We already discussed this problem about one year ago. The result was the following solution: The main configuration file is /etc/inetd.conf. If xinetd is installed the first time it should create /etc/xinetd.conf based on the current /etc/inetd.conf. If you install a package that adds an entry to /etc/inetd.conf using update-inetd (which uses DebianNet.pm) and /etc/xinetd.conf is present either update-inetd should add this entry or it should call a different update-xinetd tool. The former xinetd maintainer said that he'll write the necessary functions for DebianNet.pm but I never got them so I can't add them to DebianNet.pm. If somebody writes these functions (or a seperate update-xinetd) I would be happy to change update-inetd/DebianNet.pm to use them. > update-services [update /etc/services] Normal packages are not allowed to modify /etc/services (it's a conffile of netbase) for a couple of reasons. /etc/services is a static file which contains a standard set of service names, it's not comparable to other config file where you add and remove entries when you install or remove a package. It is important that the service names and port numbers are compatible with the "assigned numbers" RFC and other unix systems otherwise it could happen that some unix systems can't talk to each other because they don't use the same port numbers for the service.

We have the following possible solutions: a) let the base disks install ftp and telnet and ignore the fact that these tools are not registered in the dpkg database until netstd is installed. b) move ftp and telnet to netbase. c) move ftp and telnet to a package that will only be installed when you do a new system installation (a package that can only be installed by the base disks and that is not available in the regular binary-* directories). netstd can later use "Replace:" to replace the binaries in that package or use "Replace:" and "Conflict:" if the package only contains ftp and telnet. I won't use solution b) because ftp and telnet simply do not belong to netbase. As I mentioned in a previous mail the purpose of the netbase package is only to configure the network (ifconfig/route) and to get other networking services up and running (inetd/portmapper). It would be possible to use solution a) but it is not the optional solution. So we probably have to use solution c). To do so the basedisk maintainer should either add the ftp/telnet entries to an existing package or create a new package at installation time (for example by using the following command: echo -e "/usr/bin/ftp\n/usr/bin/telnet\n" >/var/lib/dpkg/info/xyz.list). I just have to know the name of this package so I know which name I have to use for the Replace/Conflicts line in the netstd control file.

I think you got me wrong on this issue. About one month ago I asked on debian-devel what the other debian developers think about it. As a result I changed netstd to make sure that the ftp client will work. Due to an ext2fs problem I had to restore the netstd sources from tape and I forgot to re-apply this patch along with two other patches from Topi Miettinen to the netstd sources.

You can't be sure that all ftp daemons use the same command line arguments. A possible solution could look like this: 1. every ftpd package adds its own line to /etc/inetd.conf. These lines are commented out (maybe with a special comment-chars value) by default. 2. every ftpd package registers itself to special file in /var/lib/dpkg (optionally with a priority similar to the normal alternatives mechanism). 3. if a new ftpd package is installed it asks the user if he wants to use it as the default ftpd (if the daemon has already been registered as mentioned above there should be no such question). 4. update-inetd (or to be more precise DebianNet.pm) will then read this new ftpd-alternatives file on startup and will only enable the line which has been selected as default (or the one with the highest priority).

As far as I know Michael uses a proxy in the same lan (maybe the client also runs on this machine). When you get some pages from the local proxy and the proxy does an ident lookup for each connection you'll get lots of ident lookups (getting pages from the proxy is quite fast so you'll get lots of lookups in a very short time). > > Using "nowait.120" is of course a solution but it is probably better > > to find the application that is causing the problem. > > It is not clear that there is a problem, other than heavy use.

Getting more than 40 ident lookups a minute is not a usual situation. The best solution is to find the reason (the sender!) of the ident requests (if it is a local service/system the ident lookups for that service/system should probably be turned off). Setting the limit to 120 will keep the system running but won't reduce the (maybe unnecessary) traffic. If the number of requests can't be reduced the identd should be run in standalone mode.

Have you tried the -l (and maybe the -d) option of the identd? BTW: Never ever use the tcp_wrapper for the identd (you'll get a nice tcpd->identd->tcpd->... loop). You could also check (and count) the "connect" messages from the tcp_wrapper in /var/log/daemon.log.

Of course it is the ident service (that's what the error message of inetd said). But the ident service is not a service that is used alone. You have an application/service which is called as often as the ident service. You should have a look at this application. Your problem could also be an entry in hosts.allow or hosts.deny. If you use a username ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) there the tcp_wrapper will do an ident/auth lookup for that service (or for all services if the ALL keyword has been used).

Bug#4465: security hole in netdiag package
Package: netdiag Version: 0.2-3 The postinst script copies the tcpdump binary from the tcpdump package and the traceroute binary from the netstd package to /usr/bin and makes them setuid root.adm. This allows all users in the existing adm group to use tcpdump to get the unencrypted passwords that are transmitted over the network. IMHO the netdiag package shouldn't use tcpdump/traceroute (neither as binaries nor as links). Copying/linking binaries from other packages just to have them in /usr/bin is a bad idea.

Bug#4170: vlock can make the system unusable
Package: vlock Version: 0.8-3 You can block a system for a while using vlock. Just type vlock -a and press the key for a few seconds (or minutes). Result: You can't log in for a couple of minutes. There should either be an option to avoid the calls to the sleep() function or vlock shouldn't accept keyboard input while it sleeps.

If you want to use BSD signals you should use "#include "
and compile the program with "-I/usr/include/bsd".

The cua devices use a kernel based locking mechanism which can't be used in all situations.

Yes, that's a good idea. There could be separate packages for system
tools (memtest, bogomips, ...), for console tools (open, vlock, ...)
and for other tools.

And I thought it was quite obvious :-). The first number after NSTATS is the current time, the second number is the boot time. The next entries are the standard resource records (see the bind manual in /usr/doc/net/bind). The XSTATS line also contains the current time and the boot time. The entries following the time values are [from ns_stats.c]: RQ - sent us a query RR - sent us an answer RIQ - sent us an inverse query RNXD- sent us a negative response RFwdQ - sent us a query we had to fwd RFwdR - sent us a response we had to fwd RDupQ - sent us a retry RDupR - sent us an extra answer RFail - sent us a SERVFAIL RFErr - sent us a FORMERR RErr- sent us some other error RTCP- sent us a query using TCP RAXFR - sent us an AXFR RLame - sent us a lame delegation ROpts - sent us some IP options SSysQ - sent them a sysquery SAns- sent them an answer SFwdQ - fwdd a query to them SFwdR - fwdd a response to them SDupQ - sent them a retry SFail - sent them a SERVFAIL SFErr - sent them a FORMERR SErr- sent failed (in sendto) RNotNsQ - received from remote port != ns_port SNaAns - sent them a non autoritative answer SNXD- sent them a negative response I'll add something like this to /usr/doc/net/bind.

There was no Changlog entry for this bugfix (only the words "security bugfixes") because the bug should not be made public at this point. Netstd versions 1.21-1 and above are ok (or 1.20 and above if you use ld.so v1.7.x).

Bug#1711: adduser replaces NIS entries in /etc/passwd
Package: adduser Version: 1.94-1 The adduser script replaces NIS entries with real entries, e.g. +guest:/home/guest:/bin/bash will become guest:Et0G64UQTkzbw:1001:100:Guest Account:/home/guest:/bin/bash The adduser script shouldn't touch lines starting with a + or - character.

Maybe we'll have a binary package with the tools for general national language support sometimes. What about "xnls", "motifnls" or "nlsmotif"?

They will be part of the next netbase package (as conffiles). BTW: Can you send me your current versions of these files (especially /etc/services and /etc/protocols)?

If not you'll have problems if /etc/services is not there. Every program that does a getservbyname, getservbyport or getservent (e.g. syslogd) won't work. The same problem might exist with /etc/protocols and getprotoent, getprotobyname and getprotobynumber. Because of these reasons Ian M. put them on the basedisk.
