OK I've managed to close the services. The ones I had trouble with I
used /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf and commented them out .....
everything still seems to work. I did a full port scan and found ports
1024, 1032, and 6000 (X11) still open.
for a linux (RH 6.2) box that is only connected to one other machine
is X11 needed or can I close this port?
I do intend to connect it to the internet soonish.
I can't find any references to ports 1024 or 1032. Is there any way of
determining what is using them?
Thanks again

netstat -alp | less
See the man page for explanations regarding those options.
The pipe to less is to allow you to scroll up and down the pages with
the output by using the up- and down-arrows on your keyboard.
Port 6000 is the result from running xdm. Running xdm allows X to start
during the boot process, instead of booting to console, where, when users
would want to use X, they would have to log in first and then issue the
startx command to start X.
The reason that xdm is listening to the network is that you can also
connect to the GUI from over the network. Install a X-server on your
windows machine fi from http://www.tucows.com/xwinserver95.html
Configure to use a remote desktop, and select an xdmcp query to the
linux/unix machine running xdm, and you can have access to your linux
GUI from within windows.

We just installed Linux Mandrake 6.0 yesterday. Everything seemed to be

Reply-To: mvjap3 at work <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Have you tried to use the linux fdisk to delete the partition yet???
If I remember right, the two floppy <boot> & <root> disk set that I made
with rawrite.exe from the slackware 3.5 CD's image files included it... So
unless I'm mistaken, all you need to do is boot up from the installation
floppy set, login as root <with the installation boot disks that shouldn't
need a password...> and type at the #prompt,
fdisk
If I remember right, there was another version that was supposed to be
easier to use there also, I "_THINK_" it was called "cfdisk" But in any
event, if you want to clear a linux partition off the drive, a linux
version of fdisk would be the best choice... Then once it's gone, if you
wanted to set up a new dos or windows partition, you could then boot dos
from floppy, and use it's fdisk for that... But if your going to make a
new linux partition, I'd recommend doing that part with the linux fdisk.
Good luck!

Actually i believe it was still called hdg, though it isn't a distinct

think.
I read in alt.os.linux.mandrake that a possible option is the XOSML that
serves as a front end tool for lilo. Think it'll help any? Its

Subject: new kernel build works in one computer but not another
Date: Mon, 9 Apr 2001 13:16:18 -0400
Hello,
I have a laptop whose only communication with the outside world is a
parallel-port ZIP drive (no floppy, no CDROM). So, I have been doing the
OS installs by transferring the hard drive to my desktop system (which is
mostly SCSI). This worked well until I tried to update to a customized
kernel 2.2.18. Since then, the laptop drive will boot up fine in the
desktop machine, but hangs when placed back in the laptop. I have tried to
go back to the old 2.2.16 image but that doesn't fix the problem.
The hang occurs after all the kernel boot messages up to "Freeing kernel
memory 48k" (sorry, can't remember the exact line.) but does _not_ go
ahead into init. I am confused because I made no changes to /etc/inittab.
I would save the kernel messages but don't know how. As they flash by, it
looks like there's some failed attempt to look for the SCSI devices.
I've spent two days on this and I am completely stumped! Thanks in advance
for any help here... more details are at the end of this message.
Jean
The original setup:
1. Dual boot Win98SE/Red Hat Linux 7.0
2. Boot loader is Loadlin.exe:
loadlin c:/linux/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda6 ro mem=126M
initrd=c:/linux/initrd.img ro
(an additional weirdness is that since the new kernel, I get a
bad crash unless I drop mem=128M down to mem=126M)
3. Red Hat installed on laptop drive in desktop computer, no problems but
took up too much space so I decided to compile a custom, updated kernel
with only needed drivers
Changes I made recently:
1. Shared Linux/Windows swap partition using the method described
in the mini-HOW-TO... works just dandy when the hard drive is in the
desktop. It involved some very minor editing of sysinit file.
2. Recompilation of modular kernel: SCSI drivers only as modules, no
experimental drivers chosen... laptop drive set up as hda in desktop
computer during compilation (though not replacing the desktop's main
hard drive (/dev/sda) since I could manipulate booting through the BIOS.)
3. New bzImage copied to /boot/vmlinuz, c:/linux/vmlinuz. During debugging
some other things, I may have copied the /boot directory from my desktop
drive right over my laptop's /boot directory just because I had run out of
ideas.
4. Tried to make a new initrd.img without SCSI modules. Tried using
"noinitrd" option to loadlin line-- Replaced kernels in /boot/vmlinuz and
c:/linux with old 2.2.16 kernel-- replaced /usr/src/linux with old linux
directory backup-- tried rdev on the image file-- no change in the boot
hang.

I think that the command "format /mbr" from DOS will clear your MBR, but I
am not sure about any side-effects. I _believe_ that your partitions,
etc. would be safe but I would wait to hear from someone else before I
tried it.

mention most of it but the site mention something that I don't know before.

2. http_access allow all #in httpd.conf
Regarding the ipchains rules belows I simply just run it on top of the rules
generated by the firewall (firestarter).
Right now anyone can browse from my LAN (192.168.0.0/24)either using the proxy
or without the proxy that I set up.
I want to restrict everyone in my LAN to user the proxy server (192.168.0.3).
Any help is much appreciated.

If you've already deleted the linux partitions, you can clear the MBR
by using the DOS command fdisk /mbr... This command only refreshes the
MBR of the hard drive without any other side-effects...

As I understand it Apache allows the configuration of virtual hosts by
name or by IP address.
I'm not quite sure what that means though. Personally I use a cheap
external redirection service to point requests to
www.DerbyshireAta.org.uk
at
http://wookie.demon.co.uk/DATA
which seems to work OK.
> sendmail what else?
The same redirection service sends mail for
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
where by the miracle of NAT it pops out on a windows PC.
I can send mail from the windows PC using Turnpike as either
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
or
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Turnpike doesn't do mailshots too well as far as I can see, so I do
those by invoking sendmail in a script under Linux. It just uses
whatever noddy defaults I put in through the GUI front end to generate
sendmail.cf - the only unusual thing I've done with that is getting it
to send mail from the domain DerbyshireAta.org.uk.

>kenny.
Okay, let's take this one step at a time -- it's really very
simple. Firstly, you have to know where the cdrom is. You
say it's at dev/hda and I say it's not. /dev/hda is the
primary master -- if you have an IDE hard drive in your
machine it will surely be there. Your cdrom will be either
on the primary slave or on the secondary channel (namely
/dev/hdb, /dev/hdc or /dev/hdd.) You should be able to find
out where it is by typing
dmesg | less
and looking for some sort of entry with cdrom in it. It
should be fairly early on when the IDE channels are being
scanned.
Once you've found out where it is, make note of that. I'm
going to use /dev/hdd for this but you should change that as
fits your system.
Now, given the entry from /etc/fstab you've indicated, mount
will try to hang the thing at /mnt/cdrom so check to make
sure that mountpoint exists by doing a
ls -la /mnt
and looking for a directory named cdrom in the output. If it
does not exist, as root, type
mkdir /mnt/cdrom
As well, you need to make sure that the /dev/cdrom, which is
a symlink to the appropriate drive, exists and is pointing
to the right spot, so do
ls -la /dev/cdrom
You should see it pointing to /dev/hdd. If it doesn't you'll
have to fix it.
rm /dev/cdrom && ln -s /dev/hdd /dev/cdrom
will get you going.
Finally, in order to mount the thing, there has to be a cd
in the drive. In your case, given your /etc/fstab entry, it
has to be an ISO9660 format cd, which most of them are. So,
take a cd, put it in the drive and type
mount /dev/cdrom
or, if you want the full version
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
The second version of that command will work if your fstab
doesn't contain an entry for what you're trying to mount.
Most of this you could have figure out if you had read the
man pages and HowTOs, BTW. Try
man mount

Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 02:35:19 +0800
Hi,
I saw that in the /etc/lilo.conf, there are 3 labels:
linux
linux-smp
linux-up
Could anyone please let me know what are the main differences of selecting
each of them?
Thanks.

Subject: Firestarter firewall experiences?
Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2001 20:38:38 +0200
Hi,
I'm currently running the Firestarter-firewall and I'd like to know if
there's anyone who has experiences with this firewall. I don't have much
time to configure the IPCHAINS-firewall (I'm running RH 6.2) so the
Firestarter seemed OK, but it doesn't stop cookies.
Does anyone have a URL where I can find an on-line configurator? (I know
there is one, but I forgot/lost it)
Thanks very much,
Huub

Try to read the good SAMBA-HOWTO on http://www.linuxdoc.org

Subject: Any RPM OS checking when install or upgrade package on Red Hat linux?
Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2001 02:59:24 +0800
Hi,
I have installed Red Hat 7
and have downloaded a lot of RPMs from the red hat sites.
Do anyone know if I install or upgrade the RPMs,
will the RPM be automatically checked if it is specified
for the Red Hat 7, not the othe OS like Red Hat 6.2?
