[Cooker] Security Issue in Default Apache Configuration
Security Issue in Default Appache Configuration; Good Day Guys! There is currently a bug in the default security settings for apache as shipped w/ 9.2 which allow a user to proxy information through the webserver, without any form of authentication. See exert of exploit below. I'm wondering how I can easily modify my httpd.conf file to remove this feature? I'm afraid I really don't understand what mode/module has been loaded to allow it to do this. Nelson $ telnet nkacedsl.gta.igs.net 80 Trying 216.58.89.253... Connected to nkacedsl.gta.igs.net.

[Cooker] ldconfig package on hd install
Heyo, Not sure if this issue has been addressed, however over the last 2 days I have been attempting to perform an HD install of cooker, with little success. It appears that every time the installer is fired up, and commences package instalation it errors on ldconfig-2.3.2-3mdk.i586.rpm, and according to the text screens in the installer it just returns bad package. Now the wierd thing is I can install a 9.1 install, then install that same package into the 9.1 w/o any troubles what soever. Has anyone else noticed this issue? I have delete the file twice, resync'd from sunet.se, however I cannot complete an install without this package. Thanks, -- Nelson Bartley [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Ok. I think I will try not to send any email that does not contains a
comments. This is likely to remove all the status change only or think like
that.
But I may still send mail when the bug is marked as RESOLVED ?
That sounds just about right, sending an email to the list at first
saying there is a new bug, then having a mail on completion. That would
probably be a very good solution indeed.

I understand you position warly on the use of bugzilla, I've had to use similar (though far simpler) troublshooting tools during beta periods for our OC48 Packet Over Sonet Cards we were designing at Nortel. The idea though was to ensure that, as Ben said, the people who need the information get it. If I'm troubleshooting a problem, which is largely unlikely as I'm no expert, I only need to be concerned with the problem. If I'm ready to solve a new one, I need to be able to see what's currently out there to solve, and pick it up. The big thing is I don't need to see that someone made a bugzilla entry status change. If an individual is interested in following the various bugzilla issues then they should follow it at bugzilla and not through an email list. I don't want to see bugzilla go at this point, as apparently it is being used, however there must be a better atlernative then how it is currently being handled. The final note is this. You, Warly et Mandrakesoft, are in charge of this list. Though I appreciate that our concerns (eg the community ) are being listend to, in the end you make the policy, not us.

Re: [Cooker] Bugzilla posts absolutely nescessary?
See I'm all for having a seperation of bugzilla and cooker lists, only because there are interesting cooker discussions that occur, however I do not care to see all the little status updates for every bugzilla entry.

[Cooker] Bugzilla posts absolutely nescessary?
Hi Guys, I'm not sure if this has been brought up before but I'm going to ask. Is it absolutely necessary to have all bugzilla updates sent to the cooker list? The reason I ask is I currently keep a local copy of all messages I've received on the cooker list for at least the last year (I had almost 2 years stored until a stray delete command went ary) Currently I greatly look forward to reading the cooker list, however with all of these bugzilla reports ending up there I'm finding cooker to be filled more with bugzilla then with questions and problems of cooker users. If this policy isn't about to change, please let me know so I can discontinue my subscription. At this rate I'm better off just checking bugzilla every few days to see what's going on. It will save on my bandwidth. Thank You, Nelson Bartley Cooker lurker since 7.2 -- Nelson Bartley [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Cooker] *serious* memory leakage with evo 1.2.0 - anyone else?
Interesting. I leave my Evo open all the time, and have never noticed this issue. Currently all of my evolution processes combined are taking about 44MB of memory, which I don't find to horrible, however it is a little high. If you want for comparison I've got 20621 messages in cooker folder, ~17000 in newb, and another 2 or so spread around a few different folders. Now I've got about 512MB of memory in the system, and it's hardly ancient, but yes, I've had to kill oaf-slay a few times before (though system never hung/died) Gizmo On Sat, 2002-11-23 at 14:58, Adam Williamson wrote: I mentioned this to fcrozat and he said he'd noticed it himself and I could post to the list and see if anyone else had the same problem, so here we go.

If I start it up and wait a while (15-30 mins), or even start it and quit and wait the same amount of time (to keep this from happening I have to quit *then* run killev and oaf-slay straight away), I find evo-related processes eat up huge chunks of resources and reduce my PC to a complete crawl - the mouse pointer jerks as it moves, everything is unusable. Only way to restore sanity is to switch to a virtual console - and it takes a couple of minutes to respond to ctrl-alt-F1 - and run killev then oaf-slay (sometimes more than once), and everything gets back to normal. Is anyone getting a similar problem? I do have a *huge* amount of email in Evo (over 12,000 messages in the Cooker folder), so that could be related. Just wondered if anyone else is getting this.

[Cooker] Apache issues (1.3.26)

I've moved the /var/www directory to my development partition, changed all references of /var/www/html to my directory, and it appears to work fine. My issue arises when I attempt to load on postnuke for my development purposes. I can setup, using their install script, the database and config files, however when I attempt to view the site I'm presented w/ the following message: Fatal error: Call to undefined function: session_set_save_handler() in /share/www/includes/pnSession.php on line 107 Now I've never encountered this error before, and I used to run postnuke on my 1.3.23 server so I'm somewhat at a loss as to why this isn't working.

[Cooker] libpanel compatibility
Heyo Just a quick note, as everything is moving over to gnome 2 I understand quite a few things will be broken, however is there anyway to maintain backwards compatibility to the libpanel_applet.so.0 file, as the package which contained this file no longer exists in cooker, however quite a few files (gnomeicu for instance) require this library? Could a compat lib rpm be created until all the rpms can be updated to gnome 2? or rather could the old rpm (libpanel_applet0-1.4.0.6-12mdk.i586.rpm) be restored to cooker to prevent library dependency issues?

Secondly, several packages are missing from cooker but are picked for install. (I unfortunately did not write these down as I was trying to restore my system). 3. I selected to have my computer boot in init 5, however when it boots up, it begins to go into init 5, the stops, returns to a login prompt, and switches itself to mode 3, however when I log into the command line, I can startx just fine. The really strange part is before it switches to mode 3, it has not loaded ANY services. once it switches over to mode 3 it loads eth0, webmin, etc... 4. Evolution: Unknow what's up with this, however I coppied over my old saved evolution directory over the new installs evolution directory. Every previous time I've done this, it has restored all my settings, and filters, however when I downloaded my e-mail it did not sort it, I had to recreate all filters (though the old ones were still there, just not working) to filter my messages.

E.g. in the /tmp : .. user1 user1 .sawfish-user1 $ chown user2:user2 .sawfish-user1 then login as user1 with Session type Gnome with Sawfish WM. Other similar problem is the /tmp/.esd.

Re: [Cooker] Gnome Control Center/Sawfish config
I start Gnome through the GDM. My system is set to start X (init 5). The system was a Cooker 12/24/01 install, and I upated all packages to current cooker on 01/19/02 (through commandline URPMI). I then proceeded to log in and start using the OS. Attached is the file you requested. I hope this helps.

[Cooker] i586 vs i686
Is there a practical difference? Would it be worth it to recompile certain key parts of the OS under my i686 from the src.rpms or just use the i586 ones. (And I'm not concerned about processing power to compile these... I've got enough.) NB [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Cooker] Remove /usr/local !
Heyo, With the incredable amount of customization of the Mandrake setup, why not remove the /usr/local directory from actual existance, and make is a sim link to /usr. This has solved SO MANY of my problems when compiling software and installing other software which is not packaged for Mandrake. I think this would help out not only silly people like me (who didn't realize that the /usr/local/ directory structure is a great place for files to be put be stupid ./configure scripts) and newbies who don't even know what that directory is for.. (seems to strike a cord there too). Just for my personal reference, what's the point of having the /usr/local directory in the current Mandrake setup anyways? NB

[Cooker] Kernel-2.4.16.4mdk-1-1mdk
Hi Guys, I ran into a small problem with the recent kernel. It wasn't loading modules properly, as it requirs to seperate module directories: 2.4.164mdk and 2.4.16.4mdk It installs w/ the .4mdk directory, however quite a few startup kernel level things like modprob are pointing to the 164mdk directory. AM I the only one who has experienced this, or has this been shown elsewhere? Nelson Bartley, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: [Cooker] Kernel-2.4.16.4mdk-1-1mdk
well here was my fix, go into /lib/modules, and copy the 2.4.16-4mdk folder to 2.4.164mdk.
