fresh install. Only Gnome 2.18 installed as the culprit, but all gnome* as been stopped. No dns-issues in proftpd.conf, and the "speed hack" in samba.conf is in use. Passive/active transfers both been tried out in my ftp client. Still no dice. Please help me solve this. Someone.

Just having a strange problem. This week I have to reboot my server once a day to
get my normal speeds. I transfer a lot of images from my laptop to my server. This usually goes with the speed of about 3000kbs (wireless). But hours after reboot this goes down to 30 kbs. What the hell? Both samba and proftpd gives me these speeds. What can cause this problems?

While I was working on this I found out I had a broken courier-webadmin package. So I figured updating that package would not cause any damage. And was I wrong. No all the sudden no one can connect to my mail server. The server can recieve mail. But no one can login.
So I figured my MTA is working, but my imap/pop3 server are screwed up. IE Courier is damaged. Now I use vexim to add users and vexim comes with some changes to /etc/courier/imapd - pop3d. All been detailed at the homepage.
Now im pretty sure I done the right modifications to imapd and pop3d. But I still cannot login and get mail. What could be wrong? /var/log/mail.log

It's me again!:)
This time I'm wondering if there are anyone with some experience with monitoring
spamd and clam. I guess I can use the good old terminal and such. But since I have fetish for great webstats, im looking for this.
Tried some searches but found about nothing for spamd/clam-av for debian. Maybe im blind, but I did not find any. And since I'm at work for the rest of this weekend this should be a great read on Sunday night.
Any other tips on spamassassin and clam-av are welcome as well. Since I installed the programs a couple days ago, I haven't got the time to really to check it out. I always find my own little prosjects and never have the time to follow 'em through.
The stats im looking for is like a dayli output of a folder scan and such, very easy. Sure, if anything else fails I could go for a 'scan -v /some/folder > /var/www/output.txt' but...
Cheers
Andreas
