my little daughter is keeping me asking about email and messenger on her laptop. Right now, it is not connected to the net. I was thinking about *blocking all outport ports* with iptables but leaving free smtps /pop3s and messenger (pidgin).

View 1 Replies View RelatedI run Ubuntu with Unity. I see a Mail Notification applet in the tray that announces unread mail (from Evolution) and incoming IMs from Empathy. I uninstalled both programs, and replaced the IM program with Pidgin. (I don't have a preferred email client yet.)
Now Pidgin lets me know whether I have received new email messages from the services it is connected to. These notifications show up in the Buddy List window. Is there a way to get Pidgin to use the Mail Notification applet instead? I read in their site that "Pidgin was not designed to be an email client" but it would seem that all the pieces are in place to reroute those notifications to the mail notification applet.
Optionally, it would also be cool if when I clicked on those notifications, a browser window would open up to the webmail account the notification came from. (I have both Windows Live and Gmail accounts.)
Is there a way to get an account on Pidgin, say an MSN account that has the option to display email notifications checked, to open a selected email client such as Evolution or Thunderbird instead of opening Hotmail in a tab in Firefox?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've noticed in the last few weeks that whenever I open a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat Reader I get several files with names like 4cbe92d509fde in my /tmp directory. This happens for all PDFs, whether I download them or create them myself. Has anyone else seen this happen? It's not a big deal, since I can just rm those files. I'm just curious about how this happens, and if there's a way to stop it. I'm using Acrobat Reader 9.3.2 in F13 (32-bit).

This is not Ubuntu-specific thing-y per se but i will go on. I cant connect to msn messenger service from my university's environment cause the administration has blocked all the ports that messenger needs.
I have a server in my home which runs Ubuntu and i would like to create a tunnel from my school to this server, and connect to messenger service through that tunnel, i have been trying to get this working with ssh, and i successfully made it in a test environment in my home, but the same thing wont work from school.

I've tried both the firewall interface that comes with Fedora and Firestarter, neither can configure as I want. So I think I'm going to have to do it by hand. In this laptop I have one 10/100 Nic and one wifi connection, at times either of them can be connected to the network. How can I configure IPtables so that any traffic is allowed out, nothing is allowed in (other than std stateful firewall replies), no icmp and that the fw logs any attempts to connect to the laptop?

for quite a while inside of our organization we've been editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables directly without much issues. However it was suggested to us that by doing so we risk losing all those rules whenever some package decides to use lokkit or "system-config-firewal*"Doing a bit of analysis I can't really find any trace of code that would prevent us from maintaining iptables just the way we were (as long as *we* don't use lokkit or system-config-firewall*) since "service iptables save" is a valid technique and uses iptables-save script which is part of iptables package and *not* part of system-config-firewall*
So we've got some evidence that may confirm our usage as valid, however it would be nice to know if indeed this is *not* a recommended way of maintaining iptables and we should reconsider how we approach it.
I'd like to pass all traffic between bridge ports via the FORWARDING chain, so I changed following sysctl parameters:
Code:
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-ip6tables = 1
net.bridge.bridge-nf-call-iptables = 1
