Re: df and ext3

2001-11-21 Thread Curtis Hogg
This was a rather lengthy thread on the ext3-users mailing list (more than 
once, one thread started by me). The issue is indeed with the 'auto' 
fstype, and setting the fstype to 'ext3' in your /etc/fstab will fix the 
problem. One of the main reasons for using type 'auto' was so that if you 
booted from a non-ext3 kernel you'd still have access to your partition, 
just mounted as ext2. After botching my linux system up, I discovered that 
as long as fsck checks your partition and marks it clean, it doesn't 
matter if your fstype is ext3 or auto, it'll get mounted ok.

rc.S is for system-required scripts iirc... networking is started up there
instead of at the rc.[123456] level, so it ensures you have network
connnectivity in all runlevel modes... well except for singleuser of

Kinda Off Topic, Re: debian init.d scripts

2001-01-23 Thread Curtis Hogg
In the init.d/networking script, for the rp_filter init section... is
there a way to make it only set up filtering for certian ipv4 devices? I'm
running FreeS/WAN IPsec and it doesn't work if rp_filter is set to 1 for
ipsec0 (which it seems to get set to by default)... or can someone point
me to a better solution for making rp filtering not enabled on that

One fine day, the bus driver went to the bus garage, started his bus,
and drove off along the route.  No problems for the first few stops -- a few
people got on, a few got off, and things went generally well.  At the next
stop, however, a big hulk of a guy got on.  Six feet eight, built like a
wrestler, arms hanging down to the ground.  He glared at the driver and said,
"Big John doesn't pay!" and sat down at the back.
Did I mention that the driver was five feet three, thin, and basically
meek?  Well, he was.  Naturally, he didn't argue with Big John, but he wasn't
happy about it.  Well, the next day the same thing happened -- Big John got on
again, made a show of refusing to pay, and sat down.  And the next day, and the
one after that, and so forth.  This grated on the bus driver, who started
losing sleep over the way Big John was taking advantage of him.  Finally he
could stand it no longer. He signed up for bodybuilding courses, karate, judo,
and all that good stuff.  By the end of the summer, he had become quite strong;
what's more, he felt really good about himself.
So on the next Monday, when Big John once again got on the bus
and said "Big John doesn't pay!," the driver stood up, glared back at the
passenger, and screamed, "And why not?"
With a surprised look on his face, Big John replied, "Big John has a
bus pass."

Your statement would arguably be correct if the card in question weren't
PCI. the addresses you listed are correct for ISA cards. however, my Tulip
based card is at IO 0x6000, and one of my rtl8139 cards at home is at
0xb400... PCI cards have a higher IO address range.

What I'm interested to know, is what does the module say in dmesg when
you try to load it, under 2.2.18 and under 2.4.2 when you just do a
'modprobe tulip'? What error does it give when you don't give anything, in
2.4.2?

Re: rpc.statd hacking but firewalled

2001-03-12 Thread Curtis Hogg
i don't recall what port rpc.statd binds to, but what it is is a part of
the NFS system, so disabling rpc.statd, i think, will also break NFS
mounting on your side. you can still mount remote systems i think.

And, yes, it is a hack attempt.. by some scriptkiddie trying to use a
common buffer overflow in rpc.statd... only problem is that the's using
the Solaris overflow, not the I386 one... see all those \220s? those are
Solaris NOOP codes used to overflow the buffer. x86 NOOPs are \90 iirc...

at any rate, turn off NFS and you turn off rpc.statd. You could use a
program like snort to alert you to other attacks like the one directed at
your machine

you might want to check your /etc/services to see if it says where
rpc.statd usually sticks itself.

hope this helps any

For those of you in the reseller business, here is a helpful tip that will
save your support staff a few hours of precious time.  Before you send your
next machine out to an untrained client, change the permissions on /etc/passwd
to 666 and make sure there is a copy somewhere on the disk.  Now when they
forget the root password, you can easily login as an ordinary user and correct
the damage.  Having a bootable tape (for larger machines) is not a bad idea
either.  If you need some help, give us a call.

Re: PCI BIOS has not enabled the device at ...

2000-06-10 Thread Curtis Hogg
I had problems with my Linksys tulip card, having a similar error, only in
my case the tulip driver told me that my card was on irq 0... do you run
windows on your system as well? if so, were you in windows prior to
booting into linux? and did you do a soft reset to get there? Windows
screws with PCI cards, especially network cards, and linux doesn't like
that very much... my problem went away after i started resetting by
poweroff to clear ram and my system configuration... if i just went into
linux after being in windows i didn't get my card. cold booting allowed it
to find my card just fine. maybe that could be your problem.

Re: folder highlightning in Pine ?

I'm using Pine 4.32.

In my settings, i have 'enable-aggregate-command-set' under Advanced
Command Preferences turned on, that might be what turns it on, i know you
have to hit ; before you can use p/n since they are bound to the
previous/next folder commands otherwise... you must do the ; from the menu
that lists all of your folders...

i also have enable-dot-folders on, but i don't know if that helps any.

daytime, i'm not sure on.

chargen, as it's name suggests, generates characters
echo, echos any characters it receives.

there have been some really fun denial of service attacks back in the
olden-days, caused by spoofing a tcp session and linking the echo and
chargen ports together =)

my whole builtin services section is commented out, so i don't worry about
it.

hope this helps.

libpcap0 question

2001-05-31 Thread Curtis Hogg
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I've noticed that the Debian libpcap0 package comes with a shared object.
tomoe-hotaru:# dpkg -L libpcap0
(...)
/usr/lib/libpcap.so.0.6.2
(...)

My question then, is this? How/where did the .so file come from? When I
compiled libpcap 0.6.2 from source from www.tcpdump.org, all i got was a
libpcap.a file.

Since the program I'm working on is using the shared object, this made it
slightly annoying when I moved the files over to my laptop (which is not
using Debian, or really any existing distribution), as it only had the .a.
Now, I can statically compile libpcap in, but i didn't want to do this.

What I'm wondering, is how did Debian get the .so file, since there was no
switches or rules in the makefile for creating it out-of-the-tarball?

Any help would be appreciated.

What do you have your repeater type set to for your gpm configuration? You
may have a problem there.

What's the actual type of your mouse.

(RESOLVED) Re: libpcap0 question

2001-06-02 Thread Curtis Hogg
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I finally found out how to do it (RTFMing really does work). In my
/usr/src/libpcap-0.6.2/ dir, i did
ld -o libpcap.so -shared *.o

and that produced what appears to be a working .so libpcap (as in, my
program didn't horribly complain when i started it and it appears to be
working perfectly)

I wrote a patch against the configure script and Makefile.in for
libpcap-0.6.2, which is attached to this message if anyone wants it.

Problems restarting Sendmail after upgrade.

2002-10-24 Thread Curtis Hogg
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

I'm running Debian unstable (yes, i know that's a bad idea), and get this 
message after apt-get update/apt-get upgrading today:

Start sendmail now? (Y/n) 
Starting Mail Transport Agent: sendmail/usr/sbin/sendmail: /lib/libc.so.6: 
version `GLIBC_2.3' not found (required by /usr/sbin/sendmail)
/usr/sbin/sendmail: /lib/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.3' not found 
(required by /usr/sbin/sendmail)
invoke-rc.d: initscript sendmail, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing sendmail (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I have 2 questions:
 1) GLIBC_2.3?
 2) How can I fix this problem? I do run a mailing list from this server, 
and while it's very low-traffic, it will be a problem if sendmail
    doesn't work.
