Re: [Cooker-firewall] Cooker-firewall configuration extremly slow ?

"Would it be too restrictive to restrict ssh to the internal interface?"

I think that with a firewall it should be mandatory to restrict ssh to the 
internal network. That's one less hole on the outside. However, maybe you 
could make it configurable from the web interface. I would put a warning on 
the configuration, though.

 Would it be too restrictive to restrict ssh to the internal interface?

  - Jay

 In the wise words of Stephen Thomas:
  I like the ability to ssh in from the internal network. It allows me to
  do things that the WEB interface doesn't.
 
  1. Manage software that the web interface doesn't handle such as snort,
  IDS. 2. View real time logging like "tail -f /var/log/messages" and other
  logs. 3. What if I want to add some custimized IDS software or firewall
  add on apps later?
 
  Our plans for the firewall are to set it up on a system without a
  keyboard, mouse or monitor. SSH would be a necessity to do anything that
  can't be done by the web interface.
 
  I believe in using the web interface for what it is designed to handle.
  To try to configure stuff through a shell that is in the web interface
  would be dumb. But taking away the ssh capability is like removing a the
  latch on the hood of a car because you should never have to go under the
  hood. Sometimes it is necessary to ssh in because the developers can't
  think of everything.

   HEee heee.  Yes.  :)
  
   But I was under the impression that the system was intended to only be

   not taking effect, or at least interfering with each other.
  
   The other reason it would be helpful is that if someone will only be
   administering the system via the web interface, we can lock down the

Sorry i dont't understand the question ?
To look around what ?, it's not a game, or a trip.
Are you connecting to your cisco or 3COM  gateway just to look around

   No, that's my whole point.  I'm not connecting to my Cisco or 3COM
   gateway at all.  I've turned the telnet option off on my Cisco.  I
   administer the Cisco router through a dedicated serial interface, or at
   least through a dedicated interface...
  
Of course, we are using remote connection, if your web session was
closed, or if you want to
do some admin tasks not included in the web tool, you can do it with
a remote connection.
  
   Yes, this is the part I worry about.  Why not remove the ssh

[Cooker] cooker: bash2/readline: vi mode: problem: ESC k $ r X

2001-03-11 Thread Jan Vicherek


 Hi,

 I don't know what's wrong with bash2/readline, but after "set -o vi",
doing ESC k $ r X, which is supposed to *replace* last character of
previous cmd line with character X, it *inserts* X.

   What has gone wrong ? (rpm -qi mandrake-release says 8.0-0.1mdk, build
date 2001-02-07 09:23:13AM EST)

 Thanx,

Re: [Cooker] ssh X11 forwarding broken

  For the moment X11 forwarding through ssh doesn't work on the Mandrake
  distro. I was trying to get this working on my boxen when I noticed the
  following on http://www.openssh.com/faq.html#2.6 :
 
 
  
  NOTE: For users of Linux Mandrake 7.2, Mandrake modifies the XAUTHORITY
  environment variable in /etc/skel/.bashrc, and thus any bash user's home
  directory. This
  variable is set by OpenSSH and for either of the above options to work,
  you need to comment out the line:
 
   # export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority
  
 
  It all boils down to /etc/profile.d/xhost.sh and xhost.csh. Is this
  XAUTHORITY environment setting really needed here, since it will
  overrule the XAUTHORITY environment setting made by ssh -- screws the
  X11 forwarding over ssh...

 I think this is the right way. Although it's maybe not what's expected. SSH 
 is used more and more. Not only just as a fancy telnet but also for things 
 like CVS access. In that case you don't need X forwarding and it would just 
 open a security hole.
Well, I would prefer that user tunnel their X11 traffic over ssh instead
of
setting up their DISPLAby themselves. Using X11 is / could be considered
to
be a security risk (especially with win32 X-servers), tunneling the X
applications
over ssh should only make the situation better, not worse.

 But i understand why one wants to have X forwarding with ssh because it is 
 just handy. 
Yup... you ssh into a box and then you can just start applications and
they will
show up on your display. Very nice.

 So i suggest to have sshx what is the ssh with X forwarding enabled.
hmmm... on the client side you could do that, how about the sshd?
Wouldn't we be
making things more complicated? 

Anyway, with the "export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority" still there it
won't work ;-)

Re: [Cooker] ssh X11 forwarding broken

2001-03-11 Thread Stefan van der Eijk

 The correct way to disable X forwarding is to use the ssh config files (or
 the -x / -X options).  The /etc/skel/.bashrc line mentioned above is just
 a bug in 7.2, which I understand has now been fixed.
Hmmm... I still see it on my cooker system --  I had to comment out the
"export Xauthority"...

Peter,

 If "export XAUTHORITY=$HOME/.Xauthority" is commented, you won't be able
 to run Moorhuhn, for example, or any program like fwin (Win4Lin
 fullscreen), that uses another display, accessed by F8.
OK... can't this be fixed within fwin? Maybe make a wrapper for the app
so these things get set when it's running?

I don't think it's right that one app can demand such changes to be
made, which break general functionality -- make the distro incompatible
(in my opinion).

[Cooker] Mdk-8.0Beta Install Report (10/03/2001)

2001-03-11 Thread Sekko

Hi all,
I've tried yesterday to install the latest beta version, after mirroring from 
ftp.ciril.ir. So, an "hd-install".
Installation would be perfect except that

1. Trying to install "/" onto a SOFTWARE-RAID-1 partition, just saying "ok" 
to DiskDrake, I'm prompted with "An error occurred: unknown device (md0)". I 
tried to build the raid after installation and it's ok, so I guess it's an 
installer's problem not a kernel problem...

For the rest, during installation, it is all very nice and functional.
I had some troubles using the beta anyway

2. Fonts in KDE are broken (qt-2.3 problems?)

3. Cdrecord is OK, but simple user cannot use xcdroast, even adding his login 
name in cdwiters group and chowning root.cdwriters the xcdroast binari:

[claudio@localhost claudio]$ /usr/bin/xcdroast
 
** WARNING **: X-CD-Roast does not seem to have the correct permissions set
 
** WARNING **: So do as root something like that: (and read the Manual)
 chown root:cdwrite /usr/bin/xcdroast; chmod 2755 /usr/bin/xcdroast

4. Please **DO NOT** use supermount by default!!!

5. Trying "df" as as user, it need 30 seconds because it searches even for 
floppy and/or cdrom that are EMPTY! (maybe a related supermount problem...)

6. The new lilo is wonderful, but I cannot see the way to pass him any 
command line like "linux init 1" during the bootup stage!

7. gcombust should require cdlabelgen to be completely functional...

8. I use 2 (TWO) hard disk for my raid, and I have two swap partitions. 
Installer should detect both of them and add them in fstab, possibly with 
"pri=1" option if raid system is detected... but it's just a dream of mine og 
course  :~)

AND NOW... POSITIVE REMARKS!

1. ppp if perfectly working. Maybe an impression but the new kernel is a 
miracle!

2 kvirc correctly works... strange, it's usually the last application that I 
can use!  ;-P

3. The hd's speed is something never seen!!!
[root@localhost RPMS]# hdparm -tT /dev/md0
/dev/md0:
 Timing buffer-cache reads:   128 MB in  0.84 seconds =152.38 MB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  64 MB in  2.04 seconds = 31.37 MB/sec

4. Nautilus is wonderfu  ;o)

5. Evolutions is GREAT... it will change M$Outlook in a stupid game ;P

Thanks for the great job you're making,
Claudio

rsync_exclude says:

remember that wildcard ? means accept any SINGLE character.

rsync_exclude was designed against Mandrake 7.2, where it works
correctly.   IOW 7.2 for an English installation does not use or need
any locales files except locales-en-*.   Remember that 7.2 is still
the current release.  I am proceeding under the assumption that
Cooker (Mandrake 8.0) will work the same way.   IOW, if the installer
is calling for any other locales files (yes, which it does today)
that is an installer error for Pixel to fix.

I have reported this error on two occasions now, but nothing has

In any case just pressing OK will cause the install of the indicated

Altough it worked perfectly before, this time it failed for needed

from db3 package. So i recompiled it for 7.2, as current cooker version is
glibc-2.2 build. But installation failed for conflict with glibc-2.1

Any suggestion ? install with --nodeps ? symlink to older lbdb lib ?

for info we are not doing like Suse, you can find config file in the

 I tried yesterday to install current kernel-source package from cooker on a
 7.2.
 Altough it worked perfectly before, this time it failed for needed
 dependancy to libdb-3.1. According to another cooker box, this lib is part
 from db3 package. So i recompiled it for 7.2, as current cooker version is
 glibc-2.2 build. But installation failed for conflict with glibc-2.1
 package...
 Any suggestion ? install with --nodeps ? symlink to older lbdb lib ?

i'm going to fix this soon.. this dependencies on db is cumbersome, i'm
going to workaround it...

Okay, I just got very freigthened.  For some reason, grub failed to boot all
of a sudden.  Maybe it was because I updated grub or whatnot, I have no
idea.  I ended up installing cooker firewall so that I could run grub again. 
This all worked well.

Now, this is somewhat, erhm, complicated.  To fix this, I would like to
create a boot disk.

But how?  I tried mkbootdisk --device /dev/fd0u1743, because on a plain
1440k disk, vmlinuz and initrd won't fit.  That's bad.  Is this really the
only way to make a bootdisk?

[Cooker] Power off problems in current 2.4 kernel

2001-03-11 Thread Andrej Borsenkow

I have weird problem that started recently. I have ASUS CUSL2 motherboard,
i815e, BIOS 1006.A (and 1006 before). When I power down in Linux with
'init 0', it appears as if system is switched off. But just moving the
mouse powers the system up again! (Yesterday my daughter was really
frightened when system suddenly started to boot just because she
accidentally touched the mouse).

The system is configured for power up on keyboard or mouse, but it never
did it just on mouse move - you had to press mouse button.

It does not happen when I power down with Windows, so I suspect Linux
problem. The BIOS supports ACPI, I use default kernel without ACPI support
(I believe). I run the latest APM daemon if it matters. It happens
currently in 2.4.2-9mdk, happened in -7mdk as well. In one of older releases
I could not power off at all.

Anybody has seen something similar? It's becoming pretty annoying as I
have to boot into Windows to just switch system off ...

Re: [Cooker] Workable fix for fonts under QT 2.3

2001-03-11 Thread Rob Snow

As Arnd reports, it appears that you can either have AA'ed font or
_old_style_ fonts under QT 2.3.

Further, it would appear that when using AA'ed fonts you need to define them
with a XftConfig file or you will only get _FIXED_.

So if we are to effectively use QT 2.3 in a workable manner, someone will
need to make a nice XftConfig  and probably change DrakFont to understand
how to generate a XftConfig files.

My suggestion would be to build QT 2.3 with standard fonts and include a
second on one the distrubition that supports AA.

 So what changed all of a sudden in Qt to break the fonts? Seems like I

 really select something different.

This is really odd since I don't even since this font on my list.  I'm using 
the XftConfig file that comes with XFree86, and then I grabbed Keith 
Packard's truetype font package, put that in the truetype directory (which is 
referenced by the XftConfig file) and I've got a pretty decent display.

 I have not yet tried to browse with konqueror ... BTW WRF is this Abadi?

Konqueror browsing has definitely improved.

 Never heard about it.

 I added Windows (drakfont) directory to XftConfig. It should be the same
 as installed fonts mentioned in this thread. 

I tried it too, but it is *NOT* the same.  Get Keith's package and use it.  
Whatever is special in there is what makes it work.  I'm guessing it might be 
the XftConfig file in his package directory but I'm not sure.

 P.S. Now I understand why this AA qt2 patch was put on hold :-) I wonder
 if it was ever tested before releasing ...

This is Cooker - expect issues like this!  Who do you think is doing the

With the additional font package and a little bit of personal font selection,

chosen the expert install.  The misuse of hdparm can screw up things
bad, too.

[Cooker] httpd-perl startup errors

2001-03-11 Thread Digital Wokan

I've been getting the following error several times in a row since
reinstalling Cooker (after my little 2.4.2-8 fiasco).

Can't locate object method "new" via package
"HTML::Mason::ApacheHandler" at
/etc/httpd//conf/addon-modules/mason_handler.pl line 19

I've been watching for some kind of perl related updates in my fmirrors
of Cooker, but haven't seen any, so I'm assuming nobody else has run
into this problem.  I haven't even touched anything apache oriented
since the reinstall.  I did instal HTML-Mason-0.895-1mdk during the
install, probably as some dependancy to another RPM.

Re: [Prana pranalukas@gmx.de] [Cooker] Is this true rtl8139 vs 8139too ??

 Subject: [Cooker] Is this true rtl8139 vs 8139too ??

 I've been asking myself why there's this thing called "8139too" .. Why
 is there such double?? That's kind funny, not to mention that 8139too is
 kinda slow in my HP EN1207d-TX 10/100
 
 Is this argument true that 8139too changes are pointless and flawed? Can
 anybody confirm this please -
 http://www.scyld.com/network/rtl8139.html#8139too

In my humble opinion, they are not flawed :)

There are several people for which rtl8139 does not work at all, and
this driver includes workarounds and fixes for that.  There is both an
SMP race in the Tx routine (reported to Donald Becker several times), a
bug fix for when Tx errors occur (reported to Becker), and additional Rx
handling that users report is needed.  In addition, using MMIO is faster
for many newer computers, even with the additional read after each
write.

Stay away from those cheap cards alltogether and get intel or 3com - I have 
stopped using realtek based cards in my machines, I orginally started with 7 
machines with realtek nics in them, over the last year when one went bad I 
would replace it with 3com or intel, I have 1 machine running a realtek card 
now. Just the day before yesterday I had to replace my kids realtek nic, and 
2 weeks ago my wifes.

[Cooker] 2.4.2-10 - install

2001-03-11 Thread guran

Hi

VERSION (rsync sunsite.no)
Linux-Mandrake Cooker-i586 20010311 23:30 
/ChangeLog/1.451/Fri Mar  9 02:21:48 2001//

Installation went nice and so did sndconfig.

When I did an updatedb I got

Attached scsi CD-ROM Sr0 at scsi1, channel0, id0, lun0
Sr0: scsi3-mmc drive: 32x/32x writer cd/rw xa/form2 cdda tray
fatfs: bogus cluster size
VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS  filesystem on dev 02:00

OBS! I had opted for vfs not to be started at boot.

There are a lot of faults reported in install.log - shall these be reported?

 You do not want JFS yet. Even the developers say it is not ready for

If they bring JFS up to the same level as it is on AIX I'll take it.  As

The latest version of aic7xxx from Justin Gibbs does not rebuild the sequecer

default.
There are patches for 2.4.2-dont-remember-what at people.freebsd.net.

[Cooker] Workable fix for fonts under QT 2.3

Where/Where is this package that you speak of by Keith?

 Please watch your attritions - I did not write that but wrote a response to
 it.

  It is even worse. Look in konqueror - all fonts are reset to "Abadi MT
  condensed Light". Both proprtional and fixed width! At least, here I can
  really select something different.

 This is really odd since I don't even since this font on my list.  I'm
 using the XftConfig file that comes with XFree86, and then I grabbed Keith
 Packard's truetype font package, put that in the truetype directory (which
 is referenced by the XftConfig file) and I've got a pretty decent display.

  I have not yet tried to browse with konqueror ... BTW WRF is this Abadi?

 Konqueror browsing has definitely improved.

  Never heard about it.
 
  I added Windows (drakfont) directory to XftConfig. It should be the same
  as installed fonts mentioned in this thread.

 I tried it too, but it is *NOT* the same.  Get Keith's package and use it.
 Whatever is special in there is what makes it work.  I'm guessing it might
 be the XftConfig file in his package directory but I'm not sure.

  P.S. Now I understand why this AA qt2 patch was put on hold :-) I wonder
  if it was ever tested before releasing ...

 This is Cooker - expect issues like this!  Who do you think is doing the
 testing?

 With the additional font package and a little bit of personal font
 selection, it's definitely usable and overall looks pretty good.

Hardly, since those two files are part of the installer - they must
