RE: [expert] Patch File problem

2001-02-10 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Nevermind my previous post about help for the patch problem.  I finally
figured it out and got it to compile this time around.  I will let you folks
knows the current status on this patch of the IDS to the 2.2.17 kernel
package later on today, after I complete the compliation and testing to
ensure it works without any problems.

Once done..then I will post the patch to Chmouel for him to merge into the
kernel tree for the 2.2.17 update with LIDS Addition.

[Cooker] Good News... LIDS Enhanced Mandrake Kernels Available

2001-02-10 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Good news folks.  I have finally patched and successfully complied and
installed the LIDS Enhanced Mandrake Kernel without removal of any patches
that currently exists.  I will be sending to kernel maintainer the patches
for the LIDS and the accompanying program with it so that he can incorporate
it into the 2.2.17 release and I will look into the 2.2.18 version as well,
provided he got available for 7.2 release.

Anyone intersted in 2.4.1 LIDS Version, let me know and I will look into it
and perhaps produce a new patch for it to be sent to the maintainer for use.

[Cooker] LIDS Patch into the Kernel?

2001-02-09 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher


Have anyone considered patching the Secure Kernel with the LIDS from
http://www.lids.org for Linux?  I am thinking of patching the secure kernel
files with that and then compile it to see if I can implement a new system
to contribute back to the Mandrake for it.

Dunno if we have released the 2.2.18 version yet, but I am looking into
patching the 2.2.17 version at this moment and try it from there to see how
it works and see if it is worth while addition and to make Mandrake stands
out from other distros by having it part of the standard features.

Don't get me wrong...it got wonderful stuff, but we need a good IDS system
in there and frankly... I cannot seems to find one that is good for host by
host basis, not network version.  Snort comes to mind, but I cannot afford
to setup a spare box to do the monitoring of all servers from remote box,
when I can do something about it on host basis.

[expert] Patch File problem

2001-02-09 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Okay...perhaps someone can assist me on this little problem.

I have this tulip.c file which I need to patch with a new patch file..but
it seems it just fails everytime, no matter how it matches.  So... anyone
can assist on this?  Here is the patch and the target area.  It also have a
problem with the 2 parts of the ide.c patch as well.  But everything else is
patched cleanly without any problems after fixing the patch to fit after the
whole set of patches that is setup with the kernel.

I also included the entire patch file which is to be intregrated into the

Mandrake, which I like to use.  If anyone can get those three areas fixed,
which it keep failing, then I appreciate it.

Chmouel Boudjnah, I have included the modified patch for the 2.2.17 tree
which you have made extensive changes and patches to it.  It all patches
cleanly except for three areas.  If you can check them out and see what to
be done to make it work, then let me know so I can continue on it and then
continue the LIDS intregration and perhaps submit back to you the final
version along with the LIDS setup.

[expert] FP broken with Apache 1.3.14-2mdk

2001-01-28 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

It seems that the FP module or the Apache itself is broken with the
Frontpage Module enabled.  Dunno why but I get this error message in the
error_log as follows:

So... after checking though the documentations and mailing lists.. it seems
that 1.3.14 version have completely broken it, but not the 1.3.12 version or
before that.  I also noticed that the perl tests have errors spitted out
when I tried the source version... which tells me that the 1.3.14 build is
really broken.  Have anyone found this same problem as well?

RE: [Cooker] REALLY need a nongui MandrakeUpdate

I agree with this.  That is what is mainly lacking.  It would be nice if
there is the apt-get tool version for RPM to use for the servers.
MandrakeUpdate is nice, but we really need the console based version,
instead of the GUI, with list of file watcher so that it knows where to
update when it become available.

Hope that someone considers this.

There is one place where Mandrake is REALLY suffering at trying to
gain acceptability into the enterprise.  A non-gui update tool.  Right
now, if I have a shop with 50 Linux servers, I am not going to log
into each server and run MandrakeUpdate.

You know what I AM going to do?  I am going to have cron run up2date
(RedHat's updater) in batch mode (on RedHat boxes in case that was not
obvious).

There are huge security reasons to load all of the shit that is needed
for MandrakeUpdate too.  I don't want X-windows and perl on my
secrurity gateways.  Way too many holes and tools for the Wiley
Cracker thanks.

How about a non-perl (and non-python for that matter -- be better than

[expert] Crontab Broken in 7.2?

2001-01-17 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Is the Crontab broken in the Mandrake 7.2?  For past few days after I
installed the new crontabs for one user and another as other, it simply do
not run at all.

Here is the entry that I set up in the crontab as follows:
Elik's Crontab:

25 13 17 * * tar -zcpf /home/elik/archives-backup/2798-Monthly-`date
'+%b'`.tar.gz /home/bt2798/2798/backups/`date '+b'`*

Bt2798's Crontab
22 13 * * * /bin/sh tar -zcpf /home/bt2798/backup/bt2798-`date
'+%b-%d-%a'`.tar.gz /home/bt2798/2798/data/

So..after few days of checking the directories... they do not have it.  I
tested the command as it is and it works nicely, but no under cron.  It
seems regular cron jobs that is placed in the /etc works fine, but nothing
for the crontab files.

[Cooker] Stealth Kernel Patch Feature Request

I been reading and noticed that there is the Stealth Kernel Patch feature
which would be a nice addition to the Mandrake Secure Kernel version.  The
information can be found at this url link as follows:
http://www.energymech.net/madcamel/fm/

I think this item would be a good addition to the distro for the security
feature, since I checked the source and noticed that we do not have that in

RE: [Cooker] YOU DID IT TO ME AGAIN!! FIX THE SENDMAIL PACKAGERIGHT NOW!!I c

2000-11-26 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Jeez Brian.

Why you have to be so upbeat on the Sendmail?  If you checked, Mandrake
preferred Postfix over the Sendmail for lot of reasons and used it as
default.  If you have problems with Sendmail, why not just compile a new one
for yourself and install it.  It is not that hard to do it anyway, since I
used Sendmail, Qmail and Postfix and I liked the Qmail and Postfix over
Sendmail anyday.

So just try and do that method and do it that way?  Or get the Source
RPM version of Sendmail and check the specs and fix it before having it
built and compiled.

That what most true administrators and linux gurus would do if the released
packaged RPM version is not 100% perfect.

[Cooker] Cold Fusion Installation on Mandrake 7.1 and 7.2

2000-10-23 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Hello all.

I am wondering if anyone have successfully installed the Coldfusion on
Linux which is apparently designed for Redhat 6.2 only?  For it look for
specific libraries to have it run properly, and frankly, I thought I solved
those problems by getting the specific libraries which is the egcs++ and
libstdc++ libarries from Redhat 6.2 files and it seems to stopped the
bitching of mis-match libraries linking, but it still refuses to run,
insteading giving me the lovely core dumps so far.

Frankly, I would love to run the Coldfusion on Mandrake, but there is just
no way that I am touching Redhat with the long stick even just to run the
ColdFusion.  Any help on this?

I tried to get it working on 7.0, 7.1 and 7.2 and no success yet.
Hopefully someone else can help, since it is needed.  Perhaps, we can
convince Allaire to release the binary releases for Mandrake and other
distros due to incompabilities between distros?

[Cooker] Quota File Missing

Heads up.  There is one file missing from the quota package which is the
quota binary.  It is in the quota package quota-1.70-3mdk.i586.rpm, which it
got all required files except for quota itself.

Mind get that missing file in it and update the 7.2 Beta with that update?

Reason is that I did major upgrade from 7.1 to 7.2 Beta on my production
Web Server and got everything working except for that missing little
snippet.

So..get that sucker in and let me know. :)

[expert] /USR Files underneath Wiped after Power Outage

2000-10-16 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Now I got a problem here, and I am wondering if anyone have experienced
something anything remote to this.  I have built the 7.1/7.2 Beta Server and
it been running for about 2 days, when we had a power outage.  So... when
the power came back on, and I rebooted the machine, I noticed that one
partition, the /usr seems to be wiped entirely.  Reason is that when it
started the init script bootup, it will spawn like crazy and stops there and
I have to boot into it as single user mode to see what the problem is wrong.

Anyone got this similiar problem here, since I got that kind of problem
with 7.1 back then on my workstation few times and I thought it is a freak
of nature.  But now...having seen the same thing on production server, it
make me wonders if there is seriously wrong with the distro or something
that I have in place.

replace the 1.3.12, which is now 1.3.14 which is released yesterday?  I do
not think it would take much time to have it ready for release into the RC
Version.

 Subject: [Cooker] Compliments on 7.2rc


 I just wanted to give my compliments on the beta.  It's becomming
 much more
 stable.  Get linuxconf fixed and I don't really see any reason it
 shouldn't be
 gold (except maybe to wait for KDE2 final).

 Also I thought I'd point out that my fresh install via the network has
 increased in speed 3 fold.  Used to talk an hour and a half to
 run from a local
 mirror I keep.  Only takes 30 minutes now.

 Bravo!  Keep up the good work!

RE: [Cooker] ld.so.conf

2000-10-08 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

There is additional item to add to the list of concerns.  There seems to be
a missing older version of the libdl.so.1 files which seems to have
disappeared from the ld.so-1.9.11-4mdk.i586.rpm.

Here is what the items seems to be missing compared to the older version
which is composed of two packages of ld.so-1.9.5-13mdk.rpm and
ld-config.1.9.5-13mdk.rpm.

Here is what provided in the ld.so-1.9.5-13mdk.rpm which is as follows:
[root@unixhost4 dedop]# rpm -q -p ld.so-1.9.5-13mdk.i586.rpm -l
/lib/ld-linux.so.1
/lib/ld-linux.so.1.9.5
/lib/ld.so
/lib/ld.so.1.9.5
/lib/libdl.so.1.9.5
/usr/man/man1/ldd.1.bz2
/usr/man/man3/dlclose.3.bz2
/usr/man/man3/dlerror.3.bz2
/usr/man/man3/dlopen.3.bz2
/usr/man/man3/dlsym.3.bz2
/usr/man/man8/ld.so.8.bz2
/usr/man/man8/ldconfig.8.bz2

And the newer in the cooker which is the ld.so.1.9.11-4.mdk.i586.rpm which
is as follows:
/lib/ld-linux.so.1
/lib/ld-linux.so.1.9.11
/sbin/ldconfig
/usr/share/doc/ld.so-1.9.11
/usr/share/doc/ld.so-1.9.11/README
/usr/share/doc/ld.so-1.9.11/copyright
/usr/share/man/man8/ldconfig.8.bz2

Have you noticed that something is seriously missing which is the
libdl.so.1.9.5 or higher with the libdl.so.1 library?  Reason is that I was
building a new Mandrake Webserver using 7.2-Beta3 and noticed that Frontpage
will not work unless this specific library is in.  So...how about fixing
that little item?  I am going to give to Jean the updated Frontpage RPM
Package which will work with the 7.2 Apache due to little change in the user
ownership.

  Scared me that /usr/lib wasn't listed in my config, and you seem to have

 you don't need /usr/lib, see ldconfig(8)

[Cooker] FP Extensions Support Update

2000-09-27 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Hey Jean.  I am wondering if you are considering replacing the default
patches and such that came with Frontpage for Unix in favor of the
Improved_Mod_Frontpage, which I been hearing that is much better.  Plus,
that there is a update release of the FP 2000 for Unix as well.

Any chance of seeing the updates for those?  If you need a hand, let me
know and I see what I can do.

[expert] Status of Using the Mandrake 7.0 / 7.1

2000-09-21 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher



 I figures I drop in a line about the 
current status of using Mandrake for production servers.

 I am currently using three servers, 
with the following configurations as follows:

Pentium III 500Mhz, 256 Meg of Ram, 15 Gigs 
Drives.
Here 
is what I have configured on those three bad ass monsters:

Apache 
1.3.12 - Provided by Jean with the MySQL Database, PHP4, formerly 3, Perl, 
Frontpage, Tomcat 3.2-Beta4, IBM Java 1.1.3, Qmail 1.03 with Vpopmail and 
Qmailadmin and SSH.

 And the result? I currently 
have over 6482 domains hosted on all servers, with 1142 on Unixhost 1, 1328 on 
Unixhost2 and 5392 on Unixhost3. If you are wondering why I have such a 
huge number on Unixhost3, it is due to the fact that Unixhost1 and 2 are moved 
servers from leased servers to our home brewed server and transferred the files 
over from there, which include removing Sendmail crap and other custom crap for 
clean installation. Unixhost3 is built from scratch and built up from 
there...and it is humming along nicely on Unixhost3with 8 high volume 
websites on Unixhost3, which averages around 40,000 hits per day on those 
specific sites and overall, 900,000 hits per day for everything combined on 
Unixhost3.

 Now...do you think that is little 
unbelievable or not? It was not possible with Redhat back then, but with 
this Mandrake system, I was able to cram so much and still have it run along 
with such aplomb with no problems at all. Now I am currently building a 
new server with 700Mhz system with 384Meg of Memory and 30 Gig drive to handle 
even larger influx of websites and to move some high traffic sites off to 
there.

 Anyone dare claim even bigger piece 
of pie of what Mandrake can do? I think mine is nuts, but works like a 
charm though. Hell... even my boss and the co-location facility who hosts 
it is amazed by it. :)

 So in words... keep up good work 
guys!

[Cooker] PHP4.01 and JServ Comments

2000-08-29 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Ouch...  So... how long do you think we need to wait and which packages are
needed to be fixed for the PHP4.01 version to be considered stable so that I
can put it in the 7.0 and 7.1 Mandrake Servers.  I noticed that some
mentioned about upgrading the Perl to 5.6 which is not a problem for me.
But I want to make sure that the MySQL modules itself along with perl is
working before I upgrade those.

Other than that... everything else seems peachy on the servers.  Just
waiting for the upgrade of the PHP from 3 to 4 so that I can considered this
done.

BTW... I noticed that some people have mentioned problems with the JServ
module under Apache.  I got it working, after recompiling the JServ module
with the -DEAPI gcc setting to make it work properly under the Apache 1.3.12
Mandrake version.  And it works nicely.  So... I might consider making a RPM
package but I do not know how to do it in the first place.  So...any
pointers or such is helpful so I can make one and release it to the Cooker
for anyone who is interested in it.  It works with SSL and everything else
that I got.

I am thinking of trying to see if I can get TomCat to work, but
frankly...their setup is nuts.  Total departure of the regular Autoconf and
Build setup in favor of whatever they are making.  But I think I can get it
working in a bit after I figure out how they make their modules.  Also...
for the Java System, I am using the IBM 1.1.3 JDK version in case you are
wondering how I got the JServ to work.

[Cooker] MySQL Client Program Problems.

2000-07-13 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Hello Guys.  I am not sure if you know about this but I use the
mysql_setpermission files quite often.  However...the RPMS that I have
gotten recently which is 3.22.32 version, it have client version of 9.38 or
something.  Now...here is the problem I came across when I tried to use it.

I type in the command to start and after giving the correct password, this
is what I get back.

[root@unixhost1 bin]# mysql_setpermission
Password for user  to connect to MySQL:
Can't make a connection to the mysql server.
 The error: Protocol mismatch. Server Version = 10 Client Version = 9 at
/usr/bin/mysql_setpermission line 65, STDIN chunk 1.
[root@unixhost1 bin]#

I cannot figure out how to solve this, but I really need this fixed ASAP,
since I use them to do the quick add of the mysql databases for our
customers and after this upgrade...well.. I am really up the creek here.
Any help is appreciated.




[Cooker] JServ or Jakarta

2000-04-09 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Okay guys.

I been at the hair end and frankly, I would like to propose a challenge to
all for this little dilemma.  If anyone have successfully complied and have
the JServ or Jakarta running on Mandrake 7.02 using the Secured Kernel
Version, I would like to offer that winner a year free of WebHosting with
250 Megs of space on our server with no strings tied except for adult
content stuff.  That means you can put many domains or such under the
allocated space of 250 Megs on it.

So to make this happens, I would like anyone who have successfully
installed the Mandrake 7.02 and the JServ with the Apache additions that is
found at http://coruscant.netrevolution.com/pub/AES/, which includes the
following: SSL, Extranet, MySQL and such, except for the Streaming Server.

So. if anyone can get that to work, I need all the documentations and steps
on how this is accomplished so I can verify it and have it running on the
server.  When it is checked out, then that winner will get that prize.
So...if anyone take it up, get cracking on this.

If you have any questions, please send those questions to
[EMAIL PROTECTED]  Thank you and hopefully, we can get this resolved.  The
rules of the contest is very simple and clear.  Not on Redhat, not on Debian
or anything but on Mandrake 7.02, the latest version there is, with Secured
Kernel Version running on it.




[Cooker] FYI: Secure kernel install

2000-04-01 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Hello.

Have anyone noticed that if you are using the Secure Kernel version, you
cannot go beyond 56 IP addresses on one network card?  Not sure if this is
the feature or not, but I was able to cram up to 200 IP addresses on one
network card, but not with 7.02 Secure Kernel version.

Anyone have simliar problems with this?




[Cooker] Jserv and Java Problems

2000-03-20 Thread Russell \Elik\ Rademacher

Have anyone have any success compiling the JServ and making it work under
Mandrake 7.0 using either Blackdown, IBM or Sun Java binaries from 1.1.7 to
1.2.2 at all?

Reason is that I got it installed and when I tried to run it, it just do
not run at all, which is baffling me...and I haven't got any help from
Jean-Michel on this subject or either people at Java Apache, which all says
recomplie the Apache and use it.  And frankly, I have done all of that, and
nothing still works.  That is the biggest problem here.  I know it worked
under Mandrake 6.1 but not under Mandrake 7.0.  So... how about some
invegistating to see what we can find to squash this problem.




[Cooker] Apache - JServ Problems

2000-03-16 Thread elik

Hello all.

  I currently have problems with the Apache Server
with the JServ added to it.  It seems that it does not
like each other due to the fact that the JServ do not
work with the Apache as it is.

  Have anyone have any success on making the JServ
work with the Apache at this time, with any
documentations on this?
