[Cooker-firewall] upgrade
i have just tried to upgrade my s(m)nf from the current cooker tree, it failed saying there wasn't enough space, how big do partitions have to be to upgrade, i have two 520mb hard disks, one of which is /usr, i only have snf-en installed fron the 8.2 distro bascule -- 'Detectoring is like gambling,' said Vimes, putting down the clove.

Re: [Cooker-firewall] SNF in lm 9.0
hi, my point is that the 8.2 release of lm does not come with the version of mnf that will be in the iso, right? the iso version is later than that surely, even if it is based on 8.2? so i was wondering whether the mnf packages in lm9.0 will be the same as the iso or later, i intend to buy a mandrake product, if the 9.0 comes with an uptodate, stable mnf i will get that and install it the harder way, and have the latest lm, but if the iso mnf will be more reliable then i will get that instead, i 'm not sure to what extent the smallest possible install of 9.0 would differ from 8.2 except in package versions, if mnf will not be in the 9.0 tree upon release then i will have to archive a recent cooker set while i decide whether to purchase the iso or not :-) bascule On Sunday 15 September 2002 11:32 pm, you wrote: will the snf in mandrake 9.0 - when it is finally released - be the same version as released in the iso version, and will it still be called snf? (given that s stands for 'single') Huh ? The ISO of the MNF (Multiple) is based on a Mandrake 8.2. The MNF packages are in Cooker, not in the 9.0 tree (AFAIK)... SNF = 7.2 only MNF = new version (official ISO = 8.2, custom install = 9.0, Cooker, 8.2...)

[Cooker-firewall] documentation
i managed to install the mnf in cooker today but somehow avoided installing any docs, there are no man pages, 'urpmq doc' gives lots of doc packages, i've installed mandrake_doc-en, what else should have gone with an mnf install? i did the minimal install possible due to space considerations, added urpmi after rebooting and then urpmi'd snf-en thanks to Amaury for the howto, i really needed it! bascule -- But of course there were the rules. Everyone knew there were rules. They just had to hope like Hell that the gods knew the rules, too. (Guards! Guards!)

If it was then all the distros would already be doing it and the Immunix patches would have been merged into the mainline gcc. tell me of the latest 100 security linux advisors for daemons having buffer overruns the possibility to obtain a remote shell (or root shell) and how many of them would have been blocked (with a DOS for instance) if the daemon have had libsafe active or was compiled with stackguard enabled. If we had based our security to what other distros do, then we wouldn't have had any msec, libsafe, kernel-secure, etc. and all our security tools would have been tcp_wrappers... Bye. Giuseppe.

I didn't say they weren't dangerous I just said they weren't as prevalent. And nimda/code red are both NT worms. I'll note that I was getting tons of nimda attempts when it first become well known on the net. The latest Linux worm has elicited may a few dozen possible (can't say for sure because of the way it attempts to do it) attempts since it showed up on slashdot. Comparing the threat of a NT based worm to a Linux based worm is specious at best. I believe the Linux community is far better suited to respond to threats. How many email worms has Windows had? How long did it take Microsoft to get fixes that reliably stopped the propagation of these worms? How long does it take the Linux community to respond to similar threats. You do the math. when updates doesn't cause you to reconfigure your daemons... ;-) Very rarely have we had to put out an update that requires reconfiguration. We almost always patch to fix security issues. So that's a really lame response. I can think of only one case that warranted that type of upgrade and that was an Apache upgrade because we moved everyone to using the new style configuration setup (commonhttpd.conf et al). tell me of the latest 100 security linux advisors for daemons having buffer overruns the possibility to obtain a remote shell (or root shell) and how many of them would have been blocked (with a DOS for instance) if the daemon have had libsafe active or was compiled with stackguard enabled. What you're not taking in consideration here is the potential real problems Mandrake would have in implementing stackguard. Compiling everything in the distro with it wouldn't probably be an option because I'm positive there are at least a few things that it wouldn't work right with. Making it an option to use isn't exactly an easy thing to do because it's a compile time option. Not a run time option. Mandrake is already limited on space for new RPMS Where are we going to find the MB if not GB's to put the duplicated RPMS? If we had based our security to what other distros do, then we wouldn't have had any msec, libsafe, kernel-secure, etc. and all our security tools would have been tcp_wrappers... You're certainly not the only distro shipping libsafe or secured kernels. And the stackguard patch to gcc isn't exactly new it's been around for years. There has to be a reason why other distros haven't adopted it. Or for that matter why Mandrake hasn't adopted it. However the last fear I have about implementing it is that it will make the very thing worse that you claim is a reason for implementing it. Patches are necessary with or without stackguard. As I've seen happen time and time again firewalls became an excuse for poorly implemented security. It's not that firewalls don't have a place in a security regime. It's that many of the newbie type admins you are targeting your issues to will think that's all they have to do. So indeed I fear that applying a bandaide (stackguard) and then the ensuing PR/marketing that will surround it will create a false sense of security. And will in fact make the problem worse. In the end between the difficulty in implementing this change and the problems with the attitudes it might create I tend to think it wouldn't benefit us in the long run. I could be wrong. But that's my opinion. At any rate though you didn't answer my question. *WHY* have other distros ignored this. It's not like it's something nobody has known about (it's been on slashdot at least once). There has to be a reason for it. Even if it is the attitude fear that I have about it. We certainly should take advantage of analysis that other distros have made of the technology in determining if we should implement it.

[Cooker] Total freeze during install . . .
I have a Compaq Armada M700 notebook which I have successfully installed Cooker at least 15 times on in the past 3 months. The last few kernel updates have introduced some instability and lock-ups on this notebook. After a period of being up, the system hard freezes and has to be manually rebooted. I just attempted a fresh install this morning - and it froze up during the package install section (on libhermes1 package) - Total lockup, not keyboard - no disk activity - nothing, nada, zip! I suspect something is broke in the latest kernel but can't confirm this. Anyone? Thx, R.Fox

The last message that is echoed to the syslog consol is: kernel: (scsi0:A:0:0): Locking max tag count at 64 after that the machine is dead. No ping, but keyboard works enough for Alt-SysRq stuff. Only problem is Alt-SysRq keys won't work. :( syncing the disk results in the machine trying (It starts to sync the disk) but will never finish, there is no HD activity. Then the keyboard will not respond anymore. Trying to get a process list, or memory stats will finish off the lock also. (as in it will become so useless that reset button is only thing working). If my first sysrq key is to reboot it will. I ran memtest yesterday and all memory is ok. Mandrake 8.1 has no problems on this machine. Heavy disk activity triggers the lock, like installing an RPM. :) It will always hard lock when installing the FlashPlayer-5.0-8mdk RPM. any suggestions? or specific sysrq keys you'd like me to try in locked up state? (there is no oops or anything like that on the consol window) I have a dual-1GHz PIII Coppermine system with 2GB on a Supermicro Serverworks board and Adaptec 3200S that has this exact problem. Only with highmem/kernel-enterprise after 2.4.8. RPM will kill the box exactly as you've described. I've had to retrograde the box and stay away from current kernels. I reported a bug some days earlier about problems with the enterprise kernel, but not the same scsi driver(mine is sym53c8xx) And as I said this did'nt happen with the old 2.4.5 kernel(from mdk-cooker) it was running for almost a year, but now it's had a mem upgrade and is running the kernel-enterprise kernel, and we've experienced lockups with 2.4.18 and 2.4.19. But this does'nt happen when using rpm, and the machine is alive, responding to ping etc. but could'nt read from the disks, and happens under high load(not very high, just compiling something could trigger it ), at first I thought it was a gcc-3.2 issue, but when trying with kernel-enterprise-2.4.18.6mdk-1-1mdk this also happened, so I'll guess this might be related

Till - I've intensively reviewed the bug report (http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~narfi/9.0RC3failure/report.bug.gz), it seems that right after the printer configuration, the install stops gpm, portmap, and rwho services then tries to create an initrd. By any chance, do you know where it may come from? I tried to review the installer code but couldn't find who is actually stopping these services and who calls mkinitrd... As a workaround we will modprobe loop right after format-mount'ing so that if it happens again, the install might be able to not fail miserably but it's just an horrible temporary hack. Also, it seems that the bttv configuration made an use standalone during install which is forbidden and dangerous - titi agreed to remove it for now, so it should maybe fix a few other side-effect problems. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/

(There is no documentaion on saslauthd switches. :-( My conclusion is that whoever packaged the postfix? rpm knows I'm the packager for Postfix but only because we have not enough good server maintainers; unfortunately I know too little in Postfix to be a good maintainer for it :-(.. enough about what changed to remove /etc/pam.d/smtp and rename /usr/lib/smtpd.conf to smtpd.conf.rpmsave. Why do this? I think Well if it has been rename that way, it's because it's tagged as %config in the rpm file (but which one?

RE: [Cooker] Postfix + SASL problem
I created /usr/lib/sasl/smtpd.conf when I set up Postfix + SASL on my LM 8.2 system accourding to how-to's. I think it should be in the postfix installation as well as /etc/pam.d/smtp. It will not hurt anyone who is not using SASL auth.

My smtpd.conf says to use pam. I've tried so many combinations. I had thought I tried this and it failed. Maybe I forgot to do a postfix reload or maybe I didn't have the smtp file in /etc/pam.d . Any way, I am happy that I got it working and will get glad when someone figures out how to get smtpd to auth through saslauthd. Until then I'll have to leave: [root@elmo shorewall]# ls -l /etc/shadow -r--r-1 root postfix 1888 Sep 11 14:52 /etc/shadow so smtpd can access shadow.

I ran across an idea from a forum on the net and put garbage in smtpd.conf and postfix/smtpd complains. That says smtpd is reading the file and permissions are ok. SASL apparently doesn't use what's there. I've tried it with pwcheck_method: pam, pwcheck_method: saslauthd, and pwcheck_method: sasldb. I still get: SASL LOGIN authentication failed. I copied an /etc/pam.d/smtp file from a friend's 8.1/8.2 system I helped set up, mine was removed when I upgraded, and no joy. I started saslauthd -pam -T -d (debug mode) and it gave no messages. (There is no documentaion on saslauthd switches. :-( My conclusion is that whoever packaged the postfix? rpm knows I'm the packager for Postfix but only because we have not enough good server maintainers; unfortunately I know too little in Postfix to be a good maintainer for it :-(.. enough about what changed to remove /etc/pam.d/smtp and rename /usr/lib/smtpd.conf to smtpd.conf.rpmsave. Why do this? I think Well if it has been rename that way, it's because it's tagged as %config in the rpm file (but which one? I couldn't find the rpm package owner for this file..). it's supposed to authenticate through saslauthd now, but it doesn't for some reason. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
[Cooker] Small annoyances in RC3
These are not really bugs...more left out than bugs really. 1. I had posted back in Beta4 days about a supported network card not showing in list of available cards and it is still missing. Details are as follows: Card: Asound ALM02 (Myson 803 chipset) Supported: YES (Since Mandrake 8.0) Driver: fealnx.o.gz Problem: When in network config (Netconf or Network Wizard in Mandrake Control) you have a drop down list to select your network card. This card is NOT listed even though the driver has been in Mandrake since I worked with Jeff Garzik back in Mandrake 8.0 days to get it 2.4 compatible. 2. When in install I select DEVELOPMENT option (recommended install not expert). The install goes fine. When I log into Mandrake/KDE I begin to compile needed stuff (NVIDIA drivers for GeForce2 MX 400) and I get complaint...No Kernel headers installed!!! How can you install development packages with no headers?? In fact after some checking seems KDevelop or other development packages are missing as well! The only tools listed under KDE Menu/Development/Environments is IDLE (The Python shell). I would think if a user checks Development packages in install that more than this should be installed. Still, if these are the only things I have to worry about in this magnificent Distro...I am OK with that. You guys have done a bang up job and I am glad to be using Mandrake 9.0 as I have been glad to use Mandrake 7.0, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1 and 8.2! They have all been good and getting better all the time. Keep up the great work Team Mandrake! David
[Cooker] RC3: USB FlashRAM mount problem
Boot of upgrade to RC3 (with devfs=nomount) gave this error on the screen: /etc/init.d/usb: line 1: expr: command not found Then a manual mount gave this error: mount /dev/sdb1 is not a valid block device. A restart of the usb script gave this output: Initialize USB controller (usb-uhci) Mount USB filesystem Then I discovered an update to initscripts-6.91-10 in the cooker. After an update to initscript-6.91-10 the boot seemed OK, but the manual mount gave this error: mount: No medium found A restart of the usb script gave this message: Initialize USB controller (usb-uhci) BUT no mentioning of the mount of the USB filesystem. A manual mount still gave this error: mount: No medium found. So, I can no longer mount my USB JetFlash drive. -- Bjarne

Re: [Cooker] Connection Sharing and Shorewall
Robert,
If this is really broken again, then this is extremely
bad.
Can you pls. follow the earlier instruction of
Florin..
1. configure your internet connection with drakconnect
2. configure your internet access with drakconnect
3. configure your security AND internet sharing
4. try if it works
5. grep -v ^#
/etc/shorewall/{zones,interfaces,policy,masq,rules}
|grep -v ^$
and send the output here...
it has crossed midnight 12:00 already here... need to
goto work tomorrow.. bye..

And furthermore I repeat, in most cases there aren't ANY sysadmin who worries about upgrades. It exists it just hasn't been kept up to date with the current gcc... Which I have to wonder why? Which patch are you talking for? I wasn't talking about StackGuard patch. I was talking of an application/daemon for which could exists a known buffer overrun but not a patch (or the patch has not yet been packaged). What to do in this case? Turn off the machine or the services or hope not being attacked? I didn't say they What you're not taking in consideration here is the potential real problems Mandrake would have in implementing stackguard. Compiling everything in the distro with it wouldn't probably be an option because I'm positive there are at least a few things that it wouldn't work right with. Making it an option to use isn't exactly an easy thing to do because it's a compile time option. Not a run time option. Mandrake is already limited on space for new RPMS Where are we going to find the MB if not GB's to put the duplicated RPMS? I'm not saying compiling everything, which IMHO is too much, because for instance there are application where speed is of main importance (e.g. I wouldn't like have the XFree or OpenGL SG enabled, or for instance scientific application like Octave, etc.), but ONLY the MAIN network daemons, and as an option. I.e. when you install them, the installer could ask you: would you like to install stackguarded version of networked daemons?. You answer yes, they are installed, you answer no, the standard RPMs (i.e. like the current ones) are installed. How much space could take? 30-40 MBs of duplicated RPMs? Furthermore it's not said it should be in the CDs. Could be an option and the SG daemons could be downloaded from the net, as in the past was done with crypto things. I don't see any difference in doing this and in what currently could be obtained having libsafe enabled (you can disable libsafe - you can install regular unstackguarded daemons). If we had based our security to what other distros do, then we wouldn't have had any msec, libsafe, kernel-secure, etc. and all our security tools would have been tcp_wrappers... You're certainly not the only distro shipping libsafe or secured kernels. And the stackguard patch to gcc isn't exactly new it's been around for years. There has to be a reason why other distros haven't adopted it. Or for that matter why Mandrake hasn't adopted it. probably mainly for speed (since we take also a 1-5% gain of speed in consideration, otherwise we wouldn't have had -O3 in %optflags) and because it's not supported on recent [recents means gcc 2.9X at least] compilers (latest SG is of two years ago). However the last fear I have about implementing it is that it will make the very thing worse that you claim is a reason for implementing it. Patches are necessary with or without stackguard. As I've seen happen Nobody said that with stackguard enabled you'll don't need regular patches: A HUGE BANNER SHOULD SAY IT when you install. It's like saying that since you use the safety belts, you can drove safe everywhere at 250 Kph ala Schumacher. But on the other hand it's better to use safety belts that don't use them at all. On the other hand since you'll probably get a DOS, you have to update anyway. time and time again firewalls became an excuse for poorly implemented security. It's not that firewalls don't have a place in a security regime. It's that many of the newbie type admins you are targeting your issues to will think that's all they have to do. So indeed I fear No it's targetted to those not doing updates anyway, either because they can't (because the machine could not go down even for 1 second, or because they don't know a bug exists:), either because they don't want. Yes, you could say You don't upgrade! Your fault, be exploited!!!. that applying a bandaide (stackguard) and then the ensuing PR/marketing that will surround it will create a false sense of security. And will in fact make the problem worse. This seems the old Linus sentence: since the security is not total, better to not use any kind of these schemes and use as only security the relying on regular updates. A false sense of security is meaningless: or it protect against a reasonable class of attacks [demonstrated by trying/attempts] (maybe combined together with other protection artifact: kernel, libsafe, etc.) or even a kid can easily defeace it, and in this case is not a protection. In the end between the difficulty in implementing this change and the problems with the attitudes it might create I tend to think it wouldn't benefit us in the long run. I could be wrong.

[Cooker] 9.0rc2 : crash of XFree with OpenOffice
I have a fully reproducible crash of X11 : The bug seems to be in the mga driver : - Take a PC with a matrox g450 - configure the X server in 16 bits, 1280x1024 (I have joined my XF86Config-4 in logfiles.tar.gz) - open the file LdMBUG2.doc with OpenOffice -- X crashes --- I have done several tests : 1) I have reproduced it with: mandrake 9.0rc2 and 8.2; with StarOffice6.0 and OpenOffice1.0.1 2) did also occur once in 24bits 3) seems to occur only on matrox cards 4) I could not reproduce it on Redhat7.3 (on another PC with g450) 5) does not occur with Kword 6) I could reproduce it only with the joined document (LdMBUG2.doc) 7) does not occur with the same document saved in openoffice format --- In my opinion, this is the combination of a) a bug in mga_drv.o b) a bad font --- Please tell if someone can reproduce it. I have joined, in files.tar.gz : The file that causes the crash (LdMBUG2.doc) The config of XFree86 (XF86Config-4) The log file of XFree86 (XFree86.0.log) The result of lspci -v (lspci) regards Christophe Combelles files.tar.gz Description: application/gzip
