Hmm..I think I've found the error ! I just changed rcpppoed restart to rcpppoed start and it *should* work. We'll see how things are going after the next disconnect from the telecom. Learning has been well today, just the lunch was a bit heavy so I got *very* tired this afternoon over that stupid book. I hope I'll finish that tomorrow with the Kalman filter stuff and then calculate old exams.

My brother had a car accident. That's what happens to 18-year old's who try to get their cars to the limit you say. Well, everyone has to learn his lesson...glad nothing is hurt except damage on the car.

Moin !

Pretty exhausted after setting up my machine correctly with firewall, bind and apache. Though apache was the easiest to set up with SuSE :) DSL is really great stuff, though I encountered some weird machine hangs yesterday. And the reconnect script that stulle gave me doesn't seem to work - the ipchains module apparently still gets loaded though my firewall uses iptables and that is conflicting. The /var/log/warn log said something from /etc/ppp/ip-down so I edited that and removed all refereces to the suse personal-firewall starting. I'll reboot the machine before I now leave for my colleagues learning for my exam and see if I got disconnected tonight when I'm back.

Another idea that I thought would be useful is doing my mails over my machine alone and moving all my mailfolders there instead of keeping everything on the laptop. That requires a proper re-connect after t-online cuts the connection though....

Ah, and thanks to those that certified me as master :) That's a nice act so to speak, I appreciate you're all worshipping my feet :) Uhm...I should go and certify the others as well then...but I'll do that tonight, time to get ready now and leave.

Sigh. I join the crowd who spreads their sorrow on a little, lonesome diary on the net as well... :)

Now, after I got DSL yesterday and set up my main machine as a firewall and router, I'm actually a bit proud I got it managed - not that I didn't thought I was able to do it, but yet - I did it and success is always good for your self-esteem :)

One thing that bugs me though is that I can't close port 6000 for X on the main machine to the outside world but preserve it for my inner net. I *need* to have xdm show up from my laptop on the firewall machine where the monitor is...

Anyway, engough for today. Not much news anyway except those usual large commits on a sunday...we'll wait and see if those KHTML bugs go away soon :) At least, the webforms work again so I can post my diary entries :)
