Anyone interested in donating space / connectivity / kit for a proper NZ Debian mirror?

by Michael Fincham

Hi everyone, Citylink's official Debian mirror (ftp.nz.debian.org) is apparently again broken (not even listening on port 80 from where I'm sitting). Would anyone be seriously interested in donating rack space, national transit, or hardware to the cause of another official Debian mirror for NZ? Having reliable and cheap access to free software projects like Debian is critically important, and having a second official mirror seems like a no-brainer to me. I am very happy to donate my time to admin and monitor any equipment provided for this, and to liase with the Debian project as required. Perhaps Citylink could give us some insight in to the traffic levels their existing mirrors see? -- Michael Fincham

Xtra mail issues

by Chris Roberts

Hi Is there someone that can help with the issue of delayed mail with Xtra / Yahoo. There has been no mail sent to the xtra domain for some days now (like a week) so should there have been any issues it should have resolved. The NZNOG phone number for the NOC ends in Asia with some unhelpful people. We suspect the issue may have been caused by a winery sending a newsletter or a compromised user email address as you do from time to time. The domain that is being rejected is amuri.net I some one can contact me or sam(a)amuri.net or remove the block which would be even better that would be great. Below is the reject message: Action: failed Status: 4.4.2 Diagnostic-Code: X-Postfix; delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with mx2.tnz.mail.yahoo.com[124.108.96.211] while sending RCPT TO and The mail system <xxxxxxx(a)xtra.co.nz>: delivery temporarily suspended: lost connection with mx2.tnz.mail.yahoo.com[124.108.96.211] while sending RCPT TO Cheers Chris --

OT: Dodgy Russian port-scanning service / 158.255.5.147 causing high CPU

by Liam Farr

Hi, Just thought I’d throw this at the list, more of an interest piece than anything. A downstream network noticed today some extra latency on their network, caused by a significant increase in packets / CPU usage on a Mikrotik CCR in the path. At approximately 3:20 am this morning there was an uptick of about 25k PPS on their network, although not a significant increase in the amount of overall traffic (mbps) on the network. After some investigation this afternoon it was found that the additional increase in traffic was coming from 158.255.5.147 which appears to be a Russian web based port scanning service. While the service itself claims not to be malicious, by design it was causing a detrimental affect on the customer network, (increased CPU and increased latency), there is also the question of what the results of the port scan are used for, which I highly doubt is a legitimate purpose... Anyway enjoy your Sunday :) Liam

RAD E1 over IP converters

by Richard Naylor

Having a bit of a clean out here and found a pair of RAD IP-MUX-11 units. They are E1 over IP. Basically they use about 10Mbps to shift an E1 circuit (2 Mbps). One unit has a faulty power supply (5v and 3.5V) but otherwise is good. Free to a good home can be your "home lab" or business - otherwise they go into the recycle bin. Email off list if you're interested will this (de)generate into a series of emails...... Rich

Contacting Microsoft regarding Domain Names

by lennon＠orcon.net.nz

I tried contacting Microsoft Regarding .kiwi.nz domain a number of times but I have had no response from them and the problem has not been resolved. (This is over multiple years and multiple complaints) (Its only been 4 years) The Problem is.... I own www.kiwi.nz. This shouldn’t actually cause any problems except with bing webmaster tools. (Most other people including Google get it right within a few days/weeks) . Yes at the start I expected a problem but seeing all the bing stats for the thousands of other .kiwi.nz domains isn’t interesting for me. I expect people who own other domains like www.maori.nz and www.geek.nz etc would have the same issue as well maybe but you never know. Craig
